Made me flinch when saw the TransFluid mandrel bender. I used to run a pair of those along with a larger model for 4" with a boosted pressure die for 8years at a shop. Onry machines but when they are happy they bend really well.
Genuinely couldn't tell wherever you was based in UK or elsewhere, untill i saw the reg on the trailer. Absolutely stunning work, beautiful equipment and amazing craftsmanship. Would absolutely love to meet you and learn from you good sir, all the best!
Beautiful work. It is nice to see someone TIG weld, that doesn't seem overly amazed of themselves. Just doing amazing work and letting it speak for itself. And not a bit of filler rod. You rock
My son is a TIG welder stick welder in all directions plus a very good mechanic like his old man. I have always said welding is an art he used to make headers for any car or truck Even a bike. He fever good at what he does and gets paid very well. I had a friend awhile back he use to work underwater welding navy ships. You are very good welder
I'm speechless of the non gap fitment of the joints and perfect 270 degrees of turns with just bare measurement by eye unless you did mark the 45 degree cuts. This is not a workshop, it's an artist's studio. I always wondered how they would make headers like this in a production setting.
what a beautifull job , i made my first diy with pie cuts and a mig welder , i dont have many tools , took a long time but when i finished it i was very happy , takes a lot of work but worth it. Greetings from argentina , keep up that craftmanship
👍👍... Sweet job. I have made many, mild and SS headers in my day. For FJ, FA, F1... My favorite job was for Phil Reilly, (RIP) For his Brabham BT44. 18g mild steel, still in service 20 yrs later. My hands and eyesight won't let me TIG weld as I once could. Thx TY.
Thanks for commenting, I think that BT44 was the ex Carlos Pace car from 74? I know what you mean about the hands and eyesight, I'm feeling it now myself 👍👍
In a sports car the “collector” that combines all the equal lengths of the exhaust in a clockwise firing order into a single exhaust is what gives that beautiful exhaust note and also helps with scavenging and increases horse power when the engine is race tuned.
@ Glad to be of help. He made that look easy making that exhaust but trust me it’s not. The angles and shrinkage and movement during welding can be tricky to deal with but he’s obviously a master at his craft.
Genau deswegen hatte ich gefragt. Zur Info: Vor Jahren habe ich selber versucht, einen kleinen Rennwagen zu bauen... aus VW- Teilen. Getriebe und Achsen VW Käfer, Motorblock Passat LS 1,3L 55Ps mit Zylinderkopf 1,6L VW GTI mit einem Auspuff- Krümmer einer Honda CB 750 Four ... mit nicht gleich langen Rohren. Die Leistung mit dem Auspuff war leider nicht so gut. Ein Freund in der gleichen Klasse bis 1300ccm hat sich einen Auspuff gebaut mit zu langen einzelnen Rohren... der Renner hatte deutlich mehr Leistung bei wenig Umdrehnungen als mein Wagen mit meinem Auspuff. Ich habe den Auspuff mit den längeren Rohren auch einmal an meinem Wagen gefahren, daher kann ich das vergleichen. Aus dem Grunde würde mich das Spül- Volumen der einzelnen Rohre und der Hubraum des Motors interessieren... wobei das hier wohl niemand verraten wird ;-) - - - - - - - - That's exactly why I asked. FYI: I did it myself years ago tried a small racing car to build... from VW parts. Transmission and axles VW Beetle, Engine block Passat LS 1.3L 55 HP with cylinder head 1.6L VW GTI with an exhaust manifold Honda CB 750 Four... with pipes that are not the same length. The performance with the exhaust was unfortunately not so good. A friend in the same class up to 1300ccm has built an exhaust with to long individual pipes... the racer had significantly more Performance at low revolutions as my car with my exhaust. I have the exhaust with the longer ones Pipes also once appeared on my car driven, so I can compare. That's why the dishwashing machine would Volume of the individual pipes and the Engine displacement is of interest...

