Hey Jordan, great job on the door repair! Karl's die really made the forming turn out perfect! I really like the way you teach us as you're learning, too. And your comments about what you could do better next time really work for me. Thanks a bunch!
Looking good! I laughed watching you reposition for welding , I do that all the time! You gotta get comfortable! I'm looking forward to the split window project as well.
The door is coming along nicely Jordan, the more I see the power hammer working the more I like... I might have to build one of Karl's pov versions, good content again and the splitty work sounds interesting. cheers Greg
Carl it's coming along nicely so far sir. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friends. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
Good video question how did you remove the outer door skin from the inner frame without damaging the lip . i had seen guys using special vice grip pliers getting under neath the lip and also making new lips and tig welding them back on , Thanks
Have you considered using electrolysis or citric acid for rust removal, they both get into EVERY area and work extremely well, I even add Citric acid to my electrolysis tank to speed up the process, adding heat also speeds up the process. Do not use it on Cast Iron or Aluminium. Just pressure wash and admire the results. Molasses also works well but the smell upsets the wife so I do not use it anymore. Granular Citric Acid is usually available from rural supply outlets, they use it in wineries to clean out their pipes. Cost about $120 to $150 for 20kg, use about a 1/2 cup per gallon / 5 litres Yes it can take a couple of days but definitely worth it. Electrolysis is cheaper, just run it off a battery charger, I use stainless for my sacrificial anode as it seems to last longer but any conductor will work. Also use the hand wheel under your power hammer bottom anvil to adjust the clearance rather than adjusting the collet, much easier and infinite control, just back off the securing screws and wind it up or down, don't forget to tighten the screws back up.
