This Machine "Welds" Plastic

[@bubbaj4213]

Cool review really enjoy your honesty! The helmet comparison reminded me off an old Bell motorcycle helmet add you might have seen it on old auto stuff “If you have a $10 head - wear a $10 helmet”. Kinda corny but food for thought. Keep up the cool stuff Guys.

[@roberta4989]

Outstanding product review. No marketing hype, just the facts and product use. The welding helmet comparison was interesting.

[@Metaz]

I found you guys from your 4-years-into-one-video-of-the-move-to-the-new-shop :D Always admired crafters. It doesn't matter if it's 3d design for printing, blacksmithing or sheet working and welding.

Here are some helpful hints on using a plastic "welder"... 1. when stapling get the staple hot off the work piece first. 2. Then make sure you are using the correct staple for the surface geometry you are repairing (ie inside corner staple for inside corners & outside staple for outside corner). 3. When you push the staple in make sure you go exactly halfway thru the material then put a slight side to side twist on it at the very end to "lock it in". 4. Always align your broken pieces as much as possible on the visible side (like a puzzle). Then use a very strong tape like metal ducting tape to hold that alignment. 5. Do all hot stapling on the backside that isn't viewable. 6. Make sure to trim all your staples. 7. Try to avoid removing any "up-welling" plastic around the staple because that is your strength!!! 8. If you must add additional plastic for strength make sure it is the same type of plastic!!!!!

Those always Surprise me! Always a great video! Have a wonderful weekend 👍👍👍

I look forward to your videos each week, I appreciate the reviews, but as a builder, I appreciate the raw building content much more. Not a slam, just intended to be raw feedback. Keep it up, either way I will continue to watch.

[@LiftArcStudios]

Got a giant build video coming this Friday :D We appreciate the feedback and support! - Walker

[@SchysCraftCo.]

😂😂😂. Love the videos guys. Funny and very informational videos. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep forge Lit. Keep making. God bless.

Something I wonder about with all the different welding helmets on the market. It seems like every manufacture has gone away from the old standard 2.25 x 4 and the 4.5 x 5.25 lenses. so when you go to buy clear cover lenses , if your helmet has been discontinued your out of luck. I use a Huntsman 490P with a cool slide that lifts the dark lens up into the helmet. There's no flip up that adds weight to the front of the helmet. and the clear replacement cover lenses are under a buck a piece. The Huntsman 451P has the 4.5 x5.25 lens and those clear cover lenses are a little over a buck a piece. Sad thing is Huntsman was sold out to Jackson and they are getting harder to find.

damn, vevor killing it

[@richbrannon5562]

your channel is like watching late night TV nothing, but infomercial

[@LiftArcStudios]

lol, well, you cant please em all, trust me when i say, serious fabrication videos are coming hot and heavy, we working our asses off over here!

[@Eagle621]

You don’t suck… been binge watching to help boost your YT ratings👍

[@LonTierney]

Watched a comparison video on welding lenses. Turns out they all block 100% UV always, and the darkening is just to help you see the weld. At least that’s what the KZbins told me…

[@denttech2515]

15:22 "Smells like customs." Perfect phrase. I've never thought of the "concentrated" smell radiating (off gassing) from newly manufactured products at the ports. Has to be aweful. I can't get that image out of my head. Thanks... I guess. The more we know

[@Hu88le]

Weld lineup, he'll Yes!

[@LiftArcStudios]

We're on it! - Walker

[@whitey7388]

@liftArcStudios if you like the miller helmet so much you have to try they optrel line. They are pricey but so worth it

[@MostlyInteresting]

I just drill or melt tiny holes across the crack and thread wire across and twist it. Kinda like stitch and glue plywood boat building. Yea those are really for thick stuff like car bumpers.

[@LiftArcStudios]

cant wait to have the perfect use for it, luckily it doesnt take up much space in the meantime

[@bradpendleton5675]

That plastic welder is kind of cool.

[@LiftArcStudios]

Right?? I think itll be a nice tool to have around.

[@brianmcmahon2216]

I would love to see the gauntlet of welders.😂 need to make it a challenge 1v1 vs Waytt

[@joyyawilliams]

Yes line up the welders

[@stephencrouch7876]

A good welding mask should stop most harmful light without changing. The reaction time from light to dark is only for visible light which is less damaging to your eyes

[@LiftArcStudios]

Interesting!

[@justinwalker6542]

Ross creations started a fab shop

[@daveloderhose874]

I’m sure all really invasive part of the plastic welding would be done on the inside avoiding any painting.

[@brianhillary7469]

Another entertaining video

[@TheShelton1111]

Love CHEAP TOOL REVIEWS but the plastic welding is useful to me Stick welding is a bonus Remember vacations are happening now so hang in there viewers will catch up when they go back to work 😂😂

[@GoldSrc_]

Regarding the auto darkening tech, since it's been around for more than 20 years, you are very unlikely to find a cheap welding mask with a slow reaction time. Liquid crystal technology is even older, so it's very hard to make a slow liquid crystal screen. Plus, even if the auto darkening failed, you'd still be protected from the UV light, leaving you with only a mildly annoying flash in the worst case.

[@CookingWithJC]

Line'm up!

[@joeystork57]

Great video yes line all the welders up and do a show lol!! Stay safe guys!!

[@LiftArcStudios]

Thats our plan, it sounds fun! i probably dont even know what all i have in the shop now, drag race time!

[@thomaspoeta6308]

Sorry you are experiencing a decrease in viewership. Not because of us. Hang in there people get busy… Y'all are really really funny and you bring a law of joy to my wife. Keep on being yourself be funny it's who you are.

[@quintenvancleemput3512]

Try tig lift function please

[@LiftArcStudios]

This is something ive never used on any of my machines but im keen to learn, i mean our company is called Lift Arc for frogs snacks! - Tay

[@quintenvancleemput3512]

@@LiftArcStudios yes me nether. I only have a stick welder, but it also has this function so if it works it would be very usefull to me

[@Jeffrose_]

Yes. Line up your welders. 😮

[@erik_dk842]

Stick welding. Named so because the bloody rods always stick to the metal instead of striking an arc.

[@notthisguy8817]

I would definitely take that little welder off your hands if you didn't want it. 😉

[@dakotamax2]

This video takes a long time to get to the point. That may affect viewership.

[@LiftArcStudios]

Im sure people say that about me all the time lol - Tay

[@rogerwhiting9310]

If your viewership is decreasing you should respond to your viewers comments more. It's all but nonexistent

[@LiftArcStudios]

You're absolutely correct! We need to make more time to engage with you guys - Walker

[@rogerwhiting9310]

@Lift Arc Studios and there is someone that now responds to followers. Thanks. I enjoy this channel.

[@19672701]

Weld helmet looks like a 90's mini truck paint job. Not against Chinese products,but great channels getting on the Vevor bandwagon is getting old. No Ellis wall banner?

[@LiftArcStudios]

We don't think Ellis really likes us after the videos we've made about the motor of their saw haha

[@19672701]

@@LiftArcStudios hope you get it figured out,that company really laid down on thier product. And did it on a relatively big platform. What a shame.
