- #JimbosGarage #Welding #MetalFabrication I had a friend ask me to make him a custom trash can for his house boat. This was a great aluminum welding project! I don't work with aluminum a lot so this was a nice change of pace.

I work in a mainly aluminum fab shop in the cutting and drilling side of things. When cutting aluminum add wax to the blade, otherwise the chips will end up sticking to themselves and ruin a good blade. We get about a year's worth of production cutting out of a 24" chop saw blade, as long as we keep it waxed up.
We then use the same wax for drilling, take a piece of the wax and add it to the bit, like you did with the bees wax on the flap disk. For the most part the only other lubricant we really use for Aluminum is WD-40. It doesn't work for most other metals, but it does wonderful on Aluminum.
For finishing we use a hand wire brush and some maroon scotch bright. For the best finish when grinding we've found that if you leave a little of the weld raised up then finish with a 2 inch scotch bright wheel on a 90 degree die grinder. A large grinder you will easily start to dig into the base metal and leave divots. We use the same 2 inch wheel to deburr the cut edges.
Jimbo, my daughter watched your video with me before dinner, and commented that the trash can needed wheels. Knowing that this goes on a house boat, I know this is not necessary. Just want you to know you have a new fan, and she loves your Viking mustache.
Excellent piece of Craftsmanship 👌
That’s one bad ass trash can. I’ve always said, the best kind of kill is overkill! ✌🏻🇺🇸
Well he’s got a bad ass trash can now. 1/4” he can use and abuse it. Love the videos Jimbo
It turned out really nice and in white very clean looking too, great job Jimbo ! ! ! ! !
Great job as usual, one of my favorite channels. My experience with wire feed speed is the same as yours. Slowing it down and letting some heat get into the part really seems to help. You might try a stainless brush in a grinder before welding, cup, tied wheel, doesn't matter. Just run the wire right down the area to be welded. It cuts that oxide layer off the surface and just makes the whole process work better. Welds light off easier, better penetration, the whole bit.
Jimbo reminds me of every scoutmaster I've ever had. 😁
Well done! Looks great!
Excellent video Jimbo, my respect from Venezuela💯👍👊🤘
Jimbo very creative project. It turned over very nice. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Weld On God Bless.
Looks great Jimbo... thanks for sharing the info on the products that you use. Very helpful.
I see that your starting to get the hang with that Little Finger Toggle Clamp, cool video:) Thanks
You would be amazed how much more convenient a 15' lead would be.
See you next time Jimbo's Garage!
Whatever the customer wants but that thing could be buffed out clean, nice job.
Beautiful!!
Saludos amigo Jimbo, desde Mexico, un abrazo. Disculpa no sé hablar inglés pero me gustan mucho tus trabajos y quiero dejar de saludarte. Saludos.
Man you make a job more difficult welding vertical, as gravity plays it's part massively, on it's side those welds would be perfection and damn right easy for you. great job either way.
Hi Jimbo. I love your channel. With respect, I cut sheets of aluminum on a regular basis. It's better to use a track saw, a non-ferrous blade, noise cancelling earbuds and a vacuum. I have videos on my channel that show this.
Some circular saws allow for a vacuum attachment. May not stop ALL the chips but should stop most of the mess.
Very good vidéo 👍

As always nice job Jimbo!
Not the first time I hear about using soap or bee's wax... I'll steal some from my candles' making wife ;)
How come you welded it vertical up when you could have just turned it flat?
It's good to go out of position once in a while. You never know when you'll find yourself with no other choice.
I’m about to get into AL welding in the spring. Thanks for the bees wax tip. I will try it out
Whats the tip?
Come up nice Jimbo, Im looking at the design and thinking a sunken(no pun intended!) depression around the handle so the top of the handle is flush with the lid top surface would make that bin a little more practical in a small space like a house boat.
I have one suggestion! i absolutely love your channel and so look forward to every project, The only thing i wish you would do is show a little more real time welding mixed with the fast forwarding
Happy New Year Jimbo! Nice work as usual. I am thinking of doing an aluminum battery box for our RV this year. Some good tips in this video!
