Hey austin I'm 13 just learning to weld and watch you a lot for tips. I am addicted to welding and hope to learn all that I can. I am a 4th generation welder so it's in my blood.

Austin. I loved your Gratitude comment. Thank you. I was reminded of a sermon I preached about David and Goliath. After the sermon a fellow who was visiting shared with a friend of his about the battles he fights in his life. He bent to the ground and picked up a smooth stone. Put it in his pocket and every time he felt tempted, he would take it out and just toss it a little in the air and catch it. knowing he now has the focus to win his battles. It was so touching I did the same. I carried a stone in my pocket just to remind me of that great battle and how I have what I need. just put a smile on my face. I think the Gratitude brass in our pockett is a wonderful idea. I have been a welder and pastor now for forty years and will begin to go on my own the first of the year. I am near seventy years old and still feel very young. Yes I am grateful and very blessed. I learn great tips from your videos. Thank you for sharing and keeping them with so much quality. I will visit your store soon. Oh and by the way, I am from a small town close to Yorktown Virginia.

Just wanted to say I like your positive and humble attitude. The world seems too short of that these days so it's wonderful to hear / see.

I’ve been welding for a little over 10 years and there is still not a video that you release that I don’t learn something from !! Thank you for the excellent content 🤙 Also the videos are edited, exceptionally well, which makes the viewing experience all that much better.

Mr. Ross I have been a pipefitter for 24 years, I love your videos especially pipe fence videos. Your video on torch cutting was good, but for the apprentice I would show more about your hand placement, arm, and body position. This would aide in them staying comfortable especially in a position. I remember learning I used to cook my gloves. Love ur videos. Rusty

At 3:30 of this video, THE SOUND, I am 71 years old and I have only heard that sound from my best friend and mentor in 1981. He was 20 years older than me, I lost him about 7 years ago. ANYWAY!!! YOU ARE RIGHT ON WITH THE CLEAN TIP!!!
At 5:13 it is hard to tell but "I think" you are to close to the work. I would hold the tip about 1/2" above your work.
The Victor 300 series is "in my opinion" the very best torch that has ever been produced (period)! Les, my mentor had the 100 series.
When you pierced the half inch plate you showed me something I have never seen before. That is to raise the torch to keep the tip more clean. That is a GREAT tip.
I wish you and I could get together and share some WAR stories. I have followed your channel for about two months or so.
Have a GREAT day and looking forward to your next video.

thanks man. i enjoyed the message at the end. I'm 53 years old and I have to learn how to weld in order to top out at my job. I'm starting from scratch. I appreciate your videos.

[cameronjacobs]

I've been a welder fabricator / ironworker for about 20 years & I get good tips from your videos, I try to keep a open mind and learn everyday. Thanks

[weldingclassroom]

43 years in the welding industry for me and still learning. Thanks for sharing your experience. Clean tip it's the truth.
Gotta say the " moisture coming out" is not coming from the steel... Its from the flame.

[artillerestrdva]

what a clean cut. and steady on the line! I have done oxy /ace welding to day was the first day cutting!
now thanks to you I know how to properly set up the cutting torch ! ! but I got it done frozen nuts
on the tourchen bar links on my honda! bad part was alen wrench to hold the screw, and 14-mm
nut. tried penetrating oil, with no effect! and the dealer wanted $900 for the job. it only cost me
$30.00 purchase of O.E.M. parts. ( get original made parts not chinese ones, no quality control.)
and my time. live in the “rust belt” it has the nasty rust!

I'm taking a welding class and we're using a cutting torch for the first time so I've been trying to watch as much on it as I can I found this video to be helpful but then there was the advice at the end which was literally something that no one asked for but virtually anyone could use beautiful thank you

[markllev]

I like this video. Most fabricators do not even know how to use a cutting torch now days. I would be lost without it! I remember as a kid, an older gentleman that worked for a company by the name of Liftall Forklift. He could cut through what I remember was 4" thick steel. It was so amazing and awesome, that I would put it up against anything CNC done today.

My Dad worked the offshore rigs in Prudhoe Bay forever when I was growin up in the eighties and nineties, did a lot of welding and then did a lot of it in his free time at home on his off hitches and I never took an interest until about ten years ago and he has such a gruff attitude that by then he didn't want to show me a thing. I've been self teaching and aside from readin I like to utilize YouTube for not just welding but everything technical in general and it's been that way for a number of years now. All of that is to say that you're one of the best welders I've seen and you have an awesome channel here, you carry good humor and a top notch bedside manner, thank you so kindly for sharing your valuable time with all of us, it's much appreciated Sir, take care.

[jerryblack]

Thanks so much you are a great down to earth teacher/spokesperson!!

[robertfishback]

thank you for you video. I have been using a torch for 50 years as a uneducated person. I am going to study with your school because I should have blown up my shop years ago just from ignorance. thank you again. I am off to the welding supply to get some things I need to replace 30 years ago. You probable saved a Hugh accident from happening.--Bob

[johnhuizar]

Amen Brother, it’s easy to let life’s struggles get you down or use it as an excuse for our failure. Gratitude for our blessings and remembering we are not OWED anything helps us work harder each day to earn that which we deserve. Keep up the great work!

[joshualewis]

Your videos are Soo informative!! I have learned so much from you and we've never met !! God bless you and your family!! And keep all that good content coming

[olddawgdreaming]

Thanks for the words of wisdom Austin. Enjoyed the helpful tip on the cutting torch. Always enjoy your videos. Stay safe and have fun too. Fred.

[misfitfarm]

Your comments will get most people further than any lesson. It will make people stuck in life take the next step to “Learn something new everyday” Thank you, sir.

[analogueoverdigital]

Love your videos. Stick welding is NOT easy, and i laugh when people say they can do it no problem. Finally laid down a decent bead with a 7018 on a half inch plate.. took me 3 hours😂
