    I sure do love these un-narrated, un-captioned and context-less videos. Awesome.

    Aaron - I always love your efficient, fast, and accurate ways of fixturing components for welding. I can't wait to see the next installment!

    I subscribed to the 6061 website last year and would highly recommend it for people struggling with tig welding.
    I had previously been trying to learn to tig weld using all the great videos that are out there, but the results were mostly poor, and I didn’t feel I knew what I was doing, or how to adapt to different joints or metal thicknesses. The 6061 method is carefully structured, and quick and simple to follow. I have run through the method on 3 mm (1/8”) aluminium, and then successively thinner sheet. Now, on real-world joints on real projects, not coupons, many of my welds look really good, with full penetration. Plus it’s clear to me what settings to use and why.
    Thanks Aaron, you've enabled me to fit learning a difficult skill into my limited spare time. I think you have a great approach. I think your subscription fee is very reasonable, and I recouped that many times over, just by following your fabrication tricks, and not falling into the trap of buying a load of new tools.

    Your videos are super entertaining and informative. Somehow you manage to do it without speaking at all. I don’t mind people talking, but this way it’s always straight and to the point.

    Aaron I notice that you always are welding aluminum on a aluminum plate on your welding table. Is that a recommendation or is that just by habit?

    what's that stuff you spray when drilling? great vids keep up the good work.👍

    • @motoz3939
      @motoz3939 Рік тому +3

      WD40 likely. Kerosene works too but it’s kerosene and people get worried when you start spraying it everywhere

    • @dunbarautomotive

      wd40 I think

      Yes, but this lathe is the same one I've been using for 15 years now. I have a bigger CNC one that I use from time to time too.

    Interesting build but it would be nice it you explained what your doing and why (your not a mute) instead of hitting your helmet when you screw up. Thank you for the work in progress video instead of the other non-essential stuff. Yes, I subscribe to watch your videos to try and learn.

      @@6061 It's weird cuz I can't seem to find them anymore. I left comments on those videos saying who's the real owner and it should pop up in my recent activity log. But i can't seem to find anything. I guess they were deleted as i reported every post that i found. I'll be sure to inform you in the future if i come across those videos again.
