I've been a mechanic for 60 years and I'm the first to admit I'm not a good welder but my worst looks better than anything shown here. Absolutely amazing the shit people do to their vehicles. Quite scary knowing these things are out on the road with us!
Where are all these amateur welders coming from? Are these like dropouts from Lincoln Tech or something? Is this like an offshoot of that, "Forged in Fire" home knife/sword making hobby?🤷🏽♂️🗡
The Astrovan with the welded idler arm and no front shocks, and the trailer coupler that was unwelded are two of the scariest stories on here. We all know that they continued to drive or tow with all those problems. Really gotta love the Chia Pet welds on the exhaust pipes on so many of the cars!
Sometimes you have to decline working on the customer's vehicle if there is more risk than benefit. Where I live, I've seen Buick Lucernes with low kilometres that look great sitting on the ground. But once they are up on the hoist, I can tell it's rusted out and ready for the boneyard.
@@HighSierra1500 I've done the same on 'small' electrical and plumbing 'handy man' jobs in old homes in my area. Don't want to be the last person who touched it.
that cracked wheel is probably the best welding work done on any of these clips, though I'm sure that would have been fun to try to balance to say the least.
In the US, it's also illegal to use a welded rim. The weld creates a weak area that will be prone to breaking, causing it to be unsafe. Other than that, I completely agree about the welding job done on it.
That's presumably an aluminum wheel (I hope it's not magnesium!) and while the usual alloy for wheels is weldable, you have to heat treat the part after welding to get decent strength in the welded area and heat-affected zone. Of course, that wasn't done on that wheel which is why it's a really dangerous item.
Yeah...out of all of these, that one seems like maybe it was the easiest to fix. They probably spent more on JB-Weld than if they'd just replaced the filter.
@@Batmann_ that was 100% my thought, filters are not that expensive and hell with how clean that filter looked you could probably have just returned it as defective and gotten a new one for free
It must be really hard dealing with the issues that your salty roads cause there. I'm lucky that here in Australia we dont have that problem. though you still get those that get their cars stuck on the beach and wind up with saltwater damage, but they are few and far between.
It is a code name for "i did it myself", it is more inteligent version of "some other shop did it".

"The shop/technician refused to work on it." Best decision ever. In many businesses the quality of the customers is as important as the quality of the work which keeps them coming back when something else needs fixing. Good work for good customers will often bring in more 'good' customers: The power of "word-of-mouth" advertising is often seriously underestimated.
I think what's most impressive about the massive weld jobs done poorly, is that they are done consistently poorly, indicating that not only did that person have absolutely no idea what they were doing, but that they spent hours (tens of hours?) welding and learned absolutely nothing that entire time.
That's the impression I got. We can all start off with the wrong settings for a job but you're supposed to dial in so the process works. Everything I'm seeing here they just forged on.
These mechanics are far braver than I am; I wouldn't want to be underneath most of these vehicles as they look like they could just break apart at any moment!! The phrase "Just enough knowledge too be dangerous" applies to pretty much everything here!!
Man as an amateur working on my mustang, seeing this makes me feel real good about my welds. I thought mine were bad but these are on another level. Even had to replace the rear frame rails with custom one.
As a long time welder, can confirm. I had some real hilarious repairs brought into my shops to be fixed right after some of these guys got at them. My personal favorite was a 72 Dodge Dart with a rear frame rail and leaf spring mount made from booger welded 1/2" thick diamond plate steel. The "repair" was so heavy the entire side of the car drooped and the tire was rubbing the inner fender liner. I cut out the entire trunk floor and both rails and it must have had 700lbs of steel attached. It was truly crazy. Whoever did it had to have spent HOURS doing all this stuff, especially with the welds it had. True dedication! It took like 2 minutes to cut it out since it was so poorly welded. The girl who owned it was horrified when she saw the mess.
@@09corvettezr1what blows my mind is its done the same way on every joint. youd think after the first 1st or 2nd theyd think "maybe im doing this wrong"

