My good man, I would like to take a moment to reflect on your total disregard for your own safety whilst using handheld tools, firstly never hold an item that you are about to drill in your hand. secondly use the correct size drill so that you do not have to ream the hole for your next piece in the project to fit, thirdly, ensure that your drill bit is sharp and does the job with ease, fourthly never use a hacksaw blade held in your hand, it actually has a frame to secure it in, fifthly never pull a hobby knife toward yourself when cutting objects you are holding in your other hand, it is a sure way to cut right into your tendons rendering your use of those appenditures useless.
Me too, I can't believe this idiot is using a masonry or metal drill bit to drill a hole in wood, plus the total disregard to personal safety. Instantly disliked the video
This is sooooo great ---- The next time I want to spot weld two stainless steel razor blades together, I'm gonna take a couple of hours out of my day and make one of these!
You really need to get out more. I've wanted a tool to spot weld batteries into projects but haven't wanted to spend the money. This does that for free. Outstanding.
Ah man, the comments on this video literally had me crying with laughing, that's got to be worth the 4 minutes I spent wondering why I clicked on this (2x speed)
Yes, holding a piece of wood in your hand as you are drilling it, is a million dollar idea for the medical industry. The battery in the drill and cutting the top of the battery off with a hacksaw blade, held in your hand is brilliant.

Thanks! By the way, I’ve often wondered how to repair or somehow “fix” my power cords where they connect into my iPad or iPhone. I read constantly using my iPad but after about a month or sometimes sooner, the power cord area that “plugs” into the iPad or iPhone stops working because the cord breaks off and you can see silver wire at the bottom of the plug into the iPad and in a few more days the cord looses its ability to power (juice up the internal battery) of the device. So (1) how can I stop the cord from becoming useless - I hate when that happens and I still have almost 10 feet of cord plugged into my wall and I have to trash it all because I don’t know how to fix it to plug back into the machine like it did when it was new, or (2) is there a way to prevent the cord from bending so much that it ultimately breaks in places just below where it plugs into the machine I’m using? I’ve tried to put tape like electrical tape around it, but it doesn’t take care of the situation for very long. I’ve even taken Small pieces of wood and placed them on both sides of the area where the wire is breaking and it also doesn’t last very long either, so I’m wondering if you have any ideas? I suspect many people get frustrated daily about this. Thanks so much for what you show us and teach, it’s a great deal of fun and gives us great ideas. Cheers. Rob - Rburdsal@verizon.net
Hi Rob! Thank you for your kind words and support! I totally get the frustration with cables breaking so quickly. Here are some tips that might help: You could try reinforcing the cable ends with heat shrink tubing or using cable protectors that limit bending. Sugru or silicone putty can also be molded around weak spots for added durability. For future cables, organizing and using stands can help prevent this from happening. I hope these ideas help, and I’m really glad you’re enjoying the videos! Let me know if any of these solutions work for you. Cheers!

It's an imaginative assemblage of various implements to get to a definite result, it;s an interesting proof of a concept, but what was the power source you held up there for a few seconds? it's obviously got a little bit of power behind it, but is that power unit some discarded unit you are making use of for this Mini-mini-welder?

Ingenious use of easily found materials to create a pretty sophisticated tool. I've just acquired a MIG welding outfit for larger stuff but was wondering if I could spot weld small stuff and indeed this is a nice compliment to my arsenal. Cheers.
Some of the comments here make me really wonder. Do people really think this - mini welder - is made for welding razorblades and the likes together? If one is a homeworker and needs a lot of very small and little welding. It is a good idea to have such thing. Sure it will take time to make one. But isn't it also the fun - I can do it myself instead of buying everything -?

