I’ve treated a painter who developed neurological symptoms due to poisoning from the use of lead white paint. Reading up on lead fumes you can easily find the places where people got lead poisoning on a later age i.e. car battery production. I can only presume more lead fumes are produced during welding than through I.e. the use of paint. You’re health on the long term as a welder is determined by the efficiency of your fume extraction let alone welding lead. I would agree with your conclusion to weld aluminum, but not because you suck it. Those welds looked nice to me.

[@AlessioSangalli]

@@SjoerdJongerius do you have any scientific reference that tig welding lead produces lead fumes?

[@flyingby3703]

@@AlessioSangalli Welding lead creates molten lead. It’s physically impossible for there not to be lead fumes. The question is how many.

[@jonmeray713]

@@AlessioSangalli its melted metal. All metal when melted creates toxic fumes. Lead itself is a toxic material

[@RonCovell]

Well, at least you gave it a try. You're a brave man!

[@quartfeira]

Ron, is always good to see you here and there! We follow the same channels LOL 😆

[@andybtec]

and for your next trick maybe try welding oak to ash. can i suggest willow as a filler rod

[@stevelavalette6898]

Back in the day we used to make shower pans out of lead. We would solder the seems. It was indeed a tricky metal to work with. The Tig approach actually looks pretty good !

[@ndav8r]

Just received your TIG Button....love it! I have welded DC when welding balance counter weights in Aircraft tail elevators...also welded Babbit bearing porosity areas for 1900s era steam thrashers and model T engines...DC only!

[@natural_nc7230]

Just found your channel today, loved the cupholder, and the recliner.

[@patrickfarley8036]

The Mad Hatter of welding! This explains ALOT, brother! 🤣 Watching that bend test made me think "This makes as much sense as bend testing silly putty!" But wtf, if you're not having fun doin what your doin, your wasting your time! ✌️

[@6061]

You get it

[@madcapmagician6018]

im surprised how strong that joint was 🤯

[@G53X0Y0Z0]

100 proof

[@rb70383]

I’ve said that before when I wasn’t welding…

[@AlessioSangalli]

TIG welding lead was something I wanted to try last year, and that I might have to do at some point to fabricate a specific shape for an electolisys device. I would have bet money that it needed AC but you clearly showed DC is better for lead.

[@stevesteve6506]

I’ve been with you for 8 years! And gave the first thumbs up! I’m wayyyy better…… 🤣

[@jamd977]

Parody at the end was priceless, thanks for the laugh. But yes future welders be careful what you weld can be dangerous.

That last bit of writhing in the floor was hilarious! Good job at attempting to tig weld lead. I wonder if solvent washing the lead after wire brushing would make a difference.

[@tylervanorman492]

The ending was amazing.

[@dustinscheller7795]

I raced gncc for years, unless your on the front row you just get suffocated by the 2 strokes running leaded vp race fuel and 4 strokes as well, the worst part is it smells amazing

[@quademasters249]

There have been studies that suggest the high crime rates on the '70's were caused by leaded fuel causing brain problems. Since we've gone unleaded, our crime rate has fallen to historical lows.

I can't imagine the fumes and out-gassing that's going on. You can get a quick test to check for heavy metals or most metals in your blood.

Interesting ! - & a much better result than I'd have expected. So how about TIG welding Zinc ?

[@blueeyes242128]

pinpoint heat control - instead of an arc-rod i use a 000 brazing tip (big electric forktruck batts are leaded together - i'm a professional batt and charger tech) - i'm curious about the argon - we lead in without flux so the oxy on the torch has to be turned down below normal and prepwork is super critical

@@johnmcquillan733 Ah, I see why you might be confused. Aaron used annealed lead for his example, structural lead projects always use tempered lead 😂.

Can you do an outside corner in lead? And share the settings? I was trying this last year, but it seems very sensitive to heat. Very. All seems to be going OK, then suddenly it's a hole. Chill blocks help. Pulse should have helped, but always seemed too hot.

Yeah laywire and weave works a treat on lead T fillet. If it's a butt join just run with it. Gravity really works against you with lead.

[@invertedpolarity6890]

As long as you are heating up the metal just enough the melt it and not exceeding 1000F, lead does not produce any lead vapors. You are perfectly safe.

[@MrM-or6uh]

Of course. Sure the plasma from the electric arc is clearly below 1000F.

[@jonmeray713]

That arc is 6000 degrees

[@brushhaidinger2506]

Perfectly wrong. Any liquid phase produces vapors. Vapors are even given off by hot solids.
