- Well.... It was a good run...I thought I was being incognito with what I've been up to in my garage at my house.... But a neighbour who was sharp enough to put together what I've been doing in my studio for over a year had to bust me on it.....

Please can you not play music when talking. Makes it difficult to hear. Thanks
Why was your arc green?
Never mind I know why, I don't know why I didn't think of the fact that the arc is BRIGHT and cameras need tinted lenses too.
Neighbor owes you about 10 barbecues. Or several hundred dollars. This is not âhelp the neighbor outâ gig. This is hardcore charity.
Great setup for a garage - not wanting to tell you what to do, but that shelf right at your eye level would be perfect for a LED light strip and so you wouldn't have to deal with that portable lamp thing...
when i moved to this neighborhood one of my neighbors heard my compressor running , I am now the "Oficial Tire pumper upper' of the entire street.
đđđ
You alpha as hell! You protect the whole street âșïž
Damm your neighbours must be hmmmm I don't know what I'd call someone without a compressor?
@@mattymccolgan9453 id say they might be looking for an opportunity to snag something if they start showing up when your not out. such was my luck.
I couldn't let that fly. It's neither expensive nor hard to work a compressor. Beat it deadbeats.
Things to keep secret... having a lathe, having a pickup, having a welder, having a chainsaw...
Owning a trailer and having a trade......
You forgot, being an asshole. Pays not to advertise that one.lol.
@@yuk-erkmckirk9277 I find being openly an asshole is like repellant for people that are not worth my time.
@@NavySturmGewehr I find being nice polite but not a push over is best. So many times I had great opportunities presented to me for being a well liked person. When you are an ass people tend to overlook you when they have something great to share.
@@sebastiencharette6637 It's served me well, so how does that old saying go? Don't mess with success.
First time seeing your channel and just have to say WOW man you know how to lay a bead. Incredible work!
ElementalMaker!
My thoughts exactly.
Bro looking forward to this channel
My thoughts exactly
but does he also know how to lay a pipe?
Itâs like youâve got decades of experience (which you may) but you donât look older than 25. Some serious talent, my dude.
Best compliment ever!đ I turn 38 next week! So yeah been welding for almost 19 years now.....man time flies...đ»
You do realise as soon as any guests visiting him see the fence posts, they will ask him who did the work and you'll end up with a queue a mile long at you garage door.
Charge em baby! That queue will go down quick
Good problem to have if you have the bandwidth...
Yeah like who would want a bunch of eager customers from your neighborhood and social circle, looking for custom work and willing to pay or trade services. Sounds awful, I'd much rather live a life in total solitude and only interact with people online.
Oh...wait....
Can't he say no
@@silvermediastudio Customers is ok but too many will eat into your personal projects/work and you'll have to tell them to wait
Not only can you really weld, but you can articulate what your doing and thinking like no one else I have seen. True master.
I thought you were going to say something about HOA. I'm glad he just wanted some work done.
Right? I taught the same thing. I was hopeful that the neighbor wanted some work. This dude is really happy with what he does.
Really good tig welding, I'm a millwright that does alot of stick and mig and my company sent me back to school for tig. I like stainless steel dc tig welding, 316 is nice. Aluminium is tricky, but once you burn through the aluminium oxide it gets good if you find a rhythm. Extremely hard to master, you make it look easy.
Yeah when my neighbor found out that Iâm a contractor he asked whether I can remodel his kitchen, just a quick remodel on a Saturday afternoon. Told him my remodels start at $10k, havenât heard from him since.
A cousin that had small landscaping business and a dump truck told me about another cousin wanting him to get him a load of topsoil for him. Cousin A told him it would be better for him to just call local place as they lived 40 miles apart. Cousin B just didnât seem to understand. Cousin A told me it would be cheaper for HIM to call somebody else that was closer rather than drive his dumper 80 miles. Some people just donât get it.
@@michaelszczys8316 or he didn't care and wanted to keep the money in the family, some people don't think let alone ask.
@@rrtsduf No one wants to drive a load farther than they have to.
And you wonât be invited to the summer bbqâs
@@michaelszczys8316 oh he got it. He was expecting your cousin to haul it for free.
Neighbour watching this: "Jeez dude, you said it was no problem..."
lmao
Frđđ
Best comment ever!đđđ
I don't let anyone know i can weld. Its always a rusted out exhaust or an irreparable rotted out frame lol.
Haha yes. Get that stuff away from međđđđ
@@PacificArcTigWelding what about a classic Mercedes that needs a few patch panels lol.
They only made this color a year and a half
It's more $$$$ in my pocket when people know I weld
@@coochieslayer22 gfu
I'm retired now but they would bring a lot of garbage for you to resurrect then don't want to pay you more than ten bucks to do it.
