Impossible to Make Control Arms! JK They're Pretty Easy. Mighty Max Ep: 20

DO NOT USE BRAKE CLEANER TO CLEAN YOUR WELD METALS!

In this video I accidentally ignite leftover brake cleaner while welding. After receiving some comments about the danger of burning brake cleaner I decided to do some research…

They were very RIGHT!

My research found that my particular cleaner doesn’t contain the deadly chemicals some have, however, simply NOT using ANY brake cleaner when welding is a much better decision! Stay alive my friends. ❤️

Here’s an article that I found during my research.

About the video!

Using the Control Arm Copy Machine Jig from a previous video, we turn factory Mighty Max control arms into fancy custom arms made with 1/4 inch steel plate and Nissan ball joints.

Realy like your videos. But i Think you have made a mistake. A dangerous one. The original upper control arm design allows for "thin" sleeves because the control arm isnt welded on . But welded in! This way the sleeves won't be pulled oval. With your design, the sleeves are welded on and now the sleeves schould be thicker, much thicker!

Love that you aren't afraid to show the dumb mistakes we all make!! We all need to laugh at ourselves sometimes

The man, the myth, the legend... Mr. Mankandy himself! hahahah. I screamed out loud when you mentioned me lmao, was not expecting that. Great video and roller coaster ride, kept me glued to the screen!! Excited to see this collab, I think i have an idea who he is... You're killing the YT game! Keep on truckin'

[LordHolley]

ahhh, the joys of learning welding and fabrication... Experiencing similar joys myself....

Aaron, three things: love the tip of adding weight to the small pieces cut on the chop saw - I will be stealing this; great solution using the router with a burr - never thought of that and another tip I’ll be stealing; and number 3, thanks for the reminder to get up from the toilet to get the blood back into my legs. Cheers!

Unless you're a professional the road to a sweet ride is paved with mistakes. I like your work keep it up.

[TheDamnGarage]

I am so glad you addressed the ball joint angle at the end. I was really curious how that worked. Every time I watch your videos I realize how much I don’t know about suspensions.

[michakregiel]

You are underrated! I'm planning to do suspension on my C10 and you've provided me all the knowledge in decent way! Thank you very much.

[Aphthous]

Aaron, I’ve binged every single one of your videos in the last 3 days! I’m glad that YouTube is finally showcasing your channel. Keep moving forward! (One of my favorite YT catch phrases)!

[bradpage]

It’s really refreshing that you share your missteps! Was kinda surprised that you didn’t set up a stop on your cold saw for the rounds you cut. The intermission was awesome!!! Oil and welding have never really got along! The “sculpted” holes look great!!! The ball joint angle is now something else to consider, had to watch that segment a couple times!! Love your content, editing, style!!

[americathefree]

Dude I laughed so hard I cried! Best ever content from a fabricator! Thank you! We are human and make mistakes! You fixed it!

[kevinkirk]

Man I really need a carbide chop saw.
Cool build!
A fixture is worth its weight in gold.

[stevehamilton]

I enjoy the humor and the info your videos provide…don’t stop, move forward!👍

[path]

Loving it all! Keep it up brother.i gotta secret build coming up.

[VictorMPR]

You remind me of a teacher I had in college who was very excited about the subject she taught and that made the class me lectures very fun to be in.

Also, I was yelling at the screen for Swiss cheese. Glad you heard me.

Also, also… ball joints.

[dekebell]

Learned more in five minutes from you than I have in 2 hours of research! You’re a bad ass, thanks so much for sharing this!

[raymaccord]

Very nice Dae and I really appreciate your videos. We are building a 1952 Chevy 3100 and you have given us some really good ideas. Thanks again and keep those videos coming.

[cotybrown]

Great editing and also excellent content. Your first cut to black saying the video was over definitely got me I had to double check the video length. Your breakdown of how things work and why you did what you did are always good to hear for anyone else that may be on their own similar journey. Keep it up.

[keithworker]

Another great video, glad you show things that may not go to plan first go that’s my world reality .
Appreciate the technical and humour.

[stevev]

I have determined two things from watching your videos. 1, you are without a doubt insane and 2, your videos are very informitave. Heep up the good work!!!!
