How to stick weld 👨🏻‍🏭: Intro to Arc welding for beginners, (Series Part 1)

In this episode I cover the first part of learning how to stick weld. Rod angle, how to start the arc, how to properly stop a weld, and a lot of other theory is covered. In future videos I will cover more about machine selection and advanced features some stick welders have.

Viewer o.t112 mentioned the hand held weld calculator I have in this video can be found on millers site and on a app for your phone. Check it out for a bit of help 👍.

I like that you don't promote having the latest and greatest equipment, run what we can afford. No "clickbait" BS titles! Keep it real, you're doing great, and I for one appreciate YOU!

I took a welding class years ago, this was a great refresher. Thanks man

Sir Greg, started a welding apprenticeship in my village, they don’t do more than stick welds and with very little theoretical explanations. Thank you very much for providing this opportunity. I pray you keep dropping these gems.

A few minutes into this video I stopped and subscribed. You are a great teacher and the many comments speak to that fact. Like so many others, I have watched several "New to stick welding" vids to build my knowledge base. Your presentation is very complete and I'll be sharing your channel with others. The fun begins!

When I was in VOCED welding in 1975, we did nothing but ARC and Oxyacetylene. I did some pieces that remained in the showcase for 25 years

[Whatsahandle]

Good info. I'm going to start practicing running beads while things get slow. We're doing structural steel
