    I'm so glad there are people like this in the world. He makes a valve cover look like a art piece and I have trouble welding a kinda straight line.

    lets be real here. Everyone wants to learn how to tig weld aluminum or weld. The skill here is "fabrication". Welding was about 5% of this whole project. Learning to weld will get you a job, but if you want a career and make money, then you need to learn everything in this video that is not welding.

    You are seriously incredible at what you do. Awesome work. Thanks for sharing. Oh and I have no idea how you always do everything in those gloves and still so on point with everything, it’s impressive. Is there a reason behind it or is it just the way you like to work. I mean I wear gloves for a lot of different things especially work done on metal but the gloves are no where near as thick aside from when I’m welding and I always end up taking them off in the middle of what I’m doing because I can’t feel anything lol. I’m just saying you’re really good lol.

  • @vaioskaliakoudas6388
    @vaioskaliakoudas6388 5 лет назад

    I have 3 questions about this brilliant project:
    1.What a valve cover like this helps for??? (Except of the looks)
    2.How is the program you used for the design called???
    3.How did you get all the measurements for the CNC mill???

    • @dj280z
      @dj280z 5 лет назад

      1. Looks. 2. It says at the top of screen while he is doing, Rhinoceros 5. 3. The first ~45 seconds of the video show exactly how he gets the measurements.

    • @thetessellater9163
      @thetessellater9163 5 лет назад

      Of course it contains the oil which should be splashing around inside - hence the 'gasket' .

  • @henmich
    @henmich 5 лет назад

    You are one monster fabricator. There are many things that would have taxed my brain pretty hard, and you blasted right through them all.. nice work. Are you a southpaw, or do you just hold the torch like that from habit?
