    Great job, Viny. A fair portion of building your own table/tooling is gaining experience along the way. And your future projects will be considerably more precise and efficient now.
    Fireball goods are not for the hobbyist, they are for the professional who understands the need for precision and quality to make repeatable parts with fewer mistakes. The naysayers are obviously not working in a competitive environment where quick correctness is a must to maximize profit.

    Nice work Viny B. I Think your weld table is awesome. Just an observation not a criticism of you or Fireball Tools is that you both did not test your material before hand to show that it is in spec before you stared the job weld test . I work with RHS a lot and it's not all the same it .varies length to length. end to end and side to side and then on long lengths it can be twisted. The stresses in RHS are huge. If you cut the side out of a piece say 75x75x3mm 300mm long that side you cut out will bow like a banana and the C shape will close up a mil or two. I recently made a table out of 75x50x3mm RHS mitered the corners using my 6" machine square to square and clamp the corner only to find the out side set to 90* only to find the inside angle was out 2mm over 6" because the miter released some stress on the 75mm faces, they bowed out making it hard to square up. If you take some 100x100x3mm and cut a piece 25mm long off the end you will be very lucky if you can find a right angle on it. Jigs are awesome but you have to take in to account all the variables for the level of perfection you are trying to achieve.

    • @VinyB57
      @VinyB57  9 месяцев назад +4

      you,re right Jim! And just the sheer fact that I used 2 different types of tubing and that they have been already welded in some other project...I didn't really give myself a chance! But that's ok, cause I uselly work will used material and wanted to see how bad the part would have been, it was a test to see if how precise I could build a part but also how to work with the table and what methods I should avoid!

    @gabrielhoy6790 9 месяцев назад

    If I may ask, isn't the primary metal used in C-clamps cast iron? I've attempted welding to it with steel and, although it looks good, the iron inevitably snaps off right after the weld (not the weld itself). I'm a little dubious of your homemade clamps @ 4:54 would do little more than snap clean off if you attempted to really wrench down your work (or worse yet, they fail mid-weld from the heat attempting to distort the metal). Please, feel free to comment on my concern.

    • @VinyB57
      @VinyB57  9 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, you re absolutly right. Here I m not wrenching like crazy on this thing. So it hold up, for now! A few years ago, on my Smart Busa project, I wanted to modified some VW spindles. I did a test and was able knock right off the welded piece! So for mild duty, it s fine, but for something like a spindle on a car, I won t recommand it at all!

  • @1one3_Racing

    What I loved best about the Fireball tool video is that whole point of the video is saying "clamping the piece to a steel table won't stop weld distortion"
    Then, in the solution to the problem, they say "if you clamp the piece to our steel table, it won't distort when you weld"

    Perhaps some post-weld heat-treatment might have brought it back into spec? Or heat-straighten it by applying heat in specific spots and then cooling it under stress?
    I don't think the tech drawing was stopping anyone from doing any of that after weld up. It would just cost more to do so, but it could help reduce the distortions.

    What order are you welding the corners in?
    When welding frames I start with all outside corners, then inside.
    Then the sides, but you still want the welds you just put down to be burning hot when you go to weld the other side so you do have to be quick about getting them done and flipped.

Like he said: He doesn't want to be a YT creator, he wants to be a tool designer/inventor. Having to keep up with comments on YT is far from a fun job, so I totally understand why he turned them off.

      @@VinyB57 I'd be happy to mark up the drawing if you promise to read them. The level at which the drawings were made does not suit the level at which the parts were measured. You can't measure to GD&T if you don't use it in the drawing properly. Those drawings would have never been approved to be signed let alone be sent out the door of my current and past employers.

      title of drawing is dumb
      no tolerance table
      no notes or drawing spec or weld spec
      90 deg angle is not well located
      no weld symbol
      frame twist callout isn't clear
      no signatures or names or dates
      a bunch of fields in the title block should be N/A not just blank
      no rev
      BOM probably doesn't need lengths but im not sure about the rules on that stuff, I think it could lead to errors since the actual length of tube is irrelevant so long as the frame fits the criteria
      superfluous dimensions
      Grind on one side could be clearer and the leader is weird
      do not scale drawing but it also gives a tenth scale
      If they use gd&t the frame twist could be captured more simply with a dimension
      degree to two decimal points is absurd
      I don't like that where he wrote 1/16 he didn't add the "
      no item balloons
      proprietary info not filled out
      material
      no finish
      weird coordinate thing in the corner
      stating frame twist can mean many different things, the tubes themselves could be twisted, should have just added a dimension of 2" + - 1/16"
