This video shows a few welds on a thin tubing to repair broken mounting brackets. scratch start tig is the process voted on by viewers of the last video. This is just one side so comment below on how to improve for the other side.

This video shows the use of dye to identify a crack and I use 7018 3/32 rods to weld it up.

In this video i discuss comments left on my previous video and things I learned while welding this last project.

This video shows building something large off jackstands. There are also a lot of arc shots with changes made in the middle after watching another welderskills video.

Another episode of the JD and Brian V show. Another open chat about all things welding.

This video is showing the installation of the finished product from a previous video.

JD and Brian back with another discussion on all things welding. Leave questions for next week here.

This video is the last part of the pipe job I've been working on. This is the installation of the pipe pieces and water filter on the main 600psi airline. This video also shows the installation of the drain piping to the outside drain.

In this video i clear up some misinformation i had in talking about preheating aluminum. I also show another way to preheat aluminum.

JD, Brian, and Jody take member questions and share their experiences in this zoom call

In this video, I weld two identical pieces of pipe with two different processes. Both pieces have tig root and tig hot pass welds. One is welded with 3/32 7018 and the other is welded with .045 dsfc. Both pieces are welded with 8 total weld passes.

This video highlights how to fit and measure your pipe to match your prints. I am making 2 identical pieces made up of 3 fittings and 2 pieces of pipe each. (the phrase of the day is "no big deal")

This video shows a way to make a solid connector using both a quick connect and a permanent one. The video also highlights a rotary ground for pipe welding.

JD and Brian dive deep into welding hoods. Big thanks to Martin Rubenstein for asking so many great questions and to Brian V for cohosting.

This video is showing how I go from an overall length to smaller cuts minus the fittings, gaskets and other takeouts.

This video I'm talking about the steps I take in building an aluminum awning with Tig.

Follow up video with some corrections:

Quick video showing some differences between aluminum filler sizes on the same type of weld joint. The sizes are 1/16", 3/32", & 1/8" (.060", .090", .120") with just a difference of .030 between sizes adds up to big differences in weld appearance.

This video is welding adjacent. I was installing a handrail i fabricated and need to cut a corner off of a stone paver. I haven't ever cut stone this way and thought it would be good to share the experience. I was impressed how easy it was to cut.

A discussion with JD and Brian Vanderbeek on all things welding

Self Shield Flux Core Part 2

Self Shield Flux Core Fence Repair Part 1

This video compares Mig to Tig on a set of handrails. Tig is more fun to weld and is much more aesthetically pleasing but Mig is the best choice for most fabrication.

JD repairs a cracked car rim for $20

Rush job that came in over Thanksgiving in the Apex shop.
It's great to get a detailed print that also includes a cut list.
JD shows some basic fabrication techniques and also how fireball squares and magnetic shims can save time for everyday fab work.
Dual shield flux core is JD's go to process ...
