Wow thanks for the great info. I am on to my next chapter in life and really want fabricate aluminum like you. I think I will buy your course and start obsessing over the techniques
i joined his website and my welds are phenomenal !! It is very simple as long as you follow his directions to the letter. One 5tip i will give anyone is you must be in a comfortable position to do great welds. Once i achieved this my welds are 90% like his. Also ditch the pedal and get the tig button, its a back saver !!!
Thanks for another great video Aaron. I learn from everything you put out here. $45.00 is bad cheap for the knowledge you share and that tig button....That's a friggin game changer right there. I love that thing !!
Nice sir! new things added on my knowledge. though i don't really weld thick Alu. most of the time i weld 1.5-5mm thick Alu i learn stuff here also by watching your videos. Thank Sir.
I'm running a 225x with the watercooler and flex-loc water-cooled torch with welding aluminum I've been running mine at 200hz for welding turbo tubes and anything up to 1/8 thickness I find it easier to get in there and get it done before I heat it up to much. Would that something like you would do? Or am I looking at possible failures in my welds? Thanks for the update and great content enjoy your channel always good info... 😊😊😊
Aaron, thanks for putting all these videos together. Are you planning on updating and/or adding more videos to the Educational Library as time goes on, or is it complete at this point? Thanks.
I will guarantee that the $45 will give you more education than any other welding training you could possibly get from TH-cam. My investment in the training, time and materials allowed me to make 500x in my first 6 months. Trust me when I say it made me very very good with aluminum welding projects.
I have to do a test for a qualification at work. It’s an aluminum fillet. 6x6 .060 base plate to a .025 top plate. No burn through or suck back permitted and lack of fusion in the root can’t be greater than .003. If you can do a video on that and how you’d weld it that’d be great 😂
Always try to weld in a well ventilated area with fresh air. If that's not an option, there are expensive welding hood systems available with a fresh air supply. I have an exhaust fan in my shop that pulls air/smoke out above my welding table. I crack the window at the end of my shop to let in fresh air.
6061....building big doors where i work....4043.......print called out plug welds....you should make a video about getting correct penetration while performing a plug weld.
I have the same welder and have done a fillet in the past and could not get a puddle to form. I tried pre heating and just heat soaking, went up in tungsten size, tried different grind angles, different cup sizes, adjusting frequency, ac balance, Nothing seemed to work. It was an 8ft piece of 3/8 aluminum angle that i was welding a piece of 1/4 flat bar to. Couldn't puddle on the angle to save my life...
@nathancole8188 Please email me with the exact dimensions of the aluminum angle (leg lengths), and exactly where you were trying to weld the 1/4" flat bar.

Pure artistry. Man, you never cease to amaze me.

Nice to hear you finally. Havent been on in a long time. Back in the day you never spoke.
Just have to say it, man you’re awesome! I can’t believe how many different things you can do with your Tig welder. Truly amazing!
Nice sir! new things added on my knowledge. though i don't really weld thick Alu. most of the time i weld 1.5-5mm thick Alu i learn stuff here also by watching your videos. Thank Sir.
Loved your comment about freaking out over not full penetration, so often like you said, it depends on what your making!
Welding cans together seems like a great idea for free practice. Thanks!
Awesome channel and the work you put in to help the next guy learn the trade! Well done to you sir. 👍
I don't weld and have never tried but it definitely looks like a fine art and I love watching your videos ✌️
Love from the UK ✌️
Excellent work... Thanks for sharing.
Damn good welder, thanks for inspiring us buddy

Please email me with suggestions if you have any.
Thanks you . Looking forward to practicing your techniques.
Crispy glove territory. Very nice.
Always great to see your content. Thanks!

Only 500k, I made 1 mil

Email me the specifics through the website. Metal type, etc...
Great video as always!!!
Please tell us about lung and respiratory protection when TIG welding aluminum, stainless steel and steel!
I understand this is a newbie question :)

@@6061 we use 2091 filters for a 3m mask since our company cannot afford expensive hoods.
What's your power source for your welders? Aren't you operating out of a semi truck? Ive always wondered since you "moved"

Super great ad Arron . I'm in Brother . :)
When do you prefer to use a mix gas when welding with aluminum?
When the weld cools did it open up the angle between the parts to greater than 90?
When sealing parts are welded, do you get it right the first time?
Nice 👏 😊
Beautiful
what about porosity at the beginning and tack joints?
Would this work if you’re right handed?
Are you using the 225 with water cooler or without?
Without. Just using an air cooled torch in this video to replicate exactly what he was using.
👌
Will your Tig button work on my Andeli Tig 250pro?
No, sorry. The list of compatible machines is on the bottom of this page:

Did you pre-heat the material?
No

Хотел бы у вас обучиться, но языковой барьер проблема.😭

Not being funny but all you showed was the back of your hand.
