- During my time back home in Kansas, I was asked if I could fabricate an industrial style cable and turnbuckle railing. There's a first time for everything, and here's how I did it. w00t. Tools and Materials listed below.
Support Steel: / brettmcafee
Behind the scenes: / skullandspade13
Tools and Materials used:
The Best Welding Helmet: amzn.to/2ucHy0j
Miller Welder: amzn.to/2S6QT1I
Magnets: amzn.to/38X5Hqf
Clearcoat: amzn.to/2Uf2WN6
Chop Saw: amzn.to/2S6DF4Z
Angle Grinder: amzn.to/2UeBQFK
Double-Square: amzn.to/2OL9hcI - Jak na to + styl
If you wrap an old rag around your magnet it’s much easier to get your filings off of it later. Just remove the rag .
Ah, good advice
Brett McAfee I learned that from Jim. 😉
Indeed, I wish someone had suggested that to me before I first used a welding magnet to hold a peice flat on a grinder belt. Great tip!
Hahaha THIS is the secret sneaky stuff I came here to learn, thanks for the tip!
Loving the video style and your sense of humour, we need more Brett talking to the camera! 😀
Well shucks. Thanks
The Skull and Spade attitude, "Get to it." Words to live by.
Damn right
I see a tee In The future. Awesome video Brett.
Feel like you found a new vibe and new style in a new spot. I like it.
We change it up as we go along on this adventure sir ; )
Want to weld small bits of steel into big bits of steel now! Fine work dude
Do it!!!!!
Really love this video style. Snappy editing, and clear and concise comments. Music works well too 👍
Thank you sir!
Nice video. Nice to see you back doing what you do best.
Thank you Michele!

Great build, nice and sturdy. I liked this style of video, very informative.
Thank you Graham. A little different...but aren’t we all ; )
Dude! This was such a bad ass video and the way you do everything you do it always is so easy to follow and looks like you have been doing it for decades!! Loved it and know that everything is changed in your situation but know that you have a major group of loyal fans that have your back no matter what!!
Wow...thank you for the kind words Josh.
Never having done anything like that, it was really interesting to see the process and hear you explaining each step. Thanks for bringing us along! 👍🙂
Thank YOU!
Love the improvisational attitude of the whole project. Way to go sir.
Whatever works. Right?
I hope Kansas brings you much happiness. Looking forward to you tricking out the new space!
Working on it!

The depth-of-field focus-shift at 13:12 there... hot damn!
Nifty build all around, those young'uns ain't going anywhere.
Thank you sir! They sure aren’t!
Nicely done. Cool trick leaving the flap on the end to cover the tube openings. Welcome back to the friendly Midwest, maybe I'll see you around. I'm slightly West of Nowheresville. Thanks for sharing!
I blew through with the wind unfortunately. But I waved
Cool video. You did a nice job on that.
Thanks Jim!
Looks nice!
Thank you!
Love you, Brett.
No YOU
Awesome as usual 👍
Thank you!
Nice work there!
Thank yiu
You can actually make the cable ends so that the sharp frayed part is down inside the crimp ferrules so that they do not catch peoples clothes... or little kids fingers! Awesome job!
Noted! Good advice there
@@skullandspade My father showed me that trick one time, glad I can pass it on to others!
I was thinking a piece of Black Heat Shrink would work well, as well.
Moin.
A new video from Mr. McAffee? - Ahh... Videotime, coffeetime, relaxtime, metime! 👍
Woohoo!!!
Nice video! : ) Project turned out great. Nicely designed. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Thank you as always brother
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
Great stuff
Thank you!
Great work man
Thank you! Nice name ; )
@@skullandspade thanks if you care to swing by the channel you may like it or not
Great work with minimal tools ! Glad to see you getting back at it :-)
Thank you brother
I love how the avoidance of math in this project. 😂 Great build as always!
Hahahah
Your Mom is better at math than my Mom. Great vid!
Hahahah! Thank you so much for watching sir. I’ll let my mom know what you said
Love the narration style, I learned me some new things 😄
Says the talented lady kicking ass at welding!
Nice job thanks for the video
Thank YOU
Great build 👍 expressive work 👌
Thank you Jens!
A someone who made a custom metal railing myself I am jealous you had to attach to concrete . Mine was interior and and had so many angles and turns. I love the way it came out Brett, Thanks for sharing your ways.
Thank YOU brother
Great looking railings, felt like I was in Jimbo's Garage 👍 👍
Heyoooooo
Great job, that railing turned out awesome! Like many others, i really liked your professional wind screen 🤣
Well thank you!
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyuuuuuuuuuuoop! Railed it!
Hahahahahahah
I like the floopin over of the ends to close it off. This project turned out great. Avoiding math is the best way to do it.
As often as possible ; )
At the 2:31 mark...
The image of the two birds cuddling to the right of the bottom of the panel box and the edge of the OSB was subtle; however, it did not go unnoticed. Nice touch there Captain. Much like the image of Phyllis Diller and/or Albert Einstein shown in the OSB between the door and the rolling tool chest. The shout out thanking Mom was nice as well. Good Job Brett and thanks for sharing.
Thank you as always for the kind words, and attention to detail
Beautiful job. Welcome back to Kansas; you're in my backyard.
Well heck!
This is the kind of content I like to see on youtube.
Woohoo!
Welcome back to the land of ahhs Brett. Hope I'll see you around at some of the KC maker fairs.
I’m sure I’ll be around. I’m out west for the time being. In the desert
