Did i just watch a 20 min video about a man building a guillotine to open boxes? Yes i did and loved every minute of it.
No you just watched a 20 min video of a man building a guillotine to chop bricks in half .dont lie to everybody
You've inspired me to get my hands dirty again. Over 20 years ago I went from a welder/fabricator into a tool and die apprenticeship then graduated from a Mechanical Engineering University and into desk jobs. After watching tons of your videos I finally dug out the old welder I put up when the gun needed replaced. I installed a new gun and fabbed new suspension mounts for my Gwagon since no one made a bolt on 6" lift. The rear got finished yesterday and the front came out today. Tomorrow the front factory mounts are getting cut off and the new ones I fabbed will be welded on so reassembly can begin. Thanks for reminding me how good it feels to make cool shit.
how’s the wagon holdin up?
Heres a trick for ya, run the wire through an earplug. It'll clean it just the same, difference being most every one's got a box of foamies laying around.
"Its got a bit of ugliness, so I'm gonna go over it again."
And that is how I ended up with a younger brother.
Most of the time I feel like a grinder that welds
This is why i scroll down to comments !!
Great job!!
Right in the feels.
My welding teacher taught me welding is 20% prep, 10% welding and 90% clean up... math wasn't his strong suit... he also never did his own clean up....
What r u talking about his math is mint :)
Adnan Mlivo 90% clean up could translate into 100% redo
11:45 I'm not a welder but some of ma jerb involves some 'on site ' stick welding. I had an over achieving heath and safety clip board warrior INSIST that I wear my high vis jacket even though I was tucked in a corner far from the gaze of man or beast. As a man of principles and being too long in the tooth to put up with any of his book smarts learning , I told him to fornicate off but he was crying real tears so I capitumalated . Sure enough I went up like a roman candle and had to extricate myself from the burning mass of plastique and cotton much to the delight of some scaffolders that could see my now extremely high vis coat from clear across the site. Needless to say , I remained calm and finished the job . The heath and safety guy had gone home by the time I went to find the son of a....... report the incident so I left him a nice new desk ornament in the shape of a stinking pile of melted coat with a hand written note stating that "next time someone tells you you're wrong , Fucking listen ! "
The fuck? He should have been insisting on some screens to go with your leathers.... hope he learned that lesson.

🤘😎🤘
Balaclava Bob Sir, you’re too kind, I would have hidden the burnt jacket and have him do a demo to prove it was safe and way more fun to get even.
i think you just beat chris in the commentary..good stuff... i just opened up empire of the seas will watch later thanks bob
"extremely high vis coat" love you Sir
Love the classical music with the heavy metal work. Well presented sir.
1812 - Lots of heavy metal in that piece!
“Grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t “ 👍
working for BPC (Buyers Products) that was one of my favorite joints to weld on the receiver tube/ A frames(trust me it aint just the home gamer using dissimilar material) try welding the big gaps out of position like V down instead of 1G or 2G and if welding flat or horiz. I would push the puddle not pull. Another cheep trick to show the youngsters is to use discarded MIG nozzles on the root pass of gaps you can get behind. You could weld gaps 3cm wide using a piece of copper as a backing strip. Ey I love this show BTW I'm a long time listener, first time calling in tho. You got a fine production going on. Cant wait till next season when somebody donates ya a miller 350p so ya can show us all the pulse width modulation wave forms on the oscilloscope. The kids love that stuff.
Ey, why do the ladies love gettin' with welders? 100% penetration all right all right. Keep your head out of the plume.
I work in a maintenance and repair shop in the mining industry, I wish the biggest gap I needed to fill was 3cm, it is always worse than that. There are many different non-permanent backing strip materials you can use, I personally like Brass even over the manufactured Ceramic backing strips, gouging rods will also work for smaller gaps.
I'd love to see him get his hands on an STT machine so he can scope what the machine does, or a Powerwave. They adjust voltage and WFS so you can set your machine and weld all positions, which is awesome if your ever in a confined space and can't climb in an out adjusting things for various positions.

Another thing that helps with the gaps/dissimilar thickness metal is to point the gun at the thicker piece or at the piece that does not have an exposed edge, they tend to burn away much easier.

