Part two is up and Live! Check it out! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bduhnJSa3uDMn2Q.html

Hi Captain. Your ability to adapt and learn as you go is great but even greater is you bringing us along on the journey. Your humor and dialogue with us as viewers always puts a smile on my face a makes me chuckle. That’s why I always look forward to seeing your videos. Thanks for being the dad and family man you are. Stay safe

Captain you have a vivid imagination and innovation, you put a smile on my face when I see your videos, thank you for making me smile and thank you for being you!!!

Your one of the very few who gets the like then watch. Lol. Always a great show. 👍

I was blessed to grow up with parents that had multiple businesses. I was running torches by the age of 8 and stick welding by 10. My weld and torch cuts at that age looked just like the stuff entry level college students do in their early 20s. Don't worry about how things look right now so long as they work. Getting better will come with experience and time. You are doing just fine :)

SCAFFIRE is how we pronounce it here in western n.c. have a great day.

B Newton wrote my comment for me 8 hours ago (what He/She said). Looking good Mike. Can't wait for the test run :-)

Good morning Mike! Are you ready for the "Ice-pocalypse" !?!?! Lol......Luv ya's from Kentucky!!!

Your ability to create is amazing!! For your work bench, how about a spinning bottom lazy susan type of set up?? as creative as I get.

Your doing a good job you will get the hang of it. Your learning more this way then have some one tell you how to. Some time pretty welds don’t hold crap

Bonjour Mike tu as fait un bon travail pas facile 🤗🤓😘🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵de papy Gilbert de France bisous bisous

28:32 Now that looks like a good weld.

Couldn't "get 'r done" without that torch! Not having to deal with bits and hole saws on that thick of metal is what would put a smile on my face🙂

Looking good. Fasten your seat belt and go . Good video.

Mike Tim “Cotontop” has a video that he uses a tool that allows him to cut circles with the torch. It is pretty cool

more fun than woodwork you stick bits on when you cut too much off, have fun.

Look at you already doing the Texas Tig.

Hello sir. I saw an old IH tractor there. I like old tractors. My old Volvo T22 also has 22 hp, but it is from 1949.

Cap’n, you gave my dentist a run for the money today… he is always telling me that another tooth needs to be drilled and filled. Or worse, come out. You put in a whole lower set without anesthetic, blinding lights and warning that I need to take out a second mortgage! I’m gonna send him a link to this video… he can learn a thing or two! I like the design. Thanks for the peek at the Whoppa Choppa and beauty of the 755 showing off her new tail piece! Stay warm bud… it is 11f here with blowing snow. And it’s coming your way!

Some folk drill a hole when they want to do a plunge cut, it just gives the flame flow-thru. I would fasten a piece of chain to each "lock-handle" so they don't get lost.

Let the locking handle point down gravity will hold it in place...Great work!!

WoW! You're raking up the views now, brother. Few are more deserving. And, this is a project that will be concerning me soon once I move out of the city and into the country here in Nevada. Thanks.

It should do what needs to be done it looks good

lookin good captain

Good job captain😊

when you move from a stick to a mig welder you well love it then to a tig

Welds are getting much more dime like and the fabrication is solid. Weld penetration is the key. Continuous welds are stronger due to the minimizing of porosity and contamination.

Hey captain build a flat or angle iron spot to rachet strap a box to put in stones some of d.p. heavy chain or 80lb salt bags for ballast

looks good but I would weld a chain to attach those pins to the drag so you can't lose them

I like the way your new toy sings for us.

Capt, looking 👍👍👍👍👍😺🤗🐺

Your workshop looks like mine...good job working with what you have.

Good job! I remember when you where going to try and buy one.

Hi Hi Captain good morning from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲. Let's go have some fun 😀😀

Hey Mike, it's looking good man.

Two suggestions, add a piece of light chain to your pins for the scarifier so you don't lose them and get a rosebud for the torch, heats a lot better. It's a work in progress just like life. Stay safe stay warm.

Good spot for a Lean To !!

Lucked out with the weather. Loved the video

Keep your torch tip closer to the material. The inner blue flame should just touch the material.

Keep up the good work.

Very nice weld on that l beam ! !

Cannot wait to see you use this on the property, tools are a man's best friend....

Hey Captain Great to see you getting the viewers involved . Hold this for me LOL Thanks it made my day

It's never how good of a wealthy you are it's how good of a grinder you are

Should bevel the joint on the large piece of I beam in order to get bigger welding surface

Great job Captain!!

Looking good, U have some great ideas. Have fun

I like your design and want to see how good that it actually works .

It's a beast !!!! Will definitely dig dirt that's for sure ** it will work just fine. Might have to tweek it a bit but will do great. Now make me one lol !!!!!

You're the Bob Ross of homesteading🤔🤔♥️😁😁😁👑👑

You are a quick learner on the welding,those welds look good to me.

great video, great content, keep those video`s coming.😁

It's the outside😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOVE IT😂😂😂😂

Great video captain 👍😎✌️ 🇺🇲👌

If you put your weld on the side you want to pull it , it will help with your clamping ! Welds pull towards the side you weld it ! Put a piece of sheet steel on the ground to catch the slag ! Slag on gravel , stone , cement can explode ! You're doing Great !!

