1. Put some gloves on please. Not only for the hot metal slag but the strong UV light this emits. Also if you weld stainless steel, you need stainless steel filler wire.

   For money, you might be better off making your own chainplate using fiberglass/carbon fiber and epoxy lamination.

2. Very interesting Mark..I learned something too..maybe one day try it myself..although first my leaking teak deck😅. See you in 2024!!🎉

3. Merry Christmas to you and your family

4. Welcome welcome.nice to have you back JT.Merry Christmas mark to you and mom and dad John 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐟🐠🎣🛥🌴

5. Mark
   I just want to say I'm glad you never gave up your dream. Your Mom and Dad are so nice and helpful. Welding you have the best teachers your Dad and Pete lots of knowledge. Think I'm going to ask my Manager at work to buy us a welder, for sure check the scrap yard for stainless.
   Good luck
   Merry Christmas to you and your Mom and Dad.

6. Make carbon fiber chain plates, it does not require bolts, is stronger, don't break, rust or leak. It is bonded to the hull and the load can be spread down into the hull.

7. You're very luck to have such wonderful family and friends.
   Great first time welding better than some who reclaim to be welders😅
   Great advice, mentors, preparation and determination which you seem to have are key to success 👍 .
   Enjoy your break and have Great happy Christmas with family and friends 🎉 and congrats to your brother and his future wife 🙏👍👌

8. Mets des gants de soudeur, une main sur la gâchette, une main sur la torche pour diriger ta soudure en faisant des 8

9. I would ge the angle of the two plates correct to the hull and bulk head so as to not stress the panels when you install the plates. Really impressed with how quickly you pick up the welding skills. so of how you have grown as a handy man. Much needed when owning a boat. Have a great Christmas with lots of family fun. enjoy

10. Merry Christmas Mark! Love the video's. You are taking us on quite a journey and I really enjoy it. Your dad is a rock star and so is your uncle.

11. Brilliant video Mark, excellent bit of welding and as I live on a boat full time I think I will invest in one of those welders, Merry Christmas to you and your family, looking forward to seeing new videos next year,

12. 👍

13. Very good idea to do your welding yourself, I have done 316 welding a lot with arc welder (due to cost), interesting to see how mig will be working. I have used a lot used metal parts, cost is much cheaper.

14. Goog luck Mark you are doing a good job. Merry Xmas to you and family and a Happy New Year

15. Make tiny semicircles when welding.

16. I used to some old style "stick welding" on steel. I used the gorilla theory- STRONG AND UGLY!!!!!

17. I don't see a fiberglass boat needing a box welder on board. Doing yoor own welding is pointless , unless you have a steel or aluminum boat. Weldling like a rookie is creating a point of failure at the chainplate.. But, you have DIY vessel, why can we complain,? Your sure to have such a critical weld xrayd and inspected before mounting it.

18. The flux core wire will be perfect for welding outside as the shield gas gets blown away if you weld in a windy boat yard.

19. Hey Buddy, loving your videos – Merry Xmas. Your plans for the chain plates are way over-engineered. A strap shaped to fit the cabin sides and down to the hull is all that is required. The large area tying in the bulkhead is impressive and would be very strong, but is just unnecessary, particularly given the relatively low loading of the Wharram rigs. You don't want to be doing a lot of unnecessary work – you have plenty of other things that need doing.

20. mig welding outside will be shite wind will blow away your shielding gas away ,,, someone who has welded ss all my life and now 71 years old ,,, dont doit ,, stay with mma

21. I see where you get the lack of forward thinking from. Screwing those pieces of ply together on a square bit of wood only to find the corner isn't square…

22. Am I the only follower that thinks that welding some structural items should be left to the professional welder? Every farmer has a welder.

23. Merry Christmas Mark to you and your family !

24. the cleaner the material to be welded. very clean and a clean earth to welcome to arc city, mind those eyeballs

25. I have 2 welding machines. 1 with thread without gas bottle. And it is very difficult to find the right wire. With electrodes, you have to make sure you get the right ones. But they are also available for stainless steel. Stainless steel.

26. Hi mark, scrap yards are a great source of stainless, and the scrap value is pretty low to. Rooting for this build mate. I live in Chorley and I’m a engineer. Let me know if need any help with anything engineery ✌🏻

27. Bedankt

28. Well done Mark. Your skill bank is improving with help from your super Dad, and now you're uncle. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Nadolig Llawen.

29. I found that the big supply cases won't want to sell small amounts, but I phoned around engineering shops that make stuff with stainless and they sold me offcuts. You definitely don't want to double up thinner plate because you'll get crevis corosion in there i think. Also 316 is marine stainless, 304 isn't.
    Maybe there is a scrap metal place that sells to the public? These are getting harder to find where I am but they still exist, and you might find offcuts you can use. You might save money making your parts from bar rather than plate. But these days the better option would be to get the exact shapes you want lazer/waterjet cut, you'll pay for the area and a cutting fee, but just what you need, and much more accurate than you would have done with an angle grinder!

