Needs to be an electrical interlock circuit that prevents the claw from opening (hydraulics solenoid) whenever the magnet attachment is installed and functioning. High quality fabrication and welding workmanship skills.
Good to see you back on the job young man and that you are well again. Nice job on the magnet and the new truck. The shop dog, you have to have one and he looks quite the character. I have a German Shepherd and he gets in the way plenty too. All the best for 2024!
great job. I think that the mount holes how you did them are actually better than what you were going to do. Although I get the point you would never have been able to weld them inside anyway. The bracket itself is the structure. The bolts just keep it from jumping off. 👍
I knew there was a reason they said "And the meek shall inherit the Earth" ,,, but who will drive our semi-trailers and weld large bits of steel together. Yep, mate, you make it look dead easy, but speaking as a crap welder, if I was to do this job, I'd be forever worried when those welds would break and drop a 5 ton magnet on someone or something. Yep again you make it look so easy, not knowing the confidence you have in your brilliant skills. Good on you mate a wonderful video and an even more wonderful job. Thank you for sharing a small percentage of your skills with us in this video. Well done mate, well done.
Sorry to hear you were on the DA list. U've created at least one addict waiting for the next fix1!!!!!1 Thanks for the tubing bender demo. I've seen many of them but never seen them put to use, great device. Your bend pattern was ingenious. U are a pretty smart feller.
I was trying to figure out why the scrap yard wanted that(looks like the hub\planetary cover from a big machine of some kind - D-11?) on there at all? Then you said the claw grabs it and it made more sense. They didn't want it dedicated to the magnet & wanna swap from claw to magnet. Most yards have both dedicated machines claw & magnet. But for a smaller operation this make more sense having 1 machine do both. Just have quick connect wire plug on boom. It absolutely needs the safty chain cause I can 100% see a new operator throwing the magnet across the yard or crushing someone or their truck\trailer. I've seen some of these guys working at scrap yards & understand why the chain is necessary!😄🤔👍🏻👌🏻🛠️🔧🗜️ 29:50 good shot there explaining it. Cool video. Something different on this one. It must be nice to have the variety of projects to repair. Keeps the work more pleasureable & keeps you thinking. If you love your job, it'll never be work!
Great job! I was a little concerned that the wire pipe will lead water into the connection box like a rain gutter, but it seems to work so far! That magnet deserves a pacemaker warning sticker... 😂 Nice to see that you and the dog feel better by now, thx for the video, have a great New Year! 👍👍👍
I’ve noticed that several welders from UA-cam repair equipment using mig or flux core instead of stick welding was wondering if it was cost of electrodes or comfortability preference, great video and greetings from central cali
It's not the cost that is a determing factor. When welding outdoors the wind, even the most miniscule of breezes, will rob you gas when mig welding. Flux core would have worked in this case but if you ever have to change wire in the machine to weld dissimilar metals it's a pain. Stick welding uses no gas, not affected by environment, and no need to change wire just change electrodes. They make hundreds if not thousands of different electrodes for stick welding. Simplified explanation hope this clears things up for you. Have a Happy New Year.
21;30...I had to chuckle about clamping to the forklift, I bolted with T Nuts my Hossfeld bender to my Bridgeport Mill...[2,200 lbs] and I ended up dragging the mill all around my shop.... Justin form the Fabrication Series uses the same or similar tubing bender you have......it is somewhat different than the Hossfeld, the way it moves the die on the tube, where the Hossfeld moves the tube on the die.... great job Greg......cheers, PB...I do see you are up and answering comments at the moment....It is still 123123 where you are.... 12 31 23.......later, Paul
Nice to see you again the scrap yard near me Andersen wrecking has detected machines with permanent magnets, some machines with claws and a huge shredder can shredder a car in 5min
New subscriber! Very impressive!! You guys are very good at what you do!! I love your mobile welding setup, I hope to be in your position someday with a mobile welding truck like yours!! Keep the videos coming, I’ve learned a lot from you!!
Reflex motion, he was going to drop the load from magnet, fingers automatically ran the claw to release instead. It's why it sucks having to hop from one machine to the next when they are set up different. You do embarrassing mistakes.
In the first try you could see the importance of the safety chain. The reflex of letting the load go translates into opening the claw. He almost dropped the magnet
Another nice job. Was worried you have not put anything up in a few weeks. Glad you are back at it and feeling better. Great on another truck as well. Do you think down the road you will get a cnc machine. I worked on a tunnel project the contractor I was working for had things cut out on a cnc machine always right on. I like you Hossfled bender have used on myself years ago. I have bent 2 inch pipe filling with sand and capping the ends. Lot extra work but works. I have been a pipeline welder my whole career but would give most anything now to have taken the path like you. Again you are a true craftsman. All the best in 2024.
You could weld a bar on the base of your tubing bender to step on, so you don't slide around. or make it so you can slide it in and out, so it's not always in the way. Since you don't seem to want to bolt it to the floor, which I totally get for a small shop with limited space. Need to be able to move stuff out of the way.
Suggestion on the side where the power lead comes out if you put a piece of box section or pipe from the centre out through one of the gaps between the Claw and pulling on Cable.👍
screen room aluminum kickplate 16,24,36" widths, .024 sheet makes excellent pattern material, easy to cut, Wiss or scissors, no wrinkles, very clean edges.
I question using rigid conduit between the "junction box" of the magnet to that vertical tube. There is a bit of play at the three attachment points. Perhaps some flexible conduit with a grounding conductor would take up any natural movement.
That wire tab is a little weak. That’s a pretty sharp corner for the wire to make. If the gotten of that tar is open the I would recommend drilling the hole maybe 2” up of bottom the post and making the hole more trapezoidal and the tube a little longer.abd welded in place.so the wire can be fed
Was that your new 800 amp Miller mounted on the new truck with two of you welding at the same time, looks like it was working great and was a good investment, keep up the great videos.
Looks like you almost got to see the safety chain at work. Looked like the operator was going to open the grapple and not release the magnet when he first started playing with it!

