Not mine (obviously!) but this seems an interesting and well documented project:

Not yet I guess, there is the outtakes though:

A question:
Everytime he lays down a weld, shortly after finfishing he blips it one more time..
Is there a sensible reason for this or just neurotic behaviour..........?

Dazed and Confused....

Superb, and really shows how much work is involved !

Cool work frame as well.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

I'd assumed this was to make sure there is a bit of wire sticking out of the tip of the torch, ready for the next weld and making sure it hasn't stuck?

The arc after he's finished welding shouldn't happen, the wire on the proper mig machines normally goes back abit so you don't get stuck in the weld pool when you finish, he might be doing it for the post flow gas to keep the pool free of porosity at the end
