@@kurtmueller2089 so that's what I've been doing for donkey ears. I think it helps define the problem and anticipate questions that I would need to answer.
"You ever get that feeling like you've just taken that first step down the path of 'Just don't go there'? Yeah so, this feels like one of those. But, fortunately for us magnificent creatures, countless millions of years of evolution have seen fit to embue us with the ability to completely ignore that instinct." This has to be one of the greatest quotes I have ever encountered, true wise words and the summary of anyone with a "crazy idea" - and everything we use in life started out as a crazy idea.
Tony I see there are seventeen people that were not amused by this video... me on the other hand spent more time laughing than listening!!!! I think you are a brilliant guy truly, and your jokes and silly comments make my day everytime!! don't stop!!!! Razor!
I was hoping to see this culminate in an actual welded 3D print of the world's saddest Utah Teapot or something, but this was still a lot of fun to watch. Also amazing to see how much your video production has refined in the last four years.
Tony, I've never used your name before but it may be important at this point. In our totally anonymous and mostly sarcastic plane of interaction... I love you Man, if you need to talk I'm here for you... LOL. Outstanding Frankentraption, you need an award Sir! Thanks for letting me watch, out of the flux field.
Man you made a great breakthrough at the end. Coming to the realization that it’s weird to be in your basement answering your own questions is a real step forward in the self integration process. Great video.
Great vid. I worked with lathe and robot welders in a previous life. For a dedicated single weld like pipe the CNC is obviously unneeded but a cool 1st attempt. Repetively welding complex shapes with multiple attachments is where your setup would shine. Shortening the stickout will help control weld position. The long wire is heating up and wandering. Then dial in the wire feed rate to control the bead width. You might try stopping and starting the weld between layers to allow cooling. Stopping the weld would also allow air blast cooling. D**n now I really want a cnc machine. 😈
In the end and should you persist with this project, you've basically created a Metal 3D Printer. Yes, TIG would be more complex but only as far a tuning is concern, as the rod feeding side can use similar hardware and that used for filament in Plastic 3D Printers. Ideally you would use a 5 axis type robotic arm as start 3D printing a bridge for instance and but a 6 axis on a motorised trolley on rails and off you go. The example of 3D printer on rail project is not mine but basically and theoretically have achieved more than 50% of it already, so well done on another great experiment. I wish you were my neighbor, we would have so much fun together.
Since this is ultimately an FDM process, it'd be really cool to see a revisit on this one where you use slicer software in place of whatever CAM package you were using before. It might help to get some time on a plastic FDM printer first, however.
If you really want to over complicate things, Im pretty sure you can watch the voltage drop in the welding circuit when you have too much stickout. So you could probably try to program that into your machine so that it automatically adjusts for stickout when the voltage drops too much.
Awesome video. I like your dry humor. When making the last weld, the stickout was still too long (aim for 0.5") and wirespeed was too slow. If you hear it stuttering like it was, it is burning the wire up to the nozzle tip and doesn't arc again until enough wire comes back out. Turning up the wire speed a bit will make sure you have a constant arc.
I know it was a year ago, but mig should sound like constantly frying bacon the whole time. Also need to keep the nozzle close for gas coverage. Mig is exactly like tig with automated wire feed.
Or the opposite is true if you want to spray weld a shank and build it up with a smooth thin layer. Getting a spray weld dialed in can be a little cumbersome but there are times it can come in very handy. Especially when you only need a few thou leaving less to grind down later.
Tony, your videos are a great start to my day. Thanks for all the laughs and your efforts to put together a project that you most likely will never use.
This was cool.... now for your next cnc welding project, get rid of that pesky wire feed and build a cnc "arc" welder. I would love to see the cnc feeding the rod in and making little patterns while inching forward slowly. Now that would just be too cool haha. Great video man, keep making em.
I had to laugh "easy to see how that could rival most plasma cutters ability to turn steel into scrap. You are a genius. When I read your header I thought sintered metal.
