Me. Pick me. I've been following your channel for 10 years.

you see those cool 😎 shirts I was wearing?

Just checked again. Who would notice people shirts in front of the cool looking lathe and fancy collet chuck? You got fired!😩

You did put welder as your comment

[@aleksandarhalachev5378]

Great WELDER but your craftsmenship is what makes all videos great!

[@hasletjoe5984]

Catching some of the older videos, fantastic. Oh, you sir are not a welder, you are an Artist Extraordinaire! pure privilege to watch your work. Thank you

[@hassmakki]

Absolutely love your videos and projects. Keep it up 👍👍 This Old Tony t-shirt really made me miss him more and more.

[@threeriversforge1997]

Whatever happened to him? He hasn't posted a video in ages and I hope he's doing okay.

[@hassmakki]

@@threeriversforge1997 he posted on his community page that his father in-law passed away. This is why he hasn't been posting

[@JohnThawley]

@@hassmakki Thanks for that info. I’ve been missing him and concerned. Sorry to hear about his FIL. Best wishes to him and his family.

[@nowigot91]

I am mentioning welder in the comments. I love your videos and the style that you make them in. Keep them coming and thanks for not being fake.

[@rognavolter]

Prettiest damn air compressor housing I've laid eyes on!

[@joshfigley1452]

Good call. A professional spends most of the time prepping to do the job right the first time This makes for a good product !! Welder

[@vbhappiness]

I dont understand why you wouldn't be subscribed. Your videos are amazing to watch. Therapeutic even. The welder would be amazing to start doing little projects. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Kodakcurage]

I like the trefoil video. This welder seems like the perfect tool for that project. Count me in.

[@kenhargis9815]

I am very impressed with the quantity of welder you get for the price. I also think it would be a very easy change to incorporate your ideas about the spool and feed. Thanks for your time and for your efforts. I really enjoyed the video.

[@JohnThawley]

Congratulations Ken!!!

[@kenhargis9815]

@@JohnThawley thanks, I can't believe it. I guess that I will need to take him out fly fishing soon!

[@markneufer]

My wife and I have been watching your videos and love you fence designs. We have a horse farm and I use a small Hobart. I Hope I win the Yes welder so my wife can use it. The size and weight will be good for her. Thanks for all the great content!

[@westweld]

It would be a great machine for that easy to set up too.

[@tgoregon]

I’ve been loving your videos. The videography and honesty is fantastic. A YesWelder has actually been on my wish list for a year now. Thanks for having the giveaway. Your attention to detail on those hinges was fantastic!! Tom

[@westweld]

Thanks Tom Ill probably get some criticism for not just buying the hinges but what the point of having tools if you don't use them

[@oneshotme]

Good luck to all that enters!!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@rohansylvain1702]

Excellent video editing and quality! Keep up the great work.

[@HighCaliberCraftsman]

Love those hinges. Real clean!

[@mdagley1429]

For the money the Yes welder looks like a darn good machine I'd love to have it! Thanks for the great video and THANKS for the oportunity.

[@johnweirath1011]

A new welder is on my list but what's even cooler is that you're on the west slope...I remarked to my wife "that looks like the Monument" in this video (I've been in GJ for 24 years). I've been following you for a few months now. I agree with the other commenters below...great videography and I appreciate the honesty

[@thomaskrawchuk4940]

I am 14 years old, and would really like to start welding but do not have one yet. Really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work.

[@toteu00000]

Excelent video as always! I'm not here for the prize, but whoever gets it, i hope they put it to good use. Good luck!

[@David-qd3ff]

Don’t need the welder, just love watching your videos. Really nice work. Those hinges were/are sick!

[@charleswhalen7290]

I admire the lengths you went through on this project to avoid having to work with lumber. 😂

[@metalworksmachineshop]

11:15 YES... Ive been saying that for years... love your work.. ive been looking for a 110 volt WELDER .

[@jeromeschmitz5041]

Your videos are extremely inspiring! Whenever you build something, you learn something new. But the best thing is the tolerances in your milled components! How the pieces fit together is just incredibly satisfying to look at. In this video the hinges! 🤯 I love building things and a welder really help me! Carry on the videos as they are!!

