You're above and beyond the rest, sir, you do so much to promote and edify professional work ethic and skills of your trade. Thank you! 👍

[@johnkelly7264]

All the (as you call it rambling and blah blah blah) I DEFINITELY want to hear! It's part of the goldmine of information. PLEASE keep including it.

[@Kashed]

Call me a welding nerd but, I look forward to watching 6061’s videos. The audio is a bonus! Thanks A.

[@alhubb66]

And that are some sexy welds!

Commentary was an unexpected but welcome change. It gives us a chance to hear u explain process and parts

[@zpbeats3938]

Its NOT rambling, its invaluable information for us beginners (and pros im sure!). Keep up the great vids!

[@johngalt176]

Your comments or thought process are exactly why I watch your videos

[@victoriamichellefrances1345]

Discovering that you had started talking in your videos was a welcome and lovely surprise , and an absolute treat ever since . The welding isn`t bad either 😊😊

[@DustyJLayton]

You are a practical expert. I have been watching your video's for many years and have learned many things. I routinely need to TIG non-typical things, your vast knowledge helps to point out areas of concern and best practice. Thank you!

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

Brother please keep the commentary. I learn a ton from just listening. You have a very straightforward way of explaining. Keep up the great job. I’m learning over here.

[@ultimatemonkey]

Im all of 42 seconds into this video. And i can say now , these kind of videos - doing projects for someone else , 110% need the rambling! Getting / hearing other people's thoughts and ideas is as important as hard facts when doing , out side of ideal situation, type work

[@Byzmax]

Having the dialogue and your opinions and observations are worth their weight in gold. They will also pay for themselves in the lack of scrapped parts and failed projects. Having been a fabricator for years, it's that understanding and info that makes the difference between success and failure.

[@irgtk]

The audio is definitely needed. The welding looks stellar. Thank you. 👍

[@carters2]

“Not my finest work”. Looks better than anything I have ever welded 😂

[@luisvega1294]

Enjoy the ramble here! Thanks from galveston tx! Ramble on sir!

[@10793Andy]

Agree with you when you said not to add wax & other things onto the files due to contaminating the weld joint. I usually clean the file with a stainless steel brush to remove gummed up aluminum periodically.

[@Nath-sn1mv]

Just goes to show that even after 20yrs, there's still learning to be done 🤙🏼

[@StuPierce77]

Aaron, we like the rambling….helps us learn! Thanks!

[@boostin99]

This guy is a goldmine of tricks and tips !!!

[@TheNicko773]

Awesome work. Include the blah blah blah every time. Your knowledge is gold.. Thanks for sharing.

[@zmotorsports62]

I fore one like the commentary. As a welder/fabricator I like to see how others think through the process. I always seem to learn and pick up details from your videos. Thank you. Mike

The commentry is really appreciated ✌️ Love from the UK ✌️

I really liked the supplement01, way cool 👍

I have used kangaru oil for awhile ,with zero issues.its meant for the Plantex Tiger Shark flappers,but it works on other stuff also

[@arndtcraftrace9522]

Man… I can relate 100%. Thank you for spreading truth!

[@stephen271]

Yes definitely like the commentary as is make it more clearly what and why you do things the way you do. Great videos

[@RalfyCustoms]

Happy days buddy, love the commentary, great job as always, thanks for sharing 🎉

[@TheRomeoGuy]

Either way you do the video, with or without commentary, is perfectly fine with me. Just make sure we get some good welding shots. Lol.

[@ToharSD]

Great video as always

[@robostyle9773]

Thanks so much for another great video!

Great video as usual, thanks. Have the tig button too, love it!

[@irvingduran5258]

Awesome work 😎

[@keithjurena9319]

I have drill chased porosity on aluminum and steel welding, saving pant loads of argon. Yes, using a TIG Button.

[@ajsironworks3937]

I do want the talking. It’s good to hear all the info and then to see you weld it.

[@thorstenkuper9156]

Wonderful👌👍

[@metalheartmachine]

Please, keep the set up and commentary. That is critically important for learning.

[@hoodznchromez4179]

Ive found that if you have a deep pinhole like you have there a pencil grinder with a carbide round burr works really well to locally remove the pinhole and whatever crap is inside it. Then it rewelds with no porosity afterwards.

