Hurray! All my music is foxtrication! Some of you die hard description readers will remember that from a few vids back. I guess that's how I'll describe music with no credits - foxtrication.
Justin, my 13 year-old son and I watch a lot of your videos together. Thanks for not cussing or bad-mouthing people/products. You've got a top-notch channel and I really appreciate you sharing.
Deke Bell good comment deke!
You win at parenting :) Saludos from Argentina.
Lame
@@dmgmail7021 nothing lame about it, go do something productive with yourself
Best comment I have read in months…
I use to be a fabricator for rail road, and recently opened my own shop where I fab turbo kits. This video is 100% the best pipe fab instructional learning tool there could be. Great job!!!!
Your the best
I went to work at a shortline about 5 years back . I have 25 years in hands on all aspects steel fabrication experience They hired me to build their fabrication skills and put together a shop tied to the mechanical department . But had to put me in exsisting department that had an opening. Which was in mechanical.. I took the job becuase of the apeal of the benefits. I designed and built spark arrestor attachment pipes for gp38 locomotives with 2 stroke engines. Which can throw some serious fire up in the air. I think I will just say it was Interesting working for the railroad..fun at times even. I made it 3.5 years found out my mechanical manager was actually trying to pass my skills off as his own. Which has zero of at all in the fabrication world . And was succsesfull enough to get a regional promotion about 6 months after I quit. He is good at stealing knowledge from many people in his career. I can't say I miss railroading
Justin, I always wondered on fabing merges. I want to thank you for taking the time and showing us this. Thank you !
Thanks for sharing your expertise with those of us who want to learn more and better ourselves, fellow gear heads and fabricators who aspire to become on par with you. Keep up the good work.
The BEST online tutorial video I've seen yet, on any subject. Great Job!
This is the first video of tours I watched. I have to say, it's hard for me to find a series like this that is helpful and has a host that I like. Thanks.
i love these, taught me already couple of things. You have a great channel. I really can't believe you're literally letting people know how to do these nice fab work. Thanks man. I would need to learn how to tig weld.
Have to thank you for this one Justin, watched this a couple times before tackling the exhaust in my project 280z video series. Those extruded bends were AWESOME to work with.
Wow, I was not expecting this to be so informative. Awesome Love it
Love watching this kind of work. I do this kind of work for a living so I take quite the appreciation in seeing others methods in figuring this stuff out. I'll be working on an x pipe configuration for my 98 grand Cherokee with a 5.2 V8. I think what's going to be best in my opinion would be a combination of the splayed x portion @ 45* spread and 45* turns to capture the end and make parallel. I tend to like this style of X-pipe for the best flow characteristics as the merge portion is done in a straight section of tube versus a radius. However, packaging is king and sometimes that don't always work. Thanks for the awesome content Justin!
THESE BUILDS ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO DO WITH OUT KNOWING HOW !!! YOUR FAB TECHNIQUES ARE FABULOUS!!! You are da man
Dude, by the way, love your vids. Thanks for taking the time and effort to help us get better and recognize new approaches. Respect.
You have made so many great videos and several incredible ones, this one is one of the best! Thanks for sharing your math!
Really enjoyed this video. Very well done and straight forward. Could definitely see you doing stuff on TV kinda reminded me of Stacey David. Keep it up man!
Finally a thorough explanation of the differences. Fantastic video!
Justin, You're explanations of every step in the process is easy to follow. I look forward to you fabricating a complete stainless exhaust system for my 55' Chevy Truck in the near future. Hope all is well. Matt P.
Oh...!!!! Your Bandsaw is from Italy!!! Gooooood this!!!
Thank you for the long explanation of things. It takes time and money to present this like you have. Well done.
Pure gold.. thank you once again . A pleasure as always...
That was a masterclass! Thank you. I would love to have seen how you welded that up, and in particular how you got right into the tightest spots. I would also like to know if you would argon back those tubes when welding the complete pipe. great work. I learnt a lot.
You recommended stainless bros. for their products. I found out they are a 3 hour trip from me, and thry delivered in 23hrs! Also, i watched this to refresh myself on how to do all these fun combos! Thanks again for all the good vids!
Always excited to see new videos. This one was awesome just what I wanted to learn for some upcoming project ideas
Those look fantastic - great layout & fit-up.
Thank you for saying "locking pliers" instead of using that common brand name. This is proper.
Just found your channel. Love watching and learning from you. Keep it up!
Yes, yes, yes. Very professional, extremely good video. God bless your work and everything with it.
Love it , Thank you for your time and efforts to share your talent with us , again thanks brother
Very nice work,simply expressed and well executed. Thank you.
Wow, incredibly valuable. Thank you.
Great video Justin, you must know this stuff by back of your hand now, I hope I get there. I saw the HTP Invertig running 😃. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and math on how to. Jason
Quick tip from me that works- tack weld the pipe to the bit of box section support. Keeps job well supported and easier to get set up right off the saw. Quick clean up with grinder and ready to reuse the supports.
I never thought about keeping the shielding on after the heat. Good tip!
Another extremely informative video. Well done, sir.
Awesome video! Extremely informative. Great work.
Thanks Justin Great Work
Thats awesome work Justin!!
