Thanks for watching
The most elegant cup holder ever!
Hey Ron
Indeed!
Legend
When Ron Covell compliments your work, you doing something
You know you've done a good job when the Godfather of metal fabrication drops a comment like this. Cheers Ron!
The first time I’ve ever heard anyone speak on a 6061 video and it’s the best thing said!
Add another one to the greatest hits playlist. Watching your process helps answer a lot of questions I haven’t even thought of to ask yet.
Also, I got TiG Button for Christmas and to anyone debating whether or not to make the investment, do it. You will have no Regrets.
Thanks for feeding us great content.
As an expert of all of humanity I have to say. You are the only youtuber that I have ever seen that have their priorities right. Thanks. Really enjoyed the video. Subscribed.
Once again, you don’t fail us on weld expertise, and entertainment!!!! Well done Aaron!! I’ve been debating on a TIG button from you. Thanks for the great videos!!
It was a game changer for out of position welding for me. Mainly upside-down roll cage work
Get the button, you will not regret it
I picked one up about a month or so ago; wish I'd done it sooner, and I don't even weld in awkward positions!
I have a hard time since I’m older to coordinate the foot pedal with my welding. I have to sit while I weld, so the foot pedal takes a front seat to what I’m welding, and sometimes it’s an inconvenience.
I use a tig button every day at work. Worth it. Super nice.
I stayed until the end just to see what ridiculous thing you fitted this too. I was not dissapointed. 😂😂😂
P.s that rotating table weld was pretty to watch.
Hands down one of your best videos yet
What ever we think he should be doing, Aaron is always one step ahead!
I love the trick of not trying to close the gap on initial tack. Gotta remember that one for my next aluminum job
Oh hell yeah, can't believe I just now got to this one--new favorite in the sixtysixtyone flavor. Bravo!
your cup holder is way more attractive than your motor car - excellent work!
Called it! =)
Every man needs a nice refreshing beverage, but what perfect companion for a chair like that, than a beer like that...
Please can we have a trailer worksop tour?
Excellent build, I especially liked the first filler tack for the tab. Thanks.
You sure you ain't a robot? How do you keep your hands from shaking? Badass work as usual.
Just never know what you'll see when you open a 6061 video lol
Simplesmente o melhor final de um vídeo sobre solda de todos os tempos!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Você subiu de nível, de um simples padawan para o cavaleiro Jedi do sofá sinistro.
Abraços do Brasil! 🇧🇷
That chair is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
Absolutely one of my favorite of your videos! When do we get a tour of the big rig?
Gonna be a couple more months probably... Still a work in progress.
So good. Your vids are the best mate. Cheers from Australia
Always a pleasure to watch your video's. Gotta get me a recliner like that! Nice cup holder too....👍
I remember thinking “what ever he’s making is super important and has to be perfect” I was absolutely right
6061 usted es la definición perfecta de quién es feliz y disfruta su trabajo 🤗
The damn motorized lazy boy at the end got me 🤣 I’m gonna make one in my lifetime
Did you notice how the dimes in the second half of the lap joint of the mounting bracket were spaced 1/64th of an inch further apart than the first half…. I can’t believe he would show that to the world 🙈
Very nice 👍🏻 🍻
I’d love to have a tour of that fab trailer. Awesome idea bro.
This is why my wife is mad at me for getting into welding, about $5,000 later and I’m making my own cup holder that I could buy for $25! 🤣🤣🤣💪🔥😎
Cool fitup at 4:56 where you closed that gap while arcing the torch to melt the bridge
Missed your longer format videos
The most impressive part of this is when he peels that plastic in gloves
Nice "welcome back" video!
Yes another video & always good videos. 👍
🤘SLAYER EVERYDAY 🤘
I prefer to place a 1/8" diameter dab of torque seal at the edge of the fastener as opposed to a bead across the entire head (as the instructions show). Much more pleasant to look at and still functions as intended
I second this !! At least don’t fill the drive hole of the screw !!
The ending just killed me😂👍
Part of me feels like I got trolled, but I'm definitely appreciate of the video.
