Steel & Redwood Hammock Stand
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2024
- I picked up the steel at a local salvage yard and the redwood fence posts at the Home Depot. The majority of the time spent on this project was me screwing up the nerve to start welding.
I'm a fan of MIG love the sound and thoroughly enjoyed melting metal in the shop! I guarantee you will see more of this.
Mrs. Brown was huge in helping me finalize the joining method with the carpenter shims and the leveling feet. She was the voice of reason, to keep me from freaking out at the last mile.
As I know someone will ask. Evolution sent me a saw last year, and Hobart sent me a welder. No one paid me to make this video and I purchased the steel for the welding table, gas for the welder and the cart to set it all on. If either of them does sponsor an episode, I will disclose that in the video.

Mr. Brown, you should dip a fork in clear resin then shape it into the form of a spoon, then you can eat soup with a fork and blow people's minds!
Will Parry I don’t know you, but I love you 😍
You should make scissors out of some stone like granite, and use some micarta for the handle. Would it be rock, paper, or scissors?
HAHA! That's hilarious
do it!
This must happen.
I too think that's such a cool project idea!
If the scissors were made of obsidian, they could be VERY sharp.
Peter, could you try dipping some rust dust? Dunno what you could make out of it, maybe a door knob or something? But I think it would be interesting!
that's a great idea!
Yea! I really liked the way that the murder bowl turned out! definatly one of my favourite projects to date. I think that the red colour (yes colour, im from the UK don't judge me 😂😂) from the rust would give a really nice contrast!
I agree a rust dipped door knob would be great, and a red wood shaving set of door stoppers too!
rust dust.
Take it another step further and add aluminum powder to the rust dust. Thermite, DIP IT!
For the first time welding i think you did a wonderful job
Thank you very much. I've been watching a lot of ua-cam.com/users/weldingtipsandtricks
Alyx Rigby I agree, I've been welding for 6 months and mine are just now looking that good
whole lot better than my first job
Next time just as a suggestion try putting a bevel at the join you will need to use a little more welding wire but you will also end up with a stronger weld a good portion of ending up with a good weld (even with experience) is how you prep the material and joint area
Alyx Rigby that's what I started doing about a month ago
I have no experience in the shop or anything, and I have no interest in doing these things myself, but watching you do it so much fun and entertaining! Absolutely love your videos!
liking the video not for the whole build but because of those 5 seconds at the end where you continued to swing. so satisfying
Stick welders usually work a whole lot better for heavier weight material than mig welders, but you still did a great job. Props to my grandpa for teaching me these things, because I'm 11, and these days kids my age don't really learn these types of things, and I'm actually pretty mediocre at mig and stick welding, and I wouldn't have even learned any of this stuff if it weren't for him.
In my opinion, this is the best DIY hammock stand. Little metal, only wood as needed! Good job!
I think the video cut off a little early, I didn't see the part where you dipped the hammock in epoxy?
nice weld job for a rookie , plus you didn't burn the shop down lol 👍
Whoo Hoo! I was super paranoid about the sparks!
PsychoAxeMan you haven't been working in a shop long enough if you haven't burnt something
So true lol
that's always a plus
I don't know why, but seeing Peter use a hand drill both surprised and startled me.
Great job, Peter! Nice to see that you stepped out of your comfort zone and got into welding. Looking forward to your next video!
Thanks!
A bit more current and a tad less feed and you're a welding star
k Bosell It opens up so many new projects! Just like Arduino haha
Haven't gotten into arduino, yet. Maybe someday I'll get curious enough or have a project that requires it hah.
Glad to see someone else with a side business in tripping hazards. My shop seems to be a shrine to them. Truly under appreciated as a vocabulary builder. 🤐
DIP IT: HAMMOCK EDITION!
When you can't stand your hammock swinging in the breeze!
you were waiting for this comment werent you? so you could reply like that :D
AHAHAHAHA
my son is totally obsessed with your channel if we let him he would sit and watch them for hours you are awesome
Peter you did an awesome job, your welds are sweet for your first attempt. Now just lay back and relax mate!
I don't know how I haven't run out of these videos. You are an inspiration Pete
Nice job! Welding is an art just like wood turning. The more you practice and get comfortable with the material and tool it becomes an extension of your body...
