This is one of the best videos you have ever made. Simple and direct. Honest.

I am no welder and I do not weld often at all. But the manor with the care you took to create this video, FANTASTIC. Thank you for all of the easy to listen to information, and normal human interperations. This sort of info helps when I hire fabricators to be sure that the work they do is appropriate before the work is completed and I notice a problem after the fact. Keep up the great work.

I'm a visual learner, with memory issues & despite there being a ton of information in this vid I was totally locked in.
I LOVE that you give the reasoning on what you do, that is a huge plus for me as when I go to apply your teachings, I can work it out if I forget.

I apriciate how you straight up treated the viewers as beginners in this. No sugar coating anything, no massive info drops, and just great information. Thank you very much.

As a 25 year welder and The "GO TO" guy at work to weld anything, you are spot on. I had to learn all that you said through experience 20 years ago. I use helium at times (only ever on poured aluminum castings) and the sole purpose is as you said being skilled and it is used for that and that alone. Helium mix burns out poured aluminum castings impurities a lot better than 100% argon. Keep up your teachings as it only betters people to learn the proper way.

I have been welding over 30 years and these are the best videos I have ever seen, It is never to late to learn new tricks, You explain things in a simple way that beginners can understand. Keep up the good work.

You’re an amazing teacher and communicator. And it’s evident how much hard work has gone into these videos. This is a really impressive channel.

[deanbrown]

Never welded before. Just bought the new Miller ac/dc. Fascinated with tig welding. Trying something new at 68. Love your video. Watched a lot of other channels you by far are the best in explaining the process.

Justin!
I'm NOT a welder, not in "the business" at all...just a 49 year old hobbiest trying to learn a brand new skill that is exponentially a thousand times harder than I ever thought it could be!!!
First I need to say MUCH respect to you for your incredible skill at not only actually welding, but for your incredible skill as a TEACHER!!!!
I have learned more from your videos and simple, no bullsh*t method of "telling it like it is" (this video being case and point!!), than I ever thought I could, aside from enrolling in a welding school.
I'm turning 50 in January 2020, and the only gift I've asked my wife and kids for, is for them to send me to Vegas for a few days to be taught, hands on in person by you.... here's hoping they listen to the request.
Keep making the awesome videos, dude!
Hope to see you in January!
Regards,
Mike.

It seems obvious that you’ve done well working under the helmet and earning a decent living; it’s also obvious you’ve learned a ton along the way. I hope you are successful at replacing your income (and more) with a shift towards teaching as you have a real talent for it and have a lot to offer. Your audience will certainly benefit and you’ll likely never know the full “positive impact” you’ve had on an entire community. Keep up the good work Justin. Thank you.

Man! These videos just keep getting better and better. The information is nicely broken down with wonderful supporting graphics and just the right amount of humor to keep it light and interesting. Good work!

[christophermclaughlin]

Telling everyone right now, customer service for weld metals online is beyond great. The best by FAR

[StuartsShed]

Thank you for these first class tutorials. These are exactly what I was looking for - no nonsense, practical advice for the beginner, that cut out the mystery and home in on the critical elements. Can't wait to get back to the shop tomorrow and start practicing. I'm working through all your fundamentals videos. Great stuff.

[johndraper]

I have been a welder and Instructor for most of my life. Just want to say very well done. You have a good program that will help many welders.

[micjbaron]

Damn I’m a instant fan, talk about breaking it down and keeping it simple. Thanks for the videos!

[gregclaflin]

I HAVE BEEN WELDING FOR 40+ YEARS. MIG & STICK & OXY-ACET. I JUST BOUGHT A TIG MACHINE & KNEW NOTHING ABOUT TIG. I LIKE YOUR TEACHING STYLE! I WILL CONTINUE WATCHING YOUR VIDEO'S, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[glenellynrunner]

Well done! Thanks. Good production quality, good audio and good editing. (Something rare on YouTube).

[jimmylee]

One of the things I like most about your videos is your flat out honesty. No matter how many videos we watch, we're still just learning.

[philwetherington]

Fantastically good presentation. I never once stopped the video and say “duh, what’d he just say?” Thorough, complete and clear.

[DigitalVideoFromOz]

Your advice on sticking with standard consumables while you are learning basic TIG skills is priceless. I bought the fancy cups and gas lenses when I bought my welder a few months ago, but they are not being used until I have got the basics firmly in hand. I have not seen the advice to stick with standard consumables “Early on” anywhere else on YouTube. You are exactly right. Thanks for saving me, and others, from that pitfall.
