    First saw that in the early 70's in the welding engineering department at OSU. (The one in Ohio

    Very neat process, but not many people can do it at home. LOL

    That weld at the 0:56 mark is NOT submerged arc welding. That's tig weld from someone who kicks ass at welding.

    That could be true, you don't typically see the heat affected color scale with SAW. Although I have only seen that one demonstration, back in the 70s'. If the flux was removed right aware, the colors could still form.

    But that is a big weldment for someone to do with manual TIG. Perhaps robotic TIG.

    I'm surprised they weave with that robotic process. Weaves are generally frowned upon because they're significantly weaker than stringers. Every robotic process I've seen just does stringers. The original video looked liked someone who did a great job of walking the cup.
