After all these years.....a voice. Kudos from the past Aaron
I know right ,I’m like holy cow did he just speak. So he is a human not an AI! man if I could only weld like that
@@mattschmidt4001now artificial intelligence can generate a voice, so perhaps it is just ai)
man, i thought the same thing and is the only reason I came to comment 😅
He’s been talking for several vijeos now 🎉
I agree. Never heard a word until now 😂
I say talk. I have been watching you for years and it was refreshing to hear you explain some of your actions. Great information
Wow that was strange, i wasn’t expecting to here your voice at all.
We finally know the voice of the ultimate aluminium welding boss
I did your online training years ago and still go back to it from time to time. Its well worth the money. I recommend it to anyone looking to get better and welding aluminum. Thanks Nick
Thank you for the feedback Nick
I concur with Nick. Not only the welding but the amount of info on what tools he uses is great and probably took a while to make so you don’t have to search and guess.
Agreed! The 6061 website class was the first thing I went to after some time off. Thanks, Aaron!
Even after tig welding for 30 years, I took the course! Worth the money, new perspectives & techniques! Newbs take 6061’s course, easier to establish proper techniques, than fix bad habits!
This is the first time I have ever heard you speak; it was very pleasant. I thought perhaps you had lost your voice in a terrible welding incident 🙂
The alignment using the slant technique was a good tip to learn, thank you. I was going to suggest a guide for the forstner shaft, but then the next scene you commented on it.
I thought you were going to weld that jig to the wood, but I guess you don't want to give up all of your secrets.
Loves these videos your work is off the hook, I have been a structural welding for 20 year and self taught my self to weld aluminum tig and still have much to learn and these videos really help me strive to be so much better
Definitely the best start stops of any welder I have ever seen!
Looks like being awake in England at 3.40am gets me the 1st to watch this awesome vid.ThankQ.TkEZ>Uk
Finally a voice. I am still laughing about putting the bicycle around the lamp post😂
Definitely learned some new tricks. My favorite was how you aligned the angled part using thin sheet
6:54 all the nerves from finally talking on video 😆 liking the change, much more helpful
The man behind the TIG torch speaks!
Voice of 6061 has been received great videos
i learned how to Tig with a thumb trigger. there is something about Tig welding that gives me a euphoria effect. i can lay dimes all day and be content. nice video bro.
After 10+yrs I hear your voice for first time
Thanks for the narration. It helps.
Years!!! I smiled like my deaf friend just spoke to me lol
Talk or no talk? Comment below.

Thanks for watching everyone
Makes for a more enjoyable video. Some of us are weird and just watch these as entertainment. I've never even touched a tig welder, let alone fabricated anything out of aluminum.
You’re doing a great job! It seems you can convey more of the thought process that goes into fabrication by talking instead of editing in text after you’ve completed each step. You might forget the little things by the time you commence editing the video. Either way your videos are excellent.
I like your commentary, adds heaps to the work description. You'll get used to your own voice someday 😂
talk
talk, some really useful tips / understanding - thank you
beeeeeen waiting for hear your voice !!!! Ok I can die then. Always loving your AC welding mannn
That was a very, very informative video. Thank you. I liked that you actually talked and explained what you were doing. Very nice tip on getting the angle on the plate, thank you again. Keep up these type of informative videos please.
Tig button and website worth every penny. Was really easy to set up and became muscle memory quickly. Life altering performance. If anyone has ever been upside down with your feet hanging out of a machine, no place for a foot peddle suspended and your elbow cant work the peddle and not bury the tip in the puddle. Its been over 2 years and the tig button still works flawlessly. The tig button is very responsive to pressure, it adjusts the amperage depending on how hard you push down. You dont have to push the button hard at all, very little pressure is needed, very comfortable and no fatigue, its very easy to operate. Many thanks for an outstanding device and always sharing the helpful information over the years.
Just bought a tig button myself - haven't used it yet, though. I'm nervous - I've used other hand-control thingies before and absolutely could not get used to them.
