Excelent video as always! I'm not here for the prize, but whoever gets it, i hope they put it to good use. Good luck!

I'm a welding instructor that teaches community artistic welding to beginners. We mostly weld up yard art and little fab projects like yours. This welder would be perfect for them in the classroom if we won. Love being subscribed to your channel. Thanks for all the tips and tricks in your videos. 👍🧑🏻‍🏭

West weld👩‍🏭 Nice to hear an honest opinion on the points that your not happy about and let others decide if that’s an issue for them or not.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

the welder, gas gauge, shipping,subscribeing...etc, LOVE THE HONESTY, mega respect.thankyou.

1:34 - this old toty? Dude, you done my day👍

My wife and I have been watching your videos and love you fence designs. We have a horse farm and I use a small Hobart. I Hope I win the Yes welder so my wife can use it. The size and weight will be good for her. Thanks for all the great content!

It would be a great machine for that easy to set up too.

Prettiest damn air compressor housing I've laid eyes on!

Great WELDER but your craftsmenship is what makes all videos great!

Catching some of the older videos, fantastic. Oh, you sir are not a welder, you are an Artist Extraordinaire! pure privilege to watch your work. Thank you

I admire the lengths you went through on this project to avoid having to work with lumber. 😂

Good call. A professional spends most of the time prepping to do the job right the first time This makes for a good product !! Welder

Good luck to all that enters!!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Most people don't know, but a broken Dos Equis bottle is the most interesting and easiest way to cut steel.

Absolutely love your videos and projects. Keep it up 👍👍 This Old Tony t-shirt really made me miss him more and more.

I dont understand why you wouldn't be subscribed. Your videos are amazing to watch. Therapeutic even. The welder would be amazing to start doing little projects. Keep up the amazing work!

Sure who wouldn’t want to win a new welder, but I’ve watched all your videos and am a subscriber long before this draw. Because what’s really important is that your videos have such Great music, and that’s what makes you a True Welder !

I’ve been loving your videos. The videography and honesty is fantastic. A YesWelder has actually been on my wish list for a year now. Thanks for having the giveaway. Your attention to detail on those hinges was fantastic!! Tom

Thanks Tom Ill probably get some criticism for not just buying the hinges but what the point of having tools if you don't use them

Cool, a cameo with the ol' lady nice. I'll be the first, I don't need a welder I have a little Lincoln 140 (110 VAC mig) where my best weld is a tack weld. Love the show brother.

I am mentioning welder in the comments. I love your videos and the style that you make them in. Keep them coming and thanks for not being fake.

Wouldnt mind winning the welder but what I really wanted to comment is you are 100% correct about what makes a welder, its all the fitment not just the weld beads.

Welder in the comments. New subscriber (just now). Not sure how I've missed your channel, this is the content I watch...at least the KZread algorithm finally put us together. Let me go see what eles you have on your channel.

A new welder is on my list but what's even cooler is that you're on the west slope...I remarked to my wife "that looks like the Monument" in this video (I've been in GJ for 24 years). I've been following you for a few months now. I agree with the other commenters below...great videography and I appreciate the honesty

I welded for a living many years ago. I need to get back into it and start building stuff. Thanks for the chance to win a yes welder...

I like the trefoil video. This welder seems like the perfect tool for that project. Count me in.

For the money the Yes welder looks like a darn good machine I'd love to have it! Thanks for the great video and THANKS for the oportunity.

I am very impressed with the quantity of welder you get for the price. I also think it would be a very easy change to incorporate your ideas about the spool and feed. Thanks for your time and for your efforts. I really enjoyed the video.

Excellent video editing and quality! Keep up the great work.

Don’t need the welder, just love watching your videos. Really nice work. Those hinges were/are sick!

Great video, lots of information about the welder.

The start with breaking the beer bottle and cutting the steel was worth watching the video. Hilarious and well done. I will see rest of video to see how the welder does.

