Impossible to Make Control Arms! JK They're Pretty Easy. Mighty Max Ep: 20

Realy like your videos. But i Think you have made a mistake. A dangerous one. The original upper control arm design allows for "thin" sleeves because the control arm isnt welded on . But welded in! This way the sleeves won't be pulled oval. With your design, the sleeves are welded on and now the sleeves schould be thicker, much thicker!

Aaron, three things: love the tip of adding weight to the small pieces cut on the chop saw - I will be stealing this; great solution using the router with a burr - never thought of that and another tip I’ll be stealing; and number 3, thanks for the reminder to get up from the toilet to get the blood back into my legs. Cheers!

Thank you for the tip on using visegrips to postpone the launch sequence for smaller pieces being cut off.

ahhh, the joys of learning welding and fabrication... Experiencing similar joys myself....

It’s really refreshing that you share your missteps! Was kinda surprised that you didn’t set up a stop on your cold saw for the rounds you cut. The intermission was awesome!!! Oil and welding have never really got along! The “sculpted” holes look great!!! The ball joint angle is now something else to consider, had to watch that segment a couple times!! Love your content, editing, style!!

Unless you're a professional the road to a sweet ride is paved with mistakes. I like your work keep it up.

Man I really need a carbide chop saw.
Cool build!
A fixture is worth its weight in gold.

Hello Hello From Victoria Canada!!! That was the best episode I've seen you do so far on your channel! Even though I am fairly new to your fab community, I have learned so much from each different episode its amazing. I really wish I had you for a metal/mechanics shop teacher in high school, because my life might have gone a different direction. You demonstrated to all the new fab guys or gals watching you, that there are a lot of pro modder friendly tools like using the router. Like you opted for the dimple die look to finish the welds, "That is what I was yelling for my choice at the laptop when you asked what would we do", but there are so many different ways you could have made the flat plate surface pop with engraved designs. There aren't many fabricator guys or gals that think of using tools made for woodworking, when they have to make something custom on their rides or for their shops. If you use a rounded or a fine tip die bit in a router you could have engraved lettering, or some incredible decorative scroll designs like tribal tattoos or because it is your sweetie's ride, she might have liked a swirling scrolling vine design. You can also use a router table to mount a die grinder and do the most awesome edges rounded, chamfered, beveled or an even more detailed decorative edge done with two die profiles to really go making custom one off stuff. A table saw with a 10" metal cutting chop saw wheel makes long plate cuts a breeze or raise the disc just enough to scribe a long plate for bending, as long as the arbor diameter matches you can even mount a 12" or 14" disc if there is clearance for even cleaner straight cuts. Sorry for getting to into the tool thing, but I am in both worlds metal and wood so I get passionate about my tools. Keep up the awesome content and I can't wait to see more on your channel and see where your future episodes will take us all. I don't know if you get to read all your many comments, but I hope you and all those near or dear to you, stay safe, have good health, have good luck and find as much happiness as you can possibly enjoy. (All your Youtube community included)
🤘😁👍

Aaron, I’ve binged every single one of your videos in the last 3 days! I’m glad that YouTube is finally showcasing your channel. Keep moving forward! (One of my favorite YT catch phrases)!

The man, the myth, the legend... Mr. Mankandy himself! hahahah. I screamed out loud when you mentioned me lmao, was not expecting that. Great video and roller coaster ride, kept me glued to the screen!! Excited to see this collab, I think i have an idea who he is... You're killing the YT game! Keep on truckin'

The mill scale coating can piss off the welds also. Clean off anything that might end up into the weld pool.

You remind me of a teacher I had in college who was very excited about the subject she taught and that made the class me lectures very fun to be in.

Also, I was yelling at the screen for Swiss cheese. Glad you heard me.

Also, also… ball joints.

I am so glad you addressed the ball joint angle at the end. I was really curious how that worked. Every time I watch your videos I realize how much I don’t know about suspensions.

I enjoy the humor and the info your videos provide…don’t stop, move forward!👍

Nice delivery. You have to like this guy.

The vice grips on a cut off saw trick was worth the price of subscription!

You check all the boxes for awesome, entertaining, and funny fab videos.
:)

Very entertaining, I like your sense of humor.

I wasn't yelling....I was nodding ...pipes!

When the welds in the spacers didn’t turn out right you could chuck it up in the vise and re drill the holes with the same bit. It will make a smooth bore and you could tig a decorative bead around the surface of the holes to cover up the undercut
