- In this one, we fabricate a set of mobile stairs out of aluminum. We use the Dynasty 300 to weld this one up, and we have some new tools to make this one easier. Hope you guys enjoy! Thanks for watching!

Here’s a couple tips that I hope will help out a fellow welder, get you some ceramic weld, splatter spray, and spray that on your aluminum fireball squares, not a big deal when you’re doing TIG welding but when you mig weld next to them, it can mess them up, another thing if you want nice fluid aluminum, mig welds you’ve got to get it to spray, turn up the amperage, turn up the wire, whenever you’re running the spool gun do some test welds first, also get used to using a carbide scribe to mark your aluminum with , one it’s more accurate and two it’s one less thing that you will have to clean off the surface 🤠
Good suggestions. I’ll have to give them a try. Thanks for watching!
I fought with spatter on my aluminum FB squares until I sprayed them with ceramic it was a game changer
I brought my aluminum fireball squares in work and was using them for mig aluminum spool gun welding and man those bbs stuck to it too easily pissed me off 😂😢. Now the company got some we got the cast iron ones try not to weld with them on just fit up than take them off before welding. It’s probably good to have a set of each if your spool gun welding aluminum the cast iron ones could be good and opposite for steel and stainless. Of course that’s more money to spend. I think that’s one of my top go to welding tools if the fireball squares and shims . Good tip 👍
Welcome to fireball jason has put a lot of thought and effort into these squares and very high quality !
I’ve had their scraper and bar clamps for a while now and love them. Fireball makes great stuff. Not sure why it took me so long to get the squares. Thanks for watching!
That Trump 2024 flag was all I needed to subscribe . :)
Hey friend, your video content left a deep impression on me. Is it possible for us to collaborate on a project at some point? Let me know your thoughts and keep working hard!
Running Tig let ur puddle build before u move. Mig run ur wire high 500+ depending on size. Amp always run 26+ on amp. I'm a combo welder ran pipe an shipyard . Just like Flux. Don't be afraid of the heat. Turn it up. Everyone has they comfort zone that they can run.
@Freedom Fabrication ---- "While you're at it, get you something real nice Clark, like a Fireball Tool" - The Fireball tools are really handy.
Thanks Eddie. They really are very handy. Get some!👊🏻 Thanks for watching!
Great work! I started buying Fireball squares 3-4 years ago and Jason has just created some great welding tools, well done.
As noted in another comment. When I'm welding a sealed off tube structure I drill holes where all the tubing intersects. Creates a large gas chamber and no visible holes and haven't had a blowout yet.
Awesome video. Anything fireball tool related is a game changer. I got the squares when they first came out like 4 years ago give or take I wanted my company to get them but they blew it off I got them and brought them in for a while finally they ended up getting a set and I think they are my top 3 most used tools you know it’s gonna be accurate using them and it’s 10 times easier even with two people I think they are accurate up to .004”. I find different uses for them every time they’re amazing. Another good fireball tool I use is the shim set and 123 blocks more so the shim set I’d be lost without them definitely a good investment. Another quality video 👍
Lots of cool tools but no bandsaw. My Piranha ironworker and Ellis bandsaw are the cornerstones of my shop.
Curious to know how the riv-nuts work since they are technically only designed for pull stress not push.
Bud do yourself a favor and get a tig button lol, I havent used my foot pedal in 2 years love it! great videos I enjoy watching
I’ve been looking at ordering one from 6061.com. Probably a good idea. Been having to do the thigh master in special situations. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for watching!
@@Freedomfabrication777 I do a decent amount of aluminum tig on boat hulls, modifications etc and dude honestly its a game changer and might of taken me couple hours to get used to but after that you have plenty of "feel" and puddle control and flexability not needing a foot pedal. I honestly doubt I ever use a foot pedal again mainly cause I'm rarely ever sitting down and welding.
@@Freedomfabrication777definitely recommend the one from 6061!
BEST WELDING CHANNEL. ONLY ONE NOT SOLD OUT PEDDLING PRODUCTS. Jody don't count since he sell his own stuff😂
Lol. I appreciate that. I’m not here to peddle products, just fabricate. I do really like Jody’s channel. Thanks for watching!
Jody's truly the best, because he's showed us all a thing or two . I've visited his store several times . Now, I just need to visit Fireball's store . lol
Good O'l cousin Eddie, nice work👌
One trick I picked up from a NASCAR welder, drill holes any place you have a one tube being welded to the side of another. Until you seal up that last weld, the entire structure is connected internally and that blow out is eliminated. I liked those squares so much, I designed my own and cut them out of 1/4" plate on a water jet and welded them up. I couldn't afford his squares, but I had free access to a waterjet.
That’s a good idea. I’ll have to try that. The fireball squares are so nice, and there really are endless possibilities on how you can use them. Thanks for watching!
