- So i bought a cheap welder to finish off the rear bag set up. The results are surprisingly good!

When you start welding to the body you might find it blows through much easier, pointing the gun more towards the thicker metal will help as will doing small sections at a time and allowing it to cool. When you prep the body panels with a flap disc or whatever be careful not to thin the edges of the metal as this also makes blows through much easier

Awesome! thanks for the tip dude!
Never hurts to grab a propane torch and sweat the bit of moisture out of the Steal preheating always helps with penetration makes the world look really good
Appreciate the tip dude!
That's it you've made up my mind to get a gasless set up. Never welded before and if I can get my welds that good I'll be more than happy! Love the build and look forward to more updates....
Looking good! A welder will open up a lot of fabrication options.
Only thing to watch out for is welding by the window, hot sparks will pit at minimum and could break the glass .
Thanks man, really excited to start exploring more aspects of builds now.
Oh i definitely will! i need to think of a solution for it.
True this. I learnt that the hard way.😒
Good job Chris. I picked up a welder last year to start learning and I can truthfully say it was the best decision to do so. As soon as you're more into it and see the things you can create I promise you won't regret it. The best tip I can give you is checking Fitzee's Fabrication and Trev's Blog channels for tons of metal fabrication tips, they taught me a lot. Keep doing what you're doing!
Keep up the awesome work! I just picked up a welder from Amazon to try and fab and rust repair on my K swapped civic.
Great to see an update, make sure to have a fire extinguisher and keep rags, acetone, oil away from the welder. First welds looked great!
Looks good, and I appreciate the video. I may be able to give this a go myself even.
I'm no welder nor have i ever welded but those look good enough for me,Chris!
Thanks dude! I’m really happy with them so far. Keen to practice more and get better.
I’ve heard that for FCAW welding (flux core arc welding) you don’t always want to do circles or Cs when you weld because doing so could trap slag/flux inside the weld. Instead I was told to drag the bead straight and slow (enough) which when done with the proper settings does make a nice little smooth weld. I do find myself making little Cs sometimes to bridge gaps.
Also seems you may be learning that it’s best to tack the parts together and check fit before committing to a full length weld! Lol. Always easier to grind off a tack than cut the whole corner (or scrap it altogether and start new)
Welds look great! Thicker metal like that is where flux core shines. It's a shame you don't have a bigger budget. We know you could do more amazing things. :D
Good to see another vid man! Will watch whatever you put out my friend, do what you feel like doing and we'll come along for the ride.
Thanks dude, really appreciate the support!
Welding looks great. Really nice beads. 😎👍
One thing I've learnt when welding.... My grinding has become a lot better 😹😹😹
Ha! Can never be too good at grinding!
Humble as ever , looks get for your first welds , having said all that iam no expert , great content as ever 😊
Looks good
Nice work, Ive never done welding myself but keen to give it a go one one, I'd be well pleased if I can get it half as good as you 👍
Nice work
Hi boss great job God bless
Can you do a thin steel thick steel setting speed and setting please
I like this.... another!
Nice work I'm your fun
My mate always want a lot of slag, iv sent him your video 😂
Great job and video 👍👍🇨🇱
Im no expert, but your welds look pretty good. I would recommend tilting the stick end toward the start as you pull away. I notice u holding it straight as you pull from left to right.
Thanks man, had another play today and adjusted it like you said....definitely made a difference.
Also I realised that my mask is toast, so ordered a new one so I can actually see 😂
@@BuildCreate sounds good. I've spent a good deal of time hating my flux core, it's fast and easy, but gets the job done in the most temperamental ways. I did the exhaust on my bike and it was not fun. No matter the thickness, I've always had it on max and higher spool speeds. Spending too much time in one spot will blow through material more often then max amps in short bursts.
BANG ON THE WELDS! see if they are strong
Buy anti spatter spray next time you get next to nothing sticking to any surfaces you sprayed try it out I'll link it if needed for others gasless takes more skill gas mig a monkey can do professionally ✌️😅 much love great content have a lovely day 💪
please film the van
Ye
Love your "Yank" accent! 🤣
Tidy looking welds for flux-core, but I notice you didn't show the flip-side for signs of penetration.
Good looking welds are pretty useless if they don't have good penetration, i.e. they will snap off under pressure.
Clarke have a good reputation for making cheap welders, and your vid supports that. Replacing the earth clamp was a good move: the one supplied wiith the welder looked to be rubbish. You say you also sourced some flux-core wire instead of using the wire supplied, and I wonder what brand you used - sounds expensive, but seems to have performed well.
The Clarke welder that you used is often recommended (and endorsed in reviews) as good for car body work, and I would have liked to have seen how it welds thinner metal, such as that found in most exterior car body panels, which is around 20 gauge / 0.9mm. Welding at such thicknesses is a real challenge for most flux-core welders. I wonder how you got on welding the piece that you fabricated to the body of the truck, which looked to be two different thicknesses, and welding in the perpendicular can add to the challenge.
The work that you did in your vid is well executed, and if you intend doing a lot more, I recommend you get a welder that works with Argon/Co2 gas, because you will find it so much easier, especially when working on vehicles. Selby do some good mig welders at a reasonable price, or if you can stretch to just under £500, R-Tech are the class leaders around that price in the UK.
I enjoyed watching your video - thank you.

I was just hoping you'd upload a new video!
Get you some gas and the welds will also be hell of a lot easier and cleaner .... plus you can do aluminum also¡
Whats it like welding thin metal??
Just out of the curiosity why you chose so thick metal to make that "cover" piece? Cos I didn't see there was any structural things that you cut off. I would thought that 14 gauge (2mm) steel would have been plenty enough. Don't know what's the standards there but even 21 (0.8mm) would have done the job. Anyways great to see someone so exited about welding as I were when bought my first "proper" mig, but believe me it will get under your skin at some point. 😁 Thanks for the videos focusing on the budget side of the building. 👍
Hey Chris, have you tried the welder with thin gauge stuff? Still need to get loads of welding done on our Cortez and a gasless might be the way forward! Andy
Hey Andy.
Not yet, next time I’m down the workshop I’ll dig out some thinner stuff.
Can’t see it being a problem.
@@BuildCreate Cool, thanks!
When we getting the walk around of the svx?
The link you added for the flux/wire takes you to a 0.8 wire i thought this welder uses 0.9 ??
It can use up to 0.9. So 0.8 is fine.
What sort of pattern did you follow when you welded? like circles or a straight pull?
just went with small circles, seemed to work better than a pull.
Hi what wire did you use and where from. Thx
Link is in the description dude.
check out urchfab
Started following him recently. Really detailed content!
How's the welder getting on? Any issues or anything?
Honestly, really good! Can’t fault it at all.
I wouldn’t mind a little less splatter, but you can get a spray to cut that out.
Just make sure you upgrade the clamp and get decent wire!
Welcome back! Can I have the links for the welder and the wire setup?
Cheers
Of course dude. I've added it into the description.
Just bought myself 1! 👍🏼
@@Hommell397 awesome. I’m so happy with it. Did you get a better earth clamp? Think mine was only £10-12. Totally worth it.
@@BuildCreate not yet, took all week to convince the wife I needed 1.. maybe next week! Haha
Let's hear some more American accent impressions haha
I might do haha! The bulk of my audience are Americans :)
