No stone unturned. Great job. Great vid👍👍
@@MorganClarkeDesign1 sometimes its hard to believe people would have to know so many details for a job like welding. But sometimes we push ourselves to that fabricators bliss, a place that we can be proud of and for a moment content. And it's all worth it in the end when customer after customer jaw's hit the ground in awe. For me at that moment I want share the knowledge to all that thirst for it. You sir convey it all so well. So glad to have discovered your channel. .....
Great episode Morgan, love the real talk. One thing I like to do during prep is drill a 1/8” gas relief hole under the intersecting tube especially when running double passes.
Thanks Morgan This was very helpful. I'd like to be able to see the puddle in real-time on the big gaps. This is one of the very best welding videos I've seen and have seen A LOT of them. Thank you, Thank you
Great vid Morgan. Only thing I’d like to see different is more real time arc shots. I think the one thing I’m lacking is regulating my filler speed and torch speed. Also, how much of that 225A are you using? On something like this I’d set it at 135-145 and pedal from there. 225 to me seems crazy. Can’t wait for part 2 👍🏻
I've building and learning for years, I appreciate your time and willingness to share your thought process. I've been running a Syncrowave 180 air cooled for years and I totally understand it's inconsistencies with welds. I always strive to better myself and little tricks and techniques that people like yourself use, it's helped more than you can imagine. Can't wait to see the finish passes.
Finally! Ive been searching for info like this. Cant wait for part 2 and 3. I'd especially like to see how you weld out of position on the chassis. Just welded up my first chassis and it was not pretty. Im an ok bench welder but welding upside down and overhead i was lost.
Just discovered your channel after seeing your f100 prerunner on autotopia. I dig your down to earth approach on welding and fabricating. This tig video was awesome and a tremendous help for me. Keep up the good work.
Hi Morgan.... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... when you make the Part 2 for this video, don't speed up the welding sequence close-ups!! It is SO helpful for people learning (like me) to see your real cadence on a weld pass... (travel speed, fill rate, etc). I feel like I'm dabbing my filler WAY too slowly and moving too slowly as well... which is overcooking my parts. From what I can tell in this video, you guys really move fast.... (maybe 2-3 dabs per second?) as you do a root pass. My cadence is more like 1 dab per second. These videos are pure gold... thank you so much for paying it forward and helping this community! :)
11:00 I used to have a inverter but about a year ago I got a great deal on a on a big ol' Hobart transformer with a Miller water cooler/torch. My stainless welds got so much better and I couldn't figure out why. For the longest time I always just assumed I could only weld consistently with ac aluminum.
Do you ever drill little breather holes where your tubes land in junctions for argon flow? supposed to keep the end of your weld from cratering, no ones really gave me a straight answer on it and if it really matters with double passes anyways.
Such a sick video! So much information thank you greatly, taking more than I’m leaving! 29:00 confused on where to get a rest that clamps on like yours. Don’t see a HF version in the threader mentioned.
I don’t own a tig machine. I’m just a mig welder on an old rock crawler kind of guy. But I still love watching this to get all of the insights of the mind set of a master fabricator.

Great content. Thank you very much for taking the time as I'm agree time is money. This was insightful and I learned some excellent tips as well as it validated some things I've learned before. Looking forward to Part 2. Thank you. Mike
Thank you so much for taking the time to make a well produced video. I googled maxi flex gloves and there are several to choose from. What glove do you recommend for fabrication and tig welding. Thank you so much. Subscribed.
Thanks for watching & thank you for supporting!! I know they have a yellow or orange color ring at the top of the wrist. I don’t know off hand. We have them auto stocked. It’s been a while since I have paid attention to the specs
Very informative. I believe in the philosophy tig only. Question. After burning out all the roots in one shot, are you waiting any certain amount of time for cooling down before knocking out the cover passes?
It does take a lot of patience to tig weld, my boss's don't understand that🤣 But yeah bro thanks for the helpful video man,I liked when you set up the auto darking lense for us to see you run your root passes, I definitely learned a lot, big fan of the pride that goes into the stuff y'all build💪💯🧑🏭😎 I got a 96 ranger I've been building for a while...y'all have been a big influence on me🍻🤠
Fab diaries are the best! Do you ever work with basic DOM tubing if so do you prep differently and/or does it weld differently from chromoly? I’ve never used chromoly or er80d-2 rod
Was wondering if you ever drill relief holes in the tubes before welding? I was always taught to drill a hole in every tube when tig welding to prevent it from getting pressured and blowing out your weld but you didnt mention that so is that kind of a myth or what?
Awesome video, sharing a lot of good info for us! One question, is there an advantage to using a mitre joint there instead of a bend? Just curious. Love the videos! Keep them coming!
Technically, I “most” circumstances a miter joint will provide a stronger change of direction than a bend. It really depends on each application. The partition in the middle of the miter is what provides the strength. Also, landing other portions of the structure into the miter junction is key & solidifies the strength
At the end of the welds when stopped or holding for post flow it looks like the tungsten is stuck or sitting on the weld. Is this OK because the weld pool has already hardened or solidified? Unlike while performing the weld, where it would be a dipped and contaminated tungsten? Appreciate the videos and practical tips on this topic, thanks
Great eye… let’s lay out what’s happening there. Short answer is yes it’s okay, no it hasn’t been contaminated. Or at least not enough to affect the following weld. The tungsten is soo sharp when the weld arc is done & I rest the tip on the puddle it digs just enough to get kind of “stuck” this is from the weld still be hot enough to enable enough softness for the tungsten to be harder & spear in. You can def risk contamination doing it to early or too close. This is me just being lazy & not holding the tungsten above the puddle to let the post flow do it’s job.
Thanks so much for making this! finally a video on the double pass. Can I ask.. what is a Miter partition? You mention this at 55 minutes in and im googling unsuccessfully.
This is really great. I appreciate you taking the time to create these videos and share your skills with us.
Thank you! Happy to share
But do they work thats the question I've watched most of thd videos then another anti climax another build .
@ do his welds work? Is that what you’re saying?
MC thanks again for all your work and passing it on to us regular guys.
Thank u thank u thank u :) so many good hacks, now if only i could put this on repeat in my head next time im burning to rem them

