🔥Tig Welding a COPED TUBE JOINT!!🔥

Today I wanted to rip a Tig Welding demo and try to run some passes over a fun little coped tube joint... and mock it up to look like a BMX frame apparently! This was a FUN one, and got me wanting to make a frame now...! Should I???? Let me know in the comments if you do:)
7/8" 304 stainless steel tubing.
1/16" (1.6mm) 316L Stainless filler wire
70 amps, DC-
Gas CFH 25, #12 cup

Thanks for checking this one out! Check out my latest project 🔥🔥 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqHRk4Bqd72kiJI

[@lukeshaffer3837]

Yes you should definitely do a full frame build.

[@kevinsundquist1989]

Full stainless frame and then do some artwork welding on it would be so sick

[@solomonstello]

Love your welding skills and wish I could make myself a bike.

[@dannyb2005]

Dude, definitely build a frame. I'd love that episode. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Then you have a new frame that you can write off as a business expense. Win win, buddy.

[@dannyb2005]

Even better. Build a frame, tattoo it with some epic weld art, then stunt on everyone at the competition.

[@rimmer3639]

Totally agreed, full frame, covered with a snake/dragon art

[@lukepear]

I really wouldn't mind to see Your amazing skill having a go with a custom bmx frame. that would be nice;D

[@joeolejar]

Love the colors. Looks better than a paint job.

[@Charlieman.]

So psyched I had to leave a second comment. Thought I would list some things your viewers might like to see: START UP. toughest bit. How do you avoid burn back - super frustrating for a lot of us? How much amperage out of the gate? How do you clamp and hold for tacking? How do you tack without causing it to just gap on opposite side of tube. LONG PASS: Tricks to get good long pass. Body and hand position. Work position in relation to hands. Tips to getting nice long passes and torch angle tips. BONUS - do a mild steel in same wall thickness and compare strategy/technique points from above. Love your work. Thanks! *edit - would be interesting to see the non-welding glass screened shots - then a welding glass screen shot of the same shot (two phones!) so that we can see both detail and hand/rod technique - it possible.

[@nickarcher8617]

I would like to see a full frame! Building your own bike would be pretty gratifying i think.

[@chrisbec3313]

Cool, full frame fab would be sweet!

[@HouseofChop]

Hell yeah! Was just welding up coped joints last night for a bit of practice. Got a bunch more to do I’ll be taking this lesson back out there with me. Let’s see that full frame build!!! 🔥👍🏼🔥

[@JackIT123]

Would love to see a frame build video. Keep up the good work!

[@gianniabbott3482]

You definitely have to build a frame now!

[@thahoustonbassrunnaz4389]

Definitely do a frame please sir! 💪🏾

[@richarcruz7843]

Positive mind Faith an Peace Thank u for helping me always Dusty on this new Journey in my life of th Tig world thank u God Bless u an ur Family 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@mikelight2965]

Awesome that you just want someone to do something cool! Cheers bud! Keep up the vids

[@gaspererjavec7108]

heck yeah, make a full frame :D

[@4thgenZ28]

Great video as always! Thanks for sharing your tips with us. God bless you and have a great day Dusty!

[@maxgrass8134]

29ers! Can't believe you never made a frame before!!!

[@sktigwelding]

Perfect,precision💯💯💯great job Dusty.

[@jaredmcquiniff5362]

Great video! I would absolutely love to see you build a frame!!! Something I’ve pondered many times myself, just need a little more hood time

[@baggedmazda666]

One thing I have found if you ever raced Bmx for the most part you end up a gear head. All but one of the guys at our hobby shop did Bmx and all of us where drawn to the same custom trucks

[@eglicomet]

What dictates the need for purging when you're welding tubing? Thanks for making these videos.

[@nowherebrain]

autum bikes! I just watched one of your videos and saw a bike...now I can't stop...I have an autum frame katze v2..german company...good frame...loves me some bmx.... old school DMC, osbourne, volker all those guys.

[@gregwilkins7649]

Pretty sweet demo Dusty.

[@superkev1099]

surprised you haven't made a frame of you own yet.. would love to see it!

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Yeah... maybe will do a little frame exercise soon I think!:) Thanks for watching!

