Good video...


Note that at the end he used magnetic clamps.... but I will tell you what you didn't see was that he didn't weld near them. He would have positioned the clamps so that he could make a quick tack... removed them and finished.


The other thing that's really evident in the video is the CLAMPING... this is not only done to hold the parts - but also to help to control warpage. When I've had friends build things - then come over to figure out "what happened" when their part was out of square or warped beyond use.... They never clamped anything. The other thing you'll find "newbs" do is that they don't tack... We here on Lat G are exposed to lots of tack welding... but many people aren't shown that part and just start welding 'er up. <<buzzer>>

One amp per thousandth - check. 30ish pulses per second - check.

I'll be fabbing a set of pipes like this in no time.

[GregWeld]

An amp per 1/1000 has been the rule for 10,000 years....



I hope your welding is better than on that set of pipes...



Does your TIG have pulse? I only use pulse when doing Aluminum.... but then again - we we're building cars not bikes and don't normally do super thin tubing...

When you start laying stacks like this.......


















I'll send you this (held by my son Alex - as this arrived yesterday)......'cause by that time this will be ready to drink! LOL

Guess that's why you forgot to tell me. Just like a calculating lawyer withholding fundamental information.

I'm better than that, that pinhead couldn't even put a hole in that tubing.

Yes, I have a pulsating tigger.

Regarding the bottle of grape juice..........

I'd better keep my mouth shut or he'll wind up with that bottle!!
