Yes I have 20 years in. There is times you do things and surprise yourself. Or you share your skills you’ve learned over a decade ago that you haven’t done for so long. I feel like you see the world in a different perspective as a welder and fabricator. Outside the box with open mind as a problem solver.
Been a rig welder since 85 and I know I haven’t forgotten anything in the last 10 minutes. ALMOST forgot, those vevor mag drills are excellent for the money
I worked at machine shop for around 7 years i got to do this kinda stuff sometimes. Knew how to stick weld mig and tig but had never welded aluminum tig and bosses friend had 100 thousand horse trailer i had to cut holes in top and put in air ducks in to keep his hores cool on long trips. With 10 mins practice learned how to tig aluminum. Working at machine shop you had to learn a lot.
I have been in the welding trade for over 45 years now! It’s all I have ever done. Personally I have probably forgot 1/2 of what I have done in my career! That’s why I still learn something everyday! 😉
My pops is 73 this yrs and is still doing millwright work since he was 18, his most famous comment is I forgot the first time I did it, but we'll make do this time🤦🤣🤣🤣
My grandfather was in his early 70s when he died of cancer. They had to get him out of the mills and barrel making plants but he been a plant boy working in plants since 18 cherish your pop big dawg 😎 lord knows what he been through at that age in this lines of work.Not a day go by with me welding landscaping or doing carpentry that I don't think bout that crazy creole dude!
“”Is it common to forget things we learn, and to continue to think that we’re learning them for the first time”. Austin, each time this happens it further solidifies your professional knowledge. I know it wasn’t so complicated just the mag drill handle that’s able to be taken off. But your mind is just -that- more solidified. That’s what it is. To learn everyday, to solidify proven knowledge.
Making sure all four nuts visually match is giving the job that extra touch for a first class weld! To quote a favorite uncle, “it only costs a nickel more to Go 1st Class!” Tim in northern TN
Matching flat spots, it’s easier said you take pride in your work! Remember us trades people were enough is a big thing. What sets us aside from the next person is our fit and finish.
After 36 years from being onthe firing line to chasing shut downs threr is a lot of things i have forgot only to remember like oh yes i have done that back in 1990 lol😂
Great job. First hole drilled was 1 minute 38 seconds. Total all 6 minutes and 35 seconds. How do you like that vevor mag drill? I'm thinking about getting one.
Is that a Jackson welding hood? My Dad had one from back in the day and I used it in my welding shop early on, weighed a TON!!! I mess up and left it on the back of my truck one day and lost it..... Hate it still to this day...
aesthetically pleasing to see the consistency in bolt placement. We would say in the medical world. Keep up the good work. Just saw I am no longer subscribed. I'll fix that.
After welding for over 50 years watching the streaming, I have been there a time or two but have only been stick. Own the new technology but is hard to put trust in it other than stick.
Hi Austin, if I may, I have some of question for you: - would a 2 pass weld with 1/8" 7018 have been possible? - would it have been quicker? - could you have tacked in place the nut with an easier to start rod (6010, 6013) and still made a good job? Thanks for your time making the videos! Sart0
I've been eyeing that mag drill for a minute, do you know if it will work on straight DC power or does it need ac to operate? Also some anti spatter spray can save those bolts or any springs and small parts when you run into that.
i would like to know the drill bit you were using. i have tried using a 1/2' drill with a regular drill bit for 5/8" for drilling a hole in a post for gate hinges and i just get mad and break out the old cutting torch and just burn the hole in it
Hey man, iI watch a lot of your stuff and try to find the tips. Im 24 have 2 college welding classes, but finance wise struggling to pay for for a whole course for a certificate. Ang tips for a young guy with welding tools and a welder to break in the field with no weldinh certificate. Ive been actively building a trailer rig. Just thought id ask.
It’s a vevor brand. For no more than I use a mag drill it’s been working for me. I normally would not have bought such a cheap brand, but I was in a bind.
Indexing your nuts? I'm guessing the word/phrase you're looking for is...OCD. :-) Good job btw, keep up the great content. I've have to get to bed, I have a weld test tomorrow morning.
Great, you made it work again, for now. Did you address the Actual problem? The problem was, as I understand it, NO way to lubricate it. I saw no grease zirks, no oil cups, ect... Why did you Not address the Actual problem??? Seems like a Patch. Just saying
We greased the threads very generously. As to ware the factory 20 years ago, probably just put barely any barely ever used so therefore it was just a recipe for season up anyway.
The flat spot trick is 100% attention to detail. It stands out to people that understand quality.

