"Weld anything from the crack of dawn, to broken hearts, to eggshells to spiderwebs".

Brilliant.

My exhaust has some awesome welding, titanium.

That will be robotic welding id imagine on any mass produced item like a backbox.

Karlos - chipping slag is arc welding and would never be like the first post as that will be tig welding, same as Phil D's evo exhaust.

anto 306 ahh I hadn't realised, it's just it's an exhaust from a small tuner in Japan, FEELS Honda twin cam, I was told the exhausts were only made to order, also being titanium (also an option to have SS) I thought it was done by hand. It's still pretty :p

There is every likelyhood it is done by hand.

A skilled welder will make it look as good as that !

My Granda has been welding pretty much all his life from the age of 15 and is regarded as one of the best welders about by anyone who has seen his work. He constantly produces some fantastic welds like the ones above. Some of them really are a work of art.

I'm an ok welder but when he's watching me I tend to flop under pressure as I know I can't produce anything near the same levels of quality as him, but seeing the expressions he pulls at some of my welds can be quite comical. On the odd occasion when I do produce a semi-decent weld I tend to act like a bit of a child and set it places to try and draw his attention in search of a compliment but I haven't had any joy on that front yet,lol.

what does he do/ work at?

All these welds are machine welds
Robots etc
I'm a tig welder 10 years now and takes a steady hand to do these welds
If I knew how to post photos I cud stick up a few of my welds

Not one of John Marcella's manifolds contains a machine weld. All done by hand.

Plenty of people out there who are capable of producing perfect welds as shown, I doubt i will ever have the talent to do what they do, but some people are just born to do it.

Have a load of WeldPorn stickers ordered last week :laughing:

My aim is to get good enough to have them post a photo of my work. At that point I think it would be safe to say the work is sh*t hot.

A fair amount of practice needed first though

Some of the stuff blows my mind and I don't even come from/have a fabrication background.
