next time you use hinges like that, consider drilling holes in the piece they're mounted to, and plug welding the holes. Can make the mounting invisible.

Great channel and content. As for the idea of MIG and TIG on the same cart, I built a cart with my MIG, TIG, and mobile plasma on the same cart with a harbor freight toolbox incorporated so I can have a place for all the related consumables, and extras in one place. I also incorporated a box that all three plug into with one 220 lead coming out as well as a single ground clamp for all three. Super handy since I'm basically lazy and unplugging one and plugging another drove me nuts. Both tanks have a place on the back of the cart. There are vertical tubes on the side for my different TIG rods.

I really like the industial looking furniture style. so I made my entire computer desk, with 25x25mm (1"x1") precicionwelded coldrolled squaretubing, I did not even grind the welds and clearcoat it :P still holds up nice after 5 years. also built me a bedframe much the same way.

[@josephkrug8579]

The superglue spray activator is a big help in times like that. I do also wonder how the computer will fit in the stand...cool build in any case.

[@mrdddeeezzzweldor5039]

Love these utilitarian fabrication projects and the creativity that went into it. Seeing it with the pallet wood mounted would be icing on that steel cake. Weld on brothers!

[@jondavidmcnabb]

Gentlemen, since your customers like the "industrial" look, might i suggest you become familiar with rust blueing? It has an incredible look that most manufacturers can't mimic.

[@Hu88le]

Really nice work 👍

[@melgross]

Nice little build.

[@greekgods3399]

love it

[@grandmajosephine383]

It would be appreciated if you shared your pricing for projects such as this. Give viewers an idea of reality on custom projects and you may get more businesses.