This would make an awesome addition to my tiny shop

Your videos are extremely inspiring! Whenever you build something, you learn something new. But the best thing is the tolerances in your milled components! How the pieces fit together is just incredibly satisfying to look at. In this video the hinges! 🤯 I love building things and a welder really help me! Carry on the videos as they are!!

quick and easy and get job done nice enclosure

11:15 YES... Ive been saying that for years... love your work.. ive been looking for a 110 volt WELDER .

Love those hinges. Real clean!

I want the welder! Have been watching your channel for over 25 years

A nice entry level machine, whover wins it should be very happy 👍 Love the compressor dunny 🤣

I would love to have fun working with high amperage, high temperature, toxic fumes and radiation, just like you. I think this welder checks all the boxes.

This would be a great addition to my shop that only has 110. Welder me. Enjoying your content.

I am 14 years old, and would really like to start welding but do not have one yet. Really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work.

Thanks for the link to the surplus. I just ran with a few others 420ft of 1” schedule 40 pipe for air line to replace our Rapid Air plastic line that kept bursting. Keep up the good videos.

That look like a great welder. It would be great to have for home. Good luck to everyone.

That welder would look great in my little shop.

I have an everlast mig/stick welder that i love using. I am not trying to win this one, but i hope someone who wants to get into welding wins. It would be a great little starter machine. Enjoyed the video! Moving that compressor outside is a very wise move. The tribute to this old tony's metal cutting style was epic

I have used a Hobart welder (220v) for the last 20 years for gas-less flux core mig. I grew up using a gas Kohler powered Linclon stick welder for equipment repairs and metal fab. The Yes Welder Mig 205 DS would be a fantastic way to get back into stick and add Tig to my arsenal. Thank you for the chance to win this mighty mite. I have been a subscriber to your channel from the first video I saw of yours. Besides excellent information, you bring class and style to the YT experience. Thanks!

Great practical review of the YES Welder, but what really impressed me were the architectural-quality hinges you made for the A/C House. One thing you probably want to add to the A/C House is a couple of louvers: not only do you need a way for air to get into the compressor, but you will also need a way for cool air to get in and hot air to get out of the house. Free standing in the shop this isn't a problem, but in a small enclosure you may run into problems.

Man is always awesome to watch you work, everything clean and organize. Keep it coming 👍 I don't know if subscribers in South America can participate but I would say WELDER anyway.

I have had my eyes on one of these yes welders for a while. I would be so thankful to receive the welder and would put it to good use as a replacement for my heavily used and poorly functioning 10 yr old harbor freight welder

I only have a small stick welder , a mig would be nice. At least my welds would probably be nicer. Thanks for sharing. Great vid. 👍👍👍

Great video and great review of the welder, thanks for this!

Wow you are really a stand up guy I'm glad I stumbled on this channel

Heck yeah, the yes welder is right up my alley. Just bought a house with a shop out back and I am dying to go build something!

Looks like a great little welder. Nice job one the AC housing.

I appreciate the great content you put together. My buddy and I finally decided to learn the basics of welding and it is amazing to watch people like you that make it seem easy. It would be great to have a welder to practice with.

I always appreciate your videos, and as I said before I am glad your taking the time to make them ! I totally agree on the spool size as portable totally means light weight and easy to maneuver around. I hate that you have to use any energy on haters and critics on you tube, but hey whatever they are on every channel. Keep up the great work its always a pleasure to get a new one from you.

Glad to see pros like you reviewing and recommending items for newbies and hobbiests. I'd love to learn to weld some day. Great videos by the way.

Welder I appreciate the honest review. That's why I subbed quite some time ago. Thanks for the heads up on the auction. I don't Facebook, so I really appreciate you leaving an eBay link as well.

Darn bro you've got all the toys

I’m watching this 9 months after you posted. Hope the new owner of the Yes Welder is appreciative and actually uses it. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

I want the welder. Never had a TIG or stick and it’ll have a good home. Having said that, love all your videos and look forward to every one. This subscriber will keep coming back. And thanks for the solid for sharing your secret supplier. Clicking there now!

