- We made a metallic frame with a stable basis to support it and we also made some holes on it in order to be able to be screwed on the spot where it will be located.

1- What sheet thickness you can weld?
2- How many welds before it must be stopped to let it cool?
You could get even higher amperage with two secondarys in parallel with one turn each and then wire those in parallel. It would lower the voltage, but with the thickness of that cable, I don't think you would loose to much more to heat.
Awesome fabrication work, well done. I have an old school spot welder from the 50's, it's an amazing machine, my son has a new one and it's already fried. This spot welder in the video is very similar to the old one I have. They work incredibly well, just don't over do it, allow time for them to cool or they will fry. Thanks for sharing that video, really well done.
Wow...the result is a robust and professional spot welder made of scrap metal. Good idea, great video!
You are a man of many talents. Stunningly creative.
Thank you! :)
@@MakeitExtreme Dude, your vids and tool making is very cool.
You deserve the title "King of Extreme" Thanks!😜
I wanna see more more more products of you.. i admire you so much! Thank you so muchhh
+thế tùng trần Thank you very much! :)
I'd like to say props to the welder! Perfect weld and very nice technique!
absolutely love it ! Well thought out practical operation. Lovely clean welds on the frames too !
Nice done my friend!
+Hassan Abu-Izmero (HABU) Thanks dude! :)
The video quality is perfect!!!
+Mike's DIY Projects & More Thanks! :)
Very Nice! I'm glad you decided to cool it as many people choose not to cool their homemade spot welders. I would consider putting a shroud around and behind the fan so that way it doesn't suck in the same air as it tries to push it but ahh what do I know i'm just some kid! Love the video!
The weld beads this man makes is so satisfying ! Love the video man keep it up
the best spot welder on youtube.
+Makers at Work Thank you so much my friend! :)
4:02 Looks like that drilling clamp was one of their first projects. ;)
lol
I don't know anything about welding machines, but I found it extremely professional. Very good!
Gotta love THAT! Mine is of very similar design, but the timer and cooling fan are the coup de gras. Will be re-configuring mine in the near future to incorporate those features. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you for demonstrating how the fan works.
damn these are the coolest videos
Thanks! :)
ya keep doing what your doing i ve been sharing your vid on facebook
Nick Urban Thank you so much!
Do you know anything about induction forges? I was wondering if you could use the microwave transformer for one of those
That would be cool. Its gotta be possible right
True professionalism is when you show it to someone else, and it looks effortless!
your channel just blew my mind away! for about a whole hour i've been watching your videos and i think i will watch all of them! You're truly a craftsman!
+Iulian Stroe Thank you very much! :)
Прекрасное видео!!! Замечательная идея! Подскажите сечение провода?
try in english
How can I buy your diy spot welding machine? It's awesome, I'm interested to have one.
People should know about the high voltage capacitor that should be discharged before randomly cutting wires. Even after it's been unplugged awhile, it can still kill you. Be safe.
+BirdsEyeView microwave oven caps have a built in resistor (parallel) to drain any "left overs"
chachavessel
True but I would never assume that... Resistors burn out sometimes and I wouldn't recommend anyone risk their life on an assumption of competency of the manufacturer.
spot welding banana walo apna whatsapp number dijiye
These guys know how to biult a spot welder. You don't think they know about high voltage capacitors.
he said "people" should know, not "these guys" should know, he's talking about people who would try and build their own, obviously.
Awesome! I saw a lot of Versions of a Spot welder Like this one. But that one is by far the best!
Great to watch a fully equipped workshop used by an expert!
6:02 for a moment I believed that wore special gloves,, instead were bare hands.. lol
What type of timer do you use? (Model no.)
Thank you very much!

Love these videos, make your own spot welder all you need is a mig welder, a lathe, a grinder, a plasma cutter power drill, power driver, pillar drill, drill bits, taps, a metal nibbler access to a metal store and your away.
very professional job my man.
if you got the skills and the tools anything can be done.. well done.
yes... do it your self... if you have all these tools!!!!!
+adrian moreyra, but most important those skills!
did you see that welding line? that's maybe 10 years of welding to get it that.