Great tips...
Loved ur ending i just helped 85 yr old man load his car at home depot other day. He looked so tired just getting his purchase to his car.
He was so appreciated which made my day.
Cool art work
Loved seeing the actual amps used on each part of the process. Thanks.
Awesome. Another little feature I like to do, seems to help communicate a bit for people watching:) I appreciate you checking it out! Cheers
@@PacificArcTigWelding Seeing the actual working amps is super helpful for someone learning to TIG, thanks!
CZcams: hey bro, wanna see some bloke weld some posts for his neighbour?
Me: uhhhhhh.....yes.
Haha pretty much. No idea why it was recommended. No idea why I watched it. The Algorithm has clearly hacked my brain.
@@Brew78 I watched some TIG welding things on youtube yesterday, and volia a youtube video about TIG welding... just saying.
@@dtiydr Right, but what made that first welding video show up? For me, it was probably based on general tech videos, like maybe the one day builds from Tested. I've never specifically searched for welding.
@@Brew78 Yea the algorithm can connect similar things so other but not fully relative things all in the hope more commercial money get in their pockets.
These are some high quality and beautiful welds:) You raised these poles value by 400% easily.
Haha awesome thank you:) cheers
Dusty; my name is Eric. I am a welder fabricator for a large heavy equipment company here in Saugerties NY. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, you have been teaching me a lot about the welding I thank you for that. Mostly I thank you for sharing good vibes, like helping others in need and just simply spreading love and kindness. The world needs more of you. Thank you.
Never would've thought I was THAT into welding, but your skill is undeniable. Subscribed.
Cheers and thank you for checking out the vid! I appreciate it đđđ
im so glad that I found this channel. Your kindness and empathy are infectious!
Awesome! I appreciate you checking it out! Cheers đ»
damn that's the best looking post capping job ever
Ha thanks. Iâve seen some people so amazing cap jobs gotta stay sharp to keep up! Cheers my friend!
Be glad your neighbor asked you to do this because this was on my recommended page and it sounds like it got on other, your super talanted
Guy needed fence posts and got 4 art pieces instead. I bet those are now in his living room - not front yard.
Money has been made making the video and I hope the posts weren't made for free either.
Yeah! Or the neighbor see's the welds and starts to pile up the rest of the fence in his driveway to get the rest of it welded.
@@ravenbarsrepairs5594 Ah sometimes its good karma if you help a neighbor out for free and usually will come back to you at a later point. Although I agree as this was alot of work. Im sure he was paid for his time
Exactly
@@cwatson42785 Yes. That's so true.
âPretty nicelyâ ID BE LOSING IT IF I LAID A BEAD LIKE THAT đ
yep, if i laid a bead like that i would still be running around the back yard screaming 6 months later
Just a pointer, the technical name for the frosty cleaning lines, when using ac is called cathodic etching!
Oh I like that. Iâll remember for sure! I think Iâve actually called them âsnowplow linesâ before on my channel toođđđ Iâm pretty loose here with the theoryđ»
These are among the best welds I've ever seen
Thanks! I appreciate you watching !
Even these "common" welds are works of art!!!
Got a friend who has welded for a living for 40 years. Much like you, he is an artist with his work. My brag on him is he can weld ice to butter....How do I break the news to him that he is now #2? Fantastic work, excellent video and I see binge watching all your stuff this week. Thanks for showing you skills!!!
Just remember that if you help your neighbor......no good deed goes unpunished!!!! đ€

The thumbnail for this episode caught my attention. Kudos to you for creative and well filmed episodes. I liked and subscribed to your channel. Absolutely beautiful technique. Dusty, I am floored by your positivity and creativity and Im looking forward to a long and enjoyable relationship with you and your channel. Brad
Brad! Thanks for the kind message! I really appreciate it. Thanks for checking out what Iâm doing here on my channel, Iâm having a blast with it! :) Cheers to you my friend!
lol.. did you neighbor have any idea the quality of welds they were gonna get from asking a garage welder for help?? Great looking welds my dude.
Haha thanks Benny:) Happy to get it done and help:) Thanks for watching:)
Only down side of this is he will brag to his friends and they will want nice work done, kinda 2 edge sword of doing a great job
Really good. Really good
Beautiful welds... I stumbled on your channel and it's great.. I have a MIG welding and have been kicking around the idea of getting a TIG welder for awhile now..
@@DoObs They donât usually understand that part! Thatâs why they didnât take it to a welding shop.
That is far better than the over priced aluminum fence posts they sell at the big box stores, this will actually hold up well and last forever.
