  • On this episode of Make It Kustom, Kristina and I collaborate on a custom tattoo arm rest stand for our good friend Rustie who just opened up her own private studio called Kintsugi Tattoo. I did all the metal fabrication, including cutting out the base on my CNC plasma cutter. I had a fun time figuring out this ball joint 360 degree pivot feature! My wife killed it on the Mexican blanket/metal flake upholstery!!

    • @twestgard2
      @twestgard2 2 роки тому

      It’s technically not welding, it’s brazing, and the terminology matters because it’s how you can look up more information about it.
      Welding gives a higher strength rating when it’s done correctly, but brazing is still extremely strong, sufficient for most people’s needs when connecting two pieces of metal, and when you don’t have a TIG welder and/or are trying to bond dissimilar metals, brazing is an awesome option to have in your arsenal.

    My Guy, A trick I've used to drill stainless is to put a drop of Elmer's glue on the surface. It helps the bit "bite" I guess and get it started. I bought a commercial sink and shelf for my shop and needed to drill a few holes in it to mount it to the wall. It worked well on stainless sheet metal. Not sure what would happen with a thick ball like that.

    Your wife did great after she got going. You just have to dive right in! I didn’t understand what the white paper was that went over the clear plastic before sewing. It finally dawned on me that it was probably to make the pressure foot of the sewing machine slide easy. And keep from making marks on the clear plastic? Gave me some ideas to build a better seat for my Honda Shadow 750.
