Should have done this years ago! Fixing my Millermatic 200 MIG welder and building some heavy steel sawhorses. 3D models. Hopefully they work. www.patreon.co...
For real. I just checked and couldn't see prices for parts on their website but their parts manuals are excellent. Every small component is listed along with it's measurements and part number.
A bear I would rather not poke………..Truer words have never been spoken. I absolutely love this channel. Not only for the content but the dry sense of humor as well. Keep on rocking these videos Wes.
Those first six minutes was like watching an old pimp my ride episode. Good job with the horses and its nice to see you kept your humor in your stickers
Thanks for the tip on stenciling. I'd never considered using the base color to seal with. You might consider adding a layer of spray-on bedliner to the tops. It takes abuse well and things don't slide easily on it.
For the saw horse feet - I like to use a square plate with a nut welded to the center of the topside. When needed, you can thread a bolt in to act as a leveling foot. Not as critical on a saw horse I know, but still useful at times.
Another great video and some mighty fine looking saw horses if I do say so. Least you don't need to turn them out to the pasture daily and they will be easy to find in a snow storm. Thanks for the morning video to help ease a bunch of us into a Sunday morning. Cheers Wes!
I've rarely seen RUclipsrs with CNC Plasma machines nest their parts so well. If you make another pair of saw horses, then you will have a pair of shorts and a pairs of longs! That's an awesome costume btw. Lucky kid.
I think a part of it comes down to the software, from experience I can say that CAM software ranges from terrible and inhumane to simply okay. If it takes you 30 minutes to set up a simple nest of parts that you're only going to cut once then you're likely to take the easier option of running single part programs.
Probably the difference between guys who have their primary experience around fabrication vs. manufacturing. Most fab guys aren't going to be bothered with wasting a couple of bucks of material on a bespoke, one-off, CNC job. The customer gets charged for the whole sheet anyhow. Time is more expensive. In a factory, it's almost the opposite. You get paid what you get paid, but the scrap material gets more expensive every day.
I will be honest, this is why youtube was invented as far as I am concerned. I cannot express how much I enjoyed this end to end as everything you did is either "stuff I do the way I do it" done better OR shit I want to do and how I would do it if I had a plasma table.
Yeah Miller welders are great - the old stuff still works well - and you don't have to replace a "board' when it needs repairing. The new welders are throw away items that don't last like the Miller gear. Great video Wes
I remember watching the video, but you are now a professional TouYube guy? Dude, you are doing awesome. I remember the first video you showed your face! Keep it up, Wes. Sky’s the limit, brother.
You know a man's attached to his welder when he goes out and buys new hand grips for the thing. Once tools earn your trust, you can't help but spoil them a little.
Nicely done, these rapid prototype and production machines are awesome. I’ve had 3D printers both FDM and resin for 3-4 years now. It still amazes me how satisfying it is drawing something up and then being able to have the computer generate code for a machine to bring your creation into the real world. From one Wes to another cheers from Wa State.
Wish I could hit “like” three times! Great project; the masking/base coat paint trick is a game changer; your son’s costume was the icing on the cake! Thanks for making my day Wes.
Wes, I am always thrilled about your attention to detail and the level of quality you achieve with sometimes cobbled together tools. I am super glad you quit doing CNC for "the man" it has been most excellent watching Wes work.
One great thing about the older style transformer welder’s is, as long as the transformer is good, they can usually be repaired fairly easily. The inverter type / boards can be a real challenge to repair, especially DIY.
Wes, Glad you were able to make some better Saw/Load horses (with new shoes of course)! If the High/Low range is what controled the wire feed then I understand but if it doesn’t, how did you fix the wire getting stuck? I think the new hand grips made the welder work better. I’m going out on a limb here, but I’m guessing you had “someone" in the house (that’s even better with Math), check you notebook planning calculations?? BTW, Please tell Mr. Dinasaur he looked Great!! Hope the wife, Kido, and Pup are all doing well and ready for winter.
You're a perfectionist Wes, always an absolute pleasure to watch you work. No matter what you do, it is done perfectly. Thank You for allowing us to see you at work. My fave channel on YT by far.
Mostly (I said mostly) you just remind me of things I learned along the way. But that painting the base color again to keep the bleed from happening is definitely a new piece of information, and is a great way! Those are some great saw horses, I would probably suggest loading them, and putting one cross brace between the legs in the V up about a foot off the ground.. not only make them way stronger, but make a good place to put your foot, and clamps.
Those grips went on super slick. A tip/trick for removing and installing any grips is to stick your blowgun nozzle in the open end and introduce compressed air in there. Off and on like they're greased! . Another great video Wes! Thoroughly enjoyed it as always
Hey Wes 👋, thanks for sharing the video. It was informative, and the sawhorses look great. The claws for your son, just made the costume. Thanks again and have a great day.✌️
