TIG Porn

[Parm]

Today I went to a factory in Dunstable that specialise in the manufacture of gimbals, flexible metal tube and various other bendy fittings for the space, aerospace and military aviation industries. Some of the shapes and geometries, not to mention that they were working with paper thin S/S, inconel and Titanium the hand applied welding was just flippin awesome, real welding porn. I'm no welder but I've spent enough time in other peoples factories to know what's good and what isn't.

The best bit is that this company is the best in the world at doing what they do, despite the fact that they were flattened in the Buncefield explosion a few years ago, in fact so good that they have a such a strong order book to justify moving into bigger premises and employ more people.

I have photos of THIER work but due to security agreements I'm not allowed to upload here

Does that make you a "tig teaser" ? I wonder

 

[Maker]

I don't suppose you could upload them if a mod moved this thread to the private forum?

 

[Parm]

We have signed confidentiality agreements. It's more than my jobs worth to upload photos.

I can tell you that they make flexible metal tube for the Arriane Space Rocket, ****** awesome work

 

[Maker]

[Parm]

Sorry to be a tease, but people on here so times talk about awesome workmanship, well today I witnepsed it my self for the first time. I've pretty much seen it all until this morning. They redefined the meaning of Top Notch !!

I'd be more interested in their wages

 

[Maker]

I'd be more interested in their wages

It's probably places like this where all that "Welders make £1000 per day" crap comes from.

 

[Parm]

I never even thought of asking, I'm there in a few weeks time for a three or four day project, I can find out if you guys are interested

 

[Tigman]