I have been wanting the Fireball squares for a long time. I just recently ordered a Mega square and two Minion squares. I can’t wait to use them. I’m going to get some ceramic spray as others mentioned in the comments.
@@BMGProjects They are amazing! You won’t regret it!
I LOVE THE NERDING OUT!!!! I have some fire ball tool squares and they dope!
They are amazing! Don’t know how I worked so long without them!
Good stuff . Lookin to be a great dad . And yep, I need to get a nice assortment of Fireball toys too . I've been watching his videos for years now, but just haven't pulled the trigger yet .
Thanks, I’m trying. I don’t think you will regret any kind of fireball tools you buy. It’s all good stuff. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! I just got a couple mega squares for an aluminum project I had. I enjoy that you show different ways to use them.
Blows my mind! I bought mine for this project as well. I’m sure glad I did! Thanks for watching!
The only issue I've run into with welding aluminum using aluminum squares is the spatter sticking to the faces of the square and causing bad measurements
I would imagine that is an issue. I’ve had several comments on the channel about using ceramic weld spatter spray to avoid that. Haven’t tried it yet, but I would imagine it works. Thanks for watching!
For minute 32:00 with the square stuff. You can use the tabs like mill clamps to hold on the backside where you positioned the plate to be welded. That way it does not pull on you.
That’s a good idea. I’ll have to try it. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for watching!
Who? Who is the only other one who speaks like that??? Great to see Bridge getting super handy!!
Runs in the family I guess! Lol. Thanks for watching brother.
Do yourself a favor and get the magnetic shims from Fireball!
It’s definitely on the wish list. Seems like an awesome tool to have. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for watching!
I worked in a fabrication shop for around 6 years , we ran push pull guns instead of spool guns and TIG wasnt an option we built ladders and custom pieces like what you just made i think if you have many aluminum jobs I suggest definately look into a push pull whip , but thats my opinion i just came across your channel tonight i subscribed i like it.
@@cprobus9517 A push pull set up is on my wanted equipment list for the shop. I have ran a lot of push pull aluminum, and I agree, if you’re doing a large production job, it’s the way to go. I will get one someday. Thanks for subscribing and Thanks for watching!
@Freedomfabrication777 absolutely I like the way you work and the way you do your videos
I used to believe the same thing. Then i bought a couple of the fireball square kits and boy let me tell you they are a game changer for sure. I’ve been watching his you tube videos as well and he is Uber smart when it comes to fabrications and inventing tools. Glad to see you agree. I can’t wait to buy more of them. Love your videos Brotha, keep them coming.
Didn't realize Jason was making smaller squares. Gonna have to get a couple to add to the Fireball Hoard.
Yes sir! No matter what metal you’re welding, if it’s gonna be sealed drill a tiny hole somewhere. You can get away with it if the metal is really thick but anything thin you should make a hole.
Also don’t forget to pick up some of fireballs shims as well, I have both standard and metric shims and they are life savers.
One tip on the riv nuts is i always put some red locktite on them so they dont spin in the future.
Excellent work. Giving the Dynasty a good workout. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Thank you. The dynasty put in a shift for sure, and kicked butt. Thanks for watching!
Another good video sir. Always enjoy watching… and welcome to the Fireball life. 👍🏼
Thanks man, I appreciate that. #Fireballlife!
One of those drillbit index cards you slide you're drillbit into mite work for your rivnut sizing chart.
Not a bad idea. I’ll have to look into it. Thanks for watching!
I’m very surprised you’re just now getting those squares we talked about em years ago!
I’m slower than the average bear, you know this!
hey stuart another great vid. I got the squares 3 years ago, another great tool even at the price. I got the cast ones and after cleaning the rust off them many times I finally blued them. they are a must have tool. better than a fixture table as you can take them in the field. keep up the good work
Hey Mike, hope things are going well. The squares are an awesome addition to the tool arsenal. I like the bluing idea. I’m afraid I may have to get a fixture table as well in the future. Thanks for watching!
Thank You for your video. It was very informative and heart warming.
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever had a viewer tell me that a video was “heartwarming”. I appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
The Fireball tools are definitely handy.Great video as always 👍
Thanks!
Some nice work there, looks good 👍
Thanks man, I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
One of the Fireball fixture tables would be a game changer. Particularly when you are making multiples of the same thing.
Now I have to go by some Mega squares lol
You're a mega square
You're an ultra square
³
I know, I apologize, but you can thank me later! Lol. Thanks for watching!
@@Freedomfabrication777 I just need an excuse to buy them and where my wife won’t scrutinize it lol
She watched the video and told me that it was a good idea lol
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, FELLA!!!! Thank you so much.
Thanks, I really appreciate that, and thanks for watching!
