Welding Distortion Tips for Keeping it Square

Heat from Welding can move metal around. And that is mostly due to shrinkage. But knowing that fact can help you do choose a weld sequence that helps the part come out straight.

It’s not just the quality of the welds or the depth of knowledge that impresses - it the generosity of the author. I think the community is grateful to you for all three.

I ran across this video and was so amazed to see someone doing exactly the same thing I did for a living for about 3 years. I learned a great deal about TIG welding 1 1/2 inch square stainless and TIG welding in general from my employer. He covered a great deal of the squaring and shrinkage issues in his instructions to me and I was very happy to learn these skills. I learned even more from this very informative video. I give you a perfect mark for showing accurate and very useful information. Excellent video ! !

Jody we do not have many choices on here, your channel is in depth that's why I like it, plus all your arc shots are pretty awesome.

[enriquecarmona]

Awesome, this is why I'm in school, and these super high quality videos are what puts this channel far, far above almost all the other ones. Jody has this stuff down straight. The editing is superb and sound quality is crystal clear. Thank you again Jody. Jim

jody you are being humble about the choices ( maybe 2 or 3 channels where you can sometimes pick up something). i`ve been here for some years and i`m always learning something new. i watch and practice practice practice.so much respect for a man that helps others earn a living. regards. pete

There are certain individuals who have the ability to teach by showing as well as explaining a very intricate process.
I have relied on your tutorial and enjoyed your teachings to improve my own abilities in a trade I absolutely love so thank you for that!!!..

I've looked at many channels, but this channel and your presentation skills Jody, make it my go-to channel and the one I recommend the most... great work, and many thanks for the ongoing education you're providing me.

[Islandbiker]

Yes sir i might have alot of other choices of channels to watch but why? Yours s simply the best. Most informative. You talk and explain everything slowly so us rookies can watch and actually retain the info you give us. Plus your personality makes people feel comfortable learning. Honestly most other peoples channels are usual with an arrogant know it all teacher. Thank you for your time and effort sir. Youve really helped me in my welding. Ive built literally ever item on my jeep wangler because of you and your knowledge. I would never be able to afford to buy them otherwise and im very proud of it. Again thank you sir

I know this is an old video, but I would like to thank you for putting this up, Jody. I'm just starting out and your videos have been incredibly helpful. Thanks!

[calebmcanulty]

Thanks again Jody, with all due professionalism and respect to all parties, Mr.Tig is at the bottom of the totem pole here, a true professional at omitting facts as opposed to tried and true methods guys like you practice. thanks again for not bullshitting me

[jessiehoffman]

Man these videos are going to help a a TON when i get to school at the end of the month. i really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

[billdlv]
