- When Black Stallion reached out to ask me to build a sign for their new BSX Line of Welding gear I was happy to do my part. I've used their gloves for years and was excited to see what the Jackets had to offer. I wasn't disappointed, join me for the build as I incorporate a number of different techniques into this project. From CNC Plasma Cutting to 3D Printing, let's do this!

Sweet project, Richard. Great watching you use whatever it takes to get the job done. Fun seeing you two working together.
Man how did you learn all these applications? School or self taught ? Really enjoy your videos ...thank you for the time and knowledge
Entirely self taught
You and Jessica are awesome!
This is great man. Love your stuff. You really have some serious talent. Your wife cracks me up, mine helps me in the shop as well.
I learned a ton during this. Thanks very much! Regarding the 3D printed letters: I did a video recently where I used spackle and autobody filler paint to fill in the layer lines on 3D printed letters for a sign. The letters where I did that came out looking crazy smooth, especially compared to the previously unfinished option. Weren't really that hard to do, either.
Not sure if that's old news to you or not; also not sure how useful it'd be when you have to work fast enough to turn a profit. I suspect that the process could eventually be done fast enough to use this method and still make money, but you'd know more than me about that than me! IN ANY CASE, just bringing up an example of testing it out, considering you mentioned you'd be looking into the smoothing and such eventually. Have a good one.
That magnetic clamp......is obviously......money WELL spent!!!!
I use non-skid truck-bed liner paint black with texture in it already. It’s a primer and paint in one and covers all scratches from sanding. Less work and very durable. Rust oleum is best. Nice sign
Very sharp contrast between all the components, Jessica did a great job, yea ok, your helping her made it all pop !!
Can you tell me please what model lighting sets you buy. I would like to order one.
Complete with transformer.
Thank you
if you have a sand blast cabanit us alum oxide media for the 3d prints leaves lovely finish
Sign turned out fantastic. Did ever tell you I used to sell stud welding equipment back in the early 90’s? CD and ARC.
Nope, and cool beans this is cd only 5/16" max diameter.
That’s baller. Really dig the expanded metal background and the 3D printing
We went thru a few designs. I was happy when they picked this one. Expanded steel is an interesting material to work with.
Put your girlfriend in EVERY video. I have a girlfriend and......not interested but, there are PLENTY of guys who will subscribe because of her. Just saying.....
Great way to make women uncomfortable in "our" spaces...
Nice Job! Enjoyed following the project, the interaction and your laughs. Keep Rockin!
I love all your videos sir
U did well on this one as well
Is that cord just showing behind that sign? Is there a way to hide that cord, of will their be backing placed?
Run the cord the the wall at final install
There is a way to do it on a plasma cutter:)
My thermal dynamics pakmaster 1000xl cuts expanded steel mesh!
My hypertherm has a continuous cut mode and have cut expanded metal several times on my table. Does http have this feature?
Far out looking
Laser cut the letters
i used to install plasma cutters i was at a shop that cut allot of expanded metal they would lay a sheet of 18 gauge sheet over it as a sacrificial piece and that would allow the plasma to cut
Yeah, I've done that, hate wasting it, but makes sense
Great job on the sign, but i am a little skeptical about the spray can paint standing up to the elements
Check out our reverse led lit arch sign video. One if those sits in full sun most of the day, it's been up for nearly 4 years, pa8nt is still great. It's about the primer and the number of coats.
AND this specific sign is hanging inside
Skills👍👍
You can do it on the plasma cutter with a pilot arc plasma cutter.
indeed. I haven't been impressed with the results on most systems
Awesome video which all of them have been. Pretty cool to see all the different methods put together. I’m fixing to open my shop up starting with cnc plasma so seeing your videos shows me it can be done. Keep them coming.
I’m in the process of finding a CNC for personal use. What CAD program would you recommend for someone who would use it a couple times per week?
Fusion 360 all day
Link for stud welder please?
Truweldstudwelding.com they have newer models now
lmao there is a way to cut expanded metal on the cnc plasma table i've done it and so have a few others. I seen a few of your videos and even talked to you in the cnc groups. But you have some nice project the only thing I see that you have not mention is vinegar dip soaking helps not having to grind as much it helps loosen up the dross & eats any mill scale or any kinda rust agent protection. But nice job on the videos.
