I appreciate the educational content and is really useful, more for those looking or working for critically structural jobs but every once in a while this kind of builds a lot of fun to watch and follow.

Haha that’s pretty accurate, didn’t wanna have to switch spools. 😅
Great video, I just wanted to touch on the pressure part. I used to refill these kegs for my homebrew, on the end the ball is just held in there with a flat spring steel clamp that you can CAREFULLY remove with two flathead screwdrivers and then the ball connection and whole spear comes out thus relieving all the pressure. Inspiring build though I may have to source some materials for this

Thanks! Should’ve done it that way. I got a lot of pressure out.. not enough to prevent a nice beer fart to the face

Im a home shop mud dauber and don't have much stainless experience. Any issues using a plasma torch on stainless? thanks, loved the video.

Cut a little on the outside of your lines. The plasma cutter will burn the metal and you'll need to grind back into good stainless afterwards

Cut off wheel is better. Stainless doesn’t like the oxygen in the air and has really hard dross that eats up abrasives. Cut off wheel makes a nice clean cut.
@AustinHargett

It cuts it with just a little more needed amps. But like these guys said, you’ll need to grind the dross off to weld it

you should be able to cut stainless with ease with a plazma cutter.

Sorry. We can’t and won’t do that. We’re stubborn and are unwilling to change. Kind regards.
I talk a lot of shit on your videos, but I have to give attaboys where due. This is a cool build, and you didn't act like a clown, which is the best part of this video. Keep build videos like this coming, and throw in more serious educational videos, and you just might make me a fan.

Thanks man. We hear yall, the goofy stuff is over with. Just cool stuff and education
308 MIG wire? Should be 309 for welding carbon to stainless steel
You’re lucky that ring didn’t blow up in ya face. Any time you work with kegs you need to properly remove the stem before cutting/welding on it. They can be pressurized relatively significantly.