All this welding talk makes me think of when I used to weld for Union Tank Car. We had to pass 6 different welding tests, some flux core and some stainless steel. One of the weld positions was a 6G position (I'm stressed just thinking about it). Then they would cut sections out of your 4F and 2G welds to bend and x-ray your welds before you're officially hired. Friggin stressful. The 6G was x-rayed and bent to failure. Damn that job paid well though.
Watching AvE with auto-generated captions is my new favorite pass-time lol
The genius in the choice of soundtrack is beyond what one expects from TH-cam. You, sir, raised the bar again!
After watching tons of videos by people who weld 40+ hours a week for years, it’s rather refreshing and relatable to watch an occasional welder do a strong, decent job.
YES THE CLASSICAL MUSAC IS BACK
Love the cinematography!!
I didn't realize AvE was soooo sophisticated. I bet he drinks his Yoohoo with his pinky out.
nothing better than the sound of a properly set mig weld. makes me hungry and confident
Ah a fellow man of culture
Unleash the wrath of the keyboard fabricator!
Nice project there AvE, some hot tips too. Pun intended
#instagramwelder
If someone is gonna use this vijayo not as a MIG welding tutorial, but as an introduction to classical music, it was Tchaikovskiy's 1812 Ouverture.
Rubbish! Everyone knows William Tell wrote that...
Dorati's early 1960s Mercury-label classical performance on top of it.
I love his edited scores
Ironic that it's a guillotine with that song choice too haha. And why cut it right before the crescendo?! Such blue balls.
Good call! Lol. I thought I was the only one who knew that lol. Bravo sir
So many cliff hangers, I love this channel damn it. Appreciate the hard work keeping us in the shop.
I've watched this video, and the one that was made right before this video, probably 10 times each.
I've been teaching myself how to weld. You throw out a bunch of great welding advice throughout, so I just wanted to thank you. You pretty much inspired me to get away from wood, to metal.
I think the best advice is that ppl should learn stick welding, before mig, so you really learn what the hell is going on.
Thanks for making sure I didnt become a smoke eater
This is the greatest work of art since Salvador Dali painted melting clocks.
The Lawn Care Nut I did too........
Most of Dali’s work contains melted cocks too. Sexual imagery is pretty heavily plastered clocks cocks no difference
Does anyone else find themselves averting their eyes during the welding just out of habit?
0Calvin i too on all those welding videod
Hahahahaha
Yeah especially when I'm watching on my phone when it's dark in the room. CONRTACT!
All the time!
Yep, the left hand goes up and the head turns to the right.... not a bad habit to have, thinking about it!
This the the type of video I come for to AvE for. Classical music, metal shavings, arc flash and simple tips.
I'm 37. I grew up with a father who taught me lots of cool, interesting and crazy things like our shop boss here does daily. Sadly, it wasn't consistent nor was the man himself. As a kid and as a younger man I craved knowledge from Men like the boss here and old timers from the greatest generation. WWII vets teaching me how to weld, run a lathe and make cool things after finishing work. I have 2 boys and a girl that I find myself teaching them the things I've always sought out. The world needs more Men like Dr. Ave here. Cheers, Mickey
Now this is a vidjeo. Sparky sparks, tape measure covering, bridgeporting, and a kick ass soundtrack. All thumbs full up.
As my grandpa used to say... if it's worth building then it's worth over building.
That's clever!
anyone can build a structure that stands, it takes an engineer to build one that barely stands
Your grandpa was Red Green?
Luke Rediger Hey now, we don't just build buildings that barely stand, we also build some that stand for a little while and then collapse after we're gone. Planned obsolescence.
Borgrim_ he's my hero!
You, sir, have an impeccable taste in music. Nothing more relaxing than watching some milling, cutting, and welding to the tune of classical!
Love the message on your tape measure!
Also the only channel on yt where a man can plunder his drawers and show off his bent rod and not get flagged.
Love Ave! ... and bricks!
That intro was fucking incredible.
This video was awesome. Just watching the mill at work and you building something. Awesome. Thank you for showing us.