You must have been hell in kindergarten !! Your adaptation of "cardboard" in CAD was priceless!!!
Happy days buddy, often watch but rarely comment
Wanted to wish you a wonderful new year, and all the very best to you and yours Ralfy
Outstaniding work as expected. Glad you're feeling better! Thanks for bringing us along!
*On Fire Welding* Bravo well done, always a pleasure to see you. Thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.
Glad you're feeling better
great modification. Definitely for flinging metal from one pile to another!
great job. I think that the mount holes how you did them are actually better than what you were going to do. Although I get the point you would never have been able to weld them inside anyway. The bracket itself is the structure. The bolts just keep it from jumping off. 👍
I see you've been busy so thanks for taking the time to fit us in.
So glad your feeling better and back at the videos again, have a happy new year I hope that 2024 is an on 🔥 year for you and the rest of us watching.
Don't ever leave us again!! I was watching some pretty bad content while you were out, glad you're back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job that should last them a while some good strong weld on the those plates and nice idea on routing the wire threw the pipe ...
Love seeing your dog back on the scene..his leg looks much better.
Great job! Looked for a second like the operator was going to test the safety chain. Thanks for sharing with us and glad you are feeling better.
So glad your back! I look everyday to see if you have a new post. Happy New Year !!
Sorry to hear you were on the DA list. U've created at least one addict waiting for the next fix1!!!!!1

Great job I’ve missed your videos glad you are doing better.
Good to hear you're feeling better , nice work as always , all the best for 2024
Well done, Greg. Glad to hear you're feeling better. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Ditto on glad to see you back. Wishing you and family a safe and prosperous New Year.

Good to have you back among the tired, hungry, and poor !
You do nice work, thats why your busy. Keep Smilin and Happy New Year.
Glad you're back and glad you are better. I love seeing the solutions. Filming is good. Thanks
Great job! I was a little concerned that the wire pipe will lead water into the connection box like a rain gutter, but it seems to work so far!
That magnet deserves a pacemaker warning sticker...
😂
Nice to see that you and the dog feel better by now, thx for the video, have a great New Year!
👍👍👍
I was really wondering what happened. I looked on his community page and found nothing to indicate he was not well. Did I miss something?
Happy New Year Greg, wishing you all the best for 2024.........Paul down in Florida
hello Greg I am very happy .... you are be back !!!! my teatcher of weilding HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!
Hey stranger! 😊! Glad you’re doing well! Thanks for all this year’s videos and hard work! Looking forward to 2024! Happy New Year! Be blessed! 👌👍
Excellent presentation. Thank you. Great to have you back.
Bad A.. as always, and a Happy New Year to you and yours!!!
Thank you for sharing, always a pleasure watch your project, happy new year 👍👍👍👍
Glad your feeling better. That is a beautiful service truck.

Simplified explanation hope this clears things up for you. Have a Happy New Year.
The main reason I run wire over stick is because it’s a lot faster.
Another job well done . That's a small magnet but it get's the job done . Great video .
Ya, it’s amazing how big these things can get.
Wishing the best new year to you. Glad to hear you feel better and back on posting.
Glad you're feeling better. Best wishes for the New Year 😊😊
awesome stuff! on the test run saw those claws start to open and panicked a bit lol. love from maine. keep smiling.
Glad you well! Been missing you. Great job on magnet!
Glad you are feeling better thats a nice shop hippo critical for moral nice fab job!
Nice to see you back bro. May 2024 be a damn sight better than 2023. ✊🏻
Great video.Like the CAD system.Works great.May all your endeavours in 2024 work out well.
Looks good!!! Perfect for using E7024 Jet Rod!!
Nice job... Good to see you back posting. The new shop truck is almost as good looking as the old shop dog ;)
Nice work! Good to see you still got it with the stick welding!
Good to see you at work again.
21;30...I had to chuckle about clamping to the forklift,
I bolted with T Nuts my Hossfeld bender to my Bridgeport Mill...[2,200 lbs]
and I ended up dragging the mill all around my shop....
Justin form the Fabrication Series uses the same or similar tubing bender
you have......it is somewhat different than the Hossfeld, the way it
moves the die on the tube, where the Hossfeld moves the tube on the die....
great job Greg......cheers, PB...I do see you are up and answering comments
at the moment....It is still 123123 where you are.... 12 31 23.......later, Paul
Liked the definition of CAD!
Nice to see you again the scrap yard near me Andersen wrecking has detected machines with permanent magnets, some machines with claws and a huge shredder can shredder a car in 5min

