Your videos are not exactly tutorials but I like how you include settings along with your tips and tricks. I learn so much just watching someone who knows what they are doing.

Projects are more fun, than production work imo. 👍😀

Jimbo ! You got everything else ! Snag you one of those little Wen File Belt Sanders ! Don't buy 36 grit it breaks off the belt, get 60 grit ! You stick that little dude in all kinds of tight places for cleanup ! I use it for hard to reach spot welds !!!

Otro claro ejemplo de su habilidad en la fabricacion con metal esta ves es esta extensión de caja de camión , mis felicitaciones y respetos para usted amigo Jimbo desde Venezuela.

A tip for you jimbo is when plasma cutting into a piece. to make a whole go at a angle til you blow through and have the plasma gun be straight up and down it cuts down on the blow back. Give it a try and great video! I run a hyper therm power max 30 a lot. And its stuff you learn when plasma cutting

JG I'm not a metal fabricator but I've learned a lot from your works, 👍👍👍. Just something I learned along the way... When cutting a piece of metal and your blade is a it short for a single clean through cut... Rest what you cutting to maybe 1 inch piece of metal underneath and you will be able to make that cut through, 😉😉😉🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Sometimes to save time for pieces that have an end cap, instead of grinding. I take I back to the saw and push it flush with the weld and chop the welds off on the saw. Quick n easy

It was interesting to watch, thanks for your time and inspiration.

I learn by doing and seeing and this is a great channel for people like us.

Beautiful Work Thank You for Sharing

Another great video love watching I am no welder just started out but wow learn a lot from you! Been in construction for over 30 years and love it!

Every time I watch your videos I feel like I need a HTP welder,

You are the best...always doing a really fine job!

Variety is a spice of life. I like stick for thicker and mig for thin material. For furniture or gates or something I can get a nicer finish with mig and thin rods won't last long anyways so you'll have a lot of stops and starts which don't look so nice.

Beautiful!!

Turned out very well there keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend weld on

Jimbo... We can all appreciate having to figure out a way to get things done without a helper. I try to tell myself that I'm a better person for doing it by myself. hahahaha. Good job on the extension. Thanks for the great videos, as always.

You the men, great work!!!

great work, fun to watch

I've been watching for a long while now and I guess having just 3 welding machines I get by ..I'm still learning on the tig , watching you has helped a lot with just the basics and then the technique. I've always wondered but I guess having soo many welders you could be spoilt for choice for the tool for the job. What actually makes you use a certain one . Great video as always

Very nice work

Nice work

Now I know what to do with all my old blueprints...Great video as always!

Great video.

Great work 👍

super job !

Wouldn’t a solid weld on the top of that extension prevent water from getting down in the crack and resting or at least creating rust spots

Thanks Jimbo

Good use of technical drawings for masking paper

Very good.

Don’t see how that whole project took only 3 hours. Regardless, very nice on the design and execution.

Good job

WHO knew... Jimbo Burns Rod like a fucking PRO.

Jim - a few things to know about the stake pockets. They are a specific size to fit the panels. I think by adding the angle to the inside, the posts may not fit. Also - they have to be welded 100% along the sides to take the side load from the stakes. Also when placing them, you have to check and see how the panels are fastened. Some get pinned below the stake pocket, others just drop-in and are secured when the tarping system is attached. Placing them too low may sometimes not allow the posts to correctly fit. Loving the videos. Take care.

I think if I was going to plasma out those holes for the stakes, I'd still start with the plasma cutter instead of maybe drilling a starter hole, but I'd start the plasma cut about a half inch inside the line, then once the cut is all the way through slide up to the straight edge and get it done. Kind of like blind-starting jigsaw in the middle of a hole then working out to the line once you've got the blade through.

Excelente, saludos.

Nice. looks factory. did you have to make the longer brackets for the top gate latches ?

90 amps with 1/4" in 3G down? your the boss

I am not a welder (I play one on t.v. :))) ), but I have to say that is some real nice fabricating. I ist thought you were an auto repair shop by the title. Very nice job.

Hi Jimbo, very nice job! I was wondering what the brand / type of clamp it is that you are using @4:10, i have some that are similair from Scangrip ( Danish brand ) but they dont make them anymore.

If you use a 1/4 in. drill in the corners of the pocket holes the plasma will start ALOT easer and work better.

Jimbo another great project and work. You have got to check out the 1000 lb lift table at Harbor Freight. You could definitely use a rolling gantry but I know your limited in space. That's where the lift table comes in. I swear it will change your life and can be folded up and tucked away. They make other more expensive ones to. You could also look up high lift pallet jack those are awesome to. Both are great back savers.

Thanks for watching Tony, Yes i have been looking at that one. But i might make one that is more the right size for me. Jimbo!

What shade glasses do u use for plasma cutting

Try using an aluminum straight edge when plasma cutting. Stays more clean than steel

I cant find any videos on those messer electrodes. If you could make a video with more info on those electrodes i would gladly appreciate it

Show show 👍👍

Try having a few different size speed squares just for plasma cuts

Hey Jim. drill a pilot hole first before you start the plasma cut. great video! Luv the shop. stay cool!

Nice little machine. Is that a 120 volt or 240 volt ?

What is the name of those welding rods?

Another great video Jimbo! I watch all of them! That’s a sweet little stick welding machine. Why’d you decide to stitch weld that thing with the stick instead of mig? Was it just for the heck of it? 😂

Welding outside there is always the chance of your shielding gas getting blown away by wind with mig welding. Wind is not an issue with stick.

Great job, but why'd you use the stick welder on the truck??was it due to the wind blowin away your MIG gas?

I think he wanted to do down weld at the electrode, there are cellulosic electrodes that penetrate properly with an MMA post. With the MIG it was necessary to make a rising weld it is more complicated and longer :)

My question will make it very clear that I don’t know anything about welding… so with that disclaimer, Is it possible to do something like this, say add another foot in length to the back of a flatbed truck where it would be strong enough to attach Ramps and drive a vehicle up on?

I'm confused why you sometimes choose MIG welding and other times stick welding

@ZILAwelds

3 жыл бұрын

Outside with the wind stick is more forgiving ... Stick is a spray arc, typically gets “better and stronger” welds than short circuit mig .... and is more “fool proof” in a situation with wind and potentially dirty metal
