Brandon, what you said at the start is really what makes KZbin channels like yours so great for EVERYONE (beginner-expert/weekend warriors-welding business owners) to watch. Every fabricator has different ways of thinking 🤔 and one isn't necessarily better than another, just different. I always enjoy watching someone else's thought process and picking up new tricks along the way. A welder who's been in the trade for decades can always learn new things from the apprentice he or she is teaching providing he or she has an open mind and not the old school my way or the highway mindset😉

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks man I appreciate it! @Apex Custom Smokers. You hit the nail on the head perfectly! "A welder who's been in the trade for decades can always learn new things from the apprentice he or she is teaching providing he or she has an open mind and not the old school my way or the highway mindset". < This statement here holds true to a lot of things in life! Well said brother! 👍🙏

[@jimmacsuga2592]

You have done it again. Thank you for giving us additional information and ideas to do our own fabrication. If you can, make it!!! Lots cheaper and will do the job to YOUR exact specifications and needs. The weld method is relatively irrevelant because we all have different welders and means to weld, but the method is much the same. Well done!!! Did you by chance consider the idea of an adjustable piece that has BOTH styles of lifts but put on a swivel on the top of the lift??? That would have been fun too!!! Then, you would have the two methods of lift on one device and not have to take one out to change, and it would always be there and not have to look for the right type of lift for the bike you are working on!!! Just a thought.

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks Jim. Thats an excellent idea! 😁👍

[@TheMaddogronh]

Thanks for the video,, On gloves,, I normally do use them and the only time I didn't the grinder got bound and jurked out of my hands and as it did it wrapped the cord around my left arm,, and when it did break lose it got my hand,, that turned out to be a bloody mess , would have been much less if I had gloves on.

[@BrandonLund]

I'm with you on that. Scarry stuff! It only takes a second and its to the bone.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Multipurpose tools are always the best... nice upgrade for the stand with the spools @Brandon Lund

[@rudyrivera7426]

You’re so informative! In what you do! And want every viewer on the same page! In what your doing! You CARE….Thanks! for that! 👍👍

[@BrandonLund]

@Rudy Rivera you made my night brother! Thank you! 🙏👍😁 I'm very passionate about metal working and I try to make sure everyone watching is up to speed. Thanks again for being a loyal viewer.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Final project cane out well I think the plasti dip is a great ideas as well @Brandon Lund

[@jakeschisler7525]

This year was the first time I tried plastic dip. I started using it all kinds of things. I don't know much but I try to learn from other people. You would make a great teacher in my book. Your channel rocks!

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks Jake i appreciate it!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Thanks for the tip on the readers I turned 49 June 8th and man the old age is catching up arthritis in hands and knees and back for being a mechanic and computer tech for wrists the readers do help @Brandon Lund

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

That machine tig welds super clean 👌

[@BrandonLund]

I'm super happy with it!

[@houndofgoshen5363]

Great job man!!!! I really appreciate the time you put into your videos. The narrative is always on point and video quality exceptional. Many thanks for the great info you share

[@BrandonLund]

I appreciate that!

[@neddyl1225]

Nice video. I've nearly finished creating my own paddock stand from scrap 1" box section. It's nowhere near as good as yours, but it's my own design and all my own work. It may not be pretty, but it gives me a real sense of accomplishment.

[@BrandonLund]

That is awesome! It's always a great feeling when you build something VS buying it!

[@bazkeen]

Nice little job. Good one Brandon. Good way to spend my Sunday afternoon after work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks Basil!

[@91turbohb]

i know all about hand injuries, ive injured both hands , mainly the right hand as its the one i use the most. I have even got my thumb in a bench grinder

[@BrandonLund]

Hand injuries are never fun

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Appreciate the information on metals depot because it's 154 miles 1 way for me to get to a metal supply so this will help a ton @Brandon Lund

[@BrandonLund]

I remember you saying a while back it was a good distance to the metal supply store. I'm real happy with them. Like I said, the shipping can get pricy but they have distribution centers all over so likely you will have a distribution center near you being out west than I will here being on the east coast.

[@donaldhalls2189]

Thanks again for all the information, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@BrandonLund]

Thank you very much and same to you and yours

[@Farm_fab]

Brandon, you could make a stop for your Evolution saw that could hook under the left or right edge of the base of the saw and be portable. I've not gone to the cold cutting saw yet, but I do plan to do that in the future. In the past, rented a welding shop on the farm where my shop is, but they sold the business, and the shed where their generator was to power their business is now where I have my shop for now.

[@BrandonLund]

Thats a great idea @Bryant Fry! i'm going to look into something like that. Thanks! When you pick one up you are going to be on cloud 9. I ruined my 1st blade because i was cutting stock by just putting it into the saw like you would if you were cutting wood. Once i started cutting metal on the bias is when my blades started lasting real long. It's why i mention it in a lot of my videos.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Purddy smart Brandon, worked out really good. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.

[@BrandonLund]

As always Fred I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@mtrltoolman]

Good job Brandon.

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks man I appreciate it!

[@joewhitney4097]

Nice project video. Thanks for sharing.

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks for watching!

[@frankward709]

I Need little no help seeing the puddle 250 magnification reading glasses So I got an insert lens for 250 in my Helmet Works great thanks for the video

[@BrandonLund]

A cheater lens definately helps! @Frank Ward. I think I need to get one for my hod also. Much more convenient than glasses.

[@paulp96275]

Great Brandon multi use 👍👨🏻‍🏭🇬🇧

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks man!

