I'm now confident that my man Sandro can do anything 😂
Sandro can do anything because if it goes wrong it was for the boys
Gay for Sandro
@@williamclaflin7863 honestly who aint?
He's the guy you say you know when you know a guy. Except he knows his shit.
While on fire!
Not to brag, but one time I glued my fingers together. If you think about it, I’m pretty much a welder
Technically it’s a chemical weld lmao
@@RangerHouston😂😂 technically you aint wrong 😂😂
😂
I did that once with like…industrial strength glue. It really surprised me how bad that burned 😂
First time I used super glue in Jr. High. The panic is real.
Sandro is easily my favorite guy on this channel, Angelina is a very close second
Miss A ain’t a dude
@williamclaflin7863 You’re right, but she’s still a bro
Hahaha @williamclaflin7863 been paying attention.
She certainly isn't. Sheesh.
@@williamclaflin7863 Yeah but they both have knowledge and skill. I think that Sandro is more likely to do things for his boys.
That's the responsibility of being a teacher. You always gotta set a good example.
Sandro seems to have the, grew up broke, kinds of skills; where yourself is the only one you can pay to do the essential work.
My son is a union ironworker and certified welder. I taught him to solder when he was about 8 years old, stick welding at 10 and by 12 he was TiG welding. I know how to weld and am lucky enough to buy good welding equipment but I’m no way in the same league as him. His welds are a thing of beauty. They actually asked if he wanted to teach at the union training center when he finished his apprenticeship. He was 22! He told the lead instructor he’d think about it in a few years after he got real world experience under his belt. I’m so proud of my son!
wow, amazing. 🤍 but he also had a great teacher in you!
Be proud my dude also props to the man who guided him there
nooooo no no, Good Job Dad (or mom)
Atta boy! 👍
Sandro is practically this channel's host now, I see him every episode.
This isn't a complaint by any means, he is still my favourite guest.
I thought this was Sandro's channel?!?!? 😂
"Hey you're on fire!"
"I'm almost done"
Sandro has been a hell of a find. However much or little filming he wants to do, you guys have to keep him in the DMCU.
"Do I finish the weld first, or put out the fire?"
~Welder's Dilemma
Usually, it's my left sleeve by my elbow.
he's right when you get that position and that speed. we not moving . tell the fire watch to put me out
Welders just be like that
Sandro is so comfortable now that he's been on the show for a pretty long time
I remember how shy he used to be
Oh yeah, for real... And its very nice to see that!!
the number of cuss increase the more he gets more comfortable
Yeah, now days the editor has to keep awake, Sandros first swear was followed by a sheepish apology, even though it was bleeped.
Now days he just *BEEPING* keeps cusing XD
@@gmailisaretard Our man Sandro is taking care of that editor, making sure his boy has job security!
Sandros personal do not do it this way stories are gold. This man has lived. Love how you can hear the whole studio laughing at the shit he says
Fr, the story about his brother being on fire and saying I'm amost done had me dying.
@@kjm0677 The thing is that while funny it's really common, you are welding and smell something burning which is kinda normal in a shop then look down its your apron or the shirt that is on fire, you put it out and keep welding unless its a big fire. Sure you freak out the first couple of times but welders on the job have set themselves on fire enough times to just know how long they have until its too much fire. (Just don't tell OSHA!) Experience can bring some complacency with it.
His delivery is s spot on for everything. The "O, I get it, I get it, that's what sucks" on the first clip is gold. The look he gives the camera as well. The man could be a stand up comedian with a routine solely based on his experiences working on cars.
@@alexisrivera200xable that is some solid insight thank you!
"Kids, learn to inspect welds.".....wise words from our man Sandro 🤣🤣👍
Sandro is a jack-of-all-trades!! What else can he do?
Sandro is that 45 year old dude from your local shop that has been doing mechanic work since he was 15. There is very little he hasn't seen, done, fixed or broken.
"...So we invited some professional monster truck drivers to- Wait, you here again?"
"Well @#$& yeah bro!"
@@russelljacob7955😂🤣💨 You made my day bro!
@@russelljacob7955 LMAO
Jack of all trades, master of none, but often better than master of One.
