ULTIMATE Homemade Fishing Livewell Pt 1 | DORA PROJECT 🧜♀️
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Start of a custom built livewell to go into the casting deck of the Quintrex 385 Explorer, DORA
The process of building a livewell is much easier than you may expect, albeit it may require the assistance of a welder. This is one of my first projects using the new TIG welder extensively, and it's been a lot of fun.

The DORA Project follows the build process of converting a very bare Quintrex 385 Explorer, into a very well equipped fishing boat, dedicated to light tackle fishing.

I’m an ex boilermaker by trade, with longer ally welds try stitch welding as this spreads out the heat and helps stop the ally warping.
great video mate, looking forward to part 2.
Love it man, can’t wait for the next part!!

Awesome vids mate Thank you. :)
Nice one mate well put together!

No need for filler wire in you’re tacks. Just wind you’re welder up to max and tack at that. I tack with my tig at 200amp short blast you’ll get the hang off it

Also you where out by 6mm cause you didn’t allow for material thickness

to be continued...god damn you! haha
How are the welds holding up?? I'm curious as most things you hear say fusion welding (welding without filler) aluminium is quite prone to cracking (depending on the type of alloys used). Has it stood the test of time ok? I'm hoping yes, and if so, do you know the types of alloys used etc? 6061? 5005? 5083? (might be on the receipt for the supplies?)

Hey mate - so far so good, however I haven't fished nearly as much as I'd like and its probably worth considering that Dora isn't the fastest boat so the sloshing and pressures on the weld are unlikely to be incredibly high. I'm also not sure if the sikaflex fillets have helped as well. I won't be able to find the receipt easily, but I know it was 5000 series Ally. From what I can tell from the suppliers website, it was likely 5005 H34 but I can't say with absolutely certainty, if not 5005 it was 5083

What TIG welder were you using for this ?

Andrew Aberdeen plan is to go with EVA foam deck, just a lot of things in a state of flux at the moment so it’s a bit hard to pull the trigger!
