Jody is a walking, living, breathing encyclopedia of immense weld knowledge and skill! One of my favorite weld experts to watch.

I started Welding in 2018 at a food production facility.
I picked it up pretty quickly (luckily I had some old heads to teach me the tricks to doing repair welds on the production floor on dirty old joints in hard to reach places having to weld in weird positions)
I became very passionate about the craft, it was all I could think about all the time. I found this channel and watched a couple of hours worth of Jody's videos just about every single day of the week.
Fast forward to today, I work at a different food facility and my boss compliments me on my welds all the time, people comment on how much knowledge I have of the metallurgy and technical things about backing, purging, dissimilar metal welds etc.

I'd just like to thank you, your videos have gotten me to the point where I have more than TRIPLED my income and furthered my love for the craft.

This is proof that if technology is ruining the youth, it is only the fault of the youth. There is an endless amount of knowledge on the internet, whether you choose to learn it is entirely up to you.

You guys call it sugaring, here in New Zealand we call it "cauliflower" and if you're in the dairy industry you'll be looking for a new job real quick.
Thanks for these videos, you're a real one. I bought one of your tig fingers years ago, maybe 8 years? Still going strong and have saved a fortune on toasted gloves. I couldn't do handrail work without it. The first thing I do with every young apprentice is send them to this channel.

You're just such a fantastic resource, Jody! Thank you for the knowledge, time and effort you put into these videos.

Jody I had a really good instructor in school but your vids have really added a lot of depth and wisdom into the base knowledge that made me go from total greenhorn to extremely competent in a very short amount of time. Thank you for your work

I'm currently taking a TIG course at a local college, and I have to say, your videos have put me ahead of the rest of the class!! Much appreciated and guaranteed that I'll be buying your merch. Especially the TIG finger!

I've been subscribing to your channel for a while and appreciate the contents. I'm trying to learn how to TIG and your videos are great.

I took welding classes at a local tech school to broaden my skillset so I could offer more services and do more inhouse repairs /fabrication from my small, independent repair shop. My instructor was an older gentleman who had done it all including having his own successful welding business. His nickname was "The Kid", because he was that good. He even had that airbrushed on his helmet. You, sir, are nothing short of The Kid, Jr. Thank you for all your time and effort to make these amazing videos and for sharing invaluable information. I use no other source for improving my welding skills. FYI, I have both sizes of your TIG fingers.

This is the Best stainless tig welding video on the internet in my honest opinion

This is excellent timing. I'm in the middle of switching jobs and these stainless reminders are great. There will be stainless repairs at the new job. :)

As always never a wasted moment spent watching your channel Jody. Good stuff brother!!!

[dr.feelgood]

my first welding job, was in fact TIG "fusion welding" we called it where i worked (we built sanitary plate heat exchangers). I used a purged hand operated turntable. one piece of stainless tubing ( probably 304) and a triclamp ferrule on one or both ends. there was a purge hole in the middle of the turntable where the gas goes in, and we put a plate with a hole on top of the pieces with tape over it, and poked a pin hole, and purged with about 12-15 cfh. one hand turns the table and the other hand holding the torch. it's cool to see a nice clean flat weld inside afterwards, but then we polished it out, so you'd never even know. on the subject of backing material to fill holes, i've found copper to be more suited to high amps (150A+), as it seems like aluminum sticks a bit more, and when you break it off it can take chunks of aluminum with it.

i learned welding from this channel and started practicing, now i am SMAW GMAW and GTAW welder. ❤️ love from India.

[radum]

I am amazed how a channel containing such great content is so underrated. So few views for videos containing such fine information. :(

[countryracer]

Used my tig finger last night while mig welding. Doing a sequence that made areas hot and I didn't want to wait!

[GoBrokeOffroad]

Been watching a lot of your videos while I wait for my new welder to show up. I just wanted to tell you, I already bought both Tig fingers. Lol. Thanks for the Informative videos sir.

[gmarcins]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. I am a self taught welder (that's me being generous about my skills), and your videos do help a lot!

[AWDJRforYouTube]

Great job on stainless welding Jody, I commend you "autogenously" and sincerely!🤣

Top video. I wondered for years how to get the colored welds. I changed to big cup gas lenses and it made the difference. A good video would be welding up heavy cast cylinder heads and castings. I can do it with added Helium but I saw a pro do it once and he did a five second preheat and used what I think was a number 5 relatively small cup and did a brilliant flowing weld on a heavy cast head with just argon. His puddle started so quick, I couldnt work out why it seemed so easy for him to get a clean deep penetrating weld and for me a PIA just to get anything clean on cast and my puddle takes a while to start.

Spring steel ( 5160 for example ) to mild steel, tig and mig welding would be a video I would like to see.
Possible/proper filler metals, preheating, post heating etc... Not sure how many other viewers are interested.
