    I love the flatland riding. I found when doing stuff like the crank tube it helps to use a heat sink of some kind, I use a few strips of copper stacked together to keep the tube from warping from heat. or i make an aluminium one on the lathe depending on pipe size, .065 wall SS warps pretty easy

    Finish the mini bike and give it to the guy on the corner who has the pet monkey! The monkey would love the mini bike and could earn more money doing bike tricks! LOL! I imagine if you were building a full size bike you'd use back purging or solar flux. Great little project to practice welding skills.

    Ha! Right on. I had you playing in the background glancing back n forth and only realized exactly how tiny that lily baby is when you holding her near the end, cracked me up bro. I gotta say, now that you tease us with the frame, I'm sure many of us would like to see it finished at some point when you can fit it in the schedule - if you can source hardware to fit lol👍

    Great video and very cool to see you are into BMX. Hey I noted you did not back purge the inside of the chromoly tube. Is this something that you might employ if you purchase a bike kit, or possibly not required or depends on the depth of weld root. Thanks and appreciate your content... please keep it coming.

    I may have missed it but i didn't hear anything about back purging you need to be back purging you're shielding the weld side great but the back side is unshielded. That is why when the camera shows the inside it looks burnt. I'm sure you know this but the newbies don't.

    You could make a living doing custom bicycle frames. Welding is the hardest part. The rest is relatively simple design and machining. You can make a jig there's all kinds of stuff available online. I think you'd be a great frame builder

I also live on Vancouver Island and I've been welding for 27 years, I did a lot of Aluminum TIG on the BC Ferries, Fast Cat Ferries back in the day! LOL. Anyways I have an Everlast 325EXT and I prefer using hand Amptrols because I seem to always be TIG welding out of position, I'm not fond of the Everlast hand Amptrol, have you ever run a different controller on your Everlast machine? I've been thinking of buying a CK and rewiring it
