Excellent lesson. I went to welding school more than 40 years ago (before You Tube). Your teaching is better, much better. Thanks for posting.

This video was really helpful. Thank you! Please don't stop making them. These videos have helped me more than the instructor.

I like how you explain things very thoroughly. That was an issue for me when I was son welding school my instructor assumed we knew more than we actually did and no one wanted to ask questions and disappoint

Abe, you are the reason I subscribed to this channel. What an awesome instructor you are!!! God bless you.

Hands down this is some of the best detailed teaching instructions

I have been hearing about whip and pause for 6 yrs. It never made since it me until you explained it. No one ever said to short arc it at the pause to facilitate the puddle to cool. You are a beast!!

There are many great videos on roots pass welding but your video Abe is by far the best one, in my opinion. Very well explained and demonstrated. Thank you very much for this, I've been having problems with by root welding on pipe and I know this will help. Respect mate.

Thank you for the video! It was very descriptive and I appreciate you explaining how to manage the heat by choking the rod.

Best explanation on whip and pause, thank you!!!!

Thank you very much for this informative video! I'm currently finishing horizontal smaw and was very inconsistent and not confident with the 6010. After watching this video I went from worrying about failing cause I couldn't get consistent penetration on an open root pass to successfully doing 2 good root passes on my practice and actual test plates which is most of the grade. I was able to successfully complete them on the last day of class and my grade jumped from failing to an A. You have a gift for teaching. Thanks again!

I'm loving the very clear explanation.

Awesome explanation of how to whip and pause! I never knew that you were supposed to push in a little at the front of the keyhole. The reinforcement on the back side looked Gonna have to try that!

[joshuaancaya]

This video helped me so much last class I would always get crazy key holes. But now its so much easier to maintain.

[DavidTheCarpenter]

Describing the feel and pressure in the rod is what makes your videos better than most!

[avissmith]

Omg bro you literally saved my pipe welding career I’ve watched plenty of videos but yours is by far the best ‼️‼️‼️

[dodikirwantono]

It is very clear explanation. The best teacher I have ever seen. Thanks a lot for the tutorial. God bless you

[tsali]

Thanks. This really helped me out. I started at 60 amps with 1/8 rod. Moved up a few aps at a time until I was at 75. I am much more consistent with my root. Completing passes much faster without stopping for too much heat... Thanks again....

Your explanation on your technique for the process you prefer, the best advice I've seen! No doubts about it bro, you can punch through the thickest of numbskulls with your delivery of the information!
It's a good technique to learn, but that delivery made this video one of the best out there! You just set the bar...

[JeffAboularage]

I like how you explained that. And I really like that method. It makes sense!

[andrewmcg]

"So pretty much I whip it" alright boss that's all I need!
