Just had your channel show up randomly in my home page and watched the whole video start to finish! Wicked skill and awesome to see a channel starting so early. Oh and I can take it!
Just came across this by accident. You're the bike jumper/fabricator I had followed on IG at one time. I used to design bomber seats 7 or 8 years ago but did not fabricate. Just getting into welding now. You set the bar high, Josh.
I just love the process engineering that you have developed for your product. It reduces the time to produce the seat while still keeping the custom nature of the product. Well done.
Proper English engineering and fabrication skills on show here! Love it. Not sure what I’d do with it, apart from sit in it and pretend I own a race car - but I CAN TAKE IT off your hands! 😅
Dude! i have been eyeing your flat top bomber seats on Ebay for over 2 years. Absolutely love them and hope to be buying them for my 67 Camaro project some day. Love the shop set up. Super excited for your channel and wish you the absolute best.
Great video, Josh. Really impressive skills and an equally impressive garage setup. You’ve definitely maximised what can be done in a small space. I CAN TAKE IT
I CAN TAKE IT Awesome seat. Been keen to make some seats for many years but just dont know where to start. Great to see your design and assembly. Keen to see how the sliders work hopefully in a future video. Stuff on tig welding will be great too. Can you also show some stuff on your english wheel Making of wheel and use) and your bead rolling (dies and use) Great job Regards, Paul South Africa
well done again josh on your new channel, be sure to follow you an also my boys bin watching as they now started doing bits of mig welding with me, an that wouldnt ve possible if wernt for you an George. keep up the hard work mate. I CAN TAKE IT
You've built an amazing bomber seat factory there. Would love to hear the back story on when you invested in tooling to up the production and how much longer the seats took before you had the tooling. Your presses are brilliant designs...they take a bit of trial and error? The bead roller looks like the design 101 others on youtube have beefed up to stop the flex. That bit of plate and clamps sorts that issue for you doing edges?
Thank you very much! Ok, I’ll keep that in mind. A backstory episode would be a good shout 👍 Some of them do, but the majority are so simple it’s just ensuring the tolerances are correct between the male and female. Yeah, pretty much! You do still get some flex, but it needs to be removable so you still have access to the entire throat of the tool for wider jobs. I’m sure there’s a better solution, but this have proven to do the job so far 🙂
Awesome work Josh! great to see how you make these and some serious engineering skills right there 👏. I CAN TAKE IT I’ll put in the middle of my current 2 😂 Keep the videos coming 👊🏻
Some fine work you’re doing there 👌 May I enquire how you’re striking up your arc? Are you using a pedal to initiate instead of the trigger on the torch? Looking forward to the next episode and many more! I CAN TAKE IT 😊
Thank you! Yes, the machine here has a high frequency start option, so no contact has to be made for the arc to start. Simply bring the tungsten down to a couple of mm’s from the material and hit the pedal (I rarely use the trigger, but I’ll cover that soon 👍). You may well see more on this in next week’s video, we’ll see what people choose! You’re in ✅
Awesome seat and fabrication but i dont think the riv nuts are a strong enough anchor to the car, unless those are a different type with more meat when they get clamped but i have seen many a riv nut pull through from relatively small flexing
Thanks Scott 👍 Appreciate the concern regarding the rivnuts. I’ve been using this design for quite a few years now and made a couple of thousand of these with that fixing method. No issues have arisen as yet, but I can see why you’d think it may be a failure point. My pressing design does help shift any pulling strain away from the nut itself (basically transfers that energy through to the seat base, which would have to be rather significant to cause a failure!) 🙂
Would love to know exact settings you use for tig welding,(amps, balance, wire thickness, hertz etc etc etc)I am learning aluminium (1.6mm) sheets welding for my project car. Fantastic job on the seat. Regards John

Thanks for that. I’m also in the UK, motorsport welder/fabricator and use a lot of 5251 but seems to distort and curl up a lot when bead rolling it. Thought yours might be something softer like 3003 or 1060. I have an Instagram account for my work rising.frequency
@@Tig_Weldor Awesome! Nice to see other fabricators stuff, I’ll have a look-see 👍. Ah, ok. This does still buckle and twist, but the dies are relatively large radia (3mm inside for the false wire roll), so can be shrunk with a bit of hammer work relatively easily 🙂

How many attempts did it take you to make your first seat?

What grade aluminium do you use? Seems to swage and bead roll nicely
Nothing particularly special. 5251 for the pretty much everything (very standard grade here in the UK) 😊👍
Thanks for that. I’m also in the UK, motorsport welder/fabricator and use a lot of 5251 but seems to distort and curl up a lot when bead rolling it. Thought yours might be something softer like 3003 or 1060. I have an Instagram account for my work rising.frequency
@@Tig_Weldor Awesome! Nice to see other fabricators stuff, I’ll have a look-see 👍.
Ah, ok. This does still buckle and twist, but the dies are relatively large radia (3mm inside for the false wire roll), so can be shrunk with a bit of hammer work relatively easily 🙂
Nice to see another fabricator confirm that bead roll AINT EASY.
