Great video with some good tips - and great to see what 'real world' welding looks like when access isn't perfect. One thing you didn't cover which should probably be obvious but might not be is; how exactly do you bend the tungsten? (I know it should be as simple as - get it glowing red with a torch and bend it.. in theory!) Also as others have said, that argon tank is 'uge! You must need a forklift to move that thing around :)

Nice job! Wouldn't want your argon bill! I noticed you said the material was schedule, and indeed it looks heavy stuff. I'm curious as to why you'd use that instead of tube (1.6mm which I think is 16swg). Thanks.

Quick question for you......at 16:06, it seemed as if the two pipes were touching toward the left side of the screen. If they were touching, would that be a vibration point, and possible wear spot? I'm not knocking you at all, it was just something I noticed. Maybe someone else said it too, but I know Blue Demon makes bendable tungsten as well. Amazing video, and I love how you explain everything for us beginners. Awesome work!!!!!

Both banks rest on each other, it’s called fitment. They will not vibrate and damage each other. These runners are big so every little amount can assist with making sure there are no ground clearance issues.

No the goal in using pulse is to get more pen while using less sustained heat input. Pulse can be used for a wide range of reasons. Generally it’s used to keep the haz or heat effected zone to a minimum