My neighbors are mostly my relatives so they knew when I got a new welder. They were bringing over jobs to be done before the welder was out of the box!!!!
True words. My father always said to give more than you promised, and that's how I've lived my life. I've done so many difficult, complicated welding projects for others, that my own were often times relegated to the back burner. But, it's a nice feeling helping someone, I agree.
Not sure why i got this recommended 11min later i'm really impressed , Those are some AWESOME!! looking welds!
Nice! I thank you for watching! I appreciate you checking it out đđđ
Ha ha !! Me to Iâm retired and live in the country with about 15 distant neighbors but Iâm the official welder up and bike and lawnmower repair man ! I now work for fresh fish,wild game, homemade pies ! And everything else that my friends grow or hunt ! Had I known of this blessing I would have never gone to work for money !! God bless America !
Good Lord, those are beautiful welds! WOW!
I appreciate that:) Thank you so much for checking out the vid!
I thought your neighbor was going to bust you for errant radio frequency waves interfering with his tv ,I had this problem till I got my tig setup properly grounded
im so used to watching carpenters or self taught diy-ers welding that this is a first for me to watch just how much of a beautiful art welding can be with the hands of an expert.
He could be self taught or diy but he did it himself 20 years ago and hasnât stopped
This was a dope videos Dusty. It was nice to see how you handle a random job and also see what your process is. You should definitely post more videos of jobs you get, as a beginner this is really cool to see.
How come people like you are so smart, I would of never thought of that. Old retired welder, have fun and teach more.
man I watch your channel from the first videos and you are an ARTIST! I am a civil engineer but I make my living by making things out of metals (copper, brass, iron, stainless ... its complicated) . People that do not have any experience with welding cannot even imagine the level of finesse ,knowledge and accuracy is needed in order for someone to achieve perfect weldings like yours (me myself i m not even close to your level). I just wanted to mention this. Thanks for the great videos!
Also i train myself in the mirror every day to say ''NO'' in the best possible way to people asking to do a 5 minute job. lolz
Haha I need to practice that as well...đđ I appreciate the kind words very much, and happy you enjoyed the channel!
I think your the best welder and artist! Your work is SICK! When I was your age I used a cutting torch on an old chrome wheel to make an "I love you" thing for my GF.
Who would down vote this? Wood workers?
Yes they "wood" đł
@@outdoorfuninthesun2393 boom. Lol
Damn Redditors
Termites. đ
Defo not. I'm a woodworker here via the You Tube algorithm. I hope that I can appreciate skill in many disciplines. And this man IS skilled...
I used to do aluminum boat repairs on weekends that I went to my parents' beach house to go fishing. I setup to leave right after work on Fridays and did the repairs overnight. The most boats I had at once was 20. For simple repairs like cracked welds and gashes were generally 25 per inch. Rarely did the repairs go over 50 but most were so impressed, they usually gave Me more.
This would always be enough to cover a few cases of beer, lots of bait from the shrimpers and whatever else. Was a great time for me until hurricane Ike destroyed the house.
Refreshing to see a younger Person that has an amazing skill, Drive, Dedication and a Great Heart for people.
The World needs a couple hundred million more people like you.
Thank you for sharing and making this day better.
I LITERALLY JAW DROPPED WHEN YOU TURNED ON THE LIGHTS WTF THAT'S GODLIKE WELDING
Another killer video!
Thanks so much man.
I got my RedSeal thanks to your flashcards!
I just got a job building stainless and aluminum handrails and fence posts like this.
I start tomorrow :)
Thanks for the help my humble homie!
Worrrrrrd!đȘđȘđȘđȘ
You Sir do quality work. Your attention to detail and the artistry of your welding is apparent, Bravo!
I totally get why you keep it on the down-low. I've been welding for 4 months now and been hit up a few times already. And I'm not even any good! lol
Haha youâre popular already!đȘđȘđȘ
same XD. ive been a welder for a fabrication shop here in sweden for almost 3 years. we make everything from fueltanks to steel girders for buildings. but when i started i got asked what i do for a living at a family reunion. i told them i was a welder and emediately got asked to help weld on an A-traktor(basically a car that is rebuilt to only go about 30 kmh and can therefor be legally driven by someone with a moped licence at 15). i was like, ill have to think about it. but internally thinking o god no i have my own projects i really dont want to XD.
Omg..me too. đ€Łđ€Ł
Still better than "I'm a sysadmin" -- "Oh, can't look at my washing machine? It's been acting up lately."
I just found your channel... When you said you do Tig welding art, then your pieces popped up on the screen, my jaw actually dropped.. duuuuuuuuude.... What a friggen talent you have !! Perfect welds alone are extremely impressive.. But then in the form of art work? INSANE!!