I was quite surprised to find that at the end of this video, you appear to still have ten fingers. I always said, if you're not living on the edge, you're just not living. By the way, how many eyes do you have right now? Just curious.
1) Tell them what they are going to see -- how to make a spot welder 2) Show them -- make the thing 3) Tell them what they saw -- metal spot welded together with the device that was made
Exactly! I don't understand why videos like this never have any narration or even text on the screen to describe what's going on and why. Nope, instead it's just awful music and the assumption that you'll figure it out and don't care about the why. At least give the video a useful and descriptive title, for crying out loud.
Well, the application I had in mind was spot welding together battery cells. Battery cells are connected together using very thin metal, actually thinner than a razor blade. Not sure how it would work on thicker metal
Maybe not. There are several RUclips videos on the internet showing how to install new battery cells into 18 volt NiCad cordless tool battery cases in which one of the steps is using a similar sized tip on a much more expensive tool to essentially arc weld a sensitive component, as well as connector tabs, to battery case ends and the side of one of them. The device he created can, of course, be duplicated much more safely than shown here. The important thing is the idea it self.
Thanks for your concern! Safety is definitely a priority when working with tools. I appreciate the advice and will make sure to prioritize getting the proper tools to ensure my safety while working on my projects.
Actually, folks this is an excellent general use spot welder. Very useful for rebuilding rechargeable battery packs for power tools and such. Individual tabbed cells available online, but need to be welded in a way that doesn't damage them.
Okay, so you made a MacGyver spot welder. It's interesting, but a bit of a kluge. Try to avoid holding small pieces of wood when you are drilling into them - especially if you are drilling into an end, and especially if you are wiggling the drill around to open the hole up a bit. I would also take care on the step where the battery end cap is being removed. Try to securely clamp the saw blade - preferably a blade that is mounted in a saw handle. There are a few improvements that I would recommend: First, instead of wood, use small, thick PVC tubing. It should be easy to interface the copper tubing, and it provides a path for the anode wire. Next, look into simple lug connectors for the wiring into the copper tubing, as well as for holding the battery's anode rod. Third, the power supply connector has a mating receptacle that can be mounted to the welder rod assembly. this removes the need to solder directly to the round connector. One concern is that the soldering practice seen in the video can lead to producing what is referred to as a "cold solder joint" on the connector's round surface. The power plug was designed for use with a receptacle plug. Soldering such a connector can damage it. As it is, that solder joint is a weak link in the overall assembly. Finally, instead of wrapping the cathode wire to object being welded, use an alligator clip, or a grounding lug to complete the circuit. Over a short period of use, the end of the wire will become frayed - requiring it to be regularly stripped and shortened. It takes some technical experience, but it is an easy feat to integrate the cathode wire into the welder handle assembly. When I get some time, and can perceive an application for such a tool, I will craft one up. I heartily recommend that you look into taking some mechanical and electrical engineering courses. There should be several available at any local community college. Also, take better safety precautions - unless you plan on looking for employment as a high school shop class teacher. The previous sentence was a joke.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and for sharing your valuable advice, ideas, and guidance. It was truly a pleasure to hear your perspective, and I appreciate your support!
Joke. The beginning of the century, the teacher explains at length and in detail the structure of a steam locomotive and, pleased with himself, asks: - Who has any questions? One student rises: “I understood everything, Mr. Teacher. I just didn’t understand where the horse was harnessed.” So here too - everything is clear, except why such a low-power power supply.

Great ingenuity....but now that you built a long razor...what do you use it for?
Forse è un po' troppo laborioso, che ne dici?
No, semplicemente non serve a molto per un grande rasoio piuttosto geniale, semplicemente non e molto utile
Hello! Welcome to Inventor BLG channel! This tool can be used to weld any small broken metal object. I used razor blades just to try it out.
Shaving a long beard?
Vedere questo video ed altri video della specie, mi ricorda solo come Fantozzi definì il famoso film @@marionicoletti690
This guy is a medical emergency just waiting to happen.
It's an imaginative assemblage of various implements to get to a definite result, it;s an interesting proof of a concept, but what was the power source you held up there for a few seconds? it's obviously got a little bit of power behind it, but is that power unit some discarded unit you are making use of for this Mini-mini-welder? The photography was fine, but the presentation definitely needed some more instructions and descriptions of things. It could be followed well, but some captions would have been a help.
Now for the educated watcher that was perfectly alright.. And for the uneducated viewer, he should stay clear of potentially dangerous stuff like this. So mission fully accomplished.

