I really can't get on with ali tig, but I persevere, sigh...
Same.
I only weld aluminium, I do it every day,
its only bird cages I make but I still do it every day,
biggest factor is interest in what you're doing, who in the right mind does something for 8hrs a day then goes home to do it again at night, I'm also never happy with anything a make,
I'd be very happy with what you've made and shown on here. Superb craftsmanship.

If my welding aluminium was half as good as yours I'd be chuffed.
Not enough practice, and skill here.

Another **** of a job, I had been struggling with making a bush for something and was trying to work out what internal thread I was copying, turned out to be 13/16" by 20 so finishing that I jumped onto another job that worked out even more bizarre:
I simply didn't have a tap for this so I reached for one of my get_out_of_Jail tools:
the plastic shroud pushes into the opposite side to the cutter that restores the thread, works really well:
Not cheap though :-(

It is a "Threadmate" and I had a bit of a look around yesterday to see what they are selling at now and couldn't find one for sale. I do remember though it was expensive.

I don't know anything about your specific Aussie offer, of course, but I called my official Hazet dealer here:
Under this designation there is indeed this tool with the identical dimensions as the ThreatMate from @northwest ...
... and Hazet is particularly proud of it: about € 250 including tax!
But there is some confusion:
A stands for external thread;
I stands for internal thread;
G probably just for thread;
At least the external thread version is also available for threads > 13mm (AG-1 @~€ 65, AG-3 @~€200)
This seems to be 1:1 the former ThreatMate (takeover? label?) ...
And then Hazet has probably also a much older own tool at least for external thread still in their program ....

Part of the reason I wondered if they were Chinese is because my link was “mister worker”!

Really?
A whole new world of temptations opens up ...
Hazet is, next to Gedore, the second big old German tool manufacturer that has survived and is important until today.
HAZET was founded in 1868 by Hermann Zerver. The brand name "HAZET" has its roots in the written out initials of the founder, the "H" (pronounced "Ha" in German) for Hermann and the "Z" (pronounced "Zet" in German) for Zerver. HAZET is in the fifth generation of family ownership.
Good stuff, proudly priced.
