Thanks again for watching! I feel like I can better justify the extra effort in these projects if it helps other people out with a couple tips and tricks.

Ha! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!

Haha, It's a worthwhile skill! Thanks!

Yeah I think I used both medium and hard silver solder. Requires a "type B" flux though. I liked the black flux more.

Glad you liked it! I couldn't live without mine, it's my go-to place for dealing with all the finicky small stuff!

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Thank you! I appreciate it. It's definitely some slow growth, but I haven't pushed very hard on social media to promote it. I'm still trying to get better/faster at the video editing while balancing the day job. Cheers!

Glad I'm not alone! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Bob!

I appreciate you watching anyways! I'm a real welder but a hobby video editor lol.

Wow, time flies! It does not feel like that video was that long ago. I'll definitely add it to my list of videos to make though.

Thanks for watching! It's probably because my social media game is non-existent, lol.

No, there are only half-drawings. They're not organized enough for anyone else to build from them.

Thanks!

Thanks! It kind of depends on the situation. Some are for clearance, some are for preference. I like the smooth look when I can get it.

At this rate, I think I'll just buy one lol

Thank you!

Thanks, man! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment! The video editing is definitely the most tedious part but I can't help myself to make it match the music lol. Funny your hat is off to me while my hat is off to you for engine rebuilding. I've never had the opportunity to learn any mechanics and am intimidated by it. Cheers!

@@PunkerBuilds Very kind of you. Engine rebuild stuff clears the mind, for me... as I'm sure metal fab does the same for you. Good luck to both of us in our journey. I've subscribed and will follow your content closely for entertainment and inspiration.

Too bad

@@PunkerBuilds So sad!

All that matters is that you're here! 👋 thanks for watching!

Can't help myself lol

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks Jared!

Thanks for watching! Honestly, the concrete is so dished (6" drop over about 10', and it pools water in the center) that the fixed casters help push it up the incline. It's definitely very annoying to turn though, lol.

That's an excellent idea! I will definitely look into that. The dust and grit are currently inescapable, and my camera can actually be run remotely! Thanks for the recommendation and for watching!

Thanks for watching!

I'm glad you like it Samuel! Thank you for the kind words, and thank you for watching!

Thanks Nick!

@@PunkerBuilds You're welcome. A really cool idea and very time-consuming execution. 👍👍👍 I admire!!! I envy your CAD design skills. You have to appreciate your brothers in Tig welding! 😁 Greetings from Poland✌

Thanks pal! Appreciate it!

That would be fun, would jump right on that if I had the room for vehicle work but I'll keep it in mind! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and the kind words! It's definitely a labor of love! Happy to share it with people who also like modifying and making their own tools, cheers!

Thanks for watching! I strongly recommend everyone give metalworking a try! 💪

Thank you, and thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm hoping to increase the amount of intermediate / expert range of fabrication content here!

Yep, ive been working in a metal fabrication shop for close to 20 years. This was a great demonstration on how to do it right. That thing will hold the building that the welder was made in!

Hey man, thanks for watching! Sure makes all the difference having a bit more efficiency in the shop, hey? Cheers!

Hi, thanks for watching! TIG definitely requires more coordination but it's really just a lot of practice and patience. We're typically taught to work up to it. I learned about good welding practices with MIG then applied that to TIG. I'm the same way, I don't want to ruin the concrete and mig spatter tends to blow little chunks of the concrete away. Main advantage to TIG is that the same machine will weld stainless, aluminum, copper, bronze, nickel and everything else. I don't think it's too difficult, but it requires patience.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question 👍🏼

Thanks Sergio! I appreciate you saying that, this one was a lot of work haha. Thanks for sticking around!

They have different applications. Both good in their own right but solidworks is amazingly powerful on the engineering side and when done correctly, will easily generate all the cut lists and drawings. Rhino has excellent surface tools and is better from an industrial design perspective. I use rhino at work almost exclusively. Mostly for 3D printing, cnc router files and occasional laser cutting.

Thanks Dylan!

Hahaha thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you! I appreciate it! I'm trying my best to find the time to make more videos!

If i made it again, i would guess around 16 hours. Maybe less.

@@PunkerBuilds wowwow thats allot of hours but very good diligent work!!

Thanks for watching! I used TIG welding with 309L filler metal. My welder is an Everlast 255ext. It's a full size, 220v welder so not really for jewellery but i make it work. There are jewellery specific welding machines though.

@@PunkerBuilds well I'm from Brazil and theses equipmentes are too expensive here, gonna try the silver welding and look how it goes, saw in the comments that it stays with a diferent color, but in the videos I can see it

Ahh ok, if you're not an experienced jewellery or welder, i wouldn't worry about the welding part just yet. Jewellery is traditionally "soldered" or "brazed" using silver solder or gold solder so that's an excellent place to start. Welding stainless steel is a whole thing with expensive equipment. Best of luck!

Hi, thanks for watching! I believe the only option for that color match is to weld the parts.

@@PunkerBuilds I was thinking about it, but I from your video, I can't figure out what are you usin and how do you do it. Cause jewelry usually have very small parts to weld

Ahh sorry, I used both methods. I used hard silver soldered with stainless steel specific fluxes on some joints but welded the band rings to make them look seamless. I am both a jeweler and a certified welder so I used my full sized 220v TIG welder. There are small jewellery welders that could do the job as well (PUK from Lampert makes good machines). I've also used a laser welder on stainless but they're extremely expensive machines.

Oh. Well, yes I believe that is very expensive, so I think, I will need to find another way

Thanks!
