I was just going to ask this ... welding is a mystical arcane thing to me, and it looks very handy and allows you to do some pretty amazing things. Very impressive.,
I always like to wear my PPE when watching your videos. This however did cause a problem with my viewing experience, as when it came to the welding part filmed through the visor, I was double protected, and therefore couldn't see anything. I can only assume that said section was equally as awesome as the rest of your videos ;) Thanks a lot!
a newbie stick welder here, your welds are beautiful but mine are always horrible, been searching on youtube for reasons and everyone says clean the millscale,rust etc. etc. you didnt do any of these so where am i wrong?
It just takes practice. I use an arc welder, as they will weld rusty metal, whereas a MIG welder will struggle. If you want a perfect weld, then preparation is key and having clean pieces of metal with no rust etc. will improve the quality of the weld. I’m not the best welder by far, in fact I’d call myself “the welder of last resorts”, when I worked on site- I would only weld, if nobody else was available 😂
No, brazing is not the same as welding. You can often pick up a cheap entry level welder pretty cheaply. Once you can weld you can make lots of things ;-) Thanks for the comment 👍
I need a pair of brackets like that, has anyone any idea where to get them from, or how much could you knock another pair up for including postage for those of us without welding gear or metalworking gear? Where are you, you sound like your in Bolton (UK), i'm in Wakefield (UK).
I'm in Darwen, Lancs (in between Bolton and Blackburn). Unfortunately I don't have time to make you a pair or else I would do but I'm mowed out for the next 4 months. If there is a welding shop or engineers near you I imagine someone there might make you a pair from offcuts.
+Keelin Black Originally I bought a load of different Dewalt gear from ebay and from car boot sales etc. But I ended up with loads of different voltage tools, so I sold them all on ebay and then with the proceeds I bought a Dewalt 18v five pack kit (it came in a huge case that was difficult to carry and larger than a suitcase LOL). Since then I have always just bought the "bare" tools, normally from ebay as you can get some real bargains this way.Thanks for the comment ;-)

Always inspires me to make something... then I never do. Nice job anyway!
"Then I never do it", hilarious
Nice clean cuts there, freehand master!
Nice ... looks as good as anything you'd buy at Home Depot.
Is it better to have the brace piece under tension or compression in a weld like that?
Excellent brackets. They are very strong and take up zero space.
Thanks for the comment 👍🏼
First rate job! I think those brackets would hold twice the weight you have on them.

What is the meterial used to make the AC outdoor brackets?

Lovely job!!! Love you channel 👍👍👍
Thank you so much!
Can a bracket be made without welding gear? would bolting it together be just as strong?, great vid again
To do small welding work like this can you use a blowtorch and grazing rods, if so what would be a good brand to buy.
No, brazing is not the same as welding.

Thanks for the comment 👍
Great idea. I know this is an old video, but how's it been holding up all these years after filling it with tools?
Absolutely fine.
The brackets will hold much more weight than a toolbox filled with tools
Thanks for the comment
@@ultimatehandyman Nice! Thanks for the reply.
Cool! Great example of a practical DIY welding job.
How u find the halfords boxes ...good video
They are great for the money, I have never had any problems with them so far.
Thanks for the comment 👍

Thanks, i managed to find some on ebay from a small fabrication shop. I was pretty close with your accent though.
Glad you got them sorted ;-)
Yes, you were very close!
Did you buy a cordless dewalt kit or buy all your dewalt tools and batteries seperate

Excellent video! What kind of camera were you using?
Its a Panasonic HDC-SD10, I have three of them and still use them for all my videos.
Thanks for the comment
can you please tell me what is the thickness of the metal you used to make the bracket
Usama Javed
If I remember rightly it was 45mm*45mm*6mm Angle iron.
I hope this helps ;-)
6013 welding rods? or?
+RCbasheracer
Yes, 6013 rods ;-)
Nice job, I hope you had a beer afterwards?
Are you a welder by trade ?
No, I'm a maintenance engineer. But I do a fair bit of welding on site, but normally vertical repairs to thick metal.
Thanks for the comment
Very good video thank you
