I teach everything I know about welding and fabricating with aluminum here www.6061.com Order the same TIG Button variable amperage finger controller I use here www.6061.com/tigbutton.htm I'll explain what this contraption I made is used for in an upcoming video. Thanks for watching
done and done a while ago. I still use my foot pedal 90% of the time but that TIG button is a must-have for the other 10. I appreciate the fresh content. fun to watch.
Okay Aaron, you can retire now, you’ve achieved the highest goal any fabricator can aspire to, Ron doesn’t just toss around the word “stunning”. He has spoken.
I've been welding nearly 35 years, you do some of the best work I've saw. Keep it up, lets keep teachin the greenhorns so they got a good example. God bless. Stay safe.
Your work is always awesome and an inspiration. I work for one of the biggest sheet metal fabrication companies in the world and I've seen quite a bit. You're exceptional.
gotta say one of the best things ive learned from this channel was about the TIG button i have been using the same one i have bought 3 years ago and its a game changer!
Mate i must say without sounding piss pockety, ive not seen inspirational, neat, well organised vids like yours. Late nights layed back watching how you tig is so damn mesmerising, i wish i could be half as neat. Thanks for the vids mate 👍
As usual, that was awesome. Love the arc shots, can never get enough of those. That Idaho footage was spectacular, plus, you’re on a 2 stroke. Perfect.
The TIG button is such an intuitive way to control amperage,I dont get why manufacturers dont offer something similar as standard. Unfortunately it is not available for my machine. Love the longer and more detailles videos ☺
Very nice job whatever it is. I have a tig button and have recommended it to several people. I also made a slim tig button holder that fits the CK torch with carbon fiber PETG 3d printer. Thanks for the video.
Your welding is beautiful. I can watch it over and over. I will NEVER be this good. By the way, change the capacitor on your belt sander. Maybe go ine size up from the existing one. It will kick in to life without you having to help it start.
Been watching you for years now. I have learned so much (or nothing, lol), thank you. However, never ever seen you welding thin-to-thin aluminium. That's quite common task that I have in my yard - to weld an aluminium based frame out of thin square/round tubes. Any chance you could show us how to weld 1mm to 1mm thin aluminium? And perhaps in a manner where you cut a profile into 2 pieces and then weld it back together. I find it extremely challenging. All the best.
hello. Just L or U profile, mine were 1mm thick with 30mm width. Thank you a million! The hardest thing is to weld it if cut at 45 degree angle. I tried posting an image here, but it gets deleted. I'll try to put it into next comment.
He’s back 🎊 🎉. I could watch videos of your amazing welds and the projects you spit out of Mad Max (that’s what I call your shop). If you ever have some spare time I’m sure more then just me would like to see how they have the power supply for your setup. I think that’s a great fucking idea. Talk about mobile fabricator lol you can literally pull up on them with a full fab shop
Hey, you welding freak of nature.. I have a question. I have a subscription to your videos and I am learning so much. For someone like me, it would be so cool if there was an editing software you could use to (Flip, invert???) the videos so that a non-southpaw could get even more benefit from you. Basically make the video look like a right handed person was welding. Just a thought : )
Excellent work and beautiful nature! Interesting history about the dredging and the salmon. What is the black sooty stuff when you were tacking the handle on? I’m just getting started with TIG welding and have yet to try aluminum. I’m just curious.
Contamination...he accidentally dipped some filler on to his tungsten. You see a green flash when this happens. Clean up the soot, grind the tungsten and back to work
Which torch are you using with the button attachment I have 2 dynasty 400 machines for heavy aluminium welding (tanks for radiators) mostly 15mm thick sometimes 30mm. I'm also having trouble with the standard earth cable when welding at high amps it seems to glow red any fix for this?
Hi Chad, I have a Yeswelder 250P and they don’t make the Tig button for my welder either. But I built my own custom Tig pedal so I learned all about what the welder needs for a signal. They are very simple inside and basically have two wires for switch to begin the arc and three wires that go to a potentiometer. That’s it! I purchased a Tig button for the AHP and re-wired the plug to match my Yeswelder Tig because the AHP and Yeswelder both use a 10k potentiometer. The good news is that almost every Chinese Tig that I’ve reviewed on my channel uses a 10k potentiometer with a 5 pin plug. If you opened up your pedal for the Weldpro I’ll bet it uses a 10k potentiometer. If it does, let me know and I can walk you through the process of how to wire it up if you really want a Tig button. I can assure you that it will change your whole world once you get used to welding with it. 😁👍
@@PranaTech hi mate, just reading through the comments and notices you were able to make the tig button work for your welder...I also have the same problem that they don't make the tig button for my welder...my foot pedal has a potentiometer and basically varies the 10.8v down to 1 or 2 volts...any ideas how I can adapt the tig button to my machine?
I be welding aluminum right now with my tig all day if I could afford the 500$ to fill my outside tank & +shipping my argon here. It's not price though stopping things, no no no! no one has it to ship here either even remotely locally now...... Sigh use to be 250$ fill my tank and 50$ ship my god sad times for my beautiful country, that has been pile drived into the ground 😢

