Heck Yeah! Thanks for this video. I'm probably going to need to make one of these now...

I built one pretty much exactly like this a couple years ago. Eventually I had to add a small strap connecting the top of the two vertical pieces, as over time they started spreading away from one another. Still works great though, would never be without one again!

9:22 "After completing my FLAWLESS Nuclear Plant quality welds ..." (which actually resemble pigeon poop) 🤣🤗 And the Academy Award for non-chalant self-effacing sarcasm goes to Mr. Sorrel. 👍 We'll conveniently ignore the slight counter clockwise twist in the interface between the Hardy post and the base plate (see 9:44) - still 10x better fit n finish then any other homemade rig i've seen vids of. 😋🤗👍

Love my guillotine tool and couldn't imagine working without one. It's no substitute for learning good hammer control, but it sure does keep set downs clean. Fullering dies, flat dies and butchering dies are must-haves that will do damn near anything you want. I'd like to make a set of tenoning dies just for good measure.

Very cool Walter; could this be adapted to punch small holes in thinner material? Thank you for another great video, and for the awesome example of welding! 😉

Thanks for another great 'how-to' video, Mr. Sorrells. Wondering why you used TiG for part and MiG for the rest? Do you prefer Flux Core Wire for some reason? (Better in the wind is the only thing I can think of offhand....) Thanks, Again, Sir! Bill

One suggestion, if you bevel the tang on all 4 sides 45°by about 3/8 to 1/4 inch for a 1 inch tang. Then weld the tang to the plate you will have more weld holding the tang to the plate and it will be easier to clean up the the welder and no pocket.

Walt I’ve run into similar weld Clarence issues before and identified two options 1 drill a hole through the plate 1/4 smaller than the square bare and weld from the top or 2 chamfer heavily the square bar on the side to be welded on the plate like a 1/4” to 3/8 chamfer per side. Then the weld will fill out but not exceed the bar size
@SeraphX24 жыл бұрын
heh. i thought of both of these options but favored number 2. glad to know even though i dont do this kind of work, i have the problem solving skills if i wanted to. lol

Not for nothing but it kinda looks like your tip on your gun is sticking out way too far. You’re nozzle should be trapping the gas. With your setup you have no gas making it to the tip, hence chicken droppings.
@garybower18244 жыл бұрын
It could be flux core wire nd thus no gas is used.
@michaelg13524 жыл бұрын
gary bower I agree, but his gun looks too big. You usually only go gasless with little 110s. Looking at the size of Walter’s gun, you can tell he has a 220 welder.
