“I can do a bit of welding just to get me out of trouble” one of the most modest (and false) things I’ve ever heard on you tube haha, long time subscriber and I know your trade isn’t boilermaker but you are a jack of all trades, an awesome welder, fabricator, woodworker, maker, creator and presenter, love when you post a new video. Another idea for a video would be a blooper video just so us mere mortals can see it doesn’t always go smoothly because it doesn’t for me ha. Cheers mate from down here in Victoria.

I’ve spent a 45 year career as a Welder/Fabricator, you taught me good stuff Scott! If a person wants to learn they can! You know what you’re talking about Mr. Industrious! Sizzling Bacon!

I've seen a lot worse welding from professional, and time served, welders. Your welding is great mate 👌👌👌 and I am envious ;)

A grinder and paint, makes me the welder I ain’t.

It was very gooď that you used different ways to cut steel. Your projects are very interesting one of a kind I like that. I am a welder of 45 years and see you are good on what you do. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos in the future. Cheers

This is a great video, explaining the process all the way through, and just the right kind of project for a beginner to grasp. Many thanks for posting this. Thumbs up!

Loved your safety tips you added to the video there. as a girl who has done metal work/fabrication work using welders my skin is also very sensitive to the UV light from them and I know how important it is to protect yourself from their effects. and yes..I have seen so many people on here and out in the real world, using welders and not wearing gloves. such silly people if they think they can get away with it without causing themselves serious injuries down the track somewhere. and dont put yourself down, your welding is top notch in my opinion.

Je suis un jeune soudeur, et je reconnais ton talent 👍🏻

Great video. Awesome tips for beginner welders. As ijessup says, welding is easier than sewing! Mahalo for sharing! : )

Good to see you again. Like always amazing work! Thank you

..... and for the real masochists out there ..... the old Eclipse metal hand saw with blades in the top brace ..... I remember it well ....... also remember a thing called gas, we used to use it in the dark ages to do welding. Great video and nice result.

Moin Scott, Klasse Video von dir und schon mal wieder was von dir zu sehen! Schon dass du Mal auf die Basics eingehst, das können bestimmt viele hier gebrauchen. Habe selber viele Bekannte die mir um Hilfe und Tipps Fragen. Du hast deine Werkstatt aber hübsch aufgeräumt👍! Bin selber in der Coronazeit viel am umbauen! Liebe Grüße aus Ostfriesland Und bleibt gesund

Brilliant work, as always. When I ran across your channel, I got interested in learning how to weld and this video really kicks that desire into high gear! Thanks Scott, and keep up the good work.

Very understated welding prowess, great welding Scott, and nice Vase/pot/thingummy

Awesome result Great tip with the vinegar mill scale removal. I'll have to remember that one

Excellent video with lots of valuable how to's and also some how not to's. Plus...anyone who has a Johnny Cash sign in their shop has got to be an alright guy. Thanks Scott, very nice project also.

Good video I remember this place I used to work at where we were loading up billets with hard facing wire for rock crusher anvils.... Always had to watch you didn't get an eyeful of ore when it were cooling.... You could hear em pinging...🇬🇧😒

Great video mate. The tips on safety were spot on, I have seen too many KZfaqrs welding in just a t-shirt and shorts and I think they set an extremely bad example for all people thinking about getting into welding. People really don't realise the dangers of the UV light given off welding, and the real dangers of getting skin cancer from it. Half an hour of welding is I've heard equivalent of being in the sun for at least half a day. I always use overalls and i even put high SPF sunscreen on my neck beacause I've been burnt from the reflection. So again well done for addressing this.

Really like the vase concept. Thanks for showing the way you weld a project up. Enjoyed!

This is a great project to practice the basics of metal fab..... great job. Always love when the notification bell tells me you've uploaded another video!!!

Brilliant job. I really like that vase. Amazing.

I get goosebumps every time I see that beautiful welding trolley. 👍👍😎👍👍. Thanks for the tips……. Especially ‘use what you got’

your passion and your ability to make you the best! thanks

Fantastic resource for people like me, thanks Scott

Muy interesante este video. Por empezar, las diferentes posibilidades de corte que admite el material. Lá "máquina de soldar" ! Un lujo asiático! (Expresión de admiración que usamos los argentinos), que maravilla! Tu deseño, un rompe cabezas ! Impecable terminación de la soldadura, perfecta! Y bueno...que te puedo decir? Quedé al ver todo...de barriga llena! Felicitaciones amigo!

