    Tim I would like to thank you for these tips on building and setting up drag race cars. I used to go to the races back in the day when you were racing and you and actually talked a few times. Keep up the awesome work you're doing here .

    Tim, great videos, thanks - I'm a mechanical (design) engineer and I've just moved jobs to where welding is more common place, but I just don't have any experience of designing welded parts. Specifically I'm due to design a welded scaffold, so I found the whole series intersting but particularly as well the tube cutting processes at the start. Thanks!

    Great series. Watched them all in real time as you posted them and then recently went back through them. You had mentioned about another series showing plate vs. tube as well as bending. I would be interested in both of those when you have time.
    Thanks again.

    Thanks for the tip about pulling the rod out quick. I thought you kept the rod in the heat zone to keep warm like gas welding. That helps a lot. Thank you!

    Tim, thank you for sharing your insight and experience. Keep it up, please. I would love to see some thicker aluminum welding videos. 1/4-3/8" 1/2" 6061 T6. I use a dialarc 350
    (I know...old school) but I am sure your insight and knowledge could help make my welds even better. Even with a antique welder.

    I had done a little stick welding in trade school. When I learned to TIG, I bought a syncrowave 180 SD. and a book. I followed the basics in the book and just kept practicing beads. If I started to have trouble, I went back to the book. I'm definitely no pro, but I am OK at the basics. I think the worst problem I had with aluminum welding is arc wander.

  • @dopesquatch
    @dopesquatch Před 6 lety

    I've got a syncrowave 180 never took a welding class and have always had the solder drop going on never really have issues with mild and ss but the alum was an issue lol... thanks for the info

  • @rongravel4585
    @rongravel4585 Před 5 lety

    See nobody ever told me to pull the rod back far enough. Great tip that explains where some of my fuck ups happen.

  • @weldingjunkie
    @weldingjunkie Před 6 lety +1

    HTP Invertig 221 is a great aluminum welder too. My comparison between the dynasty and the HTP and the invertig comes out on top. Great video Tim

    • @Limeayy
      @Limeayy Před 6 lety +1

      I'd like a go at the 221 lol.

    • @weldingjunkie
      @weldingjunkie Před 6 lety

      Lime it’s an awesome machine. I love mine more than my dynasty. Arc is so much nicer

    • @andyalberto2970
      @andyalberto2970 Před 5 lety

      I have one also and every person who has tried it has said the same thing.

      Andy Alberto agreed I hear nothing but good things about it. Customer service is bar none the best!

    • @michaelwahl9281
      @michaelwahl9281 Před 5 lety

      Got a HTP at home and a dynasty 280 at work. Miller dynasty has far better ac arc starts but the htp is a great machine for half the price tho. Both have similar arcs once going but Miller wins with crisp starts.

    Hey Tim, love your videos and have been wondering about something? When do you sleep!!!!??????

  • @joewest1972
    @joewest1972 Před 5 lety

    Just happened to cross your video. I'm enjoying them very much. I wonder if you've ever had any problems moving the filler Rod so far away from the weld puddle that it leaves the Argon Shield area, I've experienced that

    Do you have any videos on your chassis table?

  • @12vLife
    @12vLife Před 5 lety

    I have an engineering questions. If I lay (3) 48x4x.25 strips of aluminum 6 inches apart and screw them in deep and well on 1 inch overhangs on each end will that support 500lbs? It's okay (actually preferred) if they bend a little .

    @justinlongoria9306 Před 6 lety

    LMAO, I like how you tell it the way it is. Too many people are posers and fake. You didnt look like a dipshit at all. A Ol' Timer once taught me, "If you cant swear, then you are with the wrong people". True instructor will tell you the way it is.

  • @JesseWright68
    @JesseWright68 Před 5 lety

    Good info here. One suggestion is to say things once and not repeat it 3 times with different phrasing.

    I never like looking like a dipshit when trying to show a technique. Dynasty 350 there or the 4 something unit?