Attention to detail, definitely a skill to the trade that’s rare now days. Looks good
Great repair and rebuild, you don't cut corners on your work, THAT"S AWESOME. Quality work , thanks for sharing with us. Stay safe, Fred.
How did he address the Greatest problem, can't lubricate it???

Austin Ross is an awesome guy....true welder
Continuity is always pleasing to the eye, and will make the customer recommend you to someone else.

Always nice to watch your videos, keep up the good work Austin !

Good job Austin 👍👍
After 36 years from being onthe firing line to chasing shut downs threr is a lot of things i have forgot only to remember like oh yes i have done that back in 1990 lol😂
I started welding in 1991, I don't remember everything I do either ...lol
Great job. First hole drilled was 1 minute 38 seconds. Total all 6 minutes and 35 seconds.
How do you like that vevor mag drill? I'm thinking about getting one.
I don’t have any welding experience, but I know early senility; whenever I hear it! You just have a bad memory Austin. 😂🎉😅
That's a really cool drill, I'll have to check that out!
Good work, as always. I enjoyed the video.
And i also forget things all the time. Never fails. Its like Christmas all over again lol
nice work young man!
I call it being a professional and attention to detail.... Those things are what separates the novices from the professionals..
Is that a Jackson welding hood? My Dad had one from back in the day and I used it in my welding shop early on, weighed a TON!!! I mess up and left it on the back of my truck one day and lost it..... Hate it still to this day...
nice job
How bout a little tutorial on how you made your tent stake?
aesthetically pleasing to see the consistency in bolt placement. We would say in the medical world. Keep up the good work. Just saw I am no longer subscribed. I'll fix that.
Right about 30 seconds of actual drilling on the first hole. I thought it was really good.
I try to watch all the welding topic channels on TH-cam.... Things are ... different, in Oklahoma...
Just like a doctor "practices" medicine were always practicing our trade of welding and fabrication!
After welding for over 50 years watching the streaming, I have been there a time or two but have only been stick. Own the new technology but is hard to put trust in it other than stick.
Have you ever used spot weld nuts with the internal alignment shoulder to square to the drill hole?
Ball park number you charged for a job like this? Matching all the parts is what I like to call craftsmanship
Hi Austin,
if I may, I have some of question for you:
- would a 2 pass weld with 1/8" 7018 have been possible?
- would it have been quicker?
- could you have tacked in place the nut with an easier to start rod (6010, 6013) and still made a good job?
Thanks for your time making the videos!

I am wondering as to what you think about that Vevor mag drill?
What about a grease fitting? Can that work
I've been eyeing that mag drill for a minute, do you know if it will work on straight DC power or does it need ac to operate? Also some anti spatter spray can save those bolts or any springs and small parts when you run into that.
Mag drills probably one of the quickest returns on investment you can make. Amount of time saved will pay it back in 2 or 3 jobs.
How you like the vevor drill seriously? I have a few of their things, wagons, whatever and im actually happy with them lol
Flat spot: "Aesthetics"
It’s FRIDAY!!!
Bon Boulo 😆😆👍👍
"Aesthetic Detail" the sign of a competent/Master 🫡
i would like to know the drill bit you were using. i have tried using a 1/2' drill with a regular drill bit for 5/8" for drilling a hole in a post for gate hinges and i just get mad and break out the old cutting torch and just burn the hole in it
Austin....it's early signs of Alzheimer's HiHi!!!!...remember you were going to send me some free ARoss swag??? Love your vids!
What auto lens do you have there? I have had some bad luck with some of the auto lenses I have tried recently.
Wow do I see Vevor mag drill?

Which Vevor mag drill are you using? Anything you'd like different? I'm in the market for one. Thank you
those bolts will egg shape the inside tube from over tightening i always put 2 3/4 rods through to keep from egging
What model is the mag drill you’re using and would you recommend it?
Thanks
It’s a vevor brand. For no more than I use a mag drill it’s been working for me. I normally would not have bought such a cheap brand, but I was in a bind.
I've been cooking for 20 years same thing happens to me
18 years experience here, and I forget the little things all the time, but I’ve taken a lot of blows to the head so I may not be a great example😂
LOVE the videos, in my humble opinion I recommend not using gloves while running the mag drill. God forbid you have an accident and get degloved.
Ah , the sun , what a great problem to have

"pro tip" Austin
Why do you have an "ARoss" Welding paper tag on your Truck ?
so you can't see his licence plate...
It's very readable at 51 seconds ! You can see it's has tears in the paper !
Slamma jamma
It is known as alzheimers, also I try to put the magnet on the uphill side so it doesn't get as much cutting oil on it.
8.45…. You need more white shirts in your close. You’re getting low on supplies…