👍👍😎👍👍 - With all the YT I watch it still amazes me how often I feel like such an ignorant fool. As I watched these masterpieces being built I thought ..... "Wow, what a cool design. These will even be nestable. But those feet will clash and scratch the paint. Hmmmm" Obviously if you make one slightly longer, all those idiot thoughts are extinguished. Wes, that's why you are the master!
How 'bout a spritz of Tuscan yellow on your forklift counterbalance weight? Consider it a durability test. How long 'til it rubs off? I was hoping for some old school diagonal black (Danger) stripes on the 'horses', because being yellow they look more like barricades than saw horses to me. I'm from the old days when road signs, & even STOP signs, were yellow & black. No "High Visibility" colors available back then. Everything was Yellow, orange, red flags, sometimes those old round "Smudge Pots" would be flaming on the side of the road to warn of danger.
This is scary....half way through your build I thought "I hope he makes one longer than the other so they will stack". I'm beginning to think like Wes!
Yep. And it doesn't sound weird anymore and the color and intensity of the arc is completely different. 👍 WOW Now that is some Tuscan Sun, brother. Won't lose those in a snowstorm. 😂 One heck of job with your stencil. Looks past Pro.
I like how you built your sawhorses. It took me three sets of sawhorses being built to do the non-matched pair. In my case my friends and cohorts borrowed my sawhorses never to be returned, so I had to build another set and added new ideas to the new set.
Hi , can never understand why people weld something that needs to be strong , then grind it off. If weld don't look good it isn't. Weld wire balling up is probably the liner it runs in to gun being worn, used to service these welders in GM factory in UK.
You are inspirational Wes. I love how you just absorb information like the modeling technique. My motto is that if a human made it I can fix it. You help give me faith in that and continue to teach me patience and perseverance. Any task can be handled just not all at once.
I love all of your videos. I’m a mom from NJ and I drive a ‘22 SuperDuty. It’s our dream vehicle!! My husband showed me your channel and I’ve watched every video. I’m not easily offended by phrases like “wife-proof” lol. Because it’s TRUE a lot of times!!
I had a Toronado one time and I needed a twenty foot piece of angle iron and a twenty foot piece of pipe. And when the guy brought the two pieces out they were kinda greasy and he looked at me with a grin on his face asking where I wanted them. I said watch this and I slid them under the car and with some wire i tied them up to the front and rear bumpers of that car. It worked great no fuss no muss. I drove them twenty miles home.
Hahaha always great for a laugh Wes I think you done a cracking job mate and yeah they turned out really nice,hope you didn’t scratch your truck 😉 cheers for the content it’s absolutely brilliant ,always enjoy your videos and the music is spot on hope you guys are all doing fine take care and all the best from here in Scotland 👍👌🔧🔧🔧❤️🐾🐾🦴🦴
After the plug repairs it sounds way better While welding that circle peice bacon pop sound is more crisp on the mic sounds like its working like it should 4:50 @Watch Wes Work
@@WatchWesWork Do you read questions ? Would they be stronger or weight would fail them only by compression on the beam ? I ask because apparently it's not a common feature on sawhorses.
Very good on the sawhorses. I have seen on RUclips sawhorses made with 2 by 4s that held 15,000 lbs. without breaking. 2 sawhorses with bundles of dimension lumber stacked on them with a forklift. I made 4 of them for myself with 2 by 6 tops.
I've had a whole unit of 3/4" plywood on a pair of site built sawhorses. Can't work like that, but it kept the material out of the mud until we could use it.
Those are some real sexy sawhorses, not a sentence I thought I'd ever say out loud. Rustoleum Tuscan Sun is an appropriate match for '80s Yamaha dirt bike yellow, did a frame for my son's PW80 in it years ago, tuck that away for when you need that info never. Cheers!
Fantastic job on the sawhorse build Wes! 😧 Also, nice call on the base coat after taping. I will have to remember that trick so I don't have bleed-through. I hope things are going well for you and your family. The 3D claws look good as well. Take care, be safe and happy wrenching 🔧🔩
Wes I really liked this video I like the fact that you have two nice saw horses and your welder after you fixed it sounds like it is working great!!!Awesome job and I know I did what you do for thirty years on class right trucks that for the great entertainment in my old age!
You had me at heavy duty! Love the build, Great color and stenciling! Stackable? What? not the same size, This is unforgivable! 🤣I don't know man! I'll be back next week. (Ya I use to many exclamation points).
I think they came out pretty nice!
Indeed there are
Not ideal but 7/10
I'de buy a set if I ever need them.
another tip for the stencil work, clear coat after so that there isn't an edge that can cause it to lift off or chip later on.
I would like a set ..and stencil as well
Big thumbs up to Miller for having parts available for their 80's products.
Absolutley. Very rare today
Thats why buy American !
For real. I just checked and couldn't see prices for parts on their website but their parts manuals are excellent. Every small component is listed along with it's measurements and part number.
@@falcordamascus4420precious few American manufacturers do this. :-(
It's why they're the king of the welding world
This is a whole new era of watch Wes work. Between CNC, lasers, and painting I’m taken aback by the many levels of Wes.
This is actually the old level...
you gotta visit the beginnings of Watch Wes Work. This is his bread and butter stuff. if you like this, go and have a look at his earliest videos!
yeah, I really liked when he was repairing printed circuit boards in CNC machines !!@@mazwa2007

