When i first broke out as a welder i worked with a guy that went to Tulsa Welding School. The man taught me a lot and im forever grateful to the fella.

I'm a welder. On my day off. Watching you weld. Good instructions. Been welding since 1993. I never look at it as work. It's fun and they pay me. The work is driving site to site and dragging my gear to the area to weld.
Worthwhile video.

Great video overall. I would have liked to see more closeups of the puddle/keyhole so I could see your rod tip movements. I would have especially liked to have seen how you put the side by side caps in without trapping slag or not tying in. You did a fine job otherwise. Hanks for taking the time to make this video.

Watching any tradesman won’t make you one instantly because it takes TIME to learn

I have no idea what you are talking about, but I had to weld 3 to 4 inch gaps on the foundation for the head saw for a double cut saw mill turning over a million board feet a day. It took me 8 hours to weld in those gaps. My welds never broke wether they were upside down, vertical, horizontal or at angles. No one I worked with would have understood these terms. I welded sheets for sawdust, trusses for the floors, bearings, angle iron paddles, safety guards and all the tracks and beams for the floors and supports. I have loads of slag burns and even set my crotch on fire once making a truss. I think it is great somebody is explaining what’s going on. In those days you just did it. If you couldn’t do it you didn’t weld.

I remember my dad practicing for a test to weld on nuclear subs way back in the day.
What a test

[ArcAngelnc]

I noticed that you keep stop/starting at the same position with each pass. Shouldn't you stagger your stop/starts to avoid any chance of a weak point or leak?

After I asked the question 3/4 the way through the video, you mentioned staggering every time you stop/started!

I love the the slag just peels right off after a good weld

[richards]

This was the most physical test and work i ever did.

You should get in the habit of unplugging your grinder when your changing wheels. It'd a good thing to pass to your students as well.

I've watched a guy taking off a sanding disk with gloves on, it was a dead man switch that was missing the little slide that requires you to move before pressing the switch down. As he was trying to remove the disk he hit the switch on accident and it grabbed his glove and broke 3 of his fingers as if they were pencils. Be safe man!

i teach welding at my company ..not easy finding new kids that want to weld ..this trade is in trouble big time.

[brianbeaubien]

Good video, I like what you say we dig a hole then we fill it up unique and well said my friend!

[gregoryfuzi]

The way you explained the welding procedure is the way it's done. That be the way I was taught in trade school. And while testing you could only use a hand wire brush and a chipping hammer. No grinder with a wire wheel. X-ray qualified on 1 1/2 inch with a 1/2" hole pipe tig carbon steel test. Purged stainless pipe high pressure vessels building a company in Niles Michigan I'll just say they build a lot of hot water heaters. I worked in there specialty tank division.

great video! i’ve watched it twice now lol
would have put some closeups between root, hot pass, fill & cap tho; that woulda helped even more

[Bugberry]

I really enjoyed your video! Never seen before this kind of welding mask before here in Bulgaria (Eastern Europe) but I like it very much! Just one question- the lenses...are they solar or a passive glass? 10x for the educational video, it was helpful in many ways!

[altonemery]

Great video. Very informative. Hey what hood are you running there?

[edgarbaring]

I used to be a welders helper in Houston. I wish I would of stuck it out.and became a welder. If I remember we used a 6011 rod a lot, is that a common type rod? It's been about 20 yrs. Ago, so I might be wrong
