Today we install a winch on a new trailer and get it ready to go pick up an vintage vehicle just up Fab Rat’s alley! We also, finish a loft, with which my dad and I starting cutting boards for before his passing. Will there be enough?
Make sure to follow along with us as we build and fabricate cool stuff!!

What ever way works for you in welding is the best way
Best welder I know said push with wire, pull with stick. Me, where ever i am standing tells me which way I am going.
you said you are getting old? you got nothing to worry about! LOL
Push Mig, pull flux core.
This is off subject of the video.. I have a few questions I got a 1973 jeep commando that was my pop's but I really don't know much about it I know it's the 304 v8 AMC my question is what kind of differentials I got and what other vehicles can I refer to for parts as far as lift kits and other parts because I can't find anyone as of yet that can give me any ideas.? And as far as welding if it's solid wire I will push and pull by doing little circles counter clock way starting at bottom and coming up and back around it gives you a solid weld and looks like a row of dimes if Flux core I push and pull . Thanks for videos they kick ars
The only thing that I worry about you folk not wearing safely glasses when you drilling to metal.
Another cool video. Really enjoyed it. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
Old welder, here, pulling the wire generally puts less heat into the work, providing less penetration, pushing enables you to control heat and penetration, oscillation left to right ,and travel speed, make differences too. Play and experiment! Many people struggle with almost every other type of welding, but excel at the "squirt gun"!
hahaha "Got it" welds into place haha laughin so hard rn
Pushing envelopes the weld and area with shielding gas creating a more uniform adhesion. Less chance of porosity, and is faster. Push with gas, pull with rod.
I normally prefer to pull a weld but it depends on the situation, sometimes you can get a flatter weld by doing the opposite, so sometimes I will push for that reason.
I drag. But im mostly using fluxcore. So you kinda have to.
As long as u can see the inside of puddle
I have always heard when there's slag, you drag. So that would be for stick and flux-core. That would imply that you should push MIG and TIG. I have only done flux-core and get decent results dragging. From what I have seen, MIG seems to be pretty forgiving so you can probably weld in any direction. Your welds in different directions look equally good to me.
I used to work at a heavy fab company. Our policy was to push because the arc would preheat the work you are about to weld and lead to better penetration. We welded on material up to 2- 1/2 thick and used dual shield mig. I think it only makes a big difference on 1/2 plate or thicker.
A suggestion there Paul. Would you build some engine cradles for all you engines, therefore they would sit upright, and be easier to get to when needed. And make the storage look tidy. Just an idea. Still catching up…..lol
BATTERIES GIVE OFF EXPLOSIVE FUMES PLEASE BE CAREFUL WELDING NEAR THEM I ENJOY YOUR CHANNEL
This video must be before safety
in all honesty I learned how to weld by watching and listening to Paul I'm sure I could have figured it out without him but he sure did make it easier I think I'm pretty good at it to even with my 12v welder lol
At 23 some do some don’t they get worse they try everything they can too either question what you do or doubt what you do but it never stops them from coming too you to fix their stuff so they won’t have to pay some one for fixing the stuff the broke .
Did you wire it up to the power charging port on the trailer plug
Dragging gives you more penetration…
Use it with big wire welding, 3/32 inch wire…
Need some gussets on that battery box, and a charging wire for that battery…
It takes a creative mind that knows how to fab, & make it work- right. Keep up the great videos!!!Bob H., Flat Rock, N.C.
pullers.
I do exactly what you do. I do what works best for the position I have to weld in.
pushing the weld puddle creates a more concaved weld as it has a harder time filling it (essentially the arc blows more metal out of the weld pool then by dragging) and produces more spatter with GMAW-S (short circuit mig) dragging creates a more convexed weld as you are promoting an easier path for the molten metal to go with a dragging angle (about 5 to 10 degrees)
I am self taught and not the greatest welder, but when I'm done grinding it looks as good as a pro's job.
Dragger
Cool
I worked in a factory years ago and they all said pushing and correct ergonomics is preferred. They claim pushingng preheat the metal and gives deeper penatration.
After having COVID and 7 months in 3 hospitals I would love to get back in my old racing shop and get some projects done. Have a 68 Nova that spun the center on the timing gear . Which was a common issue with the plastic center. Only 58,000 original miles and second owner. Need also to finish B mod that I started before hospitalized.Enjoy watching
Now when you do something like this for a Guy like Ed do you charge them or is it free or depend on the person just wondering. Great you guys can figure this stuff out Ben is a bonus to the show and show cheers
More like 25 if your lucky LOL
👌
If it’s got slag, let it drag!
