The mark of a good craftsman is when he worries about the fit and finish of a part that no one else will ever see.
Amen to that!
The difference between an artisan and a businessman.
Personal piss off is those that don’t de-burr. Even if it’s hidden I do it anyway, pure and simple laziness from some.
Except for the 300K people that saw it on video
@@michaelslee4336 it's taught in school for so long its just automated😄. those who don't deburr and skip other basics usualy or always show in the rest of their work too. sloppyness or untrained, incompetence or i dont know 😄😂😎
In the middle of a build and you still take the time to show everyone something good!👍👍
Well you know, the first thing every person that looks at your finished project is going to climb underneath and look at that transmission bolt. Quit being so hard on yourself. That looks like a fine repair to me.
The devil is in the details. This is just a possibility but if that bolt holes had split while being romped on he could've been looking for a new transmission case
No doubt that the repair had to be done. And I thought the final result looked pretty damn good. I was just trying to tell him there was no reason to apologize for the final appearance.
@@philipershler420 couldn't agree more Philip, a 'fit for purpose' repair, is all that is needed!
No need to get out dial calipers to check perfect restoration the outside of the casting!
Cheers Aaron.
@@aaronyoung8028 yeah but have you met the guy? Even his dreams are perfectly laid out
Finally, someone else that know's how to use a carbide. Good vid.
if you do gunk up your carbide bit, just put it in drain cleaner and the aluminium dissolves straight off it ;) (old machinists trick)
@@troyd-motorsport9933 Ya that's what anodizers do when they de smut aluminum. Or just rub chalk on the burr as well.
Beeswax works amazing on any aluminum grinding and cutting 👍
Dip it in WD40 will help keep it clear also.
In a pinch, aluminum burns off at a lower temperature than carbide.
* Just thought of this, because I wanted to add a tip too. Let me know if it works?
Kenneth said it with fewer words than I could but it boils down to pride in one's own work. It "was" once the American NORM!

Thanks Justin! Love this new series, nice to see welding apply to actual jobs.
Im not a welder or doing any repairs like this but these welding videos are so therapeutic and relaxing.
Good looking job right there! I've tried this with building up around stainless. It really makes it a whole lot easier.
I love how you always take the time to help others learn new tricks!! Thankyou so much!
Nice Job. I enjoy your videos. Great tip using the SS bolt.
It's been a few years since I've done any TIG welding but I would do something similar.
I would use the carbide burr to remove the outer layer of metal that forms after boiling all the bubbles and contaminants out of the aluminum. When I went to weld over it again it turned out perfect and clean.
AND THIS IS WHY I AM GLUED TO THIS CHANNEL ,,, COULD THERE BE A VIDEO ON WHAT TOOLS WOULD I NEED FOR A MECHANIC TO COMPLETE HIS JOBS THAT ONE WOULD RUN INTO LIKE THREADS REPAIRS , CUTTING AND VERY LIGHT WELDING. I THINK THIS CHANNEL IS THE GREATEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow this is probably one of the most useful tips I’ve ever seen 🙏🏽 thank you so much
You provide such great material to your viewers. I appreciate all of your hard work. I truly appreciate it!
I wouldn't be able to stress enough how grateful I am for this video. I was thinking about fixing a glow plug hole (pretty much broken alike this) with this method and didn't know if would work. Now I know. Thanks a lot!
Love seeing real world repairs, having to persevere with a fked up tungsten from all the porosity and the imperfect but more than serviceable results. Cheers dude.
A LOT of new tips I have never seen before - and will now remember. Thanks - good job!!
That's awesome, wouldn't have thought that you could weld around that bolt without the aluminum fusing to it or shrinking around it to the point of damaging it. Great video!
why do you only have 300k subscribers, ur videos are awesome and i have been watching all your vids for ther past years. i think you are one of the many great teachers on youtube
Nice Job man. Always nice to know it is possible to repair a cast Aluminium motor block.
Finally a new trick from youtube I didn't already know! Thanks man!
Absolute craftsman! Matching the finish was top notch!
Gotta say love your channel and your willingness to show tips and tricks!
Always like to see people’s different techniques for welding cast.
I used to repair Transmissions for the junk yard all the time , always used that trick for the threads . Always worked good, then the yard would ship it out 😎
TFS as always your videos are always very educational. greetings from the Philippines
That was some awesome camera work on the welding pool.
Superb work, loving the video!
Lots of skill there fella.
All the best from across the pond.
That has got to be so satisfying getting something that damaged back to its original shape! Wish I could learn to do this!
Hi Justin this is Andrew. Thanks for sharing the video of that repair. Very neat trick to save the threads.
Definitely keeping this trick in my back pocket! Nice!
Dude! Amazing work. Making it look easy!
That's been a great how to for working with cast aluminium, top work.
Awesome job, Looks great after!
Beautiful work on a real job. Thanks for taking the trouble.
Thank you...
I use marker chalk on my files and grinding tools to keep the alum from building up... wire brush them. And keep adding as needed.
Very impressive. Can’t wait to get my rig up and running
Top work and several useful tips.
Great lesson. Thank you.
Thanks for showing! Did a job for a friend on his Landrover alu coolant tubings! Lots of dirt and I should have done your tip on preheating as lots of old dirt could have vapourated...... 😊👍🏻
Sweet repair Justin thanks for the short vid!!!
Great top tip 👍🏻 thanks from over the pond hope your keeping safe and well
I've done these repairs with hts-2000, works great on things under 700 degrees. I've had some fantastic results with that stuff
great video, keep them coming!
I am loving this channel! Awesome content
I welded aluminum for a year and didn’t understand the premise of the percentage and hz rate until now thanks for that little tidbit!
That technique could come in handy, Thanks!
work of art. love it.
This is awesome. Just had a repair done on some cast aluminum part on my truck and it loos awful. Congrats on such a clean job.
Great skills - nice!
Excellent job on that repair
I have to say thank you for confirming my faith in other welders in the field that have mastered this secret art form. Everything you said is bang on. I can add that using a quality ruler would help you get total flatness on all the bosses. Keep up the great work fella too.
great job i love watching your fix
Man you are good! Thanks for suring your knowledge.
looks clean as hell bro!
I hope to one day achieve the same level of control you have with a tig 🤙
I enjoy your skills! In my next life I hope to be as good as you.
Woo very good video very helpful!
Very nice, excellent in fact.
Nice Job!!
Really nice job.
That was Freaking awesome. Thanks for the vid!

Morale of the story, Good equipment + right tools makes things easy.....crap equipment and no training give up.
Thanks for video :)
Nice job! 👍🏻
Looks good!
That was great!
True professional...thanks for sharing at times like this
Nice trick! Will file that one away for future use
VERY NICE !!
outstanding!!!
That's cool! Good job dude!
Refreshing repair show
I don't have a question, just a comment. Great work!! Thanks for sharing. !
Looks good dude.
Good job man
That was awesome thankyou
Nice tip! 👍I found if you use your double cut burr in a lower speed drill. Won't clog as easy
Nice job
nice work
Nice work. The only concern I would have is ensuring that the flat face around the repaired hole is in the right place so that things still bolt up flat and square. Perhaps run a straight edge across from some of the other mounting holes to ensure that?
Great fix...
Thank you for the great tricks in this video and your time ! Question: what do you recommend in process and materials of welding anodized aluminum? I live in a nautical community and I pass on this for repairs because of a bad experience with a tower that was anodized. Thanks for all you do
An excellent result on a tough job
Nice work!👍
Very nice.
Thanks for the tip on frequency and balance. I do mobile welding on pontoon boats. They have a lot of crud. As always, great video!👍
An old mechanic friend of my grandpas showed me a pretty cool trick for carbide. Dip it in ATF before you use it. They don’t pack up as bad and it seems to help prolong their life.
Excellent job Justin, thanks for taking the time and showing us how to fix a casting. I now have 4943 filler would that work better?
Thats amazing skill
Good job
Nice quick informative.
I appreciate that you got to your point without a bunch of superfluous ranting.
Well done