Interesting. Don't worry about the unimaginative folks who leave negative comments. Sometimes great ideas have humble beginnings. Keep it up. Thanks.
Thank you so much for your encouraging words! Indeed, every idea starts with a small step, and over time, it can grow into something great. I’ll keep working on and developing my ideas, and having support like this really gives me a strong push forward. Thanks again!
So, guys, don't throw away your old razor blades because you can always weld them together and then you can, err...
Thank you for watching the video and your opinion
😢
… and then you can shave both legs at the same time.
Cut off a Piece of your Ear ?
The best part is when you are shaving with the double length razor blade you can use up your big bandages because your cut will be twice as long !
Que bueno saber ❤

Ingenious use of easily found materials to create a pretty sophisticated tool. I've just acquired a MIG welding outfit for larger stuff but was wondering if I could spot weld small stuff and indeed this is a nice compliment to my arsenal. Cheers.
They used to spot weld many parts onto cars after an accident, now they glue them on
Way To Go!
Some of the comments here make me really wonder.
Do people really think this - mini welder - is made for welding razorblades and the likes together?
If one is a homeworker and needs a lot of very small and little welding.
It is a good idea to have such thing.
Sure it will take time to make one.
But isn't it also the fun - I can do it myself instead of buying everything -?
It was a pleasure to hear your perspective. Thank you!
Exactly, those comments on razor blades missed the point, this is about welding lithium battery terminals using what's available in your home!
Brilliant work.
Now you've made one of those mini spot welders you'll be well equipped to securely attach wires to bits of metal to your heart's content. 👍
Sei un genio...... 👏👏👏👏tani super saluti dall Italia
My goodness, you are absolutel and utterly genius. The tools you have for making gadgets is so impressive. Hands for a vice, hacksaw, thumb pad. God knows what your face looks like after shaving. More scars and craters than what's on the moon. Glad it's not you that made chitty chitty bang bang. I have more faith in the child catcher. ( What a fucking contraption )

And the number of critical, negative comments kind of blows me away. While most sit and stare at their phones all day,wasting hours if not days,this cat is using his brain,demonstrating an interesting activity. The exact application of it escapes me right now but when homeboy makes a million bucks behind his invention, you safety experts will be reading about it. Wearing your safety goggles of course!
Nice video🙂
Thank you! Cheers!
Greetings from Australia -- a little spot welder - you beauty. Suitabl to weld lug battery cells??? Thank you
No, only for razor blades.
What a brilliant way to repurpose used batteries and contribute to a greener future!

By turning waste into something useful, we can all play a part in conserving resources and minimizing our environmental impact. Thank you, Inventor BLG, for sharing this insightful and inspiring content. Let's all strive to adopt a mindset of innovation and sustainability.

AND, it only used 78 carbon footprints.
maybe save $5 - $10 for a Soder tool but the comment entertainment is priceless
😆
Spot welders for battery packs like this one usually cost plus $200. Nice little tool to make your own battery packs for your bicycle from laptop batteries for free instead of paying $650.
Soder (sic). Solder is the word. (The Grammar Police-to serve and correct).
I think you'll find some people in some countries don't have $5 - $10 and it's "their" ingenuity that gets them through life, whereas people in the Western World take everything for granted.. even having $5-$10 in their pocket. Not many people commenting here would be capable of showing same ingenuity myself included. Health and safety on the other hand is a different matter 🙂
Superb! Highly engaging, inventive and exploratory narrative. Great visual story telling, lateral thinking and reveal for what is infinite creative potential. Contrasts hilariously with some spectacularly dull comments from the predictably short circuited proletariat (see below). Great work. From South Wales, UK

I was quite surprised to find that at the end of this video, you appear to still have ten fingers. I always said, if you're not living on the edge, you're just not living. By the way, how many eyes do you have right now? Just curious.
awesome simple DIY ❣
1) Tell them what they are going to see -- how to make a spot welder
2) Show them -- make the thing
3) Tell them what they saw -- metal spot welded together with the device that was made
Thank you so much!
Exactly! I don't understand why videos like this never have any narration or even text on the screen to describe what's going on and why. Nope, instead it's just awful music and the assumption that you'll figure it out and don't care about the why. At least give the video a useful and descriptive title, for crying out loud.
Fenomenal video!👏 Saludos desde España 🇪🇸
Lots of haters here. Granted, usage of some of the tools is not safe, but the outcome is a spot welder for practically no cost. Thanks!
Thank you so much!❤️
.
But only for something as thin as a razor blade?
Well, the application I had in mind was spot welding together battery cells. Battery cells are connected together using very thin metal, actually thinner than a razor blade. Not sure how it would work on thicker metal
Bravo , beau tuto !!

