Let's see what I can think of.... YES! I did spend more time messing with the cameras than the actual welding job. Roughly 75% of this job was spent changing angles and lenses. I didn't charge the customer for it. The actual job takes roughly 10-12 minutes. Why does the weld look dirty? Look carefully at all the sparks and junk flying out of the weld. You can see little smoke trails when I'm welding in different positions. This is indicative of cheap parts. This welded like a cheap part and a lot of junk floated to the top. Why does the weld look grainy? 4043 filler is pretty famous for looking grainy when it gets too hot. I used 1/16" diameter filler which I had to feed and push into the bead. The extra time spent feeding in lots of filler means it got hotter. I should have stepped up to 3/32" filler. In the end, it wont matter if the bead is a little hot. Why use a drill bit and not a ___________? Because I'm lazy and the drill was already there and its the perfect size to keep the sensor bung in alignment. What happened at 7:50? It was a terrible looking arc shot. I left some of it in the video just to show you its pretty bad. Can we get Viper content? Maybe.... What do you want to see? I've had it for 2 years and I can't think of anything to show until I start building it. What happened to the minitruck build? I still have it... Just no time to work on it. I own 3 businesses and they don't run themselves (yet). Side note - I've answered this question several thousand times. I didn't see any prep of the part. I know. Some of it wasn't shot, and the other part was edited out because I can't advertise what I usually use to prep parts with since its really dangerous stuff. Just pretend I used acetone like everyone else. Prep was done. Will there be a Primeweld 325x Review? Yes. I'm working on the video now. It's a great unit, and I recommend it if you don't want to wait for the video. Buy it at Weld Metals Online if you want to support TFS. What else? I'm sure I'm forgetting something.....
Question on welding helmet lenses. I have the blue flame harbor freight auto darkening thing you look through even on the lightest setting it is hard to see through. I am self taught and only have used this with a titanium flux 125. Welding mostly 1/8th wall stuff. Is it what it is at such low amperage or is there better out there?
I love that even though it’s a “lazy Friday” video, the quality of the most important parts (like the welding and explaining) did not lose quality. I also agree with everyone else, it’s nice to see the behind the scenes of a RUclips video. Keep it up!
Love the way this video turned out! Showing not just the stuff you have to do to make a video, but adjusting your settings mid-project (and why,) repostioning to keep the welds in good shape, and how OFTEN you have to stop just to move this or tweak that. A real shop video!
Smh gotta love reading some of these comments telling what you did or should do. Lol. To those ppl. Maybe watch some of his videos. The man knows what he’s doing and you may learn something
Hi, Justin! I very much enjoyed this video. Not only does it have good content in terms of welding and making money at it, it also shows us what it takes behind the camera. Thank you for making this kind of video.
Thanks for the video. I need to open up a metal shop to do these kind of work. I welded cracked dodge engine block over 10 years ago and it’s still running
Thanks Justin. After seeing how much effort it takes to get a good arc shot, I have a much greater appreciation for all the work you put into your videos that have helped me as a hobbyist. This video was great. Friday afternoons...
Thanks, Justin. I always enjoy your videos, regardless of how prepared they might be. I learn so much just from watching you planning the job, prepping the parts, and then the welding.
Good video showing how simple jobs can turn a profit if you are skilled enough to do them well. You make it look easier than it would be for me for sure. End product was perfect.
Love it. Simple no nonsense "get out there, and get stuff done" video. Making a YT video, and fixing a part in less than an hour. I think you more than earned that beer.
Would be cool if you could do one of these welds where you voice or just show what your foot is doing in the pedal as you weld. Just so we can get a feel for how much adjusting of the power is needed as the metals heat up. Food for thought.
Happy Friday Justin! I tend to like the no-frills low budget/effort videos as they just seem more real to me versus something that has been extensively produced, edited and polished. Thank you for putting the "real" back into reality. And thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks for not only showing us a quick welding job, but the equipment and cost to putting on a RUclips video. Love your videos keep up the good work! This beer is too you!
I LOVE these down and dirty quick videos like this!! I'm still a bit mad that now I have extra money for the classes, I don't have the extra for hotel and my sister just moved out of Las Vegas months ago!!
hi thks for sharing your vids...quick question> vise repair wilton cast...Aluminum bronze or silicon Bronze..Nic 55 it has open cracks as well as spider cracks...thks cheers
I kinda liked the "lazy" production. Kinda felt like I was there on the job sight and I was taking in every little thing you did to maybe improve my own work
I can see your arc better than I can see my own when I'm welding. 😅 EDIT: Also, I don't mind the production at all. It's just good to see some content. 👍
Hi, avoiding the "excessive" editing actually delivers a better training video experience, also a bit of an insight into how much effort there is to making video clips before the editing process even starts. I have a question as a beginner (i use lift TIG) does your high frequency start operate off the foot pedal? I could not see a start switch on the torch. bye
how much did you have to pay upfront for shop space, tools and everything like that? looks like you have a lot of tools here that is going to be worth a lot of money.
