Thank you for helping the kids 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@AlexLindner]

Of course, it's a much better option than that much hair going into the trash.

[@MrJermbob]

Donating your hair is amazing man. I love it. Thanks for this video. I had it saved to watch. Here i am :)

[@AlexLindner]

It's a better end state for it than the hair going into the trash. My pleasure, thank you for your continued viewership and support.

[@lexeg1]

Thank you for answering the questions. Maybe a little side question. I understand the answers of having different projects so different style of builds but how do you do that with your manifolds. Then. They are usually the same. Cause you made a formula that works. So how do you keep doing those

[@AlexLindner]

I've fallen in love with the process of building manifolds. Building less of them now makes me love the process more if that makes sense. The endless pursuit of unattainable perfection is addicting, and I have no problem doing the same thing repeatedly if I can see improvement each time.

Can't wait to see the MKII running. With regards to welding, how much of a concern do you have with welding stainless? Hexavalent chromium can be pretty nasty. Do you have a fume extractor in your welding room?

[@AlexLindner]

There are big MKII updates coming, stay tuned.
I have a vent fan in the welding room but no fume extractor at the moment. It's on the short list of equipment to buy.

[@5t341tH]

Do you brush your aluminum before welding? I used to and I stopped and I don’t see a difference

[@AlexLindner]

It depends on the project/what I'm welding. New aluminum I generally do not, but I've found it doesn't hurt on old aluminum. I use my discretion.
