I am gradually mastering TIG. My mistakes are clearly visible in the macro shots. The device is Bohler uranos 2200 ac/dc ❗️Generous support :) - https://boosty.to/kak_smog ❗️For those who are not in Russia - / kak_smog I am currently working on a rather complex and interesting video, where I plan to use a lot of beautiful footage. In order for the shooting to be at the highest level, I need to make a special device. I decided that the manufacturing process itself would be interesting to my viewers, because I will be using my new welding machine for the first time. The result of my efforts should be a device that allows the camera to rotate around the object being filmed so that it is always directed at it, and the rotation axis is located directly under the object. I decided to create an aluminum bracket of a complex shape, lightweight and easy to use. The upper part of the bracket will be equipped with a special nut for attaching a camera or phone. The bracket should be easily attached to the table, and it is important that it has the ability to adjust the length and height, as well as a rotation radius of about 180 degrees. The structure will move along a predetermined sector, although, of course, it is not perfect. My task is to do everything that is needed, although there may be more competent solutions. I do as best I can, and it looks like this: the bracket is attached to the table, a rod with two rods rotating on bearings comes out of it, one of which telescopes out. There is also a telescopic tube that can be extended upwards. The whole structure is assembled together by welding aluminum, which is a particularly difficult task due to the various angles and the need to create fasteners that could withstand the load and ensure the stability of the entire system. In the process, I encountered many difficulties, including optimizing the welding parameters and working technique. Using my new welding machine, I tried to weld parts ranging from simple joints to complex multi-level structures, which required not only technical knowledge but also a creative approach. Each step of the process required adaptation and improvement, and not everything was perfect the first time. For example, I learned many techniques for welding aluminum, learned the importance of controlling temperature and feed rate, and even learned how to determine the right parameters for different thicknesses of metal. The final result of the work is not only a physical product, but also a wealth of observations, conclusions, and lessons learned along the way. In each video, I tried to share this knowledge with my subscribers, explaining in detail each step and every decision made along the way. So, the process of creating this filming fixture was not just a metalworking task, but also a journey into the world of engineering and physics, where every detail and every parameter matters. In the end, this not only helped improve the quality of my videos, but also greatly expanded my knowledge and skills as a designer.
