Jody, Thank you for everything you do for the welding community! Your videos are top notch and I am truly honored to work with you and be part of the videos. Your videos have helped me numerous times, from getting a job to simple troubleshooting, your videos have helped me immensely. Your representation of welding (from Down&Dirty to textbook) is the best on the internet and whoever watches your videos to learn is always better for it.

Great video. Really like that straight edge for the torch. And I found it interesting showing the time difference between the torch and the grinder when cutting. Can't wait to see more videos with JD.

So many good tips when you hang out with JD! He has so many gadgets and great ideas in his shop.

A big "Thank You" to J.D. and you just keep 'em comin' bud.

Great segment Jody. I really appreciated the in-site on how to move big chunks of metal around. Thanks for taking the time to shoot and share and I would love to see more shop type set up work for hints on improving my shop. Great stuff! Fred

Thanks for sharing. Always good to see out on the job site. JD should make his own KZread channel.

Every time I get the big Metabo out, I think of this video. Changed my life. Thanks.

It's always interesting to see what projects JD is working on or the different tools he had. makes for a great quality video. great job guys!

I have already almost all tools from Metabo - around 8. They never let me down. Top notch.

I have 6" dewalt grinders and use them more than my plasma cutter for slicing through material. I Will agree that the time.thing is probably just gonna be based on what you use every day and how neat you want you're finish. I rarely use my plasma ( one it's old) but I can cut faster with a torch on plate (ppl don't realize a tip and pressure settings can be changed in order to get a perfect cut on every thickness) and slice through sheet metal with a grinder, way faster than getting.both tools out just to use the grinder after I make a

Great video guys. I'm close to finishing up with welding school so I appreciate these little peeks into the real world of welding. Thanks!

Amazing informative demo with using a tortch and grinder to justify time. Im extremely impressed with the rolling gantry JD and his helper(s) had made, that is a slick piece of equipment to have.

We only cut stock with abrasives now at work, it's quicker for us to just pop down the road and pick up more discs than it is to take tanks to get swapped. Heck, my boss has even sent me on my motorcycle to quickly pick up a couple dozen cutting discs.

I love, love, love my Metabo. The grinder I have from the Horrible Freight doesn't even come close.

Thanks Jody. As always, very informative. Thank you JD for allowing us to see it all. I appreciate it very much.

Metabo grinders are definitely top notch and are still made in Germany. Fein and Bosch also still make their angle grinders in Germany but I've always favored the Metabo.

They're holding the grinder backwards! You should always hold the grinder so it's pulling away from you (sparks coming toward you) I was just waiting for the grinder to kick back and plant right in their face or gut...seen it happen many times.

now there is a guy that aint fucking around all the gear and absolutely all the ideas to boot just shows you what is possible with minimal equipment if you just think about what you're doing and what you need to get the job done nice work guys

One of the coolest videos I’ve seen on your channel, Jody. Even though there’s a lot. Always nice to see something being built!

I think JD has earned himself a free tig finger!
