DIY Metal Washer Bowl

[@jackeekp]

Wow....Love it, happened across your video after seeing the copper leaf jewelry you created, Thank You for sharing

[@FireHeartProjects]

Thank you sincerely for watching! I hope to hear your suggestions to help improve this channel!

[@myronjohnson8899]

wow. Great idea for a project. I really need to buy myself a magnetic work clamp for my everlast welder. that looked really handy in your video.

[@FireHeartProjects]

+Myron Johnson Thanks for watching! The magnetic clamp is well worth the purchase, makes it hard to switch back when I need to sometimes.

I love it! I would love to make a mannequin with copper washers. Just a half form

[@MaxwellVanDutch]

Really admirable work. I enjoyed watching you work.

[@bobwhelk2118]

Quick follow up: if those were zinc coated - you should remove zinc first ( it can be very toxic to weld) - though it looks like stainless?

[@FireHeartProjects]

All these washers are stainless as well as the wire. Its possible to weld through a thick zinc coating but a respirator is a must, like you say it is very toxic!

[@MrVectrexUK]

Can I ask what sort of disk you used in your angle grinder to remove the welds and get a basic clean up done? And then also, what was that polishing wheel you used to get a better finish?

[@FireHeartProjects]

Hi! I used a flap disc to remove the welds and smooth everything out. something like this, probably an 80 grit. www.walter.com/products/-/producttradename/abrasives/blending/enduro-flex for polishing I used a large brass brush wheel mounted in a drill, something like this; www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mastercraft-flat-wire-wheel-brush-coarse-4-in-0541317p.html#store=18 Thanks for watching! check out my newer videos, cheers!

[@MrVectrexUK]

@@FireHeartProjects Thanks so much for the info!

[@TheNuggetshooter]

Great video - I have always wondered how thwe where made. I will ahve to try this. Thanks for posting. Well done!

[@bobfroeschner7593]

Thanks for posting, is that flux core or MIG? Any issues with using flux core?

[@FireHeartProjects]

Hi Bob, I used Mig with shielding gas. No problem using Mig, Fluxcore, Tig, Stick... Any welding process will work! Thanks for watching and please check out my newer updated videos! 🤘

[@bobwhelk2118]

About how long was it to weld it up?

[@FireHeartProjects]

Not long, maybe an hour max. Thanks for watching Bob!

[@benromine1205]

These are stainless steel coated washers? I was looking to do something similar but was told to use plain steel washers? Any thoughts? Did you use a specific welding material to weld stainless?

[@FireHeartProjects]

These are solid stainless steel washer, stainless is not a coating, it is a grade of metal and needs stainless welding wire to weld. I wouldnt use plain washers, they are zinc coated which is not food safe and bad to weld

[@benromine1205]

ty we will see what I come up with.@@FireHeartProjects

[@FireHeartProjects]

No problem, goodluck!

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

LOVE IT! So cool! I even liked it before you smoothed it down. TFS!

[@comedyallthetime5030]

How many washers did that take

[@Gr8_Z28]

Will you put washers in it

[@MUSTAFA-GowR]

How much is the price of this Machine welding ⁉

[@mmier6343]

That looks awesome! Thank you for sharing.

[@FireHeartProjects]

+Manuel Mier Thank you for watching!

[@garrenjohnson9298]

Important question, what kind of gloves are those? Do they work well for mig? And awesome work!! Also where do you purchase the magnetic clamp?? Thanks!!

[@FireHeartProjects]

They are LincolnElectric Tig gloves, and yes they work well as long as youre not welding anything extreme. Thank you! I got mine at a canadian hardware store called Home Hardware, im sure you can find it on amazon though.

[@Justone177]

Dumb question: why heat it with MAP gas before paint? Something to do with bluing?

[@FireHeartProjects]

+Thomas Moore yes the heating was just to give it that burnt blue/orange steel look, and a coat of clearcoat after for extra protection.

[@Justone177]

+WeldedWoodWorks makes sense, just never thought about it like that. I'd been doing more forging, but got into machining and welding recently, so I just learned about bluing as a protective process

[@trajhen]

ANY WAY TO DO THIS WITHOUT A WELDER?

[@FireHeartProjects]

yes you could do this with a good quality superglue and a superglue accelerator!

[@Glassology]

@@FireHeartProjects Could you solder it?

[@Bluewirenut76]

what is the silver mat thing between the table and bowl at the end?.

[@FireHeartProjects]

+Bluewirenut76 just some plastic table mat, nothing fancy

[@MILOSENTROPIA]

why did you heat that after welding?

[@FireHeartProjects]

Just to change the colour

[@Glassology]

Where are the new videos?

[@FireHeartProjects]

Hey, im sorry to say life got a bit hectic and I havent had time to put into new videos. Im by no means stopping, I hope to have new videos out soon! Thank you very much for watching

[@bigboibunz]

Great video! One question.... How do you eat cereal out of it XD.

[@FireHeartProjects]

+Harry McLane Haha very very fast. Thanks for watching!

[@flamingomtn]

I have a project in mind that will have a lot of compound curves and I'm thinking of how to support it as I weld. Has anyone ever used modeling clay to weld on? I imagine modeling the shape I want and then placing the pieces to weld onto the clay as I work along. Would that work or no? Thanks in advance. I loved this video!!!

[@emso8964]

I was just wondering this myself. Did you ever try it? Also I wonder what will happen if you use an ovenproof dish to weld on for the bowl shape like pyrex or ceramic

[@FireHeartProjects]

Hi! A pyrex bowl would work fine as long as its real ovenproof pyrex. I use TIG welding cups made of pyrex!

[@emso8964]

@@FireHeartProjects That's great! Thankyou. I'm going to try it tonight

[@jdtv...9134]

Really cool, I like be it! I'm just getting into this as a new hobby so I can only hope to be half as good so in turn I can make cool shit as well as a way to make some extra money! Thank you for making this video. Joe from Philadelphia...

[@FireHeartProjects]

Thanks Joe! You can deffinetely make some extra money if you make a few nice things on the side. Goodluck!

[@bassist6018]

perfect for eating soup out of, great video though:-)

[@mattarnold3798]

Or maybe holy water

[@larristheblackswan3584]

Weird. Sitting in a certain Ottawa garage with a pile of washers from gas filters looking up ideas in what to do with them and then hear "ottawa rock station chez 106" what's the odds.

[@FireHeartProjects]

Haha small world! I hope our recent storm didnt cause you too much damage

[@taylorrossi5094]

You could have just got a bowl from the kitchen.

Could be a hat too

[@rickg1137]

sadly it's going to end up at a flea market for $5 bucks