[@welding_cut]

1:34 - this old toty? Dude, you done my day👍

[@BigPowerAL]

I’m watching this 9 months after you posted. Hope the new owner of the Yes Welder is appreciative and actually uses it. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

[@4n2earth22]

I have used a Hobart welder (220v) for the last 20 years for gas-less flux core mig. I grew up using a gas Kohler powered Linclon stick welder for equipment repairs and metal fab. The Yes Welder Mig 205 DS would be a fantastic way to get back into stick and add Tig to my arsenal. Thank you for the chance to win this mighty mite. I have been a subscriber to your channel from the first video I saw of yours. Besides excellent information, you bring class and style to the YT experience. Thanks!

[@westweld]

Thanks man good luck to you!

[@ezelk1337]

The start with breaking the beer bottle and cutting the steel was worth watching the video. Hilarious and well done. I will see rest of video to see how the welder does.

[@George-jy7op]

Cool, a cameo with the ol' lady nice. I'll be the first, I don't need a welder I have a little Lincoln 140 (110 VAC mig) where my best weld is a tack weld. Love the show brother.

[@rodneykiemele4721]

Sure who wouldn’t want to win a new welder, but I’ve watched all your videos and am a subscriber long before this draw. Because what’s really important is that your videos have such Great music, and that’s what makes you a True Welder !

[@thebigdrkiwi]

I have had my eyes on one of these yes welders for a while. I would be so thankful to receive the welder and would put it to good use as a replacement for my heavily used and poorly functioning 10 yr old harbor freight welder

[@123gonow]

I always appreciate your videos, and as I said before I am glad your taking the time to make them ! I totally agree on the spool size as portable totally means light weight and easy to maneuver around. I hate that you have to use any energy on haters and critics on you tube, but hey whatever they are on every channel. Keep up the great work its always a pleasure to get a new one from you.

[@westweld]

Thanks man I appreciate it.

[@gilbertreeves24]

This would make an awesome addition to my tiny shop

[@shawnwalker8509]

That look like a great welder. It would be great to have for home. Good luck to everyone.

[@bigblockization]

Very nice video, talk about a true craftsman, that compressor shed is wonderful, really love the hinges. Thank you.

[@westweld]

Thanks Big Al

[@JohnThawley]

I want the welder. Never had a TIG or stick and it’ll have a good home. Having said that, love all your videos and look forward to every one. This subscriber will keep coming back. And thanks for the solid for sharing your secret supplier. Clicking there now!

[@westweld]

Thanks John I appreciate it man

[@adrianalford9355]

Wouldnt mind winning the welder but what I really wanted to comment is you are 100% correct about what makes a welder, its all the fitment not just the weld beads.

[@TBJK07Jeep]

Thanks for the link to the surplus. I just ran with a few others 420ft of 1” schedule 40 pipe for air line to replace our Rapid Air plastic line that kept bursting. Keep up the good videos.

[@wesleyheeralal453]

Love your work brother can watch your videos the whole day

[@santiagosalcedo7653]

Man is always awesome to watch you work, everything clean and organize. Keep it coming 👍 I don't know if subscribers in South America can participate but I would say WELDER anyway.

[@danielschumann2548]

Great video, lots of information about the welder.

[@dannywilsher4165]

I welded for a living many years ago. I need to get back into it and start building stuff. Thanks for the chance to win a yes welder...

[@HandyManDan723]

Most people don't know, but a broken Dos Equis bottle is the most interesting and easiest way to cut steel.

[@Amagys]

Been going through your catalog of videos and honestly, the quality of these videos and their production, the quality of your work (as well as your shop), and the attention to detail in everything is first-rate. It kind of surprises me you are under 100k subscribers. It's apparent to me you're the type to want to excel in everything you do and it really shows. The videos have been entertaining, informative, and well produced even for people without an acute interest in trade skills. Thanks for the great videos.

