Very nice but I think you should be using dc pulse at about 2.5 Hz then you can use more amps and you maybe able to just fuse weld instead of using filler rod. For the outside corner to corner.
@@zeemanjr is DC not AC TIG which is why the oxide isn't breaking. Cheers J
I don't know why you stopped calling yourself the designer blacksmith. And yes maybe you are not a traditional blacksmith, but you are a master at what you do man. Very good looking build,
@@Dmitri_Schrama thank you. I'm simply not doing much forging anymore, I still do a bit for clients now and then but it's no longer my identity. I'm honestly enjoying playing with the new tech toys and tinkering with off grid cheap solutions. I'm even getting qualified as a woodsman and doing more green woodwork. I think I'm a little traumatised from failing to make money as a blacksmith and considering I have 4 children now I like to take easier routes that still use my creativity. Cheers J
Very intricate design and awesome design features such the hot riveting of the connections. I do have two points of critique though. Always put a resistor in series with an led to limit its current. Leds are current dependent. When shrinking heat shrink with a lighter, don't hold the heat shrink directly into the flame, because it will burn quickly. You can even see the heat shrink having signs of combustion in the video. Regarding the buck converter, the efficiency is not a constant over the entirety of its voltage range. Personally I wouldn't have used a 9V battery to begin with. I'd use two AA rechargeable cells with a boost converter or just a voltage regulator, an LDO for example, and a led with lower forward voltage. If you match the forward voltage of your led to your supply voltage, little voltage will fall across your resistor and thus very little energy will be wasted in terms of heat as the resistor value can be lower.
@@xFlow150 thank you. I'll consider that for future projects. I have a lot to learn. Cheers J
Have to say, possibly the best video you have done to date, and I've watched them all
1000% great
@@SuperMerlin2005 thank you so much. It's not performing very well on the algorithm so I'm not sure what I've done wrong. It maybe that half my subscribers came through my diesel heater videos and so are not interested in metalwork.... Cheers J
God bless mate.
Really looking forward for the water tank build and the gasifier.
@@4evermetalhead79 thank you so much. Lots to come. God bless. Cheers J
Nice to see an honest warts and all review!
This (imo) is the best way to get really good product ..... give it your best shot and listen to the pro's rip it apart, then listen to them and fix what you can!
I hope they do listen and make improvements. The old machine was fantastic and is still my go to welder. Cheap too. Cheers J
Beautiful design and using the tig to heat the rivits is genius. Could you link the video to the positive air respiratory build
Thank you so much. I've updated the description for you. cheers J
WTF!!!!!
Bypassing fuses so the supplier understands our ring mains are fused at 32A so this is much more dangerous!!!
My biggest problem is customers moaning it worked for years before catching fire & why when wire to original spec which insurance company will only pay for & I fit correctly fused no longer works!
They then have to pay for a separate new higher rated supply!
Your right. Cheers J
Well God works in misterious ways 😂 to give you your artisan ability.....
@@Rockall57 he sure does. Cheers J
I have watched your channel since early days. I believe you have the ability to adapt to any technical skill, and have a mind capable of expanding the parameters. Please do not deprive your inventiveness and continue to explore and improve most things that take your interest - we will all benefit.
Thank you so much David, I appreciate your lasting support, I'll do my best to continue delivering content that is beneficial and creative. cheers J
We all need magic pixies! Brilliant design. I'm stunned on that plug or rather fuse!
@@TheCNCDen thank you so much. Yes I was very disappointed in the whole build quality to be honest and the fact the features didn't work as well as the old model which was excellent. I warn all my sponsors that I'm going to be objective regardless. Simder were very apologetic and I hope they make the necessary changes. Cheers J
With most new good welders you don't have to preheat aluminum anymore.. this welder is junk
Amazing skill / knowledge / design / everything. Cracking job.
@@spongefactory thank you so much. Cheers J
Ive seen the plasma torches with the non contact start cut out like that when the ground isnt so good. It will time out if it doesnt sense a proper ground return.
The scorpions are incredible. Superb work! You're inspiring.
@@Leo99929 thank you so much. Cheers J
That bypassed fuse on TWO welders is enough to tell me that Simder are definitely NOT a trustworthy company.
Putting peoples' lives at risk like that is absolutely unforgiveable - AND CRIMINAL !
NO way would I EVER buy ANY product of theirs now, so thanks for an honest review.
Regards Mark in the UK
It is dissapointing because I've enjoyed their machines for a long time. They have replyed to say they're sincerly sorry and that they're taking actions with the manufacturer to sort the issue. unfortunately it is common with cheap machines. cheers J
@@joshuadelisle Thanks for taking the time to reply, but how do these things get through product safety checks during importation?
