You doing great your "Ali" welding is 8 out of 10 👌👍

[@vaux_wolf4281]

My dude if you need any help get yourself over to welding tips and tricks, Jody taught the internet how to weld

[@randyharris8669]

That and all the videos from the Y.T channel 6061. Theres no talking in the videos but awesome arc shots👌

[@justintasht1067]

Great video nice little job looked like it came out well. Glad your getting work in loving the van in the background 👍👍

[@talistierney5765]

looks superb mate

[@Paul-mw8kg]

If that was my job I would be happy with that. I remember reaching out to you when I was at college learning to tig weld after 20 years of mig welding you sent me a voice message back and I took your advice and I practiced as much as I could and now I have cracked it and love tig welding now preparation is key with aluminium the cleaner the better. As always top work from a top bloke 👍

[@nathanmccallum4910]

I recommend you set a long downslope on two step. Let the amps off and the amps will ramp down slowly letting your material cool off slightly and press the button back and continue just after letting off. Helps if you don’t have a foot pedal and don’t want to blow through on thin material

Acetone is reasonably cheap in five litre and 40 litre sizes. 40 litres works out much cheaper, Although it is a large chunk of money to lay out for 40 litres.

[@bigdogscooby2029]

Get yourself some teflon tape its a clear yellow brown colour it takes all the heat no joke and leaves no residue

My go to mask at work is an optrel crystal. great hood, back when clearview and 4c wasn't a thing the lens clarity was superior to any other mask. now days it seems like the competition has caught up and the only real advantage is the 2.0 lightshade. The lens is kind of small compared to most auto dark helmets but I like it, it makes the hood lighter than most which is nice when you got in on your head all day. My friend got the panormaxx and I tried it out, that one is good too with a larger viewing area, lenses are an arm and a leg though. Haven't tried the new Helix, but it looks bulky and heavy which are two things I hate. Anyways, when fabricating aluminum you want to avoid using abrasives. Cold cutting methods like circular saws, bandsaws, man eater, routers and die grinder are the best. For thin stuff smaller than 1/8" or 3.2mm I like running pulse say 1-3 pps, get some scrap and mess around with the background current to dial it in.

love the vids. wheres the sick beats in the intro?

[@blipys]

I'd recommend having some different diameter rods on hand, 1.6mm & 2mm. the 2.4mm rods takes a lot of amps to melt, compared to the thin material you're welding. I'd also use a 3-3.5 sec down slope, that way you floor it when adding rod and slope down when it gets hot, almost like manual pulse. I also have an old drill press vice I use to clamp weird parts in, so they stay where you want them while welding. thanks for the video ✌️

[@ryansimpson1603]

Hey bud...I love your videos always look forward to them bur if you want some awesome tips for welding aluminum look up Welding Tips and Tricks...Jody is amazing and has some awesome tips that really help

[@dirtywelder483]

When your doing fit ups have a dedicated set of file just for aluminium and use them instead of cut off wheels you will get less cross contamination and a better fit up.takes a bit more time but a better fit up and product overall..just a suggestion..

[@digitalscale76]

Why were you not using the G5-02?

[@sergeysilantyev8498]

Why 4043, and not 5356?

[@battlebbot]

Torch angle is wrong, filler should be 1.6mm, travel speed is too fast. Bearing those things in mind, you are going to get large, unsightly looking weld beads, and unlikely any of the welds are full penetration. You will get better penetration if the frequency is lower, about 60hz will probably work. Lanthanated tungstens, seem to work better than zirc. Degrease with acetone or brake cleaner, before and after degreasing. If you are using 1050 sheet, it's easier to get full pen welds, with 1050 rod. Hth

[@kf8575]

With the cleaning fluid, just get yourself a bottle of acetone, thats the best thing, the nail varnish remover has probably got some sort of woman thing in too lol. But if it works, it works👍 Whatever you do though, dont use brake cleaner!! Breaks down into phosgene, which is some real nasty stuff☠️☠️

[@battlebbot]

Not been phosgene in brake cleaner for more than 10 years

[@olgajoachimosmundsen4647]

Do you feel the pain of not having a good workshop, and lacking equipment?

[@ivandemchik6363]

Доброго Вечора. Чому немає перевода на Українську? Цікаво а незрузуміло(

[@mihasikPOFF]

А, тому, что в голове пусто. Настройки - субтитры - перевести.

[@mikethecripple]

Those gas bottles your using, the flow on them is never accurate, looking at the width of your cleaning your a little low on the gas flow, other than that keep sending it 🤙

[@battlebbot]

Only accurate way to set gas flow, is a cheap pea shooter directly over the end of the ceramic.
