Nice work and good presentation! The heat affected zone of your welds looks pretty small. Looks like you are using pulse tig. Could you please describe your settings and whether you had to hammer out a lot of shrinkage? Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words! I wasnt using pulse with the TIG, just a nice quick weld. Used .030 Mig wire as a filler on a super tight gap. There was definitely some hammering out the shrinkage after, but with the heat control of the TIG it wasn't too bad!
I don't typically back step with the TIG, but everybody has their own way that works for them! If I can't get in behind to work the panel after I'll skip around and keep it cooler, but with this panel I was able to just run the whole weld and hammer it out after.
Amperage was likely around 80 amps, but with the feathering on the foot pedal it's hard to say where I was actually welding at. Tungsten was 3/32 and I was using .030 Mig wire as filler.
Your work is among the best I’ve seen.
Very kind words, thank you for watching!
High skill, thax from Sweden

That looks like a time intensive repair
It definately takes some time, but that extra time leaves a nicer end result!

Beautiful work. But the loud music seems a bit excessive. A distraction.
Thanks for the feedback Dennis! I'm still learning how to edit so I will be sure to keep an eye on the music volume in the future!
Thank you for sharing your time and videos, where you get that sheet metal cutter?
Thank you for watching! The sheet metal cutter is powerfist brand, from a Princess Auto, basically the Canadian Harbor Freight
Awesome job Preston
Thanks!
Looks awesome , great work 👍👍
Thank you so much!
Just a tip. Back stepping those welds will minimize warpage. Nice Work!

Please lose the godawful music.
Still learning how to edit, but I'll be sure to make the music less imposing in future videos. Thanks for watching
What amperage did you have your tig welder set to, a what size tungsten and filler rod did you use?
Amperage was likely around 80 amps, but with the feathering on the foot pedal it's hard to say where I was actually welding at. Tungsten was 3/32 and I was using .030 Mig wire as filler.
Great content but what happened to the video making? Would love to see more!
Thanks for supporting the channel! We've been through some major changes over the last 6 months, and I hope to get back to video making soon!!!

Which electric shears are those? They’re way nicer than mine.
They are the Canadian equivalent of harbor fright, and I need a better pair haha
When you have all of the tools to do an awesome job.
