Thanks for the interest hope to figure out how to keep the videos coming as well. the yellow tube is a fume extractor hooked up to a fan in the attic very nice to be able to weld and exsaust the fumes as your welding. this brand is called plymo vent, nederman is another brand. I have a friend that has a couple for sale if your interested.

The shop has only taking me 22 years to get it to this point it definitly did not happen overnight. Thanks for the interest and please keep following the build it is going to start getting good soon!
