[@justintasht1067]

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Cheers buddy

Doing various and different jobs will improve your skills 10 fold. Don't shy away from new things.

Brilliant youtube channel . I'm an engineer but learning welding to bump up my wages hopefully. Finished mig and tig level 2 and start level 3 tig in September. May I ask what qualifications and experience you have to be a mobile welder 👍🏿

[@ypaulbrown]

Metabo and others make a variable speed grinder which may help with not taking too much material off a weld...that 12,000 rpm removes metal too fast sometimes, also using sanding discs with a rubber backing that do not chatter/vibrate and make grinding very smooth......do not know if you are using them....but the hard wheels I only use for big structural when lots of material needs removal or shaping,,,,,I hope this may help you and others...... Pferd, Klingspor, and some others make great products......Paul

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Cheers bud and yeah it is variable sleep i should have slowed it down,, because it was so big it never sat flat causing it to dig in

[@TheSamwalker]

A quick question regarding your thin wall large diameter stainless video. My fittings and pipe are about 2-3mm different from each other and often out of shape (supplier) what’s the best method for equalling out the step on a tee branch for example, without loosing orientation? I’m used to small diameter thick gauge and don’t usually have this problem it’s frying me out!

[@ianwoollard9008]

Great welding there Bro😮 When welding these modern cars, do you risk frying the electronic ignition & various modules etc ? Do you have to unplug them all or just disconnect the battery ?

[@ypaulbrown]

Are you still doing pipe at the shop, or is this a full time business now..... always love your videos.....well done footage......I miss that intro music you used to have........ best wishes, Paul

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Still at the fab shop and doing pipe, im basically a nomad going where im needed

[@ypaulbrown]

by the way, Fein was the first to make the electric drill........

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Then they know a thing or 2 about tools

[@taylormackey1693]

any tips to mig welding

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Its not really a thing that can be answered in the comments but i will make a video about it

[@pasivo2009]

hey can you give more info of your welding respirator helment proteccion

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Not much i can say bud u can google it for yourself and see the specs but its a must have for welding

[@ARCONEWELDING]

It's called an optrel swiss air

[@escz6139]

Hey man need your help,I got a bmw e36,u know the sway bar connects to the body that part is rusted need to cut it out and weld a plate and bolts i could send some pictures for better understanding ohh ya I live in west london let me know

[@ypaulbrown]

haha, Your Swiss Air reminds me of the guys in the movie 'GhostBusters'

[@ARCONEWELDING]

How about Bane from batman

[@zzawoignatius3226]

Before welding, did you disconnect the battery?

[@mattsan70]

what are your thoughts on the swiss air resps? I know they aint cheap. worth the money?

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Definitely not cheap but mate its a life saver, it keeps my lungs safe and it was only £400 used but id be in problems if i never had it

[@kf8575]

Been welding for 20yrs now, mainly pipework, but also bit of structural every now and then. But welding on cars? That is the number 1 thing wont get involved in. Too much of a headache for my liking 😂

[@ARCONEWELDING]

I follow the same rule but they always suck me in when all they want is a plate welded over, when will i learn 😅

[@tomthompson7400]

you need to be grinding with a 1mm cutting disc , and all your problems will vanish , you cant tidy up welds on cars with a flap disc ,,, they are like a shotgun , you need accuracy ... but like all that stuff its slow ,, what did you charge on those jobs ,,,, whats the model of the new kemppi a garden sprayer full of water , a damp rag and a fire watcher wouldnt go amiss either . and a decent size co2 to hand just in case.

[@ARCONEWELDING]

I do have a co2 extinguisher for the moment, and the civic was £350 and the corsa was £270 but £670 all together, and you are right at the minimum a finer grit pad

[@tomthompson7400]

@@ARCONEWELDING trust me a finer grit pad will just do the same as a coarse one .. only slower .. move to a cutting disc at a steeper angle for better results .. takes practice at first.. I'll look forward to hearing about the machine though

[@talistierney5765]

hey mate are you still kicking? hope youre alright.

[@jondavidmcnabb]

I agree that time=money, but (i mean huge but) make your customers happy with every job and the money will follow. You will build a solid reputation and word of mouth is worth more than you can possibly imagine.

[@Lurkajol]

Great stuff 👌 Is there a benefit of pulse welding on sheet metal?

[@JonDingle]

When the welder is set to pulse, there is a split second (adjustable) where the arc goes out and that allows the base metal to cool a tiny amount enough to keep moving. When I weld cars, my welder doesn't have pulse, so I have to mimic the effect.

[@jackkrinkov9273]

Bid the job really high! If they don’t take it you will save yourself a headache. But if the accept it make worth your while.

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Agreed mate, i always do that for cars

[@jackkrinkov9273]

@@ARCONEWELDING Love your vids! Keep em coming

[@JonDingle]

As a mobile welder, you should be prepared to weld anything but obviously have the right to turn work down. Having just watched your aluminium vacuum table welding job, I can say that I would have walked away!

[@michaelwhitmore7160]

I notice the main rail is cut straight through is not a recommended method here in car repair industry .one part of rail should be cut longer than other to create a ship lap therefore is no risk of crack or strain in one join . how ever is no big concern as is only a small repair. I have many years experience in major car repairs and restoration . Well done anyway Cheers

[@MrPatrik246]

I'm always scared welding on cars, my dad told me he fried one ecu with stick welder

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Yeah, mate, always disconnect the battery but thats still a possibility

[@Paul-mw8kg]

Welding cars =steer clear so fiddly and time consuming

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Yeah mate or charge so much it justifys the effort 😅

[@mohammedsaidmahmoud7901]

[@thealan8998]

Don’t think I hate welding, I just don’t I like welding for long hours

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Weld a rusty car and you will add car welding to your hate list 😅