Another entertaining video. Especially liked the trigger warning on the “unmatched” pair of saw horses 😅
Your commitment to quality in every project you do is desperately needed in today's less than perfect world...thank you sir!!!
Wes, those are some of the best designed and built horses I've seen in a good while. Congrats. Big difference on the welder also.

Right? Fireball tools is really really good at it as well. Most programs have a 'nesting' feature - or at least the few I've used do.
Yeah, except one pair of sawhorses doesn’t match the other pair. 😂
@@Rein_Ciarfella that's not really a nesting issue... Just a need to build two more so you have two matched sets
I think a part of it comes down to the software, from experience I can say that CAM software ranges from terrible and inhumane to simply okay.

That welder does sound way better though. Now you can hear that good connection. Keep on keepin on eh!!
Welding with a broken welder can be frustrating. Glad you could get the parts to make the repairs. Your saw horses look nice. 😊 thanks for sharing...

😂😅😂😅
They are a set of two, not a matched pair. Nice work, Wes. The repair to the white faced Miller worked great. I love simplicity.
Now if only we could throw parts at ourselves as we get older too.
Someday
Wes, I am always thrilled about your attention to detail and the level of quality you achieve with sometimes cobbled together tools.
I am super glad you quit doing CNC for "the man" it has been most excellent watching Wes work.
Wire binds are probably caused by a worn liner or a liner cut long or short. Nice looking stands.
One great thing about the older style transformer welder’s is, as long as the transformer is good, they can usually be repaired fairly easily. The inverter type / boards can be a real challenge to repair, especially DIY.
The “avoid side load” made my day. Thanks for that one, Wes.
Any working horse needs to be "shod" not "shoed".....sorry, couldn't help myself. Loved the video!

