When is the next part coming out?
would making a temp buck out of cardboard help with the formation of the wire form?
If this guy work the same amount he talks man he can get a lot done
Im fixing a 1974 CB750 Honda tank. I had a good shell but bottom was rotted. Got a second tank with a good bottom. Split both, welded good halves together. BUT, im in Florida and the humidity rusted the outside of the shell. I use muriatic to get rust out of the inside , now i know i can save the outside as well. Thank you. Oh, im from Nashua, NH, so i love the accent.
So no work hardening?
Hi Wray, We're concerned about you. We haven't seen any KZread videos from you for the past two months. Is everything alright? We miss you !
Interesting, thank you! I am gas welding an aluminium bodied car I am making and am finding it's not easy. I find the only way to get good consistent penetration is to go from both sides. And I end up with really lumpy welds that need a lot of grinding but the welds are good then. I need to be quicker with my dipping or use thinner rods maybe? I also find not fluxing the rod but dipping it into the powder works well for me, I think because it gives me that pause with the torch to control the heat. The problem for us amateurs is something you mentioned in your film - you can get good if you do it every day! As a hobbyist, this is my second aluminium car and probably my last so I will never get enough practice in to be expert. I find that frustrating but have learned to settle for 'good enough' for my needs! I will have to try those Norton discs. I have been using a large flap disc on and angle grinder to know the tops off then flap discs on an air grinder and they work quite well. I also use wax rubbed on them to stop the clogging. On the outside I can then body file everything smooth.
Like you said ray, the top wheel is wide to make it idiot proof 😂and you also said you wouldn’t change back to the narrower top wheel! Think about it 🤔
This is very interesting because of course the E Type wasn't designed to have panels hand made, as they were mass produced steel stampings. I'd imagine that there's quite a lot of detail in a steel stamping design that is very diffecult to reproduce in a hand made alluminium panel.
woah!! I have never seen this done before, my mind is blown!
THE END !
Raising lows by on-dolly slapping/hammering works great, but I can't explain why! It's counterintuitive that hammering or slapping on-dolly in a low area would raise the low area. The low area is stretched as the result of some accident, and hammer/slapper on-dolly only stretches it further! I'd think that we'd end up with more stretching after the on-dolly work? Perhaps that is exactly what happens, which is why we follow up by shrinking with the shrinking disk?
As I think more about this, raising the lows by slapping on-dolly is just like driving a dent up from below with a dolly. We stretch the stretched area up, then shrink it.
Anything on here about that required ground rod needed to operate the AC tig settings when ones work bench is a chunk of left over 4' x 33" osb board 13/32" thick lol. On steel saw horses on a concrete slab. Yes the machine is grounded. The work must be grounded according to the book so i called to HF technical support by pushing #2 and then #2 finally got a real person on the phone and he didn't answer about the required ground or concerns of a man working in the same facility with a pace maker in his chest.
Ray, what contour is that lower wheel? I have one of those wheels but it only came with one #3 die. I've since made a flat one
Craftsmanship: 100/100 Music:WTF/100
Your hands probably look like mine
Agreed, on the music. Totally unwatchable video, useless without comentary. We aren't all 'merican hick red necks ya know. Some of us like Mozart. This music sounds like mental illness to me.
Thank you very much Ray, much appreciated..❗ As a 78 year old retired Arch'/ Eng' having done Production Eng' in Specialised Steel Strip & now Bladesmithing, I find your Video most informative and very professionally presented ❗🤔 Shalowm ❗🙇♂️🏴🇿🇦
Same.
Great Video! Thanks for the safety tips when using acid to remove rust!
Have you ever tried oven cleaner? It works pretty good!
Good demonstration, except you really should use PPE. Don't just say, do.
I would watch this as long as it is, I want to make 17" fenders for my Motobecane moped, and after watching this video, I am going to make it
Wray trying to sign up for midjourney website which Mark says is free. But its not you have to pay for a plan.
this is magical to watch, Brilliant!
Ur Workmanship looks Sensational 👌 But the Music 🎶 🎵 😩 is kill'in it 4me . And from the Comments it looks like 👍 l am with the Majority Perhaps u should listen 🎶 2 Us . If the Music was inplace & turned right ✅️ down might be better . 4me Ur Workmanship is enough & Perhaps some Commentary from u explaining the process . Cheers Robert 🍻 Australia
This video is the culmination of the 22+ videos building the Jaguar bonnet which you could watch.
Wray Each wire form episode has been very informative. Any idea when the next episode will be ready (June? July?) Thanks Bruce Topol
Yeahmanyeah 👍👏
Hello, thank you for your informative videos. on this video you mentioned potentially doing plans for the hardware kit. Is it going to, or has it happened? I found the plans for frame but not the mechanisms on your website. I would really like to build this (fun and useful project) however I am in Australia and unfortunately wouldn't make sense for me to buy the hardware kit (shipping fees alone kill the idea). Any how again thank you for all the useful instruction you provide
Que nivel 😮
OMG es perfecto 👌 😮
I'm confused, you tin it with lead to get it ready for lead?
The process is amazing, the footage is great, but the soundtrack is really annoying.
mute
Really a great interactive process! Seems like there is a lot of hard geometry encoded in the AI rendering. If you boxed out some perspective rectangles directly on your photo, i bet you could get some pretty solid preliminary reference dimensions off the image using proportional dividers.
I love this process.
You could be a genius, but for that music.
Thats crazy
Very nice metal work.
Caaaars i love it
He calls them "Weaks and Strong's" I call them "pimples and dimples" Ken Mahan
Fantástico 😊
Will this process work without removing a roof skin? I have similar blasting issues.
argghhh 3 weeks! dying to see your progress!!!
I watched these first 8 episodes over the last 2 evenings and I am absolutely hooked. Its taking shape beautifully and is a joy to watch. I'm really looking for to the next episode and to see the whole thing which I know will take a long time. Just wanted to say thanks for doing this, keep it up.
Norm ! 😮
Hey Wray, did you use the gathering tool to shrink deep into the panel?