Where can I buy a "Captain Kleeman Fabrication School" t-shirt. I'm sure he taught me 10 years ago. I love the work and your awesome true personality.

You're a welding/fabricator genius. MBTS got nuthin on you!

Another great one. The day you stop learning is the day you don't see the sun.

Looks good. But you need choose us first LOL without us none of this would possible. Keep up the good work.

Captain a little tip with your torch. Move faster get your tip closer and turn your torch down doesn't need to be so hot. With it being so hot and moving so slow your cutting in front of your tip and its trying to weld back together behind your tip this will make your cut cleaner when you're done. Ask Man Behind the Scenes about this he can show you in person what I'm talkin about. Also 7018 is a little over kill. Yes it's really good rod but 6011 or 6010 would be better when you're still learning how to weld. Advice coming from a professional pipeline welder of 30 years

Very nice Mr. Kleeman 👌

A guys fabrication skills are coming along nicely.

Great video as always. I really like the fact that you don't mind showing your learning process including your errors sometimes, it makes it very educationnal and authentic!

Great job! Thanks for sharing!

Captain Kleeman "Somebody left the roof open." 🤣🤣 Me "Somebody left the rear hatch open on the Subaru!" 🤣🤣

Good video,keep doing what your doing.nice working condition.kudos 😎😎😎👍👍👍

Keep up the great video

Get some short bungee Cords to hold the handles from vibrating loose

Amazing what a guy can do with a welder, cutting torch and a grinder. Good job

Get you some 6011 rods for tacking your work together it will be much easier to start than 7018

Just keep practicing and one of these days you'll be like Man Behind Scene!

Great job Captain, Great the way to take the time to do your projects and take the time to spend with the Kido's Great job. Where's the pup haven't seen it lately.

I would think about some kind of keeper pin for this pins that lock the tines up and down. Looks like vibrations could cause that thing to bounce around.

Keep up the great work I always enjoy your videos

Your channel is awesome, just remember to go back and look at your old mad mud dabber welds and those were the days.

Great job Mike, I love how you built the majority of it out of repurposed material.

Hi Captain, just like Mike your able to make just about anything!

good work

Really looking great man!!

Hi Mike You are doing a real good job. Your shop looks great. Way to go repurposing. Ed from Chicago

Great job! There's nothing like O.J.T.! When I started farming I quickly learned there were things you could not farm without: air compressor, cutting torches, welder and 4 x 4 pickup! With my old Ford T-20 small square baler, I'd bale awhile, run to the shop and weld on it for awhile! But, I ran 20,000 bales through it and sold it for more than I paid for it. One thing about that baler: it never missed a knot! Thanks, Mike! PS: At 7 am this am, we had 1/8" of frozen rain on the ground. I could not stand up on my gravel drive. Be safe! Lee

welds are looking good

Captain (Oh Captain) I have a small confession/admission. I do hope that you will not think less of me BUT, not only am I staying in the Truck I am also staying in South Florida! Not sure I could even begin to handle that weather there bud! (And don't think I will be fooled by you sneaking that nice weather back in there. I am ON to you, Bud!

Great ideas for a road drag. If you get a piece of material the same height as you need the torch it eliminates the jerky up and down motion and you can concentrate on cutting speed. I watch a channel called I C Weld, that guy is a master!! Lots of great tips and tricks if you watch what he does. Keep up the great videos! I have a JD400 with a Brantly 420 loader that I’m resurrecting, hopefully more videos to come.

Great job !!!!

You are having to much fun with your builds, I am so jealous . You are doing a fantastic job. Great video, Love watching. Great job !

Getting better all the time. I love the commentary. Thankfully we're here, so you're not talking to yourself. People might think you're crazy! 🤔

Might want to put a hitch pin to keep handle from falling off or small chain attach it

Very good job!

Looks like you're having fun Mike. Guys and their new toys. PS: that filter is working well. Thanks for posting.

I like your way of using a ratchet strap and torch to bend the steel.

Ya should try find a old Fordson tractor a bit more HP and a grade blade fun old tractor to use cheers from Australia

20 yrs ago I bought a tri square for cutting metal. The tri square for metal is 3times as big as for wood,a brass ruler and magnets for helping hold it place how you want it with a sliding piece that will go up against the metal for a square cut. The brass ruler sits 3/8" to 1/2" above your material your cutting and a cutting tip slides along it very easy. I think mine was around $80 when I bought it. It is one of my most used metal tools. I also bought a 4' one that came with 2 tri square magnets. Drag looks good.

Your positive attitude Mike is absolutely amazing sometimes I really wish I could be as positive as you are sometimes

Lookin good Capt.! Practice Practice Practice, that's how you build a skill-

I think a lean to shelter would be a nice project.

Mike, I haven't read all of your comments, but I was wondering if the pins will vibrate out some how. Maybe you will cover that in part 2.

if you have a big gap you can do texas tig which is taking the flux off of 1 rod and using that as filler rod to weld over with the stick welder to fill the gap

Geez Mike: your gonna have to put a sign up: Kleeman’s machine shop Watch Dirt Perfect will want one, lol nice job Mike

Part 1 thumbs up
