    Nice touch with the fluxcore, with its excellent penetration. Better weather conditions offer good ventilation reducing breathing difficuties.

    Hi Dave, great watching you....and its not "rubbish in your garage", rather its an informative insight into how your skill and thorough knowledge are an inspiration to your followers. Keep up the great work, we all appreciate your dedication to detail compared to some guys who flash over the important details required to turn out a top class result.

    Good job as always Dave. And you deserve much more than 9000 subscribers in my humble opinion. Your style of repair and renew is the sort of content that most enthusiasts can learn from and have a go at themselves👍

    It's a lot easier to get the welding neat if you use gas. I can see the attraction of flux cored though.

    Another good job Dave. Good to see you're a Floyd fan! I had a chance to see them on the Pulse gig at Earls' Court, and I said to my wife that I wasn't really bothered because I figured they'd be washed up at that stage of their career, so my mate at the time found someone else to go with him. Obviously, massive mistake, I missed what was quite possibly their best ever performance!
