Thanks this will help me a lot 🎉🎉
Wow Kevin this looks amazing 😁👍
Not sure why such a talented artist would want to dub in annoying, obnoxious crappy-ass "music" into their video which effectively ruined it. Just sayin...
Thanks for the video. I had this feeling like it was narrated by Kermit the frog
How do you roll the end of a sheet to accept a piano hinge pin? I don’t have a roller or a brake
If you could make all the "How-to" videos in the world, this country might run a little better!! 😊
This is way different, I like it Kevin 😁👍
Good to know
Miss the workshop videos 🇮🇪
A question I cannot see answered about these magnets is how close can you weld to them. Heat destroys a magnet does it not? I've got some smaller ones than yours for car body welding only 7cms long. Do you know how close I could weld up to them?
Could be many things. Loose hub bearings, leaf springs and or equalizers. Loading the heavy to one side more than the other. Check the hub play, jack it up and grab the tire at 6 and 12 and rock it, if it moves then tighten up the nut.
Which is the best rod for welding stainless 11ga. and thicker with a Lincoln ac 225 trusty tombstone? I can't find the answer anywhere. I thought of you. I want to build a wood fired pizza oven. Maybe a pipeliners grill from stainless. Thanks for all the great videos. I been welding for over 30 years and still learning. And still not too proud to go ask somebody if me and Mr. Graves can't figure it out. God bless and work safe brother. 😃
Its empty. Shouldnt there be a sculpture ready for delivery to a customer?
Thanks Kevin for explaining in non tech. language
Bad tread on that front tire.
Still holding air but damn!! When I finally saw this?!?!?
That is a perfect example of a tire brand known as a “MayPop”…at any moment!
Great info, very helpful thank you!
Very welcome!
That front tire is missing tread!
Almost the whole way around!
Can’t put down the ramp with the rear tire there? Unless it’s high enough to clear. That’s the only possible thing I noticed
Nope, ramp works just fine. Tire is not in the way.
Don't see one
zoom in on the front tire.
Gorgeous Kevin 👍😁
Glad you like it
I got to say man every time I have a question with metal art or looking up things I'm learning.. Kevin's videos always come up and I got to say this guy is so great I am so thankful for him and his brain and his wife asking him what he's doing
I am happy to help and share the things I learn in my work. Always a fun time!
No way! Are you really in Arizona?
Right here in Phoenix Az. My studio is near the airport. My contact info is on my website. kevincaron.com
@@KevincaronSculpture wow l, so awesome, I’m in buckeye! Just tried using a plasma cutter after watching your vid. I’m blown away at the speed of this thing
@@KevincaronSculpture your work is unbelievable
I used to live in Buckeye on Apache road. Right across from the mobile home plant. I was the foreign car mech.
@@KevincaronSculpture wow so cool, seen your page and your work is so amazing
How did I get unsubscribed from this amazing man
Someone hit the wrong button I guess.
@@KevincaronSculpture they used to do it to me when my channel was huge
Ok I found the machine where do you get the square roller baring
Search for "Swag off Road Dies" and you will find them.
@@KevincaronSculpture thank you sir I want to get back to welding I have some ideas in mind. I enjoy your channel! When I started welding I referred back to your videos and that’s a big part of how I learned!!
Where can I get one of those machines
Awesome !!! I love you two
Thanks for watching and posting!!
I don't weld very often, but when i do, I've found that DC tends to be a bit easier striking and maintaining an arc, while AC has a huge advantage of eliminating arc blow, especially when welding at high currents, such as with 3/16" and larger diameter electrodes. Not many people know this, and for those that don't, the largest stick electrode available is ¾ inch diameter, 48 inch length, manufactured by Weldmold, the process is a variation of SMAW known as massive electrode welding, or flood welding and uses currents as high as 2000 amps DCEP with a disposition rate in excess of 60 lbs/hour. It is mainly used in foundries for tool and die repair, as well as repairing crucibles.
I would love to try that!!!!
My shop uses fume extractors that are part of the welding gun, so the fumes are extracted right at the source. Extremely effective.
That sounds like a much better way to do this. Have to get a look at that setup someday.
