    well its more then 2 years on that you make my big boy bus rack and with countless trips down to the south of Mexico,
    the bus and rack are doing well
    i now keep a 14ft canoe on the roof full time and have enjoyed several sunset sat on the roof deck.
    ones again thank you for the outstanding work

    Hey what type of screw did you use to attach boards? That metal roofing type with the hex head and rubber washer?

    • @metaspencer
      @metaspencer  3 роки тому

      Thanks for checking it out! I typically use a wood-to-steel self-tapping screw, but in this case I had to use a stainless self-tapper that took some pre-drilling. Good solid connection so I was happy.

    did you happen to run out of gas, and switch to flux core mid project? not picking on you or anything but I did notice the first welds were super clean, and later they had some soot around them (Atleast the ones I saw)

      @@metaspencer a good upgrade would probably be a miller multimatic 220, I want one (Since its mig, tig and stick) but it is really expensive (around $3000)
      also a set of welding pliers is great
