    I'm now retired but formerly worked as a welder. I was impressed by the PPE featured early in the video, shorts and t shirt I think. Love to see the RAMS for that. Only joking - I probably broke more rules than most in the 70s and 80s, better times I think. Still here.

    As a former professional weldor I was a wee appalled seeing arc welding preformed with no protective gauntlets and trousers to at least a protective apron. This is a recipe for skin cancer people. Of course Stick is not nearly as UV intensive a TIG, but both are not healthy. Yes, that is a correct spelling for a person who welds. Weldor or Welder.

    @.33 secs in, that's an interesting view of the frame of the tank. it looses is solidity as this tough tank, its just thick pieces of metal bolted to a frame. I remember from many years ago, the T34 was famous for its sloping armour. a 40mm thick section of steel on the slope becomes 80mm thick, effectively. Great work as usual Joe and the gang.

  • @super6954
    @super6954 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the video. Those turret bolts being loose is probably a bit of a pressure relief valve. Having worked on Belarus tractors since about 1994 that would be their logic. if the tank got hit the blast pressure bled off just lifting the turret instead of blowing it clean over a hedge. Thus aiding for a quick repair just welding a plate over the entry hole pressure wash it out and send it back to work. That wiring looks exactly like the same junk they had on tractors up until the late 90's , and I'm pretty sure I've seen those lights on some tractors in the past to L.O.L Take care.
