@5:45 I see that you "earth" your tungsten against the workpiece ... I have noticed this before with my welding too. As if the arc doesn't want to start. I can not remember that my teacher ever told me why this happens. What would the reason be that it sometimes need to be "earthed"? Thanks in advance.
the video quality of your tennis ball tube is amazing .
At that first corner joint tack I was like "oh shit, 6061 missed the base plate" and then I remembered "6061 never misses"
Your weld beads remind me of my fathers. In the 1970’s he welded huge compression wheels some of them up to 15 feet in diameter. These looked like turbocharger fans and were made of plate material, Chromoly, stainless and aluminum, the fins being stamped. They were preheated @ 500^F in ovens with small doors to access welding and grinding, for as long as a year until one man would complete. In the 50’s while still in high school, he opened a shop resurfacing plowshares, eventually with dealers across three states. He also welded many racehorse sulkies with egg shaped tubing. Before he passed, I ask him how many times he would have put a weld bead around the earth, he said “I would be afraid to guess.”
Thanks for that. It amazes me how long some things take to produce. The wheels for trains were friction welded then sat outside to naturally age and stress relieve for something like 10 years I heard. Just amazing. Big respect to your father sir.
Aaron you are the man. I bought my "Tig Button" couple years I absolutely love it! Dave nailed it. I greatly appreciate you both.
During the day, all the cacti scatter.
It is necessary to dig at night.)
Phenomenal welding and craftsmanship. Had me guessing what it was every step of the way. I must say. That is the most work I've seen into a flower pot
Can you do a video of how to fully construct and tig welding an entire full size house next? Thanks!
love the sound of that blaster
Can't see how welds could look any better than this. Really great.
Your arc shots are getting to be some of the best on the web ,,, you and Jody certainly provide some clear and quality shots.
Great and professional work,thank you for teaching!!
Beautiful work!!! Back in the eighties I welded for a military contractor. All types- mig, tig, stick. All the metals --- aluminum, stainless, mild steel and titanium in a chamber. Had to retest all every six months. Wasn't really production type work. Mostly refit or design and fabrication of whatever. Really enjoyed that job.
that would be the type of fab many dream about doing nowadays wouldve been awesome.
Yup this is a goal for a lot of welder and boilermaker , as a boilermaker im doing my best to be the n1 in term of quality to Access that kind of job . Im still young (23) so i got the Time
Great to see you working with soldering again.
A full bead in real speed? Yessss
Wait, multiple full beads in real speed? AND A CLOSE UP?! I'm dreaming!
That was a pretty amazing arc shot you got. Thanks for that.
Do not excuse for nothing, do what you do!! You’re doing it well!!! And as a side note, I would like to see some more complex projects, something I can learn off . Please accept my best wishes from Transylvania. Good luck!!!
I built a similar one out of 3mm Alu Duet scrap for a plant. Looks great. Love your videos, keep it up! All the best to you
Good to see one of your old style videos back making cool random stuff
Wonderful video. Just so happens I’ll be welding some .250” plate for an oil pan this week! As always, love the content!
Gloves for welding and gardening, beautiful 😊
Beautiful!
I just love watching you lay down such good welds.... With practice I hope to be this good one day
I work in the tech industry and people always say to me oh that must be skilled but when i see this, this is the work i find super impressive. Amazing skill.
Felicitaciones por tus videos.👍
Bro that is dope!! Good stuff 👍👍
Outstanding videography very detailed. I enjoyed watching the artist at work....well done!
I LOVE BONSAI!!!
Your Pal, Gary
Beutiful Welds !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, that was a journey...didn't see that ending coming 😎😎👍👍
Can you show the HF points adjusting?
I did that once, and I think people would find that very interesting.
Would be interesting, I’ve felt like my dynasty 210 has been a little off at times, maybe this could be it…
isnt it as simple as cleaning points on an old distributor? Open up the case, clean them with some 600 sandpaper or finer, then use a feeler gage and set it right?
@@motoweenies4431 yup
Funny you bring that up! I’ve had a Lincoln square wave 175 for years, and I thought I was hearing a gas leak inside the case. I removed the cover and discovered those points were the source of the sound I was hearing! I had no idea what they were, but knew they were adjustable by the set screws! I’d love to see a vid on adjusting those also!
7:45 what a beautiful weld 🤩
Fantastic bro..... you're a true artist. :)
Very nice planter for a very prickly plant! Bet your glad you have other pairs of gloves cause those ones are now done for!
Respect!
Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado , una maceta magnífica , los cordones de soldadura impecables , gracias por compartir tanta creatividad y conocimientos , un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón , Galicia ( España) 🤓 😜
Con corriente alterna estará soldando amigo.
WAB welding! Congrat!!
Gotta love the membership 😘
โคตรสวยอ่ะ ฝีมือดีจัดๆ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Always nice work! draft taper kinda like a bowl would be nice(my thought). You make me want to weld for no reason at all!

