Thank you for not doing a practice piece beforehand. This is a small insight on true welding "in the field". One thing is on a bench and another thing is welding upside down in 100 degree weather. You kept it real, mad respect.

[mrmidnight]

You make me feel so much better about my trademarked tungsten dipping technique I’ve perfected over the last 6 months of welding 😂😭😩

[arcdragon]

Thanks for sharing! So glad you have the balls to show everyone something that isn't 100% perfect. Definitely helps moderate my current aspirations back towards reality.

[skeeterdirks]

I like how real you are Justin. No excuses no bull!! And very informative on everything you do. Excellent content. For beginner tig welders like me this is all very good info and I thank you for that.

[dereckbauer]

Damn & I was feeling bad about how often I have to regrind/replace tungstens, THANKS for that!!

[johanjotun]

just you Justin, your the only one who can instruct/talk while they do it thanks for the content love the channel.

Nicely done. I bought this kit for practice before rollbar welding. I haven't opened it yet. Also; I'm glad you didn't practice first. That helps the rest of us aspiring welders feel better.

I have the greatest respect for you on this one for being both Honest and Brave for performing this exam piece in front of the world (and probably your old welding school teacher).

[autoSRI]

That looks way harder than it first appears
Nice to see your not afraid to show your mistakes

[samla]

Solid work and thanks man for showing not only skills but effort to demonstrate the piece.

Sweet, looks great🤘 Appreciation for sharing your thoughts as your at it.. The little things you mention as your burning through it are all things I will be more observant of. All details that can only come from experience. For those of us who have a lack of that (experience) learning from yours, absolutely helps speed up our learning curve. I've been swinging a hammer/remodeling/building for 17 years. Finally, over the past couple years I'm able to make the time and now have the space/tools to create via a new medium, metal. I'm getting board with wood. Lol. Love your series, it really is helping me progress faster than I would have otherwise. I don't have time or money for school, this is as good as it gets for a guy like me! Always looking forward to your next video. Thx!

Back in the 80's I was working for a desert racer named John Baker and was just learning high end fabrication including TIG welding. John needed a TIG welder and was interviewing quite a few all week...they all layed down good solid TIG welds on the bench, but just about everyone failed when the had to weld on the actual race car in all the off hand positions that came up. Bench - ok, Tube frame - not so well....Where I learned that you need to be able to weld in all sorts of crazy places...

[tgsubie]

Dude, i absolutely love your channel. You have taught me so much and ive had fun just watching and learning from you. Thank you for the valuable information you provide to make the world of fabrication a better place. I laughed a lot during this one lol. But still glad to watch and learn.

[RicardoGarcia-]

Love the struggle. Sometimes you definitely make it look so easy. Thankx for the video

[dereckbauer]

LOVE watching your vids, serious sense of humor

[rdb]

That is reality for me. So thanks for doing that. I weld about 2x a year so this helps reinforce that I need to practice a lot more. Great channel!

[gsh]

...and if we wanna add just a bit more of challenge to this exercise, my cameraman is gonna jab a pointed stick in my right first rolled in salt!....  remember no cheating!  Great work Justin. Thank You for all your valuable lessons my friend

I appreciate seeing this, after watching all these perfect TIG videos, I thought I was just very slow.
