*If your time permits, a few questions (and thank you in advance):* @0:45 Beautiful pulse aluminum work, is that robotic? Can you laser aluminum or does it just cut in half lol? @:30 Standoff for laser: They should build those for beginning Tiggers @5:21 Dual 'H' fixture jig? Would make a great coffee table, but what does it do? @5:45 Sadly not the most I've spent on a dirtwater dog at a trade show this year.
That Mittler Bros. Notcher is the shizznick! If you do a lot of work that requires notching, I highly recommend it. Great company and great company service. If you are ever in Wright City Missouri, stop on by and they'll more than likely give you a tour of the place.
Thanks! The other guy came out just fine, which is good because he's my 5 year old son :) Just a little head bump...I wish I had a better story like a bar fight or scuba diving, but it's just another day of living the dad life.
@@TimWeldsi need a good rod ( for a ambench vice and its made of a true mild steel a medium carbon steel) and can be run on ac and a rod that gives streanght under pressure the type of pressure like well pressure aengst the weld like this ➡️ l , arrow direction of presure and the lower case l the pice it goes to the or i simple the pice of the vice that moves
It used to be much bigger. Half was in the Las Vegas Convention center and the other half was in the Sands Convention center. Those were the good old days.
Nice to focus on tools. I only wish I could get out to sema and soak it all in. Its funny: the cars are cool, but its often the peripheral stuff at shows that sticks with me over the years.
15 years ago I was working on starting a company that does exactly like send-cut-send. I had the business proposal made and all. ultimately I could not get the capitol needed to get the engineers and the RIGHT equipment. Now, I want one of them laser welders but at around 35K ... uhh yeah. I'm hoping they make a welder where you can put in what metal you are welding and thickness and it automatically sets the welder for you. I suck at it lol
I haven't been to SEMA, but I've seen a bunch of videos and photos over the years. To me, the vendors are more interesting than most of the vehicles, and I'd like to see you cover the tools. The problem I have with the vehicles is they're just so over the top that 00/44% of them are something you'd never drive as a daily. $50K paint jobs on top of a $30K chassis with a $30K engine and $40K interior just aren't my thing. I much prefer the custom rigs and restorations that are in the price range of your average mortal.
Terrific video. I’ve never seen this side of SEMA before. It’s always cars and trucks. Terrific video. Question, can anyone buy a ticket and go to SEMA ? I’d love to attend it but I’ve always heard it’s by invitation only.
Every year I say I’m going to Fabtech, SEMA and the National Hardware show, but I never do. As I get older, I get lazier. Nice that you went. Any other welder manufacturers there? I didn’t look up the show exhibitors.
Great to hear from you, Mel! I didn’t make it out to Fabtech this year, so I went to SEMA instead. Miller and Lincoln were the only welder manufacturers there. Baileigh, Harbor Freight and a few auto body companies had some machines as well. I only spent one full day at the show…if I make it out again, I’ll probably spend a bit longer and catch some of the weird specialty stuff.
@@TimWeldsI finally got my Siegmund table. I don’t know how you got yours out of the pallet and put the legs on, but boy, it took me some time. I had to put the pallet on my stacker. A real pain. Then getting the kegs on was annoying. For some reason they gave all those holes where the kegs go, but you just use two. But which two? They don’t bother giving a short instruction on that so I had to make a paper template by putting it under the corner and popping the holes out with my finger. Then I could figure it out. I don’t know if you had a problem with that. The other annoying thing is that they charged $933 to ship it. The accessory kit cost $179 to ship. That’s really too much, even though it weighs 485 pounds. But I must say that the table is very well designed and made. The accessories are well made as well.
I thought it was a good change, buuut ... You left me wanting MOOOORE . lol Harbor Freight is looking to put the tool trucks out of business . Their cabinets and tool storage are really the ones to go for now . I've had Snap-On boxes , I still have their tools, actually just about all my tools (before they were made from unobtainmium), but what I store them in is US General . :)
Thank you, don't blame you on the hot dog. Economics kind of works mysteriously, you can make a ton of profit one at a time, or a little profit tons of times. When negotiating price if it doesn't sell ...one hasn't earned a dollar 😕
No, they weren’t there unless I missed them. They had an awesome booth at Fabtech last time I was there and I believe they have been at PRI in the past.
I would subscribe to your channel, but I can’t stand the way you’re dragging your voice like a frog at the end don’t know why everyone seems to think that that makes them sound smarter
Thanks for sharing, Tim! Yes we would absolutely love to see more your videos from the show!
Thanks! I think I'll cover some more things outside of the walls of my little garage shop.