Some may think a lazy video but i have to agree with you a little behind the scenes people do not understand how much longer a simple job can take while trying trying record the process not to mention tring to make sure everything is visible! It's beer time
Hey man, I'd love a video from you covering on eye protection, best helmets, settings, additional attachments and accessories (UV glasses, hoods to stop UV leaking around helmet). Is it possible to weld and also protect your eyes 100%? I've been apart of some welding group discussions recently where I see individuals still getting eye damage wearing the correct helmets and only having a short career in welding. I'm just starting off in my welding career/hobby and want to best protect my eyes.
Will you do a "repair" after someone used that Alumaweld stuff to attach a part similar to the one on this vid, where you weld over the joint? I just want to see what happens.
I really enjoyed the no BS, this is what it takes to make a QUICK video!

White vipers are definitely a vibe

Do you plan on doing a review of the PrimeWeld 325?
Literally anything with the Viper
What types of business do you have a side from the welding
I love that even though it’s a “lazy Friday” video, the quality of the most important parts (like the welding and explaining) did not lose quality. I also agree with everyone else, it’s nice to see the behind the scenes of a RUclips video. Keep it up!
Thanks for your Rawness,,, Remindes me of the time when It was just you and me in the shop.
No cameras just having fun...
I love this "lazy" style of video, feel like it brings us into the shop with you, the conversation style commentary
Short, long, edited, not edited... your videos are always worth watching!
I liked this better. reminds me of the original videos when I first started watching.
Love the way this video turned out! Showing not just the stuff you have to do to make a video, but adjusting your settings mid-project (and why,) repostioning to keep the welds in good shape, and how OFTEN you have to stop just to move this or tweak that. A real shop video!
Good job son. Attending your school is on my retirement, less than 1 yr, bucket list. Great presentation skills, Thank You.
Smh gotta love reading some of these comments telling what you did or should do. Lol. To those ppl. Maybe watch some of his videos. The man knows what he’s doing and you may learn something
Keeping it real. Love it. Thanks Justin.
i love this type of video honestly it feels more like im watching my buddy weld and i kinda love it
Hi, Justin! I very much enjoyed this video. Not only does it have good content in terms of welding and making money at it, it also shows us what it takes behind the camera. Thank you for making this kind of video.
Raw and pure. True reality.
Dude, I appreciate the real life layout‼️🤓💙
I enjoy the realtime vid! Low quality is the new high quality!
its thursday and im havin one
Happy days Justin, love the format, hope you had a beautiful weekend brother
Cool video Justin, simple, basic, and still educating.
It was pretty neat to see what the torch is doing and filler…it was almost slo motion! Pretty good
$100/hr welding service. YT video..priceless, thanks for the education.
Thanks for the video. I need to open up a metal shop to do these kind of work. I welded cracked dodge engine block over 10 years ago and it’s still running
Thanks Justin. After seeing how much effort it takes to get a good arc shot, I have a much greater appreciation for all the work you put into your videos that have helped me as a hobbyist. This video was great. Friday afternoons...
You said that it's a crappy production job but I don't see anything wrong with it. It's real life. Keep them coming.
You’re so real!! Like the improvisation! It’s why I follow you! Keep it up!
Thanks, Justin. I always enjoy your videos, regardless of how prepared they might be. I learn so much just from watching you planning the job, prepping the parts, and then the welding.
This should be a more common format. Straight to the point, no fluff. Cheers! 🍻
Thanks Justin
Good video showing how simple jobs can turn a profit if you are skilled enough to do them well. You make it look easier than it would be for me for sure. End product was perfect.
Late on a Friday....well thanks for taking the time to share that!
Loving the 'lazy Friday' vibe 😆
Love it. Simple no nonsense "get out there, and get stuff done" video. Making a YT video, and fixing a part in less than an hour. I think you more than earned that beer.
Miss the videos. Thanks for this one!
I agree with everyone. It is really cool to see what goes on to make the video!👍👍
I did enjoy the episode. Thanks.
I really enjoy your content. Thank you.
