Good to see you again, those Scorpions are really good. I recently talked a fabricator into getting an induction heating unit, he was really pleased as the hardness achieved was pretty uniform. I much prefer TIG to MIG, I was working over Newark in the US and the power of their MIG was not too good. In fact I couldn't even get an undercut on it, not that I wanted to, so it was really underpowered. Really cool fabrication, see you next time, take care and be well 👍

Outstandingly delightful scorpions, so enchanting to the eye. For battery saving, you could use a low drop out regulator which would be much cheaper & with fewer parts more reliable. My low cost plasma cutter came with a bar of copper soldered where the fuse should be! Replaced with a fuse, but as I mostly cut 18-20 gauge steel, it works fine at low output. Great review of the welder & its fault. For me I weld far more with stick than tig or mig, after watching various video by Indian makers & realizing how general purpose stick rods can do a lot of things, even relatively thin stuff if you keep welds very short, minimizing the heat input. If you have time could you do a bit of moon lighting & fix the UK economy. Thanks for sharing!

Very intricate design and awesome design features such the hot riveting of the connections. I do have two points of critique though. Always put a resistor in series with an led to limit its current. Leds are current dependent. When shrinking heat shrink with a lighter, don't hold the heat shrink directly into the flame, because it will burn quickly. You can even see the heat shrink having signs of combustion in the video. Regarding the buck converter, the efficiency is not a constant over the entirety of its voltage range. Personally I wouldn't have used a 9V battery to begin with. I'd use two AA rechargeable cells with a boost converter or just a voltage regulator, an LDO for example, and a led with lower forward voltage. If you match the forward voltage of your led to your supply voltage, little voltage will fall across your resistor and thus very little energy will be wasted in terms of heat as the resistor value can be lower.

Instead of the sticky back paper, have you tried just painting the metal with a light coat of black paint or whatever works with your laser and then just lasering the image on? I do it all the time since the laser is not strong enough to Mark the metal. I've even tried dry erase markers which also works quite well and very easy to take off in the end. But it's hard to get a nice even coating with dry erase because if you accidentally hit the same spot twice, it almost takes it off

Any short circuit mig is going to struggle getting toot peneration past 5 or 6 mm even good brands. Really you need spray arc which is over 30 volts on c25 gas. If you use a higher argon content 92% argon 5% co2 & 3% oxygen Argosheild light from Boc or similar. You can get into Spray around 27 volts. More expensive machines give you more options though like WFS control and pulse features are usually better thought out. Your ac Tig aluminium problem is probably the balance, some machines calculate the balance off the EP some of EN. Try 30 then try 70 See what happens.

I was interested to see that a 9V battery is ~4.5 Wh and AA is only 3.9 Wh, so the 9V should outlast two 1.5V AA in series! Add to that the buck unit regulating a solid 3V for most of that 4.5 Wh and that's a solid solution. I'm not sure I would have thought of using a 9V battery. Good thinking! An 18650 with a USB C TP4056 could make them rechargeable? Voltage range would be ~ 4.2V to 3V. The calculator suggests you need a tiny little current limiting resistor to protect the LED like 2.5 Ohm so you might get away without one at all at the cost of the LED maybe lasting slightly less than the rated 50,000 hours. They have about 10 Wh capacity. I'd recommend a protected cell to prevent over/under charging. It's worth spending a couple of extra pounds to get a high quality one from a reputable source other than eBay. They could have them on charge between uses so they're always ready and don't need a stack of expensive 9V to periodically replace/run out whilst in use by a customer.