[@roberthunt220]

Hell yeah man I would be keen as to see you make a frame. Been riding for over 10 years now trying to get the son in to it

[@dtiydr]

@@PacificArcTigWelding And sell it on Ebay and get a ton of money, I'd put in a bid for sure.

[@Andrewsiffer]

First you should make a frame jig 👍. I love tig and bmx! s&m credence 👊🤙

[@roberthunt220]

@@Andrewsiffer yeah a frame jig would help

[@PCFithian]

Excellent video, Dusty! Your videos have helped me greatly in my quest to learn TIG welding. I am building welding skills now so I can make 1" OD / 0.065" wall 304 stainless steel bow rails for the 25' Tolman Skiff that I built.

[@paulcampbell4545]

Full frame!!

[@justinwilson4860]

Full frame!!

[@thorstenkuper9156]

Very nice....👌👍

[@southeastgenivs1246]

In for full frame build! Love your videos. So clear, and your way of explaining is perfect. I also like seeing the little side view of your welder

[@milesmoore5422]

What size and grade filler ? How did you cope the tubing ? Show real time welding. Yes make a full Frame. Show us how U do it. Give us all the details.

[@nickthelebo]

Lol looks like your building a frame next :p

[@559rcguy4]

Bad Ass weld thinking of picking up a yeswelder Tig Hf Arc 205ds only was buy it for stick job but your video's got me want to learn Tig thanks...PS changed the car tire for my mail man Lady..!

[@williamemerson1799]

You sure make it look easy. Is that particular machine still available. Amazon says no and the website says out of stock. You might be the best salesman CANAWELD has. I'm in Va, USA so they may not have been available here anyway.

[@eskabimracing6391]

Top ...top...

[@Charlieman.]

Should you make a frame: Absolutely! For many of us who watch - we were brought here by images of the beauty of your work - often performed for art projects. However - our desire is to basically take your art and apply it to projects - like welding tubes. Am confident you will expand your base as well as please many of your current followers with more of this - as additional details will inevitably come to light on specs/settings/setup. BTW - great to have your amperage showing. So helpful. Many thanks!

[@saltysnoopy]

This is exactly the joint I weld ... sigh .. undercutting ... why such a high gas flow? I've been using 15 cfh... why not back side gas?

[@chrisparrott387]

A true art. Can you show us some titanium welding please :)

[@tonymurphy5995]

Stoked for this one I just got into stainless handrail. Thanks for the tips

[@anthonylehner3643]

You are God with a torch! And just an all-around damn cool and talented human. Yes! Full bike frame! Do it!!!😄👍

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Awesome job!! The bent filler wire tip was Rad, and for sure I wanna see a frame built!!!!!!!

[@russelljennings7822]

I ride bmx, and you definitely should do a whole frame build! I found your channel trying to improve my tig skills so thanks for all the advice you share👍👍

[@vermonty8813]

Bro, I hadn't told you yet but I was at the junkyard and found a grip of 80/20 that I have planned to use to make jigs. Last fall I sold (most of) my quiver and started over. About 2x a month I check s&m and then ebay for a covid cruiser and I pout. This video and my decision this week to invest in your class has made me think I'm really pro at making choices. I still want a hand made cruiser so I'm going to make one right here in downtown Texas (northern BMXico) excuse me while I look at fresh hub porn. Peace!

[@ezelk1337]

By all means make your own frame. As good as you are at welding it would come out beautiful. Then you could ride a "Roll your own" bike that fits you perfect.

[@coreyabraham3112]

Go for it I make a 20 inch freestyle frame a long time ago still have it I'm also the one how came up with the DYNO precel bars and showed them to GT WHEN I WAS 15 they stoll my design from me but I can still say Gary turner stoll it from me when I was 15

[@vincentliuo]

Yo bro, have you ever tried to not make puddles and drops but just twist a bit of wire around the area and heat that up? Would that work?

[@split150]

Awesome outcome. What is your setup for coping/notching? Those tubes looked perfect.

