So refreshing see a young person and female at that learning a craft rather than just wanting to be a "social media influencer". I started as a tool maker and fabricator, miss being able to work in a proper workshop
Thats right, its nice to see young girl who is making stuff wich require thinking. Social media are cancer, many girls are chasing likes instead do something more productive.
thank fuck you said it, i was thinking that same thing, to many women nowadays want to sit back do nothing but snapchat facebook, youtube whats app, ectt... get a job for christ sakes.
@whoispriest Facts!
Bloody well said..
You simply can't beat hand crafted parts to your specifications. Well done Beth, superb job. Even your background music is perfect, calming and soothing. Keep up the great work👍
Randomly saw this video in my suggested videos.
Watched from start to finish and enjoyed every second.
A very talented and skilled young lady with a bright future ahead.
So refreshing to see more women dominating the workshops.
For all the feminists who want a strong female roll model, here is one. And without blaming everyone else why it is so hard. I think she does a fantastic job. 👍🏻👍🏻
Tig welding aluminum is very difficult. Especially with fuel.
Damn it u beat me to that !!! i have the same opinion so #metoo i guess
She will still get paid less than a male peer.
@@Danirio96 that is nonsense
@@outsideworld76 it's not, it's data
Only needs one word to describe Beth, 'Awesome'!
I work as a sheet metal worker we make 300 to 500 Ltr fuel tanks for generators and tanks for fire protection as well as other fabricating work and watching you doing all the work from start to finish amazes me. Keep up the wonderful work most of all keep safe
How nice to see a young RUclips fabricator wearing gloves while TIG welding. Keep up the good work and intelligent use of your tools.
Eric
Yeah if u AC weld without gloves better not have sweaty hands....
And a grinder with a gaurd on not the normal youtube stuff welding in short sleves and grinders with no gaurd or handle😮
somebody get her a Bad Obsession Mototsport cup for her tea!
Having just watched someone on RUclips make a slightly shoddy aluminium fuel tank, I thought I'd look for someone doing it as I thought it should have been done, and here we have a good example of doing it right.
Being 59 yrs old it's very nice to see the younger generation doing quality work and learning a needed trade! It's also nice to see a young lady learning a craft!
Awesome, a younger person wanting too and taking the interest in learning a actual useable trade rather than a " I have a college degree " with no job.
My hats off to ya keep it I think your awesome.
What a wonderful video! Thank you.
As someone who is utterly useless at all forms of DIY, I have huge admiration for anyone who can make things out of metal, wood or brick.
Just came across this video..Sheet metal bending, tig welding with a perfect weaving style and uniform beads..
You are a very skilled crafts"man".
from an old school boilermaker here in Oz glad to see the ladies take up this awesome skill, hope more follow in your foot steps. great job on the tank btw, very tidy
I loved seeing a young woman in a metal fabrication trade, well done you 👍. I was watching your technique, there are some improvements you can make, like all comments take as much of it as you want. First, your dobbing the filler wire, when you should be feeding it in. Feeding will allow you to better control you weld pool/puddle size and temperature. Also feeding reduces the possibility of tungsten inclusion/contamination. Second, i could see when you're welding you're just holding the torch. Im sure you've noticed the weight of that lead when you trying to get certain positions. Wrap the torch lead around your arm a few times, allowing for a little slack at your wrist, this will allow you to freely move your hand and torch as required and your arm will take the weight of the lead. Third, when your cutting metal and creating dust, especially aluminium, put a damn respirator on! You're a talented young woman, dont go wrecking your lungs. I was a welder for 15 years, i moved on to become a aircraft engineer and still do the odd job. The biggest thing i learned in tig weld was patients, dont be in a rush, set yourself up and youll put out a good weld. Fyi it might be a good idea to purge your tanks with some agron before fully welding; better and more uniformed penetration. If youve ever got some questions just shoot me a message and ill do my best to answer. Keep up the awesome vids
Works with metal, no broken nails....master class.
How milky was that cup of tea ! Shocking.... Apart from that, great work 👍🏻😂
I was going to say the same thing...glad it's not just me. Please tell me put sugar in it though?
She likes what she likes!
To each, their own.
I loved watching this. I'm hoping to learn these skills soon as I want to build motorbikes and be able to fabricate as much as possible myself. Just wish I learned how to 30yrs ago! Never too old to learn though.
You have the right attitude to learn. A lot of people myself included use the excuse that am getting too old to learn. But we can if we set our minds to it.
I know that's not easy job, but I'm glad to see female fabricates that.
Thank you 👍
Amazing ! All these kids that leave school and work in dead end jobs , I was a apprentice I think you are a credit to yourself good on you girl !