Yeah I've had mine for a few years and I love it. It can be fatiguing with long hours and suboptimal finger placement for activating it, so thinking about how you're going to sustain pressing it is something good to do. I still haven't found the perfect grip, but I use it all the time and it's really phenomenal.
Yup, I’m about 3 years into the tig button, between the magic button, Aaron’s website, and practice of course, I have made some impressive (by my standards lol) gains in my Al Loom In E Um welding. Another huge bonus of the super button is of course how it lets you know when you have an inadequate ground😳
I like to hear the voice, love the website also, great information for sure. Thank you.
I like that 6061 logo you showed.
Talking - fine. Nice touch. Music? Outta here... 🙂
Thank you. You have contributed immensely (along with other UA-cam contributors of course), to help aspiring aluminium TIG welders everywhere to better their craft. Finding your voice has just enhanced interest to watch your videos. I'm stumped as to why you chose the silent route all this time. Anyway, great decision! Your welding skills are amazing!
I love the videos man I’ve learned so much and made my life easier so many times referencing stuff I’ve caught watching you! Thanks man
He speaks! 😂😂😂Great videos!
You were right, I did not know those tricks.... I'll try to remember them all. Love the conduit idea for handrails deck stairs
Clever way to drill angles. I do auto-body work….pretty much only MIG welding is required at times, not often. Been at it 33yrs. Can’t believe how nice you weld. Maybe one day when I grow up I’ll be able to weld as well as you do😄 You do an awesome job bro👍
You’re a genius on aligning the pipe..! I was wondering about the low freq too. Thanks
we finally get a voice with the video. YAAAAAHHH
I bought one of your 4150 flange intake elbows years back. It looks awesome under the hood. I get asked about it often.
Ohh so you can talk too, lol been following you for a while now, first time i herd you talk. Cool project as always and YES keep talking heh
It's good to hear you explaining more stuff on the videos 🙂
Quick Tip :- Should chuck the drill on a high clutch setting so it free spins if it grabs :-)
Did you ever do (or plan to do) a video explaining how you got to the proficiency level you are at now? You had a shop before, was it a family business? Do you come from a family of fabricators? Not trying to pry, but it would help people understand the amount of commitment and experience (time) it takes to get to where you are now.
Nice work sir 👏
Thank you so much for making this video keep posting great content
Well I am just as confused as a 2 headed rooster! I thought you were showing how to weld a 45 degree bung to a plate and cut the perfect through hole. Great jig for drilling wooden post! Like hearing you explain you steps and reasoning behind it. Keep up the good work. Be Safe.
Always the best!
That is so cool what a great idea 👍👍👍
You do nice work
The portaband chop saws can cut round parts at an angle, no welding required. I have a cheap harbor freight with a Milwaukee bandsaw in it. I do like seeing the options for regular bandsaws when it’s what you got. Some great technique, I need to learn how to do aluminum like that.
Very cool. Thanks.
Nice Aaron . Yep, those restarts are really nice . :)
Nice tips thanks 👍
What a welder!!!! ❤
I have no idea how I ended up here. But cool, adding it to the bucket list
Makes me want to get in the lab and practice my welding 😊
Holy moly. There's a voice...😮
The voice was so jarring. Not to say you have a bad voice. Just so unexpected. Thanks for the knowledge.
the real value in these videos is what you are showing .. all the fabrication tricks - not the actual welding !
Watched the whole video, then read the comments and everyone one say he spoke… I had the sound off first time round so had to rewatch it as I didn’t believe it haha 😅 🎉 nice 👌
You do better with the familial tremor than I do. Makes things much more complicated.
Two words, Mad Skills
That's 4 words
Thanks!
this is great!
Thank you for that.
He has spoken!
Nice to hear your voice ;)
Any experience with 356 cylinder head repair - modification? Would particularly interested in filler materials, process, and post process.
seems i've seen all of your videos... very offen you are using a band saw. what is it? model? can you share your experience to choose correct one... also for metal fabrication. thx
hey so ive always been curious, and it feels like the right time to ask since you've started talking in videos. do you talk in the online training? i have an easier time learning i think when there's some talking to listen to. been watching your videos for a long time and always thought highly of them. been on the fence of the online training for a while for that reason though.
