Stick Welding Tips for 6010 Open Root &7018 fill cap

6010 open butt root pass. Techniques learned on plate can be used on pipe. In this video I am dialing in settings and fit details like gap, land, and amperage used for 1/8" 6010 electrode. These details will also work on pipe. More pipe videos coming soon.

watched this video in the morning while eating breakfast and then went to trade school and did a 6010 open root on 3/8" plate with a 7018 fill (in position though, not vertical) and passed a bend test for the first time. came home and watched it again. thanks for making these Jody, they are super helpful even for people enrolled in a welding program.

I love how he always mentions getting that paycheck and feeding your family. This dude truly wants us to succeed. I've learned alot from him in my 3 years of watching him

I think it says a lot about what sort of man Jody is when he's interested in helping a weldor get the skills needed to get a good job and feed their family.

Been welding over 2 years almost got my red seal only like 3 more months of school left now and this is the only welding YouTube I watch. Anything I've needed a quick refresher or learning for the first time has been on here and saved alot of headache. Thanks for being the one good welding YouTube channel

As a sophomore in high school, I probably did this drill almost 50 times before my school could pass it. It definitely made pipe welding a lot faster to learn later on.

You're like the foreman I never had

Im around 15 years into serious full time welding, worked from structural iron worker, shipyard and a little in nuclear field. Have been watching jody for around 6 or 7 years, has helped tremendously through watching and his knowledge. Always watch him as a refresher before taking a weld test, and gives me that much more confidence to not forget the little details. Thanks a lot man! Always recomend your videos to everyone. Last company i worked at supplied the tig finger which im pretty sure was your invention! Works excellent!!

[kevinashby]

Your videos are about the best welding instruction I ever seen. Thanks.

I have a huge test for the union on the 27th of October. Your tricks on the 6G have helped me alot. If I pass my test, it's because I've learned so much more from your videos. Thank you for all your help.
P.S. my test will be on tig purge in the 6G position sch 80 2 inch carbon steel pipe.

Jody is such a blessing to all new welders!! I had to practice really hard and burn a lot of rod and use a lot of material before I found his videos; they were like icing on The cake! Thanks Jody

Jody,    Your welding videos are a staple in my weld classes. I am a weld instructor/Millwright for GM Skilled and non skilled trades department.  I find that using your videos gives me a better opportunity to teach rather then having them crowd around a booth trying to see what is vertually impossible to see when I am in the way!  I am a member of the Local 2209 UAW and the 798 Ironworkers union!  Thank you so much for all you do to promote good welding technical proceedure and just great information about welding knobs and buttons and gadgets in general... I Love watching what your going to do next!  Keep up the good work and God Bless!   Sincerely,   The Rat!

I found a welding tips and tricks T-shirt at goodwill the other day... wearing it right now as i watch this video to prepare me for my AWS test in school. thanks for the videos Jodi!

[mzjoseph]

Thank you for all this. I welded in the past, but I am a bit rusty. Watching you is helping to bring it all back. Please continue with these videos. They are very appreciated.

[markbarger]

As always...what an incredibly informative video! Terrific footage! Very thankful for your hard work putting these educational YouTube's on the web. Much appreciated Jody!

[extracomfy]

Thanks for the video man! I've been struggling with open root for the past few weeks, but your video helped me actually get it!

[Docko]

Thanks Jody, I am a current Tulsa Welding School student, and have been going through the phases and whatever I can't get from my instructors demos I can usually find on your channel. I am learning can't wait to get my first welding job.

[michaelwalling]

Awesome! Jody's videos are some of the best on You Tube. High energy and momentum. I really think amateur video makers should watch also.

Thanks Jody, I have been a fan and supporter for several years now. (looks like you have a new hairstyle!!)
You are absolutely right about the schedule 80 2" pipe, it separates the welders from the wannabees. It is currently kicking me all around the test stand.
I have real problems with keyhole.
I am in a new welding class, and, we actually get to use grinders.
My old instructer said grinders were out of the question; and, wouldnt let us even use a second 6010 for the root on the 3/8" we had to do the whole 8" in one shot perfectly.
I am still working on the plate cert, but had to move into pipe to keep up with the rest of the class. Your information, and Tig Finger are invaluable, Keep it up! Thank you.
