This takes me back, did this for a long long time, we always used to solder not weld but it seems to make just as good a job of it. Nice work. You may find that stopping at a corner point means you get a better finish on end product.
Pretty nice. I'm curious about the little brake setup you're using to bend the wrappers. Is that just a machinist vise that you made dies for?
Kren pak hebat👍👍👍
A lot of work 😱 great job ! 👍🏻
Beautiful moldings
Great work. You make it look easier than it is. Great video.
Scott O'Hare Thank you it’s a lot of fun making them.
The word "Talent" comes to mind.
This is so cool!
david martinez thanks appreciate that. A lot of people have questions about those channel letters. I'm thinking about putting a more detailed video out.
Are you using a drag tip in your plasma cutter? I want to order one from ebay but i just want to make sure there is drag tips for this machine.
What settings do you use on the soldering iron to weld really small things without burning true?
Nice job
tks for sharing the nice video.
and nice work
Very helpful Video thanks for sharing, are you using a drag tip? I just order that machine but couldn’t find any drag tips for it, ill appreciate any info you can provide.
CORONA ISMAEL Are use a meg welder with .023 wire. Here’s a link to where I bought my welder. www.eastwood.com/mig-welder-110vac-135a-output.html
very nice..can i ask what kind of welding you have
Great job, what is the name of the angle bending machine you used?
What the sheet material you use to bend at side.. It look so easy to bend.. I usually used galvanised iron sheet .. But the letter quality is bad ..
What is that plasma cutter? It looks sweet. Can it cut aluminum as well?
UA Representative It is a colossal cut 50 D. You can get them on eBay for like $250. I’ve had mine for about two years now works great
what voltage do you solder? 👏🏻
thats the way you do it man
Hy man. How are you dear
Im usman khan. Sign making is my business. Your work style is awesome. Dear plz guide me for 22 and 24 gauge stainless steel letters. This is perfect machine but I haven't knowledge about this type welding. Plz guide me.
It’s a lot of work 😮
What material did u use to join them all? Is it welding?
Heyyo Bonjol it is all 24 gauge the strips and the letters. I use .023 wire running out of my mig gun.
very nice
How would you cleanup the front from all the welding burns?
what machine that you used for cutting the plate?
Lupang Pinangako it's called a colossal tech cut50d plasma cutter. It will cut up to I believe 3/8 thick plate. Going to put a link below the comment here. I had mine for over two years it runs great.

Is 24 gauge thick enough for a belt clip like what you find on tape measures? Will it retain its shape under pressure?
cyberpine No, I would recommend something like 16 gauge. it’s thicker and holds form better
@@AMakersJourney 16 gauge is thicker than automotive sheet metal..
What material and thickness is around your letters?
What the type of weelding tools.. can you inform..
Bro, I would like know the name of that bender and where to buy. You are really doing a funky job 🙏
Hi , I was hoping you could help me with a few queries, what is the make of the machine you are using to bend the aluminium, also what sort of welding are you doing
Is the letter template MDF (masonite)? Very cool setup!
Glenn Wiebe yes You are correct
Hey need some help regarding Fabrication of such letters let me know how should I connect with you.
whats that cutter you are using to cut sheet metal.... is that available in India?
Nagesh Theorems if you are talking about the plasma cutter it is a colossal CUT50D
What type of plasma cutter do you have. And do you cut your own wooden latter's.
Thank you.
And great video
Plasma cutter is a colossal cut50D. I don’t believe they make that brand anymore but there are similar ones for the same price is very cheap like under $200
@@AMakersJourney thank you for your reply.
Magic.. Where is this sir..
good！
GOOD job, what is the machine used to at 0:09?
Hi What bending device are you using for your channel what brand is that clamp bender ?
Hola donde puedo adquirir una plegado como la que tienes
Bonjour, ou peut on avoir l’étau pour plier les bandes ??? Merci
Could you tell me in detail how you welded 24 gauge sheet metal ? I just blow through
Thank you!
Mountain Mike
Michael Whaley A big one is try to use some type of an aluminum bar for a heat sink behind your weld while you’re welding. Also curious are you using gas to weld way or flux core?
@@AMakersJourney thank you and it's going to be enclosed so I won't be able to get behind it with an aluminum block and I'm using 30 flux core wire only
Michael Whaley that flux core unfortunately could be part of the problem. If you use a little bit thicker gauge you could probably get away with doing flux core with no problem with maybe 18 gauge or 20 gauge
@@AMakersJourney thank you very much
I will teach you

hello sir what is that machine you used to bend that edges not welding machine that machine like a blade or something
what machine are you using sir?
adgraft digital This is the machine I use you can get them off of Amazon.

What type of welding is this?
Sriram reigns this is the welder I use. I actually have 4 of them I do my welding classes with. www.eastwood.com/mig-welder-110vac-135a-output.html
is that a mig or flux welder?
It is Meg with gas. I always feel like flux core gets a little hot for such thin metal. But with practice I’m sure you can do it with flux core
Alguien que sepa español y que me pueda desir como se llama esa cortadora de lamina y que marca es la prensa dobladora de lamina, de antemano agradesco la informacion que me pudieran proporcionar
De hecho la dobladora es un tornillo o yunque modificado
Con una cisalla puedes hacerla , en algún deshuesadero industrial puedes conseguirla y cortar y ajustar a las muelas de una prensa o tornillo o yunque cómo lo quieras llamarle