I genuinely don't understand how people end up welding like that. I picked up my first welder at... 11 or 12 years old. The type with the carbide gas that you had to fill up and wait for the gas to fill up and raise the catch tank. I was told what to do, and sure, it was a sh!t weld, but it wasn't anything like this. I got my first stick welder (second hand) at 15. Wasn't told how to do anything with it, welder better and better. Never popcorn. My first mig and tig rig was at 16 and while i had issues with melting through, i've never managed to make popcorn out of it. Most of my early learning was by ear. I was 21 when i went to properly learn how to weld. I never saw welds like in this video (and across the internet) from any of the other people who learnt welding in that class with me and we were 30 people in that class. So i must conclude that this is just a super power... but in the negative. You have to be special to popcorn.
give an amateur a mig welder that requires gas, but they are too tight to buy the gas or flux core wire and this is the result altho interestingly even then your welds just look like a coral sponge of everything else is ok, these welds were for sure done with no gas, no flux core wire, under current, and at a distance (I heard a welder term it "fly fishing the weld in" if you fish, its a good description. And a shame, 3 minutes of tuition and every one of these welds would be a mile neater.
Amazing but that Lincoln navigator broken before ever being delivered was one of the most amazing. The fact that people did this welding stepped back and looked at their work and decided it was good enough is just stunning.
I don’t understand how so many people can be so clueless these days with all information on any subject on the internet. We used to have to go to the library for this information and it was hard to find.
I'm no certified welder, but I have been welding equipment, rock crawlers and trailers up for 30 years with good results. We all have to learn with practice, and I didn't know what I was doing in the beginning either........that said, I cannot for the life of me understand how so many people can lay down that much wire without stopping and asking themselves, "Should I stop and try something different?" I mean, have they never seen a proper weld before?.....do they not put together that this looks NOTHING like what it should?.....Baffling!
I had never welded before and I bought a welder just for the sake of wanting to have a go. Even with no experience I have never done a weld as bad as some of those. Not even sure how it’s possible lol.
I love how the customer states 'another shop did the work / a friend did the work' they should just say ' I thought I could do better and cheaper than you but I f#cked up' 😂😂
@@gkindustrialmachine1 bad ground, too far stick out, too low setting, stop and go, no prep, etc. etc. Basically everything you can do wrong they did wrong.
Maybe whoever does those welds learned by watching those "cold weld" videos? So many questions though. How long did that take them? At any point did any of them say "these welds dont look like other welds i've seen"? Youd have to get the wire stuck and cut it off after every hit. I would get aggravated after the wire sticks ONCE.. those have to be 100s or 1000s of times.

It's a wondrous thing when you have more time than talent.
This. You could place this in a museum of modern arts and win a prize

Or "a friend "

This channel might be the most quietly terrifying channel on TH-cam. Well played.
If you live somewhere that does not require mandatory yearly safety inspections of all vehicles on the roads, then contact your politicians.
When installing a new exhaust, always make sure to use the ENTIRE spool of wire.
Then weld
@@thewubmachine840 Right? The first spool is just for surface prep.
Make sure it's at least a 10 lb spool, those 2 lb ones just don't hold.
And hold the welder at least 6" away from the steel 😂