My Grandpa was a welder for nearly 70 years. When he was helping teach me to weld (when I was 8) I told him that he was a really good welder, he looked at me and said “you can’t be called a GOOD welder until you’ve welded a train car full of wire”. Guess I’m just fair after 48 years, but I can live with that, it came from Grandpa. 😁
Hah! Every person I knew that welded didn't have a high estimation of their skills either. Even my father was humbled by another mans skills and that is unusual for him.
Those welds were really good though, so understandable why he still at 15 years after retiring hahaha. No seriously I worked on some of the steel he welded and it was factory grade or better, which was especially impressive given the dude was so old he shook like a leaf in the wind and nearly expired after a couple of hours.
Some of those joints were so clean it looked like they were bent or cast as a single piece. First time I met a master of their trade. The old man was very nice too.
I wish I was smart enough to to have asked my grandpa how to weld
Never said how big the train had to be!
Lmao
I have about 1,000 hours under the hood and I'd say I'm "alright"
At this point just give Sandro his own show.
I am a weld inspector, pipeline among other things as Sandro mentioned. The red stuff you see coming out of the weld at 10:00 is called dye penetrant, it is a specific type of oil colored with dye that draws itself into cracks and other imperfections. The surface is then cleaned and what the guy in the video is spraying is the developer, essentially aerosolised chalk, that draws the red coloring out to the surface.
Also where I live, carnival rides are definitely subject to regular weld inspections, at least on load bearing areas and repairs.
When I get another 1,000 hours under the hood I want to get certified as an inspector.
we use it in hvac for leak detection too
Bro, everytime you bring an expert, its Sandro in there. Gotta love the guy. He does everything
Sandro and Angelina should have the next low car vs Donut having the high car.
This is brilliant
THIS IS GOLD! I would absolutely watch that, 100% 😍
I love how Sandro is their expert on everything car related.
it's cuz he does custom work. Once you get into working on old cars you need to know how to do custom metal fab. In general older cars require a lot of custom work, so you just learn to do it.
@@CRneu it's pretty clear from how he talks about it that he likes hanging out with the subcultures within the broader car community too, so he probably really has seen just about everything.
Would love to see a season of HiLo with Sandro and Angelina but instead of a hi car and a lo car they each just have a budget to play with each episode allowing them to cheap on certain things so they can have a higher budget for a different item next episode etc. Would be interesting to see where they decide to spend up or cheap out for certain parts which can be compared overall
Yes. This.
sandro with the "🔥but i'm almost done! 🔥" holy shit is that relatable. when you're 2 inches away from finishing the smoothest bead you've laid all day and you can smell your glove roasting, your hand is getting hot, you just grit the shit out of your teeth and run run run run run and as SOON as that arc breaks you flail your arms like an orangutan.
Lol sandros story of his brother one fire is spot on. I have been on fire a few times and been like, eh, I can finish this bead lol.
Welders when told they are on fire be like; Oh ok. and just keep on what they are doing. 😂
I watched an industrial welder do some stainless steel piping connections once and what made me stop to see the outcome was that he was making some weird looking upper body and shoulder movements with a Tig welder. It was the most perfect smooth weld I have ever seen! The flow of the weld looked like a machine had done it.
a machine did do it.
a tig welder is a machine.
Sandro needs to be a host on this channel or just put him on for an hour. He’s so funny and knowledgeable.
I love that Sandro now comes with a studio audience
I’ve been welding for 48 years, one of the first things I learned was just because it’s aesthetic doesn’t mean it’s a good weld. The pretty part comes with experience, make sure you have your prep and penetration down first, then practice on making it better looking.
Lesson 2: just because someone bought a large tool box with tools doesn’t make them a mechanic, same goes with a welder.
Yep. You can make an ugly weld that penetrates and you can make a pretty weld that don't. That said, quite a few of the bad welds shown in this video pretty obviously didn't penetrate..
The Trades take time to grow and deepen the learned.
