Nice. I like the rail to carry a load further into the building. Would have been nice to see if the wall was reinforced on the other side and where the forces were transferred.

I agree with NortonDommi on the structural question about the wall.
also his bracing and mounting is wrong the brace on the bottom could have been shortened by way over half if he had extended this mounting plate up the wall as high as possible then used a simple lightweight tensioning brace on the top angled down from an higher point to near the end of the beam. This would also spread the point loading on the wall much better. the 2 strongest points on any wall no matter the construction materials are the very bottom and the very top

Oh, not another voiceless, you gotta watch the whole video to see what is going on, video.

And even after watching ALL of it, there is still ZERO actual engineering information that is presented.

A message to those who are purchasing advertising time to reach the people interested in this subject, "I only watched about ten seconds and saw absolutely no ads. Don't waste your money on videos like this."

At last. So nice to see someone else who cleans the metal before welding. Nice welding too.