Could have made them stackable _and_ the same length if he had cut the ends of the 2x3 box at a 3/8" angle.... 😜
@jimurrata6785 getting a little nit picky about saw horses
@@matschiller5815 Picky?
Wes was the one who was a little unsure of having them different lengths.
@@jimurrata6785but does it really matter, it's just a saw horse
Wes is THE BEST. Great job as always; so much fun to watch.
You could have made them equal length if you angled the legs slitghly outwards to the sides
7:02 is a perfect slapstick moment. You could not have scripted that better.
My new favorite term is now "fully depreciated" when talking about something that's clapped out.
Hey Wes 👋, thanks for sharing the video. It was informative, and the sawhorses look great. The claws for your son, just made the costume. Thanks again and have a great day.✌️

Hello Wess, really nice job on the saw horses. 👌Take care and stay safe. 👍
Nice work Wes. But You didn’t do it the Winslow way, Saw horse should have 3 legs only. They never wobble.
Thanks for sharing these. Huge fan. Always looking forward to your content
Well, who'd have thunk? I just watched a guy building sawhorses. I actually enjoyed it. Kind of makes me worried. Thanks for the video, anyway.
now wasn't that a lot more fun than working on a powerstroke?😉

Very nice job! If I had a welder, plasma table, patience, and a need for 5 ton saw horses I’d borrow your plans.
Exactly!🤪
THAT'S IT! I'm unsubscribing! Why on earth would you make one larger when it was obvious you should have made one smaller? C'mon man!

oh no welding over the internet. Im blind from the UV. now that's a saw horse. awesome.They are too nice to put stuff on.
This was great! Thanks for the shout-out for us model builders. I’ve been building model Armor (tanks) for over 30 years and I’m 58.😊
Ha! glad you showed the filters i was wondering about those shots. I had mustie1 ringing in my ears saying this is why i use old cameras. lol.
As always,you never disappoint.
Personally loved the Video.
Even helped with the Halloween costume..❤
Stay Blessed my brother.
If you want matched pairs, make 4! You'll always end up in a position of needing more sawhorses anyway!
Splay the end cuts to account for the 1/4" angle and 1/8" gusset material.
They'll stack and be the same length.
Those are some real sexy sawhorses, not a sentence I thought I'd ever say out loud. Rustoleum Tuscan Sun is an appropriate match for '80s Yamaha dirt bike yellow, did a frame for my son's PW80 in it years ago, tuck that away for when you need that info never. Cheers!
Fantastic job on the sawhorse build Wes! 😧 Also, nice call on the base coat after taping. I will have to remember that trick so I don't have bleed-through. I hope things are going well for you and your family. The 3D claws look good as well. Take care, be safe and happy wrenching 🔧🔩
Thank you sir!
My whife has a pair that also isn't perfectly matched. I still love them.
I didn't notice if the longer one had a lower capacity if loaded in the middle. 😃

Mortske would be proud of you Wes
And the P.T.A for those fancy Dino Claws.
Who are you so gently waving at throughout this video? 😂😂
I was an industrial spray painter for a few years anf i gotta say that masking trick is bloody amazing.
3:00 You're not going to clean that washer for a good electrical connection ?
You have mad fabrication skills , when your welds look that good I would never grind them just knock odd the bird poop and paint
The saw horses turned out great! your welds are good......keep up the fine content.....fun to watch....
Different lengths? I am shook. SHOOK, I TELL YOU.
Good job :D
Great video! 3-D printed claws are great!
I respect the fact u wrapped your corners not many can comprehend that concept
I live in a rural area also & am pretty confident they would have been worth 50% more painted green. :)
You forgot the "Avoid this sawhorse if you think you are pregnant or think you are about to become pregnant".
…and “known to the state of california to cause cancer”. Haha
