This guy makes all other welding Yutubers look like fakes. He comes across as genuine and caring.

just in time! that pro tip when doing the fill & cap with 7018 is exactly what we are facing, our instructor told us that we should always point our rod at the center of the pipe, but as we do that the bottom weld with the 7018 always sags, no matter how fast we do our travel, thanks for that!

Thank you for showing the finished weld. There are those on here that like to talk about how to do it but never show a close up on the work when it’s done. Nice job welding and nice job on the video.

Two years ago until now, and whenever I come across this video and I enjoy watching it, you are always brilliant. Thank you for this wonderful effort

I am a welder. I studied for 3 years. But through your channel I learned a lot more than I studied in that period.

ISO 9606-1 weld tests allow the use of a grinder on the root string only. I don't know how it works job to job but the International test allows the grinder regardless of what the tester says. Know your rights guys, it can make a difference.
Some great tips as usual Jody, they make the videos very rewatchable (depending on where a fella is on the learning curve)...and Andrew is a Jedi level pipe welder. Thank you.

I welded miles and miles of pipeline back when I was a youngster.


One job I was on in New Mexico I burned probably several tons of rod . We were welding a pipe that was 90 feet across and 3 inches thick. It was a mine shaft that went 600 feet into the ground. Quite an interesting job that was. Most of the welders were burning 1/8 rod and would take 12 hours or more to do an 8 foot section. I would burn 1/4 inch rod and do 4 - 8 foot sections in my 12 hour shift. All the welders hated me but the boss paid me 4 times what he paid the other welders. So I didn't care what they thought. We were getting paid by the hour but I knew the man that had the contract and he took good care of me. Fun, fun,

I definitely enjoy you're videos more then those other channels tbh. Great stuff.
