Welding on a ROTTEN carnival ride! (Can it be fixed!?!) 

its a bit like chasing a high. that next big pay check. Some weeks you make 10 grand, other weeks your lucky to have made a dollar. I like high risk high reward situations. Im also a mountaineer, down hill mountain biker and ride a motorcycle when im not working. I like difficulty.

Rejoignez votre syndicat local de Chaudronniers 271

​@@Jon-jk8vd Faudrait que je commence par devenir un chaudronnier. J'ai fait des recherches il y a longtemps au sujet et la job avait l'air intéressante, quelles sont les bénéfices d'être dans le syndicat 271?

​@@pierre7540 Oui, vous devrez suivre l'apprentissage. Vous obtiendrez les meilleurs salaires et conditions de travail où que vous soyez. Vous gagnez très bien la première année en tant qu'apprenti. Ils travaillent sur les projets les plus importants que le pays a à offrir. Vous seriez traité avec équité, respect et apprendrez de la bonne manière.

@@MeltinMetalAnthony I've never found a way to put it into words the reasoning behind why I want to be mobile, and have variety when welding. You sir put that perfectly. We fill the gaps where 9-5 shop/office guys can't! - AND LITERALLY FILL THE GAPS

Lol

When that ride gets to Ohio, the inspectors will condemn it. Internal corrosion like that is why the Fireball came apart and killed people. These garbage operators give the good ones a bad name. Adding a clause that says you aren't responsible doesn't make you not responsible. He would lose everything.

@@bige.3474 #liability

@@bige.3474 trying to stick the welder with the liability here would be nearly impossible.

@@bige.3474 well, it does though. If I tell my boss, somethings broke, but he says to make it work and keep running it, am I responsible for doing my job or him for ordering me to do my job? The blame will land on him ultimately. In Florida, the building that collapsed, Is it the inspectors fault he told the building owners their building was shit, but they chose not to do anything about it? Nah, it’s the owners fault.

There not all like this

love ya ma!

Like new again? You are reaching there lady. These rides need to be scrapped

What would you use with an AC stick welder, 6013 or 7018 AC?

@@sgf13 I would run 6011 then 7018 ac over it. 7018 is good to strengthen welds after running 6010 or 6011

@@dans8169 Thanks. I have been welding many years but with a very limited backyard skill set. I have only run 6011 & 6013 on my Lincoln buzz box but I recently became aware that 7018 AC existed! I thought 6011 & 6013 were the only AC options. When I asked people what stick I could run the answer was always 6011 for the dirty stuff and 6013 for prettier welds on prepared steel. I wonder what other options I don't know about.

isn't a 7018 - 100% pen open root sometimes run downhill and dcen?

@@peetky8645 hey dude. 7018 is used for open roots over in Some countries in Europe . 7016 is used for low hydrogen roots as well. Over in the states most pipe welding that is stick will be a 6010 root and 7018 fill and cap if its mild steel, for chemical/refineries plants .6010 roots down hill for pipelining welds with 8010 down hill and or 7018 uphill. . 6010 root uphill in chemical plants, power houses, and places like refineries. 7018 fill and caps for power houses, chemical plants ,and refineries. 7018 is a rod that is labeled to run in all positions but its really not. The slag is to Fluid like . If you run down hill with it, your going to get slag inclusion in the weld. I have heard some stories of it being done for undercut being filled but just stories as I have never seen it. Also this is a video with the dude working on rides . From my experience rides are under structural codes and most structural codes you will use 7018. You can do almost anything as long as you spend the time money to get whatever you want qualified to the code you are welding too. Hope this helps dude.

@@peetky8645 oh and I forgot . Yes you can run an open root 7018 dcen and dcep but again uphill.

@@blueweld75 thanks for the info

@@blueweld75 we run 7018 downhand on tube membrane so the membrane will break before the tube does

Safety first,

Hella dangerous

wooo those are expensive when new

@@MeltinMetalAnthony I jumped on it like a fly on stink. Came with 3 HD rollers and he gave me a free standing drill press. Only deal I've ever got 😆

What you need is the ride inspector, re-inspect it and call it all good, then you are free and clear.

@@scottcarr3264 If it is a child of a government official they can do as they dam well please and they will. That means the inspector butt also. Like I said speaking from experience.

"el diablo blanco" would be the correct way to say that :P

😂

Made a huge difference in my breathing

yup!

Excuse me, what?

Did you have a stroke?

@@inferno7181 What you don't understand English, he said you should square your vice to the blade not the edge of the frame because it might not be parallel to the blade in which case if you squared your vice to the frame your cut would not be at a square 90 degrees.

you should! let me know ill watch!

@@MeltinMetalAnthony what?!?!?! That would be so awesome! I'm in school right now so getting tips and hints while you watch would be awesome! I go back to class next week. I'll start! Thank you for the inspiration! I'll be sure to tell you after my first upload!

in a odd turn of events the guy who owned the ride died. now its sitting in the repair yard

@@MeltinMetalAnthony wow life is nuts man. Stay safe great content and thanks for the reply and interaction.

That will work about as well as a prenup in a marriage.

I appreciate that!

the main ride components where made of I beam so the owners where able to maintain those areas and keep them rust free

I don't know of a aws code that covers carnival rides or 1/8 wall tube. I do have d 14.1 and d 14.3 that covers lifting equipment. but that test was exactly a d 1.1 unlimited open root. so I can't see how that applies.

@@MeltinMetalAnthony rad dude. Its usually d1.1 from I have worked. Every state is different though. Some folks just use the Iso specs from the folks over in Italy. Lol cuz its all from Italy. Some stuff is just no cracks. Thanks for the response dude. I dont plan on doing anything in Florida but its always good to have some info.

It’s a chop saw, not a mitre saw. That blade is permanently squared to the base, the only motion it makes is straight up and down, no adjustments on the arm. The only adjustment that can be made for angle change is the back stop. Thus, only one check is required to assume square: the base to the backstop.

7018 and rust don't get along

The inspector tells me what they want me to do and I do it.

those Hobarts are basically Miller Bobcats.....Same company owns both [Illinois Tool Works].....to my knowledge, Hobart no longer makes any machines.....Just consumables

You can get engine drives from tractor supplies. I just bought one and I'm really happy with it.

@@ohfawkbud.4948 fantastic....best wishes, Paul

Gas or diesel welders are actually welder generators.

I made them as soon as I was done, we awls osph'd the inside of the tubes

hey now 😭

Seriously. That shit breaks and kills ppl your on the hook. Even if your policy is 5 million, if 50 ppl get busted on a ride 5millys not enough.

@@exoduslnx but, i doubt he be liable for that. He clearly mentioned to the owner about it, and was given the go ahead.

@@x91s55 you typically need an engineer to give you the go ahead. Even a custom hand railing out of metal has no standard building code, like one made with 2x4s etc. Everything needs engineers stamp and welding procedure. In North America anyways.

@@exoduslnx Alright didn't know that. thanks for the info

@@x91s55 yeah, It's one of the reasons hiring a welder is typically over $80/hr. Have a good one.

each of these rides come with a hand book. the inspector has them on hand they have all of that in them. if I did exclusively carnival rides I would invest in them.

the doonaloungas awooooooga

7018 and rust don't do well. we could've capped with 7018, but there's was really no point
