Looks like he was bronze or silver brazing small parts that would have been susceptible to burnthrough, or were different alloys (ie joining cast or forged steel to chromium molybdenum alloy) which would be more susceptible to fatigue cracking at the weld... brazing gets around those issues.
TIG makes nice welds like that, take a tig welding class at your local trade school.
Nice vid guys! good music choice as well :-) dancing a bit suspect though.... Makes me proud to ride and IF, think an Crown Jewel might be next on the list.
Pompousness is so unattractive and this video reeks of it, change the music.

The problem is, the public doesn't want to see
all this gay activity going on behind the scenes at the reacharound factory

Where can I learn to weld like that? Awesome! What were you doing with the gas torch, solder?
