Excellent welding video Youtube

admin

Brothers,You must check out this hilarious  youtube video [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgAThGrCV4A[/ame]    from the Phillipines advertising some machine.  It is too funny, but after watching, you MUST read all 125+ comments left by real welders. (Just click on the words "You Tube" on the top line of the above video box) Welders have such a great sense of humor. Must read... Regards.Last edited by yesindeed; 06-05-2009 at 06:01 PM.Reason: get URL correct
Reply:What?  He dropped it in water while holding it and welding with it?
Reply:This is a Philippine government training video on the latest approved state of the art safety regulations there. As you can see, they are a bit behind us in the area of worker safety. if you look close, you can almost see his corneas melting. You have to read the viewer comments left on youtube to get the full experience,Last edited by yesindeed; 06-05-2009 at 08:04 PM.
Reply:I think putting it in water improved the duty cycle
Reply:Hydro-electric power...I've seen those welders on Ebay for sale before...I still don't understand how they work though. I researched them a year or so ago out of wonder at them and still don't get it.There are a lot of youtube videos on them though.I think this is the original invention---  [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC_tIQG5Rew&feature=related[/ame]  and the one on EbayLast edited by mudbugone; 06-05-2009 at 09:58 PM.

Reply:I am seriously considering retiring in the Philippines in a couple of years.  I was considering taking my welding machines with me and setting up a small shop when I get there.HOW CAN I COMPETE WITH THOSE TYPE OF WELDERS!!!  All the AC power in the PI is 220 volt, 60 HZ.  Don’t stick your finger in a light socket.  If they keep using those type of power connections, welder coolers (buckets of water) and the safety gear in the videos, they just might electrocute themselves, burn their buildings down or go blind before I get there.  Has anyone heard from PHWELDER lately?  I PM'd him a couple of weeks ago, but no response.Last edited by H2Os50; 06-06-2009 at 12:11 PM.Butch W.Lincoln 180C MIGThermalArc TA 185 - WP-20 TorchMiller 375 X-treme Plasma CutterVictor Journeyman O/A Set

Reply:look how he holds it on the load side, and then he drops it in water with his hand WTF! how is this guy not getting lit up? that service panel looks like it may have flashed a time or two, it's all black. I guess thats the latest bernard cooler

Reply:Hmmm, the saying STUPID IS, STUPID DOES comes to mind for some reason.
