after done making my dp stand i started to build this four leaf steel window to replace the wire mesh that i barricade in our roughly finished house..

granting the request of my wife..asikasuhin ko naman daw ang bahay:p

materials:

3 full length Z bar (sub standard) can't find the thickness of my choice:mad:
3 9mm square bar
1 I beam /bar
1 T bar
4 pairs of hinges and 2 pairs of window locks

here is the main component of my build..the frame..it took me a couple of hours to build this flimsy frame..too thin every time i apply some spot welds the metal warped and started to move off to 90 degree angle..:mad:

Re: steel window

then cutting full length I beam for the cross member..
sir rosy i believe that this is the material you use in your current project (saw horses)

[IMG][/IMG]

change position..i flipped the metal stock..the machine having difficulty cutting through this I beam..ganito pala dapat..

[IMG][/IMG]

after cutting the metal i have to trim each end of I beam like shown in the pic..

[IMG][/IMG]

to create a good weld joint..

[IMG][/IMG]

medyo matigas na ang frame but still shaky..

[IMG][/IMG]

then simultaneously cutting 9mm square bar..for speedy and accurate chopping process..

Re: steel window

then one by one i started to weld the square bar horizontal to the frame..

[IMG][/IMG]

[IMG][/IMG]

layu layo ang pag lalatag ko ng square bar..i have a feeling that the frame will distort pag sunod sunod ang gagawin kong weld sa square bar..

Re: steel window

haha..no effect ang diskarte ko..notice the curve..

[IMG][/IMG]

i came up with a solution by putting wooden blocks in each corner then applied some pressure by my own body weight..

[IMG][/IMG]

yan diretso na..

[IMG][/IMG]

bintana naman..gamit na gamit ang grinder dito..

Re: steel window

i marked the center of the I beam with chalk..this will help me to align the window in the frame.

Kung minsan bro pag na encounter ko na medyo hirap ang blade nilalagyan ko ng kahoy ( 2" x 2" or appropriate size ) sa me fence para medyo pa gilid ang pasok ng blade.

Yes bugel, you are right, that is the same material I used for the metal saw horse project, its a T-Bar, usually used for steel window casements. I just made use of those excess material from the steel casement window projects made in 2008, sayang kasi, kinakalawang na lang sa garahe. 😮

Re: steel window

@ sir jay..thanks sa tip..napansin ko lang pag sa malapad na kumakagat yung blade
Nahihirapan ng kainin yung bakal..napapansin ko yun pag wala ng spark na lumalabas.

@ sir rosy t-bar pala kala ko i beam..hehehe yun kasi ang sabi sa hardware eh..
