Great setup for a garage - not wanting to tell you what to do, but that shelf right at your eye level would be perfect for a LED light strip and so you wouldn't have to deal with that portable lamp thing...
@@NavySturmGewehr I find being nice polite but not a push over is best. So many times I had great opportunities presented to me for being a well liked person. When you are an ass people tend to overlook you when they have something great to share.
You do realise as soon as any guests visiting him see the fence posts, they will ask him who did the work and you'll end up with a queue a mile long at you garage door.
Yeah like who would want a bunch of eager customers from your neighborhood and social circle, looking for custom work and willing to pay or trade services. Sounds awful, I'd much rather live a life in total solitude and only interact with people online. Oh...wait....
Yeah when my neighbor found out that I’m a contractor he asked whether I can remodel his kitchen, just a quick remodel on a Saturday afternoon. Told him my remodels start at $10k, haven’t heard from him since.
A cousin that had small landscaping business and a dump truck told me about another cousin wanting him to get him a load of topsoil for him. Cousin A told him it would be better for him to just call local place as they lived 40 miles apart. Cousin B just didn’t seem to understand. Cousin A told me it would be cheaper for HIM to call somebody else that was closer rather than drive his dumper 80 miles. Some people just don’t get it.
Dusty; my name is Eric. I am a welder fabricator for a large heavy equipment company here in Saugerties NY. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, you have been teaching me a lot about the welding I thank you for that. Mostly I thank you for sharing good vibes, like helping others in need and just simply spreading love and kindness. The world needs more of you. Thank you.
@@dtiydr Right, but what made that first welding video show up? For me, it was probably based on general tech videos, like maybe the one day builds from Tested. I've never specifically searched for welding.
@@Brew78 Yea the algorithm can connect similar things so other but not fully relative things all in the hope more commercial money get in their pockets.
Great tips... Loved ur ending i just helped 85 yr old man load his car at home depot other day. He looked so tired just getting his purchase to his car. He was so appreciated which made my day. Cool art work
Really good tig welding, I'm a millwright that does alot of stick and mig and my company sent me back to school for tig. I like stainless steel dc tig welding, 316 is nice. Aluminium is tricky, but once you burn through the aluminium oxide it gets good if you find a rhythm. Extremely hard to master, you make it look easy.
The thumbnail for this episode caught my attention. Kudos to you for creative and well filmed episodes. I liked and subscribed to your channel. Absolutely beautiful technique. Dusty, I am floored by your positivity and creativity and Im looking forward to a long and enjoyable relationship with you and your channel. Brad
Brad! Thanks for the kind message! I really appreciate it. Thanks for checking out what I’m doing here on my channel, I’m having a blast with it! :) Cheers to you my friend!
Oh I like that. I’ll remember for sure! I think I’ve actually called them ‘snowplow lines’ before on my channel too😂😂😂 I’m pretty loose here with the theory🍻
This was a dope videos Dusty. It was nice to see how you handle a random job and also see what your process is. You should definitely post more videos of jobs you get, as a beginner this is really cool to see.
Got a friend who has welded for a living for 40 years. Much like you, he is an artist with his work. My brag on him is he can weld ice to butter....How do I break the news to him that he is now #2? Fantastic work, excellent video and I see binge watching all your stuff this week. Thanks for showing you skills!!!
@@ravenbarsrepairs5594 Ah sometimes its good karma if you help a neighbor out for free and usually will come back to you at a later point. Although I agree as this was alot of work. Im sure he was paid for his time
DUDE!!! This is my first time seeing your channel. Fascinating process. I have never seen Tig welding done, and I have never before seen art done that way. The brief views of some of your art in the beginning of the video made me follow and subscribe. You do beautiful work. Incredibly intricate and heavily detailed. I don't know that was even an art medium. I DIG IT!!!
I thought your neighbor was going to bust you for errant radio frequency waves interfering with his tv ,I had this problem till I got my tig setup properly grounded
I just found your channel... When you said you do Tig welding art, then your pieces popped up on the screen, my jaw actually dropped.. duuuuuuuuude.... What a friggen talent you have !! Perfect welds alone are extremely impressive.. But then in the form of art work? INSANE!!