[@soundskribble]

Thank you so much for your videos! Mad skills and love your positivity! I just got a TIG welder and I'm learning from scratch, currently struggling with this type of configuration on 0.8mm thick 304 stainless. I've tried no filler and 0.8mm MIG wire after your tip on another video, but for the life of me I can't get a puddle to form that joins both surfaces. Either it's cold or I blow through. Any tips or suggestions?? Thanks again for being awesome! And you should definitely build a frame!

[@-SAKILAN]

Can you tell me what welding inspection for the welding defect on the joints of bicycle frame?

[@traviskas]

Make a frame out of Cro-Mo with some sick adjustable drop outs!

[@Rprecision]

Nice work, if you do a frame it has to be aluminum, no scratch that titanium!!!

[@clickbaitfishing7787]

Make the frame please .

[@5PYZ3R]

I would also love to see a full frame. But would it be SS, alum or cromo :hmm:

[@MrCruefest2]

Absolutely try making a whole frame!

[@buildinggnarnia8405]

Would LOVE to see you weld a BMX frame. Gearing up to fabricate one myself, so I have much appreciation for this video and any extra insights you may share in the future on getting around those tight spaces as well as heat management and starts/stops (I haven't worked much with such thin tubing as is common for bicycles, so I'll probably be taking things in somewhat shorter bites for fear of accumulating heat and blowing thru). Thanks again, and as usual your SS welds are gorgeous :)

[@raymondbrick3453]

Full frame, yes!

[@antonioferrer9431]

Dusty your the man , go for it , build that frame🙏💪🏻

[@coreyabraham3112]

Looks good I mean old school BMX grew up with a lot of the old guys Eddie fiola Martin app Rio Woody Edson Brian Scara was a good friend of mine Dave volker

[@MField-mq9oq]

Yes! Make a frame and ride it! Sweeet!

[@jessehalfacre6543]

Do it! I can’t believe you haven’t done one yet?!

[@ryderkenworthy]

Making a frame would be way sick

[@garthbutton699]

I think you did an outstanding job overall except I didn't care for the lack of joint clearance between head ,top,and down tubes thanks for the overall excellent video.🤗

[@bdpgarage]

Let’s see a full frame!

[@buriedinsanity9812]

Full frame action needed.

[@peters5333]

Dusty! Make a full bike frame

[@rogerhook8505]

Full frame love your vids

[@otakudisciple4457]

You should definitely do a whole frame !

[@philrueff1402]

Great video dude! I love the payback mention at the end... Too often I find myself asking the screen," how much throttle is he giving the foot pedal". I love the corner shot of the machine showing your amperage as you weld... I'm a newbie to Tig so watching guys like yourself killing it is super cool. I'm interested in your opinion of the clear EDGE cups you showcase on your channel regarding sight of the weld while working. I'm 50, eyes aren't as good as they use to be so any advantage I can give myself I'm open to it. Thanks for the channel and sharing your skill with the world. Phil

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Thanks Phil! I love the cups, just the ability to see is worth a lot to me. Doesn’t make a huge difference to be honest as far as gas quality goes, as I can get good results with a basic setup as well. But these cups are really nice and the visibility is pretty awesome for sure🤙🤙🤙

[@stefanvalchev8066]

full frame will be very nice

[@AndySomogyi]

Nice vid, thanks Bud. But your arc shots are kinda hard to see, I’m not sure what kind of camera or filter Jody welding tips and tricks is using, but his arc shots are easier to see. Your arc shots are like if your using too light of a shade maybe. Nice technique though

[@surreal_custom_cars]

Definitely a yeah to 20" fun I was a payed and sponsored park and street tech rider I've got a couple edits floating round youtube now I'm too old and fat but I still jump on every now and then haha usually get hurt now though haha

[@lancetaylor7526]

You should make a frame for sure!

[@rayyoung2611]

Gotta say the earliest intrigue to tig was bmx bikes was looking at welds on early 80s PK RIPPERZ REDLINE AND the like... always was super impressed by craftsmanship!

[@aaronho4242]

You should weld together a full titanium or aluminum bike

[@kenneely7899]

Nice video. How about a frame video for Cromolly. Then Aluminum. Then Titanium. Thanks for all you do.

