Amazing overhead root pass & trick also

[chrisplayz]

Thanks for the videos m8 super helpful, quick question... If that were a stainless pipe would you still lay wire or dip? I'm decent at mild steel pipe but never seem to be able to get enough build up in with my stainless pipe. Cheers bro

[piotrreczko]

great video, but I have a question for You: how would You do root it in this position for example, on superduplex steel? You would use dipping technique?

[saucylemon]

Hey bro, I've been laying lots of stainless beads this past year, I'm getting pretty good. But, I'm trying these last few days to get a beautiful blue on the welds, like in the weld porn videos. I saw you did it in one of your vids about a year ago. Can you get that blue consistently? I know that it's just an oxide layer and yes you're going to clean it off anyway. But it's just that wow factor you know. Lets say for example a schedule 40 4" stainless pipe. How would you go about getting that lovely blue? Or if you know any videos of anyone that knows how to that'd be perfect.
I love your videos and I've learnt so much from them so thank you

[Jacoby]

Just started my Tig class doing 2G open Route due to my positioning in my set up I had to do a lot of start and stops. Does it matter or do you want to do as little as possible?

[leodelacruz]

[alvinjoy]

[kojoasaretandoh]

How do you stop from slipping! I keep slipping on the bottom!

[merkwey]

Hey whatsup bro, I just got a question, Im currently a pipe welder rn at a refinery in america and im american, but next year Ill be abroad in Germany and Korea, Is it possible to work as a pipe welder in those countries from your knowledge? Most people in my job only work in U.S and usually from what I gather those abroad jobs are just recommended in or friend of friend type thing. And Im sure each country has their own standards of welding and Its pretty hard to find any knowledge about this specifically.
