Hi Rob. Great content as usual. One of the best tips I have been given was to buy an LED headlamp torch, discard the elastic strap and use 3m tape to attach it to the top of the helmet. It has transformed my welding, particularly in tight areas where there is not a lot of light.
Wow, that's a great idea. Read it just now and I am already thinking of trying it out, especially with my camera. I have trouble recording good welding footage, and have tried auto darkening lenses etc. You have triggered the thought in my mind of flooding the area with light. I hope it helps, and will try it soon. Thanks RT.
Yep that could work. I can’t believe that they don’t make helmets with the light already built in! A bonus of living in the lockdown state here in Melbourne is that I get to try out some of your tips and tricks when I should be working.....lol.
You champion . Gutter advice to this level just doesn’t seem to exist elsewhere. Thanks Rob. I feel like wheeling the Panelvan out of the corner right now and revisiting that rear gutter that has me scared. Appreciate you so much. Pete.
The important thing with using these types of machines is to keep fingers out. The has been a couple of times where I have felt the tooling starting to rub on my fingers......not a good feeling, but a worthy signal. Fortunately no damage to me from Pullmax. 😁😁😁
Hi Rob, another great video Get hold of a 3M rep and see how they can support you, if you can’t contact them directly go through whoever you buy your supplies from as they can get them in for you. I’ve done it with major tool companies like Milwaukee. Take care stay safe👍
Nice work Rob, really appreciate the explanations and details of how you work to make pieces and get everything to line up etc... Keep it up I'm now a subscriber from Sydney NSW. Cheers Mick
Hi Mick, Thanks for commenting. Welcome to the channel! Stay tuned, we have a lot more content to upload, and hopefully once the new computer is put together, and functioning well as an editing computer, we can keep them coming. Cheers, Rob and Deb
Another quality video, great job Rob & Deb! Good advice on the helmets, a good quality helmet will also see your welding improve as you can see it better. I have a true colour unimig razor one and it is very good for price. Around the $200 mark.
Hi mate. Thank you for your comment. Just trying to keep it real. Knowledge is meant to be shared. We just hope it's helpful to some people out there. Cheers Rob and Deb
Hello Rob and camera crew. Thank you for the great series of videos. Could you please put this video into the Playlist Rob's Shed - 1970 HG Ute? It is the only one of the series that is not shown in the playlist folder. Regards Lionel
Thanks so much for your feedback. Glad to hear that you are enjoying the videos. I must have missed putting these onto that playlist. Done now! Cheers Deb (Video crew, editor, dogs body etc.😁)
Rob I know it’s a little bit premature, but would you be able to do a short video on how to clip on the stainless steel gutter molds onto the gutter. I have tried, but cannot seem to clip / twist them on with bare hands Regards Kel
If you hook the top edge on an use the flat of your palm, bump down and in on the bottom edge. Should just clip on. Happy to make a video. We will keep working on the old HG until it is shiny and back together, so many topics will be covered. Cheers Rob.
@@shanepascoe1078 meaning it is a mildly galvanised steel. Cold rolled is also fine but tends to get surface rust if left for extended periods of time. Hope this helps
@@mickholgate3347 yeah it only took a day in the rain for my .95mm cold rolled to get rust.nothing to pannic about though. Curious to hear Rob what you use and do you replace same for same?
Hi Mate, sorry I saw this comment earlier and meant to comment, but got busy with life and forgot about it. I do apologize for this. The problem with galvanized steel is the weld contamination ,if you grind the coating from the weld area it will work. The other problem is paint delamination from galvanize, but careful preparation and a good etch primer will work. Some companies make zincalum door skins, they work. I prefer cold rolled as it is the most malleable sheet easily available to me, but it is very good at going rusty. I use zinc annealed sheet for structure work and parts that don't need alot of shape. Cheers Rob.

Glad to be of some help. Good luck with the PV. Cheers Rob.
Wow so much better no "keystone cops " music. Just the sound of tools doing their work and Rob explaining. Keep it up much appreciated !
I'd have gutter shaped fingers if I tried that Pullmax thing.

Hey rob could you do a video on making a steel reverse cowl scoop?
We can look at this in the future. Thank you for watching.

When using sheet metal can you use any kind or does it have to be cold rolled?
from memory Rob uses zinaneal steel, is that right Rob?
