For the third hand he use that keep the rails spaced perfectly, he needs to screw it down every time, costing quite some time. Remove that system, get a few magnets that don't need to be too big, they just need to keep it in place while it lays there or you solder it. They will ne far easier and faster to remove and re-attach, even on your sculpture.
Muito Obrigado. O fio que uso é de aço inoxidável. São 3 mm. Você pode usar qualquer fio que quiser, mas esteja seguro. Algum metal emite gás venenoso quando aquecido. Cobre, latão, aço simples são todos bons.
@@TomHaroldArt Ei Tom, obrigado pela atenção. Estou fazendo um projeto em vidro de 10 mm como base, com arame galvanizado n°14 com solda estanho. O vidro levará uma foto de minha familia que servirá como um quadro. Aqui no Brasil não tem esse tipo de trabalho e acho que chamará bem a atenção.
@@quartetoasafe Sou dos EUA, Indiana. Não sei falar português. Eu uso software de tradução. Espero que entenda bem. Sua ideia de escultura parece linda. Tenha cuidado com o fio galvanizado. Esse é um tipo de fio que vai liberar vapores venenosos quando é aquecido. É muito perigoso! Espero que você seja capaz de encontrar um tipo diferente de fio.
Just one. As you are welding, the arc grounds the other. However, since I'm welding on a metal bench, I just ground the bench and make sure the parts have contact with the bench. It's much easier than trying to ground individual pieces all the time. I did that in the beginning, and it was a hassle, especially if they were small parts. Besides that, for safety, a metal bench should be used, and not a wood bench with a sheet of metal on it. If you put metal over wood, the wood can catch fire beneath.
What do you use to weld. Tig weld or something else. I want to try and make one of these , it would be my first. I'm excited about it. I'm good with my hand. Woodworking and such. Thank you for taking the time to make the video's.
@@TomHaroldArt . Thanks Tom appreciate your information. I've tig welded before. Not really good at it but maybe the little intricate places maybe a little easier not everyone has been doing an extended weld. Hope to talk soon on insight into your great work. Thanks.
I would under regular circumstances, yes. I always try to make sure it's welded completely around/through for a solid joint. I just didn't do that in this example.
jcThib You're welcome, and thanks for checking out the video! And, yes, that's 1/8" rod. There might be a little more detail on the materials and such in the first video, but it's been a while since I've watched that one.
