Wow, that’s impressive. That took some time to learn such a skill.

Very, very nice welding. Large beads as favoured over the pond.
Here's something we made earlier featuring ace welder Eldon on duty. He favours a smaller bead size and has recently invested in a new TIG set with variable frequency to further improve quality.

That's really nice but I think the complexity and finish of it all sort of adds to the whole thing and over exagerrates (?) the welding. I dare say there are people on here who can weld like that.
As for art, it's something I've though about for quite a bit now and that is what I call art due to the fact that it DOES have function. Surely it's an art to get all them shiny machined pieces working in harmony together and to get a still glimpse of them is, well art.

Prefer a smooth finish meself - he could have gone over the top with the tig torch and smoothed it off