As seen by "rechtschaffend frei/fremde Wandergesellen" on their "Walz" over here in Germany and actually throughout the entire Euro - Asian Continent if one so desires.
most often they are Carpentry Journeypersons in their Journeymen years
I got the shit stick cause i can do very strong mig welds but they usually look like crap, and i got a job that needs pretty welds not necessarily stronk welds
As someone who has spent ten years all over the country welding from ships to oil rigs to pipelines this video was enjoyable. As a trained professional with a degree in metallurgy this was one of the most painful videos I have seen in a long time! On a side note some of the best welders I have seen are mechanics they just have to do a lot more welding than you think.
meh they more or less have a controlled environment. not impressed
Sandro is dope, his commentary is always on point! Keep him on the show!
He's that guy who knows the right methods well enough to get away with the jank ones.
Sandro is not the superhero we asked for, but he's the superhero we needed.
I come back to Donut to see Sandro and Angelina. They bring a fresh experience to the channel. Love everything from their tips, tricks and stories. I can't get enough of them.
1:34 was in Brazil, this kind of mechanic is well known as "Tião". They're awesome!
Sandro gunning for Nolan’s job, and I support that decision 😂, but for real we love you Nolan! Bring Sandro to the donut team and just give him a shop that does real mechanics stuff let him do him but get real day to day info
Honestly, as good as Sandro seems, I'm betting he's making way more money running his shop
Love Sandro he makes this show so entertaining and can do anything
Two things about this:
1. Sandro is fkn mcgiver! my man is an expert on any type of video hahahahha
2. "Almost done" is the best self motivation
Love how Sandro is always making everybody laugh so easily. Dude is hilarious and so nonchalant about it.
Some of those welds at the beginning looked like bubble gum stuck on with paint over top. Others reminded me of JB Weld. Now that final clip was not just beautiful welding, that dude was like Bob Ross making "happy little welds". :)
"The Bob Ross of Welding" man, you could not have a better tag line! Biz cards, ads, sign out front
Sandro reminds me of my dad with how he works on cars and welds too. Though my dad was an Iron worker first and a master mechanic second. He had to wear full leathers when welding and years ago he was welding in an enclosed space for a building on a construction site and he felt this pressure and sudden heat for a moment (note: he had earplugs in so he couldn't hear anything). He was confused for a moment, finished up his weld and when he came out he found out gas had exploded down where he was. So please, for the love of all that is holy, wear the damn leathers! It WILL save your life!
Sandro to his brother "Dude, you're on fire!" Brother "I'm almost done!"
Guy to your dad "Dude, you just exploded!" Your Dad "I'm almost done!"
I learned how to MIG weld when I was on a Baja SAE team. (We had opportunities to learn TIG welding, but not enough access to a machine to get enough practice in outside of the few group classes.) At my university, we learned from people who were trained to be aircraft mechanics and they made sure your welds were ON POINT. Plus, our competition made us do weld samples for every welder who welded on the chassis, with destructive testing for one of the sample types.
I found welding to be pretty fun and relaxing at times. The whole experience definitely made me start to look around a lot more at things that are welded together and at the quality of the welds.
Sandro is The Man! I'm convinced that dude's a genius, as well.
"A grinder & paint makes the welder you ain't."
Hahaha great video!
Sandro and his brother needs their own donut show
I absolutely love the welding content. Cars and welding go hand in hand so much. Definitely want to see more like this.
I love how Sandro is just a pro at everything 😂. I laugh but it’s awesome cuz I’m sure he’s damn good at what he does by the way he talks about work
I bought a welder and trying to learn. It's hard especially when someone isn't showing you in person. But practice till it's perfect
I've been tattoo artist for 16 years (half of my life). Tried TIG welding this year. After 20hrs of practice they let me do stuff that was actually sold to customer. Making tattoo and welding are so much similar that you can't imagine. I also run tattoo studio for 4 years now and seriously... I think welding is more relaxing and ratio for drama/income is much better.
I'm a welder and my best friend is a tattoo artist. I keep telling him he'd make a great welder, but he's afraid of burning his ink
I love the “hey you’re on fire…. And his brothers like “ I’m almost done!” lol
I love this channel. I subscribed to this channel before it was announced on the donut channel. All of these are a must watch.
Same. Been waiting for them to restock the real mechanic hat so i can rep the brand.
