Very Detailed Workbench Video

admin

Hey everyone,I put a video tutorial on here about a month ago and got a terrific response from you guys. I also asked for some ideas for future tutorials, and the general response I got was that people wanted to see tutorials for stuff that could actually be used in the shop, so here it is. Be sure to watch in HD, if your connection can handle it http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=nm_iLclyhvsAs always, I love feedback. Do you think the tutorial is too long and detailed, or not detailed enough? Let me know! Also, more ideas for future projects or just general comments are appreciated!Thanks everyone!
Reply:Very nice beginner fab work explanation.  More detail on the welding itself would be nice, but that was not the focus as much as how to make it happen.-DaveXMT304 with: 22A Feeder, or HF251 Hi Freq DC TIG air cooled
Reply:Great video. Keep them coming. I would suggest that you show how to measure the diagonals to check for square as well.For additional ideas, I would like to see some pipe coping. Pipe T joints of same diameter pipe, and smaller pipe coped to larger diameter.Glenn.Sign on East Texas payphone: Calls to God 40 cents......it's a local call...
Reply:Thanks for the comments. I terms if the video, do you think it's too long? I'm going to try and make the future ones a bit shorter I think.
Reply:Thats good. I would like to see a video that teaches more about controlling the heat distortion. A while back there was a good video from Tony welding where he built a simple cube frame out of square tube. He went over the how to keep it square. Like tack order, placement, weld order, weld direction. that video was the best i have seen at explaining the basics of preparing for, and controlling heat distortion. Even just a short simple video of you welding a perfect 90 (i mean PERFECT) out of square tube would be good. Even something as simple as that actually takes a lot of skill/practice and knowledge to accomplish.www.performancealuminumfabrication.com
Reply:Nice video ! I would suggest :- keep start of video as is with details on what will be done / parts /sizes etc. maybe consideration of why you came up with that choice- include as much info on order of steps taken / what to do/ how to do it (squaring,tacking / how much in which order , measurement etc.) - i.e. what can be learned.- make all "duplicate work" (eg welding 4 legs / 4 sides) into fast motion or few shots (like you did towards the end) - otherwise, it becomes tiring.Future video material - to me it's a combination of having a useful and or interesting item to be built and close consideration of what needs to be noted/pointed out when such a project is undertaken to be done right - what thoughts go through a pro's mind when he goes throughall the steps but are not usually conveyed verbally
