    Your simplicity and processes are the pinnacle of underthinking in order to over produce.
    Every last thing you do seems to be so simple; but such a “lightbulb” moment at the same time.
    You’re 4 into 1 collector video is some of the most genius craftsmanship I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. Your weld skill is undeniable…
    But for me, it’s your problem solving and thought process that makes your work a cut above the rest.

    If you wonder why he left the fins holes open like that, it is to work as whistles. You know, for when they drop the bomb from the helicopter, so that it will make the whistle sound like bombs suppose to make.
    I think. lol

    • @stevowhitty3984
      @stevowhitty3984 3 роки тому

      Wax or soap will help not clog the flap disc. But I would only use it after welding. If not you will have to clean the weld joint pretty good to get rid of any wax before welding.