DUDE!!! This is my first time seeing your channel. Fascinating process. I have never seen Tig welding done, and I have never before seen art done that way. The brief views of some of your art in the beginning of the video made me follow and subscribe. You do beautiful work. Incredibly intricate and heavily detailed. I don't know that was even an art medium. I DIG IT!!!
Thank you for your courtesy towards your neighbour and not having blinding welding video. The use of the green weld glass over the camera provides a better idea on what you are seeing and looking to see. It also is beneficial to people like me who enjoy creative videos, but are light sensitive. I usually place my hand over the phone screen and just listen while other CZcams creators weld. Thank you.
This video was a random recommendation. I'm glad youtube showed me this channel. I am now subbed :D
You made your neighbors day, you also made them appreciate you every time they look at your work.
They always want you to weld something but freak when they here the price
And they always ask if you could JUST do this, don`t understand it take hours.
Haha. Everyoneâs looking for a deal;)
Uh, HEAR the price.
@@dboboc autocorrect has a mind of its own lol
@@dboboc bro can you also stop people writing "to" when they mean "too"? Drives me nuts..
Fairplay matey i'm propper old now,
and in all my day's I have never seen a more controlled weld in my life,and believe me i've seen a good
bit and done a few miles myself.
Lucky you.You have found you vocation.
Good looking stuff dude, I'm sure the neighbor will be stoked. . I'm pumped for the next vid too as usual!!
Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down?
"A": JEALOUSY!!!
That was an awesome video! I like your positive energy and style. Keep it up!
Cheers Shannon! I appreciate you watching:)
Not surprised you have flatland bikes around. Precision welds and precision riding!
Hot damn can you weld! Nicest welds Iâve ever seen, this is beyond skill, this is art
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching:)đđ»
@@PacificArcTigWelding youâre so welcome, Iâve got lots of family on the island. Hope you all are staying safe, much love from Alberta đ
Iâve been told if I want to learn to weld start with stick it will translate better to other types later, would you recommend the same?
@@TheMasheenist hope you dont mind me jumping in here.... no, if you want to learn to tig weld, then learn to tig. the other p[rocessses aare nothing alike aside from the fact you melt metal. the whole "learn to stick first" thing is usually the old guys wanting you to learn how they learnt and "earn" your way up. its silly and pointless.
@@KevinSchunn You might have a point! The college I went to required stick before tig and I learned some welding on my own first with acetylene, then stick, flux core, and then tig. Learning tig first will teach a person patience and cleanliness and prep. That will translate to the faster processes where it is harder to move at a slow pace to really watch what is going on. After 20 years of welding, I never use stick and hate flux core but must use it sometimes. Tig is my first choice for many jobs, but some are better suited for mig or spoolgun mig. It all depends on what type of work you do and where you do it.
@@KevinSchunn oh for sure I appreciate your knowledge. Let me state Iâm not wanting to become a pro welder, I love woodworking and would love to be able to add metal working to my projects or building things around the shop. Being able to weld some basic mild steel or aluminum, do you think TIG is the best for this or would you go with a different setup? Thanks for the replies
Nice and good. Good to see the pre-weld cleaning. Removal, or scoring, of that aluminum oxide layer is real smart. Sets up the weld. The welding is nice. Very good. Establishing that puddle is important.
I'm glad that I stumbled onto your channel. You do beautiful welds. I can stick two pieces of metal together , but I am no welder. I have been wanting to try to learn how to weld aluminum. It was a pleasure watching .
Never in my 43yrs have I ever wanted to learn to weld but I WANNA LEARN NOW!
Gives a whole ânother meaning to âdropping dimes on my neighborsâ đ
Ok that's pretty clever
Like buttah... VERY nice. I hope he was a GENEROUS CUSTOMER!
I was once MIG welding on a trailer in front of the shop when a neighbor walked by and saw me. Oops.
âI didnât know you could WELD!â
âWell, Iâm not too good, but I can stick metal together.â
...and now I wait.
YOUR WORK IS AMAZING! Laying dimes. Beautiful work! TRULY ART!
Very interesting your comments about welding over the top Dusty. I'm going to try that at work. Also, your foot pedal control is amazing 1 or 2 amps difference over the weld.
Steady feet!đ Let me know how the overhand goes!
I love how your other videos have like 10 or 20k views, and this one blew up to almost half a million. I don't what CZcams is doing to you right now, but I enjoyed watching every second of it! Subscribed!
Not the typical quality you get when asking neighbors for help lol
Awesome welds, you are the only one I have seen to show your output during welding. đđ
No one:
Not a single person:
CZcams: Here, here's some guy making aluminum fence posts.
