love that you guys showcased real world gaps. love having tight butt welds but sometimes you've gotta pass filler over the grand canyon. fantastic video!!
Holy cr@p that rear driveshaft has some huge angles......you might want to talk to someone about that before your break you transfer case or wreck the driveshaft.
Question. For the purge formula at 2:42 is it diameter or the area of the pipe times the length in the numerator? (Pi*(D^2/4)*L)/CFH gives units of time, but the formula you posted gives units of time per meter. Really appreciate the videos.
The purge was fine, and sure definitely an option. Haha don’t gotta ladder that tall lol. Ideally this would’ve been welded mostly in sections on a positioner in the 2g position
@@AustinHargett lol yeah I didnt mean to weld it like that just get the purge started. Having said that. I guess if you only making one exhaust a year, you aren't going to save much money or time doing it my way.
As an inspector, everything falls to whatever code to be welded to. Im not sure of the standards in this industry, I would assume my skills on this are PAR at best. More time spent on fit up and welding the full exhaust in sections, probably could've improved weld quality and appearance. In this case however the "customer" john was very please and excited to see it put together.
Ngl but the slip on joint weld wasnt that bad. Could be that camera does its weird stuff but normaly just push the filler like crazy and fill that . Not a pressure vessel or anything
nope, i left it because on occasion im a shite fabricator, and to keep the exhasut straight, that gap had to be there, or a new piece needed to be cut.
Nice work. I like how you show all your work, not just the pretty stuff.
Gotta keep it real
Nice work. Welding that big gap in thin pipe can't be easy.
Patients lol 😅

Very nice work!
arc shots are banging (when they are in focus) :)
Duuuude having a hard time with em lol
I put a tip about using foil hvac tape, it helps when it comes to heat and removal is easy.
Currently building a Battleship 😉
Great option for tape. This was laying around in John’s shop 😅
I’m glad that you showed the welds even though they weren’t up to your norm. Shows that you are a mere mortal. lol
Nice. I just got the same welder. Building out an LS Turbo kit with stainless. Let me know if you settled on any other settings for your machine.

Surely that's a mock-up?
That's a lot of yoke showing(although given the angle, maybe they need that much?)
@@stusue9733no weight on the frame.
Nice job 👍🏻
Love the fact that it’s SBC and not a LS 🥱.
Need some driveshaft angle correction though, I’d doubt it will move, they look bound up now.
just a mock up, things will be sured up soon
for the 409 just use 5/32 E6010 smaw at 75amp with heavy preheat on the rod.
That’s the ticket!
look biutifull

Given Argon is heavier than air would standing the pipe vertical and purging from the bottom help?

@@stusue9733lol yeah. I’ve purged a lot of pipe on its side. It’s not thatttt big of a deal as long as you have a continuous flow
@@AustinHargett Perhaps one of us is over thinking things lol
I wonder you being a professional inspector, what point would you give your welding performance in this episode? I enjoyed the info I got.

*9:20** I'm new here... did you leave that huge gap to teach?*

Koliko je debel materijal inox nije sigurno priko 2 mm to se zavaruje na probijanje a ne u pulsnom modu neznaje i amaterizam
1mm or less
