    That opening was amazing! I enjoy your content partly to learn about stuff that I really don't have much opportunity to do, but the entertainment value is also fantastic.

    My grandpa and I used to harvest aluminum the same way back in the 70’s. But of course we used mules. Ahh, brings back good memories.

    You have absolutely outdone yourself man!!! Perfect way to kill some time between last nights SX (Sexton got freakin LAUNCHED!!!!) and the 500 today. I had to watch a couple times to see how you were riding the one wheel thingie backwards, that was brilliant. The chainsaw snag was also quite impressive. You may not be able to top this video!

    Hi Aaron .. great as always .. every time you publish a new video I remain glued to the screen ... tig balance for passion and also for many years ... see you at work and too beautiful and instructive ... you never stop learning especially in this sector .... However, you are a real artist in what you compliment ... passion comes from within and you can see hello from Massimo (Italy)

    One nice thing about welding in Arizona is to pre-heat we just put the product outside for an hour and you'll need gloves to pick it up.

    The "heat the tack while you straighten the joint" trick is slick! I'm going to add that to my bag of tricks. I don't think I'm going to buy a chainsaw for cutting aluminum however.

    I’m late to the party here. But what grit is that belt grinder that you don’t just annihilate the aluminum when you’re deburring? Cuz I was gifted a belt grinder. I have no idea what grit the belt is but it will eat steel like candy.

    What a nice aluminum welding job! Not many these days it seems that can weld aluminum so cleanly, Ha half the kids today can't weld that "weld" period it seems lol! I wonder how much that mobile truck setup goes for LOL my gawd!

  • @mattpatton1983
    @mattpatton1983 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I want that tig button but I’m curious about how much pressure it takes to control it. Slight? Moderate? My thought it if I’m gripping my torch to tight it’s gonna cause me to shake

  • @newmonengineering
    @newmonengineering 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I could be wrong but for me welding thin walled small diameter tubing is thr hardest thing to weld it seems. With the radius very small it's very hard to work the puddle around it. But I haven't done a ton of welding either just some small things.

      At 14:27 ... It's called "Plasti-Dip" and comes in both dip cans and spray cans. Intended as a product to repair/replace handles on pliers, garden equipment etc. Available at Harbour Freight, Lowes, Home Depot etc. (I am not affiliated in any way to this product, video, or stores mentioned.)

      If your part is clean, you can have a good weld without impurities ;)

    I'd like to see Jody try out the Tig Button. Do y'all not communicate? There's ZERO on it at his channel. He tested some other torch control thingy 13 years ago. The button looks ten times better. There used to be a computer mouse (pointer) replacement--"porta point" that worked similarly--kinda like the red eraser button IBM used to stick in the middle of the keyboard.
