Thanks for taking the time to show the video, this is a great plow. Don't worry about the welding comments there's tons of positive things in this video, and you put a lot of time and thought. Well done! I learned a few tricks and will use this idea when i build mine.
How did you curve the metal for the plow, I saw in the first video how the tube was bent, but what about the actual blade? And how thick is the blade, 10g, 12g 18g?
I suggest getting automatic welding mask, least then you actually hit in the area where you are trying to get the weld. Other thing is to angle every joint so bead fills the void and grinding it smooth, wont remove that whole weld. My first welds broke like nothing, before i understood what makes a weld to tick. In high tress application i doubt this will last long due sub par welds. Then again benefit of metal work is that you can always attach and remove metal.
Although you made a product that works. You need slow down on your welding and weave more.Your welds will break eventually from the pressure of plowing snow.
chucke2009 here on youtube has some good videos on mig trouble shooting and getting started, need to turn both the wire speed and volts up and slow down, a perfect weld is right on the edge of burn through/undercut but without crossing that line
God this is a good watch so far!!!! This helps alot! Had to keep watching because of the frame! So amazing once that was seen!

Thanks for the appreciation! I'm glad you find this project useful! :)
oh man those welds are really cold. They won't have any penetration, and will most likely break really soon.
Wow the welder looks under powered or somthing isnt right with it.

The actual blade of the plow is about 2 mm thick (=14 gauge =~0.781 inch) and it was curved the same way as the square tubing frame was in Part 1
I would like to get a copy of the dimensions. I can I purchase them?
Самый лучший вариант отвала !
Where did you get your trip springs?
omg....funking welds...:D I have some non-destructive examinations...and this welds....no way.:D
Petr Gajoš I've just started to learn how to weld, so this isn't my best work, but it's holding up very good
Bogdan Cristian o.k....you know that your welds are....arent welds...:) But finaly snow plow is nice;)
Thanks! :)

Can you do a video of the finished thing plz and thanks

I'm still learning how to improve my welding, thanks for the advice!

also you can get auto darkening helmets now fro about 60$ canadian, youll have a free hand and be able to see 10x easier with one
whats the clamp your grinder is in called? for making it a cutoff saw?
It's an angle grinder cut-off stand.
Thanks 👍🏿
What was your cost on this verse buying one? Assuming A person already had the tools to do it?
+Brandon Muller So far it cost me 80 $, a new one is about 400 $
sketchy welds
those welds are way to cold and fast. slow the fuck down and turn up your temp
the welding is making me vomit
a gay welding whit a cored wire …..it looks like it :) but there are companies.
