      Thank you so much Scott. I love this comment. At some point I might share the details of her passing. It was quite spectacular (for those that believe). As I was driving home alone I was saying a prayer out loud and asked my mom to look over me. Just as I finished, a shooting star came down what looked like on top of my house. I was totally floored! I have no doubt she is looking down on me and PAIN FREE as you pointed out. God Bless you brother! Your entered

    My condolences on the loss of your mom Brandon. I have an idea what you're going through, as I lost my mother to cancer way back in '95, and I was in a dazed and confused state for months afterwards. I just turned 63 on the 30th, and I still think of her daily. Keep up the good work with your informative videos my friend, and remember, your mom is always with you.

    My condolences. I too lost my mom to cancer. That anniversary is coming up. I’m a cancer survivor so I count each day a blessing. May you be comforted by the fact your mom is no longer suffering. It’s still hard because they take a piece of you with them.

    Another great and informative video. So sorry that you lost your Mom, such a difficult thing to go through. Seems like you turned out pretty good so she must have done a good job as a parent and i'm sure she was proud of the man you turned out to be. That's about the best gift a child can give to a parent. The plasma cutter is pretty impressive, great for any curved cut or any intricate work. I'd love to have one. Please enter me into the drawing. Thanks again for the videos and the giveaways.

      @BrandonLund  Před rokem +1

      Thank you so much! You just made my night about your comment of me being a good son and her being a good mom. Everyone knew including all our family and her friends that the sun shined and set on me in my moms eyes as her only child. She always bragged me up to everyone how proud she was. So I would brag to her that it's because "I'm a big deal". I actually have a video where I say this to her LOL anyways, she found a shirt with the saying "I'm kinda a big deal" and she gave it to me a few years ago. A little while after my wife and I found a shirt that says "I'm a bigger deal" and we gave it to our 4 year old grandson. We all got a kick out of it. Thank you for the smile. I always knew my mom was proud of me. Thank you for bringing up this fond memory for me. Your in brother! Good luck @jspayne001

May God Bless you sir and I know your mother is watching you and would be so proud of what you have become. Keep up the great videos, I look forward to seeing more of your content.

      @ntaft0904 thank you so much! I still have a lot to learn about Christianity. I said to someone not too long ago that when I read the bible I have no idea what I'm reading. They asked me "do you pray to understand it"? I wasn't prepared for such a simple answer but sometimes that is the answer. We as humans tend to make things more complicated than they need to be. I just feel so fortunate to be part of such a great communty. Thank for watching and commenting and your entered!

    Thanks for the educational video Brandon. After the shared family grief and a whacky year, you deserve a break and some better news. Hope this New Year brings that to your future. Back on the equipment and process subject, a tool like the plasma cutter does come in handy . It can allow better results than a disc grinder or band saw. It also can cut where other tools cannot access. I would gladly place one in my shop.

      @@BrandonLund it's clear to me that you are a CZcamsr that I can trust to deliver factual information. I assume that you took the time to assess the other videos on youtube and took notes, because you were precise in the delivery of ALL of the necessary information. I am an aspiring CZcamsr and your channel is a good model. Sidenote: nitrogen makes up 78% of the air we breathe & the reason why the edge of plasma cuts will skate a file is due to that nitrogen, which nitrides the steel as the forced air blows on your cut, in direct contrast; the oxygen is 21%, and oxygen + around 2200f turns solid steel into an explosive fuel. That's why sometimes cuts shoot sparks for a short time. A lance is a good example of this principle. Aloha 🙏

I got a chance to use his Miller the other day to build a firewood rack that he never got a chance to build. And the remaining material is going into my welding table. I’ll forever have him in my garage.

    Brandon, My heartfelt condolences and prayers for You and yours after losing your Mom recently. I lost mine at age 24 in '79 to an accident while I was stationed in S. Korea. She has always been a part of my thoughts even after this long when I am now Older than she was. Thanks again for an informative, detailed video. I'll be sure to also check out your Beginner's video on Plasma cutters if I can. Thanks again and Stay Strong. -Jake

    I'm a 75 year old service disabled veteran that lost bot parents many years ago. I am sorry for your loss and wish the pain and grief diminishes with time. Once retired I started doing some metal art with a secondhand mig welder. Apparently some people like my creations so I'll continue to design and weld up new projects. I'd obviously would like to be the recipient of that plasma cutter but as they say..." Let the best man (or woman) win!"

    First of all, please accept our deepest condolences for the loss of your mom.
    Second, kudos to the subscriber that donated this plasma cutter and to you for paying it forward and giving this away after your review and demonstration.
    Third, I agree with your assessment that the 120V plug should be changed to a 240V plug. Other than that issue, the PLC55X seems to be a very capable little cutter. Very rarely would a small shop, DYI user need to cut thicker material than 1/2". Thanks for the link to the valuable chart for setting proper amps and air pressures. This is another informative and educational video. Well done Brandon. 👏

    First my condolences for the loss in your family. 😪
    A d.i.y. help for flash burn I have used for years is a drop of mineral oil in the eye before bed. Chilling the oil a little is also comforting.
    Great program again. I have noticed in the past ,teaching youth how to use cutting torches is very discerning to them once they understand the volatility of the fuel mix. Learning to cut would be a breeze with one of these without danger of SERIOUSLY injuring oneself from burns or explosions.
    Hope the manufacturer's take note about the proper male plug install before someone gets injured or a fire results. Excellent call Brandon! Now, if I can catch Santa before he goes on vacation I can convince him him that a plasma cutter would save some pain and $ by the addition of one of these to the shop!😁👍👍

Torches have their place but this is just so much more convenient
