I’ll likely never be a good enough welder to accomplish this. I had a friend, passed maybe 25 years now, Damian Gregory, who used this method to weld custom exhaust pipes for Buell motorcycles. He was a terrific welder in Marina Del Rey, California. RIP.
I can’t tell you how much watching this channel has improved my welding on all processes. What an amazing teacher and superb welder. Everyone he has on the channel is as well. The arc shots are just incredible. I don’t buy TIG consumables anywhere else.
What’s the consensus of using filler wire (or not using it) with sanitary tubing? Here in NZ I’ve only ever seen guys use filler, whether they walk the cup or freehand. I haven’t seen a qualification specifying whether you have to use it or not. I like to use 1mm wire, and weld freehand. I cut everything with a GF saw so it’s not like my fitup is crap. In the US, is a piece of 2” dairy tube welded in 6G a standard test for a prospective employee? It pretty much is here.
Hi Jodie just a quick query-I thought on other vids where you've mentioned sanitary ware you've said scratch start is mandated. I don't remember why (old age lol) and you didn't mention it here. Any reason? Cheers!
Had question on purging , is the gas consumed / changed , point being - if the pipe is purged of air - after some time & then seal / cap off the pipe - leaving no air but filled with purge gas , would that be able to shut off the purge gas ? Saving cost of consumable , I do small mobile work using the very small tanks , to avoid humping large tanks . Thanks again
A reasonable question but if you're welding pipe/tubing it's safe to assume it's not all closed up or gas tight (yet!), and any openings would let argon out and oxygen in. You might reduce purge gas flow somewhat after you're sure you've driven out the oxygen but you do want some continuous argon flow into the assembly. It creates slightly higher pressure inside, so that air/oxygen won't make its way in.
Welded many thousands of Metres in the pharmaceutical, dairy , brewing and chip industry freehand and orbital watch for the dancing lady in the pool before you move off👍
*_Walking the cup from underneath with one hand. I can't imagine that. Incredible craftmanship skill._*
How would you do it?
Honestly, it's not that hard. Especially anything over 2"
I worked at Intel Corporation for 25 years and welded miles of this tubing. In my opinion the greatest job a welder can get.

Wow, thank you!
Kapton is probably the most common brand of that tape. Very common in electronics.
So I have heard Jody even taught Thor to strike his first arc. I wouldn't be surprised. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Hello my dear teacher
Hope you are doing great
Very happy to see you together with Andrew
Another great video Jody. Andrew has some talent, looks he's laid down a few miles of beads.
Awesome vid, really cool content
Thanks Jody
Always great content Jody….
neat to see how others do it , i don't walk the cup i use more of a whip back and forth motion.
Increiblemente ,,maravilloso ,,,trabajo ,,saludo,, ,

Kapton tape I assume?
Hey Jody, how do you feel about welding stainless pipe with rice paper and stainless flux paste instead of purging with gas?
Hey i have a question regarding a purging tape?

@@KD0CAC for sanitary, purge needs constant flow

Show de bola
I wish welding were easier lol
Where is the Switch?

That was the cue I was taught when I started.
