Working smarter not harder> nice. I had an idea for your stinger holder make it spring loaded with a drag shoe for the uneven surfaces. Your setup works great.
@@allistairc123 It could work if the roller wheel was used to detect the low spots/areas and trigger the welder to only fill the lows. Once all the lows are sufficiently filled and the "funnel" is round enough carry on with adding weld to the entire circumference. All sorts of ways to do the logic and control. If the turntable has a "rapid" feature or simply a way to adjust the speed of rotation then the table could be rotated rapidly past the high spots which would speed up the job considerably. It might also be desirable to have the rotation speed vary as the weld head moves "up" the funnel so that it goes slower as the radius gets larger otherwise the angle of the funnel would change. Basically, maintain a constant surface-feet-per-minute. It is much like 3D printing but with molten metal instead of plastic. Instead of the weld head being positioned in X-Y-Z it could be programmed to position in in R-theta-Z. Cool project.
And another great video! I had a repete job that was similar. If it ever comes back, I will be able to use something sorta like that :) Love your vids! Cant wait to see what you do next! You Rock!
Somehow i dont think there is any chance of losing your job lol. Anyway you made the tool, you clever sod :-D Work smart, not hard. Your back is more important than you think, once damaged you are well and truely knackered. Next you need a machine to stur your tea/coffee :-D
Love your videos, there always awesome and you're Irish accent is very cool. At least I think your Irish. I have Irish blood myself but we have to many generation's in the states that the accent is gone. Keep up the great work. 👍
Supose you could actually motorise it maybe a little arm on table flicks a spring loaded switch each time goes past , im sure you can buy adjusable 12v timer relays, get it to stay on long enough for 3 turns
They may be able to program a welder and computer to make a flawless weld, but it could never access the damage, come up with a plan of attack, and carry out that plan without guys like us! We'll never be out of a job! Thanks for the great videos. Thomas, Mississippi, USA!!!
Robot can do 3d scan and make a map of the wear and then with some simple guidelines the machine could make a plan to first machine it or weld the low spots first and then the rest. Setting would just need to be set one time. Machine could also change the torch tips and wear parts etc. Welcome to the world of cnc
@@jessetermeer2187 There are some places a robot isn't going to be able to access. Haven't you seen some of the contortionist welding jobs he has done?
you dont need high tech to make it automated any more... you could space it out with a wheel and put in a tensioner so its always (x) space from the material, as long as its not a 90 degree change in direction it should follow the profile, assuming it turns flat, it wont help you when the weld goes up and down, but in and out should be easy
Alistair, with that set. up, you can start a Chapter of the 'Sit-in' and Sippin' Welding Club'.......you need a cooler for your beer by the big Yellow column......
That's more like it Alistair save your back and body from the heat and fumes.I do cladding with those fancy hot wire tig machines best thing ever invented for us welders 😄
Alastair Brilliant set up I don’t wish to be rude ,but it can be improved to make it fully automated 1 you could fit a small motor on top of shaft and a limit switch up at the revolution mark and set it to automatically rotate 3 revolutions you can buy those limit switches not expensive If you look up Climax Boretec 306 P Bore welder that’s how they were controlled ,each revolution they stepped back by a pre determined amount 2 Fit a wee bell to let you know each time it completed a revolution If you ever want any help on the welder set up James Hanna down at Kilkeel worked with us here in Australia and is a smart lad I might even make a visit up that way myself if I get there later in 23 If you fully automated your welding it releases you for other work Happy 23
Alistair, still takes a good operator to set up and run, you will never be out of work......well, maybe if you decide to be a male stripper. in a ladies bar...haha, best wishes from Florida, Paul
Great video! Do you run the stainless wire on these for hardness or for a dissimilar sorta deal? guys up our way we’re changing wear parts on a powerscreen pegson crusher and the same part on there machine was chewed up real bad. Machined surface was totally destroyed.. it must be common problem on them?
Its pretty much routine for all crushers to have contact area periodically repaired like this and there are a lot of these pegsons which are high production machine
I always love seeing someone work Smarter and not harder.........great job !!!
Love the simplicity of design. Looks like it was knocked up as an experiment, worked flawlessly so never got altered or remanufactured 👍👍
You're thinking ahead. Making the job easier for future projects. Great job.
You could used a spring mounted up top, and little guide wheel down near the nozzle , and it would weld out of shape bits aswell. Great work 👏
nice thought but you would still be left with an uneven profile at the end.
Working smarter not harder> nice. I had an idea for your stinger holder make it spring loaded with a drag shoe for the uneven surfaces. Your setup works great.
A little roller wheel, thats real good idea! Hmm lol thanks bud
I was thinking the same thing .. just mark the start and stop points of the low spots ..watched the video before I seen the comments ..

