Win?
Easy. Just write a description and appraisal better then mine

We've admired Tuomas's skill, hand guided at that, for quite awhile.

Comment doesn't need to be positive, of course it would be weird if one that hate's it would be winner. But, that's possible too.

Oh, I HATE it alright. That being how much effort it would take for me to approximate it, let alone copy.
Same time though, clearly need to upgrade my wheel selections.

Grinder wheels sure have changed since i made my first cuts.
These new ones are lighter to use, when you only need to
guide grinder, without need to push it at all.

I got some new wheels for to be tested. Flexible "hard" grinding wheels. Those are like grinding with flap wheel, but lasts much longer.
Video about making the stand comes after holidays, heat treating the anvil is included to that same video too. I cut it out from this, because its actually somewhat long process.

Abrasives in general like belts are better, but wheels certainly have evolved; in both shaping and finishing grades. Your videos running at normal speed, ideal proof, and not on simple low carbon but far tougher steels.

Once that's painted, wondering percentage of people would not believe this is hand made, or produced by a private shop.
I'd feel sorry for them, but it'd be a lost cause.

Thanks. Its still missing some parts. I will integrate leg vise to it too. Video comes when its ready.

Btw. While welding it, i got an idea about simple aid that makes easier to learn " walking the cup " with tig.

Simple octagon shaped cup.
Its easier to " walk " with the edged, than round shape.

Short clip shows the use:

Note that camera is on the way, so i need to feed additive over it.
It would be better to feed it in lower angle.

Results:







I haven't used that method earlier, just the " traditional " way.
Actual cup is a shaped copper pipe on top of the size 6 ceramic cup.



Octagon shape is made by pressing pipe around suitable sized nut head.

Helped me to learn the method.
