Just thought this was interesting. I never realised these tanks are made from one piece of metal. No wonder they are so damn expensive.

Awesome. No wonder those top regs/ports are practically impossible to remove.

Did some of that equipment look crude to anyone else? Mainly the ram that went into the tank.

Yes I thoroughly enjoyed the machine that was similar to a lathe and shaped the hot metal. I remember recording this on my DVR last year but I had forgotten about it, thanks for posting!
Yeah, it's that important.
