Wonderful skills and depth of knowledge on display. could you please give the soecifications of the steej you are using. e.g. size, diameter, wall thickness, steel properties and welding tech iformation. Fascinating to watch. Bravo!
When you are welding the 4 tubes together. Do your welds meet in the middle/top where they all come together? Seems like it would be tough to get your tungsten down in there (huge stick out). Also do you have to do any fusion welds on the inside or do your outside welds penetrate well?
If you watch me fusing the inside, I only weld enough to overlap the later weld on the outside, and yes the outer weld penetrates through so there is no need to fully weld them into the middle, hope all that makes sense 😃
Thanks for the comment, if you look closely at the jig, it is fixed at 45 degrees, and so I just lay the bend flat on the base of the jig for the first cut. I have many different jig's for different type's of collector but I thought this one would be the simplest way of showing it in a video. 🤘👍
Nice work. Your exhaust fabrication skills are top notch (way better than mine) However, a couple of hrs at $100 per hr.... or just buy them from Burns or similar.
wish I had your welding skills!!!, but a tiny bit unsatisfying because I'm having a hard time visualizing how the tubes come together on the inside (just how it is that all the tubes edges meet so it can be air-tight), and how they are welded, but you never showed that, you showed welding on the inside that was completely obscured from view and never any before and after shots of the inside.
@@LANCETHEGASS thanks for the reply, I'm a machinist not a welder, do very much appreciate you and those that have your talent, I've also tried to make a video and did much worse than you, so this is actually a good video by my standards 🙂 !!! I still find it amazing that you were able to weld inside the collector !!!
Great video. Like how you made your own mandrel bends in the beginning. The fitment on your cuts was mint!
This guy made this look shockingly easy: seemingly broad measurements, etc. But the outcome is astounding. And I learned a lot. So thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for commenting 👍
You sure know what you’re doing, nice work, a beautiful piece which no female would appreciate.
Unless you're tried stainless steel pipe fabricating you won't know how skilled this guy is !!!😉
I wish I would know how talented he is, i only weld regular steel so i would have no idea how good he is at fabricating
I only ever tried stainless tube welding
Exactly how skilled is this guy?
Fascinating, and well shot video. Thank you.
Thanks, glad you liked it 👍
Awsome work Lance, mindblowing fab skills and work , Thanks Godbless
Thanks Man 🤟
That's just magic.. awesome work. I miss Tig welding soooo much
Thanks for the comment, go grab the torch....and get cracking...😄😃
@@LANCETHEGASS all mig work where I am now. Maybe a good excuse to look elsewhere 😉
great job
Love your shop. Amazing work
Thanks Buddy 🤟
Beautiful work
fantastic craftsmanship!
Very nice kraftmanship sir!! Cheers from Italy!
Grazie Amico 😊
Beautiful job!
good work 👍👍
Nice work .
That tooling (the expander) is the reason I buy those from people like you.
Beau travail bravo
Beautiful work again. I wish you would talk in your videos and explain the angles of your cuts on the collector.
Maybe...one day....😉👍
Awesome job!
Thanks! 🙏

I hope you make more of this? in real tempo

Please use safety glasses at 5:20 minutes.
Otherwise we will not be able to enjoy your craftsmanship anymore👌🏼👌🏼
Bloody lovely!
Excellent work. I have seen collectors on $500 headers not look anywhere near as nice..
You won't find workmanship of this level on any $500 headers. $500 is China headers.
Great work, what angle do you bend the first pipes to?
Thank you, the bend's are 20 degrees on this collector, but could vary dependant on application.
Great work. I am guessing this is not your first attempt at making one of these.
How are you positioning the tube for the first angle cut, such as at 2:00? Inspiring work sir! :)

Hello,
what diameter were your 4 tubes initially? you enlarged them to fit the tube of what diameter after
Thank you for France
Hello, all tubes were 2" OD, and were then expanded to 2" ID 👍
Bravo!
👍
Art metal!
Nice. Thanks.
The very definition of the oft-used phrase "this separates the men from the boys"...
Now thats tungsten stigout

8:49 what kind of buffing wheel is that?
Scotchbrite......4 ply 👍

£100/hr? can I come and work for you?

Bro, that's not Fair! You have and industrial tube Bender, i have got a set of pliers from temu and a piece of tube 😢

Slick!

what is your machine for expanding tubes ?

Thank you, to be honest it can be quite tricky welding inside these collectors, especially the smaller ones, so would be difficult to film. 👍

Ok Boss 👍🥸
As an x welder an fabbie nice shop but o do uestion the lenght of your tungsten
Thanks for the comment, what questions do you have?
Yea, like everyone has a £100K of machinery laying around....
Or maybe it's just for entertainment and interest. Maybe say thank you?
