Great job Mikala. Not a criticism but something I noticed at 8:38 you put on proud tacks and then flipped it over and clamped it down opening the gap and compromising the flatness slightly. I think it would have been wise to hang those tacks over the edge of the bench. Great to see a girl welding, keep it up.
@Mikala Eade Metalwork We’ve all been there! And tacked or welded something only to regret it 10 seconds later. I’ve got 5 grinders in the workshop so I’ve always got the right disc in one of them!
also what ive learned in my short welding career with aluminum boats you should not ever weld open gaps with aluminum i dont remember the exact reason what i was told but i think im not too far from right if i told you it has something to do with coming more contact with air it doesnt get enough shielding gas and weld goes to shit im sure google will have a better answer
@@ebogar42 Make yourself a bracket to hang them on the wall maybe. I have 2 hanging on the wall and 2 on top of my mig welder, plus 9 inch under the bench. I also change the power leads for longer ones so I can get around my large fabrications easy without changing sockets. 🇬🇧👍
Very nicely done Mikala , I have seen this made by 2 Apprentices once only they used black tube and a mig welder . I'm still working on my tig welding and happy with my progress. :)
You make Tig welding look easy Michaela. I spend more time grinding tungsten at the moment because I ball the tip (DC scratch start on mild steel) ....that said I really like the way Tig is so precise and clean. Thanks Michaela.
@Mikala Eade Metalwork No time? I think I did it two semesters and the shit still sucks and I'm dipping the Tungsten. I'm better on steel than aluminum. Aluminum I always burn through easily.
AHHHHH A cute project ..... BUUUUT in such an assembly when you clamp to a flat table you cannot/should not/ never-never turn it over and have it misaligned by the LUMPS of the tacks. You can put the tacks off the edge of the table or use spacer/shim pieces thicker than a tack bump. You can clearly see the distortion at each flip over and the clamps pulling and distorting. OK for an ornament.......BUT so easy to avoid. Yup all at 90 deg BUT no long straight edge was put across joints.
Mikala, Bravo and Cheers, very well done, clear descriptions, fantastic camera work.....great outcome, only one question, how many cups of Tea or Coffee do you drink in the morning, as you were flying.......Best wishes from across the Pond here in Florida, Paul
Looks great. I would do it slightly differently. I use a fab table, most of that would have been done in 2 passes. Saves time. Thanks for the dimensions, saves me figuring it out.
I doubt that being sealed would cause an issue with tube that big. it really only needs a vent for the last weld, and then that small vent gets sealed......becomes an issue with small spaces......
@Mikala Eade Metalwork But anyway it is perfectly explained and I took notes with drawings. Thank you for this vid. (and I'm glad that dimensions are in both units) :)
Awesome video very clear easy to understand instructions on infinity cube ! If I made mine 500 mm by 400mm instead of 400 by 300 would that still work the same ? Would there be too much gap and make it look funny ? I'm going to use 50 mm steel ! Any help appreciated thanks
first to Mils Garage.....congrats from another idiot who sometimes claims first from Ballynahinch.......Now I will watch what this is about...Bob probably had finger nails like mine.......Great to see a bit of attitude done quietly...... with decorum......Best of luck
Sorry to say, but welding has absolutely NOTHING to do with fashion, absolutely absurd to put on some fake nails, nail polish and all the jumbo stuff only for a Welding video... 😒

@@grumpyone5963 I wish I had room to carry many grinders. I hate switching shit out. I'll sometimes go from a grinding to cutting a lot.

Wow, when people talk in milimeters I have no idea whats going on. Thanks for putting the conversions! Great work and awesome build!
Credit the camera guy for adding those conversions.....cheers
Easy solution - just buy a metric measuring tape and follow the numbers. That's all.
Very nicely done Mikala , I have seen this made by 2 Apprentices once only they used black tube and a mig welder . I'm still working on my tig welding and happy with my progress. :)