It`s good to see young ,skilled girls or boys , doing nice craftmanship . Keep up the good work :-)
Nice consistent looking welds - you are very talented one :) One hint for you - if you doing any aluminium (or 316 welding equip yourself with ventilated welding helmet or fume extractor at least. Fumes of aluminium are extremely poisonous. Beside lungs damage you can suffer from neurological issiues (problems with concentration, regres of cognitive functions), major hair loss and lower bone density. Also auminium vapors can cause infertility.
You did a great job I’m happy to see a young women In the profession keep blazing trails!!!!
I watch tons of welding videos and it troubles me how most people do not prep a weld like you so excellently did.. Most people do not gap their welds. you try to point out that they can't achieve complete joint penetration without a proper gap and you get dismissed..
I took welding in college and the women were better than most men. it's all about dexterity..
outstanding job !!!
You have better skills than most blokes who's been fabricating for years.. Well done
Great tip, using the insertable tool holder and block to hold that bent piece in place.
Good old box & pan folder and manual guilly ha. Was a bit worried when i saw the gaps u had to weld up but u bossed it. Fair play 👌
Una maquina la chavala, en 40 años de profesión solo había visto a otra compañera, era alemana y de eso hace mucho. Enhorabuena. 👏👏👏
loved it took me back many years ago of freeing brit fab shops , the best bit getting more weight on the treadle of that old edwards guillotine, many time needed big blokes,surprised the sheet wasnt secured ,most times it will walk, great welding ,mines gone to shit as i cant see , one other thing i would have welded the pickup tube at its base , as i had them fracture , but real great to see a young girl enjoying her work , so few want to learn fab skills
That’s some really neat welding, especially aluminium.
Such a talent to be able to weld like that using the Tig!
Very nice but just some helpful tips when welding Aluminium.
1 .Always clean your weld joints throughly even if it's new metal as the more of the oxide layer you can remove the better your welds are.
2.Always handle the clean metal with nitrile gloves or a pair of tig gloves only used for Aluminium welding.
The reason I say this is oil from your hands or any contaminates from the work shop can get into your weld.
3.Wipe your filler rods down with acetone and your weld area for cleanness.
These are observations and you may of done this off camera but I would include this as people that weld take note of this.
Loving the manual guillotine and box folder.
Great, not many ladies I know choose to do this kind of work....👍👍👍
lovely work... glad to see an old punch press in use... I miss them..
Hay Beth great welding and fabrication. I may have a hint for you. When cutting aluminium with a cut off wheel put candle wax on the blade same with sanding it lubricates it and stops it blocking the wheel. It's will leave very little but and cuts like a hot knife in butter🙃
Excellent Work Beth and great to see you doing it
Tanks are one of my favorite things to fab and repair. Great job.! Thanks for sharing.
Subscribed! Didn’t know about you until 20 minutes ago. It is truly a pleasure to watch younger folks coming onto their own within their chosen trade... even the ones who speak a language I don’t understand. I now have a new channel to binge on when the snow flies.
My grandaughter is a certified & trained auto mechanic, and her only complaint is that she lacks the body weight to perform some of the heavier tasks.
I love this young lady's fabrication skills & attention to detail.
A bit of advice..., get a 20+ lb divers weight belt so that she'll have the added "butt", to "kick" the shear! I had the same problem when I started out as a 150lb apprentice.
Peace!
You are very talented regardless of gender . Your shop is very well equipped . So how many of you work at usherengineering ? I only found your sight today by chance . No regrets! Beth , you have a great mentor. Make sure you pass your skills on later in life. I've been in the motor Industry for over 50 years and l'm constantly disappointed by the way for various reasons the knowledge isn't passed on. Great stuff.
You really love your father he taught you very well....be proud...most woman at your age still cant do they're nails properly......
Wish I could make one myself this good... maybe one day
The craftsmanship and time put into the project along with the pride in doing things the right way is why I subscribed. Can't wait to see what is next!
I have been in the welding industry for 30 plus years, that looks great. It reminds me of me when I welded aluminum 8 hrs a day, I am glad I stumbled on your channel, I will definitely check back time to time,
Beautiful piece of welding and fabrication .
Hey! A lady welder/fabricator! More power to you, Young Lady! Come on Lady welders! Show the guys what you all can do! 👍👍👍👍👍
Just stumbled across the escort build vids in my suggested vids ( watched all 9 so far ) now I’m on to this ...the power of you tube !
Great work Beth !!
I want one for my mini - when lock down is over I will pop over to see you guys.
Impressive ! Also that you don't need a chill block to eliminate distortion.
Love watching you do your thing Beth, keep 'em coming! 🤘
I am French, and I dream of your automotive culture! creative, ingenious and passionate! Thank you for sharing !
You've got some fantastic old machinery there proper old school stuff 👍 your work on the tank was exceptional well done
Wow..no duck face? No kardashian clone? OUTSTANDING!
that really made me laugh 😂
Very impressed with your TIG welding. Awesome skills. Thanks for sharing.
