For someone learning to weld is a mig the way to go.And you have a great channel I get a lot out of it.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Thank you very much. I welded with a stick welder for many years, then went to MIG and I believe learning to weld with a mig would be the best way to learn. I wish you the best.

What a pleasure it is to learn by watching your content. I think after watching this lesson might be able work out how to make a flush/slightly recessed weld on nut (i just need to buy the welder 😅).

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Hahaha, I love your comment. Thank you very much, I wish you the best for your project.

[@specialized29er86]

Depending on the application lots of times I only weld the corners and dont run a weld all the way around and since the jobs aren't going on a space shuttle its plenty good enough.

[@shicabababengo6202]

[@Changtent]

That last one with the wood plug; go down to your local welding supply shop and ask for some "hardwood rods" then you can weld that plug in there. Just a thought, no need to thank me. Nice video thanks.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Thank you for your comment.

[@michaelinkster4977]

Great video! Useful pointers for sealing a boat trailer I’m making. Some pour oil in before sealing I believe. Do you think that wood option would keep the water out if submerged?

[@GavinClarkdiy]

In the long term the answer is no, but it will keep it out as long as the paint you paint over it seals it in. Boat trailers get a tough life, put underwater then dragged out and left all day in the sun, If you weld a plate over the opening it would be much better. Hope that helps a bit

[@michaelinkster4977]

[@Sunrayman123]

Enjoyed the video, Gavin. What MIG wire are you running and what amperage settings?

[@PhilosophyCat]

Magnet trick FTW

[@bobtwartz8751]

when cutting flat 1 bar keep your cut as close to the vice as posible this cuts down on viabration and makes your cutting disk last longer 2 keep the grinder geerdrive away from the vice alowing for step 1

[@wannabejeeper]

Personally I do #3. I think it looks best. Kind of like you cut through solid square bar. You're not shaping either, you're just leveling the weld to the two pieces of metal.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Yes it is nice and simple and quick too. Thank you for your comment.

[@jeroth1987]

What welder did you use?

[@estear9688]

Think the wood end caps would be able to support casters for tables under a 1,000 max?

[@GavinClarkdiy]

It would not be something I would do. I think it may have a problem if you are pushing it and it hit a bump.

[@RayAttanasio]

Hey m8. Good to see you back. Oh, and leave those spiders alone. Nasty business, they are. 🥴

@@GavinClarkdiy yeah. I worry about that too. I’m not used to all this that’s going. Came here from London, UK. It’s looks a bit crazy to me. I’m in south Florida. It’s a bit more relaxed down here. Be good and take care. Waiting for next vid. 🍻

What kind of wire welder is that mine doesn't work nearly that nice!

[@GavinClarkdiy]

I am using a MIG welder, a Unimig Viper 182 and I am using gas with it.

[@hedgewitch59]

Perfect timing but I can't weld. When did you say you were coming up again? 😀🤣

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Hi Julie, I am surprised you don't weld, that would be the one missing thing in your renovation skills, I can't wait to see your house, you have done so much work on it. I don't know when we will get over there, but I am hoping it will be before the end of March. Looking forward to catching up, thank you for your comment.

[@MiniLuv-1984]

How do you weld the wooden block in? :) Love your tips Gav, thanks mate.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

I used a friction weld to hold the wood in there, Hahaha. I am glad you liked it Benny, thank you for your comment.

[@MiniLuv-1984]

@@GavinClarkdiy Friction welding is a pretty amazing thing to watch...steel spinning on steel, glowing redhot, melting then welded! I've always wondered if one could do this with a mag drill and suitable insulated between the jaws and the fastener (I have one - they are frigging strong and perhaps the only thing I have that could maybe do this...but its expensive, so I don't want to risk it). What about aluminium, wonder if that can be friction welded? Better look up friction welding on yt :)

[@GavinClarkdiy]

@@MiniLuv-1984 I have watched friction welding on youtube, I agree an amazing process, and some massive shafts getting welded. I can't imaging that we could be doing it at home even on a small scale, need lost of pressure pushing the bits together too as well as spinning them. A very interesting thought. Thanks.

[@robertofabian6770]

[@dc85337]

You left off no. 5. Just keep filling in the hole with weld 🤣

Capping tubing is what separates man from the rest of the animals.

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Hahaha, I think you are right, Cheers

[@paullang1961]

you forgot about the plastic end caps you can buy

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Yes you are right, I left the plastic ones out and the galvanized ones you buy for fence posts, both do the job they were made for, but I like making sparks and belting things with my hammer, and those two would be no fun. Hahaha Thank you for your comment.

[@jc9376]

That wouldn't be a very interesting video, now would it 🤔 ?