@@KevincaronSculpture I brought Cal OSHA into my shop for 3 days and tested various things, nothing compared for keeping my guys safe
I stuck the tungsten and I heard my everlast machine make that grounding noise that my mig would make. I knew it couldn't be good for the machine! You gotta start some where though!
Yeah, the machines really don't like to be shorted out. More practice for sure! Thank you for watching and posting.
I want to cut 12"x12"x0.045" stainless steel 304 into 12 strips of 1"x12", with clean edges, and no noise or dust. Can a sheer do that cleanly on both sides of the cut?
All depends on the shear you are using. A dull blade will make a big mess as well. But that is what I would reach for to do this job.
Hey Kevin, Whatcha doing?
Sometimes I let the boss play!
Lol
veľa zdravia
How do these variables affect consumable life?
More amps. less life.
Stumbled on this video, and lo and behold, now I know how to finish a project that's been sitting on my workbench for two years! Thank you! Happily I have a TIG welder, which I didn't two years ago.
Glad I could help!
Thank you
You're welcome
Nicely explained...I would like to add my tuppence worth..Being a retired welder I thought i'd ditch my 2 old transformer migs.( 3 phase and a mono ) i'd had for about 30 yrs and buy an inverter type to save space and electricity and enter the 21st century... and I guessed I wouldn't use it that much anyway... Well now 5 yrs and 2 dead inverters later (not cheap and nasty ones either).. I'm looking out for an "old school" second hand machine....Just sayin...
Thank you for watching and posting. The new machine are not for everyone, I guess.
We blew ours up at my old job in one day
You guys are hard on the equipment I guess!! I have one that is 14 years old and still going strong.
@@KevincaronSculpture vegas summers welding gates in the middle of summer could melt the inside of a fridge with enough time but pretty much lmao the miller kind of stood up to the heat but Lincoln 140 no problems ever still running strong
dang, when i weld with shade 9 i see it as a shade 13 on the vid
It took me a few days to figure out which shade works the best for me. Your eyes are different.
💯 Thanks for the Lecture !!!
Hello fine Sir, I’m wondering if I could trouble you for the contact info for a one Stu D, O’Gere! I just loved the wardrobe choice in this film and I wish to have him come do a make over on my welding closet. Thank you for your time! Finest of Fine Art On Fire!
LOL, I will have him give you a ring up!!!
Looks like fun!
Each arch is about 130 lbs. Going to be a big job to move them into the correct position and get them welded together. More photos to come.
Should just bought an old fork lift
I did a few years after this video was shot.
Awesome Bud! Lake Havasu 🌞 Az
Thanks 👍
Kevin, I have a side by side off road cart, but the seats won’t slide far enough back for me to sit in it without my knees against the steering wheel. I’ve been researching the cart, and would like to extend the wheelbase by 12”. Will welding the round tube frame like you show here be strong enough? Or should I slip a separate tube inside the extension for additional support?
Use the separate tube in a tube. Leave a 1/8-inch gape so you can weld the inner tube as well.
Spring Clecos
Thank you for watching and posting.
Clecos used for hold parts together for riveting, mostly commonly used for airplane construction.
And riveted boat construction
Sheet metal work is the worst. I'd rather rig flight controls from scratch than that shit
Right up there with cleaning the grease pit!
Colecos holding it together
And doing a fine job at the same time.
Or you can just search the internet for clecos.
Yeah, but what fun is that!?!?
Have a 7 foot metal tube. It's a leg of a Uline shelf. You put the two pieces of plastic that lock together and set the shelf down over them to hold the shelf down... So I have one of the legs. I put the metal foot on. Boss changed his mind 3 weeks later. Wants the wheel casters. So I take this steel 6 foot rod and another rod that is a foot and a half or so long... I take the smaller one and drop it into the tube where it sits against the inside of the metal foot. I drop the larger one in behind it. Strike it and the larger hits the smaller knocking the foot out. Fucked up and hammered it in BESIDE the smaller rod. Banged and hammered forever. Can't get them out. Any ideas?
Cut your losses and start over. I think it would be easier to get some stock and just make a new leg the way you need it.