One of the best welding videos I've ever watched. Thanks
I'll wholeheartedly second the advice to keep your face away from the zip disc, or better yet wear a full face shield. One blew up in my face in January from 2 feet away cutting an exhaust pipe under a car where I didn't have a lot of room to get out of the danger zone, safety glasses saved my eyes from shrapnel but a good size chunk hit my cheek with about the force of a baseball bat and I wound up with a 2 inch gash right over my cheekbone. Have a wicked scar to remind me that my toys ain't Tonka trucks anymore, but hey chicks dig scars right?
Flap wheels blow up too. Dont ask how I know that.
Wire wheels are bastards, too.
xWineScroungerx Good thing I'm in Canuckistan then... :-P
Dan Henderson oh yes I know about those dam flap discs. They don't explode as much as kick back if you run into a sharp corner. I nose them too well. Safety squints saved my eyes.
Chicks double dig it when the scar was obtained in a knife fight.... Lie on my friend!
Pneumatic cylinder to "fire" the blade.
That's what I am thinking it needs. A fast one to.
that may be what his recent video was about...
That's the way I would kill my beef
Or at give the blade an angle to it. There's a reason why they were like that.
pauljs75 It will be the "Marie Antoinette " of tool de-packagers!
I are Rigger that appreciated of your video kindly Sir. Love learning all the electronicals and what knots on your channel but now you done went and hit me with a heart punch, right dead nuts in my chest!
That montage was truly gorgeous.
is this related to your pneumatic vijeo? fully automated guillotine maybe? i had a sneaking suspicion this was going to be a guillotine right around the 8:52 mark haha! cheers bud!
analog56x wtf how is it 4 days ago?

Patreon, you get the videos 4-5 days early.
Patrons get the videos a week early yo!
I knew Canada had the Burning Sandles healthcare situation, but I had no idea it made sense to build your own circumcision machine.
Hex Bit
Leave Barnie Sandler alone, aint nothing wrong with Garth's father.
Hex Bit - The vise will be mounted just on the other side.
Nah - comedy would be doing a TH-cam search for Sadlers Wells and realizing that the bullshit there passes for actual "art".
What is burning sandles healthcare?
Burning Sandles was the primary opponent of Turd Sandwich in the 2016 US Democratic Presidential primaries. Turd Sandwich ended up winning the Primary and competing against Giant Douche for the Presidency, wherein she lost to Giant Douche. Burning Sandles was well known for his advocation of Single Payer Healthcare and other constructs of a Socialist government.
Great camera work and right on the mark for editing! Cheers!
Even tho I'm a couple years late viewing this, I want to add a comment.
I love, like everyone else here the funny as hell wordish you useth. You are like top dog in my you tube favorites.
That said, when you get serious about safety stuff and get serious about the how to stuff, you shine like the sun. Kids would be lucky to have you as their shop teacher. Keep on doing what you do.
Professional welder=Expert grinder
IIRC, "A grinder and paint,
makes up for the welder you ain't."
coded grinder local 401
You're gonna be a regular Murray Antoinette with that there contraption.
Let THem eat Cake & ice Cream !
Mary Antputee eh?
Nice you brought back the classical music. It goes well with your construction projects.
You had me in suspense for 3:24 before I heard the warm and welcoming "Gentlemen welcome back to the shop"
Cut and weld to do your best; paint and caulk to hide the rest.
Do your best and caulk the rest (unless it’s stain grade)
Sweet sandwich slicer!
I'm more thinking he's getting ready for when his daughter is old enough to date. Tree chippers are rather predictable, I guess.
Those videos keep getting butter and butter (pun intended), and THEN you added the classical ear pleaser. Thumbs up!
Intro... Perfection. I kept thinking something was going to explode. It's also the same thought I have when I weld
Demonetised for brickheading.
Hey try to leave the nozzle over the hot metal until the gas stops flowing. 12:25 you pull the gun away while the metal is still yellow hot so the next time you hit it, it won't fuse as well
I swear this channel is getting better.
My husband is watching your video on our tv and said you need to watch his videos. He so smart and it's so interesting watching his videos.
When you try and str8n some stock and over-bend it the same amount in the wrong direction, know that feeling.
Gotta love it
That's whatcha call work hardening. Makes it go faster.
You're pulling the nozzle away from the weld too fast. The reason the shielding gas stays on for a second after you release the trigger is to shield the weld pool as it cools to prevent nitrogen embrittlement.
