You make tig welding look so easy if ever I start to you will be the reason!

[@impilcature]

I really appreciate the plans. I am learning to weld and specifically, TIG so these will really help me practice with a purpose. Great quality videos as well!

[@bobmartin8535]

Where did you get the plans?

[@alsaffarstudios]

Truly amazing work, so much enjoyed every minute of this video. Always looking forward to see more of your creative metal work. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🙏🏼

[@JustVoss]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@allanwilson1821]

Beautiful welds and a brilliant project, just on point , I've been watching all of your videos, I'm just learning tig now after buying a little lift 160 set from gys. Your videos are really helpful...thanks.

[@JustVoss]

All of them!? Appreciate that, glad you enjoy them!

[@mickhvac3908]

I have a 10k wat Hobart generator welder being serviced right now. Hoping to start my first welding project soon. This looks obtainable with the tools I have. Thanks for the video!

[@gsftom]

Just found your channel. Love it! I like the simple projects that you have chosen, the detail that you show, your commentary and photography. Incredible videos and I am a beginner and like seeing things that I can do. Also, the detail provides a lot of tips that I can use. Best welding videos that I have ever seen.

[@JustVoss]

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you like the videos, have lots of stuff planned.

[@SlowEarl1]

Nicely done Sir!

[@jamaics07]

You are a very skillful dude that little rocket came out looking neat , keep doing your thing you!!!!!

[@rcgarage7970]

Awesome video. Have wanted to build one when I seen your video on the big one. Now I will be building two!

[@JustVoss]

Nice! Don’t hesitate to make the air intake larger.. think I will on the kits.

[@hendrienadejongh8133]

Totally awesome I am impressed. Beautiful and professional welding.

[@Qkriek]

@13:18 - Best Tig Puddle and dip shot I have seen on youtube! Thanks

[@nuttyaboutguns]

Excellent video. I learned a ton about TIG welding techniques as well as basic fab and prep with this one. Thank you.

[@JustVoss]

Glad it was helpful!

[@michaelfeathergill7556]

when making your tacks. you can set the amps to 150, 175. rest the cup on the part with your tungsten pointed at the joint about 1/32 ,1/16 away. then you tap the pedal all the way down then all the way off. do it kinda fast like half a second. you can just cover the arc with your glove no shield, if your the daring type. the joint has to be tight , no gaps. if you do have gap you can rest some rod at the fusion point. its so much faster and easier.

[@Vormulac1]

Wow, that's beautuiful welding. You, sir, are an artist.

[@dkhallal]

Bout time you put out another project. Great one, it’s so cute! The laying of the beads at 13:29 was amazing in slow-mo. I get a much better picture of how TIG is done with just that one shot. Will one day have to get one, looks much cleaner and easier than Flux core.

[@berniesteadman7642]

Agree 100%. I've done a little MIG welding, and never fully understood how TIG worked. That shot explained 90% what I did not know.

[@maximfadeev2012]

Was awaiting till the end to watch how it works;))) thanks, looks good and effective

[@zylent8251]

Nice work and videos Justin 👍👍👍

[@WTFisAuserFRCKINname]

13:25 shots looks awesome. A video idea I wouldn’t mind seeing is when to use certain size cups for tig. I’m certified in 3G because I just wanted to be, but I don’t weld with tig in my job. So I’m not the most informed on when to use certain sizes. Just as idea. And another awesome vid man.

[@JustVoss]

Yeah not a bad idea, I have some generals I go with so would have to do some more research to make an entire video out of it.

[@justinmickelson6579]

I’ve been procrastinating making ones of these in micro version. I keep seeing the video of someone heating their coffee mug. Love your videos Justin 😅😉

[@JustVoss]

Appreciate that!

[@ste-bow771]

That's the cleanest shop I've ever seen!

[@larrymccormick3226]

Very nice beads, nicest I've seen on any videos. Like the little stove a lot. The wind vent being on the opposite side of feed box was a great idea too. Enjoyed it. LarryMac

[@LittleRestraint]

Lovely welding technique.

I really like how you make steel an art, greetings from Toluca, Mexico.

[@Kellislawnservice]

Thanks , nice work.

[@shackman9566]

Just started watching your channel and I love what you do. Thank you. I love old ford trucks. I'm restoring a 77 f150 4x4 and have 2 more waiting. I also love camping hunting and the out doors. I've built a ton of different types and styles of rocket and wood gas stoves starting about 15 years ago. I've never built the type your building out of square tube but now I'll have build one. I have an idea for a portable wood gas stove that I'm pretty sure will change every thing. But it's still in development and I'm not ready to put it out there yet. Have a wonderful day.

[@JustVoss]

Nice! Glad you're liking the channel and good luck with your stove!

[@stelp7617]

a kit would be awesome! thanks for the video.

[@king0cans]

Your channel has came a long ways. Good job.

[@veizour]

Nice! I couldn't stop watching.

