I’m in 798 actually working along side your old helper Sam your really good t explaining things it helps out quite but for guys still trying to master the trade thanks again

[MRTYREMULISHA]

Good you touched on the speed of the process and not to rush it while your learning.
I see to many people these days wanting to be fast and good all at once
Concentrate on the details and the speed will come naturally!
Another nice video Guys and Gals

[davidanglin]

That was really a cool video to watch. Very informative even though I don't weld. I still appreciate your hard work and work ethic.

[JulianShepp-cy]

Starting as a helper next week excited but also neevous. More exciting cause i get to learn new things!

[stevenenrique]

Just wanted to say Austin ... dude I’ve been watching your videos for maybe two years or more man. Might be less but I’m not sure. But I am sure of this bro. Once I got into asme tank production /welding helping thanks to you and your videos I stood out in a positive way. Just wanted to say thank you bubba. I’ve been tuning in from California. I kick ass because of you.

[wadewittman]

Another great tutorial Austin! Thank you very much.

[macneill]

Great video. I really enjoy seeing the different techniques you guys use down in the states.

[cguley]

Thank you so much for this video! I was just about to try to find a tutorial on this and then i saw it in my recommended.

[topsixmotorsports]

I am working toward getting my cert very soon and maybe hoping that you can do a how you like to do you root pass. I love the your videos and really have helped me out! Keep you the great work!

[chaser]

I’ve been in pipefitters union under a month. Started as welder helper yesterday out from firewatch. This helped me huge. So the old timers aren’t yelling at me 😆

[cheffsolo]

Can you do a video of you putting root, and hot pass then cap it

[smileymongo]

The editing of the video was amazing 👍🏽

[donjohnson]

Thanks Austin ✌👊😎
Always helpful Bro!!!

[pipeline_hank]

Oooohhh he jumped outside the bevel! 4:16 at least im not the only one who does that lol

[PacoGP]

I want to see how you set up your 12” but welds in your garage that’s a cool set up

[ronfussell]

Hey Austin, a bad helper with a grinder can be like an STD!Wether they like it or not I give a grinder 101, again, that's part of the 6010, faint tracks will burn out, if they don't know they can hollow out your bead and the nightmare begins, I always told them it wasn't my ass on the line, but my groceries and I like to eat, so do it my way.Great explanation, once their good enough to ask what you want, that's nice.

[darcypatterson]

Where can i get some 250 wall pipe to practice on and how much does it cost thanks keep the videos coming they are great

[nicholash]

As a beginner, I am completely lost as to why you would want to grind a weld bead. It seems to me that it would weaken the weld after removing so much material. Probably I missed the point of this, but I think an explanation of why you would even want to grind a bead would be a good start of this video.

[SMILEYBOMB]

Austin, if I wanted to get started on the Pipeline, would you recommend starting going through the 798 Union?

[patrickfarley]

Would that big long "scatch" from the cutting disc near the first "wagon track" you mentioned be a problem out in the field? I don't recall seeing marks like that in any "how to" welding videos I've seen. I don't do pipe welding so that is why I am asking. This is a legit question, I would like to know hat the parameters are for when "life isn't perfect" and something has to be addressed ie. bad material, mistakes or damages in handling, etc. Thanks man! Really enjoying you videos. Peace!