Excellent stuff guys. Jeff was a VERY nice and new face for “splaining” 😊
When my co-worker was told not to look at the arc he asked "How come you can watch it on TV? 😂
I remember on my first welding job I was welding aluminum structural with meg. I was looking up, spark, came down with the bottom of my shirt up and I was on fire didn’t stop even though if that’s a little hot smells a little didn’t realize what was happening till someone laughed and pointed at me and I was on fire. God bless welders one of the most blue-collar jobs you can do.
Sandro’s on-fire brother “I’m almost done…” cracked me the HELL up!
Im in welding school currently, and thats 100% because of Donut
Enjoy, I absolutely loved every minute of welding school (even the boring math parts).
I felt that “ I’m almost done” when being in that a1 spot while on fire and welding 😂
"We brought in professional astronauts for this episode"
Sandro* i gatchu
Sandro is allowed to modify my car at will tbh
You should defiantly make Sando part of the regular Donut crew. 😁
Dang that would be awesome
Welding when you get all the prep right and everything is just working spot on is actually really relaxing I find. You get in the zone and nothing can move you.
man, it's almost like you're in your own little world in there. You get your ear pro in, covered in leather or heavy cotton, mask down so you can see nothing but your weld... Everything else is gone, it's just you and your weld. I love it. Unfortunately my ears start to hurt after 4-6 hours with earplugs in so actually working 10 hour shifts as a welder hasn't worked out for me.
“I’m almost done” lmfao. That’s a real ass response
I've used JB weld and the PVC glue. By chemical/physcis definition of 'welding' I'm a welder 😎
By that definition I'm a welder too! Soldering iron and plastic
Why does welding make a crackling sound instead of a constant buzz?
Depends on the process (TIG, MIG, etc). Stick welding sounds really rough because the arc is more "violent" and the metal coming off the stick is mostly globules, it's really messy. Check out some high fps footage of stick welding vs TIG for example. You'll quickly understand why.
Our local carnival consists mostly of vintage rides. Very sketch welds. The last time I was there is the last time I ever go to a county fair. I was riding a spinning ride that moved you up and down in the air. One of the service doors flew open and proceeded to smack the rides being banged around so hard it was throwing sparks when it collided with the bars. The very lazy "I don't get paid enough to work here" worked, very slowly came over to the controls and decelerated the ride, rather then hitting the emergency stop button. Meanwhile the rides kept hitting the door. The door was a mangled mess (could have injured someone) and the ride operator proceeded to grab duck tape and tape the door shut. Everyone in line and on the ride noped out of there. Welds on the rides were bad but not only that, very cracked and rusted supports.
Sandro is one of a kind and he seems pretty young still, and knows a lot of skilled trades
I do want to brag I’m a certified Tig and Mig welder I went to school for free thanks people paying their taxes I got free education ❤
Jeff looks like a welder. Sandro is a badass all arounder!
Sandro: "Ey, you're on fire!"
Brother: "I'm almost done."
😆
Literally had a one semester class on welding. Nothing too in depth, just the very basics. They literally said "now that you know what a good weld looks like, look at the ones at the amusement park"
😂😢😅
Dude, Sandro is my favorite guest on this series! If he had his own show I would DEF watch
Love how comfortable Sandro is on camera now😂
Finally a welding episode. I love it! I just finished school in September, and am now a certified welder 4g. All because of this you tube channel and cleetus mcfarlands channel !
Sandro is the Real Jack of All Trades!!! Gotta love him !!
Sandro has totally become one of my favorite Donut characters! Love that guy "do it for the boys!"
Give Sandro his own show. We all want it.
Sandro is the teacher we want but dont deserve.
That last weld was absolutely beautiful, amazing work.
Bro Sandro could host the whole show on his own and I'd be super happy. I love you guys too ofcourse LOL
Can’t wait to watch Angelina again!!!
Sandro's brother: "I'm almost done!"
Sandro: "yeah, almost done for" 😂
Man Jeff, that haircut is a real choice.
Sandro on fire doesn't surprise me. I can also relate to getting in the perfect spot and not stopping for any pain or burning smell. The hole in my arm can confirm this
Sandro is by far my favorite , he feels so relatable if that makes sense .
