This is part one of Spicer Designs biggest CNC job to date. I got this job from a company I do work at time to time. The customer wants two identical signs for they're logo to be mounted in two locations on the property. Part two I will finish off the job by getting them powder coated, delivered and mounted. I will also give a complete cost breakdown. Thanks for watching and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!

I would import that image into Inkscape., use the trace bitmap tool. save as SVG, import into Fusion.

[@guzzifabrication3448]

From Guzzi Fabrication to you, bronze or aluminum rivits ( 1/4'' rivits ? - 10'' - 12'' spacing? ).... incorperate the holes into your cad then line up and drill reinforcement holes. If you get too much penetration the weld will fall through to the face of the sign.... Rock on brother.

[@jacoweber8353]

you could tile and move that long plate and cut it on your own plasma

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

I could. It was way more cost effective to sub it out in this case. No material handling besides picking it up. Id like to just get a bigger table.

[@SBIGDTSM]

Nice work. When I got my spool gun for my mig, took me ages to get it to flow right, did get some nice welds eventually. I made a box gutter with mine so had to hold rain water, didn’t even leak once.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Man you got some balls!! A job like that for your first aluminum weld job, that’s crazy! Looks like you got it figured out and it looks amazing to this point!

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Hah i was getting pretty frustrated. The initial arc is what i can get o look good. Everything after that looks fine. I still have one more to make too.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

You may have already researched it but, they say to have dedicated grinding pads and files and everything for aluminum weld to keep contaminates out. Clean the material extremely well and even knew stuff needs cleaned for any surface oxidation. Best of luck with it, that’s a lot of time and money right there! Oh, and does keystone girl wear a hat all the time or just for the videos?

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

@@OneEyeCustoms good info on the aluminum. No she never wears a hat other than the videos. Ill make her do her hair next time.

[@4legdfishman]

Sign looks great! I'm afraid to weld aluminum! Hahaha 🤣 Miller Lite? At least she has slightly better taste in beer. 😉 If you want to try burning larger pieces, check out the NTD Racing channel, he's got an indexing video on burning larger pieces on his Crossfire Pro. Thanks for sharing your talents!

[@ozzyozzy6728]

Looks beautiful

[@spraggerm]

great work Kyle and Keystone girl !

[@Cameronsault]

Great work guys!.. Aluminum is challenging one!

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

It definitely is. I should have picked a smaller job to learn on. Thanks for the comment.

[@LoBeau53]

If you are getting soot, more cleaning and push your weld with a 15 deg. gun angle rather than pull it. Just a bit of preheat helps big time as well.

[@joechacon8985]

Was hoping I would saw you do some indexing on that sign. Wanted to learn something new.

[@craigfuller6187]

Great video.

[@tomster70]

Like the sign. Like that you took on the job knowing you hadn't MIG welded aluminum to that point. TIG is also an option. You never had a follow up showing the completed sign! Would have liked to see it after powder coating.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thank you! If you go on the community post of my channel page i left some picture of it finished. Came out awesome

[@smallgarageworkshop6119]

Super stuff mate that is

[@tomgambrell6698]

Very cool!

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks Tom!

[@Blobby_Hill]

I'd tig weld it before using a spool gun lol.

[@tonywilliams4697]

You do very nice work! Your videos are a blast to watch.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks. I try to make them somewhat entertaining.

[@jackonthefarm5540]

Looked for the follow-on video... couldn't find it. Is it there?

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Theres not one. I will post the finished product on the community post. They turned out great.

[@JakeTheSnake509]

nice work.

[@JesseKlaus]

For those laid in letters itd look pretty good with LED strip light illuminating that cavity. Could alsp put lighting behind the stand off letters as well.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

I agree. I try to stay away from lighting as much as i can. Especially outdoors. Theyre all made so cheap no id be getting call backs all the time. It would look good though.

[@JesseKlaus]

@@SpicerDesignsLLC yeah that's a fair argument. Out of curiosity have you looked into the Squickmons machines? I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a Langmuir XR but recently saw them.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

@@JesseKlaus no i havent. Ill have to check them out. I would like to upgrade to the XR.

[@tricksyhobbitses1695]

Spoolgun should be spray transfer, not short circuit transfer. Crank up that heat and wire speed.

[@JupiterMoJo]

Just because you stayed at a Holiday Inn last night doesn't mean you can weld aluminum on your first try. 🤑

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Oh i got it. Next one will go better. Im lost on the Holiday inn part though.

[@HoldYourSeahorses]

I just found this channel today and immediately subscribed. Your videos are fantastic, well above the curve on production quality and entertainment. I'm racking my brain on why you're at less than 5k subs and not up to a million by now. Please keep the content coming and subs will come as well. You just need one lucky video to go big and you'll be beating off sponsors and subscribers with both hands!

[@HoldYourSeahorses]

Also, where's part 2?

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks Brian. I really appreciate the comment. Im am hoping for that big break one day. I didnt end up making a part 2 unfortunately but i do have pictures of the finished product installed on our instagram page. Thanks for watching!

[@plasmaman9592]

You probably made enough off that sign to buy a TIG welder which would have been so much easier for welding that aluminum

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

You are right about that. Tig welder is next on my list

[@jasondyson2932]

Just came across your channel and subscribed. You do some pretty good work. I own a welding company but I've thought about getting into cnc work as well. I think now would be a good time to use those tools you got to make a bottle rack so you don't end up shooting a missile through your wall ;)

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Thanks for subscribing! Hope your enjoying the channel. I actually have a video coming up in the next month or so to take care of the bottles. But yes i agree. Thanks for the comments.

[@colonialroofingofnorthcaro441]

So, do we get to see the finished product, I looked for the video but didn't see it

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Yes. I will put some pictures on the community post. I keep forgetting about it.

[@ScH3DuL3MxCRoCkR3D]

I'm confused. You welded the backer plate to the sign, and then the next frame it wasn't there?? And then you bolted them on after. Was that a whoopsie daisy?

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Mmh idk. Ill have to rewatch it. I might have done something in editing at different time frames.

[@ScH3DuL3MxCRoCkR3D]

@Spicer Designs it was at 9:40. You said "next I'm going to weld the backer plate over the address," and you were welding it on, and then it wasn't there. No criticism or anything, just trying to get the whole process.

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

@@ScH3DuL3MxCRoCkR3D ohh. I was probably welding the stand offs on for the backer. Then i removed it to weld the frame on.

[@Michaelpalazzolo-rd4sz]

What did you cover the holes with? How did it hold up to the powdercoating temps?

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

I filled the holes with weld. It turned out amazing. Customer was very happy. I made two of them. Ill have to post the finished product on here.

[@stevendavies98]

I wanna thank you for putting my name on a sign 😆 Wrong state and country, but hey cant be to picky now. 😂

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Hah! Hey no problem at all.

[@torowazup1]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼🍺🍺😎

[@jmachado6834]

Is that a HF welding helmet? If so i feel like theres a bit of hope for me in trying to get somwhere with my own stuff...

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

Hah! It was. It works. I still use that thing. I did recently get a new one.

[@jmachado6834]

I have langmuirs smaller table.... 4 yrs now and just about to start using it.. finally got the compressor to run it... When u upgrade to the bigger table,and if you're looking to help a person further their abilities, I'd be more than happy to accept your table😁. Just saying..

[@SpicerDesignsLLC]

@@jmachado6834 i will let you know. Ill likely be selling that one. I just installed a new water table on it. I made a video about it
