Do you normally stand when tig welding?

SHEèeeesh 😮‍💨👌

Definitely an mma habit. I had this issue for a little bit and had a helluva time chasing down the root cause. Wish I had this video 8 years ago lol.

Hello, good video, one thing to ask, ... if i need to weld on a motorbike engine do i really need an acdc mashine?

Merry Christmas everyone 2024 almost in the books.

My dad would appreciate this, since he works with too many journeyman who basically refuse to grind and polish Questions though: 1) is there a reason for opting on a flap disc rather than a flat 80 grit once you were getting close to surface on the bead? Those were always super aggressive, and kinda made more work for cleaning up/blending once you start hitting surface to bring down flat 2) When cleaning up the disc marks, was there a reason to not run a pass with a sponge wheel before the orbital? Past experience, it helped me mitigate the need for more aggressive orbital marks to blend, and keeps surface measures closer to base levels 3) Have you ever tried a sponge wheel on an orbital as well?, especially after the orbital with a Brite pad. Helped me dull down the marks from that prior to matching grain. Random thing for anyone who has the means and needs to do this stuff on larger surfaces: board sander with Brite pads saves your arms 😜

Thanks, Dusty! I will try this with my machine as soon as I'm home!

Leaks usually occurring at joints doesn't apply to the 1st generation of Everlast's junky hoses that disintegrate. Junk! Buy CK products and be done with it.

The people that hold the world together!!! THX✨️👋

You are a true artisan! What a great example and teacher for us all.

I am building a knife from a broken leaf spring that use to be part of my camper. The handle will be from a moose antler. I want to incorporate some interesting design to the blade with my tig welder and I am viewing your sight for inspiration. There are plenty of spring blanks to practice on and I will be employing some of your techniques in my design. If you or any of your subscribers have any thoughts on possible design it would be great. BTW, this film was well done and not boring at all. My hat is off to the artist and editor for keeping it interesting.

Great video! I am looking at PAPR systems now. I want to weld more but refuse to do so until I have a good system. I lost my Grandfather and two Uncles all to throat cancer. They were old-school welders, doing lots of work on heavy equipment in the field. Mostly stick and MIG welding.

Love this one Dusty! Thank you! Merry Christmas!

I learned a lot of this info from watching tank restorations on the australian armor and artillery museum channel =D

How many m² of Sheet Metal would you recommend for the beginning when someone wants to follow all your steps?

8:58 keep up the great work I’m learning a lot. Love the videos

Awesome video, awaiting delivery of my first DC TIG just after Christmas... I can't wait to try this out.

Do you want things to look good? Just do good and good will be okay and then good it's done.

I've been welding for the past 45 years. Every man should at least have the welding basics.

Best electrode it's a dicktrode!

Thank you!

Used kemppi, fronius, ESAB, binzel tig torches The ones I liked the most was the kemppi ones, and fronius was the worse. Bought a CK worldwide (CK17FX) 5 years ago, paired with a furick kit, it is by FAR the best setup I’ve ever used The arc stability, the ergonomic, the weight, the flexibility, both of the head and of the cable, is way beyond what I’ve used before

Any experience with the yeswelder 205 pro? I really dont plan to do much if any aluminum at this time but it would be cool to have the option.. is this 205 pro a HF machine? What are the limitations of a DC only machine other than not being able to do aluminum? Am i correct for thinking any machine i purchase must be HF?

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Excellent Video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

s.st. back plate...

68 that's 34 each, easily beatable (but Guinness is stupid with the rules, and money)

How about including 4047 and 4943.

Do it w 18 g

Toilet paper Brilliant!!!! Do you have special Nitrile gloves? Cuz Acetone and Lacquer thinner tend to wreck my nitrile gloves.

I guess it's cheating but that part is small enough to orient properly for each joint. I'd just lay it down for the "vertical" pass.

Could not download your book???

My migatronic starts so hard at 5 amps it balls a 1.6 no matter what 😢

My entire welding "experience" is from watching My Mechanics videos and even I was side eyeing those original videos like "what, you're just gonna do that straight and grind it off with no bevels? That's not gonna hold."

Balled my first tungsten tonight. Aaaaaaaaaand… it was super easy following along with this. Ran a nice bead too. But now I am having arc spikes or what sounds like it, maybe power surges or cutting out but not all the way.

Thanks for the book

Cara, muito obrigado por fazer seus vídeos desta forma, agora está muito mais fácil de compreende-lo

Thanks for the great info. After watching your videos I now enjoy welding little projects in the garage. Keep up the great work.

The manual that came with my Lincoln Square Wave TIG 175 Pro instructs how to ball the tungsten for welding aluminum.

Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas! 👌👍

ANYONE can weld it is easy to weld.. what is hard is to weld correctly and weld that actually holds :) taught myself to weld allmost 45 years ago with oxy/acetalyne and been at it ever since.

Hello, great Video 👍 Greetings from Austria 👋

Aluminum dust is harmful to use, please use a vacuum cleaner

I'm sorry, I'm from Germany and it's close to impossible to watch your videos with this hell of a translation-syncronisation-bot-thing. I like and appreciate your content a lot. Please give o-tone back to us!

Merci pour cette vidéo Dusty. Toujours un régal de regarder tes vidéo super instructives ( génial le doublage automatique ).

.GRAN VIDEO¡¡ SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO

Hi Dusty I'm welding tig aluminum 1050 plate and the rod is also 1050 and it's still cracking, do you have any advice

Many experts would not share their tips and knowledge so freely. Pride often gets in the way. Dusty, you are a class act.

Just wanted to leave this comment, I started welding when I was 18 and went to school for welding after a manufacturing let me try it out and they trained me to do it for them. 4 years later I’m a certified tig stainless steel welder for durastill products. Your videos along with many others help me reach the level I’m at now thank you!