Brilliant jig nice work am amazed that air cooled mig torch takes that hammer
Big old tweco its the biggest heaviest torch we have , someone said it was rated for 600A! I could believe it!
My father would say a you're a bloody genius. He grew up on Mark street.
Best wee town
And another great video!
I had a repete job that was similar.
If it ever comes back, I will be able to use something sorta like that :)
Love your vids!
Cant wait to see what you do next!
You Rock!
Looking forward to upcoming vids, company story would be very interesting and love welding and engineering videos, hope youre having a great new year.

Work smarter, not harder!! Very cool!
I used to use a simular sort of set up to weld cast iron flanges to pipes after they had been heat expanded, and pressed onto the pipes
Look like the ancestor of the BOA welding machine. Geat job!!!!
"Sit down and surf the net"
Gold!👍
You’ll never be out of a job. If it breaks down, they’ll pay you 100 times for you to finish the job.
Any more with uncle Drew .could listen to him all day.
Great video
Great content as always, thanks.
Awesome setup - what ever gets the job done!
Looking forward to what you have in store for us all ....
For the out of round you could put a spring on the upper hinge point and a roller down by the gun on a roller that would be adjustable as well
Only problem would be it would still be out of round when done
it wont make tea and bring biscuits ,,, your safe for a while yet.
Ingenious take on a line borer ! Heavy duty , good vid 👍
Yes you have created the premier gravy train similar things but it's all automatic beautiful man
Looking forward to the up coming videos
What a great idea as the gentleman said work smarter not harder great videos as always

Loved the video mate. Incredible work u do. Love to come help any time u need a hand.

@@--_DJ_-- He's probably never picked up a welding lead before! Let robot man do what he does and push his little buttons.
I can already see Luddites gathering outside the works... ;-)
great setup ..saves your hand from getting cramped holding the the torch all day ..
Work smart not hard. Great bit of fabrication 👍

Nice rig...even better for being home made
nice , them big turntables are super handy , even better filling in with subarc :)
Love automating stuff its always fun making something like that when it works
Alistair, with that set. up, you can start a Chapter of the 'Sit-in' and Sippin' Welding Club'.......you need a cooler for your beer by the big Yellow column......
Good stuff as always Allistar
Genius on a large scale.
Great idea so wile you are standing around you can make more videos hahahs great work thanks
Very clever. Love it.
Ingenious! 😀👍
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice work ❤
SUPER!
Very cool! Cheers
Love your videos , have you ever thought about a workshop tour video ?
Yes its on the cards some time
working smart!
Great Vidja as always ❤️🏴☠️🎥💯%😎🚜👌
good job done
also like the vlogs with interesting people
That's awesome
That's more like it Alistair save your back and body from the heat and fumes.I do cladding with those fancy hot wire tig machines best thing ever invented for us welders 😄
nice and simple👍
Ingenious!
It could be a good idea if you invested in some extraction fans to get rid of the weld (etc) fumes ....
I have a wander hose for this that hangs off the weld arm, i forgot to put it on!
An interesting device that young man.

And there endeth the simplicity. It ain’t broke don’t fix it
chears for the arc eye ;) ... nice t see a vid from ya ..... peace
Clever!
Nice one
Good morning!
Fuckin awesome.
Very smart! Do they have robotic arc gougers, too?
Just set the camera up and leave it - then go to work. Something attracts your attention, go film it, then go back to static.
Badass
i will try to help you get over the line al alex from ards stainless
Nothing is impossible if you really want to achieve it.
Double your efficiency, make another arm and use a 2nd welder! 😁
More time for tractors and drink (you know, the truly important work)
Hope you're using Lincore M !.
No napping ,why stainless aren't you supposed to use manganese steel wire?? Manganese is for crushing abrasion..
This is just the part that the seperate manganese liner sits on
How you like that walter ceramic nozzle spray? Ive been thinking about trying it but its $30 a can here in the states.
Good stuff sir, do these pegson cones get worn out from incorrect install of the mantle or is it just the nature of the best with these?
All crushers eventually wear out various contact areas, basically this is standard periodic maintenance and refurbishment

KISS principle
that welder has to be 3 phase.. what amperage the welder running at?
Braw.
Hi
have u tried these new laser welders ?
Do you end up using hard facing for final passes?
No because it is machined d in large borer afterwards, cannot machine hard face wire
and how many flashes did it give you
Lol a few nasty ones in the past!! NEVER AGAIN
Work smart, not hard
Oh ya thumbs up and sub luv ur vids. Thx from Alaska
