Demo Boys Tricks: Dropping A Fire Escape! i’ll certainly start by saying anytime you’re going to drop anything make sure you spend a sufficient amount of time calculating the move! In this scenario, everything is getting removed and so if the floor is damaged etc. it’s not an issue. With that said we executed a couple of partial cuts in conjunction with the Fireman cut in order to control the drop of this flight of steel stairs! I hope you found this video helpful.

Demo Boys: Specialty Moving

In this video we are moving the near impossible, a 797 pound radiator! This is a very touchy move and is not to be taken lightly. We enlist the Zonzini Skipper to perform this move. We selected the skipper due to the overall length of the radiator. In addition we are also using our Thora Fabrication gantry crane. The move took one hour and 30 minutes in total and went smoothly. This radiator is being transported to be restored and will go back to the spot it came from so stay tuned for the return move!

Demo Boys Tip: Wedges

When removing countertops that will be salvaged it is important do do do slowly. We use a series of wedges or shims to gently and evenly apply upward pressure to the tops until the adhesive is overcome. Once the adhesive bond is broken, the tops are free and loose and we can move them to their next home.

Demo Boys Tip: Modify your tools for your needs

We have a project in which we need to make a clean cut through structural steel flush with the face of a stud wall. To do this we modified a Hilti SPX Metal Cutting Blade. Because this blade is not designed for flush cutting we modified the blade to fit onto the Core Cut C16 flush cut fl**ge. The modification went well and the blade performed as needed.

Demo Boys Tutorial: Plugging Old Tub Filler Holes

The Scope: Swap out a claw foot tub for a soaker tub
The Catch: The old tub filler left holes in the tile
The Solution: Create tile plugs

We were invited to be a part of a tub swap project in which a clawfoot tube was being swapped out for a soaker tub. When we removed the existing faucet we were confronted with the challenge of hiding the holes. To do this we made plugs from tile that will be under the tub. We cored out plugs. Then we rounded out the faucet holes. the plugs will be grouted into the holes and they will be nearly invisible!
