This channel has the best metal working content I’ve come across. You’ve got the skills in your craft, you explain and demonstrate it clearly with no BS. Thank you
Ryan thank you for the super thanks man🙏💯💯💯 I really appreciate it!!! You always putting good comments on my videos and that helps show my videos to more people and it don't go unnoticed! Thanks for all the great comments and being a supporter of me and my channel!!
It is fantastic. Trev’s blog channel also great. The skills of these guys are incredible and we are so lucky they are sharing their huge knowledge.
@RyanAus I just wanted to let you know I started a Facebook group called "Be a metal fabricator" where we can post, projects, discuss fabrication methods, and showcase our skills with one another. Hope to see you in there man!
Hope to see you in there too @onomatopoeidia!
@@BeAMetalFabricator FB not for me but thanks
You are so the type of person who needs to be an instructor. Every "how to" video should be like this. I know absolutely nothing about metal fabrication, but I feel like even I might learn something here because you are so patient. I like the way you so methodically proceed through the steps and explain what you are doing and why.
Also, even though you don't have a bunch of silly graphics, loud music, or other crap (gawd, what a refreshing thing), your video production is excellent. Good lighting, framing, and editing between wide and closeups. This is like textbook examples of informative instructional video content.
Wow what a great compliment! I appreciate the kind words!! Iv said this before but it's comments like these that keep me inspired to keep creating more and better videos! Thank you for watching and thanks for the compliments!!!
🙏 keep ‘em coming. Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new.
Thanks brother!!! Will do!!
I’m a welder . Hard core . I can weld anything in the world any flavor metal there is . Power welding very heavy wall and exotic stuff . But this type of welding is art! All about the tricks . Just getting into light gauge metal working . Once you learn the tricks and patients . It’s no tax no tracks time. Make that money bro .
Hell yeah dude! @benjamincompian2562 I Appreciate your support bro. Thanks for watching and reaching out!
Dare I put in my 2 cents ??
TIG wire (generally S2), has a softer composition and has other juices and vitamins in it to promote puddle cleaning as you weld.
It is easy (easier) to planish because it is “softer “.
MIG wire is usually around S6, quite hard.
Planishing this is not fun. Grinding it isn’t fun either because it heats up and will make panels look like a Quebec highway.
Great restoration info.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Cool! Thanks for the info. I figured as much but truly I have not noticed a difference in the hardness when I use it as filler rod with the tig. Now if I mig weld it, then the weld is definitely noticeably harder! But thanks for watching and I appreciate your info
Your videos are excellent.
I am a certified SMAW welder for very heavy thick steel, I can also MIG weld.
But this sheet metal fab and TIG is a whole other ball game.
Your expalaination on how to get the heat just right with your base metal and filler rod application make me think I can TIG now (fat chance) ha ha.
Other than your great instruction and very obvious years of experience, your videos don't have annoying background music which make them a delight to view.
Tha k you I appreciate that! And sorry to disappoint you but a few of my video do have a little music 😂😂🤦🏻♂️
@@BeAMetalFabricator
I do recall one of your videos when your microphone ran out of juice.
The music was tolerable and not techno-pop.
I did learn! Thank you so much.
🇦🇺Yep I agree with the other guys, and here is my ask and it's a biggy. I absolutely loath my tig torch. I want to buy buy a foot pedal, but a large outlay for a maybe. What I am asking is can you set up a camera at the pedal and at the point of weld and split the screen just to see the correlation between the 2. And maybe a talk through the settings for the tig with the gauge you are using. A big ask of your time I know, but I think I'm not the only one that will appreciate this content. Thanks mate
yes I will try to make that happen when building the next fender! thanks for watching
Well done !
