Seems like alot of work for zero performance or sound difference to just ripping the stock can off.

Do they both come out of the same sweat shop.
In all seriousness, I admire the guy's TIG welding skills.

Skills would be doing it freehand
The bastard is using a lathe to turn it smoothly for him.

great clip - using that lathe to do the spinning.......

from an old-school stick welder since 18, I love the quality of those welds.

Just because one piece of pepperoni wasn't securely placed on the grand duke pizza, it shouldn't eventuate to catastrophic handling & extended delivery times.

Having recently learned to weld (mig) and at best am now extremely average on a good day. I can say i would be a liar if i didn't appreciate that guys skill at welding. btw as to the lathe, if you've got it, use it.

I hope hes using spf 5000000 and reapplying it generously during the day. Im surprised he wasnt using a stubbie as a welding lens.
