      @garyjones2582 yup. And BTW, I totally agree with you on that Lathe comment. I miss my old machinist, Paul can do anything on a lathe.

    Don’t blame you for switching things up and going with the 5x5’s.

      Yes, while the numbers are theoretical, the travel gain with micro-stub 5x5s will be a great benefit!

    Great explanation of the parts you’re choosing. Nick sure does make it look easy. I’ve been welding for years on things like metal buildings and ships but you can’t tell by looking at my welds. My eyes aren’t that great any more and I tend to shake too much now which can make an ugly weld.

    • @thebinderbuilder
      @thebinderbuilder  Před 25 dny +1

      @DIYWilly WILLY! Yes, Nick does make it look easy. Homie is a master chief at cooking bacon for sure. Someone should make him a "Master Chef" t-shirt! Lol
      And, don't discount yourself. You're doing some impressive work on that build of yours!

  • @robertstuehrenberg5719

    A good way to work on your welding consistency is to practice doing some really long welds like that. You’ll start to get the tempo down.

He's healing up from a back thing, and I'm actively working on the cage and interior... well, actually, I'm on the mend from a Flu from hell that hit me early this week,... but I'm going to finish up the work I've been doing on the interior. That'll be the next few videos... there's a lot happening around here... stay tuned!

      @timswitzer792 Tim! Sup buddy, sorry for the short reply on DM. Don't overthink it. Starting is the best practice. My cage-to-body welding is kicking my butt currently, but it's coming along. It's solid for sure, and that's what matters.
      As for stickers, t-shirts, and stuff. I've been playing on Kittl with some designs. I should have pulled the trigger a couple of days ago, but I move at the speed of cash. Stay tuned!
