Jody, I've been learning a lot from your vids, thank you! I'm just a DIY hobbyist, but there aren't any classes in my area so I'm teaching myself with the help of videos and books. My next welding project is going to be a welding cart, though probably out of 1" 0.065 wall square tube, not the heavy stuff you lucked into. Going to try it with your TIG finger and gas lens kit and find out how hard what you make look easy really is! If it holds together I'll be happy enough for a first TIG project. The little welding table I did to learn OA welding is still going strong so there's hope. -- Mike
MagTabs! I bought two not long after watching an earlier video of yours which featured them. They are indeed very useful tools. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Lovin your videos up here in Canada Jody .... I have learned more in 4 or 5 hrs of watching you than I have in the past 2 years of muckin' around on the net :) THANKS ! BTW I build motorcycles and other projects in my spare time and really LIKE that you provide metric references throughout ! THANKS for what you do !
Jody, After watching Lanse videos using a cold cut saw, we bought one for work. It is the greatest thing since sliced bread! No more red hot pieces, no more dust and fiberglass debris in the air, and the cuts are very , very accurate. I have the same Makita saw as you at home, but that will go soon in favour of the cold cut saw.
Jody, This one is made by Fein. It is called a Slugger 14" Metal Cutting Saw. Order Number is 72905361120. Up here in Canada it was around $600 and blades are about $150 each. Should be much less in US. The blades last a long time compared to chop saw blades. We have had it about a year now and so far, it is great. Lanse got his from Northern Tool I believe, and for the most part, they are all the same. 1300 RPM compared to chop saws.
I'm surprised no one has pointed out that using the same grinding media for your parts as your tungsten is an excellent way to contaminate the tungsten and create welding issues. Definitely envious of the shop though. Love the videos.
+OSUNickTheGreek Is that a real issue on just straight tungsten though? Especially grinding away from the tip? I'd assume any significant contaminants are ejected away from the tip anyway.
When you were laying out the sides to weld, you welded one side, then stacked the other on top to mirror it. Would it have worked as well if you had stacked both sides up at once, then just tacked all the inside and outside edges? Love the videos, thanks for all the great info.
Like it. Looks similar to a cart I built few years ago. Even same wheels. Are you gonna use a drop axle design to keep it low center? Couple of 3 or 4 inch schedule 40 cut in half make nice cable hangers.
I like that design, savin a bit of material and it looks cool..kinda floating like, but from a previous question, how "flexy" is it Jody? I've got an inverter myself and may try and copy that design. Did you make it so the welder sits in the middle portion or on top? I'd love to see some finished pics if it as I think it's pretty slick. That little trick with the mag mount tool for the end caps was pretty clever as well. As I'm getting older I'm losing my common sense and seeing that little tool work for you makes so much sense. I think I would have crusted up my gloves not thinking of the way you showed. Thanks and keep up the clean and interesting work. -Pidge
hey man love your vids. I got an OLD airco tig from way back when it has the spaced out electroids (internally for HF) that I am not sure how to space properly. I would also love some info and tips on these old transformer based machines, as these are some of the best deals on craigslist. thanks
In June, I am getting a Miller Bobcat 225. Miller wants $700 for a thing to hold it. No way. haha I have been into making my own stuff, since I got my first, cheap welder in June. So, I know I can make my own cart. There ARE some things I can ask though. First, the welder, with gas and oil, will weight almost 500 pounds. The little welder I have now, can weld 1/4 inch mild steel. Will I be able to make a strong enough cart, with that? Ok, so, let us say I can. I used some wood, to make a model of the cart. I don't want just a flat metal piece. So, I made, let's say a skeleton. Just a box, with beams in the middle. You know, to make it stronger. Alright, then, I would get some of those rods they have at Home Depot and weld one to each side. Maybe stack two, just to make it taller. Man, I got that down. Though I just started, I found I am good at welding. I figure things out you know? The ONLY thing that I am lost to, is the wheels. If I wanted to put a set of, almost tractor tires on the back, be them small, how can I do that? I just got into the tool thing. haha Hey, I just turned 31, so, I guess it is a little late. Those wheels go on tractors no? So, what can I make, that will allow me to put them on the back of a cart?
Heeey Jody! Could you PLEASE do some overview of Fronius welding machines? I'm especially interested in TransPuls Synergic 4000, because this one gives me a lot of hard time in company, and no one knows how to set it properly...
My new welder came with that tig trigger torch. Never used it before. So glad u showed it. I may have bought the wrong inverter tech myltipurpose welder. It,s a RazorWeld 180 from Austrailia. Anybody hear of or use it? Great vid boss
These are the best videos, I learn something new every time. Do you own a plasma Jody? The gouge feature is awesome for cutting tacks and unwanted welds. Great info and amazing beads.
I'm still learning, so I hope this question isn't too stupid -- why tack with TIG, then switch to MIG for the joins? Why not stick with TIG? Where is a good resource for more intro-level answers like that?
You used 1 1/2" square tube. Would a smaller size work or would you stick with 1 1/2". Also what wall thickness would you recommend? Would 16 gauge work or do you need something thicker?
Jody, how is the cart holding up so far? I am looking at a MP210 and a Square wave 200 to find a new home on one cart. I like the open design, you can still get at everything on the machine.
+Steven Kelly Frank I am Scheduled to film some dualshield videos with Andrew Cardin in 2 weeks so the first dualshield video should be out shortly after that. Andrew took 5th place in welding at World Skills so a tag team video should be a lot of fun and hopefully more interesting than a video with just me.
Right on Jody, very much looking forward to hearing more from Andrew, what an awesome and dedicated young man. We need more people out there like him to get kids die hard interested in welding. It's a beautiful and dying talent/career, and kids need to put their damn phones down and get some hood time. Thanks again Jody for all the great videos and projects over the years, you and your talent have helped me grow immensely as a welder/fabricator. Thank you for being you man. -Steve in Alaska
Jody, Great video as always! I recently got ahold of some 308l FC tig rod. This isn't anything I've ever seen before. What is it best used for? And would you consider doing a video on it? Best regards, John
You mean you have flux cored stainless tig rod, that can't be cheep you sure you meant tig or was that supposed to be mig, if it is tig I have heard about it but could never find any videos or info on it. Please make a video of it when you use it and let me know.
+Ethan Schulz Tig, not Mig. A friend who works at a power plant construction factory gave it to me, but didn't know how they used it. I've tigged my share of stainless, but never seen this stuff before...maybe someone who knows about it can chime in?
I need information on picking the right torch, for welding 16 and 18 gauge mild steel, sheet metal on old cars. I have 2 welders, Eastwood tig 200 AC/DC and Everlast 160 tig. I am having problems on both of them, welding fine sheet metal. I saw you had a selection of different torches on one of your videos, I want to scrap the two torches i have a purchase the right one i need just for sheet metal. Any recommendations? Do you sell any?
Hi Jody, on the welding cart video the deep bodied stock combination square you use were can i get one, im in the UK and have been searching one for ages with no luck. If you can give me a supplier,s name i would be very grateful.
Sorry, but not impressed with the amount of distortion..You should have a better idea of how much it's going to pull and be able to get it straighter..Saying it's just a welding cart does not mean you should make it crooked..

