Super glad you added weld symbols into this video! I'm a current student at a trade school and it's super helpful to get a weld symbol to explain what we look at as "simple" welds. I'd give you an but, Bob wasn't around, so you get a

Thank you so much for posting this. My class is so "streamlined" that there's little to no one on one instruction available and no demonstration. Videos like these are so essential to passing.

[choneysett]

Can you do a video showing cutting off the backing strip and grinding and bend testing the weld?

[mmfan]

Good info and you do a detailed explanation which really helps. No one is perfect so ignore the negative comments. The world is full of know-it-alls.

You guys are great. Lots of useful information to help us to become better craftsmen. Thanks for your time and efforts.

This video is very helpful…thank you for posting it. I’m trying to learn how to weld 🙏

[supersonicsam]

Thank you for the great video love the weld symbols and the clear instruction of Red Beard send regards to Bob we miss him.

Great video. I wish I could have seen body positioning while running the beads

[jeremiahhebner]

Thanks for all the info. I'm taking classes for my Tech Cert and any extra while out of class is just knowledge in the bank.

[JRsVsO]

Great video. I'm testing tonight on this. Thanks.

Where is Bob? please dont say he'll be back in two weeks, people have been saying that forever since he last said he had to take some time off. I respect someones privacy and all but I think the welding community needs some info, , its like if Wayne Gretzky just disappears, hockey fans are going to want to know what happened. I miss his videos, probably the best instructor I've ever seen. I sure hope all is well..

[luzangelstar]

Great advice did what you showed passed yesterday

[Kevin.L_]

I've got nothing that needs welded but this video makes me need to weld.

[marcmanget]

It is Nice to learn about the rod angle placement in in 2Gf test plate, I will like to see camorra shots of the rod towards the front and back close to the stringer. it will help new welding students like me. Thanks very much your video's help very much. Marc from Winnipeg.

Your suppose to do the Bevel 2nd on your root pass, the 90 is harder to get CJP,

[claytonsalmond]

I think when i did my 2g plate test I did 2 separate root passes, 1 for the bevel, and 1 for the straight edge. Only the straight edge required a stop start if i remember correctly.

[pyropeople]

This is exactly what I needed thank you!

[sidewaysdanny]

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the purpose of the backing strip? When would this technique be used real world?

[patrickfarley]

Hey man, would that 4 bead cap joint have passed as is? Can you at some point show exactly what the paperwork looks like when you go to take a test like this, please?
