I am using the homemade arc welder (the one built in the previous video) to fix a cracked bench vise.

  • Posted a small video with the photo's I have taken so far as a video response.

  • @katskratchkustumz: That sounds awesome! I can't wait to see that!

  • @sunny5rising P.s., was not trying to be a dick, also kudo's on the welder build, I myself am building one. However I am using a 200amp 24volt generator rather than an alternator. Am using a Datsun 4 banger engine from a little car, 70HP, will have an air compressor on it too as well as having the option of running many other accessories. I will post a vid when its done, 3/4 the way to being done.

  • @katskratchkustumz: Now that's the kind of comment that I can use. Thanks for the tip!

  • @sunny5rising Also you should preheat heat the cast and use a rod with a high nickel content. You can do it with out preheatin but its more difficult

  • @katskratchkustumz: I agree. I should have gutted it. If/when it does crack, I'll do that. Live'in N Learn'in!

  • @katskratchkustumz: So I have been told, lol. Nonetheless, so far it has held up just fine.

  • @katskratchkustumz you should have gouged the hell out of that crack, almost all the way to the bottom, weld is gonna crack sooner than later

  • definately not the way to weld cast kids ahahah

  • @JimmyFarina97: Thanks. Yeah, I would say that the engine is probably twice the hp than I needed for this alternator. This was my first welder build so I was using what I had on hand to see if it would even work.