[@user-sl3il5sz2s]

With a proportional decrease, the thermodynamics change, the relative heat loss will be greater, and the efficiency of the stove less. The upper grill with a proportional decrease becomes small for use. But these are Russian nit-picking. Great work, master. Separately, I want to note a good video of electric welding.

[@nobueno8652]

Big words small brain 🧠

[@jbkhan1135]

Really cool project, gonna make one of these!!

[@WTFisAuserFRCKINname]

Made it to the end, as I always do (don’t know who watches a video just to leave half way lol). But yeah man I’d love to have one of these as a decorative piece in the house. And honestly if you did more of these mini projects, I’d get a few of them to put in my man cave. I love to build stuff.... I don’t have a problem. You have a a problem xD

[@JustVoss]

Nice! I'm coming up with some that are more decorative too. Thanks for watching all the way through!

[@chopperbadcomapny2625]

That seemed like a whole lot of welding even for a video! Very cool my man...! Very cool..!🧑🏽‍🦽🎣🇺🇸

The best thing about this is the compressed air tools. Like. Dman

[@semant]

Dude, you're good! But it warms my soul, the fact that you also do not get everything right the first time and even more incentive is that you are not shy to show it! This is great! It helps everyone who starts their way to TIG! Keep it up!!! Like 100% PS. Translation via Yandex, I hope the meaning is not distorted!)

Those are some noice looking welds!

[@gameoverwehaveeverypixelco1258]

You could make a version with a hinge on the twig shute. Make it fold up more compact.

[@billmers3219]

Hey Justin, watched whole video, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it!! Nice work!! very interesting piece 👍. I did subscribe, looking forward to seeing more videos. I'm a retired crane operator, able to spend a little more time now out in the shop . Again nice work!

[@JustVoss]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it! When I said that was my goal for everyone to watch the whole thing I really planned on editing the video shorter.. but I have such a hard time skipping details.

Soooo, a "pocket-rocket stove"? Where the heck did I put my tig? (Those welds are PERFECTION!)

[@ricardovillaquiran673]

MUY BUEN TRABAJO....FELICITACIONES POR EL PROYECTO.

[@stag3t-muspsa910]

You are a excellent fabricator

[@melissahoffman4687]

You can even put a little alcohol burner in that little rocket stove. If you want also you can add some air holes in the neck on the rocket stove to decrease the amount of smoke it may make while cooking.

[@jessefilsell1898]

Literal perfection

I wonder if half scale or double works the same or if there is a thing where all the dimensions halve and the height only drops by 3/4 because of the draw effect. Sweet welding.

[@danjay2767]

Nice work man! Is something this size practical for taking camping, will it work effectively for basic cooking/boiling water? (Seemed like it was struggling at the end of your vid) I'm planning on making a rocket stove for our next camping trip, a little one like this would be awesome along as it does the job.

Who makes the pneumatic cutoff wheel you have?, thats slick!

Sweet stove!! Make a mini rocket stove from round tubing next time....be kool and makes the welding and cutting more of a challenge as well! Thx man!

Greetings I stayed for several reasons You asked viewers to watch the whole video No background soundtrack (until the end). It was helpful and informative to be able to hear the arc working. I appreciate TIG welding, especially when it is so excellent! I appreciate fine workmanship I appreciate you making the video about the project and not about how cutesy you can talk or joke or whatever - like an actual adult who wants to share work and projects in a straightforward manner I appreciated you working in a safe, clean, organized shop and you working safely Thank you for sharing about your reasoning for doing the project and why you did certain things I'm 72. I have watched like a hundred welding videos put out by Tips and Tricks' Jody. He is also an awesome welder. I so want to learn how to TIG weld. If there were improvements, maybe some clear arc-shots and talk a little about extending the tip for the deep angle weld. Info on the welder etc. would be nice too. Voice-over while welding, telling a bit about what and why might be nice. I liked how you talked about the rod and choices you made. Thanks for bringing this high quality video. I hope you get as much pleasure from building as I did watching and learning. Blessings to you and all those you love Neil near the 45th parallel

[@JustVoss]

Thank you Neil for the thoughtful comment, a lot of things I will take into consideration and try to incorporate into future videos.

[@greyshirt4389]

Hey Justin, I've been day dreaming of building a 2 inch rocket stove to take camping to cook, boil water on ect, digging the design you have.. how efficient would you say the mini is? If heat times are quick enough I might just build me one this size "may grab your kit"! 🤔 maybe throw up a video on time it takes to boil 2/3 cups of water?

[@JediStockTrader]

I noticed smoke coming out of the feed tube at the top. How can you eliminate that? The draft is not strong enough to pull from the feed tube because the bottom port you made for air is countering it...

[@MatthewWRealtor]

I'm not a professional welder by any means but yours look great! Some day I would like to get to that quality.

[@linards27]

whats amps you where using? cuz for 2 and 2.5mm stainless we use 160 pulse 30/70 with 3-4hz, idk in the video it seems so slow... and heat affected too much (cooked)