Another killer video! Thanks so much man. I got my RedSeal thanks to your flashcards! I just got a job building stainless and aluminum handrails and fence posts like this. I start tomorrow :) Thanks for the help my humble homie!
im so used to watching carpenters or self taught diy-ers welding that this is a first for me to watch just how much of a beautiful art welding can be with the hands of an expert.
man I watch your channel from the first videos and you are an ARTIST! I am a civil engineer but I make my living by making things out of metals (copper, brass, iron, stainless ... its complicated) . People that do not have any experience with welding cannot even imagine the level of finesse ,knowledge and accuracy is needed in order for someone to achieve perfect weldings like yours (me myself i m not even close to your level). I just wanted to mention this. Thanks for the great videos! Also i train myself in the mirror every day to say ''NO'' in the best possible way to people asking to do a 5 minute job. lolz
I love how your other videos have like 10 or 20k views, and this one blew up to almost half a million. I don't what RUclips is doing to you right now, but I enjoyed watching every second of it! Subscribed!
Glad this video stumbled into my feed. This was beautiful, and just getting to the end of your video here where you say to thank you by doing a random act of kindness. What a great way to end a video. I'm going to use this myself when I make videos
Refreshing to see a younger Person that has an amazing skill, Drive, Dedication and a Great Heart for people. The World needs a couple hundred million more people like you. Thank you for sharing and making this day better.
My neighbors are mostly my relatives so they knew when I got a new welder. They were bringing over jobs to be done before the welder was out of the box!!!!
Beautiful welds... I stumbled on your channel and it's great.. I have a MIG welding and have been kicking around the idea of getting a TIG welder for awhile now..
Hi Dusty! I am Matt! Absolutely excellent video! Will totally send anyone interested to watch! Lots of GOOD info straight forward well explained. Liked and subscribed!
@@PacificArcTigWelding you’re so welcome, I’ve got lots of family on the island. Hope you all are staying safe, much love from Alberta 👍 I’ve been told if I want to learn to weld start with stick it will translate better to other types later, would you recommend the same?
@@TheMasheenist hope you dont mind me jumping in here.... no, if you want to learn to tig weld, then learn to tig. the other p[rocessses aare nothing alike aside from the fact you melt metal. the whole "learn to stick first" thing is usually the old guys wanting you to learn how they learnt and "earn" your way up. its silly and pointless.
@@KevinSchunn You might have a point! The college I went to required stick before tig and I learned some welding on my own first with acetylene, then stick, flux core, and then tig. Learning tig first will teach a person patience and cleanliness and prep. That will translate to the faster processes where it is harder to move at a slow pace to really watch what is going on. After 20 years of welding, I never use stick and hate flux core but must use it sometimes. Tig is my first choice for many jobs, but some are better suited for mig or spoolgun mig. It all depends on what type of work you do and where you do it.
@@KevinSchunn oh for sure I appreciate your knowledge. Let me state I’m not wanting to become a pro welder, I love woodworking and would love to be able to add metal working to my projects or building things around the shop. Being able to weld some basic mild steel or aluminum, do you think TIG is the best for this or would you go with a different setup? Thanks for the replies
same XD. ive been a welder for a fabrication shop here in sweden for almost 3 years. we make everything from fueltanks to steel girders for buildings. but when i started i got asked what i do for a living at a family reunion. i told them i was a welder and emediately got asked to help weld on an A-traktor(basically a car that is rebuilt to only go about 30 kmh and can therefor be legally driven by someone with a moped licence at 15). i was like, ill have to think about it. but internally thinking o god no i have my own projects i really dont want to XD.
I'm glad that I stumbled onto your channel. You do beautiful welds. I can stick two pieces of metal together , but I am no welder. I have been wanting to try to learn how to weld aluminum. It was a pleasure watching .
Man I don't know if everyone here realizes how beautiful those welds are. Big props bro. And so clean not even touched with a wire brush after. And really liking feeding your rod to the music. Like a robot' yesssss bro
Very interesting your comments about welding over the top Dusty. I'm going to try that at work. Also, your foot pedal control is amazing 1 or 2 amps difference over the weld.
