Is this technique as straightforward as it seems? Am I missing something?
That's astonishing.I stopped watching when I saw him welding without a lid and what appear to be clear safety glasses, no gloves either. I'm a rank amateur but even I wouldn't do that.
Is it unkind to label him an idiot?
Well it's his workshop, his hands, and I'm assuming he closed his eyes while tacking. His H&S may not be up to much, but he's no idiot obviously.
Intersting thing he did with that 45deg cut, I have some of those clamp tools too, never used mine either.
Couldn't pin his accent down - Irish, Canadian?

I'd say yes the technique is just as it seems, it's how i'd do it, except in my opinion he's fitted the cap the wrong way round the it's going to want to open as the cars going down the road.

I thought that at first as well. But he describes how the bed has been cut so I think the left hand edge is the front of the bed.
