I was informed, correctly, that her name was Diamanté. I follow her from early days and called her Dee…………But in England everyone has a shortened name….im RICHARD, and I. got to live with DICK….but somehow women do get offended by affectionate short-names/ nick names Don’t ask me why., never worked it out meself😄🧐
Nice one Dee, the fact that you understand what’s going on must mean you’re half way there👍🏼 I’m very new to tig and I’m shit😜 Might get you to weld my next tank up 😉
This is such an awesome production. Keep those aces up your sleeve. Tea time!..where my buiscuits at! Lmao...i miss my dog now....safety glasses for the win!
Maaaate I hear you ! I have a bike on the bench ,,,, ( for me youngest) use a headstock from one model, and the stem doesn't fit,,, make new stem,,,, order spokes not available til July Today Im playing with cad ( cardboard aided design) ANYONE who has built a chop from scratch My hat goes off to you its "involved" !
Can be very frustrating, but the end is never far away if you love what your doing, then you start another build and remember the stress from the last one 😂😂😂
Hello from France ( as always) !! whooo , I'm the first to comment this day ... Poor Simon, "She" find the biscuit, and ... the dog catch them !! 🤣 I hope you're not running out of tea, my dear Friend !! I'm still laughing, lol So, I'll be watching the rest of the mechanics teach ✌🤟 John Christopher
Use a big chunk of wood to rest your arm on , be comfortable, with your welding try making a weld pool and then adding wire, then move forward , repeat . Watch out for those big gas lenses sometimes a plain old #8 will be ok , also try a shade 9 or 10 lense so you can see what your doing . Good luck . Cheers
Don't forget she's using my set up not hers. Which makes it even harder for her to cope with. More kudos to her for dealing with my settings, torch cup etc etc
My birthday is on the 24th June I'd happily pay to hear that duo, I buy my flapper discs in 20 packs so I can spare a few, il throw in two tungsten rods too for when deimante kept taking the torch away too early 😅
Hi Dee. Next time you have to tig weld, rest your torch forearm on a tool box or something similar to help keep your hand steady. Also PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT USE BRAKE CLEANER AS A WELDING PREP/CLEANER!!!!!!!!!!!!. Hot fumes from that shit are extremely toxic. Use acetone or paint thinners. Love your work by the way.
Brake cleaner to clean prior welding? Where did you see that? 🤷🤦🏻 Obviously the tank was cleaned of swarf from drilling etc but that was ages before welding.
@@MINTCUSTOM5 Hi Simon. UV light and heat causes chloronated cleaners like brake cleaners to release Phosgene gas which is extremely toxic. There are numerous article on the internet about it. I heard about it myself only a few years ago at my work. Keep up the good work I love the workshop episodes much more than the general bike review type stuff.
Tomboy. Enjoy your videos. From, Georgia, USA. Have a couple of motorcycles, the latest I am fixing up...is a 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 750. I need to weld a Sissy Bar onto it so need to learn welding as well. I need to buy something that I can practice with that will do the job, but I don't know which welder to buy. Don't want something terribly expensive cause I won't be welding that much. Any suggestion? The one you were welding with, what is it and what will it do?
My tig is a Jassic pro 200 ac/dc. Retail over here for that machine is about £1600. My mig is a Kempii pro 200 about the same price. I would suggest a min of 180a mig to start with budget for around £400 for something that would do whatever you'd need. There's plenty of TH-cam videos that can help or go back through this series where I teach D to mig weld you should get some tips from that. Good luck on your build 😊 SIMON.
"Best Pep Talk Ever" .... then send the oil tank off to X-ray testing ... Did Simon ever find out the pup stole his biscuits? Or the crumbs on the seat?
I wish she'd ask me what she could do first... I'd say start with the engine and the rest just happens, I guess. Hope this doesn't get me kicked off. I really hope this doesn't get me kicked off. Heck I absolutely love ya Tomboy-a-bit...
That man talks to you the way he does because he knows you can do it. There isn't a welding job out there that a woman can't do. I've been a welder my whole life and know for a fact that a woman can do it. There is no doubt in my mind that you can do it. Practice, practice, practice. If you can ride a harley,you can weld up the oil tank for it.

@Doors_of_Perception it would be easier for you to turn your volume down? Or mute it? Building choppers is mainly using grinders and cutters unfortunately 😕
The dog sneaking off with the biscuits was hilarious.
both of you hitting the banter at the start, and the dog just quietly wanders off with those biscuits...classic :P:
Experience comes with experience. Slowly at first and by taking your time, look at the results. Well done Dee.
I got told off for calling her Dee…just a warning my friend🤣

Great job on the welding. Well done filling those gaps and any blow holes (created), if any. Good step forward. Cheers
Poked in the eye with safety glasses, I'm sure the irony did not go unconsidered !
Nice welding Tomboy👍
Great banter you pair of geezers 😂
You might have to change it to tomboy_a_bunch!
So much fun and banter on your build dee , love it when your both on a roll .....thanks fir everything you bring to us...lee down west ❤
Nice one Dee, the fact that you understand what’s going on must mean you’re half way there👍🏼 I’m very new to tig and I’m shit😜
Might get you to weld my next tank up 😉
love the Red Dwarf reference ( you have to be of a certain age ) and did i spot a little bit of product placement advertising hahaha
Let us know if Simon will mind if we use his foot clutch idea. I think I would like to try it on my ironhead.
Well done on the tank 🤙The neck brace looks awesome as well, your bike is coming along nicely
This is such an awesome production. Keep those aces up your sleeve. Tea time!..where my buiscuits at! Lmao...i miss my dog now....safety glasses for the win!
That was great Dee ... extra gold medal I think for some serious welding and the singing . Simon ...the dog eat the biscuits,,...just saying .
Not a stack of dimes, but it will hold oil 🤠
and YOU did it. 😊
That's a job well done.
Three stars 😇
A great video again! 👍
The proof will be in the pressure test. You will do just fine

@@tomboyabit its ok its all part of learning, my tutor used to burn me with the filler rod whenever I lifted the torch too soon 😆
@@Turbofab 😳 Don’t give Simon ideas!
@Turbofab I like that idea, luckily I set the post to 4 seconds to help my tungsten 😊
Did Simon notice the dog nicked his biscuits?
Nope.... she's a sneaky little bugger 😂

Shame I wasn't there ...I'm a coded welder!
It's OK..... I was there,I'm a coded welder too 😊👍
Fusion Welding was Simon's forgotten, magical word.... Androdgynous welding sound illegal... :)
😂
Autogenous welding BTW. 😊

Please mute all angle grinder activity. Love the sound of a Harley / chopper, but not the sound of it getting nicked.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@MINTCUSTOM5 I speak from experience 😂🤣 It gives me the heebie-jeebies. Perhaps just turning the sound down will make it for easier watching 😉