+Rattletrap2 What brand does your work place use? I am shopping for one myself

love watching you weld Jodi. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Gona get me one of those tig fingers
Reminds me a lot of those flexible living room chairs made from a single piece of bent pipe. The chassis i mean. Looks cool.
I'm surprised no one has pointed out that using the same grinding media for your parts as your tungsten is an excellent way to contaminate the tungsten and create welding issues. Definitely envious of the shop though. Love the videos.
+OSUNickTheGreek Is that a real issue on just straight tungsten though? Especially grinding away from the tip? I'd assume any significant contaminants are ejected away from the tip anyway.
+demultiplexer grinding direction doesn't matter. you should always use a dedicated stone/disc to grind tungsten.
Can't beat free material. Surprised to see you sharpening your tungstens on the same machine you use for other materials :p
Great job Jody, looking good. Thanks for sharing with us.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When you were laying out the sides to weld, you welded one side, then stacked the other on top to mirror it. Would it have worked as well if you had stacked both sides up at once, then just tacked all the inside and outside edges?
Love the videos, thanks for all the great info.
Very informative vid. Why didn't you TIG the whole thing. Cost, Structure? I'm just learning thanks.
Great stuff Jody - gonna have to get me a couple of magtabs!
Thanks for the video and all the great tips. I'm sure it helps folks immensely.
thanks for taking the time to make great videos
Outta do a video how how to flame straighten to fix the distortion. A handy skill that many fabricators don't know how to do.
Great Stuff Sir Trying to learn this or get an idea before I go to wielding school
Like it. Looks similar to a cart I built few years ago. Even same wheels. Are you gonna use a drop axle design to keep it low center? Couple of 3 or 4 inch schedule 40 cut in half make nice cable hangers.
+AccurateDesignFab I am definitely going to use drop axle concept , the swivel casters will determine the clearance.
I like that design, savin a bit of material and it looks cool..kinda floating like, but from a previous question, how "flexy" is it Jody? I've got an inverter myself and may try and copy that design.

Es bien mucho más limpio ese aporte! Aún más que mig!