JEFFREY!!!!! THATS MY GOONIE BROTHER!!!!! And I will say, working side bye side with that guy for the close to 14 years he knows his stuff.🤘 Just weld it!!!!!
That is the most Sandro's brother thing I've ever heard. Your on fire "I'm almost done" 💀
I love how old mate Sandro spends 9/10 of the time being beeped out 😂 🙌🏽
I knew Sandro is an expert mechanic. I didn't know he is an expert welder. He knows what he's talking about. Respect
Sandro is loosening up :) He was super tense in the first few and now he seems more comfortable. That last weld was crazy cool... Mind blowing work!
My dad is a welder. He used to work on the pipelines. The level of skill and quality is unreal. He tried to teach me so many times but I suck at it haha
Make a series on Donut about how to weld and see which of the guys improves the most
“Bro your on fire” “chill im almost done” 😭😂 a shop I wanna be in
HEY DONUT, if you haven't been told yet, Sandro is so dope. And we appreciate you incorporating him as much as possible. He's a riot and he meshes with the crew. I seen him wit Nolan, wit James, with Justin. Never a skipped beat. U guys even thro him wit complete stranger and put him with Angelina, and they were electric off rip. SANDRO FOR PREZIDENT!!!!
Angelina is ill too. The 2 of em are the b3st of the ppl uve brought in for this channel. And with the 2 of em it gives u a good balance. She's the teacher and like the good view in the automotive scene
And Sandro is the bad and darker and unfortunately reality of the auto industry, or the devil on the other shoulder. Its like salt in a batch of chocolate cookies. Not right without it
"The clowns, the welds, the candy" that's a life lesson right there
10:25 I worked as a machinist in a petrochemicals plant and my man Sandro is spot on. I usually beveled the pipes for fabrication shop between 30 and 37.5 degrees and you get a nice V shape when you face them on each other.
I appreciate the no holding back and calling out on the B.S. that some people try to pull off as good.
My high school auto shop teacher used to call bad welds "bubble gum". Couldn't've have a more accurate representation.
Sandro seems like he learned alot of old style mechanics and welding.. I work in a mechanic and fabrication shop...I've watched people be lit on fire and I've been on fire spicy situations 😂
I just started teaching myself to weld by watching countless hours of videos and repaired my tractor deck after running about 2 lbs of rods ❤ I love it I couldn't practice today because it was raining I need to build a shop asap 😂
Worked as a "certified high-pressure welder" for decades. While welding in certain areas of powerhouses extremely tight. My welds were X-rayed for quality. Many times as I'm finishing up a weld, I'll smell my clothes smoldering. You don't want to stop and risk ruining or having to restart the weld. As you say the prep work is key. Welding chrome alloy tubes, the shift, opposite mine was supposed to "clean the weld area". My foreman told me they had prepped everything and all I had to do was weld. Everything was going smooth until I got to the "tough spot". You had to work hard to clean this inside area (they failed to). As my heli-arc puddle got to the "tough spot" i saw the puddle start bubbling. I knew immediately they'd missed some dirt. The weld tech knew me and my work ethic, he informed my foreman I was the only one to prep and weld the tubes. No X-ray or pressure failures on my work - ever.
My Grandfather was a coded welder. He specialists in stick welding. It looked like fine handwriting his welds. He was a part of the team that welded gas lines from the Soviet Union to Europe.
I love how Sandro has been in like almost every segment. This man has seen some stuff!
Im in school learning SMAW and GTAW right now and these vids gave me a real boost in confidence 😂 but loved this segment please do more welding video's
I watched this twice.... bleeps and sirens for SANDRO means real life talk.....ànd walk away! Donut found a new combination with Sandro.....and the editors got them covered.... SANDRO IS THAT MECHANIC THAT GIVES YOU ACCURACY AND REAL WORLD TALK!
When I was in Highschool I worked at a muffler shop, and we used stick. The things I learned from the old man put me so far ahead of my class.
Sandro is awesome i hope he never leaves
Thank you for this. I’ve done stick, mig, tig , resistance, compression and electron beam welding. On pretty much all types of steal and aluminum. And special alloys for the different military projects. I love doing it.
