Default Whoa. That's incredible!

This guy is just a Wizard with metalwork.

I've seen some good panel beaters, but this guy is something else entirely.

Wish I had 10% of his talent.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Terry!

If I remember one thing, I want it to be "my top tip for any edge welding like this whether using a copper block or not, start at the edge and weld in, if you work out towards the edge, the heat builds up and the edges can easily be burnt away."

So simple, but I have always been doing it wrong, the other way around..........and suffered accordingly too.

I picked up that one too, not that I know much about welding. After getting through the viruoso performances, scroll down to metal stretching and metal shrinking. He makes radius flanges with a chisel point hammer and bends the sheet metal into 90deg curves. WOW!
