Oxy-Acetylene heat shrinking: by Andy Kelly

This video was put together so that absent students (full time unemployed students class) can see the training missed and others can reflect and use this as a reference for their write ups. It's important to remember this is only one method and there are several ways to shrink metal.

When lighting the torch only turn on the acetylene a little and light straight away, I had two students playing about during the previous video (metal finishing), during this recording and I wanted to get there attention as id already spoken to them, so I allowed the gas to build too much before sparking the flint, I got there attention!!

I am now teaching classic vehicle fabrication, body repair and restoration skills at Heritage Skills Academy based at Bicester Heritage and Brooklands Museum, please look up www.heritageskillsacademy.co.uk if your interested in any of our courses.