I’d be tanked, if I’d have welded like that. Fuel your passion! 😜
Thank you so much! I’m not a welder but I want to make a gas tank for a miller legend welder. The way you made that tank is so easy.
Thought I have a look at other videos. I am seriously impressed.
Lovely bit of craft there! Keep it up 👍
What a job well done you amazing ally welding Beth keep them videos coming😎🇬🇧💖it
Everyone is talking about her being a pretty young lady doing this, with the emphasis being on her gender. I admit I have officially reached the age when doctors look like they should still be at school, but I’m more impressed with her youth doing such a good job. Someone has been a great mentor for her, perhaps that’s what we really need...more mentors.
I don't have words to describe how this is awesome. Respect.
My mom used to tell me to find a girl who can cook. I’d rather she be able to weld. Nice work young lady.
Beautiful job! Your dad GUARANTEED is proud of you young lady!
Beth has skills, impressive.
You have some mad welding skills.
Beth you have a talent for welding and its fabulous to see.
Sweet , nice job, clean, that high frequency it's a joy :) thnks for sharing your work and skills , good to see you enjoy welding and have all your PPE !! Safety first and great ethic of work , well organized shop you working on... cheers from one Canadian Welder !!!
BConText The only thing that made me wince was using a file without a handle. Having once stabbed my hand with a sharp file-tang... never again! Les in UK
You're an inspiration to young women, It's a very rewarding career, I've welded much during my working years and you have the steady hand and focus needed!
Love the RUclips algorithm some times. Awesome video! Interesting to see the process, and skillfully welded.
BRILLIANT 😁 wish I had your skills and workshop, must be awesome 😊👍
What a cool shop! You Rock It with those tools! Nothin's Impossible! Keep knockin' out that Quality work you do!
JOHNNY BLADE, VENTURA CALIF.
Im just going to say this is genuinely inspiring to watch. Many thanks.
A very talented young lady , come on lads ,a cake or a fuel tank .
Nice tank :) We found welding the filler on from the inside is way easier ^-^
I found this channel last night and subscribed. I'd like to see a shop tour video, I do similar work in the US, but still needing some tools/skills. What I would like to see is an explanation of what the tools are, and your likes/dislikes about the ones you have.
Not thought of doing a shop tour, thanks for the idea, we may well do one soon, thanks for watching
Finally a positive female role model.
Keep up the great work.
I also wish I had this persons TIG skills!!
Skills to pay the bills there, good vid, keep it up!!
Excellent work! Beautiful welds. This is a skill I would love to learn. Thanks for showing.
I'm impressed! Makes me want an AC tig rig.
Nice steady hands and good rhythm
Great vid Beth keep up the good work, try using a pulsed setting for the welder and maybe four touch to give you more control
Awesome worl Beth. Thanks and keep going.
would love to see the BOM guys take her in for a little bracket production, both parties might learn something + it would just be an awsome video in general:D greetings from across the pond, Norway :D
A great shop and a great team!!
Beth is amazing! Really impressed. I have just bought the same helmet as her! Now I need some shed time to practice my welding.
Hi Beth, I'm so very impressed with your ally Tig welding abilities. Wonderful work there, I have mig and stick here at home but I am no welder. Just found your channel today. Subscribing and having a binge watch.
Great job you certainly are professional, I've never done tig welding but would love to have a go.
Great skills. Nice dimes on the welds. I'm envious of your shop it looks well stocked 👍
Very neat work. First class👌
That was awesome. Fabing from scratch is very cool to watch.
You got the skills to pay the bills 👍
work of art Beth 👍👍👍
I've built race cars for years ( Drag Race) and there's nothing that I would have done to fabricate a fuel or over flow tank that's any different then the way you did it...Good Work!
Where were you when I was courting? Too Late. So sad. Great tank, Pride and workmanship. You will not find this in China !
Going thighmaster on that little tube bender, I'm going to remember that trick!
I love those welding machines. I will recognise those anywhere. Because I used same at work and I live nearby where they are originally made. And visited where they were made.
Beth, nice work, I'd suggest 10-15 more amperage on the edge-to-edge outside corners so their crown of those welds were flatter (like the lap joints of extrusion to side wall welds) and at the ends of the sidewall laps- wouldn't a slower back out of the pedal help reduce the crater shown in the welds? I prefer to use a vixen file on sheared edges so there's less dross to float off in the cover gas. Have you section-sawn a tube to plate weld to see if you're soaking/penetrating the weld too far into the ID? Very a nice job, critiques to help refine your trade; hope you acid etch the resultant tank to avoid mill scale 'flowering'? Suggest you move to the Optrel hood- much preferred!
I like the way brits say aluminum and very nice work also. I wish more girls would get into fabrication