Story of my life with a scratch tig :(
When I heard you speaking french and making the steel wedge I new you are building a guillotine; really enjoy your videos, thanks for great entertaining
Really enjoy your videos. I’m a journeyman carpenter and 3yr millwright and look at your videos as quality training. I was a firefighter, fire officer and rescue tech but (no pun) got burned out.
Pyotr, 'Twas barely a six and a quarter of the clock, post meridian, but she eschewed my proposition! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Well played sir!
Intermernet too kind
The reason your wire got all chooched in the beginning is because your tension on your drive roller was too tight. Make sure they will slip if you get a burnback on the top or a bb. Nice work pal.
incorrecet usage of the word chooched
Chooch actually has a definition? I thought it was always contextual.
Frig! :-D
He also had the wrong drive roller for flux cored on..
AvE, it feels as though its been AGES since we saw you slathering the schmoo and letting the hot chips fly, its good to see you have retained your at par home gamer form!
i always love the wonderful music you put on
18:18 The inner Frenchmen released.
TheVexCortex. Sick!
I kinda feel retarded for not seeing it cumming until it was right up in my face.
Actually made me laugh. thank you
Your welder sprays 2 seconds longer gas to cool the weld, and protect it from picking up o2. When you stop welding, don't remove the gun, keep it.
Not very necessary with steel.
Yea it does with tig not mig
I love the intro, very clever. Good music.
Outstanding editing, such that the "Les Marseillaise" section of the 1812 Overture comes in strong as we first see the guillotine blade slide in the tracks 😂
Serrated drive roller for flux core with less tension and v Grove for solid wore more tension on rollers
Guillotine safety tips, never a dull moment!
Now this is a vidjeo. Sparks, Bridgeport, excessive tape measure coveting, and a kick ass soundtrack. Thumbs up
Love it! Someone’s already said this and you probably already know this I’m sure, but if the blade is angled it’s going to be vastly improved . Great vijeo!
Gorgeous intro man. Are those Record vises common in Canada? A buddy's grandpa passed and had two in his estate.
Yes!
With the music about 10 minutes in I was waiting to see the Fleet steaming around the corner ... thought we were going to War
nice work! Tunes fit perfectly.
Great song and cool shots for the first 3:30 or so. Great work.
What brand is that bench top band saw? That looks as handy as an extra set of thumbs.
It´s a femi band saw.
Seiberger, thank you!
Shouldnt it be smooth drive rollers for solid wire and serrated for flux core?
Luke Lahnstein yes
Affirmative Desert Rider.
Yes that’s why it was bird nesting. Was gonna write it myself but checked the comments first cause it was so obvious!
Cock with the piss you got
I have always used smooth for flux core because serrated made my wire kinky. Whatever works.
I find myself giving thumbs ups all the time. Can't match this guys English, never-mind French. Then there's the 1812 Overture. The excellent work comes in at third place. I'm learning to stick weld, too old and poor for classes. Thanks Ave.
Thank you for playing one of my very favourite chunks of toe-tapping finger-waving music. What a story from history.
Bob Packard It’s mr. Chaykovskiy
Keep your brick in a slicer
Bought my self a stick having seen your ‘buy a stick and learn to weld on a curve’ previous vajao. Tacking with 7018 is hard. Been cheating. Tacking with the gasless MIG. Running beads with 7018. Getting the arc to strike over and over with those 7018’s man...
Love the vid looks like some French heritage shinning through to me
Be sure to check out ChuckE2009's stick videos, I found them really helpful myself.
Grab some 6010 and tack with them. 1/8 at about 115 amp works good. Then you don't have to worry about switching amperage all the time, just swap rods.
Slagle comes off easy, tips don't Slag over, just an all round easier life.
Birddy Birddy I will give 6010 a crack. I have 6013, I was amazed the difference in how arc strike between the two. 6013 easy, 7018 not so much. Good tip about the slag as well
I love welding with 7018! Lincoln Excalibur 7018 is excellent stuff! Restrikes with it can be a pain tho. The flux undercuts and will skin over the metal tip of the rod. Keep an old file handy and just take a quick swipe across the end of the rod when you go to start welding again. Easy peasy!
