Weld The World Building a T top for a boat.

Let's do this. A sneak peek of the ground up build out of a main hoop for a marine T-Top.
In this short video, we show a high paced view custom building of the Main Hoop for a Marine T-Top. NOTE: This is just the Main Hoop, just the Top of the T-Top. Enjoy!!

[@ericbarron2066]

Excellent work. Could you tell us your welder settings? And what CLR die did you use on the bends?

[@bigboatben]

Thank you for your videos. Could you please tell me what vendors you are using? looks like a JD2?

[@carrgrienier7726]

What are your settings on your tig as far as amps and all. I see that your using a trigger switch on torch? Looks like you have a pulse setting on it?

The benefits of regular breaks has been proven. You will get more and better work done in the long run.

I built that rod holder fixture, I can’t get it dialed in lol, I did a few they were just off on the up and down , do you draw a line across where you want them to go? Idk if you have this problem but sharpie right next a tack on anodized Aluminium will always be there, no matter how much acetone is on a rag

[@metalworks7882]

I built a jig to hold each one in place at the same height. As for marking it we use sharpie. But have not had a problem getting it to come back off with a cleaner/acetone

What is the materials cost to build a t top?

[@tunedbyhms]

What tungsten do you use? Pure? 1/8 ? Thanks.. great work!!

[@metalworks7882]

Hey there, There are several types you can use with aluminum. I prefer using 1/8" 1.5% Lanthanated tungsten ( Gold) . It's a very universal tungsten and stable on AC welding.

[@tunedbyhms]

Metal Works with anodized aluminum? Thanks...

[@metalworks7882]

Yes

[@BruceLee-xp5fc]

[@metalworks7882]