Peter you're the reason I want to be a wood worker(idk if that's what you call it) I've been watching your videos for a good while and you look like you have so much fun. Love everything you do ❤
4:43 the way the sparks bounce off the inside of the beam looks amazing
You'd be lying to yourself if you called this anything but a success. You built a damn hammock stand thingy. That's awesome. Lol
I like that you used steel. A lot of these stands use wood only and there by have a lot of excess material that makes it look bulky. Use steel where it's necessary!
Great welds for your first time, and the finished product is nicer than my store bought hammock, 10/10
i have watched almost all of your videos and i think honestly of all the woodworking youtubers i watch you are my favorite. i love your work!!!
I'm happy to see someone I watch trying new things, I watch machining channels for their metal work but I've yet to see a channel i like watching the welder work nor an initiate trying a blind handi look forward to more welding more projects
I like the expanded horizon of welding and metal work
First weld? If I honestly didn't know better, I would have sworn blind that you had done them before. They're bloody excellent, and you are right to be proud of them! As you said, practice makes perfect, but that shouldn't take anything away from those!
Cool video, Peter. You looked so happy and relaxed at the end. Plus, loved the singing bird who was with you.
keep up the good work Mr. Brown.
Magnificent! I'm glad you were able to "steel" your resolve to tackle welding.
I am a fully qualified professional welder and they are some nice welds for someone that's never picked up a welder before mine were horrific when I first got my hands on a welder good job !
A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't.
Pretty sweet looking welds to say it was your first time!
Ive only known and watched your channel for about a month now, but I absolutely love it. Its so calming, thank you for posting
Peter I think Ikea would hunt you down for your skills , great job , cool project, thanks for sharing👌
Thanks for the mind blowing audio during the cut
Ooooooh thats looks so comfortable, love the backyard, birds chirping too, that hammock looks amazing.
You should feel very proud of yourself! It is a stunning hammock and looks like it rocks very smoothly.
Awesome seeing this type of video after all the videos about smaller things!
for someone who's typically a woodworker those are some damn good welds! Nice peter !
This is killer, you did a good job on those beads for your first time. Controlling a molten puddle is a lot harder then some might think, but you tackled it nicely sir!
it always astonishes me how well you can do these amazing things (without burning anything down, lol)! i love how creative all of these projects are! :)
beannn_2005 Practice makes perfect. Its really true. I only noticed that after my last exams at school.
Kudos to you, my friend, for trying something new. It looks amazing. Better than I would do on my first try.... Or first five tries. Lol Nice project, great video Peter.
Nice one, Peter! I haven't been in a hammock since I was a kid, but that looking mighty attractive.
+John Heisz thank you John. This was also my first hammock. Im ditching my bed...
Man, this reminds me just how much I miss welding. Haven't done any since 2009 :(
this has been on my project list forever. maybe this year is the year!
I love your videos because they are so creative using old techniques for a new vision
This was a wonderful project. And what a payout in the end hanging on a hammock feeling satisfied.
Just started watching your videos two days ago and you have me hooked! The things you create are awesome!
The best part of UA-cam is when Peter Brown uploads a video.
Nice project. good going on the welding. Helpful tip: slow down a bit. Keep up the great videos. I love it that you step outside you comfort zone to do project. awesome! Thanks.
Excellent job! I find it funny that by the end of the Vlog you answered my question as to why you didn't grind down your welds! 😃 Look forward to your next project.
Ughhhh I love you so much! By far the BEST and my FAVOURITE UA-camr of all time without a doubt! I get so giddy when I get that notification (only person I get notifications for) I'm so glad I stumbled upon your videos about a year ago now! Have a great weekend peter you're the best :) (you're also the only person I'll write comments for)
You are my favorite maker on youtube. You're funny, concise, and most importantly, you explain what you're doing as you go along.
Nice project Peter! Now it's time for a nap! You have earned it.
The wait was well worth it. Amazing project. Even though it was your first attempt at welding it was a very good well. Just a little practice and you'll be a pro
I've never tried welding, but after this, and listening to Crafted Podcast, I really want to learn! Great job as usual Peter!
It's really fun moving that puddle around. And it sounds like bacon frying...