[@TerryHernlund]

I'm not a bike guy and would have no use for this, but I always learn something from your videos. If you had a Patreon I'd certainly throw in a buck or two. I see one of your affiliate links is for the Irwin chamfers. I always get chatter with those types and a rough-ish cut. I prefer a cross-hole cutter. Opinion?

[@BrandonLund]

@Terry Hernlund thanks man! I agree with you about getting chatter using the chamferbits and i agree the cross cutting bits run smoother. I'm cheap so when i start getting chatter i sharpen my bits although i'm not sure you are supposed to so they last me for a very long time. i'm not sure if the cross hole cutters can be sharpened?

[@TerryHernlund]

@@BrandonLund You can sharpen them with a Dremel tool and a fine grit drum. Look up sharpening Weldon countersinks. Here's an old video on it. This guy gives kind of a long explanation of them, but about 3/4 through is a demo sharpening one. Pretty easy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpebp4Nupb6kq7c

[@JimmyLee0757]

I've been thinking that I need to fab a jig to hold square tubing o my HF abrasive chop saw.

[@BrandonLund]

Ive done it bothnways and you will get a lot longer blade life if you do.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Do you got a link to this blue demon rod I can't seem to find it on amazon Bro @Brandon Lund

[@BrandonLund]

I actually bought it at local welding supply store but I cant believe it's not on Amazon. They seem to have a bunch of Blue Demon wire. I was using 3/32" ER70S2 its good stuff bro

[@nat15.9]

I’m new here, just want to know if there’s kind of a general/recommended settings of TIG welding (pre-flow - start current - upslope - current - downslope - post flow) according to each material and its thickness?. Just like they always have a settings chart attached for Voltages and Wire speed adjustments based on material thickness for MIG welding equipment.

[@BrandonLund]

There are some basic settings but much is based on cup size, material and thickness. I like to refer to the Miller Weld Calculator online and it will give you all of this information.

[@scottchastain1382]

Thanks

[@BrandonLund]

Anytime brother! Thanks for watching!

[@Tubeagrutis]

Love it!!!

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks man I appreciate it!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

So many cuttings tools these days you could use a circular saw with a metal blade , hack saw , recip, 3 inch cut off tool , jig saw list goes on bro lol @Brandon Lund

[@BrandonLund]

I know right! When I started I was using a hack saw! Granted I was young but still had a strong interest at a super young age.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I prefer to wear gloves when grinding especially grinding something that tour holding it only takes a second for the grinder to catch wrong and deflect and slam the wheel into your hand holding the material rather sacrifice gloves over my hands @Brandon Lund

[@BrandonLund]

I agree 100%

[@PaydayGabeBCNV]

Wicked Cool 😎 dude👍. Safe 4th 🇺🇲 weekend 🍻.

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks man and you too!

[@Farm_fab]

As for using gloves, OSHA says that they are not allowed on rotating equipment like saws, drills and the like. Years ago I had to rush a coworker to urgent care because he was wearing gloves on a gang saw, and the blade pulled his hand into one of the blades. Though he didn't loose any digits, he very easily could have. I agree with OSHA on some thing, and disagree on others. However, at work, I do follow the rules as no one wants to loose their job over one's boss being fined for a violation.

[@davewest5776]

I work in fab drills no gloves grinders and cutting discs always use gloves brandon I wear glasses have my safely spec's set up like reading glasses but to 2 ft great for welding bummer to walk around in

[@BrandonLund]

@Bryant Fry Scary stuff man! I've had simular close calls over the years and it's never fun. Unrelated, (i think the statute of limitations is up to be fined lol) I was inside a fiberglass silo 22 feet up that was filled with whiffle balls. It was an air scrubber at a sewer treatment plant. I was gluing up a piece of 8" pvc when my light went out. My assistant (without my knowledge) lit his lighter. The minute it sparked the fumes exploded with us inside. The pvc glue caught fire, my hands caught fire from throwing out whiffle balls that had burning pvc glue on them. Needless to say no one was seriously hurt and nothing caught fire but getting hurt happens in an instant.

[@BrandonLund]

Thats pretty much what i do @Dave West. You gave me a chuckle walking around with readers because it messes me up too. Thats a great idea about setting your safety glasses up this way!

[@ostosix]

i like the coment about im an adult and i pay my own medical cover! Ha Ha cheers, welding table looks a nice size

[@BrandonLund]

Hahahaha Sometimes you just gotta call it what it is lol. The table is actually really a great size. Sometimes I wish it was a little bigger but for most of the projects I do it works out great. Thanks again!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

19mm socket and a 10mm socket just putting it in chat because you didn't say what size sockets you used to make the template @Brandon Lund

[@BrandonLund]

Hahahaha good eye brother! 🙏👍

[@torowazup1]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼🍺😎

[@BrandonLund]

Thanks Max!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Can't wait to get mine tge welder should be here in October Wish they would of just sent me one since i promote yes welders all the time... Did you buy yours Brandon or did they send it to ya? @Brandon Lund

[@BrandonLund]

The CT2050 they sent me. The other I bough. So far I'm very impressed with their stuff

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Bluedemon always makes good quality accessories and Rods @Brandon Lund

[@BrandonLund]

I havent used a lot of their consumable products. I have a welder of theirs I absolutely love but they stopped making it so I dont feature it on the channel. I try to use things that a consumer can get their hands on so even though it's one of my favorite stick welders it sits on a shelf. I just bought a roll of Blue Demon silicon bronze MIG wire and repaired some cast iron with it. WOW. Wait until you see it. Thats what I'm working on this week.
