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 .
Yes I’m hooked on your channel I hope three more!!!
Thank you
Dan
gracias Tim saludos desde mexicali baja, tus videos me han ayudado a dar mejor presentacion a mis trabajos
I know it’s old but I think this is great!!!
I have watched hundreds of hours of tutorials and a college degree in Welding Technology. I love how you present the info and also yourself. Great teacher and funny dude.
im just finished a 15 week night course on tig, and i learned more in your 17.05 min video, thank you very much Tim.
Tim thanks for the great information on welding different types of metals , I appreciate your time , and technique's you use again thanks.
Thank you for all of the effort you put into this series... it's been full of great information for a self taught amateur!
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!
I like Tim's videos. You are awesome man, you and TFS make great tutorials. Keep up keeping up with the welding series.
Great video Tim always tell it like it is Great man .
Dude.. you reach more with these videos than any welding school teaches.. well done
This series has been great. Thank you for taking the time to makes these videos.
Thank you for sharing Tim!!
Thank you Tim, all good stuff!
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.
Mike
Tim,. Great series of fabrication videos! I learned a bunch. Please continue with the series.
Thanks Tim, great info in this series, can't wait for the new series👍
Thanks for all the videos. Looking forward to the next series.
Great insight Tim. I applaud your instructional insight to help us newbies learn the craft.👊
Very helpful video, Tim, thank you for posting.
Great series! Looking forward to the next!
Great series. Thanks Tim!
Great series Tim. Really appreciate your efforts and information shared and are looking foward to your next series.
Great stuff, thanks Tim
Thank you so much for taking the time to instruct us. I found this information extremely useful and will continue to watch every video. I can't get enough of this. Again thank you!!!
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!
Thanks Tim!
Thank you great series
great video , good lesson. thanks ..
Thank you
👍thank you for sharing.
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.
Thanks very much I learned a lot
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.
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
See nobody ever told me to pull the rod back far enough. Great tip that explains where some of my fuck ups happen.
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
I'd like a go at the 221 lol.
Lime it’s an awesome machine. I love mine more than my dynasty. Arc is so much nicer
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!
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!!!!??????
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?
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 .
How to do fit up for multiple pipe joints
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.
Good info here. One suggestion is to say things once and not repeat it 3 times with different phrasing.
dip dip potato chip
I never like looking like a dipshit when trying to show a technique. Dynasty 350 there or the 4 something unit?
