Beautiful

The welding community is grateful for your being saved. You sir are a wealth of knowledge.

Beautiful

Such a blessing to hear! A humbled hero. Well done sir! This is such a wonderful encouragement for me and my struggles. Thank you for taking the time to still reach folks and encourage them although that may not have been the intention. You definitely encouraged me to stay the course regardless of the trials. God is Great and his son is Jesus Christ the Lord of my life. Thank you so very much for this!

Was that 30,000 off msrp ?

retired now or you still on the books?

Praise the Lord

Gerald hope you are doing well, you haven't posted in a month!

Thanks Mr. Brister, I've learned lot from you even though I've been welding for over 30 years. I still like learning from others. And hearing others ideas. I thank our Father I found your channel. BTW. What is "crepe" I think you called it. I've always worn either wolverine, or Georgia boots, 12" shaft like you mentioned, I think they're called wellington ranchers. I'm pretty sure the same as you meant. My whole family was boilermakers or Pipefitters except grandpa he was an iron worker. Went to California during the depression and worked on the Golden Gate bridge. But they taught me to wear those boots cause like you said slag don't fall in or get caught on laces. I never heard of the crepe deal but I sure wish I did after some 12 hour shifts on bar grate. So what is crepe, I think I've heard of it but don't have a clue what it is. God bless sir.

My father wasn't involved, despite being in the home. My mother tried best she could, but I ended up a sad excuse for a man. Turned 34 the other day and I'm still struggling to figure things out. I found faith in Jesus Christ around the end of 2021, though, and He has helped me more than anything. God bless, Mr. Brister. Appreciate you lending a helping hand on this issue.

What type of side work would you recommend for someone who has a rig set up or trailer set up for work out in the field , I drive truck full time but I do smaller welding jobs on my days off , was tryna get an idea of bigger jobs

Gerald W Brister. I Liked Your Testimony from The Tender Warriors video.Especially about Good Ol Boy habits,And wanting to Finish Good.Been in the Business 43 Years.I Realize now from Hearing from You that I Don't have to Die this way.Thank-You For the Encouragement

Can u get some arc shots?

Amen

Mr Gerald, how do you cuff your sleeves like that? I can’t seem to get it as crisp as yours

I’m late to this but I’m very thankful and glad your still with us, your an inspiration to the young welders like me and my buddys. We will keep you in our prayers

I watched all four of these videos pertaining to the pickup truck setup for the longest time I have racked my head about using a tub truck bed you're a genius everything you was talking about I'm going to try it thanks for the tech tips

The hot pass…… cleans the root pushes the root in adds insurance to the root also……. Undercut won’t be as bad if the rod is a lot more perpendicular than shown here coming off the top of that pipe….. little lead is fine but this is drastic

Always look forward to turning on my I pad & seeing a Gerard W. Brister video, thank Gerard, keep em coming & you better be taking care of yourself,!

Your comment on batteries hooked in series is incorrect. I'm sure the welder is 12 volt. Extra batteries would be hooked in parallel to get 12 volt unless your using 6 volt batteries than they would be series to obtain 12 volt

Hey sir, I’m in the process of buying a truck what do you think about the Megacabs and Crew cabs I know one bed is shorter than another what do you think? What should I go with? Great videos by the way 👍🏻

@Mr. Gerald --- I am interested in that fuel valve and where you acquired it. Like you mentioned, I have to shut the fuel off all the time or it does drain back into the oil bath. I would be interested in how it is all hooked up so it activates during the initial start of the machine.

I have a few death events I ccan testify of our Father's power, mercy, and grace. On October 24 of this past year I had either a seizure or stroke. My sister turned to me and said I love you, and I forgive you for any harsh words or anything I've ever did to hurt your feelings, i looked at her and told her the same, and I asked why she said that. She said cause God's coming for you. And for some reason I looked up at the corner of the ceiling and saw a bright light. I asked her did she it, and she said no. I'm the same way about going to the hospital as you are. So she waited crying and didn't know what to doshe knew I might actually be dieing she prayed and finally called the ambulance they couldn't do anything for me but try and get me the hospital quick enough my brain had already been too long without oxygen. I don't remember anything after she said she didn't see that light. When I got too the hospital she told me they put the tube down my thoat and started giving me anti seizure meds iv but it wasn't working she went home to get me some more clothes as i had vomited, and everything else all over mine. She remembered our Savior telling us in his word that we had the power to heal the sick, and raise the dead if only had the faith of a mustard seed. So she got back and took my hand and said the Lords prayer and I started moving and wiggling and opening my eyes, but they had me on propofol to keep me from fighting the breathing machine, but they also had given me anti seizure meds that I'm allergic to and when I got moving I broke out of all their restraints and ripped out 5 IV lines. Tracy said they had several orderlies, and 5 sheriff's deputies. But, Mr. Gerrold during the time my body was dead I found myself in hell. I looked around could see like into a bubbling volcano, demons were snapping and clawing all around but, they couldn't get to me, and then I felt a different Presence behind me, and i turned Jesus was behind me, He put His hand on my shoulder and He told me "son this place is not for you, I brought you hear to tell others this place is real, to repent I am coming back very soon.