Austin, another quality video, chuck full of information with little easy math. Great Italian bandsaw with the motor mounted on a gear reduction gear box, plus water-based cutting fluid. I saw what appears to be a 220 volt sticker. I bought a MIG in 1984 build in Italy by the largest manufacturer in their country, still works fine today, but no TIG. Being forced to retire way early, I will own one. I know what’s like to run out of shield gas, why does it always happen on the weekend. Plus, I have seen the cost for 25/75 from $28.52 in 84 to $112.18 just in late 2019 and have every receipt in the file cabinet. Keep up the good work. As a long time subscriber, I guess I will never understand a dislike. ? ASE Master Tech since 78 - Retired
Great vid. Like to learn from other trades. I am an Electrician. Months back I was installing a fence. Needed to know a measurement. My college graduate daughter was quite surprised that algebra was needed. The 3 4 5 formula in essence. "Honey everything you use the second step was math after the idea came to mind". Thanks for the education.
Excellent video. Thank you for the mathematical precision calculations. 👍 Subbed.
You have awesome videos man! Very easy to follow... well done!
Master class... yet again. Many thanks.
Great video. A decent, stationary disc sander or belt sander can make up for a less than perfect bandsaw for us home hobbyists.
Thanks this video helped alot while trying understand how those Y sections are fabricated 👌🤗
Thank for your time. It will help me in my learning process. Regards from Mozambique. Silvio Coelho
Thank you, awesome job...
Killer tutorial! I have subbed! I now know the best way of fitting merge pipes! I'm beginning to hate fabrication because of the grinding dust. I may have to build a downdraft grinding table like the one in the other video.
Nice one Justin !! I definitely picked up Nuggets on that one.
Great video... Just re-watched it AGAIN!
Awesome video bro. Thanks!
Great video! 👌🏼
Thanks for taking the time out to share the knowledge that took you years to master! Awesome videos.
Super video, great skills. Just a tad jealous about that bandsaw :)
Excellent Video, Keep up the good work!
Inspirational videos. You provide EXCELLENT information, and make it All look so Easy .... if Only ....
Thanks for the tips✌️
Very good instructional video! One trick I use for drawing a straight line on pipe, is to lay a length of angle iron on it, such as 1"×1" ×1/8. It works very well. Larger pipe, I'd use larger angle. It self centers.
I've done that too. You don't need to measure either, unless you need to mark both sides.
Cool I am going to build my own exhaust for my C8 corvette this is invaluable to me so I will do some of your recommended shopping.
New sub, love the content bro. Thanks
Learned a lot thanks.
I love you man, thank you for this video
Awesome...Super Informative!!!
Big thanks for including the H pipe as I need to fabricate one of those for my Jeep in a few weeks and don't see any way an X pipe is going to fit.
Nice work !
helpful information...thanks
Great video, thanks
Great video you do awesome work
I've yet to see one of your videos and not come away wanting to thank you 👍
Awesome!! Artwork.
Excellent!! great video
Excellent videos
Top notch work bro from NZ
thank you very much, very much helped
You are one seriously gifted individual!! Not just a gifted fabricator but an extremely gifted teacher as well. It’s always a pleasure and a learning experience to watch anything you put out!! Thank you for being kind enough to share what God has given you with the world
You are amazing THANKS
Awesome video!!
I have to agree with Deke Bell and his 13 year old son. It's nice to see a video of this quality without all the cussing and backlash you get on other channels. Very nice. I really like your band saw too!
I made mine with a 4 inch grinder and it came out perfect
Great vid! Could have really used this 15 years ago when i made a custom turbo kit to a 3 inch downpipe y'd into dual 3" outlets on a 94 grand prix with a built 3400! Lots of trial and error lol. This will really help for my 78 dodge d150! Any ideas on using a cut off wheel for this? That's how i did the grand prix...i don't have room in my small garage or access to a band saw
Lindo trabalho, vc esta de parabéns.👏👏👏👏👏
Excellent
Thank you!
Bad ass work
Good video, thanks for the math.
Awesome video. I run a millermatic 211 obviously you are tig welding but do you have any advice for solid wire feed.
You Are awesome dude
That's real professionalism
Awesome vid! Subbed!
Great videos!
Great video
Very cool tips for when I build my own exhaust for my truck. BTW which Optrel hood are you using?
Nice video, i love this,tranks.
What band saw blade are you using
Small tip for the bandsaw for anyone. Slow the feed down, and have just enough pressure so that the slower fed blade has a chance to bite rather then skate or slide across the material. Great video Justin, quality work and content as always 😀
Andrew Lang Yes - it's a dead slow process. I should have mentioned these cut shots were sped up to 400-600% and they still look slow haha. Thanks for the tip!
The Fabrication Series No problem Justin:) I’ll say thank you for all the tips you’ve given us 😀
What TPI (Teeth per Inch) is good for .065 wall tubing?
jwright650 as high as you can find, i use a 10tpi, but super thin wall i might go to a 16tpi or finer.
I'm using a 10tpi and it rips the teeth right off the blade.
Hello @The Fabrication Series! thank you for sharing your knowledge, I would like to know if it is possible to know if I calculate custom sizing for each type of X-pipe motor together with the anti-drone J-pipe and if it is possible to calculate certain frequencies to be able to reach a desired sound as a final result. Thanks a lot.
This guy is the number one source from getting into welding.
great video!
Always thought those were high end, hard to make...let someone else do it. Excellent job of explaining, the math isn't that hard. Made my own. THANK YOU
Legend
cutting is the main point. nice skill.
Looks like a Kama bandsaw! Very precise for a bandsaw, I love mine :-D
Daniel Buck It is. This thing is a total beast.