You are great! I hope i have tools same with your tools. Amazing channel
I'm getting everything for welding school starting January...should I get a tig finger for school?
My new welder came with that tig trigger torch.
Never used it before. So glad u showed it. I may have bought the wrong inverter tech myltipurpose welder. It,s a RazorWeld 180 from Austrailia. Anybody hear of or use it?
Great vid boss
When you going to do a video of you welding harden steal ar500, hardox, t1000?
These are the best videos, I learn something new every time. Do you own a plasma Jody? The gouge feature is awesome for cutting tacks and unwanted welds. Great info and amazing beads.
I'm interested to see what advantages this cart will have.
I'm still learning, so I hope this question isn't too stupid -- why tack with TIG, then switch to MIG for the joins? Why not stick with TIG? Where is a good resource for more intro-level answers like that?
He has more clamps than Norm Abrams. How did some of the clamps use the holes in the table top.
You used 1 1/2" square tube. Would a smaller size work or would you stick with 1 1/2". Also what wall thickness would you recommend? Would 16 gauge work or do you need something thicker?
Wow that is a cool concept how has it been holding up?
Jody, how is the cart holding up so far? I am looking at a MP210 and a Square wave 200 to find a new home on one cart. I like the open design, you can still get at everything on the machine.
Should be a good design for multiple units. I'm thinking about making one for my Everlast welder and hopefully a plasma cutter.
when are the dualshield videos coming Jody?!?!
+Steven Kelly Frank I am Scheduled to film some dualshield videos with Andrew Cardin in 2 weeks so the first dualshield video should be out shortly after that.

Hi can I weld metal tube with Tig welder or the Tig do Steel and Aluminum only ?
Cool video. Did you change from Tig to Mig because it's faster? I'm wanting to get into welding and I appreciate your videos. Thanks
I know this is older video but where did you get the fat base square you was using
Hello on one of your video you cut the nozzle of your mig mag. I did not understand why?
hey Jody. what kind of lens do you use to film. the color is nice! the blue one ?? @weldingtipsandtricks
I need information on picking the right torch, for welding 16 and 18 gauge mild steel, sheet metal on old cars. I have 2 welders, Eastwood tig 200 AC/DC and Everlast 160 tig. I am having problems on both of them, welding fine sheet metal. I saw you had a selection of different torches on one of your videos, I want to scrap the two torches i have a purchase the right one i need just for sheet metal. Any recommendations?

Where do you find free metal?? Love the videos!!
Hi Jody, on the welding cart video the deep bodied stock combination square you use were can i get one, im in the UK and have been searching one for ages with no luck. If you can give me a supplier,s name i would be very grateful.
Sorry if you've discussed this before, but. What square are you using? It looks amazing!
+Josh Smith is called a lasquare its a wide based square that can stand up by itself. you can learn more at weldmonger.com
weldingtipsandtricks ,it make me bappy to s y ,it mk s s ease.....
great gob when you attach the next video
Tiene buena excelente estética! De Acabado el tig
Jody, очень профессионально, есть чему поучиться.
Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of inverter vs transformer stick welders? I like the price of a Stickmate but the versatility of the HTP
Do you have the dimensions on your site? Also how many feet of square tube would you say is needed to complete this project?
New welder here why did you use tack with tig and not mig?
love ur vids learn from them everytime. keep it up
HI i need help --i paid lincoln electric model R3R-400 but i have problem in how did it work ----
Jody, is it hard to learn to tig weld? All I've ever done is stick/
Jody,Do you know the MFG. of your 12" adjustable square you are using? I like the really wide base on it.
+William Brehm It made by lagesse and I sell them on my online store at weldmonger.com
Hello i would like to know the dimensions of your welding table?
hi jody where did you get your combination square from ,thanks
Hi Jody, Newbie to welding. Just curious why you use Mig welder instead of Tig finish joins?
my guess is because it is faster
A 3 inch gusset would do wonders with strength and not be very unsightly.
+1HandBackhand I may wind up putting a few gussets on it. gonna wait and see how flexy it is with a welder on it.
What are the clamps you're using?
Les hago cv esa pregunta porque me interesa comprar un equipo de ese tipo tig!!
i was hoping to see the sketch on a bar napkin.
What flap discs do you prefer? Thank you.
+Brandon D Right now I am undecided on flap discs and am thinking of getting a bunch of samples from to try out.
Great videos, thanks so much.
belles video,bon proffessionel!!!!!
What kind of square is that
nice job..thank you for explain it
every time I see an un-shaded shot of an arc I get ptsd to leaving my hood on grind mode
why do you dab carbon like aluminum?
Disculpen una pregunta quien sepa! De alguien del público o alguien que sepa cuánto cuesta o es muy caro la soldadura el aporte para tig!!??
I want to know what you use to derust so well
+Shaun Tucker It appeared to me all he used was a flap disk.
+Shaun Tucker I used a 3m 4-1/2" brown bristle disc...kinda pricey but they are worth it.
+weldingtipsandtricks I stand corrected. lol
where can i buy a table like that?
nice , thanks for the lesson .
I built a welding cart once!
good work!
What might machine you using?
Mig
MIG ultimate hot glue gun for metal.
tig finger is cheaper than a pair of gloves
Hey. Do not rush working ;) So lost your commitment to excellence in the work.
Great video, Jody! I sent you an email about a project I'm working on. Hope to hear from you.
nice
