Welder of 38 years here and the number of times I have had to remove a guard from a grinder to access something I could count on one hand. I always imagine a huge scrap mountain of grinder guards at the US border somewhere as it seems they somehow think it helps. Just watch sparks from grinder and welder too. They stick when hot right into glass like camera lenses very well. Outside the wind will blow them a long way to stick to a window.
I once went for a job interview along with other candidates. The location was in a barn conversion next to the business owner's house. He was having gates made and lots of grinding was going on. I couldn't quite concentrate on the interview and group sessions as I was distracted with the sparks flying outside blowing towards my car. When the interview was over I ran outside and you couldn't see out of my passenger front and rear passenger side windows. I didn't get the job but the business owner did pay the glass excess for my car!
Love the thought that went into this. Sometime when you need to do video and can’t think of what to show us, can you do walk thru of side entryway outside kitchen to workshop and out to back yard area?
Turned out really well. Looks fantastic. Couple of comments from my BBQ experience - I used that same bbq and stove black paint and it all came off when I had a fire in my Weber kettle. Was fine at bbq heat though. And I find bbq’s tend to rust. I’d maybe have used stainless steel for the rods at the top of the grill.
I think welding stainless might have been a bit much for my first welding project and the kit I had but would be a good option. The grill Itself is holding up ok at the moment with a couple of months of oil and grease on it! It has a lid over it too which helps. 👍
you use SketchUp really well to explain and plan a lot of your projects, it would be interesting to see a quick tutorial, a shorter video to put out between big projects. As always, big fan, thanks for the content!
You used a square piece of wood or a combination sqaure to check the frames were square, you could have used the magnets instead, that's what they are meant for ;)
Have to take my hat off to you Tim. For a FIRST TIME welding project that was brilliant. You have some guts my man!! Notice the beard's gone was that in case of FIRE???
Great little design .... especially as it was off the top of your head (All that scratching paid off then?) .... I thought those welds looked fine - better than Many :-)
What an interesting concept, perfectly solid. Would that mean no space between the atoms or even between the protons, elections and neutrons or even down from there.
I spent years going "at least no bigger British UA-camrs aren't so stupid to remove the guard from grinders whilst promoting how they make things" and then you start making contact with welding and grinding and promote dumbass practises. There's no advantage to not having a guard unless you're actively looking to fuck yourself up.
Nick Jones ok, i thought you meant while cutting or grinding. Yes it was off while finishing off with flap disk to do the flatter surfaces. It would of course be better to have on for all however not sure I would compare its severity to using a cutting disk or grinding wheel with no guard which would be particularly stupid. 👍
@@TheRestorationCouple you can rip through skin and ligaments without it, you can snap and break fingers if your glove catches. The fact its not as devastating as a slit disk does not make it anything close to safe to be promoting to an audience of DIY viewers. Grit disks are manufactured with the sand paper at a degree to be on flat WITH a guard on. I hate being the h&s brigade, I appreciate people can take their chances but I think its very stupid to promote bad practises with power tools that spin at above 10,000 rpm and not even make a point of telling people that you should not do it that way.
This was great to watch, I hope you continued to weld 👍
I love to see somebody join the wonderful world of welding. May you have much success and enjoyment with it!
Looks like you really enjoyed putting the new welding skills to the test making the various parts. Great job, great build!
Loving the stage make up grime on the face, very authentic 😂🤣
I thought woodworking was messy, I looked like I’d been mining most of that week! 😂

Great work, impressive first weld project

The Restoration Couple - sounds great. I don’t know anything about welding so I guess that was a bad suggestion

Patiently waiting on the next video
I'm loving these. This is going to be my next build.
‘A grinder and paint make me the welder I ain’t’
Living dangerously mixing welding and grilling two subjects UA-cam comments will savage 😆
😂
Tim where did you buy all the metal and fire bricks?
Love your hair 💕

You didn't use a square? Does it wobble?

Looking great Tim. Love the videos. What welder are you using? Is it gas or gasless
How do you know if those round rods, which I guess are the grill, are a food-safe alloy of whatever kind of steel it is you got?
They are just mild steel and seasoned before use.
Hi, which type of welding is this?
cool awesome video :)
Grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't :D
Keep it up, your welds don't look like pigeon poo, so you're doing OK :)
Ground it or earth it?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕
Lol you gas flow is way to low..
It sparks a bit to much..
first time welding really?

It was on all the time?
@@TheRestorationCouple clearly not
@@TheRestorationCouple intro footage, screen image for the video, 12:19 in.. no guard.
