[@franssimonjansen]

Can i use that stuff to get paint off of my brick house? When the previous owner painted the windows, they frequently touched the walls, so now there is paint on the outside walls which i want ro remove but i don't know what to use to get the paint off the bricks.

I'm more impressed by his accuracy of the grinder and the fact he could bend a perfectly sized circle

[@starless9]

That was satisfying.

And even cutting a very even circle out of wood is really hard to do! And it all fit perfectly!

This was edited i hope yall realize it took many test fits and trial and error and sanding and grinding to get that

Getting the circumference right is the 1st step. Perhaps in real life, a few "adjustments" (with a hammer) were needed?

You need more than a cup of water to eliminate the risk of explosion from remaining fumes. You need to completely fill the tank with water until there is no room to force everything out

If you pay close attention, you can see the water come up over the lip of the tank. He did completely fill the tank, though I would have appreciated if he clarified it a little more apparently

Metal worker here, hes actually less competant than most 14 yr old apprentices on they're first day of work lol.. he even managed to tack weld the whole thing instead of welding it properly just like he copied this build of an indian youtube channel 🙄 which is exactly what he did lol.. if you think this is amazing the quality of your work must be absolutely appalling haha

Just a guess...looks like the aircraft stripper I used in the past. Great stuff.

[@johnspirit1127]

As an engineer and metal fabrication expert myself l love it when l learn something new from these videos , l would have bent the flatbar a little bit then tacked it on the tank and just pushed it around clamping and tacking as l went , saves a bit of time , but the best bit was learning how all the old bike chain l have can now be used as hinges , Jesus why did l not think of that 12 months ago or before .

I'm not a fabricator, and even I wondered why he didn't bend the flat bar the way he explained 😁 Way too much trial and error the way he did it.
