I've read that it works much better if you fold the edges over first at the seams instead of welding the pieces when they are completely flat. This creates a flatter surface at the weld seam and a nicer overall part.

Colin: hey, can I use your pressure washer? Neighbor: yeah, sure. 3 hours later... Neighbor: hey, I've noticed you haven't been using my pressure washer. Colin: oh yeah, I've been taking it apart and making metal pillows with it.
+Frances Hill ok so what gregistopal said was a semi-harmless prank where the worst you'd get is a sore head, what you said is literal abuse... just saying :P
I was being somewhat tongue in cheek with my response, which is why I included a literal tongue poking out emoticon.... I know you weren't being serious.
Could you make a mould out of wood or concrete and form into it? Maybe ali rather than steel Prank idea - steel pillow, cloth cover, leave on a sofa in Ikea...
I think making something like a die with 2 blocks of steel. One will have a negative of what you what to form, and the other side with an open space to have the water pressure to build. Get a sheet of steel, put it in between the 2 blocks of steel and then clamp it all down.
Someone should sort out getting this man one years worth of lottery money, a big shed, a load of equipment and I bet you something special will be born, fckn legend!!!
That's pretty amazing, I started out as a tool and diemaker and many years later was amazed when I first heard of hydroforming! Now there are guys like you building spot welders out of microwave parts etc!!!!!
I need to be studying, but I can only sit here and dream of the day I'll have the resources and time to unleash my creativity like this. What you do is really amazing, and I love your enthusiasm.
A master fabricator like Colin can surely make cones a lot easier by cutting out a 🌈 shape , then tapered rolling it , and there's your dinner . Easy as a cup of tea baby yeah!
love your channel brutha. you are an excellent fabricator. i am an instrument fitter. similar to a plumber. its just an industrial plumber that works with very high pressures and chemicals in refineries and chemical plants and offshore drilling type stuff.
it's not easy to do airtight welds with anything that isn't a tig, but a good tip I figured out is that you can put down your nasty booger welds with your mig, flux core, or stick welder, and then run some JB Weld over the joint to make it nice and airtight. It's a great alternative to spending $1200 on a tig welder or an hour making a little piece of intake tubing airtight
春日歩 Or just learn to weld properly. MIG/MAG is by far the hardest thing to learn to do properly, so people futz around with stick and gas as they provide much easier way of doing a good weld, though it still needs practice.
I use the stick mode almost exclusively on my machine because it's not sensitive to paint, surface rust, or galvanization you often find on reclaimed metals, or the mill scale you find on new metal
Man its been a hot minute since I'd watched this episode, I found it to share with a friend interested in armor, because Im sure you could use this method to make custom plate-maille relatively easy. Heck, Colin, you made the worlds first bullet resistant tie and didn't even comment on the tie-shape itself
Colin: hello sir can I borrow your pressure washer? Neighbour: yes sure but bring it back in one peace. Colin: brings back just one nut and half a bolt
I am sure someone has said this in the comments but I am not going to read through all of them, I know a lazy American !! Either way those shapes could be very useful for gasoline or as you people say petrol tanks in strange or custom applications. At least that was my first thought and I am actually going to make one cause I have a really good use for such a odd shaped tank. Keep up the good work.
your channel is incredible. i never thought id find this sort of stuff interesting but you have so much charisma and have such great content i do. keep the great work up.
Goony juice is more than just wine in box. It's a whole drinking kit. You drink the contents of the bag then use the bag as a pillow and keep the box handy, cause' you WILL vomit.
Yo Colin saw your hydro forming and used the idea to make a rugby ball for a art project turned out a1 even had the little creases on the edges thanks for the idea
Hey C, try the same with copper sheet! Except this time, take the vessel to a good pressure, a little bit at a time, and anneal between processes. I bet you would see some crazy results. Soft like butter to begin, hard to finnish, soft like butter ECT ECT! Go on, you know you want to.... I would.
I dont mean to be that party pooper and rain on your parade which is oh so amazing to watch. could you wear safety goggles when doign something like that tho? i was so worried xD. And they can/do save peoples eyes when stuff does explode.
While on the topic of safety glasses, make sure you are using current "non expired" glasses that are rated for whatever you are doing. If you're using 15 year old glasses, chanced are that the plastic is worn out beyond the point of being helpful. They'll just shatter if anything with moderate force contacts them.
(late reply, meh) this guy doesn't do safety. 70mph on a scooter? no helmet. arc welding? t shirt, no gloves. testing a home made jet engine? indoors should be fine.
TH-cam told me to come here. Based on the highlight clips at the end of this video, it's amazing that you are being fed through a tube by now. 😳 Edit: I just realized this video is 5 years old. If Colin is being fed through a tube now, sorry.
Diesen Typ darf man auf keinen Fall unterschätzen! Für seine gefährlichen Bastlereien braucht man schon ein fundamentales Wissen und Geschick. Die Krawatte allerdings wird ihm wohl irgentwann zum Verhängnis werden! Ansonsten irgentwie sehr cool das Ganze.
yah hoo metal pillow, i get 1 of those and iv'e got everything a man can ask for. keep up the great work. ok, now you have done hydro forming, next step explosive forming.
There is definite potential here for an efficient way to bend natural, rounded shapes into sheet metal. Using an air hammer to bang out a motor cycle gas tank takes awhile and a lot of skill to look smooth. Being able to get the rounded shapes to the 5 yard line quickly would be pretty cool.
Safety chat about the dangers of compressible air and relative safety of incompressible water took me by surprise. Until he said 'or so we hope' 😊 Later followed by the shoulder cringe of safety. Also, make two cones and weld them back to back to make a straight through expansion chamber for your 2 stroke, max power!!!!
Using your garden presure washer in a new way
i've always wondered, what do you do for a living? i mean you must have some kind of engineering background?

