Ive been welding for about 15 years now and it’s all been self taught. I wish I watched videos like this years ago. I actually did my capping in the order you showed here. I started in my teens with outside cap then tried the inside cap for a year or so then about 5 years ago I slapped my self when I figured out the semi outside cap. The only way to go for sure. Thank you sir.

Use a magnet to hold the piece so it doesn’t fall inside the tube then tack the four corners , remove magnet then weld. 👍

You could use a magnet clamp to hold the inside plate in place. It would automatically set the plate flush.
@amcustomfab8 ай бұрын
That is definitely an option for MIG welding. You cannot TIG weld very close to magnets though without causing porosity and interference.

When built a roof garden outer fence out of 50mm square welded caps on them made out of sections of tube cut them up so like L brackets then cut last bit of then welded along that side looked all one piece of tube. do in part for stopping water running down inside but also safety as falling over onto an open end of tube will open you up! Do remember that sealed tubes create/hold condensation! Good one is to plumb a tube up on an airline then spray inside with something like ACF50 so stops corrosion

You can just lay that inside cap on your welding table and put your tubing around it then use a clamp to tighten it in place squeezing the tubing.
@RichieRich8453 жыл бұрын
Yep that was helpful. What do you do if you have put a cap on both ends will that trap the air inside?
@amcustomfab3 жыл бұрын
You drill a small bleed hole to let hot air escape while you are welding the caps on and once the Caps cool you do a quick plug weld just seal your bleed hole.
@Particleman503 жыл бұрын
On method #2 why not just use a magnet that's large enough to hang over the sides of the tube then you can just have the cap sitting in place with the magnet.... then you know for sure its flush.
@kevinmorin79653 жыл бұрын
AM, using a bench mounted, belt sander to work the ends of pieces against improves the final product as much as your good welding techniques; lay the body of the tube to the belt- then rotate the piece around the weld face. This rounds the ends so the hand-held "random-ness" of the finish is diminished and the pieces will have uniform round-over sanding of the welds.
@amcustomfab3 жыл бұрын
Totally agree with that method and would absolutely do it if I had the pleasure of owning a belt sander.😉😎
