@@Owen_Brown_Eg that wasn't "welding"..... that was just a few tacks - of which none penetrated the base metal and as a result, these joints *will* fail....
The video is just over 8 minutes long, so luckily the welds only need to last about 9.
🙏
Tack welds on a butt joint = zero penetration. And then ground off completely flat. Lol the only thing holding that together is the black paint! 👍
Would be interested in seeing your video with how it should be done. Please put one up for us all to see.
@@gerryatrick He is absolutely right. I've been welding for 30 years I don't need a welding channel or video to tell you that I could take those pieces and smack them against a table and bust the joints.
I have never welded a thing in my life and I was immediately suspicious that those tiny spot welds that are almost completely ground off are going to be useless structurally. Glad there are some welders to call it out in the comments when I looked.
What is the proper way to might weld
Check out 3:44 after the first passes with the grinder.
"a grinder and paint...makes me the welder i ain't"
A cold welded trailer tongue will soon train a painter-grinder about lack of fusion.
Exactly....
😂😅
Entertaining. It should come with a disclaimer that those spot welds on the tubes are not suitable for metalwork requiring strength due to low penetration.
Were these people 0
@@Talla2XXL Let's hope nobody uses that technique when it matters
You could still use the same initial concept and just weld normally.
@@VestigialHead Or reshoot the video using a welding technique for strong welds.
The welds themselves are garbage
I've been in factory work for almost 30 years now and knew tons of welders, sheet metal, and machinists journeymen over the years while I was setting tools and dies. I should have taken welding up. I had plenty of guys that would have trained me and I love it.
Why not start now?!
Go get it
Clever way of cutting metal to make bends, but if you want any strength in your welds, you need to grind a valley channel into the weld points. Then, with the welder, fill the valleys with weld, making sure the welder is set to proper amperage and voltage for gauge of metal you’re working with.
What you’re doing is making superficial surface tack welds, then grinding them down, leaving behind next to nothing. These would be fine for cheap IKEA desks, but I wouldn’t use these for anything heavy!
Still liking the video simply for showing the cutting techniques.
I'm sure this guy knew that the welds would not hold up a train ingine.he was just sharing his knowledge of how to make corners for people that haven't been doing it for years or don't have a 3 d imagination.
@@larrygooch6233 there are people that can't imagine 3Dimensions? How would the see a ball in their head? I'm legit asking because I've never heard that before. But it sounds like an interesting topic.
Love the way he always moves the ruler to measure 1.5cm instead of just putting a mark at 1.5 and 3 and 4.5cm lol
Compounding errors👍
blade width?
Oh yeah? Do you love it?
Saw it 2. Zero accurate
To all the naysayers, use the geometric patterns and make the proper welds. I believe that’s the point of the video anyway…not how structurally sound the end product is. Personally I think the patterns used for the fabrication is awesome.
I do agree with ya on the aesthetic but the strength is a different story.
@@scottyphillips7799 add metal to inside of pipe...tack and enclose THEN weld properly and grind
I agree 👍 with you; there is so much I learned from this video; especially in forming those bends.
Cutting is not fabrication
@@armstronglabordethe bends are just geometry did you sleep through that class in school
For the love of God JUST RUN A BEAD!! These spot welders will drive ya nuts!
I watch these videos to learn from both the video itself and also the many many comments. Always appreciate the useful stuff and also learn from the mistakes. Thanks to everyone both the video maker and the people who commented.
Plenty of legit welders to learn from on YT but all this video is teaching is creative editing and has nothing to do with actual welding to bond pieces of metal together.
When you wanted welding lessons, but your parents got you a laptop and editing software.
I try not to be a jerk about people being creative but I have no idea what "unboring" technique he was using. Spot welding? Lol
@@unsolicitedditkapics9722 I'm still looking for the pipe in the video
If you're going to grind down the welds at least weld it right. The way you are showing has no structural value. I fabricate rescue baskets and other load bearing devices and your welding would not pass weight testing and would be dangerous in certain applications.
I have to absolutely agree with your statement.
I tig everything I do in shop. I never grind any of my welds. No need too, a nice looking weld adds to the piece on in my opinion.
Wonderful grinding and painting tutorial!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It wasn't a tutorial on welding, in case you didn't know. 🤦
What I do like is how accurate the cutting is with the grinder. No fluctuation of the marked line.
