Welding Tips and Tricks

I know ... most of the forum members would watch my videos and think ... "oh come on! ... what the heck do you know?" But I have fun making them and who knows ... maybe someone can at least learn how not to do something ... LOL ... on the other hand the music is original and all mine ... enjoy ... http://youtu.be/GQrvWBsMFJA

Thank you. Enjoyed the video.

You are most welcome, it was the first time I used my gas forge. I could have finished it a little quicker but blacksmithing is something I'm just starting to do. I've got a new anvil coming in soon as the one I have is just too small to do anything with; which is why I was using a piece of rail to form the bend on the end of the jig. Have a great evening!

Thanks for the video pretty cool, Im digging the forge to does that run on propane or natural gas? Thanks again for taking the time to make a video for all of us to view. You must be a cool guy your an NHRA fan

The forge runs on propane and is made by an outfit by Portland Oregon Thermal Arts Design ... Yes I'm a big NHRA fan and I race with The All Harley Drag Racing Association ... Some of my best experiences happened at the track ... I actually made a belt buckle commemoration John Force's 15 championship ... it was put in the JFR museum in Yorba Linda Ca.

Here is a link to a slide show I made of a few of my bike art pieces. http://youtu.be/tnhZ8CuCyDk

That's awesome! The music was great too.

Here is part 2 of the bike art slide show ... enjoy http://youtu.be/S9pLSB-Ds64

Thanks for the Video. Being a 66 year old Newbie I got to learn some new things

Ahhhhh Winky, you are just showing off your new forge! LOL
Actually, you have every right to show off. Nice work and nice video too!

Can you show us the new jig being used in another video?

That was very nice.

And I'm going to guess how you chose the name "winky".

I'll keep that to myself.

Top-notch craftsmanship.
