It may be true that Steve's no actor, but he sure can make some smooth, straight cuts. He stresses safety, which should always be a priority for any welder. He shows many mistakes (all the ones I've been making) and how to correct them. This video made me a much better torch cutter.
nota bene - The last 15 minute of rack building is on the second DVD.
Paterek shows how to braze together a rear rack and 3 different stems made from cromoly tubing. He covers the tools needed and where to buy material. There are definitely occasions when you need a true custom part, but with silver solder selling for $99 a roll, it's not going to be cheap. If you are not already familiar with brazing and tubing bending, you will likely find these projects a steep climb. Photography and audio are adequate. Sometimes Paterek seems a little unsure of himself. He mentions using a lathe and milling machine to make fittings, then leaves it to you to mash the end of a tube flat in a vise. Final painting is not shown.