I still need a christmas present for my girlfriend and she loves plants. And I need to practice some aluminum welding. I guess I'm going to make her one of these :D
Красота😊
your welds are probably the best over seen over the years of watching yt and i might not be a welds but i can recognize quality and good looking work without doing it so year no excuse needed f absolutely the nicest work I've seen.god bless
Nice!
the weld beads look like a machine has done them fair play exceptional welding what are the blocks you rest on made of ali?
I need to know how to weld aluminum like that
Great welding as usual. But i must have missed the video explaining you working out of a tractor trailer 🤔
My new 280DX does that sometimes. HF points you say?
Happy Christmas Charlie Brown..
Cool!
You are almost there. Just a little more practice.
Desert bonsai. I was serioudly asking myself what is a desert bonsai tree. Its a cactus. Nice welding job
El macetero atómico pero....el más caro de mi vida!!!!!!!
Awesome job!!! I have about a dozen cactus's that I have had for years. Some of them over 20 years...
Dynasty welding machine can adjust the frequency of Zhou waves, right? This welding machine is the best for welding aluminum.
😍...grate 👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Awsome 💪💪💪💪👌👌👌
Niiice. Now you need more, perhaps a sequoia bonsai next time.
Can you make a video of your welder and settings you use most often?
It's all explained in detail on the website.

Thats a good bandsaw. I would never attempt to do that with my POS. :)
Do you weld your welds with pulse function?
Weld hexagons in your hexagon jig so the point is as straight up as you can get and hope to keep some of the argon on the weld.
Note, your hexagon jig should have like a half inch gap between its plates so that you can flip it over and have your weld pieces show their belly.
Is this the first mobile semi truck welding lab video?
Actually aluminum corrodes quite quickly in constant contact with wet soil.
Are you left or right handed? I might try pulling the torch with my left hand and feeding with right.
When you're welding it out there are tiny little granules that accumulate on the surface - are those little particles of aluminum that are spit out of the puddle?
Just impurities from the cleaning action not enough or filler wire is contaminated. Good question
I saw that too, my guess is that it's the oxidation layer that is flaking away.
Good question! I never paid attention to that before, but you've got me curious too. In the really close shots (thank you 6061!) you can see occasional little sparkles or particles that appear to be emitted from the weld as he goes along.
I think that's just dust, the light makes it stand out. there shouldn't be any noticeable particles coming off of a tig weld
Can you guys make a g body radiator core support aluminum for a cutlass
Trabajas en el remolque de un camión?
Oh if only I had an ac/dc TIG to play with, apparently "Santa" can't afford one yet again this Christmas.
Hey A, nice arc shots. I like the camera excuse! Might use that (better buy a camera first!)
How much is the frequency?
It would be cool to have an update on how the cactus is doing in a few weeks
I hope it didn't die...
i give it a month
While I was taking my classes we always had a sharp tungsten that was used solely for aluminum, and it has always worked great but I'm noticing that your tungsten is pretty round. Is there a reason for that? Genuine question.
Yes, I explain it in detail at www.6061.com
I want to learn how to do this so bad i cant stand myself!!!
What are your amps for aluminum this thick I was trying to weld some thicker aluminum the other day and had 130 amps yet could barley get a puddle to form
For 1/4" aluminum you might need up to ~250 amps (=0.250"). 130 isn't going to cut it. You might be able to get a little farther by preheating your pieces but it's going to be an uphill battle.
Ok,So, I did exactly like he did. Odd how we have different results.
👏👏👏👏👍
A couple of these caped and hanging from that semi truck mirror.
caped ??? how YOUNG are you. this comment was the OPPOSITE of intelligent.
👍👍
I did this for a ficus and it REALLY struggled. Someone told me it was because the aluminum was leeching into the soil?? IDK. I think after seeing this, I’m gonna try it again
Maybe do a side by side test with two similar plants and let us know how it goes? One in a clay pot, one aluminum. Try to keep all other variables as close as possible. Watering, pot size, sunlight, etc.
just ordered that TIG finger. now I can dunk like Michael Jordan, right?
Ordered this on your website and it doesn’t even look like on video it’s actually 1/8 and the material was very dirty 😢
Hi,
It's not my website, it's a friends. Please email him through his website.
You would be the guy who could repair my scooter seat and make it functional again. I have a sit stand scooter that I cannot use the seat because it was broken when I bought it and the company no longer sells the seats or the scooter. It's a bolt welded to the aluminum seat frame that is broken off where the seat folds and closes for standing and opens for sitting. The seat was allegedly designed to hold up to 250 lbs. It's possible but the welds were poorly done. I'm in Southern California. Is there anyway you can repair it for me or guide me to someone who can help me out. It's not a big job at all I just want it done right so that I can use my scooter to run/ride with my dogs again.

Hey! I tried going to your website and it looks like the hackers got it. I will try again every so often.
Hi Shane,
The website seems to be working just fine. What happened when you went to the website?
unlucky cactus 😄😄
Oh man ...
