Thank you so much for using an Arccaptain machine once again! This is a part of our new series, and we hope you enjoy it. We are always striving to create products that better suit our users. If you encounter any issues while using it, please feel free to reach out.
I love sculptures for teaching people to weld! It's so much less stressful to try new things when the stakes are so low. The one project where I learned the most about welding was collaborating with an artist and making a dragon from scrap metal, I got to try dumb things like welding a saw to a chisel and if it looks ugly or falls off, so what?
Those are very pretty aluminium mig welds - and the fillet weld on the 10mm plate looked like one long smooth puddle. Also, that dropped bolt - so very familiar. Well done,. That crane (and it does deserve the name) is great.
Great critique sir. Thanks for introducing us to Rusty Roo and 5his new welder. You are an excellent educator. Wishing you and your family a blessed spring filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather. Peace brother
they did a great job as beginners for sure! good thing that is corrosion resisting steel or it would not be long before it literally falls apart being so thin. not easy to fix, but you are a pro Stephen!
Watching you from Texas here in the states. You always crack me up. I love your wierd sense of humor. And it helps that you are a good welder and half ass machinist. I am trying to come up with a design for a small portable rocket stove that could be used for emergency cooking and perhaps hot water. Any suggestions?
Your powers of observation are spot on😂 I think 8 ft of half inch copper pipe wrapped around the outside of a small stove L type rocket stove would give you the smallest stove with the best output. I think I feel a video coming on.
Besides the tip being too small for 0.045" (1.2mm) wire, the liner was probably a little tight, and the rollers may not have matched either, as the grove is usually particular to the wire size. If you get everything matching, I'd be curious how well it works. Over the long term, I'd hope that a larger diameter wire would function well, but this machine may top out at the 0.040 size. I once had a beast of a welder (350 amp) with an external feeder that we put 1/16 wire on--that would just chew through welds on half inch and three quarter plate.
i was impressed with your video mate i have a Esab 235 i and i am interested in putting a teflon liner in it to weld alloy . After watching this video i have learnt a fair bit . Cheers
Any welder is better than no welder, I like how light and portable the new welders are getting. I still have a few buzz boxes kicking around. There as reliable as the universe and as dense as a black hole.😂
Hi mate, you not using the unimig anymore? I just bought the unimig 200 ac/dc based on your reviews. I’m a beginner Tig welder, I used to do a lot of oxy acetylene welding and the technique is similar, Are you still happy with how the unimig performs ? Great video 😊
You got it with the first review for this. NOW its 10lbs weight according to amazon. Does it feel light? Its duty cycle is 60% but random stability percentages. For example Amico professional arc welder for just arc and lift tig is 17 pounds. 80% duty cycle The Amico is 189$ so is this really worth 599$ for the mig and aluminum(without spool gun)? BTW no real welding experience as I havent even gotten the Amico running yet.
Why would you want to work with aluminum at all?! It's totally inferior to steel in almost every application, breaks, warps, can't withstand stress, totally worthless as a material unless your making airplane parts.
I hear what you're saying, there are lots of things that should never be aluminium and this is probably one of them but due to the light duty nature of the crane it seemed appropriate. Mild steel would have been stronger for sure.

Thanks again! 👍
Great video, clever simple designs. Keep up the great work.
Weld done mate! Nice chick too! Rusty was an awsome piece of art!

Couldn't agree more ☺️
Really good idea with these plastic rollers.
Those are very pretty aluminium mig welds - and the fillet weld on the 10mm plate looked like one long smooth puddle.
Also, that dropped bolt - so very familiar.
Well done,. That crane (and it does deserve the name) is great.

Shoulda TIG'd it mate. Series of spot welds.
Thanks for post, top dollar value.

Great welding Stephen! You are an inspiration! Thanks for the way you weld and share .. It is GREAT! 😊
Thank you❤ you guys are the best
Great to see content again. Thanks
Nice ending with the chicks chirping 👍🐔
Ominous Jaws type music, brilliant.
Nice job with the videos, good information.

Another awesome video, love you're work. And of course the chic had to have the last word 🤣
It's always best to let the chicks have the last day😅
Nice work
Pretty cool welder, not bad 👍
Thanks 👍

No problem 👍 with the welder settings aluminium likes to be in the spray ark side of things as opposed to short circuit MIG.
@@LittleAussieRockets thanks mate
Sounds like rusty needs a couple of strategically placed drain holes and a rotisserie oil bath....
Great build. Nice welder must admit, ive never owned a new welder 😅

@@LittleAussieRockets me too 😆
impeccable intro
Thanks bro

I'm super happy with uni MIG they just stop sending me well as to review
@@LittleAussieRockets phew 😮💨 I was worried for a second 😂thanks for the reply, have a great weekend mate 👍
Why didn't you use a torch?
Just to clarify are you asking why I didn't TIG weld with it?
I ran out of time though if you really want to see it I might be able to do something

You already did the best job for out the gate for this
if only you could select AUD in the site.
In the future that might be an option.