Thank you for the support!
Welcome back and thanks.
Happy New-year!!!
Happy New Year , glad your back !
You should do a video on the new service truck setup, inside and out, what your putting in it, etc. I’m sure a lot of people would like to see that.
Bro did you see the operator almost drop the magnate we almost got to witness a test of the safety chain lol
Came here to say the same lmao
Reflex motion, he was going to drop the load from magnet, fingers automatically ran the claw to release instead.
It's why it sucks having to hop from one machine to the next when they are set up different. You do embarrassing mistakes.
Nice one! Merry Christmas and a Happy 20024!
Glad you’re feeling better, another interesting project mastered. 🤘🤘 Happy New Year🎉🎉🎉 keep up great work.
Happy to have you back. Happy New Year to you and your family!
@OFW5 Winner, winner Chicken dinner!
Hope everything is great and I know you will have a wonderful Year coming up..
Well done 👍... excellent presentation 👍.
@37:28 Whoa, operator almost let go of the magnet!
May have been testing the chain safety
@@Levathain Nah, a test would have been to remove the wired, and let it go. He got confused with his controls.
@@SomeGuyInSandy The operator will have to build some new muscle memory on this toy. Opening the jaws = let go of the grab.
Must happen every so often - that's why they requested the safety chain addition I guess!
After seeing that, I think this whole thing is a bad idea.
In the first try you could see the importance of the safety chain. The reflex of letting the load go translates into opening the claw. He almost dropped the magnet
Another nice job. Was worried you have not put anything up in a few weeks. Glad you are back at it and feeling better. Great on another truck as well.

I do want a CNC plasma table.
Good to see shop dog leg is healing up. Also really cool build you did!
Happy New Year....really enjoy the vids.
@OFW5 Champ of what...thanks.
Welds are impeccable.
Almost tested the safety chain. Great job.
Hey Greg , you just made it before the end of 23 🙂
Nice work buddy and happy new year. Josh Moore.

Cardboard Assited Design (CAD) - loved it!
Suggestion on the side where the power lead comes out if you put a piece of box section or pipe from the centre out through one of the gaps between the Claw and pulling on Cable.👍
screen room aluminum kickplate 16,24,36" widths, .024 sheet makes excellent pattern material, easy to cut, Wiss or scissors, no wrinkles, very clean edges.
great job as always happy new year
Great and insightful video!
Neat job, love the unique part of your work.
Интересно было побывать на Американской металлоприемке.
Maybe double nut the pin bolts to keep the threads protected. Also, good to see shop dog hanging in there.
Finally, after a long time !! Let us send some gifts to that old shop dog
Send all you want. You can look me up on google
Interesting problem and nicely solved..
CAD design = Cardboard Assisted Design ! I like it
Happy new year.
Happy new year, look after your health, everything else then works out…
Happy new year!
Nice video and presentation.
I didn’t know that angle grinder requires a plasma lens. Page 11:00
You don't see magnets like that every day. Very cool.
On Fire Welding and Snowball Engineering in the same day! Don't get much better! Except if CEE were in the offering!
636 👍's up on fire welding thank you for sharing 😊
I question using rigid conduit between the "junction box" of the magnet to that vertical tube. There is a bit of play at the three attachment points. Perhaps some flexible conduit with a grounding conductor would take up any natural movement.
Great job, that thing looks heavy ash
That wire tab is a little weak. That’s a pretty sharp corner for the wire to make. If the gotten of that tar is open the I would recommend drilling the hole maybe 2” up of bottom the post and making the hole more trapezoidal and the tube a little longer.abd welded in place.so the wire can be fed
The air over hydraulic ram kits for the tubing benders are pretty cheap using an engine hoist cylinder and make life much easier.
Thanks for the vids Mr B ,,happy new year 🎉🎉🎉
Excellent job!
Was that your new 800 amp Miller mounted on the new truck with two of you welding at the same time, looks like it was working great and was a good investment, keep up the great videos.
No, it was the 600.
The good thing about watching your videos I definitely don't get no flash Barnes
great work!!!
Looks like you almost got to see the safety chain at work. Looked like the operator was going to open the grapple and not release the magnet when he first started playing with it!
Hahaha rookie operator
