Hey bro your videos are the best I don’t have no welding knowledge never done it anywhere not at home or on the job but I’m a carpenter in the union and I see that nobody in my trade have the D1.1or the d1.5 CERT I joined my welding class that is offered to us for free since we are in the union and I took a two week class before with light gauge for D1.3 and I passed it was a two week course and I passed my fifth day so I started practicing on my 7018 because the previous test was 6013 started doing 7018 structural for the last week didn’t complete anything and then I took a five week class on Saturdays and I was able to obtain my D1.1 certification by watching your videos you put out some real knowledge and wanted to say thank you for that

Wow. Great job illustrating a 3G side bend prep, weld and test. I take my helmet off to you.
Keep up the great content. I’m at the end of my welding days but never give up on learning and perfecting my craft.
Thanks for the video.
Cheers!
Whipple

I've never touched a welder in my life but I'm a pretty skilled guy having worked in other trades over the years and after watching your incredibly helpful, informative and well made videos, you guys make it look easy! I'm pretty sure I could go out and pick up a welder and....make an absolute fool out of myself. Seriously though it's a skill I'm looking forward to picking up in the future and I'm glad your videos are around for great reference and instruction.

I'm 3 months in at job corps' welding program and i feel called out by the statement, "it's a weld test not a grinding test."

6:30 might be the best view of stick welding I've ever seen. To see both an expanded view and close up just captures the speed at which you're going perfect. It's always difficult to see the speed on closeup shots only.

I love watching an artist. Welders are underpaid, considering the great talent they display in their work.

[Ron-dsob]

Damn Red, I wish I had your skills. I've been a back yard welder for over 35 years, and none of mine ever look as good as your bad welds. Granted there are times I go a year between welds, but, I don't have enough time in the day to practice, practice, practice.

[lesterdudley]

This was a great, long and informative video with lots of great tidbits of pointers sprinkled throughout it. You guys are great! Thank you

[mrpaint]

Never time to do it right, but always time to do it again.

*grabs popcorn* I’m ready for this show

[getphuked]

FINALLY!
A video that shows me HOW YOU ARE WORKING THE ROD.

Nice welds!
I'd encourage welders to also qualify using NR232/233 wire as flux core welders are in high demand for the structural field.
Pressing my luck, I've filled the 1" test plates in 4 passes using NR232 x.072" wire!!
The deposition rates with FC can be up to 5x what we can get w/stick welding...hence the demand for FC welders!

I was practicing for this and I ran into Arc blow for the first time. I had never ran into it and actually never even heard of it. Good thing it was practice.

[eevvaann]

I did this test when I was taking classes and I failed it because of small slag inclusions. CLEAN YOUR SLAG! XD

[jojorumbles]

I remember doing this test in weld school. I absolutely loved doing verticals and this was a treat to test on.

[Cod-Convict]

I just did a practice test and I do the real test this Tuesday and I can grind it’s a 1inch d1.1 but I ran mine just like this and it worked great for both 3g and 4g I ran the 3 at 117 and the 4 at 123 and it was great I didn’t need to grind at all I was allowed to but didn’t need it so thanks this video helped a lot and I’m going into this test Tuesday really confident because the practice was ran just like a real test so thank you

[jasonschagt]

Awesome video. Wish you were still on here

[svtjoshth]

Thanks for the video just passed my d1.1!!!!your video helped me out a lot

[phendrix]

As an inspector; I appreciate the slag advice. When I start hearing comments like “ I’ll just burn it out” it makes me wonder about any other shortcuts they’re taking. It can really change the dynamic between the welder and the inspector in a negative way.
