🔥Tig Welding a COPED TUBE JOINT!!🔥

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

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

[@anthonylehner3643]

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

[@terrycapehart6303]

Nice, have a blessed day America

[@lukepear]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@ldmaoquadrado]

Thanks for helping us to learn these tips for welding. I'm from Brazil thanks again! 🔥🤙

[@joeolejar]

Love the colors. Looks better than a paint job.

[@antonioferrer9431]

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

[@raymondbrick3453]

Full frame, yes!

[@MrCruefest2]

Absolutely try making a whole frame!

[@aaronbowe596]

I vote for a frame build!!

[@GeraldLeenerts]

Full frame build? Yes please!

[@tonymurphy5995]

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

[@MField-mq9oq]

Yes! Make a frame and ride it! Sweeet!

[@lancetaylor7526]

You should make a frame for sure!

[@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.

[@rogerhook8505]

Full frame love your vids

[@bdpgarage]

Let’s see a full frame!

[@gianniabbott3482]

You definitely have to build a frame now!

[@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!

[@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

[@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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Cool, full frame fab would be sweet!

[@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👍👍

[@stefanvalchev8066]

full frame will be very nice

[@ACDesignsGarage]

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

[@JackIT123]

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

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

[@ryderkenworthy]

Making a frame would be way sick

[@nickarcher8617]

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

[@gaspererjavec7108]

heck yeah, make a full frame :D

[@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!🙏

[@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!!! 🔥👍🏼🔥

[@thahoustonbassrunnaz4389]

Definitely do a frame please sir! 💪🏾

Thanks! It’s my obsession...!😂🙏

[@gregwilkins7649]

Pretty sweet demo Dusty.

[@steffore1]

Great control 👍🏽

[@randywl8925]

I love your positive vibes. Your personality comes across so well and I think that helps you teach because people have total trust and confidence in the advice you offer. I don't weld but if I had the equipment and was learning, you are the person I'd like for my instructor. I'm approaching 64 and my last weld was in 1975. 😁

[@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

[@Mleaming]

Nice video, thanks Dusty.

[@otakudisciple4457]

You should definitely do a whole frame !

[@davidkina5627]

Fantastic video as always Dusty. Thanks for taking the time to share & looking forward to many more vid's Peace Bro..

[@hossfox30]

Remarkable work!!

[@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.

[@-SAKILAN]

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

[@cameronjennings6514]

Do a full frame!

[@MrCreepermax16]

I am about to build my second bike frame and I must say you sir are a master! Definitely going to try and copy your technique because this looks awesome

[@Barkerslock]

I'm an old, old BMXr from back in the '70s. Building my own bikes was where I was first introduced to TIG welding craft. I'm decades too old to ride and I'm beginning to struggle with eyes and hands while welding. I very much appreciate your passion and especially your skill level & ability to run those beautiful beads. You make it look easy. A sign of a true professional. This video demonstrated welding stainless tubing. A different animal than moly. I haven't searched through all your vids, but I haven't seen one of you welding 4130 tubing yet, such as would normally be used in a bike frame application. Have you done one? I'd like to know what setup you prefer, filler, etc. The TIG welding craft has changed immensely since I first started. Welding is not my full time profession these days. Keeping up with the changes seems to be more challenging. Being an old geezer, actually making those changes is sometimes the biggest challenge of all. ;-)

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Amazing skills.

[@yellowrice1453]

Just found your channel. So far I like.ill have to start watching your older videos. Also a fellow bmx-er. Don’t ride as often as I use to but I’ll always have my bike when I need it.

[@georgepsilos7763]

Excellent job. Ωραια δουλειά .. Greetings from Greece

[@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.

[@myrx2]

This definitely helps me as im looking at making my own gokart chassis.

[@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.

[@5PYZ3R]

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

[@kcmedia8185]

Bmx and also a fab guy!

[@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 :)

[@vehdynam]

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

[@donaldsutherland244]

Inspiring! Thank you!

[@_ParkShark_]

Was super stoked to watch this video, im exited to see what other bmx related videos you come out with next, i use to ride 20" wheel bmx but had to switch to a 24" wheel cuz of a shoulder injury

[@ronburg6914]

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

It’s beautiful

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..!

[@split150]

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

[@jessehalfacre6543]

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

[@lukedeatley9480]

Rode box my whole life bro defiantly do a frame that’d be sick then make a video of you riding on it that’d be sick! Love the videos as always man!

[@eglicomet]

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

[@olavvaa8411]

Make a frame!🤩

[@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.

[@larrymoore5394]

Nice video LARRY MOORE

[@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, 💪👊😎

[@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🤙🤙🤙

[@buyafaruk2435]

Good job, hope it is useful

[@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.🤗

[@chrisfellows9497]

I ride bmx too and would love to see a full frame build 🤟

[@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

[@justinwilson4860]

Full frame!!

[@kennyh80]

Bro! Thank you for this video! I love your channel and humble attitude! I am building an airboat cage from 304 .065 3/4 and 7/8 od tubing and it has tons of cope joints. Before starting I searched high and low for any videos of ss tubing and found very little info. I am welding in absolutely every position imaginable and I've spent the last two weekends contorted in and around hot tubing trying to make nice welds and get practice before welding out the engine stand. I am running an Everlast set up to nearly the exact settings as you're running but only running 20cfh. Also only running a #8 on a ck20. Gonna bump up that gas flow and order edge cups today! Looks like I'm also not adding as much filler as you so I need to focus on that as well. I assume your using 3/32 filler? Again! THANK YOU SO MUCH for the video. I learned o much from such a short video. I do still have a few questions and would like to share some pics of my progress. I will go to your site and try to find a way to contact you there.

[@MidEngineering]

3/32 filler rod would be way too thick for .065 wall tubing. Looks to me like Dusty's filler wire is only about half the size of his Tungsten, maybe only .040" ? (which is what I'd be using on something like this).

[@kennyh80]

You are correct sir. I did type 3/32 but I am using 1/16 (which may still be to large) but it does help cool the coped side of the joints.

[@thorstenkuper9156]

Very nice....👌👍

[@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

[@TheBikerDodge]

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

[@chrisparrott387]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@EDMDoc]

Hey Dusty. I'm a tool and die maker/machinist on Vancouver Island (Mid Island in Errington).

[@jackbacic868]

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

[@maxgrass8134]

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

[@nickthelebo]

Lol looks like your building a frame next :p

[@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?

[@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?

[@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

[@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.

[@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?

[@Goesinya69]

First! Thank you for the vid! And can you tell me a little on how the SS reacts compared to other materials?? I'm learning on my own with your help and aluminum was a little different for me in the fact that I had to wait a lot longer before I could hit it again compared to regular steel! My 2nd and 3rd passes on my aluminum turned out runny

[@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.