Freaking awesome, but wear some glasses please! You only have one pair of eyes.
you can make a bomb out of it!!

definitely not bulletproof though.
@@colossalbreacker oh tomato tamoto who said sheet metal wasnt bulletproof
Im jk

This is a FUN channel...
The only man alive who can make a thought provoking and creative tutorial video... With a rocket powered bicycle in the background!!! Rock on!
Colin: hey, can I use your pressure washer?
Neighbor: yeah, sure.
3 hours later...
Neighbor: hey, I've noticed you haven't been using my pressure washer.
Colin: oh yeah, I've been taking it apart and making metal pillows with it.
Neighbour : * ANGRY NOISES *
Colin: Shove the waterpressure To neighbour mouth and Record it
i love how he formats these videos like a tutorial as if anyone in the world is ever going to build these things
Today my mind was blown by metal water balloons
tomorrow your mind will be broken by metal water balloons :P

put the metal pillow in a case then challenge your friend to a pillow fight
* *c La Ng* * aaAAHH

You will never look at your pressure washer in the same way again.
U crazy gurl ;)
You should try getting into patreon or an online parts shop!
***** Eh. He has a tie.
SAFETY!!!!
especially when steel fucking flings itself into your eyes from all the pressure
You should make one of those metal pillows but the size a normal pillow and put a pillow cover over it and prank somebody
Aidan Taylor I've done it it's funny as he'll when you hear a thunk
Could you make a mould out of wood or concrete and form into it? Maybe ali rather than steel
Prank idea - steel pillow, cloth cover, leave on a sofa in Ikea...
Would not expect to see you around here.
I think making something like a die with 2 blocks of steel. One will have a negative of what you what to form, and the other side with an open space to have the water pressure to build. Get a sheet of steel, put it in between the 2 blocks of steel and then clamp it all down.
yes you can use forms, and different alloys.
don't forget to fill it with concrete or lead so they cant get rid of it.
Chwyn . then how would you get it in there.
Oh Colin my boy. How far you've come. It's been a good five years bud. Thanks
Someone should sort out getting this man one years worth of lottery money, a big shed, a load of equipment and I bet you something special will be born, fckn legend!!!
The legend has already born.
I love watching your older stuff, garage is empty, ideas are fresh, it’s like a time capsule! Also a bit younger, me too!
You took a great sword and turned it into a funnel??
Sword nothing...that was one of the coolest dress ties I've ever seen....was.
If that's a greatsword then I'm the president of the USA...
He doesn't mean a greatsword he means a good sword
how tf was that a great sword

It's not a colinfurze video until the camera mic gets overloaded...lol.
Cool project!
I need to be studying, but I can only sit here and dream of the day I'll have the resources and time to unleash my creativity like this. What you do is really amazing, and I love your enthusiasm.
Did your neighbours ever get their pressure washer back..?
I'm sure they worked it out
+Jaden Bass maybe
I'm guessing he bought it off them, given that he did do some pretty nasty damage to it...
I don't think so
Ha ha
Wow. I'm shocked at how much detail this guy gets done with his creations. I'm totally inspired out the .....
Colin Furze. the man who made a pyro suit, the man who made working Withering claws, the man who made INFLATABLE METAL!
I love watching these old ones and marvel at Colin's empty shop back in the day
The pillow one I liked the most, cut it out in interesting ways and use it as a cool light or even make a nice cool picture frame.
He is the only guy I will watch with the volume all the way down
if batman had 3 legs
He does, we just don't get to see it very often.

