So true...... I believe they people that complain or whatever have no idea what the point is. I build a lot if my tools now and it's the satisfaction you get from doing it yourself and yes you get better and better each time. True people who see and appreciate it are at times amazed because we make it better,stronger, etc... great job.

Actually I would argue that the video encourages some very dangerous practices like grinding on the side of a wheel. Very dangerous and recommended never. Sharpening a bit using the side of a dremel cutoff wheel??? This guy gets thrown out of my shop.

OLD idea. That is why I have one that was my fathers.

I once used a dolly to carry a dolly

mind blown

It occurs to me that set-screws in the nuts may not be necessary. If the lash of the nuts on the thread of the longer adjustment screw thread, measured as angular free movement of the nut perpendicular to the nut's axis, approaches 0° (zero), then the tightening of the business end of the C-clamp will cause the two nuts to go off-axis, in opposite directions, causing the internal and external threads to bind -- possibly dramatically -- , obviating the need for the set-screws. IOW, the orientation and position of the vise-grip _may_ be set (locked) by the act of tightening the C-clamp to the anchor point. This would introduce a degree of freedom to the vise-grip -- up to 180° -- in a very simple manner. However, the friction at the tip of the adjustment screw, inside the vise-grip, becomes relevant in this arrangement. I doubt that it would be easy to turn the screw once the tool is adjusted for a reasonable grip. Put another way, once the vise-grip jaws are locked onto an object, the adjustment screw can't be turned. The locking mechanism of the vise-grip removes all axial lash on the threads, raising the friction to the point where it can't easily be overcome. Depending, conflating one of the add-on nuts with the internal thread on the vise-grip ( i.e. adding only one nut to the longer thread of the adjustment screw, and building the C-clamp out from that _and_ from the vise-grip's body) would, I think, guarantee that the C-clamp adjustment would secure the whole tool to the anchor point. However, doing so forces the vise-grip to always have the same orientation to the anchor point. In order to simultaneously provide anchorage _and_ the ability to re-orient the vise-grip arbitrarily relative to the anchor point, you'd need to go with two nuts on the threads of the suggested longer adjustment screw.

Yeah are you get much better penetration with stick welding

I suggest you go back and take a closer look at the welds. One side was ok. The other?

I see the comment section experts have arrived. No reason to watch videos, you can save time by just heading to the comment section for those that really know how to do something. Funny thing is these experts rarely have any posted videos to back their comments up.

Bill at Yellowdog Welding how long have you been stick welding

william oster- High school metal shop class, 1970. Followed another trades path for 26 years and after retiring went back to metal work. The stick welding came easy to me as I learned to weld with oxy/acetylene. You?

Old news.

You love the way he turn?

You are not a real pole then lol

ok im only half pole lol

So might the drimel cutting disk

The drimel cutting disk as well

Yea, they have been making these for years. Most welding tool supply houses sell just about every vice-grip configuration you will ever think of.

Wayne Rainey sweet, I'll check my local welding supply house, I've never seen anything like this at a home depot, lowes, harbor freight, sears, etc. welding supply spots probably have specialty equipment I'm not familiar with. I'm a hobbyist so i primarily buy from big box stores and the good ole' Harbor Freight.

I'm not sure if you wanted the permanent one or the interchangeable, I found the interchangeable on Amazon.com. I'll look for the fixed version too. I like this the best as you can use many types of vise grip, grip on and crescent locking pliers. Hope this helps... found the other one, second link pricy though. www.amazon.com/Grip-Grip-Holder-5-Inch-10-Inch-Locking/dp/B001G0MGT6/ref=sr_1_86?ie=UTF8&qid=1514670515&sr=8-86&keywords=Clamp+on+locking+pliers www.amazon.com/dp/B001G0MHAY?pd_rd_i=B001G0MHAY&psc=1&pd_rd_w=u1tLj&pd_rd_wg=YV7Qn&pd_rd_r=751bd225-edaa-11e7-a7d3-cbff9683ad35&ref_=pd_luc_rh_sbs_01_01_t_img_lh

C clamps are cheap weld one on. It won't take till 6:48 to do it.

Wayne Rainey Thanks for taking the time. I appreciate the links as well.

Dill Wiggle you sir, beat me to the punch line.

Bahahahaha, jajajajajaja

Dill Wiggle 11 minutes plus watching this if you were like me you skipped to the end and thought the same thing i did

Lol . It was for the views

Yeah, he would have done many dollars worth of wear on his tools to make this.
