[thebrokenbone]

awesome job man. it is not that you have to "make it look like a weld" but you have to make a sound weld even with crap gaps like that. thanks for sharing. pete

Ha ha ha ha I like the funny start ! I like a BIG GAP, so long as it is a thigh gap! I struggle stick welding big gaps but with Mig it is easy enough. Liked and Subscribed young man!

You would think that your wife would've seen your big one before, but she looked really suprised there. ;)
Nice welding. I think there are not a lot of people that can weld a gap that big with 7018.

this remote would be a game changer for thin metals

Cool vid, but in real life situation when you have to weld that big gap and you don't have at your hand remote and good electrodes - i would use a filler rod like in tig welding (just have to chip off flux cover from electrode)

Hey mate, great video! I saw in another post you made your own lens for your Sony a33. Any chance of explaining how you did it.

[IsaacOLEG]

you use the same technique than for open root pipe ? (sort of large U ? ) is not the inner reinforcement taller than 1\8 ? ( good enough ?) your welder correct energy when you wash the sides is not it, or you would have undercut at 50A? With hot start at 90%), possibly it is possible to have 100A going to 50 (may be only 75 to 50) Regards BTW What are best uses for 7016 ?

I just found your channel. What a great job with huge gap. Did you use dc - ? What was your arc force?

[roseironworks]

Very nice job, can't say I've ever tried to fill a gap that big....how do you rate the Kemppi gear ??

[antonaskling]

Can u do 6g smaw from root pass to cap pls.

[massa-blasta]

now how can I add a remote to a non-remote stick welder?

[leehotspur]

This is ok weld for farmyard work etc The penetration is far to high for strength or flow pipes or coded Structural or pressure as its height makes a high angle causing a stress raiser as too a too high cap One of the best old books especially SMAW welding is the Lincoln book of arc welding

Take the time to lay a bead or two to bridge with instead of using this 'hack'.
