[@RonCovell]

Aaron - Your robot-like weld beads are beautiful, as I have come to expect from you. But I think I'm even more impressed with your quick, yet accurate methods of holding a lot of fiddly little bits with enough precision to get all the gaps tight and uniform, which is key for getting those world-class beads.

[@daniel635biturbo]

Couldn't agree more, the first tack welds are the most difficult and most important. Here especially difficult since the parts are triangles, with pointy corners. It's annoying how easy it looks 😎

[@martijnjonkers2179]

Reading this comment in ron covell voice makes it even more satisfying and true

[@brentmollenhauer47]

....I think he is a robot.....( wonder if he's related to Buckethead?)

[@MJ-nb1qn]

High Praise indeed, coming from the Great Ron Covell! I’m curious how many years the welder has under his belt. I’m an old retired welder, and am impressed!

Its so peaceful and satisfying. Watching this literally makes me breathe easier.

[@tedsaylor6016]

You should get ready to weld up that 500K Sign. Great work as always!

[@TheNicko773]

Your rhythm and filler feeds are insanely consistent.. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrJules2U]

That pinky finger in the air on your torch hand is particularly stylish, mate. :)

[@G53X0Y0Z0]

Looks as nice as I envisioned Aaron.

[@ejohns4563]

Am I #1? Hell yeah! Love the channel man. I binge watch your content when I’m not able to be in the shop. Keep up the excellent work brother!

[@SmokeStakkMetal]

@ 5:45 .... Thats some of that "high class TIG welder moves" ...🤣🤣

[@scotthutson736]

Beautiful job on that, Aaron. Your skill at stacking dimes is just amazing.

[@robe4037]

Agree. 👍 using the goniometer and making the cradle jig was perfect. Great demonstration!

[@steverone7623]

Would love to see a truck tour of your mobile shop. What are the specs on the Mack?

[@jimmyrk3]

You, sir, are a welding wizard.

[@ironsmithindustries3761]

Very clean start and stops. I wish mine were that nice. I wonder if that thing could hold water.

[@BeardedBadger77]

You make Tig welding look so easy. I wish I had half your skill.

[@810Metalworks]

Just keep practicing and you’ll get there. Aaron didn’t start out like this. I always tell people that at one point, the best TIG welders sucked. You got this.

[@AlexSousa-nq1tf]

great videos. I'm always learning from your wonderful videos. Could you help me, please ? to weld a 1.2mm sheet in the aluminum material what would be the correct measure of the aluminum addition rod to make a beautiful apparent weld?

[@minitrucker04]

The consistency of your welds is incredible man, awesome job!

[@JasonHam41]

I have to ask as I’m still trying to figure out the intricacies of this. The welds are beautiful but I don’t see a scratch of penetration on to the back side of those welds. Sure this is a just decorative piece but surely it’s compromised if it was to be of any other purpose?

[@6061]

Hi Jason, It's not a simple answer... I'll make a video on it. It depends on the forces applied on the weld joint, the direction of the forces, will there be heat cycling and vibration (engine parts),etc... This is a planter for a friend. If it holds water, it's strong enough. Aesthetics are what mattered on this piece. Nice pretty, consistent, shiny welds. The welds penetrate about halfway through. Plenty strong for what it is. Less heat, less distortion. "compromised" is a poor word choice.

[@Samuel_el_toro]

Sweet ashtray man👍

[@RiceCrisp320]

Have you ever considered a thermal camera or something of the sorts? It'd be cool to see how hot a part gets doing one weld after another like this one🤷‍♂️

[@InformatrIIcks]

Aluminium would just reflects the IR of a thermal camera ... It would act as a weirdly shaped mirror for thermal camera. You will need a contact thermometer

[@WoLpH]

@@InformatrIIcks He could paint it black first and skip the paint where it will be welded.

[@Sicktrickintuner]

About 500 or so F if constantly welding

[@tonyo93]

Reminds me of the "Jupiter 2" from the "Lost in Space" TV series from when i was a kid. Danger! Danger! Will Robinson!! That UFO looking thing is cool!

[@Tech-rk8yh]

Your consistency is like clock work. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@GickelsGaming]

your video's are the reason i started welding. DIMES, BABY, DIMES. just about a year since i quit my golf club job for 2 weeks of classes and got hired full time in stainless fab/weld. what settings did you run for this video?

[@bennybfishn]

That's awesome.. Any chance of making one of you're tig button for a unimig welder in Australia? It's very impressive..

[@Seputarwelding]

the result is so beautiful.. 🙏

[@Jordan-9093]

ARRON…… where is your tig button! Another great video!!

[@mrfinder18]

Worked with a dude that was able to Tig a soda can back together. Never saw anything like it before.

[@FrenzyIncarnate]

skills are godlike.. fantastic work

[@echobravo5488]

“Pinky arc guard “!😂 I thought you were just being bougie!😆

[@hyper_active_snail]

I call it an international gentleman's welding rule - welding with a pinky up =)

[@BrianNichol]

Great lesson in patience! Thank you 🙏

When you tacked your fixture to what I thought was a steel table 🤯

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Beautiful welds.

[@JMJohannsen]

Awesome job! The seams look like done by a welding robot! 👍🏻

[@hutchdw77]

Oh, you know, Ron Covell stops by to compliment your welding and fabrication… 🤯 He’s correct.

Just curious, what's the flooring in your shop? Didn't look like concrete.

[@MBJeep]

TIP TOP Frank👌

[@mathieugillet]

It's it possible, with different techniques, to vary the size of the welds?

[@RADIOACTIVEMASCULINITY]

Nicely done!

[@onyeeginc]

Do you have the blueprint available? I’d like to make it out of stainless.

[@blech71]

LOOKS AMAZING!

[@YooProjects]

Spectacular job bro 🍻

[@ls2005019227]

First-?! Incredible work; you are a machine!

[@koolsolutionszx12r55]

I have nothing but respect. I can do that about one in five of those. The other four will have one bead too big or too small. I can't even buy new material that nice anywhere around here. All aluminum materials come brand new pre scratched and dinged. I wish you listed all the piramitures of the welder settings, wire used, tungsten used, etc after every video.

[@TastyPlacementSEO]

what the HECK? This is incredible, I don't know a thing about it.

[@SilentScreenSociety]

I need to learn how to weld like this

[@blackcoppermaran2524]

Sweet flower pot!

[@MasterofTongs]

Where can I get an angle finding tool like that at 2:18?

[@GenericAnimeBoy]

There are probably a bunch of mathematicians who are annoyed the kit isn't a platonic solid. The welds look incredible, though.

I'd like to learn to tig weld to make a BBQ (in aluminum to be lightweight) but I don't know if it is the best way to do it and if so where can I find something to learn, can you help?

[@TillURide420]

Why would we skip to see the final welding when we get to watch a master at work? Your mock up procedure is way more interesting

Not gonna say it’s impossible, but it’ll be pretty hard to get filled rod in there and get a uniform bead. Definitely a CHALLENGE
