Found your site a week or so ago. One of The Very Best!..thanks so much for sharing your skilled experience. Clear, no music, excellent camera work. I've learned some tips I hope I'll remember. Keep them coming
Great video. Mirrors many of my own thoughts. SPIDERS... that's the one that got me. Building a metal bed frame for my truck. Don't want any crevices for the bugs. TA!
Thank you very much. I welded with a stick welder for many years, then went to MIG and I believe learning to weld with a mig would be the best way to learn. I wish you the best.
Thanks for this video Gavin. Im midway through my first welding project and without a drop saw Im no chance of finishing the 90 degree corners with a mitre. Going to cap them like this instead. Cheers mate.
What a pleasure it is to learn by watching your content. I think after watching this lesson might be able work out how to make a flush/slightly recessed weld on nut (i just need to buy the welder 😅).
That last one with the wood plug; go down to your local welding supply shop and ask for some "hardwood rods" then you can weld that plug in there. Just a thought, no need to thank me. Nice video thanks.
Great video! Useful pointers for sealing a boat trailer I’m making. Some pour oil in before sealing I believe. Do you think that wood option would keep the water out if submerged?
In the long term the answer is no, but it will keep it out as long as the paint you paint over it seals it in. Boat trailers get a tough life, put underwater then dragged out and left all day in the sun, If you weld a plate over the opening it would be much better. Hope that helps a bit
Depending on the application lots of times I only weld the corners and dont run a weld all the way around and since the jobs aren't going on a space shuttle its plenty good enough.
@@GavinClarkdiy yeah. I worry about that too. I’m not used to all this that’s going. Came here from London, UK. It’s looks a bit crazy to me. I’m in south Florida. It’s a bit more relaxed down here. Be good and take care. Waiting for next vid. 🍻
when cutting flat 1 bar keep your cut as close to the vice as posible this cuts down on viabration and makes your cutting disk last longer 2 keep the grinder geerdrive away from the vice alowing for step 1
Hi Julie, I am surprised you don't weld, that would be the one missing thing in your renovation skills, I can't wait to see your house, you have done so much work on it. I don't know when we will get over there, but I am hoping it will be before the end of March. Looking forward to catching up, thank you for your comment.
Personally I do #3. I think it looks best. Kind of like you cut through solid square bar. You're not shaping either, you're just leveling the weld to the two pieces of metal.
@@GavinClarkdiy Friction welding is a pretty amazing thing to watch...steel spinning on steel, glowing redhot, melting then welded! I've always wondered if one could do this with a mag drill and suitable insulated between the jaws and the fastener (I have one - they are frigging strong and perhaps the only thing I have that could maybe do this...but its expensive, so I don't want to risk it). What about aluminium, wonder if that can be friction welded? Better look up friction welding on yt :)
@@MiniLuv-1984 I have watched friction welding on youtube, I agree an amazing process, and some massive shafts getting welded. I can't imaging that we could be doing it at home even on a small scale, need lost of pressure pushing the bits together too as well as spinning them. A very interesting thought. Thanks.
Yes you are right, I left the plastic ones out and the galvanized ones you buy for fence posts, both do the job they were made for, but I like making sparks and belting things with my hammer, and those two would be no fun. Hahaha Thank you for your comment.
Hahaha Believe me there are many happy spider colonies living here with me, but sometimes you have to evict the problem ones, so they can sit in their web and watch you from a distance and not so up close. Thank you for your comment.

You're welcome!
very useful how to close the hole / end of the hollow pipe. greetings friends
Thank you very much, Greetings from Australia.
Awesome 👌 thanks
like the magnet trick ❤
Yes it makes the job nice and simple, thank you for your comment.
If you run into the last one and it’s tight just take the angle grinder and cut a groove around them..
Very useful thankyou
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.

Hey, thanks man.
No problem, glad I was of some help.
INTERESTING VODEOS.THANKS!
GREAT VIDEOS!!!!
Thank you I am glad you liked them, thank you for your comment.
Enjoyed the video, Gavin. What MIG wire are you running and what amperage settings?
great stuff mate
Thank you very much, I am happy that you liked it.
@@GavinClarkdiy applied some of those techniques today and worked well !!
@@Nothingbutskill1 Awesome news, thank you for letting me know. I wish you the best for your projects.
hello super idée
Merci beaucoup, je suis heureux que cela vous ait plu.
Briliant
Thank you very much.
Hey m8. Good to see you back.
Oh, and leave those spiders alone. Nasty business, they are. 🥴
Thanks mate, good to be back, I try not to upset the spiders too much, they have a lot of mates. Thank you for your comment.
@@GavinClarkdiy 🍻👍🏻. You’re the man.
Watching the politic circus going on here in America right now. 🥴😏
Been watching too, hope it doesn't turn into something huge. Keep safe mate

Waiting for next vid. 🍻
Hope to have the next one up in a week.
Think the wood end caps would be able to support casters for tables under a 1,000 max?
It would not be something I would do. I think it may have a problem if you are pushing it and it hit a bump.
What welder did you use?
Magnet trick FTW
Good👍👍👍👍👍 sir g
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.
What kind of wire welder is that mine doesn't work nearly that nice!
I am using a MIG welder, a Unimig Viper 182 and I am using gas with it.
ډېرښه very nice
Thank you very much
Cool
Thank you very much.
Perfect timing but I can't weld. When did you say you were coming up again? 😀🤣

Yes it is nice and simple and quick too. Thank you for your comment.
How do you weld the wooden block in? :) Love your tips Gav, thanks mate.
I used a friction weld to hold the wood in there, Hahaha. I am glad you liked it Benny, thank you for your comment.

You left off no. 5. Just keep filling in the hole with weld 🤣
Yes, we never talk about that one. Thank you for your comment, Hahaha

Capping tubing is what separates man from the rest of the animals.
Hahaha, I think you are right, Cheers
Damnit I have to begin capping my tubes so I dont get Australian spiders in them. Creepy buggers teleporting across the world.
you forgot about the plastic end caps you can buy
Yes you are right, I left the plastic ones out and the galvanized ones you buy for fence posts, both do the job they were made for, but I like making sparks and belting things with my hammer, and those two would be no fun. Hahaha Thank you for your comment.
That wouldn't be a very interesting video, now would it 🤔 ?
Why would you deny a spider somewhere to live?😁
Hahaha Believe me there are many happy spider colonies living here with me, but sometimes you have to evict the problem ones, so they can sit in their web and watch you from a distance and not so up close. Thank you for your comment.

The pyramid way
I guess people on UA-cam do not use cutting torches.
I am just using simple tools when I can.