7:25 That is pretty good aluminum mig welding if you ask me.
Fr it looks great
This was excellent!! Structural booger welds 😂🤣😂🤣 your the best!!!
Amazing but that Lincoln navigator broken before ever being delivered was one of the most amazing. The fact that people did this welding stepped back and looked at their work and decided it was good enough is just stunning.
Thank goodness we now have spray foam to handle these kinds of repairs
0:38, I wasn't ready for that.
"Here, Bubba, hold my beer while I weld this fuel line!" 🎆
LOL
Got to love those hairy FCAW welds. Like a Chia Pet.
I don’t understand how so many people can be so clueless these days with all information on any subject on the internet. We used to have to go to the library for this information and it was hard to find.
I've seen people using stop and go welding on the Internet. Done right it works. Done wrong you get what we're seeing here.
The welding on that cracked rim doesn’t look too bad! 👀
Tried fixing a fuel leak with a welder. 💥
I welded several fuel tanks in my life, but always turned off the ignition before 😉
Fascinating "repairs" you have there.
It's easy to turn on a mig welder. Pretty fireworks too.
Once in high school, we went to the modern art museum in Chicago, several of these fine exhibits should be on display there!
JB Weld dissolves in petroleum, like gasoline and oil. LOL
Every video on this channel makes me laugh out loud at least once.
They drive among us.
Greatest pro-seatbelt video ever.
No good if seat belt mountings are rusted through
I always thought I was an adequate welder... but compared to these guys, I am god!
I'm no certified welder, but I have been welding equipment, rock crawlers and trailers up for 30 years with good results. We all have to learn with practice, and I didn't know what I was doing in the beginning either........that said, I cannot for the life of me understand how so many people can lay down that much wire without stopping and asking themselves, "Should I stop and try something different?" I mean, have they never seen a proper weld before?.....do they not put together that this looks NOTHING like what it should?.....Baffling!
I had never welded before and I bought a welder just for the sake of wanting to have a go. Even with no experience I have never done a weld as bad as some of those. Not even sure how it’s possible lol.
The fuel line?! The F***ING FUEL LINE?!?!?!
I love how the customer states 'another shop did the work / a friend did the work' they should just say ' I thought I could do better and cheaper than you but I f#cked up' 😂😂
$150 Harbor freight wire feed welder ... everyone thinks they can weld now.
I bought one of those about 8 years ago, I had never welded anything prior. My first welds looked professional compared to those lol
@@Silverhornet81 yeah, those are in a different class... wire feed to high I think
Step 1 of welding is get a welder. There's a couple other steps too though.
@@gkindustrialmachine1 bad ground, too far stick out, too low setting, stop and go, no prep, etc. etc. Basically everything you can do wrong they did wrong.
Maybe whoever does those welds learned by watching those "cold weld" videos? So many questions though. How long did that take them? At any point did any of them say "these welds dont look like other welds i've seen"? Youd have to get the wire stuck and cut it off after every hit. I would get aggravated after the wire sticks ONCE.. those have to be 100s or 1000s of times.
"welded" his fuel line lmao the stupidity is off the charts. Amazing he lives to tell the tale
remember these people VOTE for your leaders
The welding seen here, makes my sh t welds look downright beautiful...😂
I don’t claim to be the best welder but I think I can do better
I've done some popcorn welds but at least mine flowed together.
I think secretly a lot of viewers are mediocre welders hoping to see very bad welds to feel better about their own work. (I do)😉
A hedgehog or porcupine exhaust system is definitely a must have on Mad Max cars.
These people need to find better "friends" that actually know how to weld 😂
People that know how to weld charge money for it. That puts a stop to things right there.
@@soaringvulturewhy would someone even have a welder if he have no clue what a welding is?
i love it when a customer comes in saying "another shop" did terrible work
Some of those exhaust welds 😲 did they try to weld without gas but not using flux core wire?
Some of it looked that way.
0:31 guy spent more money on 746 tubes of muffler cement than he would have if he just bought a new exhaust
The worst one are the cheap ones, what's the thought process behind trying to DIY fix a leak on a fuel line or a tie rod with a welder...
1:45 He put literally the whole toolbox to use to fix the problem. 😂
These people must be exhausting more time and money than it takes to have someone do it correctly.(mainly the welded exhaust clips)
Exactly. They could probably have bought new parts and bolted them on faster and more cheaply than buggering around for hours trying to weld them.
To use a quote from the movie Casino, some of these guys doing bad MIG welds could "F**k up a cup of coffee".
...when i watch these videos ..all i do is laugh....wow.....
I shudder in fear that one of these abominations might be sharing a road with me.
Mary Bonham, who developed JB Weld with her husband in the 1960s in Sulphur Springs, Texas, recently passed away. RIP to an icon.
From foam to JB weld...what's next Zip Ties
Flex tape?
Flex tape!
Zip ties stuck in a JB-welded piece of metal covered with spray foam + customer declines repairs and drives off.
Bailing twine? The farmer's favourite. Well it is here in the UK.
Duct tape ?? Super glue ?? Chewing gum ??
Just buy another oil filter!! I think he spent more money on JB Weld than what a new oil filter would be. 😂🤣🤣😂
how much does JB weld cost compared to an oil filter?
Looks like the standard 2-tube kit is about $10. They may have gone through more than one package 😀
@@Stephen-ro5jc I just went with a random big truck (assuming oil filters are bigger for bigger engines, i might be wrong), and it's around 8 for an oil filter.....
