Such a baller shop setup man. Good motivation!

@@thejourneyretold Thanks, I appreciate that. It’s a work in progress! Thanks for watching!

[@jimcollins9316]

Thanks for another great video!

Don’t know if you already know this but they make those scotch brite pads for 4.5” and 7” grinders. I use them all the time

[@Freedomfabrication777]

I own some for 4.5” but I’ve never seen one in a 7”. Sounds like I might have to get some of those! Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!

Nice! I don't mind short ones at all. As a matter of fact I prefer them :).

Nice Job. If I may make a comment on the wire brush cleaning. If you take the wire brush and make a back and forth motion it recontaminates the metal, especially when its dirty. So to not recontaminate the metal, make a one direction motion forward only and then repeat that motion again. BTW im from Utah and now live in texas. I like your videos so great job on your channel.😀

[@Freedomfabrication777]

Thanks for the pointer, and thanks for watching! I hope Texas is treating you well! 😉

Wow at first glance I thought that was a tick, being from B.C , I never would have guessed that was a black widow. Did you use 3/32 tungsten. Nice repair on dirty aluminum.

[@Freedomfabrication777]

Do you guys get black widows in B.C.? I used 1/8” pure tungsten on that one. Thanks for watching!

[@neilheriot2361]

No, but we do have rattle snakes in some places.

[@webulone5777]

seems like you should of did some kind of pressure test

[@charlesmecum5009]

How much is a repair like this

[@Freedomfabrication777]

I charged the guy $75. It took me about 30 minutes to fix.

[@Oldtech51]

The water heater is rotting out from the inside. It's not worth fixing.

[@randyharris8669]

Thats kinda sketchy i hope the customer had bought a new one or good used one thats in better shape? Also i hope for liability reasons you mentioned something along the lines of "tail light warrenty"

jeez i hate watching truly awful people prosper

[@Freedomfabrication777]

Did you ever stop to think that people like you Just fuel the fire for awful people like me who have worked for everything they have? Which is why we prosper. I bet if you used all that negative energy to work towards your own goals and dreams instead of tearing down other people’s success, you might prosper a little bit yourself.
