Another Washerproject. Made my Daughters Babybelly from Washers... Still Metalart?

800 Washers and a Babybelly from Plaster.....
Guess what my Idea is

[@SollersSrappingandDiving]

I watched your channel add and thought it was incredible, this one is just as wonderful. You have a brilliant and cool talent!

[@all_handmade]

Thank you

[@HueyLionsheart]

Love it Guido! Great memento of her pregnancy.😁👍

[@all_handmade]

Thx Mate

[@alanm3438]

I have always wanted to make something out of washers. Nice job!!!

[@all_handmade]

Thank you Alan. Give it a go it is satisfying when you are done...

[@universityofmichigantheatr6851]

Why did you use the outside of the plaster mold instead of the inside? Beautiful piece.

[@all_handmade]

Because it is easier to fit the Washers on the Outside

[@MoHomesteading]

I have never done one of those washer sculptures before.. I need to try that.. :) YES ART!

[@all_handmade]

Think this little thing is Art? Watch one of my older videos. I made 2 faces in Lifesize from washers 😉

[@MakeItMetal]

So much patience Guido..and yes ..it's still art. Fantastic job brother :)

[@all_handmade]

Thx Brother

[@Victoria49357]

Wow.. love it.

[@nizzurtmontalgizzert3337]

Nice work

[@Psixolog_1972]

Super!!!

[@all_handmade]

Thank you

[@davespencer7326]

I like this very much, how did you ground your welder to the project? I see it’s on a steel table to ground to but I can’t see any metal touching the table?

[@all_handmade]

Watch the "3rd" Hand....

[@eduardodelrivero2886]

amazing piece of art

[@all_handmade]

The washers I used are Stainless .

[@jdshenanigans9265]

I can never find a washer when i need it .now i know why you got them all lol

[@all_handmade]

😂😂😂

[@erwinspeckdackel1662]

very nice video ... I will definitely do it, in another video it was welded from the inside, so the welding point was on the back

[@AllesHandarbeit]

Hallo Guido, ist gut geworden. Von mir bekommst Du auf alle Fälle ein Fleißkärtchen...

[@all_handmade]

Ja, bischen Gedult muß man schon mitbringen. 😂😂😂 Danke fürs vorbeischauen. Übrigens Glückwunsch, du bist der erste der sich getraut hat nen deutschen komentar zu schreiben. 😁

[@DiMplEzz17]

Beautiful job! I have a question please, can this be done with the electric welding heat pencil?

[@all_handmade]

Defenetely NO. Sorry Mate

[@Bmanfresh]

One last question did you prep the washers in any way? And what tungsten are you using?

[@all_handmade]

No I didnt prep them. I used a 2.4mm golden Tungsten

[@jesusiszombie0]

Hey man where did you get the washers? I have plenty of ideas but don't know where to order the washers in bulk. Any help would be great

[@all_handmade]

Here in Germany you'll get them at the Hardwearstore 😉

[@jesusiszombie0]

@@all_handmade ahhhh I figured you ordered online thank you!

[@Bmanfresh]

And what's your settings on. Your tig machine is very subtle compared to mine when welding Mines much more violent and won't stay as smooth or able to control as yours seems.

[@all_handmade]

I dont really remember it but it must have been around 50-60 amps, 1sec downslope and 2 sec postflow

[@Bmanfresh]

@@all_handmade sweet thanks for all the info very helpful. So I'd imagine 200 amps probably would be why my machine seems to be like the fourth of July! Haha.

[@all_handmade]

@@Bmanfresh well, at least 🤣🤣

[@top10bizar]

do you do this with a soldering iron?

[@all_handmade]

Nope, I used a TIG Welder.

[@Glassology]

Do you think a small spot welder could be used?

[@all_handmade]

I dont think so as you cant get both poles on it because of the plaster...

[@Bmanfresh]

Also how did you kept the form from burning

[@all_handmade]

Plaster doesnt burn. 😉

[@Glassology]

Do you think this would work with solder?

[@all_handmade]

It will defintely not work. Sorry Mate

[@Comedyboner]

How many washers did this end up taking ?

[@all_handmade]

Round about 500 😉

[@Bmanfresh]

You are tig welding? How come it doesn't need the filler rod? I didn't know you could just use it without a rod. Oh nvm I see you now using one lol.

[@all_handmade]

Yes I used a filler rod here and there. Doing Tig withouta filler rod is called fusionwelding I do this as often as I can at this kind of work. 😉

[@ladyjane9729]

What size washers are they?? :)

[@ladyjane9729]

Any advice for a welding novice doing this???

[@all_handmade]

Hi, these washers are for M12 Bolts and Stainless. An Advice.... Be patient, take your Time, start at a low Amper (maybe 30 Amp) then turn it up step by step as long as you feel comfortable. And maybe you practice a little on some left overs before you start on your project. If you need any more tips, feel free to find me on Facebook and contact me there. It will be my pleasure to help you out. 😉

[@indigolarry64]

Sure, it’s art.

[@tomthompson7400]

another left handed tig welder ,,, there are a lot of tig lefties on the tube

[@all_handmade]

Well leftys are more creativ they say. 🤣🤣

[@tomthompson7400]

@@all_handmade take note , now Ive mentioned it ,,,,,, you will see.

[@bobwhelk2115]

Welding zinc is dangerous

[@all_handmade]

Who is welding zinc?

[@allensmith7945]

Tig welding sucks! Lol
