I never knew how tech something like this could be! Know that they are people out here like me that do appreciate you making videos like this n i got mad respect for your work n talent!!! AWESOME video n work man!!!
Awesome video I have to fabricate all my work too and then weld it. Work with a lot of stainless pipe and a variety of things a lot of stainless and aluminum. I remember I thought I knew everything too coming from welding school but nope I knew nothing especially when it came to fabrication. And actually having a square part and tolerances. One big thing was distortion, everything warps or wants to it’s a learning thing. I’m no professional I have a lot more to learn. One thing I will say too is I learned a lot about welding and fabrication metallurgy and more from UA-cam videos like this podcasts and instagram if your really into welding there’s a lot of information online that will help your skills grow. Good video 👍
You forgot to mention the most important part, making sure the 3” SS pipe doesn’t warp with the heat. Definitely need a strong-back on it before welding and have it bowed a tiny bit opposite of the expected bow in the pipe for it to cool down and still look perfectly straight. Minimizing warping from branch welds on headers would be a cool video on its own.
Bends in any direction you want it, as much you need it, fitting heavy flanges, sometimes you need to cut a little into a weld seam, and re-weld it, which is going to pool it too, An interesting fact about SS is that it quenches harder every time you warm it till a certain point, and that would be the case when you have to reconsider to grind some of your filing materials away and re-weld it. And every time you stop, it will distort in that spot, so when you have to do 15 and more passes, it is almost impossible to finish it without distortion.
5:17 - "You don't need to be a math genius to be a fabricator, you just need a calculator". Or - you could use a sensible measuring system and do simple additions in your head! 😅 There were lots of handy tricks in this video but I was most amazed by you guys having special calculators for handling rational numbers...
I have one trick up my sleeve dont walk the cup just finger it and your welds will be fatser so less heat on the material to have it distorting to differnt sides
Awesome video. I really learned some good tricks. Could you make the one-inch pipe longer than needed and then cut it off to the correct length? Thanks.
y’all should really do more unique stuff that we have very much a lack of content on the internet. having a very hard time to find any videos or even information on r/welding about aluminum mig uphill, stainless mig uphill on basic joints. the only uphill mig alu is really that one double bevel butt, which, is quite unrealistic at that thickness and prep. maybe for a “one and done” cert test, but nothing real. we’ve already got a plethora of videos showing stainless tig, basic mig steel joints and the like. how many videos do we need on “beginner mistakes”?
What if you were doing rectangular stainless steel, so let say welding a crossbar between to uprights, all stainless....do you have to worry about movement and shrinkage the same?
Dude I kidd you not, when I heard the 7/8 I was like... Well yeah 27 x 1/16 = 7/8... Wait what?, i thought I miss heard him, checked it again, and yea he did said 7/8, I was like am I stupid or something? I still do not know how he got that 7/8 🤷🏽♂️
@@brianneftalicontrerassanti3091the last digits line up .875 ? It's 1.6875 vs .875. Maybe his calculator he was still reading that 16 as his 1/16? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt haha. Good info aside the math part

thanks man, means more than you know
Cool video man! You're a great educator
Hey.. thanks man! means alot
I loved it! I've wanted t
o build a noise/signal cannon for July 4th & new years celebrations. What a banger that would be! Thanks for your channel !

thanks for all that. yeah no one taught me this until it was in front of me lol
@ I think no matter what new job someone ends up going to too they’ll still have to learn things or that company’s way of doing things 👍
Good instructions for stainless steel. I'm more in to Aluminum thanks for the video!!
thank yah! I need to get better aluminum myself, youre welcome!

oh yeah.. maybe the next video i make a header!
Acetylene make miracle, with a little bit of compressed cool air 🙂

A good one! Thanks for sharing! Austin!! 👌👍
Good job doctor
I have one trick up my sleeve dont walk the cup just finger it and your welds will be fatser so less heat on the material to have it distorting to differnt sides
What do you mean by "finger it" 🤨
I thinks its awesome learning stuff n i learned n ton from this video! now that i think about it, i always learn something from this channel
love to hear it! thanks for watching!
Awesome video. I really learned some good tricks. Could you make the one-inch pipe longer than needed and then cut it off to the correct length? Thanks.
of course! at my first job however, they gave you all the parts pree cut, not always alot of room to play
Yep we do dry washing and water all the time
guilty!
Nice Dr. Austin 🤙🤙😎
thank yeee sir

Did the big pipe shrink on the side where the nozzle is welded in?
didnt measure any warping of the main piece.
What if you were doing rectangular stainless steel, so let say welding a crossbar between to uprights, all stainless....do you have to worry about movement and shrinkage the same?
It moves more in the 4 directions that all around but yes!
What maths make 27/16 = 7/8?
Yep, thought that sounded way off too. Should be 1 11/16.

yeah i lost myself... Circumference divided by 360 times degree lol
What filters are you using on that respirator?
idunno honestly whichever they came with
@AustinHargett OK was looking to buy some for my respirator. Thanks anyway
I tell my guys , you can always cut it off, but you can add it back on
story of my life
lincoln? stick and tig? high frequency? pulse?...for less than a thousand??!!!!
how....?!!!!!!!
I bought the miller 161 for $2000
no high frequency!
well with the tig pack its like $1200 but yeah.. they outdid themsleves with the sprinter
Can you recommend a import ac dc tig welder? Thank you