This has become my favourite channel! I know this video is old, but I'm binge-watching your videos, lol. Seriously though you're golden, I love what you do, much respect from NorCal.
Sicko.... Please continue.... THAT was cool. Now you got me thinking of converting my Koike optical tracing cutting table to welding.... Ummm....! Thanks Tony...!!!
Enjoyed!!....funny as my thoughts went to your son and what his life will be with your creative talents and great twisted mind! He will (is) be a lucky lad!
Cool, I do enjoy your presentation technique/style/humour. 3D MIG machine, why not? I'd bet there are companies/research establishments trying to perfect one as we speak! Keep them coming.
Id being watching your channel, following your non-prints CNC proyect , naive but brave . I hope that you're happy with the results for my part, I'll tell you it was a joy and am thankful for finding you work.... Very cool
It’s no more weird than us sitting here watching ya and saying out loud too ourselves “ yep ! I answer myself all the time out in the garage by myself” lol, Thanks for sharing.
Having the 4th axis table set you had the perfect opportunity to try welding a thread on that piece of pipe. You have to set everything again. One day I thought "is it possible to weld a threat out on a lathe". And you were so god damn close to answering this question.
Pretty dang spiffy I must say, pretty dang spiffy! Glad to see you isolating your components and not boning yourself when goofing around, so I guess that makes up for having to talk to yourself just to have an intelligent conversation, LOL! Thanks for the show, Aloha...Chuck
i love your videos! they are the most entertaining videos on youtube. just out of personal curriosity i would love to see the tattoos you have on your arms. please keep the awesome videos coming, i cant get enough of them!
Great job, I love your added sense of humour. I was watching the start bit waiting for the spindle to slip, as it has for me a few times ( because I'm a slow learner) and you didn't disappoint. Thanks for the laugh
like those circles mate... pretty modern arty.. like robot buttholes or summat... the guy who taught me to weld had me welding straight up from the metal... makes u have good torch control also a good thing to stop spatter is a gas torch with a yellow flame and put soot on the parts u want to keep safe... cheap too... great vids...keep em coming...
I thought that was great.. If you know 3D milling, you can figure out how to get that down pat.. I think you'd have to find several stopping points to let it cool or something,, you'd just have to learn the ins an outs of it.... I have a homemade cnc router and a MIG.. but, I glad to see you prove it out first. Nice Video..
On watching this video I have come to realize that what I like about your content is that it is a little off the norm - like me in most cases. Subbed and liked. In the immortal words of the Term, I Will Be Bach.
It's only as weird as me chuckling to myself whilst watching this on my own in my workshop! If I could subscribe again I would. Keep up the "interesting" work.🙂
I think the things you are doing are fantastic. Simply marvelous. I would try the welder on an arm instead of the CNC. Maybe you could build a machine that cuts, welds, grinds and brushes. Oh hell if you could come up with one that diapers a baby I will gladly buy one
The wire brush on the CNC cracked me up.
+Practical Engineering Me too :D
where can i buy the brush attachment?
CNC parts get polished by a brush in the spindle all the time
Hello Grady! I'm so glad to see you on this channel. It might not be very "practical" but you should cover some machining concepts in your channel.
Haha yeah even before that the welding tip rotated with the sound of a stepper motor :D
It’s not weird to ask yourself questions, alone, in the garage. Sometimes you need expert advice, and really, who else has that expertise?
That is actually called "Rubber ducky debugging" in Software Development: Explain what you are trying to do to a rubber duck, this very often helps to find the error in the code.
As my father always said, "gotta talk to someone with some sense once in a while". :)
what are you talking about welding isn't rocket science but trial and error
@@kurtmueller2089 so that's what I've been doing for donkey ears. I think it helps define the problem and anticipate questions that I would need to answer.
Precisely! On demand expert advice lol.
There's something about you that's not quite right. This appeals to me greatly.
+indoorherbivore , i agree with you..that's why i subscribed.
+indoorherbivore he's like 3° off normal
+Alex Horne of course he's not normal, he's an engineer.
boy is this ever the truth!!! He's got me too....
Some bromance going on here?

