No Music, No Commercials, No Running Off at the Mouth, Clear and Straight to the Points of Interest. Anyone with the idea to learn welding should see this video. Excellent video.

Hey Mike, I've welded Mig, Tig, Stick professionally for over 43 years with too many certifications. Not bragging I've just been around since JFK was president. I want to say outstanding job. Hell, I thought I was taking a refresher course. Again, outstanding job Mike.

Legend! My dad's a weld supervisor and I'm trying to surprise him that his pen pusher son can Tig

As a journeyman boilermaker (graduate of Boilermaker apprenticeship) you can definitely learn to Tig weld in 21 minutes. I did. The other 3 years 364 and 15/16 days of my apprenticeship were spent learning stick welding.

Tl;Dr.
I appreciate you and everything that you do Mike. I grew up welding in the oilfield here in Texas. I had my own rig and chased the pipeline until we had my son and my wife demanded a house instead of the Airstream. We settled in West Texas and I was never out of work until the recession hit in 1986 and everything stopped. There was no work anywhere and all of my friends were losing everything that they had. I got line on a job in Corpus Christi with a company that built stainless steel milk tankers. I had never TIG welded in my life but had had a strong background in gas welding. I showed up to test and was pretty lost but figured out how to set up the machine (the shielding gas wasn't an issue since I also had a MIG machine and was familiar with it). But I was having trouble and one of the welders saw this and strolled by the test station and dropped a sharpened Tungsten on the table as he strolled by. I took the hint and put it in the gun and it was like the sky opened up! I then proceeded to build what they had on the blueprints (I can't remember now exactly what it was) and I passed the test. Thankfully, they teamed me with a guy who had forgotten more than I'll ever know and he molded me into a good stainless steel TIG welder. We never failed a USDA inspection and they crawl around those tanks with black lights looking for the slightest inclusion where bacteria might grow. It was an amazing experience and I loved it, even though I drove my rig to work every day and never fired it up.
We welded everything except aluminum and I wanted to learn aluminum. Rey, my work partner, would show me a little every now and then when we had a little down time and I'd practice. But I never got good welding aluminum. I could weld stainless all day, no matter how thin. But aluminum was a different animal and I was never at a point where I was confidant in my ability.
I said all that to say this: I'm 68 and retiring in 2022 and want to buy a TIG machine to weld aluminum. I have an aluminum boat that needs a lot of help and don't want to have to rely on a spool gun. Some of the aluminum I'll be working with is very light. So I'm using your videos to refresh my memory on a lot of stuff and to learn things that I never learned. Your channel and "Welding Tips And Tricks" are two of the best that I've seen. I've bought machines that I'd have never even considered before watching your videos. Yes Welders? Yes, please! Inverter technology rocks! I have a couple of them in my shop that I haven't been able to break. So I'm looking forward to your aluminum demo. If you've made it I just haven't found it yet. I've subscribed to your channel for a long time but don't get notifications very often.
Keep rocking these things out and I'll keep following along. You're an amazing guy with a ton of talent! And you're a great teacher. Seriously! There are probably thousands of truly skilled welders and fabricators out there who don't have the ability to explain to others how to do what they do. I know a bunch of them personally! I look in the mirror and see someone who is not a good teacher! I don't know as much as much as many others that I've worked with but what I do know, and know very well, I can't teach.
Thank you again for all that you do.

THERE ARENT MANY VIDEOS THAT I WILL WATCH TO THE END, but your such a solid dude, you have my rapt attention. Very very good tutorial.

I am 66 years old and started learning tig today for the very first time with a young enthusiastic skilled welder. My welds were crap, however what you just showed reinforced everything this young man taught me, so now a lot of practice, Thanks for uploading

[blam]

So many teachers and trainers omit or assume because of the “burden of knowledge” and fail to grasp the importance of foundational concepts, and linear presentation. You deserve an award for this video. Thanks for making it, it helped me.

[denniscliff]

This is an EXCELLENT instructional video. I purchased a TIG welder awhile back but have not yet got into using it. Now I feel confident to get started. I love to listen to an instructor that has a perfect command of language. Clear and concise. Thank you.

[zalleywaalley]

you’re so humble, I don’t think you know how much you’re helping new DIYers like me. I don’t even have a welder yet but I have decided to convert a school bus. So there are some things that I need to weld like window deletes and stuff like that thank you so much for your content.

Directions...are right
On..thanks

[whocares]

I'm new to TIG welding, have been MIG and Stick welding for over 30 years and recently bought a TIG machine from a neighbor after her husband passed away. I have watched a few videos on the basics of TIG welding without too much success. This is a great video and answers the questions I had about the foot pedal and how to successfully create an arc. I'll get out in the shop today and give it a

This was an excellent video! Thank you! I welded in high school (old cracker box, stick welding) this got me excited to Tig! Thank you for being well spoken also(not one word a kid can't hear) I will watch this again with my 13 yr old son.

I worked at Boeing Aerospace in El Segundo where they made satellites. On my lunch breaks I would go over to the fab shop and once I was dressed up in smock and booties beard cover and air blasted, I was able to go watch this guy weld on spacecraft. My company did dye pen NDT testing, and never found a flaw in this guys welds. So awesome to watch someone who is good at their job do it so well. It would look like the proverbial stack of dimes when he finished his bigger jobs. Loved that job, not the LA traffic though.

My grandfather passed a year ago and always wanted me to learn how to weld he had a tig welder in the the basement only used it once for a chair i might as well learn a new skill

[callumari]

Wow. Packed with information. You are a natural and gifted teacher sir.

[scouperful]

16 years ago I registered for a course in Tig welding at a local college in eastern Ontario. I'm LH and The booths were built for RH welders. I quickly became frustrated because getting personal help in an alien booth was impossible with a class of 15-17 ? I kept bumping my too long( nobody said anything about shortening) filler rod. newbies.There was general group instruction and theory in a central area of the shop away from the booths. I went to a handful of classes( long enough to disqualify a $500 refund. I previously welded with stick and wirefeed all position BC provincial certification and I really enjoyed welding and fabrication as a profession.
Your 21 minute video taught me far more than I learned in 5 of those frustrating classes.

Thanks for your simple but concise instruction . I think I would have been successful in a class with you as the instructor

Just discovered your account tonight and have to thank you! You seem to really break things down and explain them well. For someone who learns a ton from YouTube, finding accounts like yours is invaluable. Will be keeping up with future vids!

This is incredible information, I just lied on my resume so thank you for making this!!