+Alin Toader yes I know... experiencie is important bit with these welder is easier to weld...
+adrian moreyra... but!!
+adrian moreyra
I made spot welder using microvawe transformer on piece of wood, no tools, when I was 16yo...
I made my own bed in wood, a pc table in metal and wood. Next step, a bike!!!
DIY spot welder.
Step one: get a welder.
+Viru Sinstall you need a welder to create a DIY Spot welder
smh
+Viru Sinstall grant thompson did one that is less awesome looking but doesn't require a welder to build
+fuckin kazars Sorry that this video was unable to hand you a welder with no effort, intellect or tooling required.
Fabrication is on the most basic level making the tools to make the tools to make the part.
+fuckin kazars This project isn't for you. It's for normal people that can figure it out. This is just how he did it. The wiring is the only necessary part, make the rest out of wood. If you need someone to hold your hand and explain how to do things differently, them you don't need a spot welder. You wouldn't know what to use it for.
+Viru Sinstall technically speaking, a spot welder is used for a certain task (usually, welding thin pieces of metal) so it's not really surprising if you need a welder to create that. you could make one of these with bolts only, even if it's a pain in the ass, take far more time to make it and it's not as strong than welded passes, but it should look good, leave some external rust and you're in post-apo setup :p
Dear Make it Extreme person, this video is fantastic! True art in construction and design!
Thanks, pierre (from New Mexico)
+pierre5325 Thank you very much pierre! :)
honestly i love your welding skills
What kind of saw is that? Seems pretty bad-ass.
+john hanrahan A spensive one. ;)
***** LOL! Ain't they all?!
How to make this without a welder and angle grinder oh yeh and plasma cutter?
+Ville QQ you mean more extreme? cast/forge? :D
Great job, I know certain tools made it easier then most workshops would have, but great job guys and hats off to it appearance... Looks the job :)
dude that's amazing, that thing is crazy cool looking, nice job man!
Awesome Project and great video but DIY my ass. You are a skilled tradesman with an entire machine shop at your disposal. Shit I can't afford an anvil not to mention a plasma cutter.
I read your comment half way thru and thought dam a few tools are he is moaning.. Few seconds later i see the massie lathe
ditto that!
+Robert Nun'ya was thinking the same thing. As cool as this is this is not diy
+Robert Nun'ya Yes this is DIY! As long as you have a welder you can make this, everything else can be done with hand tools, hacksaw, file etc. Actually you probably don't need a welder and could assemble most of it with bolts and pop rivets if you thought carefully about the design.
Yes it takes longer with hand tools, however it is possible. A grinder makes it faster. I don't have an anvil (yet) I just find other heavy or correctly sized item in my garage to bend/bash around. A true DIY person finds a way to get the job done rather than wishing they had more tools. :-)
+Robert Nun'ya www.instructables.com/howto/DIY+Spot+Welder/
diy, step one: buy all the machines that costs dream house or something ;)
PiKey YEEEUP👍 , Buy ALL THAT OTHER SHIT, SO U can save a couple of hundred $$$ @ HARBOR FREIGHT🤔 GUY had way to much time on his hands, & wanted to SHOW OFF his cool shop to the rest of us...
So now i know what to do with our old MICROWAVE that just broke, I just find somebody who's got all this cool stuff that I don't and say HERE, knock yer self out😏
Well, the screen name is extreme…😵💫
And the time alone without the editing and fast motion would buy a better one.
It was a pleasure to watch it from beginning to the end, perfect welding very professional well done
+william pihahuna Thank you very much! :)
With all that high-speed welding and heavy metal in the background, I thought I was watching "Made in Poland".
You see a lot of spot welders on TH-cam (and this is a particularly stylish one, I might add)... but I always cheer if they pull the old secondary coil out instead of cut the top off the transformer.
Nice TIG work there!
The moment he took out a welder I gave up on the diy part.
