youre awesome and all, but i do have a beef with that weld. I think your passes are too long or something or maybe torch angle coming around that tube? that weld had some dull areas. probably outran your gas coverage no, cuz the HAZ was nice. I dunno. no offense I love your channel and your work. Any stainless welders in the comments?

@@_jovian You’re right, I should probably just pretend that I do everything perfectly, and that I don’t ever make mistakes, and that I don’t learn from mistakes. I’m an open book. I’m not a bullshitter. A friend asked if I could do this for them, I warned them of the possibility of complications, and they still wanted me to try, so I did. I figured it would be helpful for other people to learn from my mistakes. To be honest, I think the only regret I have with posting this video is having to listen to people like you that think every project should run silky smooth, and never have complications or make mistakes. I don’t know a single business owner that doesn’t deal with complications or problems. A huge part of owning and operating a Fabrication business (or any business for that matter) is problem solving. But the way, you’ll be happy to know that the customer still shoots this gun on a regular basis and has not had one issue with operation.

@@Freedomfabrication777 No one said everything is silky smooth perfect man, but I certainly wouldn't bee sending a firearm component to what looks like a DIYer figuring it out along the way. You milled straight through a safety feature... thats scary. A 'mistake' or 'complication' can hurt and/or kill someone. And while yes you did fix it, and dude hasnt had any problems supposedly, that could have been a different story and should have never happened in the first place. Part of owning a business that modifies GUNS is be to be intimately familiar with how whatever gun you accept works, every part, the exact placement of the parts, and how the modifications affect that gun. Sure, gold star for trying your best 🌟, but you dont play trial and error with guns and the majority of the comments here echo that.

Not bedding the tank on dedicated strips of plastic or even adding doublers or 'skids' to the embossed plate (6061 or 3000 series??) will insure there's going to be headaches as the tank moves against the bed's embossed plate 'dimons'. The tank, ALL tanks, should be bedding so there's no surface wear to the adjoining surfaces. This will wear and leave a blackened paste running on the bed pretty much anytime there's rain. The embossed plate alloy isn't very good in wear/abrasion on 'points'. A set of bedding plates or elastomeric surfaces to act as interface would make a much better design. Baffles could have middle 50-60% as holes to allow better equalization in turns, and smooth plate for the bottom and cab side would make much better sense IMO.

Outstanding. I,m a retired tool & die maker, & done quite a bit tig,mig & stick welding. Back In the day I was heavily involved in drag racing. I had a Jr Fuel dragster. But I hung out at My buddy’s shop that built top fuel dragster chassis. He was who taught me to weld. But Remember him building a welding long table for his chassis. He went crazy have the table top Blancher ground. But that’s way beyond anyone would do. But you my friend did it beyond any others I have seen on the net. I still have a small shop I need to build a table. Thank you! Ps you have such a wellorganized & nice shop👍