[@H00K-KING]

I'm teaching myself how to TIG rn cuz I want to build a roll cage in my race car. Can I start/stop to get into the weird areas like you did without sacrificing strength of the weld?

[@JClark2600]

Yes you should absolutely do a full BMX frame. Maybe if you can afford it or find a customer, build it out of Ti. I'd be really interested in how you'd setup a jig to hold everything into place because as the frame and tube gets hot its going to want to twist and warp. I don't build frames but know guys who have and that seems to be the real trick, how to get the tube from warping. Also, how you would fit the collars on the headtube and bottom bracket.

[@aaronbowe596]

I vote for a frame build!!

[@cameronjennings6514]

Do a full frame!

[@MustaphaArh1]

I’d say you’re skilled but you never shared full information, impressing for views that’s it.

[@atiaaatiaa56]

You make goud job

[@charleshein5991]

Brother please 🙏 I would buy a bare frame with the colors so I could clear coat the fuk out of it and be comfortable at 270 to ride the puss out of it.. please Dusty make a frame!!

[@MiguelMorales-fu5tz]

Frame please!

[@mt6865]

Dude, Love the videos. Spent my entire childhood and teens dirt jumping and flatlanding. Makes me want to bust the bike out of the basement, I'm 37 now and haven't rode in 10 + years, not sure if my back can handle it. You should do a full flatland frame build series with a follow up video showing us some of your riding skills. Keep up the awesome work man!

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Ain’t no time too late to ride flat! I got back into it at 30- and been riding nonstop since. 38 now and more thankful for it every session. Cant wait for contest season to get back going!🙏

[@baggebuilds]

MAKE A FRAME

[@edvansrwambiwa5761]

I am happy with the awesome work you are doing l would like to learn Aluminium welding with your help l am in South Africa

[@GeraldLeenerts]

Full frame build? Yes please!

[@sblack48]

Most people I have seen use 20 cfh for argon. What is it about this job that requires more? Is it the material or the type of joint?

[@janeblogs324]

Your welds have to be convex, not concave like you made if you want them to be strong and not fatigue

[@djSpinege]

sick flatland!

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Thanks! It’s my obsession...!😂🙏

[@georgepsilos7763]

Excellent job. Ωραια δουλειά .. Greetings from Greece

[@DaveCg-yx5cq]

Could you cut the upper high bar on a bike, and attach it to the lower bike tube, to make a step thru bike?

[@jackbacic868]

when you dip filler rod pull torch back slightly so its a similar motion with both hands.

[@shaneanderson1036]

if you think your s good welder . try welding 2 coke cans base to base ! very few people can do it .

[@Thewatson77]

Yeah really. As already said...surprised you haven’t already

[@rixogtr]

I don't understand that bent filler rod lol. But nice joint

[@vehdynam]

Thank you .Very good on the random acts of kindness.

[@TheBikerDodge]

Wouldn't life be a whole lot better if everyone thought like you.

[@wndrllama103]

This is some beautiful work. I'm about to jump on a project to weld up a bunch of small diameter 0.065 stainless for my mid-engine car project. I haven't tig welded in a while, and practice last week was a miserable failure. I'm only running about 60A (everlast 200dv running on 120v), but I'm still popping through a ton just trying to lay a bead on the tube. I've never been a proficient tig welder, but this is pathetic! I watched your newer "3 welding tips..." video, and I'll keep at it. I'm making a bunch of the mistakes that you bought up. What size/type tungsten or filler rod are you running? Also, what's your opinion on back purging? Is it possible to weld a stainless butt joint correctly without it?

[@ronburg6914]

thank man i love your videos full frame would be a really cool video

[@eclecticcustoms]

Thanks for this! I'm just about to start an aluminum ladder project with 1" rungs coped onto 1.25" uprights. Any tips for doing the same on AL?

[@DCweldingAndArt]

I think it would be a fantastic idea if you Incorporated your love for BMX n tig welding and started building frames on top of doing art lol... But as I know, Art is more than enough to keep a single guy busy for years to come. Fabulous job as always D-man, killer episode and different. U r the tig art boss of youtube now man. Its official lol dabs might own Instagram, but ain't nobody doin it like my main man on the Tube, 💪👊😎