You need glasses
@@PlanX00X you need to see sarcasm. Maybe you need glasses
So let's see: grind away the strength of my poor quality weld and throw some paint on it. Got it 👍
I will still be doing it the boring way thanks!
The grinder covers up bad welds and the paint covers grinding marks
e.g. @3:56 the grinding revealed a complete lack of joining along one of the "welds". "A grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't."
Haters
Interesting aesthetics.
Not one pipe was hurt during the making of this video. Still nice to watch.
Some epic video editing and camera work here. This video must have taken many hours to make.
Love this channel
Very precise with that grinder.
My first job in sales took me to Hobart in London Ontario and when we were done business the guy offered to give me a try at arc welding in their classroom. There I am in my three piece business suit, put down my briefcase, don the visor and pick up a torch to lay a bead. It was wire fed. Later in life I would have liked my own oxy-acetylene setup because for what I wanted to fabricate it is more suitable.
Some serious grinding skills!
Vidonun başında öğrendiklerimden sonra,örnek uzay gemisi bekliyordum.Sadece askı ve raf!.
I don't know the 1st thing about welding yet I enjoyed watching this..
To all the welders here, I've been a welder since '99 and yes, this guy's welding isn't up to standard. However this video is about being creative with steel. These hacks he's showing is for decorational purposes. Such as a frame for a coffee table or a coat hanger. However, when this guy is using those spot-welds to fabricate tools which need to apply a certain amount of force he's a danger to himself.
Thanks you so much for your support knowledge ❤❤❤❤
thanks, you made my day sir
Beautiful work. So many heavy duty guys here don’t realize that something is for decorative purposes not for breaking everything they can...
After commenting and reading the comments which were critical on the strength of the weld after grinding off, I revisited the video and I found that there were sufficient gap in the joints for the tack welds to penetrate to give stronger joints than I thought; even if the joint is ground to the surface. Like me I invite others to relook at the video.
Guys, its the Editing. Im 95% Sure for that wall thickness the welds hold up like they should
0:56 you can see the unwelded line. It's a sham.
Great ideas for coat hangers, 👌
Thank you.
I love when people square cut and surface weld, then grind off all of the reinforcement so it looks machine finished. Then act like that was all acceptable.
Which welding machine do you use in the video?
It's MIG
@@daitedve1984 I don't think that's what he (She? It?) was asking...
It's edited to look that way.
MIG
That's very smart. Thanks for the tips.
The first 'related video' below this one is "Busting Fake Welds" 😂😂😂
I will do whatever I want and nothing and no one can stop me. Not even some clickbait title.
Pleasant to watch esthetically speaking but from a mechanical point of view, there is no way this type of welding allows deep and strong fusion.
...parabéns, seu trabalho é lindo. Formas bem equilibradas, peças com muita presença e atitude, certamente não passam despercebidas. Tenho mais afinidade com madeiras, mas apreciei por demais o seu talento para o metal...me parece tão a vontade dobrando, lixando, soldando, com muita elegância. Fascinante. Grata pelo vídeo.
Thanks for the video man! I appreciate your fabrication skills and ideas.❤
Thumbs down to those that came here just to talk about tack welding and their years of experience. Obviously this is not so much of a "How to Weld video" but rather fabrication ideas.
Some cool project ideas here!
Great job due!
Truly you are the best I have ever seen..I wish to learn
That’s cute, apply the weld in spot welding method then grind it all off.
Spot style mig has little penetration but it looks better on videos, also most arm chair experts struggle to do a continuous mig run. Just sayin!!!
Ok you say this is wrong, as a non weld I would be interested in a video from your not an arm chair expertise on how to do it right, especially the continuous mig welding. Please put up this video then I can show my father in law who is a welding instructor for a technical institution for 30+ years here. He can critique it and me know what he thinks of it.
This sells you tube videos, your father in law welding instructor is happy his motivated son in law creates cool videos. But he will not go for your welding a hitch coupler on a trailer his daughter is riding in.
@@ernestmurphy3898
So true Ernie, I keep forgetting that the millennials know everything.
@@ernestmurphy3898 I don't make videos on welding and am not a welder as stated, but others make claims that those that do have done it wrong and bag them, so if they are the expert and bag others then it's up to them to put up proof they know what they are talking about.
