Welded Structures Are Better

[@stuffandjunkandthings364]

I foresee a line of reservoir caps: "Not brake fluid"-oil "Also Not Brake Fluid"-radiator cap "Sill Not Brake Fluid"-power steering reservoir "Brake fluid doesn't go here"- windshield washer fluid "Not For Brake Fluid"- supercharger heat exchanger tank ""That Leaves This one" brake reservoir. And for bonus points, tou can anodize them all the "wrong" colors, just to make sure the kid at JiffyLube has a coronary, stroke, or other medical emergency of your choosing.

So happy when that bell rings!! A friend taught me a trick for checking for weld porosities. Just add some red food coloring to a container of alcohol and pour a small amount into the container and slosh it around all the welds. The red will bleed through any bad welds and show you just where your FU! is! NDT in a bottle!!!

Loved the BOM shirt after the dig on them! BTW, make sure your aluminium is 110% dry of your test water before welding up the newly found holes, or you can experience hydrogen embrittlement. Nobody likes cracks. Except wise ones.

[@John-rw9bv]

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger - unless its hydrogen enbrittlement which just makes you weaker.

When I build my house, it's going to have a swimming pool. I want it for daily use so I don't have to mix with the plebes at the public pool, or the whales in the sea (who mog me by being better at swimming, the bastards), so it's gotta have a good length to it, but it'd also be nice if there was room to chill out with friends and engage in water-based buffoonery, which more lends itself to a circular or at least not long and thin shape. I figured I could combine the two and have a play area and a length area, and because it's _my_ house, I can attach the two such that they look like a cock 'n' balls. Glad to see you're doing similar. Mine's bigger.

[@kaplumbagaterbiyecisi6411]

That's some quality content. I like the humorous way of your story telling.

[@benni5941]

I really like the concept, but the only welding I know how to do involves the letters J and B. That seems like it fits in with the 80% good in 20% time mantra, and I've seen engine blocks repaired with JB weld that are probably still running today, probably.

[@jonathangehman4005]

I'd like to show you several that aren't

[@craigwiess1656]

Several 69-78 Honda CB750 are running around after the drive chain broke and knocked a hole on the case. Usually patched with a piece of beer can and JB weld.

[@jonathangehman4005]

@@craigwiess1656 DUDE! I absolutely believe you.I've used it myself for repairs on various things on intake manifolds and carbs and even for closing up a hole in a cylinder head where I got unlucky porting a Slant Six. But I've also seen where it has fallen short of peoples hopes, lol. I'm thinking specifically of the 454 my buddy tried to JB back together after he drove his Chevelle into a culvert and popped the drivers side motormount off along with a chunk of the block. Or the 350 that came into the shop that someone tried to JB a stud to hold the distributor down with after pulling all the threads out of the bolt hole, or the 305 the owner tried to JB the rocker studs into. Maybe it's just Chevy guys. That 454 Chevelle did eventually get "fixed" by welding the chunk back in and adding a chain between a waterpump bolt and the frame to reduce the strain on the mount. Although if we'd ever figured out how to make that car hookup it would have likely failed as spectacularly as most of the other dumb stuff we used to do

[@TheOystei]

If you'd like to design stuff like this then you do the cad bit shown in the vid, get it lazercut as shown and go to the local welder and say "i brought you a puzzle"

[@CapnFlappyJaw42]

a guy i work with had a small crack in his block on his Civic, and tried to actually weld it but made it worse, and then just said fuck it and used some JB weld and it's been going strong 7 months later.

[@TestPilotWally]

I swear, watching this was like watching me make my wiper fluid tank recently- I had all the same welds and leaks! This video was the perfect depth for someone who kinda-sorta understands Fusion 360. Keep up the great dry-humor-filled videos! You're officially my favorite channel now.

[@theherrdark4834]

A high tech method I learned used a high tech material called foam core and tape, make a mockup. Then cut it apart and use as a template to mark out the material ad cut off what you dont need and weld. For a round one go to a pizza place/restarant and take a look at the cans they have. There is also the alternative to welding is automotive structural adhesive that holds together even in a crash. Modern automotive body structure construction consists of joining aluminum sheet to steel sheet and still hold up in a crash. Someone told me years ago the US Army has an M1 Abrams tank with an adjustable wrench glued to the bottom of it from military structural adhesive.