@@wW______ I wish you every success in your endeavours. You have to remember your engine has to be race tuned or have enough exhaust manifold pressure for the given inside diameter of pipe. You looking for resonance this requires pressure and tuning the same a brass instrument player tunes his lips to use the instrument and uses various pressures and valves to achieve resonance notes. Perhaps experiment with different diameters pipe.
Beautiful fit up on everything. Awesome to see you use autogenous process TIG welding.... not very commonly used on exhaust systems. Turned out amazing.
Great work, your a hard worker ,also the tools you use for the tubes to make ,i love that , go on with these jobs to put on you tube😊,thanks from Dirk Jansen , Holland
So enjoyable to watch! My first time here. About to look at all your fabrication and looking forward to what comes next!Beautiful work. You make it look easy! I know it isn't. Cheers!
Thank you for the video. Having worked most of my life with hands, graduade from watchmaking school, I truly appreciate the quality and the level of skill. Seeing how there is no second guessing when you saw or bend parts just tells how many hours you have spent to get there. Having no 3D capability to model anything with out programs, it is joy to follow how easy it looks when you lay the piping with bends and they line up right away. That filming through the weld lense was nice, never seen how it looks. Few questions that came up. - I guess that you calcutale the primaries lenghts to suit the engine rev range. - How many hours does similar project it take from start to end if you don't film it? Cheers and hellos from Finland.
Thank you for the comment 🙏 Without filming this job would be around 35 hrs, and there is plenty of second guessing before I get it to where I'm happy with it 😃👍🤟
You and me both! but these cars are extremely valuable and they very rarely come to me in running condition, and besides, I wouldn't know how to start them anyway 😄 thanks for the comment 👍
More beautiful work! Two questions for you: 1) Is there anything special about your alignment stubs that keeps them from sliding all the way into one tube instead of part way into each tube? 2) Do you always autogenous weld projects like this, or do you use filler for some? If so, what determines that?
Thank you, nothing special about them, just a nice snug fit. I do sometimes use filler wire, on flanges and v-bands, etc, wherever there is a fillet weld. 👍
très joli travail ! bravo à vous !
tolle Arbeit.
You left the best part out....
The exhaust note!!
A totally beautiful build.
Glad you liked it!

A pro makes "interesting" jobs look easy (with some time lapse included). Thanks for posting this.
Beautiful work.
Nice to see the trades are still alive and well, true craftsmanship. Well done. Beautiful
Thank you 💪👍
Beautiful work. It is nice to see someone TIG weld, that doesn't seem overly amazed of themselves. Just doing amazing work and letting it speak for itself. And not a bit of filler rod. You rock
Proper tight fit on thin wall tubing and back gassing will let you use a fusion weld on SS. We are not building oil pipelines.
What are u talking about amazed by themselves, good welders should take pride idiot

Wow really nice technique. No rod and perfect pulse. Beautiful result.

