  • In this video, I'll make a holiday tree out of 16 ga steel. I designed the tree to be easily formed by hand with simple tools. The patterns were developed with the offset of the drag tip in mind and are easy to follow with a hand torch.

    Thank you to Miller Electric and Millerwelds.com for providing me with the plasma cutter and welder and PPE that I used in this video. It is very important to be safe while welding and to wear the appropriate safety gear. Always be sure to read all labels and the owner’s manual.

    With a TIG weld, this could come out really spiffy. I'd put a tube (same one used for regular lights) down the middle, that way one could run wires through it and put LED lights beneath the "petals"/branches.

      Thanks! I have always had a lot of commercial offers that I have been able to ignore. Many of the names you see the other YTers spamming about (game ads, home security, hair trimmers, etc…). The opportunity came along to work with Miller and I am a huge fan of the brand so it is really a no-brainer.

    I know you built a CNC machine while back. By the way, that was the most beautiful CNC I have ever witnessed. I wonder if you have any plans on building a CNC plasma cutter. I would love to see that.

    • @Grunblau
      @Grunblau  Před 10 měsíci +1

      I have two of those (Platform CNC) fully built still. One I have set up for milling/routering. But the 2nd one, I’d like to convert to a CNC plasma. This ability was considered in the original design!

    • @Grunblau
      @Grunblau  Před rokem +1

      You and I both! CZcams slowed down who they actually show my videos to… so the process of saving the $1500 or so to produce the kayak has been slow in coming. I have the full scale buck cut and all of the Okoume plywood etc… a local laser company offered to cut the pieces rather than use a CNC. I think this collaboration fell through at this point but with the shop a balmy 45°, I won’t be slinging epoxy anytime soon. I also intend to release model kits at the same time, for people that are looking for a rewarding project that hits all of the notes of satisfaction except actually paddling around in it!