No, because I feel it is quicker and easier to look through text to find information, compared to hunting back and forth through a bunch of videos to find the exact spot where someone is speaking information. Written text is much easier to reference, especially if you want to go back and review.
For example (for educational purposes),
If I were to tell you everything I said through this video in text instead, directly below the video in a paragraph description, you'd be able to find and digest (read) the pertinent information much quicker. And there would be no hunting for it if you came back to refresh. It takes about 20 seconds to read the paragraph vs. going back through an entire 10 minute video hunting for something you can't recall.
Another example- If you are curious about hertz settings, you can click on that page and read a quick 2 paragraph explanation in about 10 seconds that tells you everything you need to know, or watch a 3 minute video, or both. Your choice.
Fuck I can’t argue with that. Well said. In an educational sense it’s more efficient to just have it written down bare bones. You sold me quick there
Nice work my friend. I work weekly for welds like yours.; almost got it... That said, I have a 225 precision tig, 60 hz machine. Do you favor inverter machines over 60 hz transformer machines?
He speaks!
What if you made a two piece sleeve to go around the smaller part of the bit, and just hold it together with an oring?
Suggestion: showing how to get in between tubes that are close together, but need to be welded all the way around (runners for an intake manifold).
What type of belds and which speeds do you use on your beltgrinders? Mine always clogs up the belt on most aluminium alloys.
Btw these dabs look insane as usual.
Part numbers and all machinery is listed on the website (2nd video)
I'm freaked out by the talking 😱😁
My inside corner welds suck, I struggle with that so bad man.
A Voice!!!!!!
Hi I was wondering if I can use your online course to weld steel or it’s just for aluminum?
Aluminum and a bit of stainless steel
Love the variable amperage controller idea... but damn is it expensive! It cost almost half the price of my 250amp digital ac/dc inverter tig welder lol
nice trick to align the tube on ur plate .. and ur welding looks excellent. having a similiar thing for a kind of coat hook. but with much more tiny parts ... micro welding .. challanging and annoying at the same time :-)
❤️
Was that the radio??
We got the voice now we just need to see what he looks like.
Will your tig button work on my old Synchrowave 250? I think it's a '95 with a 14 pin
Yes, all miller 14 pin

The list of compatible machines is at the bottom of the order page: www.6061.com/tigbutton.htm
@@6061I just had a look on your website and my machine isn't listed. I have a T&R Multiwave, it's sold under UNIMIG Australia.

Unimig is now supported. You can order through the website. Please make sure to enter your exact make and model.
Thanks

Would a hole cutter not have been better than a forstner bit?
OK, nevermind. It's about the holes in the wood, not the jig. Nice work!
You don't get weld burn on your arms welding with short sleeves ?
Not when TIG welding at relatively low amperages for short periods of time.
👍
he has a voice!
The aim of the art it is not to represent the outer appearence of things but iis importance for the inner ,,,,Aristotle.
I was expecting James Earl Jones.
👍👍😎👍👍
Dude I have a welding certificate aluminum
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=
In the mustang intake repair video you made 4 years ago, you used something to texture the aluminum, what was the machine you used??? The link in there did not match the tool you were using, would love to know exactly what it was, thank you 🙏🏼 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-=-= -=-=-=
43 is okay, but I think 69 runs a little better on my machine.
He talks! 😮
Я думал вы не умеете говорить 😮
Every time you start to speak, I‘m scared 😂😂😂😂😂
woooot? voice reveal on a normal video
I thought you were making a flag holder.
He did that already, well he didn't make it. Some many videos back he fixed one.
He’s not a Mute. 😂
Bit confused hearing the talky talky, thanks for the tips.
I thought he was a mute 😂😂😂
WAIT DID HE SPEAK
First, he's not a mute. Next, he'll have a face.
tutorial soon on how to use a calculator with thick gloves on???? absurd olympics on my computer screen right now, how?
Dude's dexterity with thick Tilman gloves on is part of his mastery of working with Aluminum. I'm worthless, gloved - meaning I'm always needing to cool my work back down to handle...
You can talk
