  Channel is criminally underrated.

  Brilliant! I want to make NiCr thin film resistors on ceramic substrates some day and am taking notes :)

  Utterly gobsmacked that you&apos;re doing this as an individual. &nbsp;It really is remarkable work and your explanations and presentation of content is excellent. &nbsp;Thank you.

  Really nice work! How did you bond the copper cooling pipes in the glass feed through for the boat holder? &nbsp;That turbopump spin-down noise must have had very high pucker factor!

  One hint for future high vacuum welding: Start your weld 10mm next to the parts you want to weld together and move on from there. Then, before releasing the trigger, again move 10mm away from the weld. <br>Like this, you will eliminate many leaks because leaks often occure at the starting or finishing point of a weld. If the starting and stopping point is on solid material and not on the gap, you won&apos;t have a leak there.<br>I&apos;m not a professional welder too but have worked 7 years as a maintenance technician on a jumbo-size Glass PVD-Coater. The chamber of these is around 100 meters long, containing 220 Turbo molecular pumps.<br>Also I want to say that this is an awesome Project! Thanks for the video.

  He made a thermal PVD! In his home! Who is this guy ? Is he mad? Absolutely incredible. Hats off to you.

  man, I must say I&apos;m impressed. Having worked on these kind of machines in clean rooms, I know how fragile and finicky they are even profesionnally maintained on a regular basis, so building some with repaired defective parts that takes some perseverance and dedication.

  Mind blowing. Is it the most technologically advanced work achieved by an individual on youtube?

  I am an Industrial technician/millwright that used to work in a chemical company using PVD. This video reminds me of my task with Reactors and all the TIG Welding and all the valves and vacuum pumps , &nbsp;compressors, and so on. Your video is very educational. <br><br>I gave it a like and subscribed.

  I came across this video years ago wondering how anyone would find a DIY application for this but now I’m back so thanks for making this!

  I also have damaged a turbo myself its very infuriating to know something happened because of your own mistakes, this is an amaizing build btw
