    1:00 3rd arm to put down pressure on wobbly parts
    1:18 You can squeeze a part while a tack weld is cooling to tighten up the fit
    1:26 "Tack and smack"- If you tack weld a corner and there's a gap, you can smack it with a hammer to close the gap
    1:38 Try to make your tack welds strong, but not too big. If they are too big, then you can't smoothly weld over them.
    1:48 TIG finger XL fiberglass heat pad for handling hot parts. Get the XL one: amzn.to/3V4nzcH
    2:45 Tungsten makes a great scribe
    2:59 Small "center drill bits" first for accurate hole location. Big drill bits will chatter and walk around a bit.
    3:20 On each weld, I try to position it the same as all the others to help increase consistency.
    4:37 If you are welding up a sealed part, you should put a vent hole in it first for the air to escape while welding.
    4:52 Quick way to find center-line, just get the sharpie close and run it from both sides, then split the difference
    4:59 Use a scribe first instead of a center punch for increased accuracy.
    5:47 Using a floating vise on the table, hand starting the center drill bit to make sure it's in the divot
    6:25 Painter's tape to minimize scratches
    6:33 A better way to keep the tap perpendicular to the surface is a "tapping arm" amzn.to/4c2kocq
    6:39 6-flute countersinks don't chatter like 3 or 5 flutes, try them out.
    7:00 DON'T use aluminum NPT plugs in aluminum parts where you'll need to unscrew them at any time. Aluminum on aluminum threads gall up and strip out really easily. Use stainless plugs instead.

      By reading the comments, @aerogfs seems to be the only other person that got the gest of the dice, why it doesn't have any other numbers......
      6 -- 0 -- 6 -- 1
      That is such a brilliant easter egg!!!!!

    I think you have the count wrong. There should be 12 welded lines on each die. So that would make 24.
