Three things... I should have referred to the hydraulic ram as an AIR hydraulic ram. yes, I'm aware you can have removable bolts in the concrete to fasten and remove the bender. Yes, some people prefer to notch with an angle grinder. Thanks and stay healthy and safe!

@@harrisonofthenorth The ram is hydraulic, and is pumped using air. Think of a jack, instead of pumping the handle up and down that action is done with air.

@@harrisonofthenorth did you read my first reply it explains it? It is a hydraulic piston. It is not a pneumatic piston. Typically hydraulics use an electric pump to pump the hydraulic fluid. This uses air to run the pump. There are also manual pumps, like a jack for instance. I hope this makes sense.

@@harrisonofthenorth hey guy I’m sorry you can’t understand. You seem to lack a basic knowledge of anything mechanical. Nothing I said was conflicting. I’m not in a corner you are in a corner where you can’t seem to see that this hydraulic cylinder uses air to drive the pump. Something powers the pump in any hydraulic system. Do you at least understand that? The air and hydraulic fluid do not mix, the air powers the pump. It could be operated by hand like the lever in a jack or an electric motor or in this case air turns the pump that pumps the hydraulic fluid. If you don’t understand that I don’t know what to tell you. I’m done wasting my time trying to explain. Google it! They sell these air/hydraulic pistons. If you spent just 10% of the time spent trying to argue with me on increasing your reading comprehension we wouldn’t still be talking about this.

I love the direction this channel is going. I haven't given a damn about anything you've posted since the beginning of the year and I've watched every video at least twice. Get 'em, Dave!

I'm a kart builder from Australia looking at a bender to make my own chassis so thanks for the overview I liked you vid.....no bullshit straight to the point. Looking forward to seeing footage at the track. Cheers John

Man, sitting here in the evening having a couple adult drinks and your helmet comes down in the middle of your speech. I think I peed a little. Keep up the great work. I love your passion

Nifty trick to keep the bends in line

Cool to see some metalworking! After watching woodworking videos for 10 years, I feel like there isn’t a lot left to learn. Not that I am great at woodworking, but in terms of videos I had all the lessons : )

Good job, Dan!!!

Good job, Dan 👍

This is awesome David. I raced karts for a number of years growing up, never made my own chassis though. It's good to see you so genuinely passionate about the new hobby and skills you're learning metalworking. Glad you're allowing us to have a glimpse and follow along. Your attitude and energy is an inspiration. Thank you

Love the video, David! I'm glad you're enjoying the go kart build. Thanks for sharing and being so open and transparent with your setup and costs.

LOVE seeing you expand into different mediums and a new hobby as the passion you have in everything you do is infectious. Looking forward to the fiberglass videos.

I built my first go-kart when I was 12 ... did all of the cutting & welding myself. I put a Suzuki motorcycle engine on it ... I had the only cart at the track with a 5-speed transmission!

Awesome stuff David! 😃👍🏻👨🏻‍🏭🏎️👊🏻 .... Nice edit Dan! 😃👍🏻🎞️✂️🎞️👊🏻

I love great content but I also love great people. With this channel I get the best of both. David you seem like a genuinely great guy. I love your enthusiasm for making and learning new things. Thank you for sharing your passion with us!

I didn’t scroll through all the comments so forgive me if someone recommended it already, back in my exhaust making days we had a 360 degree dial that clamped into the end of the pipe. Zero it for the first bend and then when you turn the pipe for compound bends you know exactly where you are in relation to zero degrees.

Ohhhh excited about the fiberglass work!!

Cool to see the process behind this!

I made a bender from scratch that mounts the dies vertically as to not take up much space and make the unit mobile. I use a standard HF jack to bend the tubes. It was originally made for late model race cars (lefthander chassis and such). Uses the same dies as what you are using. You should make a bender from scratch!! :)

Old school time from when you had to shoot your own video. 😄 I enjoy you most when your having fun, and it's pretty obvious here. Frame is looking good! Thanks for sharing!

Nice foray into metal fab. Enjoy the go cart project! Thanks for the great content.

I am not interested in metal working but I really enjoy watching you discover new hobbies and skills. Keep going!

Dan definitely made the difference.

I laughed when your welding hood fell down in the middle of your outro speech.

Top congrats from Portugal

I am very familiar with the moosh, gunk, yeugh making things seem not level. Nailed it!

Really enjoyed that vid David, you’ve inspired me to get into welding. I’m going to do my kids a jungle gym.

I didn’t know if I was going to enjoy this video, because I really haven’t had the time to practice my welding. But I will say that I really had a great time watching it! The excitement you show for your newest (and expensive) hobby in as infectious as Covid-19!! Just to keep you in the loop: last Tuesday I was able to take my first steps on my prosthetic without a cane or walker. Two days later, I was able to walk two laps around the gym. Of course, the next day, they closed the rehab hospital for at least the next 30 days. SMDH Gotta thank you for giving me motivation to keep working hard to some day - very soon - to get back out to my shop!!

Haha, how good was that weld after jumping in so quick after that piece to camera there at the end 😂? I suppose if you already knew you needed to remake the part, it wouldn't really matter if it wasn't perfect, so good production value😉 .

Great!!!

Kart frame looks nice!!!! Keep the videos coming! Been trying to find plans for one like that. Do you by chance have plans you would share or sale? Trying to make one for my son.

Cool focus bro!!!! 😂

David... It's cool to see ya in the metal shop .... Love the video ! Where's Dan 🙏

4:00 I like that tire, that's a nice tire.

There's also lower priced intermediate options with a ram similar to a bottle jack or porta-power that you hand pump.

How did you make the 2-axis bends with the tube from the waist to the front wheel spindles?

Finally get to see ya work on the cart. I don't care a lick about metal working but still liked your video, and you don't need to race to run your cart.... Hope Dan is gonna be ok there. Ohh and stuff is hot right after you cut it.. I know you knew that and were just educating us right :-)

I raced for about 5 years. The racing bug is a disease that has no cure. Drive fast, take chances.

Is that ram actually hydraulic? Like, is it using air pressure to drive a hydraulic pump when then moves the ram with hydraulic fluid? Or is it all just air pressure doing the work? Because if it's all just air pressure, then it's a pneumatic ram, not hydraulic
