The awning was built inside a shop using mostly tig, but for installation, a spool gun running off a generator helped move things along
Aluminum Penetration with Brad Goodman & Jody Collier
An assortment of different arc shots to help you learn by watching.
This video deals with some of the most common mistakes when welding aluminum Tee joints and other aluminum fillet welds.
Thanks for checking out this video! My goal for this one is to help you with those hard to reach inside corner areas where your torch somewhat fits. I show you one of the ways I like to get into these spots to make the weld. I hope this one helps!
In this video, we fabricate a lubricant tank for the CNC Router

WelderSkills Live with Johannes. In this zoom, Johannes discusses cast aluminum
Here's part 1 of a corroded head repair. These things can be pretty intimidating at first but with the right steps they can be fixed.
Here's a look at a pretty standard repair job that comes into my shop along with a few other modifications.
*WARNING* Working with fuel tanks can be extremely dangerous. Be sure to observe all proper safety measures with working with fuel tanks.
Today we're gonna look at some repair work we did on some .500 thick aluminum parts, share set points, and techniques.
The first video of a two part series where I weld an aluminum dog waterer out with the Miller Dynasty 400. The second video coming soon I'll do the same part with the CK MT 200.

This is part 2 of a series where we weld out the same waterer that I welded with the Dynasty. This time we're using the CKMT200. Lots of tips, arc shots, and instruction.

In this video we weld a 1/2" Aluminum plate to a .090 vertical plate. Bonus footage of a 3/4" stainless plate being welded to 11ga
This week we were commissioned by Kye Kelley racing to build an Aluminum TV cabinet for his car hauler trailer
In this episode were gonna weld up some aluminum pie cut tubing, .065 wall thickness
In this video we're gonna look at crater holes and what actually causes them, tips to prevent them with arc shots.
The Electrode Positive part of the AC arc is what breaks up the aluminum oxide layer on aluminum and allows the puddle to be clean and flow out well.
so let that cleaning action work for you before puddling dirty aluminum.
In other words...Dont puddle too quickly
In Brad Goodman's video on full penetration aluminum he used a Miller Dynasty that has all the features like waveforms and amplitude settings.
A member commented that he would like to see a similar video using a much simpler machine like the CK MT200.
I used a #5 clear cup (they film better) with...
Brad Goodman shares some tips on how to hold your torch when TIG Welding
How to make full penetration welds on aluminum butt joints
Brad shows us how to keep trash out of our welds.
Word for the wise... if you get a call for a job and they say it'll be "really quick and easy"... Well, you probably already know.
One of the biggest struggles for new aluminum TIG welders is learning to feed TIG wire. In my opinion, it's one of the hardest parts of aluminum TIG to get ahold on.