Very good job with the explanation - great teaching video - thanks.

Nice work Scott. Funny how much goes into a video. Most take for granted

Thanks for making such inspirational videos.

Fantastic video mate. Really enjoyed all the techniques you showed . Think I'll head out to the shed .👍👍

Wonderful, as always. You really should think about putting the plans up for sale so folks can download them. Also, if you're getting tons of splatter and other mess when you're doing flux-core welding, it sounds like you might have had the machine set to Electrode Positive -- all the electricity going through the tiny little wire. Generally, that's what causes the problems because it's too much current for that little wire to carry. If you switch to Electrode Negative, the juice then going through the ground clamp, the weld bead will be a lot nicer. It also pays to have knurled feed wheels in the machine that can grip the hollow wire without a lot of pressure as that crimps the stuff and crushes the flux.

That is a right nice bit of metal you welded up there. Thanks for the primer, too. just got my first welder and need to practice more. CHeers!

Beautiful work, Scott! 😃 Thanks a lot for all the tips! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Scott, great video. VERY IN DEPTH. I wouldn't mind you doing an 'Instructional' video, every now and then. Of all your processes. Heavy duty sewing (canvas etc), restoration ( how, in what order, etc), woodwork (why that piece of wood, finishes). And of course metalwork. This one, was really at my level of understanding. It made me think, 'Even I could do this'. Truly loved this one. Thank you.

Good looking vase Sir!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

And he’s finally back!! Just to throw this in the mix, if the gas you are using is pure argon or helium or a mix of those it’s MIG (Metal Inert Gas), but if the gas your using is argon/co2 mix it’s actually MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding. 😉. If you use the right flux core wire mixed with pure argon gas you can get incredible welds that are very strong 💪.

Excellent video Scott, very didactic, also the work was precious, thanks for sharing your knowledge and time, Congratulations a hug

Great vase, great project, great tips ! Never tried the vinegar before but will now. Thankyou. 😊

Good video. Just goes to show what is involved in bespoke metalworking.

Man I’d love to have a shop space. Nice work!

Thanks for the welding tips Scott.

If you would move the blade guide down closer to your cutting surface it could help with the accuracy and efficiency of your cuts. Especially on thicker steel like that.

Great video , love that you can use your bandsaw in horizontal or vertical .

Thanks Scott looks great.

Enjoyed the show

Always great builds...

very nice! another hot tip: with a grinder you can cut through half the thickness of the steel and fold/bend the piece off. using the same technique you can make the entire top & bottom sections in single pieces. partial cut and fold it up, then weld the seams.

Amazing project

Fun project Scott-well done ✅👍

I've just bought a 1970 Land Rover Series 2a, so this is *very* useful :-)

If you leave the steel in vinegar overnight and you can wipe the mil scale off with a rag or a piece of 3m green pad.

Nice job thanks for sharing its very helpful

G'day, great little project and great advise.

Very nice ! Well done 👍🏻

Hi Scott, I still love your projects, even if I don't understand everything you say. No way to break the vase during a domestic scene 😂 You could make some nice metal flowers with LEDs to turn this vase into a lamp, when do you think? && Push blue !

Great explanation and project! Thanks!!

Great project and great job, as usual ! Maybe you could have added one little detail : the building time, from start to finish... not to discourage anyone to do the same, but just to show that things don't come all by themselves... toooooo much videos on KZfaq showing a 2mn job that in fact lasted for months... patience is also a tool you must have in the workshop !

Use an oxy acetylene torch around the top inner edge melting it as you go. Keep the molten edge/puddle even all the way around and it will produce a nice round surface with a bead.

Just about my level 😃 thanks for another informative video 👍👍👍👍👍

Great vid dude, and a cool lookin piece. Really enjoy these tutorial/tips style videos.

Love the vids Scott!!

Super tare Bravooo 👏👏👏👍

Thanks for the tips, one areas I want to get better at, my welding is like a Pav thrown against the wall.

