Uphill Welding 7018 Corner Joint

Subscribe to my channel for more weekly videos.

This video is about stick welding an uphill outside corner joint in 1/4" (6mm) thick hot rolled steel.
I initially intended to just show a single pass weld as compared to a 2 pass weld but I ran into a few wrinkles so I thought I would show all the good, bad, and yes ugly.

Thank you Jodi for teaching people how to do things right for showing people what to do. And all these videos Jody teachers from basic to intermediate welding

[bcbloc]

The technical cut and etch tests are the best!

[michaelcoyle]

Beginner welder I practice a lot of these joints and cross-sections and different techniques that Jodi teaches as long as I am keep myself within the parameters of what Jody is teaching I haven't had a weld fail yet. Thank you Jody

I've no doubt you could have kept going and perfected the technique and then shown only the perfected video, you chose to show us the warts and all progression, from which we learned a great deal more. Hats off to you sir, keep it up.

Hey Jody! Tig finger werks great! I wanted to wait for a while before I said something. I used it as a production welder for Frasier in Canada (Fracan) I don't recommend them. I didnt go to college for that! Anyway when you gotta pump out hundreds of pieces and they give you the odd piece that your stuck in a hot spot... It werks. All day!!

As always Jody, you are the best. Great arc shots of the weave/pause slightly on the uphill. With the new inverter machines I am back into stick welding more and more. Thanks for the excellent learning experience.

[BrassLock]

I really enjoy your demonstrations of stick welding, and details about stick-code and amps used. Thanks for the close-up photos and discussions.

Thanks Jody, always learning from you. My stick welding is so much better now and I can differentiate between good and bad welds now at work, God bless you sir for sharing your knowledge!

Love that saw. It's amazing how nice a cut that leaves and how quickly it cuts through 1/4". Another great video. I think as long as I keep practicing and watching I will be competent on welding. Already learned a ton about stick and Mig. Once I get those two fairly squared away I'm going to start on Tig.

I love your cut and etch tests. It definitely allows for more insight to exactly how different techniques perform. Once again excellent videos! Clear, concise, and to the point.

[spkrman]

These are so educational. thank you so much for the honesty and transparency.

Absolutely excellent info/video; the proof is in the testing. Thanks!

[MrThefatheroftheyear]

Superb. Another absolutely uniquely skilled, yet seemingly effortless demonstration. You sir are the very best there is! Please keep it coming friend and you’ll make a living out of this YouTube thing for sure! Amazing videos. Just simply amazing!

[SteadArcFab_Ministries]

Jody, man, what a quality learning video! Awesome. Thank you. Be blessed my friend!!

[idriwzrd]

Happy Independence day, Jody! Thanks for everything.

[TrinityMetalBuildings]

Loved this video. I really appreciate how you show us your imperfect pieces. Makes me feel like I can improve and get better as you did at the end of this video. Especially with vertical up with 7018. Thank you!!

[joshc]

Glad that you point out flaws and the good as well!

[ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣΓΑΛΑΙΟΣ-λθ]

You are a very good teacher, you have helped me a lot
With your advice.
Thank you and fight from GREECE

Hi Jody, first of all thank you for all your videos! As been a pleasure seeing and learning. For that undercut, going on a zigzag Point to point uphill, try to stop a bit more on the sides, working with the amps the same time. Have fun and all the best

Your right about the mill scale learned that in class never thought of removing it before and after removing it what a difference in the weld.