People could have died and have their houses burnt down. Then there would be the inevitable 'enquiry' where lessons would be learned. Except they wouldn't, and in any case we should be at the lessons learned and strict rules applied stage now.
@@thecorbies when it comes to wiring your absolutely right. When you first check the fuse as I always do it's not noticeable until you remove it as the bypass is hidden behind. Customs obviously can't check every single shipment and it's very possible it was missed if they did. A 32a RCD breaker switch should be in place anyway for mains sockets and certainly putting on a 32a plug as I did would actually act the same as the bypass only done properly and less likely to overheat. Cheers J
Awesome video, amazing scorpion. Thank you Joshua
@@hornetboy3694 thank you so much. Cheers J
They look absolutely fantastic. Kind of Sci-fi alienish, steam punkish lol. Make large versions for that Burning Man thing! I'm trying to picture these actually being used to deliver a drink in the intended setting? That could very well be worth an interesting short video alone! Your channel could really take off. This seemed to com out of no-where. People should see this stuff.
Thank you but interestingly this type of content isn't performing well on my channel. I think its because half my subscibers are from my diesel heater videos and so many are not interested in my metalworking which is why the algorithm thinks its a flop....
@@joshuadelisle You need a Scorpion Diesel Heater! Maybe a Dragon?
Just wooooow!!
That sticky back paper trick is amazing!!!
I’ve got to try it!
I’m betting you can use that paper over and over too!!
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀🍀🍀😎☮️☮️☮️
@@stevesloan6775 thank you so much and yes you can. Cheers J
Phenominal work Josh. Your creative talent never ceases to amaze me. Are we due another diesel heater hack this winter 👌🏽
Thank you so much. Hopefully yes. I've made a heat exchanger and want to make underfloor heating with it. I've got a lot to do though that I've already promised for people. So it depends if I can get the time in. Cheers J
Heads up as also seen the cables go crinkly as they use aluminium which causes heat.
PLUS OUR CHINESE FRIENDS DO MATHS ON A 200-220V SUPPLY!
OK only 40-50v out on the maths but could be fire or the insulation can melt exposing conductors to touching. As handled cable which felt like plasticine & forced the conductors out!
So please do the aluminium test as aluminium needs to be a 1/3 thicker than copper but supply cable with same cross area in aluminium but using copper maths!
I work in an industrial & garage workshops in the UK!
I love your content & sorry to moan but it's the moaning I get about products I did not supply but expected to support!
This is excellent information to me and I'll certainly try to inform people better when I come across other machines with similar problems. I'm no electrician and a little knowledge is a dangerous thing for sure. I'll try and do better research. Cheers
Any short circuit mig is going to struggle getting toot peneration past 5 or 6 mm even good brands.
Really you need spray arc which is over 30 volts on c25 gas.
If you use a higher argon content 92% argon 5% co2 & 3% oxygen
Argosheild light from Boc or similar.
You can get into Spray around 27 volts.
More expensive machines give you more options though like WFS control and pulse features are usually better thought out.
Your ac Tig aluminium problem is probably the balance, some machines calculate the balance off the EP some of EN. Try 30 then try 70
See what happens.
@@deepwinter77 you're right. The ac balance though I did try 70% and 30% as well as changing the HZ and even trying swapping leads but it did nothing to get the oxide to melt. Cheers J
So many tips in here, wow! And I'm loving the welder, I am going to Raffal like last time and get me some tickets, would be nice to win this welder!
Thank you so much for your support, I wish you the very best. cheers J
Absolutely amazed at your work, those scorps are awesome and a shed ton of design and cad went into those, far beyond the means of this poor little old duck (me 🙂) I got super excited when I heard you say CNC plasma cutter I have been waiting eons/an age/a long long time ago/a quantum fractal bi-divergent conglomeration well ok maybe not that long for another installment of the CNC plasma cutter in action. Hopefully soon? I am in awe and somewhat jealous of you ability. Keepem coming and take care.
@@TheHayruss thank you so much. Yes I haven't done more on the CNC plasma because it's still working fine as it is and only needed for small jobs. I had originally planned on building a big one but haven't got the room for it yet. I am however going to be receiving an arc droid soon which has some very interesting features. Maybe I'll compare them both. Cheers J
All very timely info mate, cheers. Just looking at new welders and spool gun capability is high on the list. Plus I now know I need an air chamfer...thanks, I think ;)
@@m3chanist lol. Excellent. The spool gun does the job but you get what you pay for as far as quality. Again I'm happy to fix it if it breaks because it's cheap enough to justify it but I wouldn't rely on this machine for commercial use. Cheers J
Aargh Matey - No demonstration of the scorpion in full working mode. You are a great designer and metal worker. Thanks.
