Making a Rotary Ground Clamp for Welding | Shop Made Tools

Maybe machining in some grooves like on a heatsink would help with heat dissipation 🤔

Eyyyyy I love bigstackd!!!!!

Like ... why don't you use a shop vac to keep thing cleaner? Or better yet ... help you recover whatever material and use it again??

KIRTIS AND KAREN WHAT'S YOUR BEAUTIFUL DOGS NAME , THANK YOU AND ALL THE VERY BEST.

Awesome, another great projetc, thank you for sharing, I learn a lot, always a pleasure watch your dog 👍👍👍👍

You can suck the bike down with the straps, then move it forward

If it getting hot, that bolt on the side looked like it might be stainless. Stainless is a terrible conductor. Bronze is poor too.
Brass is ok. Aluminium and Copper are great.

This was another awesome piece of innovation and craftsmanship... im a new sub and ive been binging on your channel for about a week now but ive been watching bigstackd for a number of years and it was a nice surprise to see the two channels i love having some coalition... keep it up mate!

You are fearless Kurtis, the closeness of your tool to the chuck jaws on the brass bolt made me wince!

Vou fazer ...

Id trade my 1996 KLX650R for for the XR 600 or XR 650 anyday. Ive got the 08 KLX450R piped and jetted with the Powerbomb Header too. But man I do love them XRs. Bulletproof. That's what I love about the KLXs I've owned. From the 300R to 650R.

You need some copper jaw gards for you vice for delicate jobs Curtis

''it would take 1-2 hours of your time to make this'' Sure mate.

What a beautiful bit of gear. Surprised you didn't direct and catch all that swarf, coulda just about done that again.....

Great device👌👍 Cant tell you how many times I needed one.

I'm a plumber. we have a tool that we use to horizontal bore pipe under drive ways and side walks that could be easily modified for this. Wheeler Rex makes the tool .

Brass looks like one of those materials that is a joy to work with.

I really appreciate the way Jen slows down the fast forward before completing a step. It really helps maintain perspective of what goes into this process and makes the video more enjoyable.

"Oh god".....yeah?...."save me Jesus"...."he can't save you"........ahahaha!!

Those inserts prob thought they were on vacation, they loved that brass.

Again thats why you wear eye protection

Making it that well is just what you do!

Do you have to worry about zinc fumes when melting brass?

"I realize this might be a bad idea, but I'm doing it anyway" perfect attitude when trying something new!

BigstackD is probably saying “save me the brass chips”

Brass is a pain, you'll have prickly fingers for a week now. Great vid as always.

Improvement suggestion.
On conducting places, the faces where they touch, use the lathe o carve channels, so they key into each other.
This will increasing the contact surface area, with the benefit of most likely reducing electric resistance, hence less heat.

Fascinating - great video Kurtis.

I'm sorry I missed this giveaway. I live the work involved, particularly the smelting.

That's a cool piece of work!
Dunno how I missed this one....

I loved the "Karen won't let me" comment.
Your eyes and head nod seem to suggest that maybe she's said no to other things.
About right too cause you looked guilty as hell, Kurtis.