Mmmmm... bacon 🥓 😁
Hubbard's Handmade A welder and a metal lathe are high up my priority list. I just need a bigger workshop. They take up so much space.
Nice job, Peter! That looks comfy, and I'm with you...I like the design of it.
Rad to see you expending your creativity to welding too! Love your stuff!
Peter, for your future welding endeavors you should bevel the edges of where your going to be welding whenever possible. This will allow the puddle to flow deeper and promote better penetration than a surface weld. By no means am I a professional welder but beveling has indeed saved my ass in many critical welds!
Nice! I made a hammock stand last year from cedar and threaded rod. Everyone is impressed with a hammock stand, haha! :)
MORE WELDING VIDEOS!! Your a great fabricator/welder keep it up
Nice to see you relaxing once in a while
i find your videos very relaxing to watch when I'm stressed out at work or home. The fact you left the welds is pretty cool. Most people obsess with being perfect and won't admit a mistake. It looks fantastic! keep up the wonderful work.
Miss you, Mr. Brown.
Peter, I just wanna say that your channel is amongst my top 10. Every time i get a notification i'm hoping for it to be a video from you, and when it is I get nice and cozy and watch it with delight. Keep doing what you're doing!
Love watching the evolution of this channel. From wood working, to resin/epoxy, and now on to welding. Great job!
Nice welding, nice project and nice socks. I thought they were pink for a moment.
Nicely done! Looks perfect to me and your backyard is looking lovely. I hope you and your family enjoy it in good health.
just finished my stand four hours before this video was uploaded, perfect timing!
You are not a crappy painter. you are a great painter
+Austin Vines You should watch the hot glue bowl before you say that! :)
Holy moly that looks incredibly comfy. Fantastic job
two quick suggestions cuz it's almost summer! they both have to do with watermelon actually.
1. redo that tiki project you did years ago with a watermelon cuz watermelon carving.
2. dry out the inside of a water melon and see if you can fill it with resin. than make something summery out of it!
i get so excited to see a Peter Brown video in my feed. I love your content 👌🏾
Beautiful, my yard is thirsty for a hammock like this!
Was this the lovely Mrs. Brown's Mother's Day gift?
I have really no interest in shop work except for your videos they are just so amazing I wish I had a shop teacher like you (I actually had to take shop clad in 8th grade) maybe I'd actually have an Interest in it. your videos are pretty soothing too
*class
Ohh, I'd love to see you do a 'dip it' with fairy lights! 😊
Lookin good with the painting technique!
who else gets exciting when he uploads
I'm glad you have ventured into metalwork, I imagine future projects will benefit from these skills
So cool that I watched this video in my little outdoor hammock!!
Wow, great job!! This is really inspiring and I'm so happy you shared this first project with all of us! What an accomplishment!
You got a lot of great shots on this video, I love them. Enjoy your hammock.
This is one of those projects that I imagine would have a lot of pitfalls for a first time welder (I have zero experience), and it looks amazing. Glad you were able to work on a project you could really enjoy for years to come.
Yes I absouletly love your channel such great content always very entertaining, keep it up
Wow. Thank you Steven!
Peter, I wanted to say I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
+badwolf1173 _ thank you!
Love the build and the look of it! I think it would look awesome beside the beach 🌊
Cheers!
Nice looking project there Peter, and some great welding too, not that I know "diddly squat" about welding! ;)
Take care
Mike
good job peter. love your dedication to honesty in your videos. if you ever want some lessons on welding id be more than happy to help you.
your welds look really good for a beginner!! one thing i will recommend is turning up your heat. it will penetrate more and give a stronger bond, also less grinding and it will look better ;)
Peter you constantly impress me. I just got back from the lumber yard to make my own hammock stand over the weekend. this video was an awesome surprise to come home to.
welding was fantastic!look like a pro did that...awesome job!
You rock Peter!! Fantastic result. Love the new direction into welding
Great job, Peter. Way to push your skills.
Great video for a new medium. Thanks for the content Peter!
I've never really built anything but as soon as I see you upload a video i have to watch it lol
You are so chill at the end of the video. I love it!!
Im always super ready for shop time
Very Cool Peter! and I think your welds look awesome esp for someone just starting... !
this looks so nice completed. It also looks way comfy. Nice work.
