Many years ago I was reading a fabrication "how to" book and they would cut the sanding disks edges with triangle shaped cuts very similar to this to soften the edges and get nicer sanding. It's great that these techniques haven't been lost, but shared on UA-cam so everyone can benefit. I had completely forgotten about this technique. 🙂
I have been cutting down discs for years. Saves $ cut a 7 inch disc down until there is no grit on it. Started cutting a hex shape, then a square, then back to a hex.
First time I saw you do the square disc trick I tried it on one of my sculptures...game changer! Wish I could go back and use this technique on my hot rod! Another engaging and informative production! Question, when you're using the sander (DA) do you keep it on orbital (wonky) mode or straight spin? Josh in the kitchen, Drink! Go Bennetts Customs, keep moving forward!
Looking forward to the next installment on the Flyer and the square roloc's do work well and you get a bit more value by re using them 2-3 times. Cheers Greg
I'll be 'that guy'! 😂 That's not strictly speaking a weld as the parent metals aren't fused with the filler. It's a braze. Nothing wrong with it though in the right circumstances.
Have you ever just used a fillet grinder flap disk? They make both a specific tool for it and flap dosk for your grinder designed to grind into corners to smooth fillet welds.
The square cut disc's do work great. Good video. Question; at 13:14 in this video in the background is what looks to be a very large wheel of nylon or other plastic, what is that for? I'm always looking for other tools to make for my home shop, thanks
Yes it does the same job as a flux would do. A tig welder and silicon bronze rod works with no flux. The gas keeps the oxidation away, the arc melts it to make it flow.
Hi Jordan I noticed you use a die grinder, your sanding disc would last a lot longer if you change to a roll lock sander like the trade tools 3” sander less than 100 bucks

Yes I’ve used that one several times too! Works really well!
Nije loša tehnika za one koji nemaju pojma o brušenju.
I really appreciate the time and effort it takes to make these video's, for our benefit🤩
Glad you like them!
I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos! 👍👍

Great tip on using the needle scaler to change the look of the finished pieces
Thanks for watching!
A 20mm belt sander with cubitron belts - the dogs danglies. Thanks for the "cut it square" tip - I'm gonna try it.

Mines only a straight style one. If I had the options I’d use straight for sure.
Very useful, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Thanks Don! Right back at you!
You are very intelligent and very creative brother, I will use your tips in my creations, I am Brazilian.
Great to hear! That’s all we want for everyone to get creative!
Another great video, thanks.

Exactly right!
I run 3" on 2" backer.
Will have to try this square thing.
Thank you.
This is a good one
So helpful, thank you!
Thank you

Yes they work well. Also very expensive!
Great Tips. Thanks.

Good spot! The a huge piece of poly. Use it a lot with shaping and Planishing. Need to make a table for it still.
Hi Jordan. When welding with bronze. Does the gas in the tig cup act as a flux? I hope my question isn’t too stupid!
Great question- it’s not similar to you normal brazing rod you’d use with oxy/acc welding, the cup allows the gas to sit and cover.

I’ve tried. Just feel they never have enough guts in them.
You need "Curved Flap Discs" for the inside corners.
They do work well too!
Love the tip have you ever tried 5or6 sided discs 🤔🍻
Have! You get a similar result too. Sometimes a hexagon then 4 sides to get more life from the disc
Keeps the used sanding discs in an ice cream container … sounds like an excuse to buy ice cream. You’re an enabler!
Hahahah
Wray cuts them into a hexagon
Try cutting it into a hex, you will have 6 points instead of 4
You should do a collaboration with the UA-cam channel sleeperdude 88. He has a 1927 model t he is working on.