Also the double sided tape we used that going on 6 years now it is nice but to tell the home audience how good it really is they use it to bond car fenders onto the chassis then bolts if you've ever worked on a car fender removing it you would know what I'm talking about, excellent stuff even for layered signage.
I make small key chains detailed with my cnc plasma table knowing your offsets and how to use them you can get the same detail as the small 3d printed letters you printed. I'm not being ugly just sharing some knowledge if i could post some of my work in key chains I've completed & I use a Bic lighter for scaling purposes I've had hundreds of people message me and asked if I used a laser on them and they are baffled how i do it with my cnc plasma table.
Yeah, there are ways to cut expanded. Sacrificial cover sheet or a machine with that setting. I do not want to the first and don't have the second. Vinegar works fine if you have the time, I generally don't want to wait on it. The problem with details isn't chugging them, it's the cleaning/finishing afterward, many ways to skin a cat
Hey Richard!!!!! No safety glasses when using stud welder and soldering !!!!
Lol
Looks awesome. I really like the lighting you use in a lot of your projects!
I love how humble you and Jessica are. I have seen many youtubers loose that when they gain popularity. Thanks for all the great tips on how to do stuff. I particularly like the sand trick. I see a lot of uses for that stud gun, and hope to buy one some day.
Thanks! The sand trick is one I'm proud of, check out Truweldstudwelding.com when you're ready to buy and tell them I sent you!
Nicely done! Cool to see you using the different materials and processes. Are you printing in PLA or something more heat resistant?
Petg here
Excellent!! Great presentation always 🙏
Do you paint or treat the back of your signs ever? If not, are you worried about rust?
Interior signs really just need a shot of clear coat, like this one had, exterior get the same treatment front and back
Another great vid!
Whats the desk you have in that office/work bench?
I built it, just a mdf top with poly on it
Great video 42 fab
Just got here from Reddit, definitely enjoyed the video.
Thanks
If you want to cut expanded metal on the plasma table, just stack a sacrificial 22-gauge sheet on top of it for constant contact.
Yep, one way, tho not cheap
@@42Fab
True, but if you've got a client with more money than time, it's the best way to do it fast.
I hope you're printing the letters in ABS?
Those were petg actually. It's interior so doesn't really matter anyway, but might as well
Beautiful!! Love to see Jessica work with you - you make a great team!
Hypertherm Powermax plasma cutters have an expanded metal mode specifically for those cuts.
Interesting. I'll have to research that cutting mode
Agreed. The Dynatorch I use also has pulse setting for expanded metal.
When gluing the studs to the other plastic parts you can try using acetone if it's ABS-plastic. Acetone will melt the ABS and it will practically combine into 1 part.
It was great watching the video by the way!
These were petg, going to steel studs
@@42Fab
Okej, just bought a roll of that I have still to try out. Is it easy printing with?
@@fog1257 it's about like abs
@@42Fab Thanks! Will need to stay with pla for a while longer then it seems.
Great video 👍
Talented !
Nicely done you guys.
Which kind of Cnc table do you have? I’m looking into buying my first one and would love your advice if you have time? Also I’m wanting to buy a metal brake. Should I get one that would do more than 16 gauge? The heaviest I will be bending is truck boxes.
this is a shop fabricobbled contraption. I am currently looking at replacing it. I'd get the most brake your wallet can afford. no matter what you get you'll want bigger.
42Fab - Metal Fabrication & Signage thank you very much for getting back with me. I’ve been trying to research what kind of plasma to get plus table. There are so many I’m just lost in it to be honest ha. Is there a certain one that you recommend? Or one I should stay away from?
Also lovin your channel by the way! Very helpful and as well as creative!
@@robertdominguez9841 stick around for a little while if you're not in a rush. I'm evaluating one now that looks very promising
42Fab - Metal Fabrication & Signage for sure. I’ve been trying to get all your videos watched as I can haha
Awesome job!!
Thanks
It’s. So. Beaaauutiful. Haha nice work!