I didn’t catch that. Yes any welding close ups should be normal speed, Joey….

2 words... RHODE Mic!
Good episode thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We run mics. This one on my neck was getting suffocated when I put my head down. Should of had my apron on to mount it
Heck yes Morgan coming through with that #MCDMonday. 💪🏼✊🏼🖤
👊🏿🖤
I started with an everlast 225 ext and wow now I understand what ur saying with a water cooled machine
Very informative. I believe in the philosophy tig only.
Question.
After burning out all the roots in one shot, are you waiting any certain amount of time for cooling down before knocking out the cover passes?

Thank you 🙏 I’ve been waiting for some one to finally talk about all the dual pass setup !!
No problem!! So many small techniques & tips that don’t get shared or delivered..
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Which wire wheels do you prefer?
Rad episode buddy!! A lot of great info, definitely stoked for episode 2.
Great video, thanks man
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely awesome!! Best content! MCD1 channel plays constantly 📺
Great pictorial Morgan very informative on how the process of tig welding is done. 👍👍👍😎
Fab diaries are the best! Do you ever work with basic DOM tubing if so do you prep differently and/or does it weld differently from chromoly? I’ve never used chromoly or er80d-2 rod
Dom welds kind of similar but it’s definitely a little dirtier and you wont get as good color as chromoly. Prep is pretty standard across all steels
Love the fab diaries bro🤘. What torch are you using? You probably said it must have missed it.
Awesome video dude!
Thank you
Was wondering if you ever drill relief holes in the tubes before welding? I was always taught to drill a hole in every tube when tig welding to prevent it from getting pressured and blowing out your weld but you didnt mention that so is that kind of a myth or what?

ER80S-D2… straight from the welding gospel of Jason Elvis Heard…. I agree Morgan, the ER80 definitely flows better! Great tip and great video…
At the end of the welds when stopped or holding for post flow it looks like the tungsten is stuck or sitting on the weld. Is this OK because the weld pool has already hardened or solidified? Unlike while performing the weld, where it would be a dipped and contaminated tungsten? Appreciate the videos and practical tips on this topic, thanks

Thank you Morgan!!!
👊🏿🖤
One question. Do you slow down a little when you get to a tack and let the metal flow in to the weld. Or do you just burn though it
Very informational. Can you do one of these on tube bending?
Morgan, I am sure you know who Dump is from Race-Dezert and Herbst racing ? Is he still building ? Did you ever work with him ?
I've been hoping for this video.
Well it worked! We have several more parts to this series
Awesome video !
Thanks so much for making this! finally a video on the double pass. Can I ask.. what is a Miter partition? You mention this at 55 minutes in and im googling unsuccessfully.
Putting a plate inside the miter to ensure full penetration and makes it easier to weld
@@landonstowell779 thanks!
Great helpful hints !
Could you do a video on a shop tour?
Appreciate the video and tips!
I appreciate you videos and sharing your knowledge, tips and tricks!! If you could fix your microphone, that would be great!!
Any benefit to pedal pulsing on root and cover pass?
Root you want more consistency with heat index. Cover pass manual pulse gives you
Quite a bit more control.
Nice work
Thank you!
