| 00:00 | This brings us to the end of our Motorsport MIG welding course. |
| 00:03 | Throughout all of these modules, we've covered nearly all there is to know about MIG welding and hopefully this has given you a far better understanding of the processes and the practical skills involved. |
| 00:13 | My hope is that after immersing yourself in this course, you've understood that MIG welding is an efficient, effective and completely achievable welding method that has many uses in motorsport fabrication. |
| 00:24 | Remember you own this course and it's yours for life so feel free to spend some time revisiting any modules that you feel you need a better understanding of. |
| 00:33 | Before we finish up, I'd like to take a quick moment to highlight a few key areas of this course that I feel are well worth spending more time on. |
| 00:40 | Firstly, there's absolutely no substitute for good quality personal protective equipment. |
| 00:47 | Feeling comfortable in full length overalls while having clear vision through a good quality welding helmet and protecting your hands with a pair of comfortable MIG gloves are all things that can have hugely positive effects on your ability to MIG weld at the highest level while keeping you safe. |
| 01:03 | It's also important that you understand when different settings are required and how they affect your weld and the weld position that you're in. |
| 01:11 | It might be tempting to set and forget your MIG welder but a small adjustment in your settings may be the difference between a good and a perfect weld. |
| 01:19 | Also keep in mind that while some of our machines may be programmed with a synergic feature, it won't be perfect for every scenario. |
| 01:26 | I suggest you revisit our practical skills section regularly to understand where a setting may be adjusted and how this could benefit your project. |
| 01:35 | Next, and yes we have discussed this a number of times already, but never underestimate the importance of cleanliness in MIG welding. |
| 01:44 | We don't always get the opportunity to weld new metals in motorsport but we can always make sure that they're prepared to the best of our ability. |
| 01:52 | This creates a knock on effect in that every following process becomes more efficient and easier, saving time and resulting in clean, consistent and strong welds. |
| 02:03 | We've mentioned a number of times that there's no better time than now to buy a MIG welder. |
| 02:07 | By using this course and watching the MIG Machine Buyer's Guide module, you should now have a good understanding of what your own home or workshop can supply power to. |
| 02:16 | If you're in the market, make sure that you revisit this module so that you know exactly what you should be looking for. |
| 02:22 | No one is going to lay down a perfect weld on their very first or even their 10th try. |
| 02:28 | Practice absolutely makes perfect and everything will become second nature with sufficient time using the MIG torch. |
| 02:35 | We never stop learning and the more you do, the better you'll become so don't forget to check in with our community forum regularly. |
| 02:42 | I'm sure we'll have the answer to any question or problem you might have. |
| 02:46 | It's an exciting time to be a motorsport fabricator and we now have some incredible technologies at our fingertips. |
| 02:52 | This has all made the ability to MIG weld even easier with better quality results. |
| 02:58 | I'd like to wish you all the best of luck with your welding projects and thanks for choosing to learn with High Performance Academy. |