I feel ya man, I am a plumber and I get the same jam. When I was an apprentice, my master told me " When you learn a trade, for the rest of your life, people will need you more than you will ever need them." Man has that rung true, life of a tradesman. Good job bud
Had a dream about welding last night, woke up and bought a cheap starter kit. Eastwood AC/DC 200 tig. I've been watching your videos since I placed my order. I feel super confident with the tips you provide. I've never welded before nor know anything about it just diving in head first. Hopefully everything arrives by Sunday and I can get started. Thanks and also new sub.
Ha ha !! Me to I’m retired and live in the country with about 15 distant neighbors but I’m the official welder up and bike and lawnmower repair man ! I now work for fresh fish,wild game, homemade pies ! And everything else that my friends grow or hunt ! Had I known of this blessing I would have never gone to work for money !! God bless America !
Stood in the garage a while back chatting to the neighbour Neighbour: Oh hey, is that a welder Me: No it's uhh a plasma cutter, yeah a plasma cutter, definitely not a welder....
I think your the best welder and artist! Your work is SICK! When I was your age I used a cutting torch on an old chrome wheel to make an "I love you" thing for my GF.
Actually where I live in my city welding is a prohibited home business. Now he might work around this if welding goes into his artwork and only that artwork generated income you can have an art studio. But if welding for a customer or even possibly his online program might run into the issue as that business needs a permit.
Might also get busted for storing pressurized containers improperly, or not having the appropriate fire safety equipment on-hand. Usually it's not the welding they just you for but the details. Also no one, NO ONE wants to get a visit from the fire marshal for law enforcement purposes...
After your first Pass... I nearly fainted. Looks so beautiful bro. I'm a beginner here, but can't wait to keep practicing to make my TIG quality look like that right there!
Like buttah... VERY nice. I hope he was a GENEROUS CUSTOMER! I was once MIG welding on a trailer in front of the shop when a neighbor walked by and saw me. Oops. “I didn’t know you could WELD!” “Well, I’m not too good, but I can stick metal together.” ...and now I wait. YOUR WORK IS AMAZING! Laying dimes. Beautiful work! TRULY ART!
Your video popped up in my recommended list. Your craftsmanship is excellent and your willingness to teach your craft and show your setup earned my Sub. I look forward to learning more. Thanks!
The moment I quoted a charge for a simple job my friends and others just walked away.........in this World there is always someone who think everything is for nothing.
Dont do it! I always put stipulations on people! You don't know my name I charged you a shit load of money You don't know were I live I borrowed your daughter! 🤣 If they still want help after that....👍🏽
Fairplay matey i'm propper old now, and in all my day's I have never seen a more controlled weld in my life,and believe me i've seen a good bit and done a few miles myself. Lucky you.You have found you vocation.

Why was your arc green?
Never mind I know why, I don't know why I didn't think of the fact that the arc is BRIGHT and cameras need tinted lenses too.
Neighbor owes you about 10 barbecues. Or several hundred dollars. This is not “help the neighbor out” gig. This is hardcore charity.
Great setup for a garage - not wanting to tell you what to do, but that shelf right at your eye level would be perfect for a LED light strip and so you wouldn't have to deal with that portable lamp thing...

@@mattymccolgan9453 id say they might be looking for an opportunity to snag something if they start showing up when your not out. such was my luck.

Best compliment ever!😂 I turn 38 next week! So yeah been welding for almost 19 years now.....man time flies...🍻
Not only can you really weld, but you can articulate what your doing and thinking like no one else I have seen. True master.
I don't let anyone know i can weld. Its always a rusted out exhaust or an irreparable rotted out frame lol.
Haha yes. Get that stuff away from me😂😂🙏🙏
@@PacificArcTigWelding what about a classic Mercedes that needs a few patch panels lol.
They only made this color a year and a half
It's more $$$$ in my pocket when people know I weld

I thought you were going to say something about HOA. I'm glad he just wanted some work done.
Right? I taught the same thing. I was hopeful that the neighbor wanted some work. This dude is really happy with what he does.
You do realise as soon as any guests visiting him see the fence posts, they will ask him who did the work and you'll end up with a queue a mile long at you garage door.

Me: No it's uhh a plasma cutter, yeah a plasma cutter, definitely not a welder....
