  • Love your vids always intrusting things and great info on them (tip and tricks) what is the amperes u used their and what is the right amps to use on 1.6 mm pipe? thanks kev

  • @danssv8 I think the amps in this video were in the 80 to 90 range. As for the pipe setting, I have never worked with that size sorry. Maybe someone else can chime in on this?? (Please!)

  • Continued from the below post:

    I meant to type "clear COAT""," not "costs". Darn typos!!!! Typing with an iPhone is tough!!!!

  • @ColtDeltaElite10mm I know what you mean!! I also suffer from big finger/little button syndrome. As for a great clear coat, have you tried permalac? You can also do a clear coat powdercoat. I have also used Penetrol. Just spray it on and let it dry. I know it is for paint but it works great on clean steel also.

  • do you have a hydrogen torch?

  • @sylvanenergy Nope, two O/A rigs. The one in the video is a tig torch running straight argon.

  • Thanks mate for your kind and speedy reply, after welding the thin 1.6 mm stainless steel i played around and left the flow at about 8 L/min and set the amps to about 55 to 60 amps is ideal for it.love your cool video's, lot and lot of info, it's just great mate and thanks to your wife shooting this video she is just as great and sure she wil be teaching a couple a blokes a thing or two,thanks again

  • @Kevincaron..... Nice video! I love your metal art. You mentioned the galvanic metal response between cooper and steel when wet. What do you recommend as a "sealer" or "clear cost" for decorative pieces in my wife's garden? Everything I've found at home depot is varnish for woods and plastic. The spray can clear costs no matter how thick don't last at all. My stuff rusts quick! Any suggestions? Thank you.

  • hi ont forget to make sheet metal cutting and bending thanks
