I agree with all the others; perfect weld, grind skill of a fourth grader. I am no professional, but I would have made it to where you would barely see the exit point.

These blocks were high quality blocks manufactured exclusively for this welding process. They came with the welder with specific instructions. The guy that stacked them had to watch a 4hr video on the stacking process and fly to New York to do a stack test before they were allowed to unwrap the package or else it would void the warranty on the machine.

Perfect weld ruined with that brute of a grinder.
I like the machine.

Два куска трубы по два метра. Почему сразу трубу не делать 4-хметровой?

This is like using Blur in photoshop

@bunchisfunky Actually NASA uses it because the base material never reaches melting temperature which changes the properties of some metals. A quality tig weld is going to be just as strong as a friction weld if done right.

@TommiTdi haha no its not it cools alot when its not being melted it cant fucking hold! how do u think gas welding is without rod just like this ur a dumb fuck im a welder
-
@thierryxxthierry I SAID ITS NOT BEING MELTED!!! I.e Its being welded below MELTING POINT you FUCKING TWAT!
-
@TommiTdi you dont know shit molecules are being stirred together that means its a solid weld u moron get ur facts straight
The one thing that really stuck in my mind watching this video was the marvellous unsophistication of the pipe being held up by a haphazard stack of wood blocks :)
