How To Weld A Chopper Style Motorcycle | Easy Scrap Metal Art Sculpture | Barbie The Welder

[@stevenmchenry9276]

I took welding in high school, but haven't done it since then in 17 years. You inspire me. I've been back trying to learn all over again.

[@jimgarrett7078]

Nothing more beautiful than a lovely, intelligent and skilled lady handling a very large set of nuts.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+Jim Garrett 🤣🤣🤣That's the most action I've had in almost a year!😊

[@TC-dw6wg]

When you put the chain down on the table saying it was the body, I couldn't see how it was all going to come together. After you finished welding I was amazed at how great it came out.I love to watch Artist at work and the creative nature behind it.Thank you for sharing your talents with me.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

[@nicholasevangelisto8264]

That's very Cool ! My Dad made one for me when I was a kid !

[@christieturner5567]

it's so very nice to see other women love doing what I love to do as a female welder

[@wdntulik2no438]

Christie Turner maybe you should start a channel to showcase your skills, maybe it will inspire other beautiful intelligent womens to get into a very satisfying industry.

[@nizzurtmontalgizzert3337]

Your videos are very motivational

[@BarbieTheWelder]

I’m so happy you’re enjoying them!

[@efrainorlandomatizandrade3012]

YOUR MOTOCYCLE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL I AM FROM COLOMBIA

[@BarbieTheWelder]

[@gagomish]

Simple and yet great looking. Thanks for idea

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Thank you!! Happy welding!!!🥰💙👩‍🏭

[@browill9]

I absolutely love your art.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+browill9 Thank you kindly!!

[@jensdavidsen4557]

There s a tragic derth of women like you in the Chicagoland area - women who are simultaneously beautiful and who love getting their hands dirty creating something from nothing...at 32 I've yet to find one. Keep up the great work! Never heard of your channel before - now I'm a subscriber...God knows I suck at welding so I'm sure I'll learn a thing or two here!

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+Vernon James Thank you!😊 That’s ok I was awful when I was first learning! I’m good with a grinder now because I spent a whole lot of time grinding out welds!😉

[@artisansportsman8950]

I'm very impressed well done Barbie.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Thank you kindly!!

[@ArcanePath360]

I like this project, because you can keep adding detail, such as nuts for headlight and tachometers, sheet metal for fenders etc. Tubes for exhausts....

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+ArcanePath360 now your thinking!!!💪🏻💙👩‍🏭

[@ArcanePath360]

I made one: www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/657525614318526421/ = Thanks for getting me started, I had fun with this

[@bumstudios8817]

ArcanePath360 thats cool

[@machinesmotorcycles5511]

New subscriber here seen you on metal tips and tricks . You are very creative . Nice video.

[@massimotartaglia8704]

I like you because you ever smile. Well done from italy

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+Massimo Tartaglia I'm honored! Thank you so very much!

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+Massimo Tartaglia Thank you Massimo!

[@bryandunlop5662]

excellent round over welds or any spatter, gonna try this with larger stock. No mig but I have a wicked 250 Lincoln from my dad who was a master welder

[@jaquesdaniels2964]

That turned out well, as a biker, its another type of small project I want to do in the winter months. I have a pair of big nuts but can't bring myself to weld them :). Anyway, another good vid and more inspiration, thanks, and again , thumbs up for your presentation-I'm an ex army instructor and tend to lose it when other YT presenters don't follow the auld EDI (Explanaishun, Demminstrayshun, Imitation) like you do. The chain following the petrol tank (gas tank to you ex colonials) shape is good, I'm thinking I could fill it in with sheet metal and put a logo on it mebbe.

[@CortinasAndClassics]

This is brilliant. I'm going to try this, I have loads of bits in my garage and shed. Will film it too 😉

[@luissantiago6039]

Nice going, keep them coming.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+luis Santiago Glad you like!!💙👩‍🏭

[@NoMonkeyBizz]

Awesome work getting into scrap metal myself made some stuff from Scropion, To Scrap tables

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Awesome!!💪🏻💙👩‍🏭

[@martinjoseph7029]

thats a great looking chopper. I bought an Everlast mig welder a while back that I haven't really learned how to use yet. This would be a great project to cut my teeth on.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+Martin Joseph Just start practicing. There are a ton of great how to weld videos. Check out Welding Tips and tricks.

[@jman6030]

Cool!good job

[@dondawson1]

A magnet would help you keep alignment and your front wheel forks steady while welding, and you are doing perfectly well! I think looks fantastic!

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Donald Dawson thank you!

[@ArtfullyRogue]

A metal shop is not complete without it's pile of cool metal parts. I'm feeling the urge to dig into my parts a make something fun

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Artfully Rogue wonderful!! I love to inspire! If you post what you make on social media tag @BarbieTheWelder so I can see!!

[@ArtfullyRogue]

I actually have a channel here on KZbin so you can guarantee I'll be shooting video. :)

[@ArtfullyRogue]

Alright, so I ended up making a dragon from my scrap metal. I posted on Instagram and tagged you. I'll probably post the video to my channel tomorrow. Thanks for the motivation and inspiration to have some creative fun

[@bc65925]

When I decided to make one of these a couple years back it took me about 5 trips to goodwill to find enough silverware to match up close. I used a butter knife for the arrow and then welded a 1/4 bolt to the bottom of one foot and bolted it to a half a piece of walnut firewood for stability. Daughter liked it for Christmas that year, at least she led her old man to think she did.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+bc65925 Coming from a daughter whose dad makes stuff the only material possessions I have in my house that I truly treasure are the things my dad makes me. Thank you for taking your time to share your story!! Keep making her stuff!💙👩‍🏭

[@bc65925]

Oh I will/am, forged her a squirrel cooker and a pirate skull bottle opener this week. But she's putting them into a charity auction.