Awesome. Don't comment unless its far worth it. May have been messy but it was "real". Thanks for the fun.
Would be cool if you could do one of these welds where you voice or just show what your foot is doing in the pedal as you weld. Just so we can get a feel for how much adjusting of the power is needed as the metals heat up. Food for thought.
I loved this Ad Hoc video...great job!
Keep being awesome
Simple is good, thank you😀🇺🇸
Happy Friday Justin! I tend to like the no-frills low budget/effort videos as they just seem more real to me versus something that has been extensively produced, edited and polished. Thank you for putting the "real" back into reality. And thanks for sharing with us.
Any video is a great video thank you for sharing.
makes those who dont know appreciate what goes into making a simple video , thanks for mentioning the price of the job too.
Raw video, I liked it
True RUclips loves Bud Light 🤣🤣🤙‼️. But honestly learning a lot just from your videos 🤙!
Beautiful.
These quick little fun videos are probably my favorite next to the in-depth educational ones
Thanks for not only showing us a quick welding job, but the equipment and cost to putting on a RUclips video. Love your videos keep up the good work! This beer is too you!
Bro! Best video.
Keep them coming like that!!!
Can't wait to meet you someday!
Great watching doing a live job 👍🏽
I liked lazy Friday. I enjoy the more realistic approach versus a perfectly edited video. I don't come to RUclips for TV production.
you placed your lens facing up ,then carried on , my lens would have been trashed. good vid . ill keep watching and sharing
For the quick videos like this I like them raw.
Nice video
nice work!
Badass viper Justin
I LOVE these down and dirty quick videos like this!! I'm still a bit mad that now I have extra money for the classes, I don't have the extra for hotel and my sister just moved out of Las Vegas months ago!!
Awesome content as always
Buenas tardes ...excelente video ...tengo tantas preguntas para hacer... saludos desde Argentina...
Happy Friday,man that's cool, cheers.
This was a great straight up video. 👍
Haven't seen one of your videos in a min.Another great video you make it look simple👍
I love this video.
hi thks for sharing your vids...quick question> vise repair wilton cast...Aluminum bronze or silicon Bronze..Nic 55 it has open cracks as well as spider cracks...thks cheers
You do great work! Please keep it up!
I didn't mind this style at all, especially since you still had good shots of what you were doing.
This was a great video. One of your best arc shots too.
So salty somebody might think you served 😂.
Vic Tacita
I kinda liked the "lazy" production. Kinda felt like I was there on the job sight and I was taking in every little thing you did to maybe improve my own work
yea, please more Honda Content!!!
Good video 😊
I can see your arc better than I can see my own when I'm welding. 😅
EDIT: Also, I don't mind the production at all. It's just good to see some content. 👍

Got me thinking of 'Drunken Master'. Love it.
I love it! Keeping it real
hope you're doing alright Justin, you seem like the previous weeks have been stressful. Don't overwork yourself, burnouts aren't great
Cool vid, can you make more please. Thank you
You make it look easy. :)
I loved this video! Most interesting, very jealous of that camera, what a pain it must be to make these videos. Love that welding table and that car!
We need to make this the most popular video he has
I like the "real" video no editing.
how much did you have to pay upfront for shop space, tools and everything like that? looks like you have a lot of tools here that is going to be worth a lot of money.
You could of had a beer off camera! I would have.
I have the same pink Defiant Metal gloves, but mine are a medium size.
Sometimes quick and dirty makes a great video no complaints here my friend!
Do you have any classes on the business side of starting metal fabrication business?
Thanks for the torch, how do you like the 325xi?
Some may think a lazy video but i have to agree with you a little behind the scenes people do not understand how much longer a simple job can take while trying trying record the process not to mention tring to make sure everything is visible! It's beer time
How do you like the new Primeweld TIG? I don't think I've seen you do a video on it.
Question? Would acetone have been necessary to clean and prep or not really in this case?
I enjoyed the fun lazy editing. Whats quick and easy for you to make the radness happen, is still dope to watch dude.
I'm new to wielding. Clamping works on painted metal? I was thinking I would have to grind off another for the ground.
You deserve that beer. 🙂
Hope you got your beer afterwards
What tables are those?
Hey man, I'd love a video from you covering on eye protection, best helmets, settings, additional attachments and accessories (UV glasses, hoods to stop UV leaking around helmet). Is it possible to weld and also protect your eyes 100%?

your absolutely amazing
rounding the tungsten tip for aluminum still a thing?
As a content creator, this video was cathartic as fk. 😂
