    WOW Mr. Shaw. Great Job. I am impressed, I wish I had at least a fraction of your know how. Thanks for showing how it's done. No nonsense and to the point informative videos. Well done!

    I think we're a layman like me in regards to body work that I've always kind of shied away from busting out a grinder and going at it always kind of scared me. And this does a good job and explaining what you need to do and after what you do and how you do it it takes a lot of the fear away great job Dick.

    Love your videos! What type of metal do you use for the rust repair?

    You got some if the best Z videos...but I wish you would wear a mask when you grind and cut metal. That stuff is very bad for you.

      Thanks for watching. Wearing a mask is good advice.

    add a sock or wind muff to ur mic, to get rid of a lot of the white noise when ur recording in the shop with the cam mic. will make video quality better.

      Thanks for the tip and your interest in helping me out. I don't have a mic, audio is just recorded by my GoPro camera. I know these are amateur videos but hopefully they are still acceptable and helpful to some.

      @@DickShaw video quality isn't bad its just the white noise and since u have go pros u can set those up in a time lapse feature or just speed up recording to short time span. keep them under 1 min and u can do some shorts on ig, yt, tiktok, facebook, or whatever social media platform u prefer. also for the mic if u have lavaliers just use those for audio granted, audio syncing and video syncing gonna be a pain in the ass u can prolly sync them up on some free video editing software. from these videos i would just improve the audio and maybe add more content aiming for an 8min mark that way the algo picks up on ur stuff. oh and if u can before uploading rename ur file name to something relevant like 240z build etc.. instead of the random name the gopro gives ur video. oh and take a unique image for a thumbnail each time try not to reuse the same image for a thumbnail. all this just helps ur videos get picked up by the algo. u have some interesting content u just don't seem to be the most tech savy hope this helps in getting more reach w/ viewers

      @@JP-xv8uq you're right about me not being the most tech savvy as I did not grow up with this stuff and I don't even use social media. I wish I understood and could do all the suggestions you are making. I am the one giving my videos their name, not the gopro. And the thumbnails are from each video. So they are different but I guess they all look similar since it is a shot of the same lime yellow car. I need a producer/manager :)

    Nice work ! Can you show us the settings of the welder please ? :)

    • @DickShaw
      @DickShaw  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for watching. Every welder is going to be different. Mine is a Migmaster 180. I had the amp/current setting on 4 and the wire feed/speed setting at 4.5. Best thing to do is experiment on some scrap metal the thickness you're welding until you get a setting that works.

      Thanks for watching. I believe it was some 19 gauge I used but 18 or 20 gauge would work too.

      Thanks for watching! I am fortunate to have some sheet metal working tools, brake, slip rolls, and shrinker/stretcher which make the job fairly easy. :)
