5 Tools You Didn't Know to Use For TIG Welding.

These Tig Welding Tools are definitely not going to be ones that you've typically heard about before. A couple of them may be no brainers, but some of these are things that I NEVER would have been told about if I hadn't found them myself.

Never seen anyone show how to take care of yourself as a welder, thank you .

Old geezer here. Been welding since '84. Pro tip: put some baby powder between the wood block & table, the block will slide like it's on ice so you can stretch that weld out without having to stop the weld and reposition. Works for cutting with a torch too. Learned that from the old guys at Locheed many many moons ago.

This channel really should be more popular. Always has good tips for welders of all experience levels.

Love it when you mentioned the wood blocks / scap material! At my current job i got asked if i would be able to tig weld certain stainless steel things so it would cut costs abit.. I told them i'd be able to so they asked me to order a good tig machine etc.. They then questioned me why on earth i ordered some aluminum blocks since i was going to weld stainless.. I explained to them, it's a 2 way fuctional piece of material, heat absorption and raising up the workpiece abit haha.. After a while they asked me if i would want to weld more of the stainless things we usually have done by another company since my welds not only looked better, they also had more strength to the crucial parts, i immediately told them i'd agree to do so if they would compensate me for my 'skills' and their cost cut. They didn't even hesitate since i was saving them more than double of what i asked for to get extra in salary hahaha

I never fail to learn something really important from each of your videos. This video, though, is packed with important tips that no-one else tells you about. Thanks, Dusty.

for muscle fatigue, i have found that a hot epsom salt bath after a long shift really helps. also, before i start work, i spend 10 minutes doing a stretching routine. This combination truly helps and allows me, at 40, to work circles around these kids in their 20s.

Taking care of this body that carries you from job to job makes a lot of sense. Have you done a video on aging eyes, that is my greatest problem welding at 74 years old. I appreciate how many tips you have provided me that improve my welding hobby.

Thank you so much for sharing the experience and giving so important advice!

Being from a tattoo-community, where wrists get injured with time and workers stumble on CTS or "carpal tunnel syndrome" (which, in fact, is known to office workers too) due to (vibration, which is not the case with welding) constant grip on tattoo-machine (compare with the tig burner) + wrist flexion I should definitely recommend training on a regular basis with an "NSD power ball" - that would assist .

Always good information Dusty. Thanks for your input in these areas. I have only been welding for about four years now and I can agree with everything you're saying. As I am 64 years old and it is so important to maintain and elevate your health if possible.
Great job as always.

Hey dusty thank for the help I use a camera stand for high welding its great and it has great adjustment

I was a machinist / sometime welder for 40 years. I was guilty of most every bad practice you mentioned with predictable results. Ended up retiring at 62 due to severe sciatica. (among other things) In my latter working years I tried to tell young punks (like I was) these kind of things. THEY NEVER LISTEN.
(just like me) I fear it's a hopeless case, but don't give up the fight, if one out of a thousand pays attention it will be worth it.

Use a conical battery terminal cleaning brush to get the inside of the gas cups clean! Works great on mig gas cups too!

Another thing that can help your neck and back is using a helmet that is balanced. I think esab and 3M make balanced helmets. They're too expensive for me but if I could get one I would. I've been looking in to ways to modify my regular helmet so that the pivot point is more balanced. Currently I'm thinking I will move the pivot point then design and 3D print new headgear to get everything perfect. It's an experiment. Honestly OSHA should have mandated better helmet designs decades ago. My dad was an industrial hygienist and was constantly designing things to help welders, pipe fitters, and the like.

Thanks for the golf ball tip. I would have never thought of that.

[ЯрославНехай-яю]

Whaaaat? Almost 42 YEARS OLD??? Damn man you look cool

[AXNJXN]

Nothing, absolutely NOTHING but rock solid advice here!

You are the man James thanks for all the tips

I have done a little O/A welding and brazing (remember O/A?) I use a couple of fire bricks to keep the welding table from absorbing heat from the work piece. Fire bricks are those cinder block-like things used to line a wood stove or fireplace. Very light weight too. And of course they don't catch on fire. Should certainly work for TIG welding as well although you'll need to figure out a way to place your ground. Y'all are smart enough to do that, right? They're dirt cheap at about any place that sells wood stoves and inserts. Also available in a six pack for about $28 (US) at the Great Big Orange Home Improvement Box Store at this writing. Thanks for these vids Dusty!

Lemon pledge = my new brake clean.
Checked the MSDS and it has some really good properties for protecting your metals
