    Hi Captain. Your ability to adapt and learn as you go is great but even greater is you bringing us along on the journey. Your humor and dialogue with us as viewers always puts a smile on my face a makes me chuckle. That’s why I always look forward to seeing your videos. Thanks for being the dad and family man you are.

    I was blessed to grow up with parents that had multiple businesses. I was running torches by the age of 8 and stick welding by 10. My weld and torch cuts at that age looked just like the stuff entry level college students do in their early 20s. Don't worry about how things look right now so long as they work. Getting better will come with experience and time. You are doing just fine :)

    Welds are getting much more dime like and the fabrication is solid. Weld penetration is the key. Continuous welds are stronger due to the minimizing of porosity and contamination.

    • @CaptainKleeman

      Thank you Sean! Starting to get a little more comfortable with the weld patterns and maintaining the puddle

  • @SHarris64
    @SHarris64 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great ideas for a road drag. If you get a piece of material the same height as you need the torch it eliminates the jerky up and down motion and you can concentrate on cutting speed. I watch a channel called I C Weld, that guy is a master!! Lots of great tips and tricks if you watch what he does.
    Keep up the great videos!
    I have a JD400 with a Brantly 420 loader that I’m resurrecting, hopefully more videos to come.

  • @andreweisan9613

    looks good but I would weld a chain to attach those pins to the drag so you can't lose them

  • @danielpullum1907
    @danielpullum1907 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Some folk drill a hole when they want to do a plunge cut, it just gives the flame flow-thru.
    I would fasten a piece of chain to each "lock-handle" so they don't get lost.

    If you put your weld on the side you want to pull it , it will help with your clamping ! Welds pull towards the side you weld it ! Put a piece of sheet steel on the ground to catch the slag ! Slag on gravel , stone , cement can explode ! You're doing Great !!

    Great job! There's nothing like O.J.T.! When I started farming I quickly learned there were things you could not farm without: air compressor, cutting torches, welder and 4 x 4 pickup! With my old Ford T-20 small square baler, I'd bale awhile, run to the shop and weld on it for awhile! But, I ran 20,000 bales through it and sold it for more than I paid for it. One thing about that baler: it never missed a knot! Thanks, Mike! PS: At 7 am this am, we had 1/8" of frozen rain on the ground. I could not stand up on my gravel drive. Be safe! Lee

    Two suggestions, add a piece of light chain to your pins for the scarifier so you don't lose them and get a rosebud for the torch, heats a lot better. It's a work in progress just like life. Stay safe stay warm.

    20 yrs ago I bought a tri square for cutting metal. The tri square for metal is 3times as big as for wood,a brass ruler and magnets for helping hold it place how you want it with a sliding piece that will go up against the metal for a square cut. The brass ruler sits 3/8" to 1/2" above your material your cutting and a cutting tip slides along it very easy. I think mine was around $80 when I bought it. It is one of my most used metal tools. I also bought a 4' one that came with 2 tri square magnets. Drag looks good.