Really well presented, Mikala! Finished product looks neat. Great work!
Well done , you got mad tig skills.
Love it look great ......
Awesome work. Good to see a decent tutorial on a infinity cube. I’ll make 1 when I actually learn how to weld
What kind of torch are you using, never seen one like that, it looks comfortable, tks
Excellent ! Thanks for all details about length !
Felicitaciones, exelente trabajo, saludos desde Santiago de Chile 👨🏻🏭💪
Wow, TIG welds are super clean!
For clean art, I would have wanted a chamfer on every weld.
Which isn't a fun bundle of work.
Edited, spell correct made it into changer?
Great looking cube, surprised that you fully welded out your joints before the whole cube was complete myself
Great tutorial! I've been wanting to make one of these, but much smaller
4:11 machine looks exhausted as do chair in the next cut :) great work! i miss the old guy but its ok ill live
She is definitely not Bob, but still better than other guys on this channel
What's happened to Bob, anyways? I haven't seen him for some time.
@@dementedpaintballer bob moffit?
@@dementedpaintballer bummer. He was my favorite.
Bob will be quest appearing I heard, he had some personal things that took a lot of time to deal with and took a break......
@@ypaulbrown prayin’ for ya Bob.
I think I'll make a tiny one from 15mm square profiles that I have laying around. Just for fun. I wonder if I'll manage to get my tig torch in there.
Escher is smiling at your build.

The painted fingernails and raw metal make a great combination.Fantastic work !
Bravo 👏 👏👏
Fantastic job, I’m going to have a go, a with a glass top for a garden table.
Send us a pic if you do it! We would love to see!
Nicely done!
Great instructional video Mikala you should consider a job in training 🤘🙌

great .Thanks for the complete explanation during the work👍
Great video fantastic skills full respect 👍👍👍
Good effort. I'd say given the criticism you've had so far, you'll nail the next one. Nothing a good hammering wont fix lol
Great work but how can you check if its square with welds in the inside corners !!
Great video. This girl can weld
She sure can! 👏🏼
cutie! good job
Thank you for the great work.
Nice fabrication, saved!
Excellent video, really well done 😁👌
Looks great! I’m baffled that you have virtually no tungsten stick-out, but it seems to be working nonetheless. Great work!
I'm just impressed you could get those nails in the gloves and manipulate the torch and filler...
Awesome job! I'm still a novice when it comes to aluminum. someday I want to tackle this project too
May I ask, what shade number you prefer your helmet to be at?
i must know now.
Awesome job! You’re a bad ass!
Looks great. I would do it slightly differently. I use a fab table, most of that would have been done in 2 passes. Saves time. Thanks for the dimensions, saves me figuring it out.
Good stuff 😌
I wonder what masters do when they reach fillet weld and realized it is not square?
Is it a problem that the tube is fully sealed? Should it be vented?
I doubt that being sealed would cause an issue with tube that big. it really only needs a vent for the last weld, and then that small vent gets sealed......becomes an issue with small spaces......
The ultimate woman!
8:40 if you flip over and put on your tacks than the profiles are not parallel to the table anymore.

Hope my comment make sense ! Basically I want to know if I'm using 50 mm steel also can I make this same exact thing but slightly bigger ! Over all ?
Way cool, young lady!
🔥🔥🔥
Looking super cute
would an infinity cube be possilbe to make with a mig welder?
If I wanted to make a coffee table out of 50 mm box tube but I wanted it 1 meter long what measurements would I need plz ?
Wow this good can u design for me one inform of a table with dimensions
I like that jacket 💖 Where did you get that? What kind is it?
What she thinks about marriage proposals??? 😍
First!!!
Great video but The sound is not good. Please do something in future videos.
I'm sorry I thought this was America!?!? What the hell is a millimeter lmao, just kidding great video
sounds like a didgeridoo when shes welding😂

You can tell shes not a real welder because her fingernails are too nice. Aint no real welders with nails that pristine
Anyone know how to calculate these measurements?
How to find tig welding apprentice anyone help me?
post in the forum and one of the advisors will help weld.com/forum
What is ALUMINIUM? Aluminum???
Very beautiful actress i mean model i mean welder yeah what ever
Girl you need to get a vice
Part A, Part B, Part C. WTF!? This is SOOO confusing! GD!!
Ruff welds practices more .
You need to improve on your welding thanks
Sorry to say, but welding has absolutely NOTHING to do with fashion, absolutely absurd to put on some fake nails, nail polish and all the jumbo stuff only for a Welding video...