Subbed. Great exhaust work….you should post more lol
This is Talent at the highest level. If I could spend a day watching your work, it would be like Christmas day to me.
🧑🎄🎄😊
Beautiful workshop mate. Actually beautiful everything. Some 'definitely not' home workshop tools in there.
Expertise is making the complex look easy. And you've got me believing that I could head out to the garage and fabricate an exhaust. ;-)
That my friend is a work of art, some might think it’s just a pile of tubes but as an engineer I can appreciate the effort and the skill involved.
Thanks Neil 👍
Fantastic work! Also love your workshop, what a beautiful place to be productive in.
Thank you very much! 🤟
This man ist an artist 19:15 👍
Beautiful work of art, your craftman skills on these exhaust is top notch! Very professional and methodic. Cheers from Italy👍👍
Glad you like it! 👍
Nice job loved the welding under the green glass
Thanks Tom, it's really quite tricky trying to film the welding, seems to have come out ok....
Beautiful fit up on everything. Awesome to see you use autogenous process TIG welding.... not very commonly used on exhaust systems. Turned out amazing.
Great work, your a hard worker ,also the tools you use for the tubes to make ,i love that , go on with these jobs to put on you tube😊,thanks from Dirk Jansen , Holland
Hartelijk dank Dirk 🤟👍
I'm sure we all did enjoy the video! and sensational work again Lance 💥
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Wonderful stuff Lance, fantastic fabrication and welding, subbed, thanks for sharing
Much appreciated! 👍Thank you.
Impressive to say the least. Thanks for the opportunity to watch your work.
Glad you liked it 👍
Just perfect! 👍🍺
So enjoyable to watch! My first time here. About to look at all your fabrication and looking forward to what comes next!Beautiful work. You make it look easy! I know it isn't. Cheers!
Thank you David 🙏👍
YOU really have a knack for making an exhaust Lance. I tip my hat Sir.
Well thank you very much 👍
good work
Looks like you've done that a few times! Beautiful work!
A good fabricator just is art on another level.
Thank you 😊
@@LANCETHEGASS Why aren't you using filler wire when welding ? For example @19:08
There's really no need on a joint like that, if there were any gaps in the joint then filler wire may be needed. 👍
Your craftsmanship is top notch looks very good 👍🏻 🏁
This was a real pleasure to watch...
Top job as always Lance. Very therapeutic to watch
Thanks John, hope you didn't fall asleep 😂👍
He'll, it looks fast just sitting there !
not a single filler rod - spectacular
beautiful work
Thanks for sharing, you have some nice machines 👌
Love the very old school British way of demonstrating craftsmanship. 👏
You mean without making a big song and dance about everything? Agreed.
Superb workmanship Lance. More of the same please 👍👍
Thanks Graeme, will do 👍
I love the smaller tube to line things up. thank you
What a beautiful job that this man has done.
That is absolutely art ! Thanks for sharing !
Thanks 🙏 glad you liked it 👍
Excellent work.
Thank you! Cheers! 👍
Que gran trabajo 👌👌 eres todo un artista 🙌 fantásticas las soldaduras
Thank you 🙏👍
Très beau travail 👌 magnifique du travail d'exception 👍
Didn’t you make that look 👀 easy ‼️
Awesome 👏
TIG welding in vo tec was my favorite. I could do dimes about half way then get so excited with the results that I screwed up the rest of the weld.
😂
I really like this exposition of fitting to the head.
What a beautiful work
Thank you! Cheers!
That is a really good idea for earthing the job!!!
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Very nice job!
Thanks for sharing!
Effin beautiful!

Top work again mate. Id be interested in Tig pulse setup 😃
Thanks for the comment, I think the settings are shown in my Flange video 👍
Fantastic as always! 👌👍
Thanks Gordon 🤟👍
Outstanding work, Lance,, Thanks Godbless
Thanks again!👍
So Impressive!
Amazing work!
Thank you! Cheers!👍
simply ART
That is a nice car 👌🏻🏁
Art in the making....................
i really enjoyed it thank you
You are very welcome 👍
Grande artigiano. 💪👍
obra de arte !
Nice job!
Ganz hohe Kunst , Respekt !!!
AWESOME !
Very very impressive!
Thank you! Cheers!
Simply fabulous.
Wow.....👌👍🥇
Great job!
Clase Maestra!!!!
Really nice job, would like to have heard it running.
You and me both! but these cars are extremely valuable and they very rarely come to me in running condition, and besides, I wouldn't know how to start them anyway 😄 thanks for the comment 👍
Great video 🇨🇦
Thank you 🤟
Magnificent bravo
Top Job, großen Respekt. 👍👍👍
👍👍👍Grandios! 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Perfekt! 👍👍👍
Thank you👍👍
Beautiful!
Nice job congratulations
Thank you! Cheers! 👍
bloody awesome
Aye up Lance, arc shots now !
Now then Phil, well I tried, I think I've got a bit more to learn yet 😄👍
I need a lie down , respect sir
😄🙏
Very nice. I sure would have liked to hear what it sounded like!
Me too 👍
Wow, what a flawless work of art! Looks like perhaps 1Hz and 20 or 25% duty. What are you high and low current settings?
Thank you 👍 My machine setup is shown on my 2-1 collector video.
Good job Guy ;oP
Not bad for a first attempt
Sweet 👌
Lance another masterpiece
Thanks Buddy 🤟
Super 🎉
