    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.

  • @dtiydr

    It almost seem that its easier to TIG aluminium since you don't need to care about oxidation after a weld since that is actually just good for better corrosion resistance and never have any color to it so its never seen anyway.
