I'm a habitual lurker, but thought I'd drop in to say that I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. In every single video I learn something, and I laugh (or at least roll my eyes). Keep up the great work!
As a licenced stick/tig/mig welder for over 20 years. And fast paced production welder for the last 10 years, come sunday i grab a stick welder an meditate. Slow, soft, comfortable. It's like smoking a pipe, it takes its time and that's it. Mig makes it fast. But tig makes it beautiful.
I love how you include those shop life hacks like the Tungsten electrode scratch technic followed by the internal pressure increase to create the perfect material separation. Only pros know those tricks and you make that accessible to the layman.
Unpaid repair work is just how I vent my stubbornness. No matter the peril, through hell and tiny parts, I ride into battle and proudly bellow, "Whaddya mean it's under warranty?"
I watched this vidjyo wearing headphones, my son sitting next to me gaming. When ya aired up the square tubes i was laughing so hard, apparently too loud he looked at me like your old and not supposed to laugh that hard. He gradually looked at my screen then said show me latter. So thanks for that. Whatever it takes to teach them right. Thanks for that.
You are speaking to my soul with regard to the desire to be able to fix everything and the psychosis that drives accumulating tools. Keep up the awesome work, sir.
Words I live by.
