This was a great project for you guys and fun collaborations. Thanks so much Jim and Dale!!

[@justinlongoria9306]

Great job guys. Glad to see youtube shops working together and improving not only our knowledge, but our network.

[@bcbloc02]

Funny Dale said how easy it was to do, then let a professional do it. :-) lol I enjoyed seeing the channel colabration on this project though. Great job guys.

[@TheClarkie70]

[@tinkermouse-scottrussell3738]

Great team team work fellows. Thanks for shearing.

[@jamesappleyard8928]

Thanks for the tips on welding cast aluminium. I did some last week using a spool gun. After your explanation of the structure of cast, I understand why my first effort failed but after veeing it out and welding it again it work. ( for how long who knows). Enjoy your work.

[@craz71]

great video, nice to see all the shop youtubers collaborating.

[@Jdmlsturbo]

I just subbed, 3 seconds into this video, because the intro trailer showed me how serious you are, you’ve got my like👍, keep up the great work.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

YoungTimmy thanks for the love!

I actually saw this video on Abom's channel. Well done ! Very informative and very funny. I too was a Firefighter. I retired from the Chattanooga Fire Dept. in Dec. of 2013 with 28 years of service. I have set up a small shop including a Grizzly G1005 benchtop mill/drill, Horror Fright lathe that I converted to 14 " bed. I also have a blast cabinet, belt sanders and 5 tool boxes, all in a 10'X12' building. I spent most of working career working in fab shops so I can relate to just about everything that you talk about. I've done Mig, Stick, and Tig. I personally have a Linclon 225 AC tombstone welder and a Campbell Hausfield 70 stick welder (almost useless ). I've spent a lot of vacations in Orlando. I have family there. Hopefully, I'll be able to visit some day and we can trade Fire Dept. t shirts. Keep up the good work, and stay safe. Mike

My die grinders use to sound as loud as yours, until I stuffed the exhaust port with some pieces of scotch bright pad. I don't really notice much difference in power but they are a bunch more quite. I have done the same thing to the IR air drills I have, some of them had a plastic cover over the exhaust port and I added an extra screw to support the plastic. Nice video, thanks for sharing.

[@travisshrewsbury7169]

great collaboration man,love to see you guys working together, really love all the Lincoln products,best there is

[@MalJ-eb7nv]

Great work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge - I now understand a bit more regarding welding alloys,

[@heres2ya]

i like the open solvent wash take behind you...

[@andrewwilson8317]

That was some slick video work guys. Subs to both of you.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Nice job on the repair and working together.

[@razorworks9942]

Hey Jim,Nice job on the repair for Dale. I have spoken to you a while ago, and look forward to seeing you at the Bash!Razor!

[@DoRiteFabrication]

Looking forward to it. See you then!

[@lazaglider]

Hey Jim, Found your channel via the Abom colab. Looking forward to trawling through your back catalogue! Jon

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+lazaglider Welcome, hope you enjoy. We have lots of new stuff planned.....

[@lazaglider]

+DoRite Fabrication Well I just binged through the windmill series in one sitting, think I'll be sticking around. Thanks

[@kevinhornbuckle]

Just what I was looking for. New sub.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Kevin Hornbuckle welcome!

[@marceltimmers1290]

Hi mate. Nice work. I had hoped that your episode was a little different than the one that I had seen at Abom's one. Other than that, some nice work there.

[@kingmans6788]

possible to weld cast aluminum with spool gun?

[@DoRiteFabrication]

Possible but not very practical.

[@jjgag601]

nice video Jim. Which one of your Tig machines did you use on this project. Keep the video's coming.

Hi Jim, I just watched Adam's SNS this Afternoon with you and Dale and this repair.You guys are AWESOME. >Joe Morris

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Joe Morris Thanks for the kind words.

[@phillipchambers8487]

That Video made me a Subscriber for Life! Awesome Teaching on at best a "pain in the a*#" Welding Project for most Welders. I've never attempted Cast Aluminum, but after watching your Tutorial, I now feel confident enough to try it. Question for you Jim. What are the Dimensions of your Weld Table that you were working off of in the Video??? Width, Length, & thickness of the Top Plate. Thanks in advance

[@DoRiteFabrication]

11' x 4' x 1/2" from memory. Thanks for the sub.

[@phillipchambers8487]

@@DoRiteFabrication thanks for the quick reply Jim. Getting ready to build myself a new "Big" Weld Table, and yours looks like the perfect size for me.

[@1970chevelle396]

You mean Adam wasn't in the video.

[@robertgrant008]

Great job Dude what's the best welding machine for Arc welding?

[@dennyskerb4992]

Hey Jim, nice video. Great editing. But it's a KZbin version of a rerun.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

+Dennis Skerb LOL actually Adams version is the rerun. it's mine and Dales video. lol hope you enjoyed it we all had fun working on it together.

[@jstodd903]

Hey. I would love to get into welding, but don't know anything about it. What type of welding was this? Particularly when you were tacking the (steel?) for the jig. Also, what kind of welder? Make/model? How much would it cost for a similar set up in my home shop? Thanks a million!

[@normcard740]

Why not just make a steel part?

[@paulbernett1581]

Try Boe Lub on you rotary file instead of Kara-cine You'll Love it. Trust ME.

[@Socialistgypsy]

Should have tacked the two pieces together first then make a deep groove.

[@GordysGoodworks]

If you haven't tried 4943 rod for cast aluminum you don't know what you're missing, it's like cheating.

[@DoRiteFabrication]

I like cheating......lol

[@GordysGoodworks]

Most of what I do is casting repair. It is much easier to weld with (wets like you wouldn't believe) and deals with junk in the parent metal infinitely better than 4043.

[@kevinbecker4719]

Geeezus dude, all that intro??? God man, just say and show the part you need done and get it done!!! What a waste of time.
