    fantastic job. a comment from my old dad who's an old tradesman early 80 says a "ruler"' is a king or queen and a "rule" is what you measure with. I'm just envious of someone who can fabricate and weld like you - best of luck.

    The first time I went to England, Nobody knew what a taco was. Now you guys make gussets from them. What a wonderful world. 😎🌮

    I saw the heading of your video earlier but couldn't watch it at the time. Now I'm watching your taco gusset video while eating tacos. Thanks for the dinner idea.

    I like the term "little wrap-over gusset-type plate things" much better, personally.

    I do love a good gusset! Matt, if there's one thing your channel needs more of, it's gussets! Have a like, sir!

  • @vandieselmetalworks4089
    @vandieselmetalworks4089 5 років тому

    I love that you do a little dry run or two with the torch before welding to be sure hand placement works. So many times that gets forgotten and things can get a little wonky. Little things that improve quality. Good on ya.

    Another shout out for ProFormance! We use them, too.
    We're based in central Scotland and we still get deliveries next day, even when we order in the afternoon.
    They're a brilliant company to deal with.
    Loving these videos!

    It also provides a simple way of aligning/syncing two or more audio or video sources in post-production if you ever get a second camera or sound recorder ;-)

    Taco gussets? Now I'm hungry for tacos. Thanks Brother. LOL.

  • @RussZHC
    @RussZHC 5 років тому +1

    A suggestion: for the next non-car related project, make yourself up a small press with the capacity to bend all stock you use regularly for brackets, tabs and such and make up a die or two that would allow you to just drop the pre-bent taco in place, press/form it and done. Would take some time to build proper but long term would save a lot of putskiing around with tube in a vise and clamps. If it has value depends on how many of these you make on regular basis.

    Crazy how you pick things up. I am building a motorbike trailer, and the quality is way better than normal for me. I just think "what would Matt do" and be like Matt...... well, maybe if Matt was crosseyed drunk but it's pretty bloody good.

    "like a glove..." - Matt you have a real great skill of making complicated fabrication tasks in to nice and easy to follow processes for the rest of us to follow. I like the fact that you often use basic tools to do it too, making these processes available to most of your viewers.

    Very nice work,the fillets really add to the function and look of the cage. I like to give the bits a blast of weld through primer before welding as can be hard to treat after welding. I got some great stuff from buzzweld in Bristol, makes a good difference.

    Like a glove 😂 I hope that there's an old teacher of yours out there watching that thought you'd never do anything good, is now thinking wow I was so wrong about that boy, he's an awesome welder and fabricator 😉👍 not so good at remembering to make the opposite sides of a die add up to seven, class after you made a point of saying it and then cocked it up, that's the sort of thing I'd do when showing g my son how to (or not) do something right 😂

    Looks great, how about a piece of angle bar with a notch taken out of one side the diameter of the tube. This would line up your two diagonals ? You could even clamp it if needed. Keep up the good work!