Nice job
My Brother name is Arif, Hi Bro.
Thanks Jimbo Great job as usual
Very nice work Jimbo.. Glad I found your channel.. God Bless..
You da man! Inspired me to start my fab shop.
Metho is the best lube for drilling and cutting with a saw with aluminium .
Jimbo thanks for the pro tip.
nice job jimbo,quality...........all the best.....stay safe..............dougie
Thanks for all your videos. I want to build a 10’ steel gate, but no fixtures table. Any ideas as all I have is my garage cement floor. I just don’t want to end up with a twisted or racked gate.
Jimbo, use a stainless steel brush for improves the qality and comfort of welding, always brushing in one direction. Improves a MIG welding a lot.
That's one heavy duty trash can...
Jimbo what SoCal lake has houseboats? Nice job btw
Use turpentine to lubricate the drill when drilling true aluminium, with this as a lubricant the drill won’t gum up
I have the Makita 18v LXT metal circular saw and my plasma cutter isn't happy. The makita catches most of the metal chips too.
Jimbo---great channel--need advice. i'm making a carport out of .25 6x6 posts/ 0.125 2x6 for laterals and rafters/ 0.125 1.5x4 channel for truss verticals.......i can use 6010/7018stick or T-11flux core--what would you use?
Try a ceramic flap discs on aluminium and you will never use another type. You don't even need to use wax.
awsm bro u are tooo good in ur skils
hey jimbo, how come everyone claims you cant weld through a long lead like mig because the material is too soft and to use a spool gun? i dont see you having any issues, have you ever had feed issues running aluminum like this?
Would also be interested in his thoughts on this. I've been planning to buy a spool gun for the same reason, but I don't have a long lead at all, so...maybe it's not necessary?
@@jadcb159 the lead can be longer or shorter. The wire still only runs thru the spool gun liner-which is very short.
nice!
Hello, Jimbo, I want to meet you. I'm traveling from Colombia. I'm in San Ramón, California
very good man!)
What strategy do you use for uphill?
that welder really good .
Are you using a normal whip?
Fancy fence gate (request video)
if you had a large brake, you could have eliminated a lot of welding and grinding on that project. looks nice though!
I didnt notice, if you mentioned it, what grade aluminum spool wire did you use/prefer? 4k/5k?
Vertical down weld would have been atleast twice as fast
👍
you always mention the chips from the metal saw, they do come with a vacuum attachment why dont you use it?
Or use mask Man. Al (aluminum) chips "dust" is dangerus.
Hola jimbo quiero conocerte
excellent niceone
WD-40 works well with aluminum
Does anybody know where to buy Mercer discs??? In Los Angeles!! Or online
I always heard you could not weld aluminum with a MIG, and would need a spool gun. I have a Hobart MVP 210. The spool gun is awful. Is there a torch etc. that would let my welder aluminum weld with my MIG like you did in the video? Also seems like 4043 would be too soft to go through a MIG...
You can do it. Just need a short lead (he was using a 8ft one) and try to keep it as straight as possible since the aluminum wire is like a spaghetti noddle. Also helps to push not pull the weld.
Hey Jimbo being left handed isn’t it a pain using a circular power saw.
👍👍
Needs some little rubber pads or something for feet
👏👍
Aluminum is not like steel. You didn't bevel. Aluminum is real Brittle. Good luck with it not cracking. Aluminum takes a lot more prep. It's always good to do an outside corner joint.
👍👍👍👍
Was excited to see a new video then watched and saw it is just a box...
First boss
I always want to learn from you. From country op pacman Pacquiao..Philippines
do you want any hands?
Heres your trash can.... that will be $900.
Now how the fuck do you powder coat aluminum I wonder
DAMN JIM
WEAR A FKN RESPIRATOR WHEN U GRIND ALUMINUM
[Toxic effect of dust and fumes of aluminium and its compounds on workers' respiratory tract]
I can't stress that enough. You should protect your lungs welding ANY metal.
too much for nothin