I'll be showing it in working mode in a short and in the next video coming soon. cheers J
These are very cool design but the pedant in me must point out that as arachnids, scorpions have a total of 8 limbs - only 6 legs and 2 claws. Still love the video though, keep making them!
@@jamessimmons3687 all the specimens I've seen have 8 legs and 2 claws....
Surprising you haven't got into laser welders, plus they clean very well, and they weld dissimilar metals. Right up thy street?
@@MrTimmmers I'm trying. I've asked a few companies for a collaboration but nothing yet. They're very pricey otherwise just to test. Cheers J
Really enjoy your content, thank you for the uploads
Thank you so much. cheers J
Instead of the sticky back paper, have you tried just painting the metal with a light coat of black paint or whatever works with your laser and then just lasering the image on? I do it all the time since the laser is not strong enough to Mark the metal. I've even tried dry erase markers which also works quite well and very easy to take off in the end. But it's hard to get a nice even coating with dry erase because if you accidentally hit the same spot twice, it almost takes it off
@@rdmevX that's definitely a possibility if you have a laser, mine can mark steel very well without any primer. It was very convenient to do the printer method for me and certainly easy for others to try out too. Cheers J
Outstandingly delightful scorpions, so enchanting to the eye. For battery saving, you could use a low drop out regulator which would be much cheaper & with fewer parts more reliable. My low cost plasma cutter came with a bar of copper soldered where the fuse should be! Replaced with a fuse, but as I mostly cut 18-20 gauge steel, it works fine at low output. Great review of the welder & its fault. For me I weld far more with stick than tig or mig, after watching various video by Indian makers & realizing how general purpose stick rods can do a lot of things, even relatively thin stuff if you keep welds very short, minimizing the heat input. If you have time could you do a bit of moon lighting & fix the UK economy. Thanks for sharing!
@@springwoodcottage4248 thank you so much. I personally love stick welding especially with 7018 rods. The 6013 are designed for thin metal as they are low penetrating. I'm not a fan of the Indian tack welding because it's just filled with porosity and slag inclusions. I did a bit for a gas pipe engineer for a while and I learned a lot on the British standard of stick welding. Cheers J
@@joshuadelisle yes, you are right re 6013. Much of what I do are jigs & other things that are temporary and/or low load fixings & all I need is to stick things together quickly & progress. I made some small gates for my personal use to keep deer, birds etc out of my garden with rebar & 6013 & they have performed well. The over heads of MiG & Tig hurt the economics whereas I can more quickly & for less cost do what I need with 6013. Thank you for your comments.
if you do tig welding in a cabinet, once it fills with gas... their is less to no need to back purge anything, repetitive assembly stuff... use less gas, over 12 times of 8hr/5day/8week shifts 24cfm adds up to 5.5 million CFM of back purging that is now not needed on a production quote. 30 cents a cubic foot are gone? tig welding cabinet
atmospheric condenser/separator in the back of the cabinet and a liquid air compressor to transfer it, zero loss, recycled in plant. meh?
@@ardennielsen3761 that would be great to have. Cheers J
I love them. Thats a cool trick to use the tig to heat up metal for rivets! I need to try to remember that.
@@MichellePalmer-i4k thank you so much. Cheers J
Love your content!
@@Leo99929 thank you so much. Cheers J
So its cr@p then
@@tonyhill8300 there's a lot I'm disappointed with compared to the old model. If I had tested all the functions before dividing into the project I may have declined it. I was very impressed with the old model and didn't think the new version would be any worse. Cheers J
Those are gonna get stolen in the first month - cause they are awesome 🤩
There have been attempts.... Cheers J
I watched another review on this and the welder seemed to get the settings correct.
@@espjason I've seen a few also but for some reason it wasn't working for me. Maybe I missed something but if anything that shows user interface issues and lack of instructions. I've been welding for 15 years so it's not a lack of skill. Cheers J
Very cool looking critter and a nice explanation of the processes involved.
Thank you, cheers J
Sorry... That welder is garbage!
@@jeffallen3382 compared to the Jasic I used or any of the main brands then yes your right. All those machines for under £1k is definitely a good deal though... Provided it all works... Cheers J
@@joshuadelisleI understand. I'll stick with my Millers though. They may cost more but when on the job and these cheap Chinese welders quit on you... That is costing you 10x what a Miller welder would cost to begin with.
@@jeffallen3382 definitely. Esab, fronius, linkoln, kempii etc are all quality assured but at a much higher price. Cheers J
Surprised you didnt go with stainless given the end use ,,,, but a fine job non the less.