Hey! just caught your channel with this video. I love that you keep it light and funny! I have a question about Mig. Do you in general prefer flux or gas? are there certain types of migging where you use/choose either flux or gas as your preference? From cost to amount of wire held, when you use a separate feeder or the inside the machine coil,, and especially related to the quality and durability of weld, rusty metal, 1/8" gap pipe welding, etc. I have never welded for but I am dying to do it. Also, can you discuss the difference in how you weld with solid versus flex. do you also decide based on the type, size, specs of the metals, also when welding from prints. These IGBT's seem very simple, synergistic, wave modulation, etc. This is a lot of questions, and if you do reply, or make a real short video on weld consumables in general, cover indoor and outdoor welding, and if you have any rules related to metal thickness or other parameters that have you choosing to use the $1,500.00 and up and the cheap $400 to about $1,100.00 welders which do you would choose and why? I have my personal thought regarding the +/- of cheap multi function, that offer crazy amounts of options, and the different wave possibilities, buying separate mig, tig on the cheapies,or multi. You speak of Everlast, which was the very first online cheaper IGBT welders. Besides them raising price so much, what types of issues have you come across with them? And if you could speak to the heavy duty brands, Esab, L/E Miller, if, when where its better to use them. I know there are tons of dyed in the wool Blues, Reds, etc., but Miler, was bought by a venture Capital Fund, as are almost all companies, they were lucky and smart? to borrow over 15 TRILLION at 1-2% interest over the last 6 years, and regardless of their fancy ads, Miller is very involved in getting some or all parts, sub assemblies, along with prices on the equipment, tooling, MRO, consumables, auto-pays, replace before it breaks parts that we are being pushed into. Obviously I am just as focused of the business end as well as technical sides, and I am trying to create a Foundation based company focused on GHG, recycling, pollution, water, wastewater, and expanding the program to other companies. Inflati9n right now is a totally false construct. I track all industrial auctions, pricing, what industries the individual Venture Capitalist funds, (made up mostly of a club of Billionaires). When Covid, and far worse, the massive lobby and pull the steel industry has in Washington, we saw trump put a 20% tariff on steel, only because of one 450 employee steel creation company, and U.Ss. Steel, laying off 6,700 employees shuttering their furnaces, and metering out their stock at up to $2,000 a ton from $500-$700. This time period of unrest, uncertainty and materials unavailability led to crazy pricing, but so many private VC and M&A Banks, as well as giant Corporations imply kept and are keeping their prices (and outrageous) undeserved profits that they are only lowering, very slowly, when business conditions warrant. Also the sizes, volumes of Consumer goods have been cut back, like 16oz Pasta that used to be .99 or 5 for price of 4 is the new regular. But the entirety of our "inflation" is all additional profits. That makes the Fed raise Rates, which the Banks, CC Companies, VC/MA/Private conglomerates just love, because VC and M&A 5-15 investor funds already have bought uncountable companies, brands, real estate, farmland is up 30% - Gates owns two NYC's of prime farmland, also Bezos. These amounts are not exact but illustrate how Manufacturing is losing 100,000's of thousands of employees who will never return. It is NOT because nobody wants the jobs, rather pay rates, types of jobs offered, the 550,000 robots the U.S. has bought. It used to be that if you build a 225 Million Factory, there would be about 1.5 to 2.5 workers per Million. Now, it's about 1/2 an employee for every million spent. Of course these are very broad strokes, and you can't compare a software company to heavy industry. My observations would, of course, be cut to ribbons by charts from their MBA's and CEO's. If you own a business, and you really like or love it, are more technically/operationally/creatively focused, you roughly fall into the Small or Family business when yo are hands on as your primary activity, you could be roughly called an owner/operator, and care about quality, employees, let the income come in because of the quality. Most of these need to find niches, try to have 2-3 customers worth 10% each of income, but you are more a craftsman, lover of your work and product as your primary goal. Corporations, judged by quarterly returns, stock price, where CEO's get up to 80% of their pay, which can wind up being 200, 300 times the income of the rank and file. The VC/M&A set the parameters of time length off the fund, overall annualized profit, general type of companies to buy, combine, "right size", automate, and the primary focus, large scale, is that exit date, making the final three years as immensely profitable as can be. If you are, or there is an MBA on staff, CFO, Those are generally conglomerates, and building revenue is as likely, or even more, to be from acquisitions and consolidating industries, as organic growth. An example: a company headquartered in Italy, has 51% of thee SS tube and pipe market of the entire U.S.A. Besides their primary commonality, which is that employees are the most expensive, unpredictable, cost escalating input, so NO MATTER WHAT the soft music Green Planet, Smiling Family Ads say, I get 45 Association Magazines a month, for most all of the sectors of Manufacturing, Roads and Infrastructure, Fabtech, Plastics, waste today, municipal water, Aerospace, #D and additive, Laser Focus World, etc., and reading between all the lines, as well as all the paged dedicated to buyouts, restructuring, plant combining, well bottom line is that the American People, as a whole, are facing ten years of the worst squeezing out of the best paying Industry, Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Infrastructure rebuilding, plus there is already totally over an audited so far total of 4 Trillion in the COVID PPP and Cares Fraud where companies simply took the money. There was a quadrupling in the number of flat out closes the doors and auction it all, including BIG$ cnc 2017 and newer. I also correlated it to the sale of the expensive - $400K to $1.8M Diesel Pusher RVs. W went from thousands available, with airport pickup concierge service, to nothing available AT ALL, price for a top of the line Prevost went from 1.8M to 2.9M Sorry I added this ramble, I just fear what is coming. I also have a solution, one that keeps an extra 20% of cash flowing in the economy, which represents the minimum amount of profit these new private Domestic Financial Terrorists from pulling at least that much out of the economy and pocketing that profit. josephapare emailgmail

Either I'm using a MIG nozzle holder incorrectly, or you are... or it's designed to hold both ways. I'm going to try today!! Edit - I think the yellow MIG nozzle holder is a different type of holder than that of the typical harbor freight style. I like that, you can just set it down and not balance it in the pinch of the metal.
