- Quick little video on how to make some weld dogs. These can be used for equipment repair, pipe welding and fit up and just about any other welding project you can think of. Enjoy and i hope some people out there can learn and make these themselves.

Takes me back - as an apprentice back in the 60's , we had one day and one night each week at college . We made hold downs/clamps/third hands so that by the end of the apprenticeship , you had a fair set of tools ,013 one old timer told me to make em dog rough - that way no one would steal em cos they wouldn't want to admit to making em LOL - trouble with that was you couldn't take em out of college if they were rough . There was no fancy stuff back then , and everything was done with 6013 .
Nice! You could even do a variation of this to draw two pieces together!
Well, this explained all the holes you should have in your workbench. This for sharing
I learned a new skill. Thanks
Those are very handy to have keep a couple on my truck too
Nice idea with the c-clamp. Thanks I just made two from 1/4 plate.
Glad I can help
I made a few of these they work great I’ve straightened out 1”bar stock to weld in place with them I put a 3/4” nut on top of the handle too for when I really need to crank down on something
nice idea thanks for sharing
Thanks for liking
nice torch
I love those Elkskin 750 Tillmans....cheers, Paul
tilmans rock, i really like any brand actually, youll see in my other videos i always have different pairs
nice beer can collection, cheers, great video trick too....Paul
Glad you noticed the can collection!
Works only if your clamp is FORGED STEEL. If your clamp is cast iron, the weld will be brittle and the clamp won't be able to withstand much clamping force.
I'm also not a big fan of tacking onto your welding table. What you can do INSTEAD is clamp or bolt a larger "sacrificial" 3/8" or 1/4" thick plate onto your table and then tack weld a clamp like this onto your sacrifical plate. This is how you do it if you don't have an expensive fireball tool fixture table or platen table that's designed to accept clamps into various slots. Honestly it's better to invest in one of those tables as soon as your funds allows....because not only do they make workholding easier, they also make setting up jigs easier and more repeatable. Tacking directly onto your weld table over years will result in many high/low spots, which will eventually throw off some of your projects from being square
👍
Those tools are definable a need. Thanks man. I should make some for my home shop. (1 bay garage).
They are the best and easy to make man!
Great idea. I just found your channel and subscribed. Good ideas for my own projects. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching
Old school. Reminds me when I was 18 yrs. Old.
thanks!
Great vid bud. Subscribed 👍🇮🇪
thank you appreciate it
great idea man ,I can use these on the back of my truck !
by the way sick flatbed!!!
they work great
I made one from a Bessy sliding C clamp, been using it for at least 15 years.
thats a good idea
I see that puddins fab shop sticker, i love watching him
He's got a killer channel!
puddins awesome
In the Boilermaker field we call those grasshoppers
interesting to know
We call those a "half clamp", a "weld dog" uses wedges.
A threaded doggg !
i wonder why we dont have dogs like that in the shipyard i work.. when shipfitting to flush out plates i used dogs and wedges..
How's the Everlast welder holding up ?
shes great
Hmmmm, a slight mod - JB Weld a strong magnet to the plate you welded to the clamp to make it more portable? Your thoughts?
could work, could not, probably be ok just to hold something down but not good for something that needs to be really tight
We have the same thing but on steroids. Instead of tacking a little piece of metal on the bottom of the c-clamp weld on a piece of 4x6x⅜ and have the 6" going long ways. Then you only have to do a little ½-1" weld on the front of the plate where you weld it to your work. It gives you a hell of a lot more leverage when working with bigger plate.
And for the one with the nut on the end, if you want to be able to lay down some somewhat thick plate. Throw the nut and bolt out the window and make your little clamp thing much bigger (taller/longer) leave the gap between the cut out and what you are working on the same gap, just make the arm stick out about 2-3" and make them from nothing smaller than ⅜" plate up to ¾" plate. Also with that you will want to either buy some steel wedges or make your own out of some 1 ½-2" solid square bar. If you make your own you can make them different lengths and put different angles on them. When you weld these down. Weld it around the front and a little bit on the side where you will be putting the wedge in at. We usually use both of these clamps when we are welding in AR-400 wear plates that are 2'x5'x⅜ thick and they work pretty damn good.
I have pictures if you would like to see what I am talking about. Good luck on the job and keep up the good work 🫡
Also, I call the first one a half clamp and the second one a wedge plate.
dog and wedge for a future video
ill keep that in mind if you want to see
Never seen the dog w/nut & bolt. I’ll have to try that.
I don't know if I can make these , my machine has a wire coming out of a hose . And you push a button on the hose.☹️
You can use that 👍
That shit ain't gonna hold up homie it's cast.
It's still together so..... 🤷♂️
While I agree with cast being weak, works well with small shit and cheap. Hell, those clamps break on their own in shipping, or when a friend is watching.