[@mattkramer341]

This is awesome! Thank you.

[@appalachianamerican3881]

This is awesome. I'd like to make this in my welding class. Our teacher likes to keep the art pieces we make if they're good/cool/nice enough. I think he'd like this if I made it. But I gotta go find the parts unless I make a miniature version.

[@drasticg]

just found your channel and you are amazing and have some awesome skills,i find alot of scrap metal doing my hobby magnet fishing and i want to make some cool stuff with it, all the metal is rusty so i will have to clean it up first.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Thank you kindly for writing!!!

[@drasticg]

@@BarbieTheWelder im a video creator as well and i have some tips for your channel You can contact me through my about page, id put my email address here but it will get put in the spam folder

[@paulwarren6766]

Very cool person love the art

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Thank you!!!

[@sebastianadams8771]

I sure wish I had access to a bunch of metal parts like you have. I'd be making stuff with my powerimig all of the time if I did.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

It’s called a scrap yard!!!

[@bumstudios8817]

BarbieTheWelder rofl... ikr these people are hard up for scrap. Geez keep your old broken stuff and just take it apart for stuff if you dont have a scrap yard.

[@gravedigger5279]

Awesome 🤘😎🤘

[@tinker453]

[@chrischiampo8106]

Great Job Barbie 😎

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+Chris Chiampo Thank you!

[@valveman12]

BarbieTheWelder I love that you are recycling and making marvelous sculptures. Is this what you do full time? If so it must be so rewarding. I have made many sculptures myself but just as a hobby. I was surprised you were not using welding magnets to hold the wheel forks but it all worked out great.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+valveman12 Full time for three years, best life ever!!

[@ShawnCFarm]

Ken sent me, nice work.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+ShawnCFarm He's crazy talented! Thanks for your support!

[@stevenellis9801]

I LOVE your channel. What is the best "in your opinion" welder to do scrap metal art? Thanks very much and keep videos coming.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

A MIG welder that runs on 110 and uses gas is the most versatile in my opinion and what I use the most. Mine is a Millermatic 211

[@stevenellis9801]

Thank you very much for the response!

[@deathdeala22]

This is great! My question is, where did you find a nut that big for the rear tire? I can't find one anywhere that size.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Scrap yard, I found four!!!💪🏻💙👩‍🏭

[@workinman3878]

i have big nuts

[@jayrosabal9147]

Great work!! I wanna ask you for a favor... Would you let me use some of your ideas on my next project??.. Once again great work and thanks for the tips and ideas

[@BarbieTheWelder]

I put these ideas out there so people can use them however they wish to do. It is my deepest desire that more people find joy of creating an art and I don’t care how that happens as long as it brings them the fulfillment that it brings me!

[@terrycannon570]

Just Love it ! Nuff Said.

Здравствуй, Барби. Волосы от сварки ещё ни разу не загорались?)

[@BarbieTheWelder]

No thank goodness!!!!

[@dan2397102]

cool build. was hoping for a cool spoon for a seat.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+Dan Barter not a bad idea! I make bikes with much more details and that would work cool for a seat!

[@davez4194]

I throw my bike chains in a fire to cook em clean before welding. The heat also colors it up a bit.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Dave Z great idea!! Thanks!

[@davez4194]

Have you ever noticed too that some of the welds will crack using bike chain? I think bike chain has high carbon content so it gets brittle at the weld. I found flux core mig seems to work better....maybe it cools slower cuz of the flux....and I burn it in a bit more than my usual art weld. I like using bike chain and have a good supply of used chain....Im a bike mechanic! LOL...Happy Welding!

[@stevefriedlander7053]

Dave Z I use my TIG for most smaller chain to avoid cracking.

[@davez4194]

Do you use filler rod or just fuse it? My problem is my chains are so dirty...even after I cook the grease out of them they don't tig very well...theres a lot of crap under the links...

[@stevefriedlander7053]

Dave Z depends on the link size. Smaller, fusion weld. Larger links I use filler. I soak them in grease remover then wash down with acetone.

[@shartne]

nice very creative. =)

[@ccswelding1599]

your scrap pile is much nicer than mine : (

[@502deth]

ok, i see im 2 1/2 years late to this video,but i think your mystery front tire gear is from a 4wd front locking hub

Nice :)

[@BarbieTheWelder]

[@CharlesStruble]

Some projects are enhanced with a little grease...;-)

[@dondawson1]

Hah I was thinking turn on your fan and you did!

[@BarbieTheWelder]

I was worried about it being too noisy but then the smoke got worse and I figured I would just yell at yall over the fan!

[@mmorrison6894]

what duty cycle does your welder have? mmorrison1195

[@BarbieTheWelder]

M Morrison I don't know. I'm using a Lincoln 140C Mig that runs on 110v. I've used it for four years and weld with it almost every day and have never hit the duty cycle. It's a bad ass!!💪🏻💙👩‍🏭

[@mmorrison6894]

Bad ass welder for a bad ass Welder. 😁

[@franciscowashington2155]

👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@evanmorris842]

This is awesome but I have one small concern for your safety... Your hair is very close to the fire and sparks and not only that but (I'm not certain) I think you pointed the welder towards yourself and welded parts together and I just want to make sure you don't hurt yourself so please be careful

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+Eman evan Thanks I appreciate your concern.

[@dustin960070]

you aren machine!!!