It looks like you have no problem standing on one foot and operating a foot pedal. For what it is worth I never enjoyed that dance and recently found out about a device called the Tig Button. It is a pressure sensitive switch that you mount to the torch and it regulates the amps like a pedal, but so much more comfortable, can now throw that f**king pedal in the bin. I love it. Best 250 bucks I have spent in a long time. Just my two cents in case you want to check it out. Thanks for making all these videos.
yeah I have heard the trigger is nice! personally I have never used it, I would like to try it. I'm so used to the foot peddle I don't even have to think about it anymore. I've been doing it so long I can use the peddle even laying under a car on my back😂😂
Cool job man thanks for the info bro.
Thank for watching man!
this guy is amazing.....appreciate you sharing your expertise....on to your other videos
Thanks for checking them out!!
Great stuff!
Thanks man Im glad you enjoyed it!
Great job once again.
Thank you. And thanks for watching again!!
Love the explanation on welding in one pass
Pleasure to watch and learn from your craftsmanship…..nicely done mate!
Thanks Paul! I always appreciate your comments man!
You're the MAN
Thanks bruh😎👉
Hi Tubal another amazing video dude . As I’m trying to teach myself this sort of work your my go to guy for metalwork I’ve learned a lot and now I’m learning the welding so every things good thanks for the instruction mate.
I got my fingers crossed ( and a lot of extreme hinting to the wife lol ) that Santa might bring me a welder this Christmas! Fingers crossed 🤞👍
Thanks man I know you have been watching since basically my first video and I really appreciate it! I'm glad your learning from my vids bro! That means I'm doing something right! I'm here if you have any that need answered brother! Also my fingers are crossed for you this Christmas 🤞🤞😂
Awesome same shape as my anglia will help me out when I get to it thanks
You bet! Thanks for watching!
sick work
Thank you
Hello,
How long have you been working in this profession? Your works are very impressive. You're engaged in a job that I also dream about. Unfortunately, in our country, many sheet metal processing tools you have are not available. Even if they are, they are very expensive. Buying from abroad is another dream because of the high exchange rates between currencies. I can't give up on dreaming :)
never stop dreaming brother! where you located? I have been playing with metal all my life but I have been doing it professionally for somewhere around fifteen years
@@BeAMetalFabricator I live in Turkey. There is no industry here with this level of perception. No one uses these methods. We are just like African body shops. Wanting to see what is happening all over the world and want to be able to do it, but the inadequacy that causes this and the huge size of the dollar exchange rate makes me depressed
Love your work Sir
Thank you I appreciate that! Especially coming from someone who also works on classics!💯
Appreciate it! It's a dying art.
It totally is! This is why I started my channel, I would like to teach the willing what I know and hopefully create a community of people who love this stuff enough to become great fabricators!
Thanks!
Hey man thank you so much for the super thanks!! I really appreciate it! I'm glad you got that much value out of my videos! 🙏💯💯💯
Good Video what type of tig machine are you using? Thanks
It's a Miller 180.. welds like a dream
Thank you for your clear explanation. I have a question: Is there an alternative method to get the weld seam really smooth if you would not have a shrinking disk?
Yes you can just planish it with the slapper spoon and Dolly but you would have to really pay attention and take your time to not over stretch. When you use the shrinking disk it levels everything out that might have been stretched too far or might have just been high. I would definitely recommend buying a shrinking disk if you are going to try the method I use in my videos
Thanks
How many amps are you using and what gauge metal
I have it set at 180 but I'm probably only using 65-85 amps if I had to guess. I'm using 20g steel
Your drill has a mind of its own the light keeps coming on 😅
Hahaha yeah it's probably Leo, the shop ghost he turns the office lights on and off too! But it could just be the frequency from the tig also😂
is the light on the drill turning on as you tack or was that just a reflection ?
haha yeah the tig keeps turning on the drills light. weird how that happens
Whats the settings on your machine, what size is your Tungsten???
My tungsten is 1/8" and Im at full amps on the machine but I adjust with the foot peddle
Glad I found this Chanel. I'm getting ready to start to learn some tig welding and this is some good info. Thanks!
Bad Dude .
Thank you!!!
