Everybody on youtube tries to be an expert; instead of showing the journey and letting us learn along with you. I learn much more from this style. I'm new to welding at 70
Thanks for the giggle at the Ross "Pivot" reference. I'm learning to weld at 40 and appreciated the technique tips. I normally fall asleep with most of the youtube welding.
Love your content! I Started my lathe \ woodworking journey with your 4 cuts video. Many months have gone by and I have watched almost all of your videos and always look forward to seeing the next one! Excellent work and thanks for taking the effort - it's worth it!! 👍
Hi, I don’t know what you are unhappy with, compared with my welding your project is fantastic. Keep welding and trying but don’t be so hard on yourself you are far ahead from my efforts and practice makes perfect I am told.
Always clamp down your work piece. The metal will shrink at the tack. Try smaller tacks so the work piece doesn't take as much heat and start your bead opposite of the tack. The welding and fab is fun to watch. An interesting change from your usual content.
Hats off love the colour and hope the grass grows back ok ,I've seen far worse welding in India holding buildings up so don't get to frustrated with it you need to relax and find your rhythm.
Find out when hummingbirds 1st start coming thru your area and put out your feeders early. Once you get them coming (before the neighbors), then you can keep them around.
When welding and angle like you were doing, you need to tack one side, then the other before making a final weld. Unless you clamp it with vice grips the angle will warp because of the heating and cooling of the weld as you are welding. Tacking each face of the angle first minimizes this, but not eliminates. If it has to be perfect, you heat it with a torch and bend it where you want it. Also regarding welding. If you are doing a lot of welds in one area such as a bench, you should have a fan blowing somewhere to keep from sucking up fumes all day.
@@wortheffort with a bit more experience you'll know how much, the more heat you put in the further it will pull. Also while learning try to keep your welds on the flat, uphill you need less amps and is a very strong weld, downhand needs a little more power but is a weak weld and used more for cosmetic purposes
It's very frustrating that, no matter how hard I try to align tubes and plates when welding, most of the times they bend. Lately, I don't struggle very much to try to keep everything squared, and I don't find results to be so bad, if at all. Best regards.
Grade your welding? 1) Is it going to fall apart spontaneously: No. 2) Porosity: none 3: Cleanly layered bead: As great as you'll get with flux-core gasless MIG. It is quite a painful reality that even with small tacks, your careful layout throws itself off. Maybe anticipate change like with reaction wood, and if that fails, heat it and beat it straight. Steel can be very workable at a bright red to yellow heat, and one good tack could stretch enough to become flush again without breaking if it's reeeaaallllllly hot. You Done Good
Grade your welding? "eeeeEE Ooooooo aaahhhhh!"*winces of pain* Like with Wood turning, you do it by feel, once you get comfortably set up and your settings right it is fairly simple... No porosity so that's good... If your burning through, you may be lingering on spots too long or settings too high... Practice running welds on flatstock, take your time, short welds may help you ease into it... I'm only grade one level qualification in MIG, but I have been doing stick for years :D
Eu gosto do seu canal , mas vc como profissional deveria prender essa peça numa morsa, ou usar um grmpo; tem pessoas vendo muito cuidado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video. Thanks for your hard work.
I always enjoy these style of your videos, so much. It must be a lot of work to be constantly filming. We appreciate it!
I adore your videos. I'm in the UK and your detail and explanation have encouraged me to start woodturning as a serious side business. Thank you.

My philosophy is "A grinder and paint, makes me the welder I ain't" :-)

More clamps and and a good 90 with holes to clamp to.
Sorry for your frustration, but now you know how I feel cutting dovetails:)

Nah, I'm gonna steal them away.

Both of those points were demonstrated and discussed in video.
9 bucks, Harbor Freight drill press clamp. Fantastic when using the metal table on the drill press.
I have clamps. Was being stupid.
Yep. One slip away from the emergency room. Hope you keep your hair well tied back when using the pedestal drill!
@@wortheffort I wasn't trying to be rude or disrespectful, just showing the clamp I like most when using the metal table for metal work.
Offset the piece slightly, then when you weld the opposite side it will pull true as the steel shrinks from the heat.
So guess?

When is the pen production video coming?
Giving it a week and rebranding it an art market project bc of how poorly pen turning video did. I actually lost about 90 subs on that pen video.
as the weld cools, it shrinks and warps to the side
Long hair, don't care, but that tall white hat had me super concerned. I hope that there is a funny story to that.
the welders cap? its a liner for shield