What is the green stuff on the screw
Nice work
Wasabi
Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado , un magnífico soporte para vasos , gracias por compartir tanta creatividad y conocimientos , un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón , Galicia (España) 🤓 🛠️ 🔝
OMG I’m getting caught up on some old videos I missed. Forgot about this chair! 😂
I thought you were making a coffee cup until you milled those drain holes in the bottom. Very nice cup holder
Marking the screws was a nice touch.
Your videos definitely are helpful.
The ending was golden 🤣🤣🤣
I love your rig
What spray did you use to clean the aluminium at the end ?
I love these videos so much
The chair killed me😂😂
Nice work (as always). Im totally lost with the green stuff on the screws...
Nevermind, just looked it up. We use paint markers instead
Wow! The whole room goes up and down during bending!
Whenever I put my TIG torch over my legs, it usually burns though my pants, and I get a burn mark in my calf.
But I guess with training I can manage my pain 😂
Thanks for the video, and nice to show the rotary welding with the first few attempts !
This and I would like to add that whenever I don't wear long sleeves I get mad sunburn. Would like to see a comment answering how he does both things this way
@D C
-Turn torch away from leg
-Don't weld too long unsleeved if you are using high amperage. Put sleeves on or use sunblock.
His next project will be a tool holder to just drop it into.
Skillbilly living. Gotta love it.
Amazing Video! I really enjoy these
Hello,
You could have made a heart for Valentine's Day!
Im sure your reasoning makes sense but why didn't you just buy a piece of pipe? Is it like some weird dimension or what?
Well, this was the absolute daymaker man, Muchas Freakin Grassyass!!!! Please, listen to what Billy Idol says, and give us More, More, More. It doesnt have to be in the midnight hour or anything.
Nothing but awesome!
have a lil peek at the warning label on that witness seal tube.
Overbuilding like a Boss
Well done, thanks for sharing!
Is tig welding easier than mig? Seems like u have more control with tig
TIG gives you variability on-the-fly unlike any other way of doing it.
You be nutz!!!
Keep it up, bud!!!
Your Pal, Gary
Thanks for sharing machine settings this time 😀
Who did the welds on that cart?
Hello, what kind of Pen do you use?
Have you a link for me, Thank you .
I don't always fab a cup holder, but when I do, I make sure it is secure with torque-stripe.
Why was you putting the green stuff over the boat or not
Well I guessed wrong,like to know what kind of engine and exhaust is on that buggt,thanks for the video,always enjoy them🤗😎🤗😎
is your shop a refer trailer?
whats that green stuff? some kinda screw locker?

It's used so you can tell if fasteners are staying tight by a quick visual inspection. It's used a lot in aviation on critical fasteners that can't be loose. It's all over the place on helicopters.
Enjoyed the video! Nice work!
👍Awesome job as usual 👌
Great one!
Can you please share your knowledge about TIG tacking aluminum? 🙏
A lot of times you tack weld it without any filler rod... which aluminum alloys are good (or not) for it and what setting do you use for tacking?
Thanks s lot! ✊
If you pay attention he showed the trick he put a dab on the one side when he held it together he blended that dab in.
What’s the green goop?
amzn.to/3JscFpD
Yes make another beer 🍺 run...
Hi Sir I Am New Subscriber.
whats the green slime for?
Excellent !
Thannk's for the video!
Hey I guessed right! Nice cup holder!
i thought fusion welding aluminum was a no go? ive always heard it cracks if no filler is added
Depends on the type of aluminum and how strong it needs to be.
trying to figure out the green goo
love this guy
What is the weld machine you use
What color was it?
@@ShainAndrews Miller Dynasty, I assume the 350 or 450 model.
I’m convinced the gloves and face shield gag are a ruse to hide the fact that he’s an android. Damned fine dimes!
Awesome.. all you need now is a telescope and mount to check out those dark skies!!
What does the title mean
Hose clamp on that compass... someone else has discovered the disturbing lack of compasses that can hold a sharpie.
Muahahaha!🤣🤣 I love just the sound don't know but reminds me Snoopy in Charly Brown
That was a happy end. You just get dirt in your cup🤣
Que buen final!!!
wow..... just wow!
Just Great. 😎
cool car seat 😄😄😄😄😄👍👍👍👍👍
I saw a baseball hat brim - I call shenanigans.
just amazing :D
Super! 🖐️ 😀 👍
Love it.
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk the best
Awesome!