You can get an arc welder for very cheap, something like £50
yeah awesome, only what he's using is not an arc welder
and the what about the:
- Multi cutting chop saw 1:18
- Tig welder 1:25
- Bending machine 2:20
- Colomn drill 2:55
- Metal lathe 3:44
- Plasma cutter 5:28
- Metal chipper 6:01
- Anvil 6:15
1. Angle grinder
2. stick welder
3. use straight stock
4. normal drill
5. a file and a vise
6. angle grinder and cutoff wheel
7. angle grinder or sheet metal shears
8. a chunk o steel
WuTangcl you don't need a mig or a tig welder to weld properly
WuTangcl 1:25 Is not a tig welder 😂😂 it is a MIG welder, its completely different
Yeah I'll just get right on that and buy a welder, pipe bender, microwave oven, 2 gage wire and variety of other equipment and make me a spot welder! Or maybe I should just spend a hundred bucks or so, and buy a ready made one that I know is going to work without all the hassle.
Beobout6 at lease, we know why those ready made is not cheap.
And then use it to make a.....a fuck it, skip the spot welder, just buy whatever you were going to make in the first place. Way easier. More your speed, too
All what i wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH about all this ideas 💡 and this formations really APPRECIATE
Really a great job and i have respect for your hardwork
CLICK BAIT!! This is NOT DIY, try title: "Building spot welder WITH Pro tools"
A DIY doesn't consist of owning Pro power tools like:
- Multi cutting chop saw 1:18
- Tig welder 1:25
- Bending machine 2:20
- Colomn drill 2:55
- Metal lathe 3:44
- Plasma cutter 5:28
- Metal nibler 6:01
- Anvil 6:15
1:18 can be done with a Hacksaw, you wouldnt even need to use material as large as they did.
1:25 isnt a TIG, its a MIG. That aside, you can do that with an MMA Arc Welder too, its just a bit more cleanup.
2:20 instead you could V-notch it at the point you want to bend it and weld the gap, not a smooth round bend, but a sharp bend, still gets the job done.
2:55 Sure a Drillpress is nice and all, but i cant count how many holes ive drilled with a normal battery drill because it was easier/quicker than running back to said drill press with some heavy piece of steel. Center punch or cross notch it, hold the drill steady and apply not to much pressure.
3:44 Slam it in your drills chuck, and go to town on some file or sandpaper, easy way to get a taper, or just buy two pt-31 plasma electrodes from a hardware store, their like 25 cents a piece and you would even end up with an easy to replace consumable.
5:28 The Plasma Cutter wasnt necessary if they would have planed for that foot pedal, so you could corner drill and hacksaw that easily.
6:01 Tinsnips, sheet metal scissors, heck even one of those scissors for chickens and turkey would be able to cut that stuff.
6:15 a brick would be enough.
Just some examples, you dont always need the tools you see people using, quiet often their just the more easy or convenient way of doing it. Ive bought a lot of tools in the past thinking i would need specific tools to get something done.
dude. that was a lot of work just to make up a new definition for DIY. he made it. It's DIY.
Mate you no nothing about tools do you. He designed and built it himself didn’t he? That’s DYI. Just because he used quality tools does not make it any less DYI it just makes it easier, faster and a better quality result. He could build the same thing with a hacksaw and stick welder but it would not look as good and would take a lot longer. What I can’t believe is that you took the time to go back through the video and write down at what time all those tools were used just so you could write a complaint. Why don’t you use all that time to go and make something and put it on TH-cam and show us all how good YOU are. Sorry mate but people like you are such fucking losers in my book. 🇦🇺
Hell, if you can afford a shop equipped like that, just go buy a fuckin' spot welder! ... DUH!
if you have the knowledge to do something, why not do it yourself? if he had simply just bought a welder, this video would not exist.
if you watch the videos almost all equipment in his shop was built by him. besides all poor bastards like me like to see how to make something useful from nothing.
I just like learning how other people address the same kinds of challenges in their projects, as I do in mine. No matter what you're building, you've got parts that move and parts that don't. They all have to fasten, slide, hinge, rotate etc, with respect to each other. One guy's spot welder could be another guy's banana straightener. They could share the same hinge or seal or cooling scheme design. Thanks - Lumpy
These are guys !! Professionals. Perfect video.
