Can't beat a bit of workshop housekeeping, especially when welding is involved Max.

It's nice to knock off a bunch of smaller jobs and make the list smaller. I have to agree about having the bench behind you when operating a machine. I always try to set my machines up like that. I also like to have a tool board at each machine to hang all the tools that specific machine needs (wrenches, parallels, chuck keys etc.). I wouldn't have been in any shape to run a circular saw this past Saturday either as my neighbour came over and helped me burn my wood/empty my beer fridge until 1 in the morning. Ran my lathe with no problems though. Ken

Gday Max, one thing I lack here is bench space and a decent welding table, that was a good fix on the bottom shelf to, great job mate, cheers

Nice. Square tube fabrication. My favorite.

Thanks for the video Max. Have a good one 👍🇦🇺

Great mix of work, love the notched table, I am on vacation!

Nice to get those odd jobs done, nice job Max.

Those forks look good enough for a few more seasons, maybe longer LOL

Pretty steady welding hands for a man of your "experience", Max.

Table fit like a glove, eventually. Classic lol Max, we all do them, thinking too hard. Best when nobody's watching, though. Cheers Tony

I have been doing housekeeping also. It seems to never end. Surprised you are still in sweater weather. It is getting cooler here.

very good job friend MAX

interesting video max, thanks for sharing. cheers ben.

G'day Max Yep work is never finished. the bench turned out well, with it even fitting into place. LOL The shop & everything is looking really well.

Thx for sharing

Also have mahogany double layered bench for lathe, changing that for steel & mahogany benches. Although mahogany is best on boats. Gloves protect hands from welding rays more annoying but finding the right gloves might protect. I like the large garden gloved Only have stick so make shore I weld opposite corners for framing, even just put 20mm finish taks on , I weld for purpose and anyway a set of 20 mm welds will save time. Like the coat , prefer no instructors cane as use to cop it at tech drawing Do like cane furniture. You could set a job up especially on a faceplate for a progressive video. Many machines so the ones that aren't be used alot could be perfect for a longer set up. Hex stock is great for making stud removers.

Another awesome video max, from across the ditch.

Enjoyed!

Looking good Max love your shop I have a 1200 ft shop but keep it pile up awfully bad I'm retired and used to repair mining equipment and electrical work inside the coal mine your welding makes me want to get a job going but seems like I can't get to one job for something else going on keep them coming max love to watch them

Luv your tig-ing consumables

Really enjoy your layout of jobs and technique of completion. BTW, the device which you refer too for cutting strait lines on plates and slabs is called a "radialgraph" here in the States. Used many of them in a Steel Mill I worked in after leaving college. They were quite expensive and failed often from excessive heat exposure; but were easily rebuilt. Thanks again for your time and thoughtful explanations. Also shop looks great.

Good job max you never have enough benches and there always full with something

Thx for the vid.

Lookin good !!

Far out Max, g'day mate, really enjoyed this one, nice to see a general fuckin about in the shop 👌 I tig for the sake of it, just to keep my hand in, and stock up on ground tungstens too lol

That’s some nice wide lumber Max.

*_Kudos on being able to freehand that tig torch as steady as you do. No way I can do that._*

Fun vid, Max.

😀 great vid lefty get a hair of the dog into ya, cheers MAX

Hard wotking man you are Max ...Great shop update ENJOYED!

Hi Max, i have a lot of respect for circular saws, stay away from them when hung over. My Son is looking at the new Unimig Razor, apparently has AC for welding Aluminium. About 2 grand in Perth.

Track torch is what we call straight line cutters here where live or a pattern cutter if they cut shapes

I love tig welding but it’s definitely a lot harder especially for me because I have very shaky hands and I’m very good at dipping the tungsten. It’s so frustrating when I’m trying to do aluminum but I just deal with it. Nice welder by the way! I was gonna get the Everlast with the knobs but I ended up getting the Lincoln square wave 200 because my Lincoln mig lasted so many years. What a mistake that was! First one the keypad didn’t work, second one just stopped arcing so they had to give me the upgraded board. They knew they had a problem

Nice tig welds. Great video

I improved the air cooling, put in a proper filter where the Louvres are. Also upped the size on the cooling fan. Grit from the workshop sorts out the electronics too bloody fast in my shop.😊

Hey max on your Tig practice your right hand I'm the opposite I'm right handed but getting better with my left. The weld look good Cheers. Or as I say My best Tighe

👍👍😎👍👍

Nice table max, everything is coming together, great video, keep'um coming..

👍

shop looks good max

Left handed welders are weird! 👍

Max, you REALLY need to wear gloves on both hands. With TIG particularly because there’s no smoke which partly shields from the UV in MiG and stick. You get more UV therefore from TIG. I know that a lot of people seem to think that the worst you can get is a sunburn, but that’s not true. It’s melanoma that’s the problem and it’s a serious problem. There are at least two people on KZfaq who had problems with it from welding and both had skin removed from their arm’s and one is on cancer drugs from it. Even if you don’t weld regularly, it’s additive. Damage doesn’t go away and heal. I’m very careful when I weld. As we get older the damage comes more swiftly. I know this is preachy, but I hate seeing good people having bad problems. That’s a really nice piece of lumber. Do you know what it is?

Max the lumberjack, who knew?, Checked shirt required though, lol

Don't know how you can tig with no support on the torch hand. If I don't have support on my forearm or wrist I just as well clamp the tungsten in the vice and pull the trigger!

beer dont bother me. I dont work on guns, electric or climb ladders next day. ha

Blimey, Aussie English can sound odd to us Poms. I was stumped by your 'Seco' tooling - then I worked out it must mean 'second-hand' (like 'arvo', etc.). Then you showed us the manufacturer's label. Doh!

Hello sir! I have acquired a JFMT 530 x 2000 lathe but did not receive any documentation with it. Would you happen to have a manual and/or a wiring diagram for yours that you'd be willing to share or sell a scanned copy of?

Altogether too modest about your welding. It would be good to know your settings though - current, voltage, electrode diameter, wire feed etc.

Buy a new car and you will no about Electronics . Kit from up north
