@Jan Schlossar it's for an off-road vehicle, it doesn't have to be spot-on perfect. these wheels aren't going to be balanced or anything like that. when guys started making their own bead-lock rims no one was worried about the wheels being perfect or balancing the tires. the aren't going to be spinning as fast as highway tires are.

@@malacungpapuyu1987 hi

Did everyone miss the huge lathe in the background? Content was awesome but not necessary

BTJ, excellent comment. He is a genius. I Love watching his work.

@@davepelfrey3958 I agree. It just makes my day when his video comes up. He is fantastic to watch.....And he makes it look so simple.

@@bobf12 , that is a fact.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but this has been done for decades and jig he built would be suited to some car mechanics place at 80¨s-90's to widen the rims for local teens for road use. Usually its done in non commercial setting with car jacked up from one side, attach the rim, clean up the area with a rag for most of the crap, angle grind while car is on 1-2 gear depending on ratio and rim diameter for desired speed since rim diameter=distance per revolution, engine rpm devided by gear ratio times two i believe since all power is going to one side of the differential. Cut the rim, round the flat bar or sheet of steel, weld it in place while car is lifted up on front and buddy can adjust the speed from other side via differential, clean the worst of the welds a bit if you can bothered, trow into balancing machine. If its way unbalanced just grind little from one side to counter balance, paint it, check the balance if bothered, mount the tire and see what ever it hold the air. If not trow more paint at it, unless there is hole so big you can see to other side, witch point go check your eye sight at doctor, grind the paint off from that spot, trow little "Kemppi glue" at the problem, if there is any paint left it will burn out, smooth it out and repeat the balancing and painting portion. Weld is there to hold it on one peace and paint fills any air holes there might be. His method would work for actual car rims in road use, while described teen method would be more suited to UTV, since its does not matter much if rim snaps in half in crawling speeds, but on the highway its different matter. Way he did it was over engineered, but then again who knows, maybe he will be making more of these widened rims so it makes sense to have proper jig for mass production.

Hellsong89 cool.

Why is there a line through the a+ lol

I love low tech stuff. Angle grinder and a welder is everything you need in workshop really. 😀

Two rollers is the most universal solution - fits all diameter rims.

What!? And deprive us seeing him build one?

Useless. He knows a guy when it's needed for big parts.

I have a self made blast cabinet and a 3 Zyl. kompressor with a 1000 liter Tank, but it is in Germany

They better!!! :D

Your crazy good Donn I really enjoy your videos you've taught me tons of stuff thanx much!!!

You could use a wiper motor abd an arduino to build an auto feed. Also modify the jig with a arm to keep the grinder stationary to clean the welds. Your skills are the bombs. Brilliant thinking. Can't imagine if you had better fabrication tools. Thanks for the great video....

More like why buy it when you can make it.

Why make it? When you can think about it and never get around to it.

Might as well go full NC on it! Pretty much there.

@@kurtwerner4258 Not quite.

Or just bolt the rim into car, lift one corner up and let engine run on idle. For precision use strap to tie steering wheel in place. That is how its been done for decades.

I have my doubts that that would work well. For that size welder and wire, he’s looking at about 3-8” of weld per minute. Assuming it’s a 14” rim, that’s around 5-14 minutes of weld per rim. I don’t know that the engine could turn the wheel that slow. I’ve been wrong plenty of times before though.

@@whodat90 I believe you are correct, I've never seen a freewheeling car tire at idle turn that slow. the brake would have to be on all the time to get the wheel speed correct and there could still be surges related to the brake pads and/or the drum or rotor. Using an electric motor geared down with either a rubber wheel in contact with the rim or the shaft with a pulley and a belt would be the most effective and consistent way to turn the wheel for this kind of welding. the pros use a foot pedal to control motor speed as they weld.

Be pretty slow welding up 4 rims with the tig wouldn’t it? I ended welding up my rim with the stick welder even though I have a tig because I couldn’t be bothered cleaning it up probably

TIGs are for fancy work, they're not that good for on the cuff quick stuff like this. I've often found that they actually impede the process.

aserta your dead right! I pretty much only use mine for stainless and alloy

i welded cylinders for yrs all freehand.. i got so used to it i would zone out and come back in at the end of the weld.... 33 yrs welding...

@@fatbelly2438 I do that on a daily basis but not cylinders 🤣

I also needed something where I can attach the rim to while cleaning and welding it. Thus this jig.

Work harder not smarter!.... wait...

I been to Lewis and clark tech school and Missouri welding institute . I started welding at 15 and been self employed for quite awhile . You can make good money building things and selling them at a local flea market from BBQ pits to plant stands . The trick to making money is finding cheep or free steel . New steel is so high you can't make nothing off of it

It isn't going to be used at high speed, it's for an off road UTV. you were going to use it on the road I would say don't use a banded wheel but offroad at low speeds it'll be good.

@@cmotdibbler4454 - I was thinking, Maybe I wouldn't want to try those at 150 kph, but they should suffice for an ORV. The penalty for failure is to walk home and fix it; that seems OK.

@@MAGAMAN - The intended use is for a utility off-road tow vehicle. I don't think he intends to do any racing. (He has other vehicles, designed and intended for that purpose.) I agree, it is _possible_ to have a fatal accident at 10 kph, but it isn't likely, even with a total, instantaneous wheel failure.

Spoken like a bunch of people that cant weld! I will have no problem running wheels I have widened. But...I am certified welder

@@MAGAMAN i got news for you. Every company I have ever seen that widens steel wheels does this the same way. Also these would be plenty strong for on road purposes. If companies do this sort of work they more than likely state that they are for offroad use only just like all the weld on bead lock companies do. It protects them from lawsuits. However I can absolutely verify they they are strong enough for road use. At best the wheel will bend. You show me any aftermarket steel wheel and I'll show you an unbalanced steel wheel. When I was a kid I worked for a tire shop. Damn near all the aftermarket steel wheels were out of balance to some degree.