Excelente trabajo, quedé fascinado!!!!
Perfect, I find your project very useful for the DIYers.
I would really love to know about few of your tools you have used in this video.
Please take my money.
I just started watching your videos yesterday and I am already addicted to your page.
Great build as always!
+Scrap wood City Thanks man! :)
Reading through some of the comments on the "DIY" bit. Ok so maybe not so DIY, you need a few (very nice tools btw) to build this. But SERIOUSLY your fabrication skills are just fantastic - not to mention those awesome welds! Keen to see more of your projects. Keep up the good work!
Wish I could work this fast! Nice one!
Мужик, большой жырный лайк тебе! Молодец! Я первый раз вижу чтоб так умело и качественно делали самодельные приборы и инструменты!
One of the best craftsmanship I saw on ytube. Great job man.Respect!
+kaovi1978 Thank you so much! :)
Not exactly sure this is DIY for most people - I would love to have the tools this guy has! :D Very nice job on that welder! Thanks for making the vid!
beautiful workmanship! Nice video!
Felicitaciones. Un trabajo muy prolijo y funcional. Muy bien terminada. -
Gracias por su video . trabajo más que excelente saludos cordiales desde Chaco Argentina
Even Your Shoes Are Used!!!!! Love It.
Parabéns vc é muito inteligente, e tem ótimas ferramentas.
So much better than previous ones I've seen on TH-cam. Great work!
+Live Free and DIY Thank you! :)
Awesome build! Your projects are getting better every time.
+Fabien Chouteau Thank you! :)
Ottimo lavoro! Come tutti gli altri.
OMG a good DIY welder. This must be a Miracle.
Congratulations, very professional machine.
Perfect tune for this build.. Awesome job!!
+carzanian Thank you! :)
Truth tih is not even 1% DIY build, you made awsome machine - in fact one of best I saw. I like the most how you made pedal :) Cheers and thaks !
Awesome job man!!!
+Giaco Whatever Thanks my friend! :)
you guys rock just found ya.. cant wait to learn and build... thanks a bunch
that is one hell of a beatiful weld
Amazing job, i liked the professional look of the finished machine
+Jeronimo Murruni Thank you!
This is the first video i'v seen on this channel, but the craftsmanship was surprisingly impressive for TH-cam aside from the sword forging channels.
holy crap, welding master level achieved!!
Perfect work!
!!! SERIE D'ACTION PROFESSIONELES VRAIMENT BRAVO !!
Man, that is awesome work!
Great video and really insane build! You also have the manliest hands on TH-cam.
+ten square metres Thank you! :)
Brother your projects are more than great....!!!
Thank you! :)
This one is more educative . Good job, bigup
Totally awesome!!! Can't wait for more videos!!!
Fiz a solda ponto e funcionou, grato...
I did the soldering point and worked grateful
Thanks for the well done video. You show the details of how to rig the transformer for the electrical part of the circuit, but near the end you show electrical controls that suggest the welding current time duration can be varied. What electronic components are used for this feature? Also, you show that a light is used to determine when the apparatus is fully charged, suggesting that capacitor storage is used. We didn't see the details on this part of the electronic circuit. Finally, do you think one of those new, efficient super-capacitors could be used in such a spot welding apparatus? Thanks.
Run for president. You 've got my vote. Fantastic project great video like always
+John Hajiandreou Thank you very much! :)
..awesome video...noticed that both secondary leads run through pieces of steel tube and throughout holes in steel plates. Also the electrodes are mounted within fully enclosed steel rings. That will give 6 one-turn selfinductions. If all fully enclosed one turn selfinductions are cut lenghtwise
(In the direction of the current) a hacksawblade thick cut will do, the selfinduction effect then has gone, giving at least about 120 amps more current in the secondary circuit. The weld-on-time then can be lowered which will result in a better weld. (Same heat generated in less time= better weld).
Excelente video, excelente idea, da gusto el manejo de los equipos y herramientas.Espectacular idea de reciclaje del horno de microondas. ¡Los Felicito!
+Jose Antonio Fernandez V gracias por sus buenos comentarios