[@curtishatfield9629]

I like the explanation.

[@scotts6503]

I like the commentary

Could you imagine telling this guy hes doing something the wrong way? 😂

[@themotofixery]

Sooooo thumbs up!

[@4speed3pedals]

Tip: try using files cut for aluminum. It will reduce the clogs. Also, keep a file card handy. Your file appears o be too fine. McMaster Carr sells files for soft and annealed metals. The cuts on them are different than what you are using.

[@6061]

Both files I use for aluminum are "aluminum specific" files. They work great. Been using my small one for at least 18 years now.

[@ljackson8220]

Talking about why you do what you do is good. There has to be a "why." Any pro fabricator's decisions are not random. Experience counts.

[@daniel635biturbo]

Curious question, If I had done this, knowing the forces on a 5" pressure pipe. I think I had done a wide V-Groove to ensure deep penetration where the pipes met in the middle. Would you have done it, likewise, if you started the job yourself ?

[@mikelight2965]

Have you ever welded the “odd” alloys like c-2?

[@PANTYEATR1]

What's good Allen? 2 things about welding that i didn't learn in vocational school that I'm curious about. 1. Welding with an aluminum spool gun and 2. Welding or brazing with silicon bronze. Could you educate me on both? Thanks💪🏆

[@jaydunbar7538]

If you can mig you can spool gun, as far as settings I cheated and got a welder smarter then me so I just tell what material and how thick and it figures the rest out lol

[@thedankduck0218]

Will your website still be helpful even if I don’t do aluminum?

[@warrenjones744]

If you have important information or thoughts on things it's not rambling on from my point of view. Is that file one specially cut for aluminum?

[@whitey7388]

Have you thought about using soap stone or chalk on the file. It should blow right off and not hurt anything

[@poordecisionsgarage9834]

Any chance you have or would do a welding course based around the older synchro wave machines? I’ve got an old 300 without any of the bells and whistles other than balance adjust. Just curious to see if you could replicate the frequency and such and how you’d do it.

[@6061]

I explain how I set up my old Syncrowave 180 on the website under the "basic welder settings" topic.

[@poordecisionsgarage9834]

@@6061 Thanks! will check it out

[@thedondy]

Stainless wire brush on the file takes the aluminium bits off handy

[@christoph4]

Please leave the commentary in its Bang on.

[@minigpracing3068]

Dumb question, do you have different files that are dedicated to aluminum, steel, stainless, etc.? I'm guessing at least files for aluminum and for steel to prevent contamination.

[@earnestbass1232]

I’m a newbie. Is there a problem with welding a good hot weld that’s not to attractive then going back over it with a pulse and no filler to smooth it and make it look better ?

[@funfun8095]

Like Led Zeppelin said..."Ramble On". :)

[@18JamesBlond]

Do you run your welders from a generator?

[@6061]

Sometimes

[@MikeYurbasovich]

I welded a bunch of ss tubing for a turbo system on a 5000hp machine. It hasn't run yet, and I'm concerned about the pressure.

[@nicolajskovby6204]

Idk i find it that pure alcohol doesnt add impurities. And i only use files, no sandpabe or cutting wheels

[@rightleftmiddle1020]

We want the yapping, much more useful than welding footage with no context

[@letoubab8278]

If you coat the file with chalk, the aluminum will no longer adhere to the file.🤓 I don't know whether this influences your welding process Have fun Grüße aus Dakar 🇸🇳

[@treyrags]

Tell em to shut it 😄

[@marshallmazzarelli8797]

YOU EVER MIG WELD ANY ALUMINUM

File card

[@6061]

For those that don't know, a "file card" is for cleaning out files: amzn.to/3zMbeDn

[@stephendeben1590]

more rambling, talking, monologues, yapping, etc. please.

[@GroovesAndLands]

"Not my best work".... ...shows a 99.9th percentile weld...

[@poordecisionsgarage9834]

I can’t stand the “don’t back drag a file BS”. I wanna see how these same guys who decry back dragging use a hack saw.

[@DirtySideGetsDown]

I am curious about your thoughts on using aluminum brightener on older aluminum to clean it before welding. Of course I always use acetone last before welding but I have had some luck with aluminum brightener on old nasty aluminum to make it weldable.
