Mastering TIG Welding, Creating Award-Winning Trophies

[@srgore67]

Awesome trophy's, those will definitely be the coolest trophy's for years to come and probably won't end up in a garage sale 20 years later!

Dad of the year 🥇👊👌 dime consistency like you is the ultimate goal🙏 11/10

[@5thStreetFab]

haha Thanks dude!👊

[@x0mamahemp]

Hey dude hey, cousins wifey here! Keep up the great work 👌🏻☺️

[@5thStreetFab]

Thanks Katie! Tell Dane and the girls I said hey!

[@treyrags]

Awesome. Love the originality! Best trophies they will ever have. PBR is icing on the cake 😉

[@5thStreetFab]

Couldn't agree more! haha I didn't notice they were in the video until I was uploading it😂

[@n8o8n]

Awesome job mate, I'd much prefer one of these Trophies over those generic plastic ones. Be cool to see more on the CNC too.

[@5thStreetFab]

You and me both! I had fun making them too

[@cvservice1]

can you tell us a little more about the aluminum tig settings of your new machine, just like you did with the old one.

[@lightmetalinc.6488]

It was really generous of you to take the time and craft them each a work of art. I watch all the little things you do hoping to pick up tricks, but the biggest thing that helps me with bead consistency is positioning myself comfortably. As soon as I'm too awkward my hands shake or move around and things go south quickly.

[@5thStreetFab]

Ya dude that's the most important thing especially when you're learning! After a few thousand reps, doing it after that in uncomfortable positions it's much easier.

[@strata99]

It's been awhile, great to see you still doing your thing. I have been watching since the PBR days lol! Keep the videos coming!

[@edgundlach2811]

Hi. Really great job on the trophies. You helped build memories that last. Ed from Chicago 🙂

[@Kashed]

Great job Max, those are sweet! Looks like the home shop has come a long way in 5 years. Pretty soon you will be wishing you had more space. It fills up quick! Looking forward to more videos. 👍🏻

[@5thStreetFab]

Thanks bud! I'm already finding that to be an issue

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Awesome trophies, they definitely won't fall apart if dropped. Thanks for the video.

[@joell439]

Nice….. you really set the bar high for future trophies. 👍😎👍

[@5thStreetFab]

haha ya that's what I've been hearing. At least they will remember their favorite coach!

[@davemaga2999]

Awesome trophies there bud...great to see you doing your thing

[@5thStreetFab]

Thanks Dave! I hope you're doing good bud!

[@davemaga2999]

@@5thStreetFab yeah man all good bud just not enough tig time for me lately...working crazy hours and kids lol

[@brianbreza3599]

That is a serious trophy!

[@5thStreetFab]

Haha thanks!

[@jeremiahhebner8593]

How did you get rid of that etching zone?

[@DCweldingAndArt]

Amazing creativity 👏 use of your cnc router(almost inspiring me to go router instead of plasma) prolly cheaper too for router? And limited to aluminum. But aluminum is def my fave metal. And most versatile. Great to see u again Max!

[@5thStreetFab]

Ya dude! My buddy has a 4x8 table that is a router table or a plasma table. That would be the best but man I don't think its cheap. If I would do it again I would get a smaller table. 24"X24" is about all I use normally.

[@johnversluis3084]

Max great work when will there be more content in the future Please keep in touch I hope every thing with the family is going well Thanks

[@5thStreetFab]

[@botoepfer8588]

what Router bit are you machinging te Alum. with?

[@asf9404]

Hello, Professor, a question: What must be available in a TIG AC DC welding machine to be a professional in aluminum welding?

[@5thStreetFab]

Not too much. I like a lot of amperage available, adjustable ac balance and frequency.

[@asf9404]

@@5thStreetFab Thanks

[@KennyB9871]

Those are awesome!!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@kenneth6731]

I am curious what they would look like in stainless with all the colors!

[@5thStreetFab]

I bet it would look bitchin but I don't have a way to cut stainless other that a cut off wheel.

[@trailerpark187]

Very nice. I was watching your thumb and started thinking about how my thumb has been going like almost numb lately. So I'm trying to get the Kane style down. Have you had your thumb get fatigued?

[@5thStreetFab]

nice dude! when I do get tired I use my ring and middle finger to pinch and pull it forward and that gives my thumb a break I can't imagine what it'll be like when I'm really old haha.

[@jaicabryizky6987]

Nice job dude

[@4thgenZ28]

Awesome work!!!

[@middleway1885]

Epic stuff!! Woooh!

[@warrenmaker798]

Long time between drinks mate, hope you r doing well, we miss you.

[@5thStreetFab]

Haha thanks bud! All is well here! I want to make more but man its hard to find time! Thanks for checkin in

[@danl.4743]

Where have you been Max! I thought you quit the internet.

[@5thStreetFab]

haha I've been working a ton of OT and trying to learn a new editing software.

[@Busabuck100]

WOW

[@battlebotts]

If you put a clean ball on all the trophies,and had them sign every ball. Just an idea

[@curtisvonepp4335]

Just a a suggestion SHIT CAN THAT 🎶 🎵 MUSIC IT'S A DISTRACTION 👎👎👎OF NOISE .

[@alexvonbosse5090]

For the first time wachting your videos I am disappointed. The first 72% of your video shows mainly the back and side of your head and almost no actual welding. The rest is rushed thru with minimal close - up of the actual welding. The music is annoying at best! No music and commentary by you about what you are doing would make a much better video!

[@5thStreetFab]

Ya dude you're totally right! If I have a project that I can take my time with I will do that. The problem is, filming it like that takes 3-4 times longer! Thanks for the criticism

[@JMRSplatt]

I can't really agree with the comment about being disappointed; this was my first video on your channel and got me to subscribe. Some of the criticism is absolutely spot on, but video creation is incredibly time consuming and difficult. Finding music without facing copyright is tough; KZbin has a music library, but it's very dry. Sifting through the library, editing the video, and placing the music... post commentary would still need some background music else it would be awkward. I think the video is neat and shows some awesome work for the kids. If you come back to youtube and keep at it, yeah the criticism can be looked at, but the video is still fine in my opinion.
