  • Well I tried Tig Welding a BMX frame🔥🔥but she didn't turn out as I expected...😂A bit off when it came to the "Scale" of it I think... But hey, we had fun right?! Y'all know how much I LOVE BMX, and how much I love Tig Welding, so this one was another one of my favourites hands down. Even though this one was just for fun, I'm amazed at how much of a challenge it was! Tight angles, thin material which overheated like crazy, my torch and filler wire bonking into everything, oh yeah, and trying to FILM THE STUPID THING the whole time as well! Anyways, I hope you enjoy this one, just another example of the Tig Welding fun I like having on my channel!
    Grab a cup of coffee and come hang!
    Here is part 1 • 🔥Tig Welding a COPED T... where I give a demo on Tig Welding coped tubing!

    I love the flatland riding. I found when doing stuff like the crank tube it helps to use a heat sink of some kind, I use a few strips of copper stacked together to keep the tube from warping from heat. or i make an aluminium one on the lathe depending on pipe size, .065 wall SS warps pretty easy

    Great video and very cool to see you are into BMX. Hey I noted you did not back purge the inside of the chromoly tube. Is this something that you might employ if you purchase a bike kit, or possibly not required or depends on the depth of weld root. Thanks and appreciate your content... please keep it coming.

    Hey, just found your site and I've been watching a bunch of your videos, really cool content!! I also live on Vancouver Island and I've been welding for 27 years, I did a lot of Aluminum TIG on the BC Ferries, Fast Cat Ferries back in the day! LOL. Anyways I have an Everlast 325EXT and I prefer using hand Amptrols because I seem to always be TIG welding out of position, I'm not fond of the Everlast hand Amptrol, have you ever run a different controller on your Everlast machine? I've been thinking of buying a CK and rewiring it

  • @johndouglass3691

      When I first started welding all I had was thin metal to practice on. It's not that hard if you get the hang of it. I was doing that with MIG. I'd imagine it's even easier to TIG weld, especially with pulse.