I am hoping to start my own side gig soon and I need a welder! I appreciate the honest review and all the inspirational videos and I'm local enough to pick it up!

I've been thinking about getting my first welder soon. Thanks for the honest review, and keep up the great vids.

I've never welded a thing in my life. I've been thinking of buying one of those just to learn with anyways. All the people I know who are welders act like I'm throwing money away if I'm not buying $10K of production kit right off the bat. Man, nobody's paying me by the piece, I'm trying to learn!

Awesome video, love the honesty with the welder. Would be thrilled to have one and have a new way of building things, particularly working with metal and being able to do something other than drill holes for nuts and bolts!

Looks like a great welder! It would be a good replacement to the one I lost in a garage fire. Thanks for the review!

Very nice video, talk about a true craftsman, that compressor shed is wonderful, really love the hinges. Thank you.

Good review, liked the tips on keeping things square.

Nice work. Love the attention to detail. Great review of the welder.

"Men's Room" sign was a nice touch. I was glad to see you review the welder as I'm hoping to add one to the shop at some point - maybe soon?

WELDER !!! OMG this would be amazing i would love to have this Welder for repairs , making legs for tables etc.. Thx in advance and i’ve learned alot with you so far .😉🇨🇦

Very good welder review, a nice well built closet too.

This welder would be a great addition to my little shop!Thanks for the opportunity.

I love an honest review.I could use a decent welder on my car projects.

You really do a great job with your stuff! Great designs. Great execution.

The little Yes Welder did a good job for basic household voltage. Hope that outhouse has some paper on the roll.✌

I love the panels that you welded together for your air compressor that you put out back and I also think it's a good idea that you used pecks waterline to run your line I'm gonna definitely use that idea as far as the welder goes hopefully they're good is what you say they are and good luck to whoever wins it.👌🏻

Welder. Looked at this machine a few times. Love the vids!

So cool for you to be doing this and looking to take care of the fellow welding community. I’d love to be in the running! My father in law and I just got in to welding and have loved every minute of the learning experience. We are running a huge Miller saved from the scrap yard. She’s a fighter, but would definitely help us iron out some of the issues we are having and keep us welding! Love your content!

I love maker videos! Welders are awesome.

Awesome little welder, and another quality video!

Love your channel and love the “TOT” shirt. Thank you for the review as I’m looking at purchasing this. Keep up the good content.

I've never touched a welder in my life, but I'd sure be happy to change that with this one. Thanks for the honest review and great video

I haven't been able to weld since high school shop class but have been wanting to get back into it for years so I can get good enough to get out of the food industry. This seems like a great welder to learn on and even if I don't win I'm definitely going to try to save for one

Always enjoy the videos. The Yes Welder looks like a good option for the home workshop thanks for the review.

Just getting into metal work and love the channel. In particular, I love the detailed resource references you share like Hudson Steel and their heat treating reference. Some of the milling tools it's possible to track down, but I really enjoy when you show a bit more detail so I can read up on them. Tracking town the Wohlhaupter Universal Boring system wasn't easy :P. I hope to have half the tools you to someday, but would love the welder to get started.

nice review, great covering for the compressor

Thank you for shot out! Lisa from STM!

I love all the welding tips, since I'm a complete novice at welding. My dad tried teaching me how to weld once when I was a kid, but after I stuck the stick in the puddle twice he just gave up. I'd love to win the welder. :) I also really love your hinges. Those things are *such* overkill for that little shack, but they're fantastic workmanship! Thanks for showing us the build process for that thing.

Great build. Compressor closet looks great. I don’t want the welder personally, but if I won it I would give it to someone whom I know needs it. It would help him greatly to get his blacksmith business off the ground. Thanks for sharing.

I HAVE A PERSON WHO WOULD LIKE YOUR WELDER. YOU DO GOOD WORK. THANK YOU.

I have been thinking about one of these welders. More now that someone unbiased has given a review. I would look forward to trying it on 220 volts.

Thats a nice first mig welder. I hope it goes to someone that needs it and will use it 👍✊

Nice touch with the sign on (welder) the door.
