That's all I was trying to figured out here... the welding was seeming odd. Full disclosure... I'm not an experienced welder. But it just looked weird.

Mighty, they probably wouldn't even let you finish the test, they'd be too busy laughing you out of the shop if you pulled that spotweld nonsense!

It would have been so cool to watch them TIG... or at least lay down a solid MIG bead right?

My thoughts as well. Spot welds are not structural welds. Maybe good for furniture or a fence.

I'm not certified and even I was horrified.

True that! I like the grinder he's using, but can't tell what brand it is.

@@jeremyd6823 probably Bosch

@@jeremyd6823 at around 7:09 you see the petroleum coloured body, it is a Makita!

Use a grinder everyday for the right situations and it's speed, power, and accuracy with an 045 wheel will follow...and a little editing never hurt a video

@@jonathanlarsen4177 he usses more then one grinder one is a bosch and one is a makita don't really matter what brand it so he doesn't have to change discs as often

😂

I'm a professional welder. While tack welding makes no sense here, they will hold for decorations. He's pretty good with his grinder. I wouldn't trust those welds to bear large amounts of weight.

its so hard to lay a bead. hahaha

Measure to size, cut to fit, paint to hide... ; )

I use his joints... they work 60% of the time... all the time

Amotherfreakingmen to that!

Yeah I can’t stress how much I hate those welds.

@@vandebe1 you can't hate what's not there. sorry i didn't see any welds. those things are just glued and about to spring back open

How can you tell?

@@AGPMandavel no heat into the metal, no protective gas, needs constant flow not tec tec tec you follow? then grinding the already weak welds makes it worse.

"Grinders and paint make me the welder i ain't!"

Right? These are the most pointless cuts most of the time and there was not a single pipe in the video, all just box section.

I was saying the same thing your called a welder not a Tacker and if you are going to show complex welds show how to set up your equipment so people get the right idea. I've been welding for 30 years and the setup is one of the most important part so your weld is a true weld and not subpar tacks.

i think its just a video effect,🙄

You should put up a video to show them how it done dude. 😂

It’s irritating isn’t it…all the metalworking “hacks” on KZfaq and they always seem to edit in tack tack tack with their mig then show the finished product to look like a tig bead then they grind it down flush…🤦‍♂️. I’m like, ok there went all the strength of your “weld” buddy (or string of tacks to be more accurate).

Your not going to get invited to be a guest.

Well, not so much the welding part tbh

They are weak. (I have a degree in fabrication and gave been welding for 20+ years). The beginning and end of a weld is the weakest part. So the multiple tack method= lots and lots of beginnings and ends. This method will fail any actual inspection in any industry

@@dannyberg4294 buddy,hope you help me with a question. I'm a furniture maker and sometimes i fabricate metallic legs for tables, metallic bookshelves etc...I always groove V the edges where I'm gonna tack/weld them and after that,i usually grind it with 120grit flap disc and 200grit orbital sander to make the welding spot invisible. Regardless of start and finish welding spots that u already said that are weak, is it weak in general because i grind it to make it as flat as possible?... I use a stick welder,not mig or Tig. Sorry for my English,hope to understand what i mean.

@@dannyberg4294 is he doing it this way to stop it burning through the tubing, or just no idea?

@@dannyberg4294 🤣🤣🤣🤣 degree in fabrication Yeah and I have a degree in making coffee 🤣

@@GoogleUser-yj1wy “Google user”… maybe… idk…. Use Google 😉

You get rolled material. I've been doing structural for 20 years and I've never seen a rounded corner like this Etsy level nonsense.

This is bad welding.

It would help more to actually weld the metal up, first, instead of just a row of spotwelds which do nothing but waste welding wire.

"GOOD VIDEO, GOOD JOB" ?!? He can't even run a bead!

No. Spot welding is just bs, those welds are weak af

@@batziii8745 yh I suppose mate good point

yeah, ideas aren't bad, but it's not a good welding method

Bad influence to new welders

Nice _looking,_ sure. Not good welding. Just for being pretty. I wouldn't even trust it for a stair railing! And if anyone tried this kind of welding at a job? They'd be told to pack up their toolbox before the day was out.

No, definitely not welding, for sure!

Он молодец это без спорно, но кроме круглых углов ничего хорошего. Это металл, а не древесина, если привалило то будет держаться. В последнее совсем ерунда, арматура будет ржаветь, если конечно не защищать её каждый день как солдат бляху

О, русский комент! Друг, подскажи, что за метод сварки у него? Вроде обычный полуавтомат, а как-будто точечная или холодная сварка

@@herrmajor17 видимо с углекислотой варит

@None Yabusiness they are doing that because either they don't know what the _~bleeping bleepety bleep~_ they are doing or they don't know how to set their welder to weld that thickness of metal. Or, I suppose, it could just be a junk welder that can't weld decently at any setting.

Robert, it's one of three reasons. One, and the kindest possibility, is that they just have a junk welder that can't weld decently at any setting. Two, that the welder isn't set properly for that thickness of metal. Or three, they just don't _know_ how to weld properly. A weld needs a solid bead in order to be even remotely strong. This spotweld stuff is the farthest thing from a good weld and still be done with a welder. And then grinding all of that right back off? They might as well have caulked the meeting surfaces. It's embarrassing to watch, frankly, as someone who was a welder for 2½+ decades.

He's running a series of tacks instead of laying a bead

@@OnceHopefuL I was being kind - as others have noted, it’s poor technique and a poor weld.

@@robertlyle6277 XD I didn't read between (). All I know is if we tried any of that we would get fired for Taking to long
