1st youtube video attempt.

admin

Here is a short video I made today. I have been wanting to attempt to make some videos for youtube and this is my first attempt. It is a walk through of my shop, which is in a terrible mess. I have been cleaning out some stuff and getting rid of a bunch of junk there is several piles of trash and clutter that I have not had time to put away. One of these days I may get it organized but I doubt it. Enjoy but please be easy.

Reply:Nice to see your shop. I only have a garage. Also, I like the Dutch oven stand. About the HF band saw. I got one ,hated it til I saw the threads on here. It was only the the NUT behind the switch. I replaced the blade but, what I whant to know is; can you TIG the band saw blades back together? I read in a book somewhere that Silver solder works best. I don't know. TIG or Silvaloy?
Reply:a good looking shop. mine is also a cluttered mess but I just about know where everything is. Insaneride I have tig welded quite a few band saw blades together and never had a problem.
Reply:Thanks guys. I have never tigged a blade but would be willing to try.
Reply:there was a thread about tigging blades on here or it was part of another thread but yea it can be done.  tig it then grind down to smooth,did not mean to steal the thread

Reply:Make sure that the cutter you are using isnt rated over 1500 rpm. Abrasive blades spin around 3500 rpm. Carbide blades 1500 to 1700. They are not supposed to be used on a saw that is for abrasive blades. Could cause a catastrophic failure. I appreciate everyones comments on the video. I want to do one on the Thermal Arc 181i. Not much out there other than factory videos. I want to do one with thoughts and reviews from an end users perspective.

Reply:Bhardy, nice video. Your shop reminds me of mine, right down to the engine on the stand! Tell about the building itself. It kinda looks like an enclosed carport building. Ive often thought that would be a very economical way for a guy to have a welding shopSafety 3rdGump
Reply:Its a metal building. I bought it from one of the carport sales places. They offered two different models. One that is blue printed and meets code specs. It has thicker material and the studs and trusses are closer together. Was about $1200 more than the one that doesnt have the blue prints and thinner material. I went on and bought the one that was to spec so I could get my building permit. The county I live in is a real stickler for permits but other counties around dont push the issue so much. After having the dirt work done, pouring the concrete, all the electircal done, cost of building ( installation was included), and buying my air compressor it was just under $12K.