@@tomthompson7400 the parts that get wet are stainless. But they wanted the genuine rustic forged look and the budget wasn't big enough for stainless so mild steel it is for the majority of the parts. Bit of rust will just add to the look. Cheers J
Remember you can use mig wire as tig fìller wire.
You sure can. cheers J
Good to see you again, those Scorpions are really good. I recently talked a fabricator into getting an induction heating unit, he was really pleased as the hardness achieved was pretty uniform. I much prefer TIG to MIG, I was working over Newark in the US and the power of their MIG was not too good. In fact I couldn't even get an undercut on it, not that I wanted to, so it was really underpowered. Really cool fabrication, see you next time, take care and be well 👍
@@thepagan5432 thank you so much and great to hear from you also. I think all the welding processes have their place for the right application. I personally love stick welding because its so simple and strong. Cheers J
A very good evening to you Mr. De Lisle, and how nice to see you here again. I am very happy to see that you are still making beautiful work. What an amazingly beautiful cocktail server, I would like to see that in real life!
I've missed several of your videos, now that I check. I'm rather sure that I did not receive notifications for them, even though 'all' is activated. Never mind, now there's a couple of nice ones to watch.
@@ClaudeSac thank you so much. I think the algorithm assumes some of my videos are junk and so prioritises other people's stuff. It happens unfortunately but I guess everyone can't be placed in front of the queue. Cheers J
Always good to see another video from the very talented Joshua De Lisle and this one is no exception.
Thanks for sharing and loving the design of your creation.

Looking forward to the gasifier
@@fuggles4159 thank you. I have lots of updates on that coming soon. Cheers J
I have a Simder 4050 as well and love it, but I didn't think it did TIG aluminium.
@@joemurray8902 it doesn't lol, my mistake. It has the HZ and balance but it's DC only, the HZ and balance is for pulse TIG. Cheers J
@@joshuadelisle Ahh! Thanks! I'm about to weld an aluminum project today and was playing with spool gun last week to narrow in the settings.
I'll have to open up mine to check the wires.
@@joemurray8902 the pulse MiG is meant for aluminum but I couldn't figure it out. The 100% argon was the one that worked for me. Cheers J
@@joshuadelisle Yah, I used the pulse mig but being a noob I'm not sure what I was doing. I got a couple of nice beads with that "frying bacon" sound and they were good but all the rest were really ugly but that's my inexperience showing. I'll just have to keep practising.
I'm sure big Clive is a warlock...😊

Really amazing looking drinks holders. From what the guys on the 'Lift Arc Studios' channel have said, modern electronic welders behave totally different to old transformer models, most require totally different set-up parameters.
Thank you. yes you're right. cheers J
Awesome
@@SuperMerlin2005 thank you. Cheers J
Im not sure you can trust drunk people with those, lots of pointed bits on it and looks quite heavy too
very true but these are drinks to enjoy and not to get drunk on. cheers J
Why not this new laser welding system..!?!
@@Rockall57 I'm waiting for someone to sponsor me with one. A laser welder would be sweet. Cheers J
I was interested to see that a 9V battery is ~4.5 Wh and AA is only 3.9 Wh, so the 9V should outlast two 1.5V AA in series! Add to that the buck unit regulating a solid 3V for most of that 4.5 Wh and that's a solid solution. I'm not sure I would have thought of using a 9V battery. Good thinking!
An 18650 with a USB C TP4056 could make them rechargeable? Voltage range would be ~ 4.2V to 3V. The calculator suggests you need a tiny little current limiting resistor to protect the LED like 2.5 Ohm so you might get away without one at all at the cost of the LED maybe lasting slightly less than the rated 50,000 hours. They have about 10 Wh capacity. I'd recommend a protected cell to prevent over/under charging. It's worth spending a couple of extra pounds to get a high quality one from a reputable source other than eBay. They could have them on charge between uses so they're always ready and don't need a stack of expensive 9V to periodically replace/run out whilst in use by a customer.
@@Leo99929 thank you so much. I'll look into that for the future. They have a charging station for rechargeable 9v batteries so all they needed was a quick battery change solution and 9v batteries are really easy to switch out in this design. Cheers J
@@joshuadelisle Rechargeable 9V batteries - One step ahead, again!
Step drill bit, such a cheat
That filter is bloody awesome !
@@davidkaye8712 lol. Thank you. Cheers J
5:50 Brilliant. Simply brilliant! I'll be using that trick myself, for certain. Thanks for sharing that, and so off-handedly.
Its the first time I tried that technique on a project after seeing a few others do it. its definately going to be a regular thing for me too. cheers J
