Gotta love the safety. No grinder shield, taped up electric cord, open sandals...
Then there is the welding... No chipping the slag off and welding over the top of it. Uhhhg.

Buenos cortes, lo mejor son los guantes anti-cortes y los zapatos dielectricos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

2:30 I'm guessing that's why his grinder cord is cut and taped back on.

This was very entertaining. It was also educational, but probably not in the manner intended.

That's the funniest welding video ever, I laughed out loud the entire clip!🤣🤣🤣Thank you!

A couple of tips if I may. First off, I have been a sorta hobby, sorta paid welder for around 20 years. I enjoynit, learned all I could, took classes, but realized the day I make it my job, I will hate it and didn't want that to happen so I do it for fun more than for pay. With all that being said, I recomend welding thin gauge tube like that with either mig, tig, or gas (oxy/fuel) depending on application and how pretty it needs to be. Essentially you just placed a bunch of tacks and then ground it down, now if it is simply a decorative piece, that will suffice, just don't let anyone put it under strain or it will likely tear or break. The stick welder, even on some of its lowest settings, agitates the puddle to get through to bare steel way to much causing blow outs, like I am sure you have seen, even on its lowest setting. Stick is great for dirty, thick steel, but sucks at anything thinner than about 10 gauge. Good luck and be safe.

P.S. might want to throw on a little more ppe, spatter and uv burns hurt like hell and dramatically increases your chance of developing skin cancer.

You know this guy has got experience when he rocks no guard on the grinder

Love it

Im not impressed with the fabrication but i dig those JESUS sandals!!!!

Nice video I've only been welding 1 day and question that welding technique though . I love the safeT crocs !

[signman]

This is a great way to keep the top of your feet from becoming too hairy! :D And....SURGICAL GLOVES for welding??? That's probably worse than nothing, unless you like melted latex on your skin. :S

[steveaguinaga]

...yup latex gloves and sandals for protective gear.. And sweats.

[dignitas]

Lord have mercy!! The weld, the power cord....but the crocs, well, this is how is done! :)))

[olafmagos]

El trabajo muy bien, la seguridad habrá que mejorarla, gracias por tu video.

[Rolo-Tony]

That seems more like tacking and not welding, shouldn't you be using a smalling rod at lower current so you can actually lay a bead down?

ბარგალკა დამცავი ფარის გარეშე!!! უსაფრთხოების წესების უხეში დარღვევა!

Using a rafter square to do metal work. Priceless.

[richarddebono]

Lol! Something tells me he isn't wearing those to avoid the agony of molten steel dripping into his work boot.😂🤣🤪 Nice, simple right angle though👍👍👍

[rafarocktc]

Nice idea, but, please, take care, using this tools without protect shield could be dangerous, I have a friend who suffer a serious injury doing this like you do.

Awesome safety video!!
Notes:
1. Taped together cord on the angle grinder.
2. Sparks right onto taped cord.
3. Wearing sandals, fine,
4. But then standing right beneath the cutting area!
5. No guard on the angle grinder.
6. No handle either.
7. Partial cut through steel tubing with a hand-held abrasive wheel. (notice the wheel deflecting)
8. Wearing RUBBER gloves while welding!!
What's the worst that could happen?
Gloves melt onto hands, Wheel explodes, flies into the users face, steps on melted wire electrocuting himself.
