This guy pays more attention to detail and meticulously prepares and welds everything where most “professionals” can watch his video and learn something from him !!! This is pretty close to done right … maybe even done too good if there is such a thing on a truck frame.
As I found out from my former employer, there IS such a thing as too good. They wanted half assed, and I don't do half assed. J.C. is to be admired on his attention to detail! Thanks to you Peter, for helping him (and us) with that!
I feel like I should have received about 2 credit hours for attending a workshop at JC Smith University of welding and fabrication. On a project there is a new learning moment around every corner. Thanks for taking us along! Tom
👍👌👏 Definitely my favourite one of all the "I'm not a welder" saying guys. Out of my experience I meanwhile have to say, that especially the ones who mention that they're not welders, are exceptionally well welders.
I don’t think that frame would be any straighter even if it was made from the factory! Well done J.C. All those precautions to not warp anything will pay off big time when it comes to assembly.
A couple things to note about the gas shielded flux core wire that you’re running JC. In the AWS designation number E-71, as you stated, E is for electrode. 7 signifies that it has to meet a “minimum” 70,000 psi tensile strength (many times wires in this classification, especially when using 75/25 shielding gas, will test in excess of 90,000 psi). The 1 signifies that it is an all position electrode. If it were only for flat and horizontal, it would be a 0 instead of a 1. Hope this helps. Your welds are looking great!
Correct, and the T1 M stands for mix gas (75/25) i case of this wire to be precise … And you are right, even though its a nominal 70ooo psi tensile strength, this particular wire that is made in Kentucky can be used with either 100%co2 or 75/25 and the typical tensile strength as welded with co2 is 91ooo and with 75/25 is 96ooo psi if i recall correctly. Maybe i should have read the book before i commented😂 Well, i am reasonably sure that these numbers are good.
@@ZILAwelds Thank you for the input. Could you explain what’s meant by “nominal” tensile strength. I thought it was the minimum tensile strength that AWS requires the manufacturer has to meet. I’m always trying to learn as I go. Thanks.
The frame isn’t weaker in the heat affected zone, but it is more brittle. This is why cracks usually occur next to a weld. You can minimize the brittleness but post heating and allowing the heat effected zone to cool as slow as possible. You could wrap the area with high temp insulation.
I try so hard to be safe. I remember spending a weekend on a big project and Sunday evening I got home for a shower and pulled my shirt over my head and got a chunk of rust in my eye and ended up at the ER

The fact that someone can come on your channel and talk smack on you is just amazing. Obviously they haven’t seen your quality builds.
Taking shape and looking awesome J.C! 😎👍 I'm really enjoying this build 🔧
Definitely coming along nicely. It’s awesome to watch the time and detail you put into making each build right. I learn something every time I watch!

JC at this point you might as well get your welding certification since you have more experience than a 20 year pro welder….👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
J.C your a great welder now. Your common sense man that speaks the truth. Your a very passionate caring person. Don't let the world change you.
Hi JC thank you for sharing 🤗
Hi My Dear Friend Very Very Great Job Sir ❤❤❤❤❤
I like seeing projects taken to the next level. I just havent seen you cut any corners. Like watching successful projects.
Frame rails looking awesome thank you for sharing.
Great work J.C.Smith
I love how fast your wife pulls truck fram apart JC you need to lift your game.😂
Fireball tools on UA-cam makes some great squares etc! They're the best on the market and not too expensive
Impressive work.
That's what you always need to do is read or ask to make sure you get the best results

Like the warning sign. Frame came out good. Have a great evening JC and Mrs Smith
Nice hammer throwing at the end 😂

thanks JC
im gunna go out the the garage now and do some welding on the ramps for my trailer. make them a bit stronger. great inspiration!
got it done! finished welding up the ramps and got a couple of coats of paint on it. finally get that checked off my list!
Very nice work .
Hi J. C & Mrs. Smith & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks J.C & Mrs Smith & Friends Randy
Love the sign 😂
We will pop this frame apart (kicks it and falls apart)😂😂😂 (throws hammer at pieces and falls off)🎉🎉🎉
Don't worry, I got metal in the eye before it doesn't matter what eye protection u got on... it find a way to get u at the end
Wear your safety glasses with side shields. You got your face a foot away from that hammering impact.😢
Woohoo!
Sure was an awful nice video
The music junked another video 👎👎👎💩💩💩😬
its a shame that this world is so overly sensitive to thing that are so unimportant.
