2nd time I've seen that one in the last few months. Great tip both times. Dirt Lifestyle (Nate) posted it in his "19 Metal Fabrication Tips and Tricks". Love the idea. Both videos filled with great tips.
An old machinist showed me to stick a countersink bit in a file handle and use that as a deburring tool and it's now one of my favorite tools in the shop

Drilling out gas lens. Was not aware they are all the same center piece. Good tip
A bonus tip is to never hold the work piece with your bare hand while drilling. A bit that grabs will spin it like a razor, and slice your hand before you can even see it.

Instead of only one 5" grinder, keep two, one with a cutting disc and one with a grinding disc. Both ready and no time for changing discs, pluss you wear both of them out completly before changing. Saves money and time Keep up the channel 😎

haha two? I have like five.... cutting wheel, cubitron II fiber abrasive disk, flap wheel, wire cup, and wire straight. A mix of both electric and air (to get speed control with electric is expensive. air gives speed control for much less money). But yeah, I get that most weekenders don't have the budget for all that.

Need at least 3 I think even if they are just cheap ones. One for cutting, grinding and a flap disc. If you do any amount of metal work just one doesn't cut it.
Definitely coming back to this one for sure! This vid is going to blow up!
Helpful...Thank you Subscribed! The Sharpie idea...I laughed after you showed it and your expression at the end. I will certainly be using these tips in my shop, well, maybe not the tin snip nail clippers. Despite owning a tubing notcher, I am going to give the manual notching a try. I love to learn new stuff... Cheers!!!
2:03 if you use a piece of copper instead of a scrap piece of steel to ball you tungsten you're less likely to contaminate it. I use an old piece of buss bar out an old electrical panel.

Cutting aluminum with a cutoff wheel just apply some dove soap every now and then when you feel the wheel not performing as well. This also works for soft-back and flapper wheels to keep the aluminum from clogging up the paper. If you need to have well rounded corners on your edge to edge aluminum welds a router does wonders (carbide teeth) just don’t forget to scrape a bar of dove down the edge beforehand, keeps the aluminum from sticking; washes off nicely too.......so on and so forth. Good video.

Another good tip. To sharpen tungsten electrodes I put them in my cordless drill chuck to grind them perfectly while spinning the tungsten at the correct angle. I also have a container of water to dip them in to keep them cool. I also use a semi wet rag (not dripping wet)to wrap my Tig torch head after a few welds to keep it from over heating. It will last a lot longer. Of course I keep my gloves dry not to get shocked.

I welded with a syncrowave 300 with a water cool torch. I went through at least 2 torches a year in a 5 year period. I welded 6061T6 .049/.065 tubing to evaporation plates for refrigeration production for the marine industry. I had to use a short back cap with gas lenses set up for limited positioning space. The heat deteriorated the components after continues use.

Cool to see you can just drill a gas lens out to suit the tungsten. Will give that too a go tomorrow when I’m back in my shed!
Good job here. Your subs are growing fast!
I know this is an old video but , here's my insight . I'm an industrial pipefitter , we just always bought 1/8" collet bodies and gas lenses that way they were always big enough for any smaller sized collet. Great tips , just found the channel.
I watched till the end.. My favorite was the tubing notcher...I have one at my shop, but not at my home shop, I almost skipped it cuz i thought i got a tubing notcher.. then i saw how easy that was and shit i could have done that on the gate i built at home.... thank you !! and I subscribed..

I just subscribed, I sold my Marine business my home and all of my marine parts in Md and moved my wife and son to Statesville to follow my life long dream of fabricating for a race team since I had already built five of my own dirt cars and raced them but that was in 2008 and now I'm 56 years old and pretty much retired other than a few side jobs here and there but I'm still tinkering with something in my shop every night and that's why I think that you are alright because you have already done what I wanted to do and you are doing what I used to do. We have to hook up sometime and have a chilly 🍻
Favourite for me was, No. 1, tube notching. I dont own a TIG so they were of no use to me. As for trimming nails I use side cutters, also known as diagonal cutters, depending of area.
I'm adding tin snips to our medicine cupboard... sick of those naff nail snippers. Great content man, keep it up.

The only one I did not know was the fingernail clipper with tin snips but my nails are always too short to use tin snips as I have a dozen toe nail clippers around the house and keep mine clipped short. I hate to get a fingernail bent backwards catching on something in the shop as that hurts like crazy.

Balling your tungsten is best done on a piece of copper plate with a high frequency arc starter, controlled with a foot pedal. This will allow you to control the sizing of the ball on your tungsten.

On the 2nd tip putting your machine in dc+ will also clean off some impurities from the tungsten
Tip 2 :: "Only ball your Tungsten if you're using a transformer based machine. If you are using a new, inverter style welder... leave a point" - Mr. Tig
@avocares
4 жыл бұрын
I read your comment like "hugh, that's counter intuitive". Then I read the quote attribution and it made sense. Wyatt Swain (Mr Tig) had a ton of advice, some good, others not so much. Inverter or no, try fillet welding with a sharp tip and a balled tip, really consider what arc is easier to control at the start (before the tip starts to naturally ball).
very Enjoyable Justin...cheers from Orlando, Paul
Thats hilarious. I thaught i was the only one to us3 snips for nail clippers.
