Stick Welding/SMAW Running a 7018 3/16” rod at 235 amps

On top of that, it left the perfect amount to weld a perfect cover pass. I've been a welder/fabricator for 32yrs and I would have no problem with this technique! Well done my friend.

Finally, some more informative welding videos. Before nobody would show you how to do it like it’s some kind of secret.

Yessir this channel is the legit acadamy

[willielongbotham]

Fact is as the man says " If the WPS allows it then it is acceptable"
I watch a lot of these videos and the comments, rarely if ever is WPS mentioned, or downhand (stoving), preheat, interpass temp, etc,
This leads me to believe that there are not many top professional welders commenting.

I’m not a welder but I can appreciate that welding technique and the skill that goes into this . Guys welding is top ten most important professions in the world, be proud of what you do!

I am enrolled in Lincoln Tech right now and soon we will going into pipe welding, thanks for the lesson

If the center is thinner then it doesn't need as much heat as the sides. Approved 👍

Walking the rod now that’s a term I have not heard in a long time nice Job.

Been walking the rod for years. In my line of work if I say it's allowed it's allowed lol

I wanted to become a better welder. It's not what I do for a living so I bought a bunch of pipe coupons. It definitely helped me learn to weld out of position if I only get to set the pipe in one position but I have trouble with running stringers for my cap instead of a weave.

[drewgoody]

that's a legit weld and welder right there

[samhayden]

That man is one of the best for sure!!

[josephsanchez]

My part of country you would be called maestro. "Master teacher "

[MichaelNichols-rm]

That’s how I learned how to weld coming up in commercial jobs.

[dresser]

I haven't stick welded in 35 years lots of Mig and Heli since then I wonder if I remember how lol

[JoeySavage]

Only best welder's know this shout out Newport news shipbuilding my first ever job top welder's all stick mig sometimes

[scottfenton]

Great job looks great to me keep up the great work!

[robertremalia]

Nice weld I’ve gotten too used to using the Mig so lately, I’ve been using my stick welder a lot more just to stay in good practice

[lingslinger]

Perfecto ! I like to run a quick 5/32 6010 hot pass about 160amps. Then flush it out with 3/16” 7018 at around 240, just below flush then hit it with 1/4” 7018 at around 295 amps for that cap.

Totally agree I’m in school rn tig welding at 130 amps looking amazing and my teacher wants me to weld free hand at 80 amps
