APEXISH (pt2) removable platform and stairs
A customer had a new mechanical area built and needed to upgrade the stairs to access the building. They asked for a removable platform and stairs. This adds a few extra steps but also helps speed up the installation. Making it removable also means i can build it completely in the shoppe, take it apart, makes it easier to transport, less onsite work, etc...
I left everything i could in the video so its long, thats why i just split it down the middle and used the same song....Thanks for watching!

I thought this was a welding / fabrication channel. I now realize this is an artist that welds and builds things!
Loved your Stair Template! My Dad always preached to me to “Work Smarter not Harder”
I started my own welding business because of you. Just to let you know you inspire. Still working my day job. Just started moving slow but steady. Your the man.

Hiya, I found your channel via Matts weekly update and your work with April on her saw mill. I've only watched one of your videos so far, the latest and wow, stop action has it's place and this is it, plus the inspired choice of music, slow almost melancholy parts then faster pace of music matching the action on the screen so very well. I'll subscribe when I've posted this... very well done...

These are likely the best value per dollar. I like Walter, like who doesn't, but Pferd and Metabo's M-calibur wheels are very good as well. I think the M-calibur are the absolute best but they cost like it. Sait's Zirconia wheel (the Z-tech) is quite good as well.

do you get any hassling over your beard? I have a full beard myself, well over 1 foot long, in my past I applied to welding shops & was told to leave, not allowed to fill application over having a beard, & I probably burned my bridges cussing them but many years ago. places say its a liability, & dont want me there, even mechanic garages, body shops. I found 1 that lets me work under table, I do all rust repair & replacing body panels, as needed, but I may work good part time for a few weeks & no work for a few weeks, but most places wont even consider me, I once was doing side work welding, but after a bad customer from craigslist I stopped welding. I recently decided to get back into welding just unsure if will have issues on my beard, & I have cut it off 3 times in 40 years, & last time I cut it off & started it back the next day 10 years ago, I hated the way I looked without it, but had the proverbial wild hair. time before that was 1999, for my moms funeral, as she always hounded me about it, but it stayed off 2 weeks. lol. I am hoping my gas powered machines will still be usable, as I parked them & left them close to 6 years ago sitting near edge of my woods. just cut small sapplings & tall weeds to get to 1 a couple days ago.

So the client has to paint the stairs and platform?? You could always add extra $$ for supplying the job already painted and installed. More $$ turnover and profit per job taken on. Just a thought.

So do I. The prep and painting takes longer than the measuring, cutting and welding. Love Your work JD, but fix that trailer floor, that missing board is a hazard. I would sure love some of those Fireball Tool squares but not available in the Netherland or anywhere in Europe and to expensive to have them shipped from the USA.

I'm into rock from Led Zep to Queens of but I can enjoy this music as well after all a lot of later music is based on what went before, in fact Bob Dylan told me it all does.