Mr. Gerrold I thank our Father you're still here with us. God bless you brother.

Very well thought out. Goes back to what my grandpa told me " boy, work smarter, not harder". When I was on breaks I would always catch myself looking around and thinking how can I make my situation more efficient, no wasted motions. I wanted everything I did to lead right into the next step. And I tried to set a good example for my coworkers. I've learned a lot from you in just a couple of months since I found your channel. I started out in my career early I guess you could say, my grandpa was iron worker and worked on the Golden Gate bridge. My uncles were pipe fitters, and boilermakers, so arcs and sparks just in my blood. I'd rather smell a 5P or 7018 burning than cornbread, lol. Well that might be stretching it a little bit but, you get it 😃 my uncle that lived across the road from us brought a Lincoln Weld and power 225 with the Briggs engine when I was maybe 8 or 10 years old mom would let me go hang out with him after school, when he was working in his shop beside the barn. Handing him rods tools move stuff ya know and taught me basic safety right off, at about 12yo. He bought me a welding hood so I could watch him actually weld and teach me puddle manipulation so on. Then he started letting me tack things after he and I would set it up and clamp or fixture it. He showed me how to make a rod storage box with an old non-working refrigerator and 60 or 75 watt light bulb and taught me why, (you gotta keep the 7018s and stainless rods dry he told me only take out 10 or less of them at time Georgia gets real humid in the summer. After high school I went to our local Tech School for welding. That's where I really learned some metalurgy and most importantly to me at the time Tig welding, though my uncle was a really good stick welder he never got his hands steady enough he said for heliarc/Tig he passed stick tests on jobs consistently but just not tig. I had a great Tig teacher at tech school, R.I.P. Mr. Hugh Green. I went through apprentiship with Boilermakers Local 454 for 4years I've been a lot places, seen a lot of things but I try to stay humble and watch, listen and learn. Think always give thanks, and praise to our heavenly Father. God bless you Mr. Brister, I look forward to watching many more of your channel.

Man i wish i had 1whole day to sit down and talk. I couldnt imagine the amount of knowledge i would get. Gotta love these old timers

Thanks for sharing your experience. I've learned a good bit from you, and I appreciate it, Im 53 and been welding in some form or fashion all my life. I still love to listen to older hands, or just someone elses idea anytime. God bless you brother.

A friend of mine cut out his box so his machine would fit. Think it was older chevy one ton.

Well, that may not have been so unlike Jesus. Remember that He went into the synagogue and over turned the money tables. Be ye angry, and sin not. ❤

Efficient rig looking good 😇 !

Nice rig sir and thank you for sharing your knowledge

Nice layout 😇 !

😇 JESUS !

Truer words were never spoken !

Good stuff Mr. Brister! I was a certified welder for pressure vessels when I worked for a boiler service company. The jobs were always hot and miserable, but it paid well brother! We'd always have a "newbe" that thought he was hot stuff. Most of 'em couldn't take the heat and stress of the work. It gets tough being in a 100-120 degree boiler room doing a repair that requires a telescopic mirror and to weld it left handed! The mirror makes it tricky because it's backwards!

Thank you Michael!

Awesome video and thank you for sharing your knowledge sir and that’s a nice rig

But where is the Barbeque Gerald 🤣 ! But really a great rig thanks so much 😎 !

So true ! Thank you sir for bringing up this point.

good information sir.

Gerald, we all are so happy to have you here and god saved you for a reason!!!

Crazy story. If you lost oil pressure for real you wouldnt make it a mile. Youd spin a bearing. Ive done it a few times. Have a great week.

What kind of music do you like Gerard, are you a Merle Hagart fan or a rock & roller or both? Myself I like all kinds of music.

I have a 1966 Redface that was a barn find that I restored. I’m not really a welder but enjoy it when I do. I just stoned my commutator and checked the OCV. I was always told by folks that know what they are doing,Leave the rack alone!

What an incredibly powerful testimony, Gerald... Thank you for sharing, and I'm thankful you were spared to do so!

I just watched your video and I'm going through something similar. You impressed me when i was unsure what to do. Thank you sir and good future to you.

Amen brother Gerald preach and all glory to God

Sir, I will definitely see you in my future. Ide buy you breakfast any day. I live in n Henderson Nevada

Mr gerald, I have been worried sick. I am so glad you are still with us. Thank you

Thank you for the sermon, very encouraging.