[@westweld]

thanks I really appreciate that.....I just got a new camera so 4k quality from here on out too 🥳

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

You really do a great job with your stuff! Great designs. Great execution.

[@georgeglennon6623]

quick and easy and get job done nice enclosure

[@bhoiiii]

This would be a great addition to my shop that only has 110. Welder me. Enjoying your content.

[@ChazzC]

Great practical review of the YES Welder, but what really impressed me were the architectural-quality hinges you made for the A/C House. One thing you probably want to add to the A/C House is a couple of louvers: not only do you need a way for air to get into the compressor, but you will also need a way for cool air to get in and hot air to get out of the house. Free standing in the shop this isn't a problem, but in a small enclosure you may run into problems.

[@westweld]

Thanks, ya I still have some work to do need to insulate it so it doesn't freeze and put some kind of fan for circulation but didn't want to bore you guys.

[@zeelhazard]

I want the welder! Have been watching your channel for over 25 years

[@billbaggins]

A nice entry level machine, whover wins it should be very happy 👍 Love the compressor dunny 🤣

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Great build on the new outhouse! LOL It looks like the little welder did a nice job. New sub here, I like your editing style and honest take on the little YesWelder machine!

[@patrickbeaumier8616]

I only have a small stick welder , a mig would be nice. At least my welds would probably be nicer. Thanks for sharing. Great vid. 👍👍👍

[@jgoody7467]

Welder in the comments. New subscriber (just now). Not sure how I've missed your channel, this is the content I watch...at least the KZbin algorithm finally put us together. Let me go see what eles you have on your channel.

[@tariktarik188]

I am a mechanical Engineer in Sudan, I have been lately following your channel. Your work is very impressive, thank you very much, keep up the good work. I believe this welder will help me open my own workshop and easily produce excellent work.

[@robertjamesgilmore]

Always enjoy the videos. The Yes Welder looks like a good option for the home workshop thanks for the review.

[@nickd5943]

Great build. Compressor closet looks great. I don’t want the welder personally, but if I won it I would give it to someone whom I know needs it. It would help him greatly to get his blacksmith business off the ground. Thanks for sharing.

[@marycolleenfoley2235]

I'm a welding instructor that teaches community artistic welding to beginners. We mostly weld up yard art and little fab projects like yours. This welder would be perfect for them in the classroom if we won. Love being subscribed to your channel. Thanks for all the tips and tricks in your videos. 👍🧑🏻‍🏭

[@scottjune3554]

Wow you are really a stand up guy I'm glad I stumbled on this channel

[@jasinjames217]

I've never touched a welder in my life, but I'd sure be happy to change that with this one. Thanks for the honest review and great video

[@1kbuster]

Nice work. Love the attention to detail. Great review of the welder.

[@sdsmtmsee]

Don’t really need another welder. Just awesome videos. Keep doing what your doing!

[@westweld]

Thanks man

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

The little Yes Welder did a good job for basic household voltage. Hope that outhouse has some paper on the roll.✌

[@xdboardsurfer]

Heck yeah, the yes welder is right up my alley. Just bought a house with a shop out back and I am dying to go build something!

[@Frank-bh3cm]

Man, you produce awesome content. Wish it was more regular 🙏

[@robertadams1282]

That welder would look great in my little shop.

[@josephharrington3530]

I have an everlast mig/stick welder that i love using. I am not trying to win this one, but i hope someone who wants to get into welding wins. It would be a great little starter machine. Enjoyed the video! Moving that compressor outside is a very wise move. The tribute to this old tony's metal cutting style was epic

Love the flex arm! You can skip over me in the welder give away. I'm sure some body else needs it way more then I do. If my name get's picked just redraw somebody else. :) Great video man!

[@westweld]

Thanks man

[@markstegemeyer4962]

"Men's Room" sign was a nice touch. I was glad to see you review the welder as I'm hoping to add one to the shop at some point - maybe soon?

[@elragone4892]

Awesome video, love the honesty with the welder. Would be thrilled to have one and have a new way of building things, particularly working with metal and being able to do something other than drill holes for nuts and bolts!