John Acuff I am getting better, need to practice more. I am based in UK and have some reputable brand European 7018. I like the idea of using a file, which I have seen people using, to get rid of slag. I have taken to a little tappy tap tap on the anvil which seems to do the trick. I am getting there....
You made my day! For the whole move I was wondering what are you building and when I realised what it is going to be I felt of a chair :-D
My daughter, the budding cellist, loves your music choices.
Huh, that binder clip trick is something I do with my 3D printer filament. The feed mechanism also looks pretty similar.
Finally! Welding advice from ol' uncle bumblefuck
This is the best welding instruction since shop class.
Can't go wrong with Tchaikovsky. I love your choices in music. You have *seriously* been upping your game in the realm of fabrication-porn. Gettin' jelly of that there clickspring, wha? Don't think I don't notice those cute little cinematography tricks you're playing. We see the flashes of the welding reflected on the vice that you then turn and chuck the piece up against...You're sneaking in a bit of art for us savages, and I completely approve.
That moment when he says "CONTACT" and you engage your safety squints
Always thought it was spelt 'KEEyarntakt'.
"Count fingers before and after use" I'm pretty sure that'll be in the owners manual.
Best welding I've seen so far.
Just beautiful brought tears to me eyes
Something tells me you gotta keep chicadee away from this thing
exactly the comment i was about to post, behold the hivemind!
Hell no, let her throw the switch for the unboxer! I'm sure she'll giggle like daddy.
smoke em if in you got em
Mustie1 hey its you
Mustie1
I guess he's got them.
All is well in the world when Mustie1 and AvE collide.
Hello Mustie1!
Mustie1 needs a Vulcan welder!
I was just thinking the other day "I want AvE to do a welding video". My prayers were answered.
He says to the box! "off with his heeeaaad" x'D, I love it!
Hollow bacon :'D
Was I the only one waiting for Mickey Mouse to come out carrying a mop and bucket?
Entropy did you clock the broom in the background near the vice when he was welding?
Hah. no I missed that!
Oh the dramatics! Suspense and intense raves the New York times.. I laughed, I cried, I wet myself says Mickey the Duke. But as always I love your videos
I work at a facility making the welding wires, the shmoo on the wire is deliberate, this is drawing soap that helps to form the wire through a drawing die and it left a fine layer on the wire to help it slide inside the torch lead, letting the wire go through it smoothly and preventing mechanical stress on the feed system. most manufacturers don't care about the quantity of shmoo left on the wire, but we do, just enough to get the perfect slide but not too much to prevent clogging. it's usually molybdenum disulfide or a teflon-based soap.
Jodie??? AvE?
Two things about a grinder.
1. if it explodes chances are it will take your wrist with it, so unless you don't care, either use the shield or really, whatever else you do is pointless, because there's chance you'll bleed to death like a 2000s emo trend.
2. if you try to be safe, use the shield, if you try to be safe and don't use the shield, refer to no 1.
And people might say, come on, how bad can it be...well, it kinda looks like someone took the smudge tool in photoshop and moved it around on your hand. Saw it once, i am now a shielded convert. I've done some big shits in my life, but i don't want that bad juju.
I wish my lawn was emo so it would cut itself.
Cutoff wheel will explode "harmlessly," though
Wrong about the cut off wheel. Most are made to break away in a “safer manner”, instead of just exploding like the older ones
I've had cut off discs explode on me probably a dozen or so times in 25yrs. If you wear leather gloves and keep your head axially aligned the pieces just fly off and bounce off relatively harmlessly your arms and legs(that is, as long as your not wearing short sleeves and jogging shorts.)However, I have witnessed several coworkers get injured mainly cause they let go of the grinder as it caught and take off cutting effortlessly whatever body part it comes in contact with. I find it better to risk breaking a disk with a death grip than to have it fly out of my hands like a chicken with its head cut off.
Now I know what you're gonna use the pneumatic actuator for.... :-) I'm looking forward for your next video. Excellent welding by the way.
Part of my tests was to weld with mig, they made sure ALL the settings were wrong,
One thing my tutor said and I'll never forget, _once it's set right it will sound like your mums Bacon cooking on a Sunday morning_
