when using the weld on stud process on japanese or metric tanks, may i suggest using a European travel plug adapter if you are in the U.S. this will convert American electricity into metric electricity and provide a far stronger weld point. Obviously if you are working on a Harley Davidson then don't use metric electricity.

Had me with the first line: "Honda Goldwing tank"

That's how I remove dents , seriously . Will be out of hospital in 2 weeks for my new vid : How to milk a cow with a Vacuum cleaner !

The wires going into the mashed up power socket just killed me with laughter😂😂 😂 😆😆 😆 So glad this came into my recommendations!

I was blown away with the detail and workmanship along with a very rare skill set .. congrats.

watching your videos is like a breath of fresh air everybody's so busy and serious in this fast-paced world.

This video is awesome! Thank you Ichiban Moto. This completely removed the hair from my brows and beard when I did the first step but the results were well worth it. No more gas in the tank! I used an old screw driver instead of the coat hanger and the circuit breaker kept tripping so I removed it and wired everything straight up and it worked beautifully. Holding the wires by hand was not a great experience the first few minutes but then after the burnt skin got hard it was much easier.

Awesome instructional video, with great tips!!! I found it helps the welding part when you wash your hands thoroughly and weld while your hands are still wet. This prevents the oils in your skin from getting on the metal during the weld. Oh, it also helps to stand in a puddle so you know your feet aren't kicking up dust from the floor

I REALLY LOVE THIS GUY , Because this is totaly original in humour ; reasons is that he is actually showing the truth in the way of doing it but actually all you have to do is just to use the proper materials and tools to accomplish what he says GREAT WORK !

Good video. Lots of useful tips on how to piss off trolls who don't see this as a funny joke and just good entertainment. You Nomah Wahn Ichiban!

I've been doing tanks for over 35 years and his methods seem to work a lot better than mine. I suggest that you use his tank dent pulling system. One thing though instead of using 110 volts use 220 to weld the nail to the tank.

I freaking love this guy! Dead pan delivery makes this joke video that much funnier. Only a fool would take this as serious. He's got other funnier videos.

"metric vice grips" :-D +10 points

XD i didnt see the word parody in the title and the entire time i was watching this i was thinking this guy cant be fucking serious

"Tip" Put beer bottles on your fingers, hold them up.. look through while welding.

Love this guy, so dry and serious. But so blatantly obvious at the same time!

I restore sars for a living and this IS THE BEST AND MOST BRILLIANT film on this subject I have EVER SEEN!!! KUDOS!!

This is a refreshing alternative to the how-to videos where the guy goes on and on about safety issues. Great way to cull the stupid population. Keep 'em coming!

I love the humor you mix in with solid advice. it makes the rigors of repair oh so much more enjoyable. thanks!!

I'm going to comment on all your videos with how crazy ingenious you are ...

Thanks a lot!! I can't believe how easy it is to do that. Thanks for showing!!!

It's sad that you have to put parody in the title for people to realize it. Even then some people can't figure it out lol. Anways, I think your vids are......badass haha

I didn't read the whole title of the video before I started watching. When you said the tank was from a Gold Wing, I knew something was amiss. Very funny video.

This is the best therapy for Muffler bearing trauma I've ever had ,the COMMENTS are worth Millions, depending on what currency U use.!!!! THANK'S from NOR-CAL!!!!!

Dude. I tried this a dozen times and knocked 3 of my Fukn teeth out !!!!

I love it when you troll them and they still complain!

I just love the shape of those Goldwing gas tanks. You sir are a true professional! Thank you!

I tried this method and it works great. You don't always need top end tools to do good work. Don't knock it till You try for yourself. Funny, the people criticizing are the ones who probably can't even change their own oil.....Thanks, very helpful....

Everything was all good and funny until he cut that sanding disc right out of the middle of the paper, that's when my OCD kicked in.

What a comedian.. you almost had me for a minute

The algorithm was beaten today and this 7 year old gem resurfaced! Please restart the cafè racer project!

