The FIRST 3 things to learn tig welding.

When I started to TIG weld 20 years ago, I didn't know any of this stuff, and I had nobody to teach it to me. These 3 things are some of the first things I go over with each of my students when getting them started with TIG welding, and I want you to know them too. Grab a coffee and let's hang.

I began gas welding back in the seventies, and proceeded to arc and ended up taking a course on tig in the nineties, opening a machine shop for a motorcycle business. Learning oxyacetylene first was valuable, and I just was teaching the son of friends of mine, to tig this past weekend, as he wanted to "learn to weld". He's been one of the fastest learners I've seen, and this video is a very accurate, to the point demonstration of the most salient points, I got good value out of it myself, at sixty five. Thanks, you do a good job hitting the niggling details.

I have been a welder for 45 years and Sill love it welders have changed a lot over the years and have noticed the newer machines make it a lot easier

Incredibly well done video, I’m in my second semester at TSTC in the welding program and we just started out TIG welding, basically every single one of the questions and worries I had about TIG welding were answered in this one video so I just had to leave a comment saying thanks cause this was very well taught and thought out and actually brings me excitement to continue my learning experience through TIG. Great video

Hands down, you have the best educational series I've ever seen. I'm still a beginner and after making progress for a while I seemed to stall out. At least I'm no longer dunking the electrode in the puddle every 5 minutes! After watching this particular episode it's clear that I need to return to these 3 basics things you pointed out. I hope you continue with these educational videos!

Love the forearm idea, i personally use a hand prop. 1" stainless pipe polished up really well makes for very smooth gliding. Also i wear a tig finger with a nice fiberglass hand pad that makes for a very smooth slide. Helps especially on really long welds. I made my prop out of scrap in like 3 minutes. Adjustable like 24" up and down, and the bar itself is about 18". Clamp it about anywhere, and sets you up for some major success. Really makes those 24-30" welds a breeze.

That said, theres nothing better than getting some serious hand stability practice in while kinda floating with your forearm resting. Def takes some practice but once you have it down, it comes in handy... can't always fit a prop near the weld.

Love the channel bruh!

The first two tips are precisely why I've struggled. This video is great. I think this video, and knowing machine set-up (stick out, gas flow, tungsten type, amp generalities) are enough to get someone practicing effectively

[rickschroeder]

I've been welding out of position for 27 years. I would agree with every tip in this video. Well done!

[BlaqRaq]

I think the most important point made is: seeing clearly.
Even all other parameters are off, if your vision is blocked for any reason, it takes a special person to continue and not mess up.
Very good video.

Being self taught in the late 50's, I wish I could have learned the rod feed technique. It's always held me back. I'm gonna practice this while watching TV.
NOW my biggest problem is tremors. What a physical woodpecker.

Thank You, I have done allot of training to get on top of TIG and I still struggle. My back ground is as a automotive panel beater and good with gas welding but TIG no so much. Your technics have made me improve so much as it now makes much more sense.

Other trainers just keep saying practice and practice and I get that but if they don't indicate where you are making mistakes it gets very frustrating. Now with watching your videos the frustration is way less as I now know what to watch for.

Thanks for the video! This is a great lesson. I haven't welded anything since 2008 but had a Miller Synchrowave at the time. The guy at the welding shop store, said to keep a ball at the end of the tungsten, start a pool, and orbit the torch and fill in low with the rod near the tip and keep everything moving. I got better through trial and error, but never "perfect". I'll keep this video in mind and practice these techniques when I get another welder. I have a few projects I'd like to use aluminum for.

The conformable thing is basically never something I have. I'm almost always welding around something big that can't be move to a conformable position. Amlost never a small thing on a table like what is in this video.

[themustangguy]

I have done wire feed and arc for many many years and want to learn Tig, I think your videos are very well said and make a lot of sense. I think I just might go buy myself a setup and start and of course keep watching these videos for great advice

[udntevenknow]

Ok I been welding 16 years and it's always been hot and fast and im not great but i know enough to get by, BUT the fill and chill thing you do totally helped me out. Never stop learning people

[jamesgravel]

That’s makes sense. Nobody ever taught me. I’ve just been going and as soon as I start I always forget everything I watch. But that kinda made thing’s alittle easier to understand. Good vid.

Tips on feeding the wire is exactly what I was looking for, thanks

[winkus]

For a person that never do any welding like me, this is the most informative videos.
Goes straight to my tutorial playlist

[noimagination]

Most Excellent video! I bookmarked this as my #1 place to start reviewing TIG welding key fundamental basics, because I don't weld often (hobbyist). So I am practically starting fresh every now and then. Thanks for the great info and tips.

Kia Ora, i been doing a welding course and have struggled with Tig thanks for a tip's
From Christchurch New Zealand 😊

[johnjabster]

I hold the rod the same way i am a master tig welder good video you def know what u are talking about. Comfortable is one of the most important things in welding.
