Bob you are absolutely awesome at explaining why you do things. I have learned to trust the puddle and let the keyhole fill in on its own. Thank you.

Man, between you and Esab, it looks too easy. Another great vid Bob. 👍🏼

[michaelmaddams]

This was a brilliant video. Im on a student visa in Australia learning welding this was very helpful

[DazFab_Metalworks]

I just realised I'm not the only left-handed welder out there 😃

[MrAlive]

Love the bend test footage roll at the end. Wish more videos included bend test results. It's one thing to make a pretty weld, it's another to pass a bend

[juwancummings]

Needed this reminder lol, going back to school and haven't ran a bead in two months

[nachoaz]

Can't go wrong w/ run off tabs! I never run a test plate w/out them. Also, makes nice clean ends when welding long seam on a cylinder. Less chance of a defect/contaminated weld right on the ends where you may be joining another cylinder or a head.

Why not show the bob root, it is more important than the front side.
Or is it bad or is the root bad

[edwinuribe]

Thank you and I found a left handed welder

[cpo]

Wished you would've finished it. I wanted to see how you capped it

[skiptracer]

I don't know anything about welding but it looks good to me, especially the bend test

[nozu]

you know it’s crazy that i’ve been welding for a year and i completed this like 4 months ago now on pipe and there is people that still have trouble with this weld

[themilfologist]

[jeffers]

[roseironworks]

[WarInHD]

You always need to use run off tabs, they make life so much easier

[kodshot]
