@@WhitelandRestorations Certainly, and lots of people know that. But *doing* it while people are making first steps with high voltages, light of blinding intensity, and melting metal, in a highly inflammable environment, is a very different proposition. I have problems staying that calm teaching people the grammar of dead languages. Impressed.
Well done Lewis for excellent guidance. It's welding season, poor old Mat Furious has been welding the equivalent of a battleship on his Ford Vic for months, Steph idriveaclassic has just started learning to weld her crusty Marina and now the Hubnuts.
Its a really good skill to learn when you have old cars. The real fun* is when you are laying on a driveway trying to weld an inner sill above your head, eslecially when you get molten metal down your neck!
It’s so good to see which effort you make to get and keep Chemmy on the road! That’s a responsible use of resources and very sustainable! I really appreciate it! 👍👍👍 My C1 has to go to the garage (that I rely on for years) in a week to make her ready for the “Hauptuntersuchung” [MOT] in November. One wheel bearing makes futuristic music and one headlight makes trouble…
Great to see Lewis passing on his skills, many professionals are reluctant to do this. I was told to practice on scrap when learning. So Ian & Carly should be pretty good, when that cars finished.
I have done quite a bit of welding on cars myself, but the challenge always remains to have enough clean sheet metal left to weld against, especially in the wheel arches and small spaces. Not bad for Ian and Carly for their first welding lesson.
Don't know if you mentioned it in the video ? But it is important to make sure that the welding repair hasn't got anything behind the repair such as carpet plastic trim or cables etc. But not a bad first attempt by Ian and Carly
It's such a difficult job welding a car for the first time,so well done to you both & respect to Lewis who is an excellent teacher & a master mechanic in every sense of restoration. 👍
Impart the basics and then practice, practice. Setting the welder is half the job. I have never progressed much beyond plug welds myself really for this thin a substrate. 👍
I don't envy you doing that as welding steel that thin can be quite difficult. I used to blow holes quite often until i got the heat settings and wire speed right. For me ARC welding is so much easier.
I've blown holes in 1.5mm thick ERW ... can't think how much harder thin sheet is to weld! Perhaps my cheap mig welder (reconditioned returned stock) was cheap for a reason!
I can see Carly has this welding sewn, rotten cars repaired every day It's really hard getting close to the metre of 'I can see Deirdre now Lorraine has gone', think you did far better than I!
You mean like the Toyota Tercel he ended up selling? Don't get me wrong, I loved that car to bits but it would have been a full restoration, even if not quite to Disaster Datsun standards.

That is magnificent teaching. Calm and unhurried, supportive but not afraid to point out defects. Also, cheers for Rosie the Hubnutter.
It's the best way to help someone learn a new skill really isn't it

Well done. Carly is a natural, but then both Ian and Carly were taught by the Jedi Master welder. The Welding Force is strong with Lewis.
Lewis the Jedi Master! Keep your eyes peeled.... There's a rebel logo hidden somewhere in the workshop 😜
What a brilliant and patient teacher. Well done Ian and Carly!!
Your patience is commendable. Carly and Ian so much waffle! Carly is clearly a fast learner. 🚙🚙
It's always good to watch a professional at the top of his game. I could have learnt so much more at school had there been teachers as patient as you.
Thanks so much! Best teacher ever. We'll soon see on our channel how much worse the rot got...
It's turning into a series of its own 😁

Seems to be in the air doesn't it!

That should be lesson number 2 😂
Good to see everyone chipping in and the progress being made
Lewis has skilz, teaching the Hubnuts welding this week, last week he was building SMs faster than Citroën ever did!
Ha! Isn't that the truth! 😂

Oooh good luck with the C1! Hopefully just a few little niggles
Well done Ian and carly

Lewis always has time to help people when they want to learn something. He really enjoys passing on skills!

Yep, sometimes finding something solid to weld through is a challenge!
Well done to the teacher and the students. Looking good
Excellent work by Mr & Mrs Hubnut
It does help to have a patient and expert tutor
Has been a brilliant video
More to come, it's turning into a little mini series!

We didn't, but we did check and have someone on smoke watch. Good advice.
This is GREAT content leading up to the NEC.
Loving the content, as I follow both channels.
Restorers of the Galaxy....
Well done both, I'm just learning to wrld myself, at 66, it's hard but I'm picking up some super tips from watching you guys learning.
Never to late to learn a new skill, keep at it!
Miss hubnote well done. We all had to start somewhere. And the bender and the cutter are a huge help
It's such a difficult job welding a car for the first time,so well done to you both & respect to Lewis who is an excellent teacher & a master mechanic in every sense of restoration. 👍
Thank you for your kind words!
I think Miss HubNut has a new career looming. Sorry Ian, but on the bright side you may end up with an in-house welder 😁
Impart the basics and then practice, practice. Setting the welder is half the job. I have never progressed much beyond plug welds myself really for this thin a substrate. 👍
Nicely done folks.
They did great didn't they!
I use an electric nibbler for cutting out patches, easier than tin snips.
I don't envy you doing that as welding steel that thin can be quite difficult. I used to blow holes quite often until i got the heat settings and wire speed right. For me ARC welding is so much easier.
Can be very tricky especially on the thin stuff
I've blown holes in 1.5mm thick ERW ... can't think how much harder thin sheet is to weld!
Perhaps my cheap mig welder (reconditioned returned stock) was cheap for a reason!
Superb stuff. I miss welding.
TC on hold now then?
@@2Wheels4Wheels. At the moment yes. I need to get the Rover welded and Pinky has risen from her slumber 😁
We also have a big guillotine but it's just as important to learn how to do things by hand sometimes
more fun on fire duty with oxy acetylene welding/ brazing, ahh the good old day 🤣 at least the battery could stay connected 😛
Good first effort. Cad = Carly Aided Design.
Carly Aided Design love it!
Carly is actually pretty good at this.
That new huge hole is going to be a bugger, CAD will be needed.
She's great isn't she! Lots of CAD coming up lol
And welcome carly and ian
I can see clearly now the frame has gon. Now that there no obstacles in my way.
I can see Carly has this welding sewn, rotten cars repaired every day
It's really hard getting close to the metre of 'I can see Deirdre now Lorraine has gone', think you did far better than I!
When saw the start of the video I was thinking Ford Escort bulk head all over again.
Oh god no.... not Escort level thank goodness!
GLOVES....! There is NOTHING sharper then a rough-cut metal edge.
PS. Great to see these two learning some restoration skills. Go for it!
Nowt like welding under a petrol tank !
AY UP MR AND MRS HUBNUT
Good stuff - bit more practice and Ian will be buying all kinds of rotten rubbish with a nonchalant " I can weld that " belief in their abilities.
You mean like the Toyota Tercel he ended up selling?
Don't get me wrong, I loved that car to bits but it would have been a full restoration, even if not quite to Disaster Datsun standards.
So many more opportunities to buy 😁
Weld done everyone.
baboomtish!
👏👏👏
for give mark out 10 of 8 weld hub nut / miss hub nut
At least they have a very good machine…..all i have is a gasless…more messy
The right kit really does make a difference when learning