Quill Maurer Yes; I've often had that very feeling.
However, I've also found some very nice oil & gas pools by pushing past it.

Thanks Razor, 'appreciate that!
Loved the "5th axis" tilting the torch into position.
Methinks it was hand driven with a stepper motor note superimposed ;-)
I noticed that too! Haha
I laughed at that too
spot on :)
thats an undocumented feature.
It was the cybernetic right hand, the one with liquid nitrogen flowing through its veins 😉
My wife gave me a funny look because I laughed out loud when I saw the wire brush tool. great video!
Thanks!
You give the word 'hobbyist' a whole new meaning.
Talking to myself more often than not constitutes the best advice available at any given time.
I was hoping to see this culminate in an actual welded 3D print of the world's saddest Utah Teapot or something, but this was still a lot of fun to watch. Also amazing to see how much your video production has refined in the last four years.

You could combine cooling air through a coolant pipe with your ground wiper
4:29 That little whistle bit cracked me up xD Also got you another sub. ;)
I laughed so hard I woke up my wife... And then couldn't stop for like 5 mins. Best laugh I have had in a long time!!! I think I rewound it 10 times.
same. subbed for the whistle.
Hah Me too! xD Watched it many more times and laughed harder all the time. Time to wipe my eyes and continue watching. ='D
I died! LOL
@@reh3ddoes Me too, fucking ace, nearly spat my beer out hahaha
This old guy has all the coolest tools 🔧
You ever get that feeling that ToT's version of DIY and your version of DIY are not quite in-sync? No? Just me then? OK...
Is there a such thing as pro DIY? Or DIY (where things work out a disproportionate amount of time)
@@djstringsmusic2994 ProIY
I don't know what a good weld looks like but I know what funny is. And that was funny!
Very entertaining.

once again great show. You are the best shade tree machinist that TH-cam has to offer
You're enjoying yourself and learning at the same time- nothing wrong with that. Thanks for showing your work.

Тони очень веселый человек! Это дефицитное качество у настоящих мастеров. Отличное видео!
Brilliant Tony! I love proof of concepts, they are like little gateways to something spectacular down the road. Entertaining and well done.
If you really want to over complicate things, Im pretty sure you can watch the voltage drop in the welding circuit when you have too much stickout. So you could probably try to program that into your machine so that it automatically adjusts for stickout when the voltage drops too much.
Just browsing TH-cam and I see some guy hooking his MIG gun to a CNC table and I'm like...Who the hell would... Oh it's TOT
Somewhat new and nothens made me more excited to watch! Please Please Please do more more lots lots lots more
My favorite YT channel. Thanks for all the wisdom sir. I also appreciate the vocabulary lesson within each episode.
The dry delivery of your videos always makes the humour catch me off guard.
Love the videos!

Also, the angle of the weldgun relative to the rotation of the work piece will affect the weld.
I know it was a year ago, but mig should sound like constantly frying bacon the whole time. Also need to keep the nozzle close for gas coverage. Mig is exactly like tig with automated wire feed.

The first 40 seconds of your video make me incredibly happy... Now I know : I am not the only one...
The Schaublin whistling is one of my favorite TOT jokes of all time.

Who knows, maybe I'll accidentally make something useful.

I really expected you to weld "thanks for watching" on some steel. Such an easy missed opportunity! Love the videos, keep 'em coming!
really enjoy the videos. the combination of engineering and humor is great
I love this old guy weird ways of combine his stuff

Another awesome video. Definitely in tune with your dry humour!
Your sense of humor!!! oh my goodness. Thoroughly enjoyed
Dude! You do the coolest stuff, in the most entertaining way. Thanks!
damn, I'd love to spend a couple years learning all this "hands on" with you Tone. this information is amazing.
Youre a funny guy old tony, you sound exactly like Alan Alda. Entertaining and informative.
You sir, are just about a total mad scientist! I love it!
a lot of youtube videos are stupid and useless so I am always delighted to see something like this !!
Excellent idea and even better realisation !!
Thank you imbrica!
Re-visiting this fun episode in 2021. Still good! Of course, the appreciative whistle from the Schaublin is still the very best bit. 👍
It’s no more weird than us sitting here watching ya and saying out loud too ourselves “ yep ! I answer myself all the time out in the garage by myself” lol, Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. Very inspiring & motivating. Things like this help change/progress our world.
Very enjoyable video. Love your humor!
I hope you'll do a video showing your 3d printer that makes such good tubing and flat plate!
Haha, your banter is on point! I do not regret subbing to your channel.
Having the 4th axis table set you had the perfect opportunity to try welding a thread on that piece of pipe. You have to set everything again. One day I thought "is it possible to weld a threat out on a lathe". And you were so god damn close to answering this question.
Clever! I plan on doing a follow up.. I might give that a try.
How do I do the nut?
Yeah, the nut is the thing I still haven't figured out. I don't think it matters tough, it won't screw on whatsoever, so why even bother :p
woow, very good info, Very funny when the brush cleans after the welding of the pipe is done. thx for sharing stuff like this.
Weird or not , it was interesting and it was an idea that I hadn't even thought of before. Thanks for the idea.
brilliant proof of concept, love the mind warping process

You is the man Mr Tony! Really surprising how good the welds were - if you had 20K to play with I bet you'd come up with something pretty useful.
this was seriously entertaining and informative. my favorite kind of video!
did he just say that he 3d printed the pipe?
And the plate.

Thanks!
like those circles mate... pretty modern arty..
like robot buttholes or summat...
the guy who taught me to weld had me welding straight up from the metal...
makes u have good torch control
also a good thing to stop spatter is a gas torch with a yellow flame and put soot on the parts u want to keep safe...
cheap too...
great vids...keep em coming...
Very Very cool idea! And that robo whistle totally had me laughing! hahahah
Very nice work. And greetings from Africa
