Scrap Metal Art Chinese Chain Dragon

[@goingbonzo5923]

Very inspiring. I have a bunch of old motorcycle chain I never threw away, nice gold one too. I want to make a horse and knight. Thanks.

[@MakeItMetal]

Hey, hope you made the horse and knight. sorry for taking so long to reply.

[@emeltea33]

I've ...messed around welding some scrap chain like that. Except I used a stick welder, which can be very trying, lol. Great build!

[@MakeItMetal]

Keep at it Doug..grab some 1.2 rods and give it another shot. Thanks for stopping by buddy 👍

[@ianwhiffen]

[@MakeItMetal]

you always say the nicest things Hebe :)

[@holmesmitchell1370]

fantastic use of an old chain.

[@MakeItMetal]

i have lots, need to make some chairs to go with it soon

[@mp-fr1ds]

hi:) can you inform me about your welder and other stuff? what kind of welding are you doing in that video? what is your welder machine?

[@MakeItMetal]

Hi..in this video I either use an R-tech Tig welder or a migatronic flex 330 mig welder. Both are quite old now but very reliable units. Hope this helps. Jason

[@dmaher2007]

nice project Jason, turned out really well, Cheers.

[@MakeItMetal]

thanks Dave :)

[@stevefriedlander7053]

Excellent video. Question: after you finished the piece how did you clean rust, oils, etc.? Also, did you spray clear coat? Very creative!! Keep them coming!!

[@MakeItMetal]

hi Steve, i use a acetone solution, then clear coat. as a rule i use the acetone before i weld, saves all the hassle.

[@ingleberthumperdink9455]

You saved hassle in this video 😳 then why all the grinding. The grinder should never turn back on after you start tig welding. No joke, tacking those chain links should have taken maybe 35 seconds never lifting your lid once and adjusting slightly, maybe twice

I am Brazilian craftsman, I make sculptures with iron, recycled metals and scrap metal, here where I live and very difficult to take bread home, inside I know that I am a blessed person, unemployment caught me in 2013, My mother had an avc after From this date my life began to be different, the depression began to embrace me, the only thing that sustained my sanity, was one day to be a craftsman, I ask for an opportunity to show my art, my name is Deivid Henrique moro in Cordisburgo-MG .

[@karen4you]

I've heard of junkyard dogs, but this is a neat protector dragon for your shop!!!

[@MakeItMetal]

thats a cracking idea Karen :)

[@wizard8838]

Nice one, so there are dragon's in Wales then.

[@MakeItMetal]

[@ianwhiffen]

Hi Jason, just been catching up on some videos I've missed somehow. Loving the dragon, awesome work 👍🏼. Hope you had a fab Christmas 🎄 & New Year 🎆. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@MakeItMetal]

Thanks Hebe...good to see you back. Happy new year to you :)

Chinese chain

[@jasonwinrow]

Brill again . I'm amazed with the lack of use of filler rod . What amps are you using for the chain to tack them ???. Tried this myself after seeing your other videos and fook it's hard . Keep the projects coming

[@MakeItMetal]

thanks bbe. typically i set the tig to 60 amps for chain and use a foot pedal. most of the tacks were probably done at around full pedal (60amps)

[@BAGOTCORNER]

What's the word on that Tig Jase ? Where ? Price ? That high freq sure is nice ! Lol loved the way you did the mouth and feet !!

[@MakeItMetal]

it's an R-Tech tig 251 ac/dc..one of the better chinese manufactured brands. not sure of the price but i know there is a similar one on ebay at £1900..mine is a water cooled unit so i guess mines worth more?

[@richardlovell016]

jason andrews did you pull it out of a skip hahaha

[@muddyfences5559]

Very creative Jason. Nice work.

[@MakeItMetal]

Cheers buddy :)

[@1pcfred]

I was born in the year of the wood dragon. But steel dragons are OK too.

[@MakeItMetal]

Thanks Paul,maybe i should try wood next time?

[@1pcfred]

+jason andrews you'd better just stick with what you know, and leave wood for the experts i.imgur.com/c8su8ND.jpg