TWOT ...... Total Waste Of Time
Maybe not. There are several RUclips videos on the internet showing how to install new battery cells into 18 volt NiCad cordless tool battery cases in which one of the steps is using a similar sized tip on a much more expensive tool to essentially arc weld a sensitive component, as well as connector tabs, to battery case ends and the side of one of them. The device he created can, of course, be duplicated much more safely than shown here. The important thing is the idea it self.
yes, safety has gone out of the window. I am glad that your fingers are intact holding the wood in one hand and using the drill.
Dude,you need some decent tools to work with before you hurt yourself.
Thanks for your concern! Safety is definitely a priority when working with tools. I appreciate the advice and will make sure to prioritize getting the proper tools to ensure my safety while working on my projects.
Humanly comment and advice, at last. You are a kind person.
Rio grande do sul!! Porto alegre!! Tchê 😊😊
Actually, folks this is an excellent general use spot welder. Very useful for rebuilding rechargeable battery packs for power tools and such. Individual tabbed cells available online, but need to be welded in a way that doesn't damage them.
Okay, so you made a MacGyver spot welder.
It's interesting, but a bit of a kluge.
Try to avoid holding small pieces of wood when you are drilling into them - especially if you are drilling into an end, and especially if you are wiggling the drill around to open the hole up a bit.
I would also take care on the step where the battery end cap is being removed. Try to securely clamp the saw blade - preferably a blade that is mounted in a saw handle.
There are a few improvements that I would recommend:
First, instead of wood, use small, thick PVC tubing. It should be easy to interface the copper tubing, and it provides a path for the anode wire.
Next, look into simple lug connectors for the wiring into the copper tubing, as well as for holding the battery's anode rod.
Third, the power supply connector has a mating receptacle that can be mounted to the welder rod assembly. this removes the need to solder directly to the round connector. One concern is that the soldering practice seen in the video can lead to producing what is referred to as a "cold solder joint" on the connector's round surface. The power plug was designed for use with a receptacle plug. Soldering such a connector can damage it. As it is, that solder joint is a weak link in the overall assembly.
Finally, instead of wrapping the cathode wire to object being welded, use an alligator clip, or a grounding lug to complete the circuit. Over a short period of use, the end of the wire will become frayed - requiring it to be regularly stripped and shortened. It takes some technical experience, but it is an easy feat to integrate the cathode wire into the welder handle assembly.
When I get some time, and can perceive an application for such a tool, I will craft one up.
I heartily recommend that you look into taking some mechanical and electrical engineering courses.
There should be several available at any local community college.
Also, take better safety precautions - unless you plan on looking for employment as a high school shop class teacher.
The previous sentence was a joke.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and for sharing your valuable advice, ideas, and guidance. It was truly a pleasure to hear your perspective, and I appreciate your support!
Why would I spend half a day making a contraption that lets me weld two razor blades together?!?!
Быстродействие, прошу еще раз повторить😂
After watching this video, I am really surprised he doesn't have cuts and gouges in his hands and fingers!
Joke. The beginning of the century, the teacher explains at length and in detail the structure of a steam locomotive and, pleased with himself, asks: - Who has any questions? One student rises: “I understood everything, Mr. Teacher. I just didn’t understand where the horse was harnessed.”
So here too - everything is clear, except why such a low-power power supply.
Yep, a .08 amp capable (max.). Can't believe this would work, plus, I'm sure it would fry the power supply...
Вижу практическое применение такого "сварочника" в замене элементов в аккумуляторах шуруповёртов всяческих...там несколько аккумов между собой последовательно соединяются стальной лентой, которая чуть толще лезвия бритвы - как раз подойдёт
When you absolutely must weld two razor blades together.
but the razors blades were not even.
Picky, picky, picky. Based on the "skills" displayed in this video, I am amazed the "technician" doesn't have more scars. The comments are the best part of this video.@@barryritman5737

6:40 The power supply you're using is 18V @0.8A! That's only 14.4Watts. I am surprised the power supply fuse didn't go.
I like it. This is absurdism at the level of Monty Python. This is high level humor folks. Try to understand that!