Yup, just happened to me today
Hi Dusty! I am Matt! Absolutely excellent video! Will totally send anyone interested to watch! Lots of GOOD info straight forward well explained. Liked and subscribed!
This is like the Bob Ross of welding
đđ€ŁđHappy, perfect clouds....
Had a dream about welding last night, woke up and bought a cheap starter kit. Eastwood AC/DC 200 tig. I've been watching your videos since I placed my order. I feel super confident with the tips you provide. I've never welded before nor know anything about it just diving in head first. Hopefully everything arrives by Sunday and I can get started. Thanks and also new sub.
Also first time watching the channel. Super super clean welds. I went to 10month welding school and I hate tig. But I love this
That like having the only truck in your entire family. Everyoneâs always as something to move or tow....
I hide my trucks as best as I can lol
See I just start charging. When they say "Well you always help family" my response is "Well family can help me pay for the truck huh?"
Itâs always good to have a great welder neighbor.
I know nothing, but damn that looks like a "pretty stack of dimes" as my uncle would say
Those posts are now a work of art wish you were my neighbour đđđđ just found you loved this canât wait to see the real art. đđđđ
Omg for a second I thought ( where the hell does this guy live that he canât even weld at home) wrong kind of busted đđ
Same here lol
I thought he'd had the homeowner's association show up, hands-on-hips, to remind him that sub-clause 2.3.11.35 says you can't do fun stuff.
Actually where I live in my city welding is a prohibited home business. Now he might work around this if welding goes into his artwork and only that artwork generated income you can have an art studio. But if welding for a customer or even possibly his online program might run into the issue as that business needs a permit.
Might also get busted for storing pressurized containers improperly, or not having the appropriate fire safety equipment on-hand. Usually it's not the welding they just you for but the details.
Also no one, NO ONE wants to get a visit from the fire marshal for law enforcement purposes...
Same
I feel ya man, I am a plumber and I get the same jam. When I was an apprentice, my master told me " When you learn a trade, for the rest of your life, people will need you more than you will ever need them." Man has that rung true, life of a tradesman. Good job bud
and THIS just made me rethink my welding lol
It's nice watching someone do what they love.
Stood in the garage a while back chatting to the neighbour
Neighbour: Oh hey, is that a welder
Me: No it's uhh a plasma cutter, yeah a plasma cutter, definitely not a welder....
I have been welding and doing fabrication since I was young and I have helped many people, now I have taught other people to weld my life is less hectic, the one thing I do like about Tig welding is it's the best way to become ambeedexstrus, nice beading as well you are good at it đ
I feel that, whenever somebody hears I studied computer science they want me to fix their computer đ
Dude probably had no idea he had lucked into the Michaelangelo of heliarc aesthetics when he knocked on the door. People look at welds from a purely functional standpoint in general, but when someone who does it all day explains what their life work is about, there is a lot to it. Thanks for the tips.
If you want to be âbustedâ you just need to do some welding with the garage door open. Then they can be nosy much easier haha.
Haha yes good point. Shades will be drawn from now on đđ»
Donât forget a welding blind though. People will look right at the light.
@@txdocprich_8404 definitely!! Wanna show off without showing off lol
Tig welding and breathing in anodized aluminum like that without the garage open or windows does not sound ideal lol
Helping your neighbours is a good deeds! You are a nice guy.
Oh man, you've opened Pandora's box, I see planter boxes in your future!
đđđ
Beautiful you are the man thank you for the show great job your neighbor should be very happy đ
I thought I could weld, now not so sure. You'd be forgiven for thinking a welding robot did that.
Always nice to see another left handed welder
When someone says âCan you weld?â... always say noooooo
You should do a video on your set up. How you have your welding space set up. That would help a lot of us !
The moment I quoted a charge for a simple job my friends and others just walked away.........in this World there is always someone who think everything is for nothing.
You have to charge what your worth! If everybody could do it, they would do it themselves!
After your first Pass... I nearly fainted. Looks so beautiful bro. I'm a beginner here, but can't wait to keep practicing to make my TIG quality look like that right there!
Your nosy neighbours will be on youtube listening to you say what nosy neighbours you have.
đ Hopefully theyâre cool đ»
Yep, I just got a truck and a miracle happened, now I have quite a few friends calling me up asking what im doing on the weekends, (Always say "I'm working" until you know what they really want) not to hang out but to help them move. This stuff is a reason why I miss having a garage.
"theyd better invite me over during BBQ season" hahahaahaha
đđ
Wow, your welding is out of this world. I need to go practice after watching that.
