" The kitchen in our lives bases unconventional to say the least and the look throughout is out of a stainless steel kind of diner kitchen so everything that's going in here is. Custom made at a restaurant supply. Place and it's all stainless steel fabrication even down to the drawers with the inserts. We've got a quarter unit that we've got open space for the range and we got a big kind of L shaped unit this part of it has more drawer open shelving sink dishwasher gets pushed in there and then the most unusual part of the lay out. Which is part of the design of the whole lot is that it's Eskew would set a fifteen degree angle. To be the wall and so it's it's a kind of customize thing and Bob watts is here to help the solid piece from granite metal services. And job. Now what's this problematic getting it up here every what's left to do now they made these."
" Pieces just above the right side view of fifth floor legal openings from the front door all the way up here. Well obviously. They could make this a one piece we couldn't get it -- you wouldn't really transported you know we're gonna world of a field -- what we call a field joint welded in place. And then we'll. Position effect where it's gonna go against the wall all right now stainless steel welding can be very very beautiful or can be sloppy he would go and tell us that let's learn how you get a good well here well it. It's first it's equipment we use in this is a tig weld them. And a uses tungsten and inert gas which is normally use GIG that gives you very finite type -- mostly usable if there is all right. And that it. It concentrates the heat is supposed to stick welding. A mig welding -- of automatic way afraid that that is too much material and the heat you just can't control. What we're going to have to do here we'll get this a position will put a plate on the idea and missiles serves two purposes which help us to keep this joint flat. Which we want while we're welding. And do we have to know that the -- and take away some of the heat."
" OK so itself. Clamped together and ready to well when you're taking some safety precautions -- it is -- want to come on -- so I don't burn my arms. But this animal important thing is to make sure that you don't and I want her to stick my dad's okay we're gonna where it was welding helmet. And that's going to be kind of and I just won't look I'll go -- is this that the tungsten energy guest is we'll switch guns. I'll ask you this Bob well here's what -- right now. Don't look at pretty light. You can think about this steel welding as a two step operation a rough part and a finish part in this attack welding -- spot -- that he's doing now is the Iraq. That basically brings the two pieces of metal together and keeps them together. Now the welding that you've been doing here is the finish part of it right posted as well yeah and that's the part that will be ground down that is understand it in the corner you got to add some of -- some distance filler material. I'm going to have to answer wind because we have a little gap -- had to use tax law. To get a good fit -- wanna all right so do we take the clamps -- of our -- now. And what's still the water that than that he's putting on their new and thought -- was on minutes controls heat. In addition to these and we used. And it keeps it from distorting and this is the same diseases stainless steel right practices the same basic material as a tabletop for certain now when you start welding you'll be -- them melting some of that into the gap -- right into that make it patted him."
" All right so the grinder really makes quick work out of it it's not harbor on the paper -- and aluminum oxide and that's all use there. And then. How will he deal with that the rough part of the world in the actual bullnose here in the corner he's going to take he had covered -- Mounted on the -- yeah. -- There's so many steps involved in getting a really beautiful finish on this now what do you use there rouge for all the road. We used to address these let it real these rules are going to do the final finish Phyllis has been rubbed onto this this policy. OK on three. One. Too great. And then back and let's see how it goes into the corner it. --"
" To fit it in a little bit. Why that is a nice job Bob."