Great work as always. One can only hope a wood lathe restoration could be on the docket 🤞🏻

Nice one. It's definitely better hearing it from you personally.

Merci pour cette belle vidéo (France !!)

Great video as always, Scott! Must say the 15amp rating on your welder caught me off guard since most 240v machines here in the States are 50amp minimum. Heck, my old Miller Syncrowave 250 is 240v on a 100amp circuit (guessing the newer DX inverter machine would be 60amps). Boy, wiring welder circuits would be so much cheaper if we had 15amp machines here!

Miss the videos. Great lesson! Greetings.

Great video! I’d love to get into welding!

This guy is a perfect welder ! :)

Nice work your projects are always great looking.

Thank you!

Good job 👍👍👍

Well done!

Clear coat be nice 👍🏽like the fabrication n different methods to cut thanks scott👍🏽🙏🏽

Me encantan tus vídeos..

Nice project. Would also be a good project for tig.... if i knew how to tig🤔😂

Tremendo!! 👏🏻👏🏻

i use Smith & Arrow 1mm cutting discs for the my 4in angle grinder, nice clean cut and i can manage the lighter weight easier for long cuts. can i suggest you get a leather apron for when grinding, and you can change the angle of the grinder shield for better access. another great video.

Those are not the welds of someone that “can do a bit of welding to keep out of trouble”. Modesty is a great trait to have and it also shows you know you have more to learn. Unfortunately there are so many armchair welders on this side of the video screen that think they know all and in reality probably make lots of bubblegum welds if they’ve even welded before.

Instead of vinnegar one could also use Coca-Cola or similar beverages. The phosphoric acid should do the trick with less smell

I love SketchUp very good software easy to use

The geek in me wants to see a full set of DnD dice in a similar style having watched this 😁

A little surprised that you didn’t cut the pieces so that they touched on the inside and left a ‘V’ to be filled with weld on the outside (come to think of it brazing instead of welding might create an interesting effect).

Hi Scott good little project mate , You should try .09 wire I find it quicker to weld with . I just finished building my power hammer and I used 1.2 wire man that wire is unreal to weld with . :)

Great video as always and a very cool design! :) I am just wondering why you use so much gas. I normally run about 10-11l with 0,8mm wire.

Cool.

Cool it looks like a giant lug nut, what finish did you put on it? It would look cool with kind of a case hardened finish, or a heat blue oil quench.

Really great project and video, Scott (as usual). If you were to use this as a vase, any suggestions on what to use to waterproof the inside to stop rust?

Tig is very good because it doesn't put so much heat into the. Metal unlike arc and mig

J'aime beaucoup le vase en métal et le bon matériel pour la conception quelle est la marque du plasma? moi j'ai du gys 162 et plasma gys 55A 230 v bonne continuation vivement la prochaine video

Great video Scott. I just bought a new DC welder and will try it on fluxcore wire as I have been welding with an AC fluxcore for what feels like centuries. I have the wire , so I may as well give it a try. Have you used fluxcore on DC? Do you have any tips?

Eu fiz uma peça igual inspirado em seu vídeo obrigado 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Hey Scott, do you think it's ok to watch welding in a video without a protective screen? Sometimes when I watch welding it seems too bright for my eyes. Occasionally the person welding puts something in front of the camera n it makes it a lot easier to watch. Good job making the vase n for the tips on welding. 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Hi Scott, love the project. Could you please recommend a brand and place to buy the "Good" blades for the bandsaw? The only place I've found with that size is Hare & Forbes and I'm not certain that they are the best blades.

OMG you keep making cool stuff, I'm still waiting for something ugly lol jk... As usual awesome work

check feed 7 and 21v :D

Yea , what rockwell hardness is that steel you are cutting in the bandsaw ? Probably dead soft , cold rolled at the foundry . Thicker blades seem to last longer . Thickness being measured from the tip of the cutting surface to the back of the blade . That is a half in. blade should be more than enough .

So are you considering to get a CNC or you can build one yr self if so I will be looking out for those vedio??

Mig with air brakes.

Hi You Need a tig welding machine 😉 Greetings from Germany Berlin Pankow
