Named “Big Tex: The Incredible Hex,” the nut is being constructed by JK Welding Company and is expected to break the previous record of largest hex nut set by a company in Slovenia, according to Andrew Sosa, who does marketing and social media for JK Welding.
quote:
The nut will be on display at Patriot Bolt and Fasteners in Humble.
Sosa said the size of the nut will be 16 feet from flat side to flat standing, and 18 feet from point to point.
“It consists of steel with the outer sides being built with 10-gauge steel and the threads created of 14-gauge,” Sosa said. “Just the threads alone, it took 30 sheets of 14-gauge. The weight of this is 4,400 lbs. The amount of steel is unknown at the moment.”

JK Welding, known for its out-of-the-box projects and artistic ventures, took on the challenge with gusto. Over six weeks and more than 450 man-hours of labor, the team meticulously crafted every detail, ensuring not just size but structural integrity and functionality. The hex nut, weighing a staggering 8,500 pounds, is not merely ornamental; it’s a testament to the team’s engineering prowess, designed to be functional if a bolt of matching size ever comes into play.

Texas governor has the biggest nuts for sure, especially when compared to the Louisiana governor.

That cost a fair amount of money. Of course it is advertising. Working right now on the Rant.