@@richardtemby4358 so who is the Millennial ? You?
Класс!
Перед тем, как сваривать, края металла профильной трубы лучше забить молотком немного внутрь -при зачистке не будет сниматься большая часть сварного шва, так как он будет почти весь внутри.
А так всё класс.
Ну обычно такие изделия делаешь в декоративных целях и нагрузку они не испытывают, а забор можно и не чистить вообще или промышленные конструкции или скрытые
I don't know why I'm watching this 😂 but it's pretty impressive
Clean work nice
When you want something that looks pretty in a short amount of time but don’t care if it breaks…
Or be accurate.
Pretty sure those welds will 100% endure what the pipes itself will. Also the point of this video probably isn't to teach anyone how to weld.
Hey man this was a cool video with some great looking end results
Very nice 😊
Nice,work ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh wow!
I will try it in home.
I❤️❤️❤️this vid.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very good work 👍
Looks visually impressive but I am not sure about the integrity of the welds
Lo que dices es totalmente cierto, pero.
Las soldaduras que viste creo yo son meramente decorativas en ningún momento las mostraron soportando gran cantidad de peso.
Great video...I hope I can have these techniques :-)
I love the beauty of your work, and ignore the naysayers because we all know how to make a deep weld. Everything looks great! Thanks!
If you're going to make those light tack welds, at least run a nice hot bead down the inside corner
This is the basic bro equivalent of makeup/home deco videos.
You can actually see the joint after grinding all those tack welds off it’s cool and all but kinda bad info for anyone watching this new to welding or looking to learn
I've never welded a day in my life and even I know this is nothing but an appalling con artist who knows nothing about fusion
I’m not a welder but is magic going to hold that tack welding together? Or is it video editing that will? I don’t think welding is boring. I don’t even find soldering wires boring. Even aluminum brazing is enjoyable.
Wonderful cutting, grinding and painting tutorial ✌️
NICE EDITING! ❤
Now so it in real time. Oh that would take 20 min per weld.
Fascinating art
Awesome stuff!
He is the real IRON MAN!!!
Love the quality of your videos 😊
Waiting for the pipe welds..
What a great way to not weld.
Looking so nice
I weld pipe all day long..everyday and my breaks off the trigger are shorter than this guy's welding runs.
And it's because of welds like these your patio furniture doesn't last long.
Very nice work and videos
Very accurate cuts and templates.
I’m going to a meeting tomorrow about welding and painting I have 0% experience on this but I learn very fast.
Nice video
Для интерьеров классные изящные решения.
BERNER !!!! 💪💪💪💪💪
That welding is holding together nothing
Nicely work
The fact that in the first minute they, instead of, I don't know, using a rule properly. They instead decided that the best way to measure out the distances correctly was to move the rule to the new marking instead of just marking the it using what's already on the rule baffles me...
Exactly. Absolutely ridiculous.
I liked it, appreciate your skill, good work. thanks for your efforts.
Nicely done
Any chance you can do this same kind of video for 2” circular steel pipe. Lol
Thank you. That was so satisfying to look at your work. I appreciate for the ideas and inspiration.
Good job
What type of welding are you doing? Tig, mig, etc.?
Tack welds with MIG. Do not weld anything this way if you want it to be capable of bearing loads. I guess if you want something decorative there's nothing wrong with it, but I wouldn't trust those welds to hold up a bookshelf.
Dude you’re NICE 👍🏽
What cutting blades are you using?
Здравствуйте спасибо за очень Хорошое умное Видео МНОГО полезного узнал.
Good luck getting those joints to pass any kind of certification!
Nothing he is doing requires a certification. It’s not a structural weld, it’s not a pipe weld that has leak or pressure requirements. It’s far simpler than that. Go back to the welding booth and quit acting like you know about welding code applications, or procedures.
"Grinder and paint makes me the welder ain't!"
-A very wise man
You have no clue how much money you just saved me! Outstanding thank you very much!
Glad we could help!
@@TotallyHandy Keep up the awesome work!
Maestro gracias por compartir saludos
Very good. What pen white is this ? Where buy ?
Nice work
Very beautiful
Never welded in my life but what kind of weld are these?
Very Very Nice
Thanks my friend, I enjoyed it👌
Glad to hear that!
