I watched all four of these videos pertaining to the pickup truck setup for the longest time I have racked my head about using a tub truck bed you're a genius everything you was talking about I'm going to try it thanks for the tech tips
Very well thought out. Goes back to what my grandpa told me " boy, work smarter, not harder". When I was on breaks I would always catch myself looking around and thinking how can I make my situation more efficient, no wasted motions. I wanted everything I did to lead right into the next step. And I tried to set a good example for my coworkers. I've learned a lot from you in just a couple of months since I found your channel. I started out in my career early I guess you could say, my grandpa was iron worker and worked on the Golden Gate bridge. My uncles were pipe fitters, and boilermakers, so arcs and sparks just in my blood. I'd rather smell a 5P or 7018 burning than cornbread, lol. Well that might be stretching it a little bit but, you get it 😃 my uncle that lived across the road from us brought a Lincoln Weld and power 225 with the Briggs engine when I was maybe 8 or 10 years old mom would let me go hang out with him after school, when he was working in his shop beside the barn. Handing him rods tools move stuff ya know and taught me basic safety right off, at about 12yo. He bought me a welding hood so I could watch him actually weld and teach me puddle manipulation so on. Then he started letting me tack things after he and I would set it up and clamp or fixture it. He showed me how to make a rod storage box with an old non-working refrigerator and 60 or 75 watt light bulb and taught me why, (you gotta keep the 7018s and stainless rods dry he told me only take out 10 or less of them at time Georgia gets real humid in the summer. After high school I went to our local Tech School for welding. That's where I really learned some metalurgy and most importantly to me at the time Tig welding, though my uncle was a really good stick welder he never got his hands steady enough he said for heliarc/Tig he passed stick tests on jobs consistently but just not tig. I had a great Tig teacher at tech school, R.I.P. Mr. Hugh Green. I went through apprentiship with Boilermakers Local 454 for 4years I've been a lot places, seen a lot of things but I try to stay humble and watch, listen and learn. Think always give thanks, and praise to our heavenly Father. God bless you Mr. Brister, I look forward to watching many more of your channel.
Your comment on batteries hooked in series is incorrect. I'm sure the welder is 12 volt. Extra batteries would be hooked in parallel to get 12 volt unless your using 6 volt batteries than they would be series to obtain 12 volt
yes, you are correct. realized it after it was posted . the second battery was grounded to the frame at the same location as the original negative cable, and the second batteries positive cable was attached with the original battery positive cable at the same location. THANK YOU NATE!
