4130 Chromemoly Airframe Construction - VHS
by Ken White (The Tin Man)
2 tape set - 4 hrs 17 minutes               $68.50

4130.bmp (247662 bytes) This video goes through the details of 4130 chromemoly tube fabrication. It begins with a very detailed look at the fabrication of a small part, in this case a rudder pedal. It then completes the rudder pedal control assembly, moves on to a larger part, the rudder itself and contiues with restoration and repair of various aspects on a Stinson Gullwing Airframe.  Jigging and gas welding are covered with the use a a high tech camera lens which shows the welding process close up and in detail

As with other Tin Man videos, much of the time spent is informal chat which in other productions might have ended up on the cutting room floor.  ...and thats too bad because all that lengthy chat is where 90% of the value lies.  While other videos tend to rush through the basics this one is full of the little hints techniques needed not just to get a job done, but to get it done to the highest standards.

from the tape box description:
You can build a complete airframe with simple tools, a set of plans, and the information contained in this video set.  Jig construction, measuring, cutting, fitting, bending, assembling, tacking, and welding, are shown in detail going from the rudder pedals, to the rudder, and then the fuselage.  Over 60 years of building experience are presented in detail along with answers to the 11 most asked questions at Oshkosh Welding Workshops
