I am amazed at your work! Is there any way, you could tell what amps are you running while commenting on the video? And thank you for those videos, keep them coming! 🤘
I used to own a fairly efficient fabrication shop, we did quite a bit of stainless work, never considered even trying one of these so my hat is off to you! I did like some of your tricks
Hey man I admire your work I work doing sink fabrication in a big shop and your work it’s as good as we do with all the equipment we have, you just inspired me to start my side hustle in my garage!!!
That’s pretty cool to hear Mike! I don’t do a lot of side work but you might look into custom range hoods too. I don’t know how big a city you live in but I feel like you can get a little more profit out of them and maybe a little bigger market at least if you sell to residential too
I thought about that last night. I’m lucky enough that the little I do my job let’s meet cut stuff out at work in my off time. If I don’t work you might check out to see if your town has a maker space. You can Google go create Wichita Kansas to kind of see what I’m talking about. Or if you can create dxfs you might be able to use a cutting service from somebody locally
Thanks! You’ll have to check out Bettys when they open up. Triangle is for sale, Not sure if it’ll be open for very much longer unless somebody buys it
Damn I just got my first job doing 16 gauge SS , new to fabricating as far as SS and am having trouble . My lead doesn’t have time to come and show me unfortunately and I’m just freestlying pretty much. Had to cut out some welds and re stitch them , re square things because I chose to weld things uphill that pulled it opposite , a lot of stuff I don’t know but I make progress daily ..
Just getting into building tubs for a new customer. Welding only the outside, any idea on how to blend in the bleed through that comes in through the corners? Passivation isn't working on inside, just the outside.
Are you using square corners? I would recommend using at least 16ga and a full lap if only welding the outside and the outside is not shown. When welding the outside clamp an aluminum angle tight in the inside corner, this sucks up heat and essentially keeps a majority of oxygen away from the inside corners. If you’re using thinner material than 16ga it will be hard to prevent burn through to the inside and you may want to purge the inside corners with argon while you’re welding. This is recommendation for square corners. In this video I purge the whole inside with argon through a hose coming up through the table, then purposely try and burn all the way through. Any blackness in burn through is oxidation and won’t be removed with passivation.
Thank you for the quick reply! What is the blue tape that you are using called? I never thought that a tape would be strong enough to prevent welding distortion, is that the purpose of tape?🤔
That’s just painter’s tape. I was just using that as a guide for my eyes when grinding/polishing corners….. I think I also used that in this video when welding the actual sink, that was just used to seal the argon purge on the inside while welding
The blue tape acts as a guide to get a straight line, something to grind up to. Provides a very small amount of protection. I think you’re talking about the little belt grinder, the brand name is dynafile but I think Milwaukee has one and there are others
I think you’re talking about the dynabrade dynafile. It comes in pneumatic or electric, mines electric. It essentially runs 1/4 inch and 1/2inch wide belts and has different arms with various radius
I welded pieces together to make them. You could probably have them machined. I’m not sure if anyone sells them or not….I originally tried to make a perfect positive and negative but I’m not a machinist and didn’t have access to a lathe….the ring on top (positive) that pushes down has a diameter that is about 1/4 inch smaller than the inside diameter of the bottom ring, this makes a space in the dies where the offset takes place and the crisp lines are created by the square edges of the rings. I also put a hole in the bottom die that a round piece on the top fits into for alignment purposes. It engages in the flat before pressing and matches the drain hole in the flat sheet metal
That tool is a dynafile. 24ga would not be acceptable for this process. That could be possible with an industrial stamping process but even that would be thin
Ooh that could be a big project. If you can get to the inside easily I would hammer it back out and repolish it….a lot of tanks have a jacket or second skin on them, not sure it that’s what you are referring to. In that case it is possible that the customer may not care that much to have it fixed as long as it doesn’t affect the utility of the tank…….otherwise if you can’t get to the inside you can use a large rod with a cap on the end, a heavy weight that is able to slide on the rod, you tack the rod to the surface and slide the heavy weight on the rod hitting the cap on the end to pull the dent out….you may have to repeat this process numerous times in different areas to get the shape you want. Then grind and polish. Very time consuming and thus expensive process. Thanks!
The brand name is dynafile by dynabrade. This one is electric which has good for me at home. The company is best known for their pneumatic tools which there is that option which is lighter but requires a lot of air volume. There are cheaper options from other brands which I would probably try now, Milwaukee actually makes one now that they call a bandfile
The sink is 16ga. I think the countertop is 14 but I use 16 sometimes. The brake I used on the sink is Bailiegh industrials 14ga rated 48in finger brake

On 16ga and 14ga SS I’m running 50-70 amps, just depends. I’ll try and say from now on. Thanks for the kind words
What’s the name of the tool you are using to re grain ?
Amazing workmanship!
I make hand made sinks for 20 years, still impressed by your still and hard work.
Nice tutorial. We always brought the sinks when I was doing commercial and outdoor kitchens. I will give this a go.
Yet another great video. The narriation was really good! Please keep the fine videos coming.
Thank you for your kind words! Be sure to ring that bell if you haven’t and give the like button a love tap.
I don't know much about metal working, but I found this very interesting. Sink turned out great.
Thumbs up and thanks for posting!

Genial
hi great video, how would you grind and polish the internal corners of the sink bowl if the corners were 90 degrees instead of the 1" diameter?
In this case I would fuse the corners on the inside without using rod and wouldn’t polish it, only take the color off
You can check out the sinks with 90 degrees in the “I found this in my garage” video
Thanks I look forward to watching them
Beautiful craftsmanship. How much do you charge for a sink like this?
This was integral with the countertop so the project was around 2000
@@TheMoonlightCraftsman That's about what I'd expect for this much work. Thanks for sharing.
What grit sand belt did you use to grind the edges of the sink? Video was very intersting!! 😃
120 grit and red conditioning belt is what I like to use. Thank you my friend

How do you work out the flat patten for the sink?
Probably hard to explain in text but I’ll try and make a short to go over it.
Nick’s question on sink layout
th-cam.com/video/yoeMBjCTdT8/w-d-xo.html
Hi. Can you tell me the name of the tool that is use for finishing the rounded inside corners of the sink? And can we make this sink in 24guage SS?
That tool is a dynafile. 24ga would not be acceptable for this process. That could be possible with an industrial stamping process but even that would be thin
@@TheMoonlightCraftsman Thanks bro that is very helpful.
What is the best grade TIG rod to use
We use 316L for 304 sheet and 316 sheet where I work

One more question. Can you elaborate on the size of the Dyno file in relation to the sink and corners that need grinding?
The sink corners are 1/2 inch radius and the Dino file has different arms. This arm has a roughly 1” diameter wheel to match the sink corners
What stainless is that?
304

Merry Christmas John, you’re up early
No need weld inside 4 corners? Why?...
The sink is purged with argon and welded from the outside but getting full penetration so it’s welded completely through
@@TheMoonlightCraftsman .Without purging with argon.penetration not possible?Why purging necessary?
It will oxidize on the back side without argon purge. Necessary on full penetration Stainless welds
@@TheMoonlightCraftsman ok thanks.... Good information and nice reply... All the best👍
