Through building their Wood Whisperer Metal Corner Brackets guild gaming dining table my version is going to be a little bit different because I have a few different requirements for one I need to have removable legs to be able to get it upstairs where our dining area is so in this video I'm going to show you the process of making removable legs using kerf mounted table leg brackets and hanger bolts [Music] this is a mock-up of the leg I've got to mock-up rails but this is my actual table leg but I highly recommend having some excess mock-up stock for the purpose of getting these curves right because it can be a little bit tricky so what are we looking at here over to aprons these can be permanently attached or simply permanently attached to these brackets hang a bolt that goes into the leg and a nut that locks it all down it would also normally have some screws that go into the aprons but I'll cover that a little bit later but.
The aprons removed you can see that the bracket just slides onto the hanger bolt and you can also see that I'm using Domino's here and they aren't required that not really adding much in the way of strength but they are really good for a line before actually assembling the whole thing I don't have a dowel drilling jig so to drill the endgrain along I present more trouble than using Domino's for me so if you do want to pair some sort of alignment system dowels are just fine so the first step is just to make your leg the correct dimensions width and length then you need to make a flat area here so that we can drill the hole for the hanger bolt now I did this using the router table using a 45 degree chamfer bit because it's every bit that I've got is a quarter inch shank I did this in two passes if you got a half inch shank a cappella building one one thing to pay attention to is the width of the chamfer.
It doesn't have to be particularly large depending on Metal Corner Brackets the thickness of your leg thickness of your apron and your apron position if we plug in the apron like so you can see there's actually a fair bit of reveal here that's a design decision to add some decorative panels to my table you see there then the reveal is only a few millimeters which is the design we're after this is a decorative panel that hides away the accessory rail if you don't want to have such a large reveal but you're still peeping the same length thickness and apron thickness you will need to have a larger chamfer you can use a larger chance a bit or depending on the design of your leg you may be able to just rip the whole thing with your table saw and if you heard through that you may need to build some sort of jig sort of straddles the leg and user rather to just route away that flat section.
The shape of the finish component and the material of Metal Corner Brackets from which is manufactured can be a very limiting factor when it comes to the method you're going to use to produce it casting that role to a specific shape are surging it from hot billets are just two examples where the function of the performance of the component almost dictates the production technique cost is to some extent of secondary importance but there are many components which can be made easily and cheaply from sheet metal significant parts the basic appliances like washing machines produce radiators anything running from tin cans to methyl bombs all to be made by press working.The person process hasn't been perfected a lot of these things will be extremely.Difficult to make and extremely expensive objects the different presses are uniform and highly accurate each piece identical to the one before it and the one after it's a technique which gives production engineers a great deal of flexibility and it's ideal for mass production very large finishes are smooth the pressing can have considerable strength and rigidity and you don't waste too much raw material most press operations demand specific tooling tuning up is an expensive operation you can only do it if you're going to produce enormous quantities of a particular object when.I was popular level when it comes to pressing is mild steel it's still fairly cheap and so far.Seems to have the edge on that in the yellow and plastics except for certain specialized functions in this program we are looking at the pressing opportunities offered by mild steel but the techniques applied to other materials as well the key to successful press working lies in the press tools themselves this is a simple turning setup the top half of the tool is called a punch at the base first the bolster which supports the die this will reflect the shape of the pressing and it's usually made from a hard wearing material like a hardened alloy steel the other half of the tool the punch is more usually downwards to punch out the component from the metal strip the punch in this case is attached to the realm of the press by the punch plate.Holder the cutting out of Metal Corner Brackets the metal tape from the strip is called blanking the strip is brought in those cold coil it's a convenient way of providing a large quantity of material in the smallest possible package the strip is passed through a set of straightening rows to the simple selection power press which pushes out a series of circular breaks ranking we that one at a time from a single piece of strip would be wasteful and on economic so they'd increase the width of the strip by one huh and so double the number of blanks obtained from a given area the holding a garrote of a blanking layered and hence the layout of the die is to secure the maximum number of events.
Now make these all in-house and then later come from Metal corner brackets galvanized steel so that was one of the customer requests they said do you do all areas of the resistant version and now we do so we're keeping the price for it the same we're still going to offer their popular powder paint but I can Brown versions.They can be slightly more expensive they roll a little bit more labor and the whole galvanized range we would actually lower the price and hold the price the next year even though steel prices are rising we want to keep so this is the rear view of sneakers I just see in your flowerbed if you are going to use them for single tear edging like this so place this is a joint on the sleeper this gets banged into the ground ideally on use a rubber mallet or a block of wood on top of this you don't damage all the top and simply screwed into the back of the sleeper.
So that's a straight jointer and then we offer a corner 90-degree bracket so again banged into the ground screwed onto the back of the sleeper we do two tier versions which double defy it also do two tier versions of this this model double defy it we also do corner brackets which don't go into the ground and again they're all going to be in Metal corner brackets galvanized steel 2019 as you can see the holes are quite large seven point six millimeters this allows you to use two thick heavy-duty sleeper screws if you wish.
