This guy slowly making me into a great welder.

Thanks bro !

[MrAlive]

This is THE BEST info I've seen in a while. The best welders are repair welders; the ones who learn from mistakes. Good stuff 👏

Best advice for preparing for 6G test!!!

Nice bro I learned these techniques in the field as well and this information is priceless I was taught when I didn’t know and I’m a better welder for it so I pass it along to others who need it as well. I appreciate welders like yourself willing to share their skills, but in the end that’s what it’s all about making each other better 👊🏻 excellent

[davehughes]

Thanks, with very few exceptions yours is one of the few videos that shows how to correct these weld faults. Going to the hall tomorrow to practice these techniques. Thanks again.

This is the real deal of a welding channel, teaching the proper hints and tips that really do save your ass when it comes to passing X-ray!!!!

That was fine! The part at 6:21 "don't use the grinder" really cracked me up. I watched that segment several times already, that's something that comes up a lot. This is super valuable advice, how to not panic when things aren't working right.... For me this is pretty advanced information. You know you're at the right place when you run into Bob Moffatt!