[@scotts7418]

I don’t care so much about winning a welder, although it would be awesome, I genuinely enjoy watching someone fab stuff up! I love machining videos and watching a project come together! So win or not, you’ve got a subscriber and viewer out of me! Keep it up sir!

[@edelm6062]

this looks like a really good little welder. In your hands it performed well. Just the ticket for small jobs like you said and a welder that could fit my needs. thanks.

[@beansofproduction]

The ToT metal cut was great! That welder would be great to have.

[@artszabo1015]

Them's some nice hinges Brother!! Art from Ohio

[@kornelnagy3272]

This welder would be a great addition to my little shop!Thanks for the opportunity.

[@jeffpitzer8521]

That machine looks pretty nice..I recently bought a 110v Lincoln mig for portable work...I had to weld brackets to my new building to mount the overhead door hardware.. my 250 amp machine just wouldn't reach that high...love your channel...you make artistic and interesting videos...great content...I learn stuff.

[@radek4177]

I would love to have fun working with high amperage, high temperature, toxic fumes and radiation, just like you. I think this welder checks all the boxes.

[@robertogrady1321]

Thats a nice first mig welder. I hope it goes to someone that needs it and will use it 👍✊

[@jeremylewis6489]

New to channel I enjoy fabricating and use to build powder coat and install railing.. but on a small budget almost everything second hand. Good job.

[@kentuckytrapper780]

I got holbart and a few Lincoln's I would love to try out one of those I use a yes welding hood, love it.

[@xwd]

Lol everyone wants the welder so bad. Very nice idea love your channel man.

[@ironhead65]

Welder I appreciate the honest review. That's why I subbed quite some time ago. Thanks for the heads up on the auction. I don't Facebook, so I really appreciate you leaving an eBay link as well.

[@rv-eb3wu]

Very good welder review, a nice well built closet too.

[@j.zacarias3242]

Glad to see pros like you reviewing and recommending items for newbies and hobbiests. I'd love to learn to weld some day. Great videos by the way.

[@chucknorris1826]

Do I deserve it, no.. Do I want it, Yes welder.. Enjoy the content, impressive work!!

[@johnlebeau1]

Looks like a great little welder. Nice job one the AC housing.

[@MadeInMichigan]

I've never welded a thing in my life. I've been thinking of buying one of those just to learn with anyways. All the people I know who are welders act like I'm throwing money away if I'm not buying $10K of production kit right off the bat. Man, nobody's paying me by the piece, I'm trying to learn!

[@MrSnowlver]

Small spools will fit just fine on that welder. It's just like on my miller. Unscrew the screw, take of the plastic part with the drive dog and set aside (I put mine in the welder so I don't lose it). Put the small spool on and put the nut/spring etc. back on, this tensions the little spool just like it does the drive dog. I always keep small spools on hand for wire I don't use much and for backup for my usual wire sizes so I don't have to run out.

[@nefariousyawn]

I would gladly pay my share in shipping for this welder. It looks like a great way for me to finally get started. Thanks for sharing!

[@jksintl]

It would be cool to win that welder, but honestly, I'm just happy to watch your videos. I know it's a lot of work to produce one and I really appreciate the effort that goes into them. Please continue to make more and thanks for all the different links you include. I have purchased several tools that you use because I found them in your videos.

[@westweld]

Thanks John I appreciate that man

[@joewatson7965]

Well done nice cage around your air Compressor.

[@ChirpysTinkerings]

Looks like a pretty decent welder, It's odd that it has such an odd spool holder arangement. I'd be interested to see how it did with stick and tig tho, mainly tig since you said it would do that, lol. The air compressor enclosure really turned out nice and that should defenitely keep it out of the weather. I was thinking of doing something similar with the compessed air in my shop, but use just rubber hose to run between manifold blocks. Keep up the good work man.

[@westweld]

Thanks Chirpy......I did a little tig with it. its just lift arc but honestly the thing welds as good as my other welders

[@michaelmuise1688]

Great video and great review of the welder, thanks for this!
