I found the english version if anyone wants to know what they're saying.

Very inspiring.  I've got some old sheet metal and might have to give that stuff a try.  Love the idea of using the nut as a rivet set.

Thanks for the English version, there's a lot of good info in there.  Might have to make one of the cylinder stoves you see there.  It'd be great for camping.

really beautiful to watch - i wish the rest of the world was more like this situation! :) no more or less than what is needed. perfect :) 

Inspiring.  thanks for the post

Wow! That was inspiring and embarrassing at the same time.. I may never complain about not having good tools again and I feel bad about the electric metal shears I bought last year. 

What you can do with determination and necessity is amazing.

Thanks for posting

Inspiring to see such effortless mastery.

 

Made me laugh though at 9.50 when the voiceover says "you need to be able to electric weld" and the man is gas welding...they made the same but opposite mistake in the "Full Monty" film whilst watching a clip of Jennifer Beale arc welding and saying "she's not much of a welder...her oxygen's too high" :)

Alan, I actually thought they were brazing at that point.  Either way definitely not arc.

Did you? I have just had another look and I will stick with welding :)

 

I thought one leg had been tack welded before they started and there appeared to be sparks popping off around 10.20 which I read as welding heat. The tack weld fillet seen on the back leg around 10.00 looked steely rather than bronzy I thought...mind you it is 4.54am here and I have been up all night trying to get my books done so my eyes are not exactly fresh!

Wow! I'm going to go sharpen my chisel and hang up my power tools for a few days

Definitely welding @ 9:50.  They're using copper plated steel filler rod (the copper plating increases shelf life by creating a barrier between the iron and available oxygen).  The scale finish when they're done is a dead giveaway.
