SEA CONTAINER
Introduction: SEA CONTAINER
Hello, in this project I show you how to make
my SEA CONTAINER. First of all, I apologize for my lack of words, I still have to learn a lot. My mother tongue is not English and I am still learning. Thanks to all of you who are correcting me and helping me to learn. If you see any error, do not hesitate to correct me. If you like the video please Subscribe to my Youtube Channel.
Step 1: HOW TO CREATE a CLOSET IMITATING a MARINE CONTAINER
In this post we are going to see and follow the steps that we must take into account in order to create a maritime container closet. In this project almost all the materials that I am going to use are recycled.
The materials are as follows:
⦁ 60mm x 60mm structural tube
⦁ 50mm x 50mm x 2mm tube
⦁ Galvanized folded sheet (Galvanized sheet is not appropriate) but it was what I had
⦁ 20mm round tube
⦁ 3mm black iron plate
⦁ Laminate board Tools:
⦁ Invert and Tig welding machine
⦁ Radial ⦁ Metal band saw
⦁ Drill The machines and materials that I have used can always be adapted to what one has and adjust the measurements to what one needs.
Step 2: WE BEGIN:
⦁ The first thing I did was clean the tubes and remove all the paint.
Step 3:
Once we have the tubes clean, we begin to cut giving them the same length as the width of the tube. In this case it is 60mm, so we give it that measurement. For this project we need 8 equal pieces.
Step 4:
Next, we need 16 plates to cover the sides and form a totally closed cube. I took out the plates, cutting a few more pieces from the previous ones, and cutting it at the corners (you can also remove them from a plate and it takes less work).
Step 5:
With the help of a magnet, I fix the pieces in place. First I score them, and then I already pay them with the Tig, with a contribution of stainless steel. It is not necessary that it be stainless steel but I like that the contribution is of greater resistance than the material to be welded (but these are each person's hobbies).
Step 6:
Once we have them all welded, we go on to rough them. 220
I used a thousand sheet disc with open vision.
Step 7:
In the next step, it will depend if you respect the measurements that I have used.
First, I draw a line marking the center, following with two parallel lines from each 24mm side. With that we have marked the two points that we need.
Step 8:
The next step would be to make a guide drill, then pass a 14mm crown and open the holes.
Step 9:
Once we have all the holes done, now touch a little file and remove the burrs with a deburrer. I use that of my colleague <PERSON>.
Step 10: THE STRUCTURE
Once we have the corner pieces finished. We began to cut the tubes to form the structure, with the following measures:
4 = 120 x 50 x 50
4 = 90 x 50 x 50
4 = 30 x 50 x 50
Step 11:
⦁ This is one thing you must always keep in mind: DO NOT LEAVE THE GAS TAPS OPEN!
Step 12:
That's why I have to continue working with investing (which was not what I wanted). But it was either that or having to stop and not finish the project on time.
Now it's time to start forming the structure. First we form a rectangular frame, putting one of the cubes in each corner (take into account putting the holes outwards). As always, first of all, we point and check that everything is square. Once everything checked, we went on to weld.
Step 13:
Once we have the frame formed, we make a copy exactly the same.
Step 14:
We already have two exactly the same frames. At this moment you will realize that you are doing something really impressive, since it is at this point where the form begins to be seen.
We began to give height to our furniture. We are going to place the tubes that we have left, one in each corner, giving them a small welding point and being able to distribute them all. Once presented, we place the frame that remains on top of us and we also dot it. We recheck all the squads (this point is critical, we have to make it perfect since it would be difficult to correct it later). Once everything has been reviewed, we go on to weld. 220