Wow such doge Kappa*
Batman does have 3 legs huehuehue

Always innovative, always well executed and always good to watch. Nice job Colin.
he sees an exhaust chamber i see a moon. He see's a funnel i see a sword.
gamer blues So true
same
i saw a new tie ;)
no sword just a tie
Guess that's why were watching his youtube channel and not the other way around.
What Collin does is totally crazy, irresponsible and mad.....I LOVE IT!
Man you crack me up. I nearly busted my gut laughing. Thumbs up man!!!
nut^
+Riddim Dubstep omfg.
Memory lane..
This was the first ever Colin Furze video I had ever watched..
Look at how empty the shed is!!!
Nice results. This is *great for sculptures !*
A master fabricator like Colin can surely make cones a lot easier by cutting out a 🌈 shape , then tapered rolling it , and there's your dinner . Easy as a cup of tea baby yeah!
This video is amazing, explained everything really well, and really entertaining 👍

If you weld a submarine, i don't wanna dive with it xD
i use a tig on the future ones but most people only own migs so wanted to show it with that and my mig welding is not so good
colinfurze I thought that most people have electrode welder and that is a challange
I prefer mig, I found it very easy...
it's not easy to do airtight welds with anything that isn't a tig, but a good tip I figured out is that you can put down your nasty booger welds with your mig, flux core, or stick welder, and then run some JB Weld over the joint to make it nice and airtight.

vrrroooooommm
neighbor: "colllllliiiiiiin!! were you at it again?!!"
Hydro forming a bed and pillows and sleeping the night would be a good video Colin
I want to see a video of the mobility scooter with the new exhaust
Just watch the old video with the volume higher.
Been searching for a while for amateur-friendly high pressure pumps -> thx for the pressure washer tip
1:35 correct direction of tool. Thank you.
I always wondered what does a "hydroformed" bicycle frame mean exactly. Now I have an idea. Thank you Colin!
Colin: hello sir can I borrow your pressure washer? Neighbour: yes sure but bring it back in one peace. Colin: brings back just one nut and half a bolt
You've gotta hand it to him, This Guy is a Mental Genius, . . . Different Class!!!
I died when the cone got inserted in the back of the mobility scooter!!!
Hahahah...
why is that funny ?
I am sure someone has said this in the comments but I am not going to read through all of them, I know a lazy American !!

Crazy idea here... Have you thought about digging a tunnel with an access hatch in this shed? I think that would be really cool if you tried that
Hahahaha I lost it at the tie being taped down for safety
This is a fascinating use of a pressure washer and welder, I'll make sure to try this at some point
when Colin explained his things instead of metal music
I am amazed that you still have all your appendages, digits and eye-sight... lol
Wow compare to now in 2019 the shed is really clean 😂😂👍
TH-cam just recommended me this again, can't believe how young colin looks! :O

+A&A Productions I genuinely thought the thumbnail for this video was a goon sack.
YES! HAHA
was waiting for comment to say this!

The 2-stroke exhaust you described is the expansion chamber commonly found on 2-stroke motorcycles e.g. KTM's and KX's
these could been custom gas tanks

Or as my other favorite crazy brit 'photon' would say "I popped it!"
Dude , you are insane !!!!
Keep it up ! Love every bit of it !!!!!!
Lmao loved the exhaust
finally, a little sanity on youtube. love it.
I dont mean to be that party pooper and rain on your parade which is oh so amazing to watch. could you wear safety goggles when doign something like that tho? i was so worried xD. And they can/do save peoples eyes when stuff does explode.
i had googles on when grinding etc but no need while forming as it only sprays water out
alrighty then. i wasnt sure what was actually gonna happen with the forming. Still awesome video Cant wait for what you're gonna do next!
TheDennyBros "Can't wait for what you're gonna do next" - Watch this space my friend, it's gonna be EPIC :)
