Do you charge for the 3 hours you waited? I would, just wondering how the people you work with feel about that

The inside of the notch, where the angle is the tightest should be the last string in the weld for aluminum because it will need the most amount of heat and by the time you get around to it, your material should be well and hot for it. Depending on how much aluminum you do, make sure to keep a couple bottles of WD40 on the truck to spray down while running your abrasives. It will keep your wheels from getting clogged. So you'll be able to cut faster, grind longer, get a better surface finish before welding, etc. Another tip is keeping a jigsaw on the truck with a few wood blades. That will slice that aluminum super clean and won't shove abrasive grit into the material. Work looks good and nice rig sir.

by gravity found this channel, Anthony is a great guy, i have seen mostly all your videos and i have been learned a lot of tips, please continue been honest and for sure your channel will continue growing. thanks brother

I am the first one to have a portable welder to be able to hook up tig to. when i ordered my welder I asked tohave the hook ups and they said it could not be done because of dc current so i told them put in a switch to change to ac , they did it worked .I wish I would have had them sign with me on that idea so i could get royalty. did not think of it and now most all portable welders have the hook up for mig and tig.

Thanks for posting useful content. Motivates me to go out on my own.

glad to see the Fibermetal Tigerhood.....cheers...always push that aluminum ...never drag...use your hands as a wind block, I used to repair gated community gates....spoolgun is far superior to a stick aluminum weld....and much cheaper.hope this helps, Paul in Orlando

Love your work. Glad KZfaq sent me your way.

Thanks for letting us tag along! Congratulations on picking up that cash! I like the hard hat face shield combination! Serious ratchet strap strategy also. Those dump beds usually some DIRTY WELDING!! NICE JOB..COOL VIDEO all around!

Dude your channel rocks. Jusy finished my 1st semester in Stick welding and oxyAcetylene. I can't wait to learn mig snd tig and eventually have my own rig. I live in the pacific northwest lots of farms, mills, and some harbors along the coast seems their will be good amount of work. Showing love from California but I'm from Florida.

ITS OK THAT IS THE NTA OF THE BEAST

Anthony is the kind of guy that will look at your problem and instantly know exactly what needs to be done in order to fix it. Ive watched him think and I swear you can see blueprints and parts and pieces floating around his head like he's listening to wind chimes. Want to know the best thing I learned from this friendship? Don't leave home without your ratchet strap or your come-along. Don't even get me started on all the different hair styles and types of welding he does. SOOOO DREAMY.

I charge out the ass for aluminum work and don't warranty shit unless it totally new fabrication, but if they're good with no guarantee work you're golden.

looking good

nice job

On the first one, I don't like using a means to pull it that far. Even though it's welded, there is a ton of stress on that joint, and I believe it will break again. I like to somehow force it so it will be a lot closer on its own. But nice video, and nice job on the dump box. Keep the vids comin, and be safe.

I work with a lot of aluminum in greenhouses and the sheer amount of times I’ve had to rebuild my miller spool gun is insane

Nice bro

Doing those fully sealed welds on aluminum tubes, you need a vent hole or you always get a blowout from the hot gas needing to escape. Once it cools you can plug weld the hole.

Nice, good work and on the safety Don't understand why some grind with out the proper PPE. A small debri on your eye will ruin at the least that day.👍🏼👍🏼

METABO Grinders! I've had mine for almost 40 years, and it's never let me down! Hopefully the new style made in Japan are of the same quality??? Keep up the great work!

nice work. I''d also be interested to see you weld aluminium with stick, apparently it's really difficult. I'm a DIYer and enjoying your vids.

The only thing I like about working aluminum is how soft it is haha. Everything else about it is a pain

Must have either the Spoolmatic 30A or 15A, along with the WC-24 control. Nice combo

Great work. Ive used the spool gun many times welding aluminun how do the electrodes compare? working in the field you must adapt.

Can you tell me what you use to clean the aluminum. Also what cutting disc you used. And last what king of grinder disc do you use. Thanks

I have the same aluminum set up on a bobcat 250 with a 115 weld control spool gun it has a sensitivity wire with clip not what it does

Yes broski

Just curious how much did you charge for the first one?

Got any tips for setting up your spoolgun? I just run a little millermatic 212 off my bobcat for now. First time I welded aluminum was for my LLC but everything has held so far. Just struggle to make it look good I guess and the auto setting or reccmmended settings either seem junk or way to how just laying down a snail trail. No nice whip or dimes like the contractor trailer repair you did.

can you tell how much do you charge for that rep?

good work. wouldn't the blow out in the first job be due to the pipes not having a vent hole drilled?

The last bit of welding you talked about that you couldn’t fill it will have been because you have no breathing hole

Hopefully you a billing full rate for the three hours you were sitting idle.

Just curious why you don’t use a plasma cutter on the field when you are cutting that much metal. I know it saves a bunch of time. Can’t believe how cheap little air compressors cost now. Btw love your videos. Keep posting. :)

Chingon👍👍👍👍👋👋👋👋

Great job, what spoolgun are U using?

Looking good ! What settings did you end up running? I'm a noob to aluminum & spool guns

How do you(if you do) bill for a multiple hour waiting time?

What did you clean it with on the rag

Were you on the clock for the time you had to wait at the first job?

Do you charge them an hourly for wait time?

Just gobb on some metal and call it done. That's what most people would do.

Dude how do you keep getting work wow

Vent a closed area preventing blow out

Hello! I'm a student rearching welding, can I cite welding images in your video in my paper?

Turn up The argon!!!

I believe the reason you was blowing out on the aluminum tube was there was probably no pressure release hole in the tube and the weld area and internal atmosphere inside the tube was extremely hot and expanding, pushing through the molten weld puddle to the outside. If you will notice on alot of welded tubulars you will find holes. That is for internal atmosphere release when the internal atmosphere gets hot and wants to expand. BTW.... A skill saw with a carbide tip blade works GREAT for cutting aluminum plate.

I’m no expert but when welding on vehicles with computers always disconnect battery

Wont the first weld just Crack? Aluminum that has been outside needs a day in controlled environment to remove the Hydrogen build up in it. otherwise (or so I've been taught) you get H.I.C.

shit i just welded the ladder to the truck

You need a plasma cutter that's one decision I don't regret

All that soot on that piece of aluminum! 🤦🏾😂🙅🏾

super cringy