I never figured out what it was.....but fantastic job! Your welding/fabrication/machining vids are some of the best. Thanks!
could be a tool to round off concrete?
@@erikslagter3231 I was wondering the same thing, but it seems like aluminum would wear really fast against something that hard.
It would be a sin to get concrete on that work of art!
I'm thinking it's a handle to carry grocery bags
If we don’t know then it will probably have another video or two about it. At least in that’s how it was in the past haha 😂
Your craftsmanship and artistry always amazes me! Also makes me work at becoming better myself! Thank you for taking us all along on the journey!
I particularly appreciate the real time footage ❤
Damn I'm glad you're back. Always like watching a professional
work.. Now I'm intrigued to know what exactly that is or what it's for.

Another great video Aaron. Thanks for taking us along on your ride.
Thanks Cody
Just enough arc shot to give me a semi but not enough to finish the job! Excellent vid man 👍🏻
The holding and measuring fixtures are amazing. Great channel, thanks!
Beautiful welding of aluminum. Practice make perfection! 😎👍
Awesome skills,.awesome job, and great scenery from Idaho. Thank you for all the tips, and great videos!
The Greatest Channel on YT with no spoken word. Congrats on the 500K subs.
Beautiful view on your bike trip. 👍🏻
Very nice job whatever it is. I have a tig button and have recommended it to several people. I also made a slim tig button holder that fits the CK torch with carbon fiber PETG 3d printer. Thanks for the video.
Hi John,
Will you please email me a picture of your custom holder? Email address is at the top of my website.
Thanks,
Aaron
Tidy job , as usual ,,, its what we expect though.
12:40 , its amazing how precise an eye-crometer can be .
Pretty beautiful country, Idaho is.
Good vid. Thanks!
Dude you have a shear on your trailer? Nice💪💪
Nice work as usual Aaron, see you picked up a new bike :)
Beautiful welds!
Your welding is beautiful.
I can watch it over and over.
I will NEVER be this good.
By the way, change the capacitor on your belt sander. Maybe go ine size up from the existing one. It will kick in to life without you having to help it start.
Every time I see him push start that thing, I think the same thing!🤣👍
You should think about rubber bottom dies for bending aluminum, they don't mar the surface like metal dies do. It might be a good solution.
Me gusta mucho esas soldadura son muy bellas e

Hi Alexander,
Any specific size tubing, and any specific profile?
hello. Just L or U profile, mine were 1mm thick with 30mm width. Thank you a million! The hardest thing is to weld it if cut at 45 degree angle. I tried posting an image here, but it gets deleted. I'll try to put it into next comment.
but my welds are horrible, sorry
Please email me through the website
Very nice. I noticed he uses preflow to blast the gas over the area before the arc even starts. Cool. My machine don't have. 😢
You have manual preflow. While in position, just tap your amperage controller a time or two before welding. Not too big of an inconvenience.
Not bad for your first day, keep on truckin there lil buddy.👍
Awesome stuff man! Wish I lived closer, I have an 01 wr426 and she's begging me to do something like that! Lol
Soo.. since when do robots wear welding gloves?? Awesome work! Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark
Your welds are insane, Nice job as always
Спасибо за видос, круто получилось! 👍👍👍 Краствая у вас природа в Айдахо!👍

