DIY Welding Butt Clamps
Added 2024-11-12 21:38:34 +0000 UTCTitle says it all but I just wanted to take this opportunity to apologize: in hindsight, I could've gotten a LOT more butt jokes in there.
Hope you're all hangin' in there!

2024-11-14 18:51:46 +0000 UTCthey seem fine... until you look closely. i've never used them myself, wouldn't crank too hard on them, but... for the price... not to mention you could always return broken ones? it's tough.

2024-11-13 00:15:53 +0000 UTCIve had these things in my hand at Harbor Freight more times than I can count, and haven't got them. I've ran into situations where I could have really used them like... twice. Mentioning the mower deck though, that made me realize I could at least use them for like three different scenarios, and now that ratio of "length of time sitting on my cart to use time" is starting to look a lot more worth while. Now I just need to circle back to Inheritance Machinings video about a saw arbor, make that, buy some slitting saws, so I can make these butt clamps for free 😃
