If you're ever looking to replace that tired little bandsaw, you should look into a cold cut saw. I have the Dewalt one, it'll pound through a 2" angle in about 5 seconds, make straight cuts all day long and aren't expensive for what you get.

2023-11-12 23:51:45 +0000 UTCIn today’s throw away world, it’s cool that you can still get parts for your old welder. Glad you got it running good. Thanks for the video.

2023-11-12 17:01:45 +0000 UTCLooks fine to me. It difficult to make them all beautiful if you don't do it every day but I bet they don't break.

2023-11-11 23:23:08 +0000 UTCI worry these "build" videos kinda boring, so I've been trying to sort of script out a "story" around them. That helps. But mostly I've given up sleeping...

2023-11-11 23:22:57 +0000 UTCNicely done. Seems like the welder is running tip top now.

2023-11-11 22:43:39 +0000 UTCThat stencil tip is worth the price of admission alone. The videos are really top quality now Wes, not sure it's possible but I'd really be interested in how you've stepped up your game in this area.

2023-11-11 21:17:35 +0000 UTCWe haven't gotten any yet this year. Not sure why.

2023-11-11 21:17:22 +0000 UTCI should have put it in the video. I might upload a new version.

2023-11-11 21:16:51 +0000 UTCI try. It comes at the cost of output.

2023-11-11 14:51:15 +0000 UTCLooks great! The welding also looked very nice on this side of the camera. One suggestion, it would have been nice to see something heavy, like a skid steer bucket or two, sitting on these things at the end :)

2023-11-11 02:38:39 +0000 UTCYour welding is getting better. Safety measure(s) with the spray painting was Excellent.

2023-11-11 02:08:19 +0000 UTCI've tied stencils a few times before and this is the best it has ever come out.

2023-11-11 00:19:50 +0000 UTCI calculated bending stress for the beam and legs. I didn't check the shear or buckling, but we should be fine (famous last words).

2023-11-11 00:19:21 +0000 UTCMiller is really good about support. They will give you free tech support over the phone for ancient welders. They helped me fix a portable that was 30+ years old recently.

2023-11-11 00:18:22 +0000 UTCThanks for the stencil tip Wes. The sawhorses do indeed look 'fancy'!
Max Chaplin
2023-11-11 00:07:35 +0000 UTCMan they turned out fantastic, that yellow paint color reminds me of the zinc chromate primer I used ~50 years ago. Did you actually crunch some numbers to determine the weight ratings?
Eric Corse
2023-11-10 23:39:00 +0000 UTCHow soon until we can buy a set of those fab sawhorses in your merch shop for $69.99? :D Seriously, color me impressed that you can still get factory parts for a welder built in 1979. I can't get parts to fix a laptop built in 2021
Chris Freemesser
2023-11-10 23:36:57 +0000 UTCSo sad you didn't use some White and "Miller Blue" on the old workhorse. I know you just love painting! :-)

2023-11-10 22:12:45 +0000 UTCI watched some of that. He practically wore out a welder on that job.

2023-11-10 22:11:01 +0000 UTCThat Miller will still be welding long after I'm dead.
Watch Wes Work
2023-11-10 22:10:31 +0000 UTCMaybe if we get caught up we can. Actually, Canada is pretty easy. It's Europe that is not fun at all.
Watch Wes Work
2023-11-10 22:10:04 +0000 UTCWhen putting on grips on bars and handle bars use hair spray as a lubricant, when it dries it secures the grip firmly and unlike soap won't come unstuck if it the grips get wet. Have a look at allistairc123 on youtube for extreme welding, his last job used a 180kg (400lbs) of wire.
Tim Allan
2023-11-10 21:43:00 +0000 UTCCool! The Miller welder is practically a restored OEM unit, the saw horses came out nice, and I got to see your CNC table cut painter's tape for labels.

2023-11-10 21:24:08 +0000 UTCThey aren't too bad. About 25lbs each.

2023-11-10 21:21:28 +0000 UTCThey look great! May have to use your fully depreciated truck to move them from job to job but at least they aren't death traps now 😋