Good job Itchyban! I'm renovating a foot & inches motorbicycle but I think I'll still be able to use some of your tips & tricks. I'm really looking forward to trying out these dent pulling methods this weekend - especially the electric weldy one. I just hope it doesn't rain this weekend because my workshop roof leaks and the floor gets terribly wet. Bad ass!

Honda Goldwing tank, lol....

I just laughed my ass off till I cried watching this!!! Thank you for this video it made my day

10K comedians LOL Great body work on the tank. Keep em coming

Love it. Love it I showed this to my wife. We do most of this stuff on the kitchen table. Now she realises l am not the only lunatic in the world.

This video is misleading. Repairs are always easy when using professional tools as used here. The problem is the average hobbyist haven't got access to this level of expensive specialist tools!

To everyone who is offering their negative feedback, I don't understand. I have been following the videos and using his techniques with great results. The only think I find fault with is using the bare wire in the outlet. This is extremely dangerous! You must use two metal paperclips and attach the wire to them first. then easily insert into the socket. Obviously he has never has yet to have a strand of wire bend back and lodge under his fingernail. I literally shuddered watching him stick the wire into the outlet without paperclips.

Even though I wondered about Tuna-fish's "Gold-wing tank", you had me fooled for the first minute. Absolutely brilliant!

Lol I love the editing with your power drill and little baby scissors

LOL Need to get myself a set of those multi-purpose mini-scissors. Those are bad ass.

A comic masterpiece. Thank you.

Thanks for posting Ichiban! You pros always make this stuff look easy!

Damn! I knew I was doing it wrong. Never listen to your little girl when it comes to dent removal. She told me to lure Pixies and fairies into the tank by laying a trail of sugar cubes from the bottom of the garden where they live, all that way to the shed where I kept the dented tank. "When the pixies and the fairies get inside the tank put a lid on it. You can make a lid with pastry," she said. I did that and nothing happened but my little girl said I just have to be patient and they will beat out the dents from the inside if I just sing to them. I spent a year in my shed singing to my bike tank but it failed. I am starting to think there never were any fairies or pixies in my tank at all. I am going to do it like this now, so thanks man. That's bad ass.

4:20 You just KNOW somebody's gonna try to weld like that.

You use so advanced technology, that you should do "behind the scenes" series.

Third time I've come across Mr. Badass. LOL This guy is a trip! Its like he never quite made it out of middle school emotionally or mentally. But, then again, I can say that about most people I meet. Gotta remember Ichiban Moto is just a series of comedy routines.

This guy is just brilliant , how he keeps from laughing i'll never know

You can also enter a firecracker and close the cap. It works quite well

For the people that think he is doing all the work with the homemade tools!!!?? Really??? Troll level.... 100000000000000000 Hahaha this is gold (24k)

Badass! I have set of those same Metric Visegrips, but never knew what I could use them for..

Man, you are old school! The way it had to be done back when. I enjoyed this video very much.

Dude. I havent laughed this hard in a really long time. GG

A sure fire way is to put water in the tank put the cap on and wedge it in the microwave for 10 to 15 mins, this works 1/100 times.

What a bad ass old man with some crazy ideas love it, want to see more and more!

It has been over twenty five years since SNL was funny.. They need to hire this guy!!...

Wow. You must have a mission to thin out the idiots.

I like how your fingers are resistant to the electricity from the wall socket, That must be the reason only a black belt mechanic should try this. and my Swiss army scissors aren't quite as good as yours hahahah. you really must patent those boogers they cut wicked good. Thanks for the vid tho

Actually by lighting the inside of the gas tank on fire you might get lucky and it might pop the dents out on it's own from the explosion hahaha!!! Love this guy!!!

I love how you got the gasoline out of the tank! Ill have to make myself a sander like that! Really took the paint and epoxy right off!

You high-tech kids! I remember back in the day; we had to blow dents out with our lungs, and we didn't even have gas tanks.

