Making a Simple Sheet Goods Carrier | Metal Fabrication & Welding

This video is about making a simple steel sheet goods carrier. The carrier is designed to go under the bottom of the sheet, rather than clamp it at the top. The carrier design here works for all manner of large rectangular sheets including plywood and drywall, but also works for other objects such as doors and table tops. Two of these carriers were made from steel, but the video focuses on the making of one. A dimensioned drawing is shown in the video, which may help the viewer to make their own.

A fair bit stronger than the store-bought versions there Bob! Great work, love the half-angles.

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video and as always thanks for watching, 👍👍👍.

8:00 I don't do a lot of Fabrication, but occasionally I am frustrated by angles in wood working, this is a Great Explanation of "Half Angles"! Thanks!

[@whitedoggarage]

Glad you liked it, I often wonder whether I go into too much geometry with these explanations.
Interesting aside, builders here in Oz these days sometimes make layout and cutting out mistakes. Discussing this with my brother, who is a retired builder, his opinion is that the young ones did not have the thinking that we had to have back in the day. Learning our trades under the English Imperial System gave your mind a certain amount of rigour with measurements and geometry. Now that Oz is metric and probably the many electronic gadgets as well, tradies don't have to think as much, hence the simple mistakes they seem to make.

Good job, Bob. Makes carrying sheet goods so much easier. Cheers :)

Useful little project Bob 🛠👍😊

[@whitedoggarage]

Thanks Sparky

13:00 the bender makes it look easy

[@whitedoggarage]

Yes it does. Don't know why I never made one or bought one years ago.

Gidday Bob, looks bloody handy, came up mint after a coat of paint too aye!

[@whitedoggarage]

Thanks Rob, coat of paint solves so many problems I think. Not sure I could come at painting my face though :--)))

I'm not a welder, it looks like most of the project could be done with a metal saw, drill press and assembled with nuts and bolts, with the exception of that angle ) :

[@whitedoggarage]

Yes it could, and you could not use the half angle, just go for an overlap and put a bolt thorugh to hold it.