30. If it sounds like sizzling bacon, you've set the welder up right. If it smells like bacon you're on fire.

    I'd recommend converting it to hobby-weld bottles ASAP. Those little argon bottle run out super quick.

31. OK SO BORING

32. As a novice boat-builder, I'm wondering whether stainless steel is necessary for your boat? Don't feel insulted, but the original Warrams were built out of tar and cotton so wouldn't galvanised steel or just plain steel that you could treat with paint do the trick? I know stainless looks awesome, but keeping within budget and getting her on the water is the most important thing. Good luck.

33. hold nozzle closer to the material it will improve gas coverage and aid penetration, nozzle should be nearly touching, too much wire out cuts voltage at contact point.I'm certified all position stick and wire and tig.

34. You have a bow in the back at the end of the video you need to remove the string from the bow when you put it away so the bow keps the power and dosent get weeker 👍 Nice video

35. Get in there more with ya nozzle-tip your losing gas it’ll be cleaner and get in the metal more for a stronger weld. Get some nozel dip.

36. Great video, remembering what it was like from our circumnavigation in the 1980s, presently sailing the Eastern Atlantic, headed for Brazil. My wife's book is a good one, published by Austin Macauley of New York, and available on Amazon, literally a fictional story of sailing and adventure: "Seychelle and the Cannabis Yachties". It is very entertaining, hoping you will give it a read and review.

37. Hey mate. Couple of things with those little migs….

    Ive used mine for doing rust repairs on cars, building trailers etc, their quite capable but dont bother trying to to TIG on them, they just dont have the settings.

    When your finished always take the regulater of the bottle, those taps always leak a little and youll have no gas when you go to weld

    A great accessory that people dont think of is a MAP gas torch or even a descent butane torch. Ive but welded 12mm steel plate with my little mig just by preheating both 12mm plates and doing a root pass and a few cover passes after Ving the join. Exen if your welding 5mm to 1mm you can preheat the 5mm to make things easier, tgeir also great for bending steel/ally/stainless etc.

    Oh and if you dont already, invest in a good quality automatic helmet, cheap ones dont kick in quick enough and youll have tyred eyes by the end of a welding session. Not only that but youve only got 2 eyes and their quite handy but only when they work!!!. Welders flash is no fun. Neithers rayburn so always wear long sleves and pants at MINIMUM.

    Also only weld galvanised steel outside, gal poisoning may not kill you if you do it once or twice but everything tastes bad for a day or 2.

    Any clean your weld area before you start welding, make a world of difference, even with a cheap wire wheel on the drill.

    Keep up the good work champ, a year or 2 and youll be sitting in the Caribbean sipping margaritas!!!

38. Have a great Christmas with your family. Catch you next year. Awesome last year and I feel next will be even better for you.

39. Festive greetings from OZ hope to see you set sail for warmer climbs

40. If your uncle hasn’t already discussed it look in to pickling and passivating stainless steel. I think i’ve mentioned it here before when you were cutting your stainless but in a marine environment pickling and passivating stainless is vital to prevent the stainless and stainless weld from rusting after it has been highly heated from cutting and welding. I didn’t see you mention it when you swapped your gas over for the stainless but you absolutely need stainless wire for welding stainless otherwise the mild steel welding wire will rust through very quickly and using stainless plate will be a waste of time. If you are looking at 304 plate for the chainplate backing plates you may as well consider using mild steel and getting it hot dip galvanised and then painted – inside the boat away from the elements it may be a reasonable and cost effective alternative allowing you to put more money into where the corrosion resistance is more vital outside.

41. Merry Christmas and Enjoy Your Time With Family!

42. Huge thanks for Uncle Pete, your Dad and Mom for making a wonderful "My First Christmas Welding Holiday"! Mark, yours is my most favorite YouTube channel, and I'm always excited to share in your journey.

43. Merry Christmas!! Welders are like pickup trucks. Once you have one you wonder how you made it this long without it.keep up the good work and keep sharing. Happiest of holidays to your family!!

44. Keep one of the scrap bits you learned on its fun to see them years later

45. Also hope yall are having a great Christmas

46. Go to a scrap yard for the stainless steel!

47. A point about welding stainless steels – the heating of the metal can actually "break" the stainless property of the steel. Without going into too much detail, heat control is really important to reduce rust. Also, don't double up two sheets of steel. You'll get moisture that sits inside and that'll fuck you up, even with stainless. It is stain*less* not stainnever. Consider giving the metal a surface treatment before mounting, like an epoxy paint or something hard. Salt water is an excellent rust promoter.

48. Well done you. Only thing is I would have gone for an esab welder. It is more expensive but it does give better welds. When getting welding supplies go to a welding supply shopped not a hobby shop. Hope you and you folks have a good Christmas

49. Flux: prevents oxides from forming.

50. Use 316L and not 304 stainless, 304 will rust on the welds badly. Buy flat bar and not sheet as it is far cheaper, may have to adapt your design a bit but 50x6mm flat bar 316L isn’t too pricey.