Nice video... loved the ending... Thanks
Just wanted to say thanks , I joined up a few years ago on your channel and it helped quite a lot
It's a grocery bag carrier, for us manly men who need to carry every single grocery bag into the house in one trip. :)
your belt grinder may need a new starting capacitor. Usually cheap. will prevent eventual damage to motor
OMG!!!! He outted his hands this video!!! Where are the security gloves!!!!!!
some machines demand full respect
Lol ,
"viewer request to show amperage".
I weld often at 69 amps
I tell bystanders,
" because sometimes I have to weld upside down".
🍻🇨🇦👨🏭
Never mind. Yes you do
O Leandro Torneiro mostrou uma peça sua em um vídeo dele, como exemplo de solda de alumínio...
hello i'm from brazil, good job 🤘
Beautiful welds
Such talent & skill 😃😃
Good Work Frank👌👌
Almost looks like a gardening tool to make a raised little bed for seed
Sooo close... Very good guess.

Well Done, u Arena the Best welder❤
Hi, can we have more view of the puddle plz
Lots more here
Http://www.6061.com
The shakes?! I'll be, I always thought you are a welding robot :)
Nice work! I'm a lefty too, however the first two sections of my left index are no longer attached.... the TIG button won't work for me... :(
Hi Glen,
Skip to 5:15
I'm using my birdie finger on the button and clamping the torch with my ring finger and thumb. Index finger not being used.
I would love a tig button, but I've got an Esab Caddytig 2200I Ac/Dc TA34 which uses a canbus foot pedal, so not compatible.
Nice work
14:10
if you aint comfy, you aint weldin
Bonus points if anyone can figure out what that thing does.
Bonus bonus points if you can match the technique demonstrated here. 😮
Awesome work sir nice
It's amazing and fun to watch (as always). ^^ How often it happen to you to dip tungsten?
Amazing skill👍
Excellent work and beautiful nature! Interesting history about the dredging and the salmon.
What is the black sooty stuff when you were tacking the handle on? I’m just getting started with TIG welding and have yet to try aluminum. I’m just curious.
Contamination...he accidentally dipped some filler on to his tungsten. You see a green flash when this happens. Clean up the soot, grind the tungsten and back to work
What the heck did 6061 just make?! Shopping bag holder? Pushup bars? I'm so confused 🤔
Which torch are you using with the button attachment I have 2 dynasty 400 machines for heavy aluminium welding (tanks for radiators) mostly 15mm thick sometimes 30mm.
I'm also having trouble with the standard earth cable when welding at high amps it seems to glow red any fix for this?
Is this the same as aircraft aluminium
Very good.
I sure wish the tig button would be available for the weldpro tig 200

nice toilet paper dispenser.
Are you advancing the wire with your thumb and using your fingers as guides?
It's all explained in detail on the website www.6061.com. I made a whole video about it.

@20:36 Am i crazy or did that look like a weld bead( I know it was rock) but it looked like a bead to me. Does anybody else see it?
Beautiful
What did you make?
What belt grinders are those..??
If you scotchbrite your rod more than three times you're just playing with it
Are you left handed?
A handrail de-icer.
what model shear is that?
what machine is this?
Where did you get that cutter that's in your lathe tool post? That's really cool! I want one.
It’s called a 4 flute corner rounding endmill. Very common on Bridgeport type milling machines.
Just a roundover endmill for a milling machine.
Also called a corner rounding endmill.
Nice
The details are not the details. They make the design. Charles Eames
wonder if he is a purple tungsten guy or a blue
I know.
Looks just like my mig welds.
Um, what is it?
What is it?
what is it?
What is it.
в конце красиво)
grocery bag holder?
👍👍👍
Awesome
What is this used for? Someone help haha
Don't feel bad, I'm stumped too 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Can you make me a chastity belt for my 15 year old daughter? The lock picking lawyer is going to make me a lock for it.🤬
I mean, it’s okay I guess.
Probably both.... they realized it was a bad design and left it that way so they could make more money....
Lol
Too many words.
Me first!!!
