I closed down my Patreon account a few months ago, so I am now making some of the exclusive, Patreon only videos available.
This is an exclusive, full featured build video (originally) for my Patrons (only) on Patreon. There was a very short “teaser video” of this subject matter released to the public, but they couldn’t access this one unless they became Patrons.
This video is about fabricating a few small (short), narrow, vertical jack stands I made for supporting my new pocket cruising sailboat I’m building. However, such stands have multiple uses and they are fairly easy and inexpensive to make yourself (providing you can cut and weld steel).
I discovered the shortened boat stands I made earlier were fine at either end of my new sailboat, but wouldn’t fit amidships where they would be in the way of the bilge keels when I go to install them. The solution? Make a pair of new jack stands that will fit in the location where they need to be. The new jack stands would have a narrow, rectangular base. They would also have to be vertical (no slant), and shorter in height. This video chronicles the entire fabrication of the new jack stands from start to finish. The design was based upon the above specifications and the materials I already had on hand. The materials used consisted of reclaimed steel, and old cut-off scraps from previous projects.
This video was previously unlisted and only available to my Patreon subscribers. I hope you enjoy the video.
If you are wondering where the continuation of the tiny house build series of videos went: We are now making plans to travel down to Seekonk, Massachusetts to pick up the new tiny house trailer. My truck is in the shop getting repairs and maintenance work done for making the trip as I type this in the video description.
Here’s the video:
