The Symphony no. 9 in C major, D. 944, is the last symphony completed by Franz Schubert. It is usually called 'The Great' to distinguish it from the 'Little' Symphony no. 6 in C major. It is largely believed that the no. 9 Symphony was written in 1825. Composition: Public Domain. Recording: European Archive Creative Commons 3.0; Public Domain. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
This is why I like wood working. The material is already a warped mess before you start work. Keeps the expectations low.
FACK.
@@--Nath-- you could not be more wrong.
I work as a metal fabricator.
Last week I was carpentering and got a 3 inch splinter in the side of my palm. Right to the center of my hand.
Most of it is still in there.
Never seen a 3 inch metal sliver in my hand.
Wood brings infection.
I would see a doctor but without insurance this would be a bankrupting experience.
Perfectly said!
The stuff I keep buying from the local home despot is self warping. If you get a bad one and it starts out straight, just give it a couple of weeks.
Especially the lumber for the Homie Depot
It's not just good, it's good enough.
For the girls I go with
If it is any more than barely good enough, you spent too much money upon it.
this is why I use my prototypes
That's why my company is called Good'nuf Construction!
this needs to be a sticker for a work pals' toolbox ! -

I like the way you've shot right past "distressed" and gone straight for the "salvaged from a shipwreck" motif.

Does not matter if it has rust, as long as a touch, does not turn it to dust
I laughed at this comment 😆
"If it works the first time it's 'cause you already done it."
That belongs on the next run of shwag.
Shwag is slang for bad marijuana. SWAG is stuff we all get. I guess it fits either way.
@@bastarddoggy Believe it or not I know this, now...was I aware I made this mistake? Absolutely not. I blame the devil's lettuce.

Whoa there, Gentlemen..
Please, be careful when throwing that "work" word around..

I am almost never impressed by your welding prowess - and this is no exception - love your videos and appreciate you sincerely
Uncle Bumblefuck is at least a good a welder as I am. 😁
By which I mean I can stick shit together with molten metal, most of the time. 🤣
Well, I guess UB has been called (and called himself) a lot of things, and welder is definitely not one of those things. So nonimpressedness over the welds should not be impressive.
Better than what I can do.
I've akwats been quite whelmed by his welding.
They use that specific shielding gas in welding because whenever you want to weld you find that it's Ar-gone.
What's a pirate's favorite noble gas?
@@Fix_It_Again_Tony Aaarrrrrrrrr-gon
“Is that crooked?”
“No, it’s just so long that the curvature of the earth makes it look that way.”
Eminently applicable.
It never fails that I get it all tacked up perfectly square and then get carried away with welding, warping it into a lopsided pretzel instead of a frame.
Yes
@@griffgoldstein6378 I've made a perfect arch 8ft long, 4ft on one end and 2ft on the other using only a soapstone and square.
I do all my best curved gate tops with magnetic 90's and framing squares as well! Small world! 🤣
Try it on a newer car sub "frame". Shit starts getting interesting quickly.
I love the way you can almost sweat things together with a gas axe. I understand the place for this electric stuff but you won't win me over. ;)
Looks straight from over here. Ship it.
Employed as a parts department guy in the greater DC area. We have a customer called Skookum Contract Services. I'm not sure how well they chooch, but I chuckle every time they call or pick up parts.

You'll get more gas, weld for five minutes and run out of wire.

@@RCGshakenbake The Feds aren't pushing thier commie shit in Texas. If they come for me. Someone that goes out of my way not to bother anyone. Then I'd hate to be the first one through the door. But they don't want to start a civil war so they aren't doing anything around here anymore. They don't even prosecute the people they arrest anywhere for anything. Unless you were at the capital on the 6th... You'd almost think that this whole thing is a setup, like the left got highjacked and tricked into overplaying their hand so hard that the backlash wipes it out completely. Cause it's gonna get wiped out completely. I mean look at what they are doing. Choosing morally indefensable positions, backing up those positions with blatant lies and they aren't even delivering anything to the people that would smooth things over. The ends of these ill justified means are all negatives for every single person in this country. How do you justify that? How do you get away with it? You don't. Biden is gonna die in office and Kamala clearly knows she's gonna get left holding the bag. I wonder how much Xanax she eats? Probably a lot.
I’m supposed to be doing some welding and grinding right now but then this got posted so I guess I’ll watch someone else do it for 17 minutes as a way of putting off having to do it myself.
Grinding I hate. Too messy.
Welding I love.

The hen’s teeth reference never gets old. Coincidentally, this is where I learned that birds don’t have teeth and it helped me “win” my first disagreement with the wife. “Win” was a moral victory; I still lost if you smell what I’m stepping in.
Chocolate treats is my way to get out of those bad smelling situations.
She didn't try using the egg tooth to win?

I am welder at a manufacturing facility. I welded some stuff for my dad a while back. Afterward he said, that place pay you to weld that shitty. True story.
Correction:
Afterward he asked, "That place pay you to weld that shitty"?
@@raymonddonovan3297 he wasn’t asking. Lol
I welded for 8hrs today the wire feeder/gun was a complete p.o.s. Complained to the boss (non welder) he didn't care if it makes sparks it's good enough. Told me to weld faster. 🤦♂️

I always appreciate an AvE shop video. It makes me much more confident in my knolling skills.

Listen to the power, skill and daring of Schubert's writing at 12:06. No one till that date, not even Beethoven had written anything like this. The dissonant section of the strings plays off the insistence of the alternating horns in a grinder of articulated chaos. The fact this frenetic section ends in quietude is telling; not even Schubert, the greatest melodist of all time, could tame the leviathon he had created. Respect and Love.
Welcome to the world of welding, and you fell straight into a classic trap. Loved watching.
Can we get the "junkie Christmas" reading this year? Its been a few years without it and I miss it.

Welding has always felt out of reach for me, but with every new AvE video I think I could probably do it well enough.
Just remember the montar “grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t “
Lmao you can, you definitely can, only not the first 14 tries :)
I'm more of a smash to fit and paint to match kinda guy myself
2 more beers and it will be straight as an arrow
That tube looks like the high quality stuff we use at our workshop, I'de spend more time cleaning than welding.
It's what grinders where invented for......well maybe not.
As soon as the classic music hits… we’re going deep
I love how all of the videos are filmed with really tight random shots. I honestly have zero clue what AvE’s shop would look like
Right its pretty crazy
The main reason I watch your welding videos and almost no one else's. Is because you are honest about your welding. It's good enough for the job it's doing. And spray paint fixes everything
@ICWeld - crimes are in progress.
@CEEKurtisAuz - Homie may need muzzling.
grinder and paint makes me the welder i aint
Ave has long since gone beyond being just another TH-cam guy tearing down tools in his Empire of Dirt™. He's our Uncle Bumblefuck, the father-figure we needed and drinking buddy we dream of. That's soppy af but not many of us are coming here for the technical details, am I right?
I really don't know why I keep coming back here
True, I've weirdly grown fond of AvE ramblings...Like that radio host, that passed on as soon as I started listening to him..
Some old man that broadcast in early early morning....told story's and stuff...
I found through google who I was talking about..
"Paul Harvey Aurandt"

You are right sir🤣
Soundsabout right
tbh, that's why I almost never come here any more
In this video, AvE reveals a never-before-seen 1/4 of his carefully chiseled physique. A treat especial indeed!

Try turning the tape measure off then back on, then recheck calibration. Same with the Argon in the tank cycle the valve could be a fluke.
Whenever he sets a vijeo to fine classical music, I know some kind of creative insanity is about to ensue!
Exactly!
You are living proof of the power of the human brain to interpret what your ears are hearing because I completely understand what your saying.
The prep time takes forever. The actual welding, takes none at all.
And as our instructor said, " Preparation is 70% of the result"
All the ‘P’s’ prior preparation prevents piss poor performance 🎭

Sht you not.., my first welds, after i was done with the grinder, i bondo’d them and covered them up with some primer...it was horrible. mind you, this was on a boat trailer🤦♀️... i still have nightmares with the damn thing. I got a bit better since then “i like to say”...
Or “Tackin the steal, don’t make you a welder for real”.
I use the beer stein video to introduce people to AvE.
as someone who works around welders, I keep reflexively shielding my eyes from the arc.
I missed these project videos set to classical music, it's just such a nice mood to be in!
I too share your appreciation for the artistry of iconography.
Keep your dingus in a lawnmower should be your outro
I've never felt closer to Ave until I saw we light our fires the same way.
Super tough coating:
Two part epoxy thinned down with xylene plus a little fummed silica and black pigment. Put your rusty steel out in the sun to get hot and apply your thinned down mixture. The rusty steel will soak up the mixture like a sponge then the heat will evaporate the xylene fairly quick. Let set up for a few days before applying liberal abuse. The steel NEEDS to be rusty for best adhesion of the epoxy.
"Out in the sun to get hot" aint a thing this far north. At least not for 8 months of the year
You need that giganto bucket that the prairie pirate has of evapo rust
I like michaelcthulhu's method- make a long trench out of bricks or whatever, line it with thick plastic sheet, add rusty steel, cover with vinegar, cover the whole mess with plywood to keep the chickens out of it and let sit overnight.
Works great when the vinegar doesn't freeze...

If it looks square it's off by at least 1/4 inch in 2 different directions, if it looks slightly off it's usually within 1/8, and wonky is wonky. Btw you have this perfect tool there that doesn't require gas, wire, or rigorous surface prep... stick is the DIYer's best friend and well worth learning.
Love stick - can’t be arsed with gas and wire.

Just a tip to those with woodstoves with cracked fire brick... don't buy from the manufacturer, just get regular fire brick and cut to fit. The factree version has more air in it to save on shipping costs. The denser stuff from the local mud slingers makes for more satisfactin heat retention.
Ah yes they say a genius almost always lives in a cluttered mess. By the ashes in the stove and the filings on the band saw, I know, that you sir, are the smartest man alive

12:40 That's actually an underrated visual gag, holding your thumb too close to the weld and then pulling it away as you feel the heat. As every welder knows, holding your finger so close will burn. As every welder also knows, you will sometimes do it anyway, thinking eh it'll be fine this time. It never is.
I wondered about that. I'm still not a welder. I keep threatening to start, but never have (I did buy a stick welder once, and then took it back before I ever used it). His thumb position there did look a little fishy, and I noticed how quickly it came off the work piece.
@@johningram2153 stick welding is one of the best skills you can develop. The new IGBt micro welders are perfect small and light for home use. I’ve made so many things (gates/arches, racks for tools and storage, modify trailers), pergola and steel structure.
@@JDAfrica I know. I keep looking for an excuse to get one. That time I bought it, it was to work on my daughter’s exhaust, under the car without a lift. Absolutely not a good first project. I found an exhaust shop that did it well for $150. I’ll do it one of these days.
I'm not convinced it was intended to be a firewood holder, it just turned out that way.
I like how you've become a firewood sommelier.
Finally some wholesome programming the whole family can enjoy.
I love to see a good project through start to finish. Shame it's never mine!
I could tell all was gonna' be right with the world when you used the dedicated power soapstone sharpening tool preferred by Ironworkers the world over.
The wood puns never get mould.
I feel like a complete idiot for not marking things i measured like you do. Even if it is in tree foam, that extra mark would have saved me a lot of remeasuring if only I were a little more clever, realization of something so simple wouldn't have taken me 5 years to realize only to slap me across the face like trying to pay the wrong person for a night of entertainment.
Cool. Ja, there are so many little tricks that nobody ever thinks to point out. Glad you caught one Cheers!
@@arduinoversusevil2025 Measure twice, mark twice, and always cut at the other mark.

Couple times there I felt like I was watching a 1920s black and white silent movie. The music 🎶 was the key. Good to see you back at it.
Took of the entire hose rather than readjust the welding mask. I can respect it.
Ahhhh finally, this takes me back to the days when you were entertaining not staring at a fire getting uncomfortably close......
