Tubing Basics - Fabrication Series: 01 

working a rolling mill in the aerospace and titanium industry, I thank you for the domestic only materials. Anyone who breaks away and buys over seas ends up coming back. You get what you pay for

Thank you for supporting me and my family I work at newcor plymouth utah I make that dom tubing 50 hrs a week (theres a slight chance I made that tube your showing us) 😁 I can promise you nothing leaves our mill without atleast 2 quality checks and its certified

Glad to see someone giving some insight and details on what it takes to build a proper car. A lot of people like to keep secrets in this sport.

Fantastic idea for a series. I’ll be tuning in. Thank you from those of us who are getting our feet planted in the industry!

Cool Tim. I’ll watch every minute of this series. Love your technical fab videos. The more the better! Thanks.

Finally someone who will explain this stuff.

I just keep watching these over and over. Thanks for the series.

This is the kind of series I subbed for.

Tim really love your videos. Thank you for not having a bunch of unnecessary music playing while your speaking. Not have shity music playing helps you focus on the valuable information your are giving. Great job sir 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great information! Thanks!

Good Video series!

Just added the playlist. Thank you

thank you for your information

I only deal with USA manufacturers earned you a thumbs up!

maybe there is video about which NHRA specs for each class levels... Help people decide which class they could or honestly could afford to build and be competitive. Maybe basic build requirements? Like the fab series

I am glad to see you do have aluminum in a aluminum c channel

instant subscribe and like on the videos

Some imported steels might not even have the carbon and silicon content close to SAE spec let alone chromium and molybdenum. Sometimes impurities can make welding difficult.

Tim has spent more money on tubing then I've spend on my whole car...

975th 👍's up tim thanks for taking the time for us all

THANK YOU TGANK YOU THANK YOU🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏁🏁🏁🏁

Making and keeping America Great. Made in the USA 🇺🇸

So what about mild steel, welded seam, DOM. Might want to touch on that for the neubs.

What's the difference from steel piping? Perhaps the control on tolerances and metals?

Hello, I know that’s these fab series are dedicated to drag racing pro stock or pro mods but I was wondering if this shop does any work on Road Racing AWD tube Chassis Cars. I want a chassi built for a Time Attack SCCA/WTA series’s Car such as a WRX STI, EVO or Celica GT4. Please help thank you and btw great videos and products 😊

Do ? or have you used Drocol tube? whats your opinion?

I would like to order online some Chromoly tubing for a homade roll bar truck project what wall thickness, and tubing measurements would you recommend?

More details on the sonic checking like what is the standard?

I would love to see a roll cage (safety cage) made from Chromoly and a cage from titanium in a strength test And any other tests that the race and associations allow for safety

If I was building a cheap copy of a 80s trans am race car/ road car. What tube thickness would I use for the frame to make it last forever with just street driving?

Can I get a hell yeah brother!!! 👽👽👽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

4130 Chinesium tubing Chinesium - An element not found on the periodic table. A crappy metal, plastic, or chemical substance made in China in the manufacture of many Chinese exports. Exposure is imminent in one’s lifetime and may strike with or without warning. Chinesium can display a variety of unique properties and is found in abundance. With exposure side effects vary greatly depending on the user. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may be at risk and should seek a dumpster or a certified R2 recycling facility immediately. Side effects include: Annoyance, fear, loss of sleep, burning sensation, loss of revenue, reduced net worth, poor conductivity or connectivity, high resistance, ridicule by peers, loss of limb, or death. Always use personal safety equipment such as gloves, safety glasses, and respiratory protection when handling Chinesium. If you have direct contact with Chinesium, STOP, DROP, AND ROLL. Should you find Chinesium and are unsure of what to do: STOP, DON’T TOUCH, CALL AN ADULT.

Do you sale DOM tubing or is it mainly Moly and Titanium?

Made in the USA !

What about Docol Tube R8 4130 tubing?

How much is one of those tubes worth? Are they expensive?

How much money do you think is setting there MR Tim

Just curious, but would you be okay with buying Canadian Steel?

As you said oversea crap i first thought you wanted to make our German steel look bad, but the moment you said we make decent steel and buying local is good it was all good. Yea guys buy local, just think about the pollution through transportation and about the income of the worker next door.

"some decent qualities that come from Germany and generally from Europe" what you mean decent? you ever heard of Tysenn Krupp Stahl? german and austrian steel is top steel in the world. we used some american steel and we had to replace it with russian steel because it was really bad. not even close to EU standards. after that we only use Tysenn Krupp

Anyone know of a great fabricator in California? Have a 69 corvette convertible that was in an accident and has a noticeable bend and cracks in the chassis. Need something lighter and stronger but that will allow me to mount the same body, radiator, gas tank, etc without any modifications.

Great Tim buys domestic. My brother, tool/die maker 40 yrs, says the same thing. USA is best but expensive. German steel not far behind. Russian, Indian or wherever is crap.

If i had that rack that full i would not be on you tube i can gaurentee it

Why do you not sell aluminum like you do 4130

docol r8

1020 steel is a good option to save money?

does anybody build with mild steel anymore?

Tom McAnus???!?? Yup that's what I heard

"Only accept domestic tubing" - if only others were like minded and not on a race to the bottom. Top man.

hi what kind of steel are the tubes?

Swedish steel = best steel

Its hard to listen to the video when there is a stock pile of materials that is so amazing in the background, that has to be over 10,000 dollars in materials.

The true reason for random length is that when its drawn over the mandrel it can walk around on the operator so the good part of the tube gets cut out of runs

"Chinese Shiiiit."

Americans and inches, damn you.

Great video ... still cant get over how Americans say tubing and aluminium lol

country of origin is not the issue, quality of material is. china produces whichever quality you want, it all depends on the reseller and price. plenty of material made domestically is also junk. this myth that everything coming from china is rubbish needs to be addressed. the basic reality is that if people continue to mass consume crap at an alarming rate, china will continue to mass produce crap at an alarming rate. the responsibility lies with you, the consumer, and with the disgustingly relentless marketing that drives the impossibility of endless market growth. responsibility does not lie with the manufacturer. it's a very simple equation: if you want china (and any other country, including the US) to stop producing crap, stop buying it.

Why Chinese manufactured products are shit?

thanks for buying american sir!