METHYL-ETHEL-CASETONE Lol

OK, you got me. I missed the parody part and was about to start screaming before I saw the remarks.

Burn off the excess fuel was a good tip, i didn't think of that. Thank you Ichiban.

Way too much work and a waste of gasoline. try this next time. Instead of burning the gas off at the beginning, make it your friend. Seal the cap on the tank and then run you electrical wires in through the bottom. Then plug it in and let it arc and spark. That should blow the dents out. e sure you have enough gasoline in to do the job, but not enough to blow it up. That's the tricky part.

hey, why not try a safer way, fill it with water, put the cap on, and put in freezer, overnight it will expand and push out the dents. try it!

Smiling! I know it's been 8 years but it gave me a good laugh, thanks.

Dude! I was all in till your welding magic! Lol.

Very well done! ;~)

I've always wanted to get into welding, is this method okay for frame building?

great parody, some of the serious comments are just as funny!

Mathew sent me here,,, good vid!! What a great sense of humor!!

Lol. R u trying to kill people!

you had me right up to the hot glue ,thanks for the good laugh

And you're just sticking wires into electrical sockets... Hard core son lol. Great video other than that. Thanks so much for sharing

Dude "YOU THE MAN" excellent job, possibly best video I ever saw

I've looked all over but can't find them, did you have to go to an imports tool shop for your metric vise grips?

"Metric" Vise grips???? LOL!!!

You, sir, are the king of DIY.

I love this video. One of the best on the internet. Very, very helpful.

My god! He could cut that metal nail with his tiny Swiss sesior... And that dyi diamond paper revolving thing... 😜

This guy has obviously never heard of Magic Powder...... You sprinkle it over the tank and the next morning your tank will look as good as new again. Simple. It's not cheap but it saves you a lot of work. You can buy this powder at your local Goblin store or ask any elf where to buy it.

Anybody downvoting this clearly takes it seriously, and anybody who takes this seriously should really relax. Subscribed.

LOl! Metric vice grips..LOL this guy,s humor!! I just wish I had the precision tools like his!!!! LMAO

Dang it. I'm never 100% sure if I should take you seriously or not.. Or 90%.. or 50%..

What if I only have SAE vice grips?

Lol.. I didn't see "parody video" in the title before I watched this video.. I was so confused when he said pulling pin for a nail and hot glue for tubing... 😂😂

When welding in confined areas I use a small household potted plant as my earthing point. Health and safety tricks are badass.

i beleived everything he did in the vdo until i watched it again after reading he comments. i feel stupid now.

from the spark from the plug cant be true i am an electrician and i can telyou 2 thing 1 do that you will pop the fuse or breaker each time 2 the spark was from 12 volts not 120volt in 40 year i seen many 120 spark to know

I can barely see through the tears of laughter to comment about them "badass" scissors.

This worked better then I ever expected ! Got hit my a steam roller on my old street bike, he cut me off. Tank was smashed like a piece a junk, used this technique and was up and riding in no time, not to mention the tanked looked almost perfect !! Thanks PS The metric vise grips don't matter.

I need a diamond bladed swiss army knife like he's got. those scissors cut thru nails like butter.

What a maroon! every professional knows it's much safer and stronger to use wood dowels with a wood welder, they use much less electricity! And that metric vise grip is a left handed one and he's using it in his right hand ( what an amateur) ! Also it would be a lot faster to use " Hot Paper" to remove the paint, this guy is gonna go out of business unless he learns fast!

Ok, when I saw the match in the gas tank I thought, "What could possibly go wrong?" By the time I got to the home-made welder, I was in hysterics. If only I could get "the new guy" to do this at the shop.

All the rags in the background throwing a lit match in the fuel tank skit was zany.

what in the name of homemade fuck?

"Metric" Vice Grips?.....Hot glue? ??

Gotta love the part where he throws a match into the tank, and welding from a wall socket. Holy shit! Faarking beautiful!

Omg! I feel like a lot of idiots are gonna get killed using your welding method. Lol! very funny video.