Thanks for covering SEMA 2023. Great to see the new stuff and the welding equipment that caught your eye!
Thanks! I think I'll make a few more of these covering other shows in the future.
I really liked this format, would like more in depth review of some of these tools. Some great ideas.
Thanks! I'm hoping to be able to do some more things like this beyond the limits of my little garage shop.
@@TimWelds Filmmaker's illusion: No one knows it's a little garage shop :-)
Great video! Tim !! Sema is definitely on the bucket list.
Thanks, Alex! It's a neat show show. I used to go with my dad years ago, but I haven't been in about a decade since I was out of the industry.
Tim, sure, happy to see episodes like this in the mix. A welders/fabricators view of these things is always appreciated.
Thanks Tim, i am from Australia & really enjoy your comments.
Nice change of pace for your channel. Well done.
Thanks a ton! It's fun to mix it up a bit.
Love these show walk arounds. Thanks Tim.
Thanks, Craig!

Real nice review I appreciate it. Thank you hopefully one year I’ll be able to go to Sema.
This is awesome, more of this in the future!
Great job and yes, please continue!
Very good video. You’re an excellent presenter. 👍🇺🇸
Definitely informative. I would like to see you put out a few more like this for sure.
Thanks! Will do!
Awesome show, heaps of great tools etc, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Great review! Yes , keep them coming. Thanks!
Loved this episode, wish I was there with a credit card without a limit.
very good video, definitely enjoyed it, would love to see more. Thanks! from London, UK.
Nice review of SEMA. Hey, did you upset someone to get that shiner? The other guy looked twice as bad, right? LOL!
Thanks! The other guy came out just fine, which is good because he's my 5 year old son :) Just a little head bump...I wish I had a better story like a bar fight or scuba diving, but it's just another day of living the dad life.

Fantastic. So much tool and truck lust there. Thanks for sharing with us!
Nice overview of fabrication side of the show.
Thanks!
this was so cool to see this kind of video and thanks for showing the great products
It used to be much bigger. Half was in the Las Vegas Convention center and the other half was in the Sands Convention center. Those were the good old days.
Thanks for sharing. So interesting stuff
THat was great and I would love to see you do that in more depth. Spend a week!
Very cool, Tim. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!

Nice Black Eye.....peace &Love brother.
Wish I had a good story to go with it, just bumped heads with my 5 year old. Fortunately, it didn't even phase him...

Yeah, those lasers are certainly outside of my budget for the moment, but they sure are cool!
I didn’t know about send-cut-send but I have a couple of jobs I could use them for. Really glad I watched this video.
Thanks for an interesting review!
Greate video!! Thanks.
Great video. Keep em coming!!
Thanks a ton!
Great video I would like to see more of the new tools and the only problem is most places around don’t sell these tools
Thanks for the tour de tools! You can never have to many of them - However the shop can be to small!
Looks like a lot of fun
It was a fun time, for sure.

Yeah, more coverage of welding-related products at the show.

Is that a black eye? Great video.
Is there a restriction on entry to SEMA? Tim in northern TN
Hi Tim! It is an industry only trade show, so they limit attendance to buyers and vendors of parts/services along with some relevant media coverage.
There are public displays and events for non-industry people. It is one of the best conventions in Las Vegas.
Was Fronius there?
No, they weren’t there unless I missed them. They had an awesome booth at Fabtech last time I was there and I believe they have been at PRI in the past.
More new tools please
wow what a place of dreams and wants ... but 9 bucks for a hot dog .. who is in lala land with those prices
A bottle the water $ 4.50 USA FJB
First time I heard a guy with a voice frack
what happened to your eye
I would subscribe to your channel, but I can’t stand the way you’re dragging your voice like a frog at the end don’t know why everyone seems to think that that makes them sound smarter
I’m just doing the best I can. Not sure what you’re trying to accomplish with your comment, but I wish you the best.
