  • Hi everyone! Today i am fabricating an aluminium fuel tank for a stock car. It's something we make quite often at work so we though't we'd show you how we do it. Sorry we haven't uploaded much over christmas and new year, we've got an escort rally car video coming soon! Plus many more exciting videos and projects planned for 2020. Thanks for watching and i hope you had a good new year:)

    So refreshing see a young person and female at that learning a craft rather than just wanting to be a "social media influencer". I started as a tool maker and fabricator, miss being able to work in a proper workshop

      Thats right, its nice to see young girl who is making stuff wich require thinking. Social media are cancer, many girls are chasing likes instead do something more productive.

    I loved seeing a young woman in a metal fabrication trade, well done you 👍. I was watching your technique, there are some improvements you can make, like all comments take as much of it as you want. First, your dobbing the filler wire, when you should be feeding it in. Feeding will allow you to better control you weld pool/puddle size and temperature. Also feeding reduces the possibility of tungsten inclusion/contamination. Second, i could see when you're welding you're just holding the torch. Im sure you've noticed the weight of that lead when you trying to get certain positions. Wrap the torch lead around your arm a few times, allowing for a little slack at your wrist, this will allow you to freely move your hand and torch as required and your arm will take the weight of the lead. Third, when your cutting metal and creating dust, especially aluminium, put a damn respirator on! You're a talented young woman, dont go wrecking your lungs. I was a welder for 15 years, i moved on to become a aircraft engineer and still do the odd job. The biggest thing i learned in tig weld was patients, dont be in a rush, set yourself up and youll put out a good weld. Fyi it might be a good idea to purge your tanks with some agron before fully welding; better and more uniformed penetration. If youve ever got some questions just shoot me a message and ill do my best to answer. Keep up the awesome vids

    Nice consistent looking welds - you are very talented one :) One hint for you - if you doing any aluminium (or 316 welding equip yourself with ventilated welding helmet or fume extractor at least. Fumes of aluminium are extremely poisonous. Beside lungs damage you can suffer from neurological issiues (problems with concentration, regres of cognitive functions), major hair loss and lower bone density. Also auminium vapors can cause infertility.

    I watch tons of welding videos and it troubles me how most people do not prep a weld like you so excellently did.. Most people do not gap their welds. you try to point out that they can't achieve complete joint penetration without a proper gap and you get dismissed..
    I took welding in college and the women were better than most men. it's all about dexterity..