I think your the best welder and artist! Your work is SICK! When I was your age I used a cutting torch on an old chrome wheel to make an "I love you" thing for my GF.
That like having the only truck in your entire family. Everyone’s always as something to move or tow....
I hide my trucks as best as I can lol
See I just start charging. When they say "Well you always help family" my response is "Well family can help me pay for the truck huh?"
You have got to be the best TIG welder I have ever seen!
and THIS just made me rethink my welding lol
Dusty thank you for sharing your works! Your heart is big, your skills are mega amazing.
Omg for a second I thought ( where the hell does this guy live that he can’t even weld at home) wrong kind of busted 😂😂
Same here lol
I thought he'd had the homeowner's association show up, hands-on-hips, to remind him that sub-clause 2.3.11.35 says you can't do fun stuff.
Actually where I live in my city welding is a prohibited home business. Now he might work around this if welding goes into his artwork and only that artwork generated income you can have an art studio. But if welding for a customer or even possibly his online program might run into the issue as that business needs a permit.
Might also get busted for storing pressurized containers improperly, or not having the appropriate fire safety equipment on-hand. Usually it's not the welding they just you for but the details.
Also no one, NO ONE wants to get a visit from the fire marshal for law enforcement purposes...
Same
Dude. WOW. That is some of the CLEANEST Aluminum welding I've seen on YT. Granted I only follow a couple channels, but DAMN!
I know nothing, but damn that looks like a "pretty stack of dimes" as my uncle would say
Always nice to see another left handed welder
After your first Pass... I nearly fainted. Looks so beautiful bro. I'm a beginner here, but can't wait to keep practicing to make my TIG quality look like that right there!
Oh man, you've opened Pandora's box, I see planter boxes in your future!
😂😂😂
It’s always good to have a great welder neighbor.
When someone says “Can you weld?”... always say noooooo
My mouth dropped when I saw that first bead... jeez your welds look amazing...
I thought I could weld, now not so sure. You'd be forgiven for thinking a welding robot did that.
Not surprised you have flatland bikes around. Precision welds and precision riding!
If you want to be “busted” you just need to do some welding with the garage door open. Then they can be nosy much easier haha.
Haha yes good point. Shades will be drawn from now on 😂🍻
Don’t forget a welding blind though. People will look right at the light.
@@txdocprich_8404 definitely!! Wanna show off without showing off lol
Tig welding and breathing in anodized aluminum like that without the garage open or windows does not sound ideal lol
Like buttah... VERY nice. I hope he was a GENEROUS CUSTOMER!
I was once MIG welding on a trailer in front of the shop when a neighbor walked by and saw me. Oops.
“I didn’t know you could WELD!”
“Well, I’m not too good, but I can stick metal together.”
...and now I wait.
YOUR WORK IS AMAZING! Laying dimes. Beautiful work! TRULY ART!
"theyd better invite me over during BBQ season" hahahaahaha
😂🙏
Your video popped up in my recommended list. Your craftsmanship is excellent and your willingness to teach your craft and show your setup earned my Sub. I look forward to learning more. Thanks!
Your nosy neighbours will be on youtube listening to you say what nosy neighbours you have.
😂 Hopefully they’re cool 🍻
Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down?
"A": JEALOUSY!!!
The moment I quoted a charge for a simple job my friends and others just walked away.........in this World there is always someone who think everything is for nothing.
You have to charge what your worth! If everybody could do it, they would do it themselves!
It's nice watching someone do what they love.
You did too good of a job, now you are really in for some schmoozing for random jobs.
Haha I should have done a lazy job and perhaps would have been left alone next time they needed something 😂
@@PacificArcTigWelding have they asked again yet?
The algorithm served up your channel I must say your art's awesome looking
Dont do it! I always put stipulations on people!
You don't know my name
I charged you a shit load of money
You don't know were I live
I borrowed your daughter!
🤣
If they still want help after that....👍🏽
Wow, your welding is out of this world. I need to go practice after watching that.
This is the first upload of yours I've watched. Excellent stuff 😊
Fairplay matey i'm propper old now,
and in all my day's I have never seen a more controlled weld in my life,and believe me i've seen a good
bit and done a few miles myself.
Lucky you.You have found you vocation.
