Years ago I used work as a metalworker doing structure building and small part welding for containerships. After being out of that work for about 10years I started to work for a transport company which hauls scrapmetal around. There used to be a mechanic with a little bit of experience in metalworking working on all the containers and trailers when the are damaged but he wasn't a good welder so I took that side of his hands. Never thought I could lose my experience with welding but it was a struggle to remember al the ways to weld on certain surfaces and positions. Thanks to your videos I got back a lot of experience and found back the right feeling on how to handle materials, situations like rusty surfaces and how to weld in all positions I get to work with. You are a great instructor and thank you for all the information and help through your videos!
I appreciate you not dumbing this topic down. The picture quality is great. I wish my eyes were that acute. I had really cheap equipment at first, but once I saw the puddle, I was hooked.
i guess im randomly asking but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Denver Elisha I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I punch a clock every day , fabricate and weld for ten hours a day . I’ve been working with metal for forty years. I still learn every day and your videos inspire and improve my skills Thanks 👍
Hi Jodi, you're the most versatile welding instructor on welding techniques. Love all your videos. Im a structural welder. Im now getting started with Tig welding. All your videos have been so helpful for me. Thanks for sharing your time and experience with the welding society. Im Andrew.
I am IWS working as a welding supervisor and i am prety happy when i see some one to get things DONE. Perfectly executed, correct oscilations and good welding. Only two things. 1) I would of weld the root from bottom to top 2) Grinding each pass is more than necessary and it will make the final welding to be more flat. ( But i am sure you just show how to weld each pass and you didnt done it to save some time) Overal, this is HOW ITS DONE! Good video without any misdirections and misguidance.
Sitting at home on a Saturday night (very early Sunday morning), watched this video. Been welding for over 40 years and this just excited the heck out of me. Makes me want to go do one right now. That weld was beautiful !!! It is a pure joy to watch somebody weld that knows what they're really doing!Really enjoy your videos, keep up the excellent work. I will definitely be watching more!!!
Awesome! I just recently took and passed my 3g cert test. Biggest part was having the inspector right next to you watching and critiquing you! Lol is a good guy though. AWS 3g certified! Making arcs causing sparks!
I MIG welded for yrs. and was pretty good, but YOU ARE THE MASTER ! I wish I had an instructor like you when I started. I'm sure you've helped a lot of guys. Well done !
@@Neishy4AGTE Yes, I agree. I watch all his videos. He has AMAZING skills in all things welding. He shows the rest of us what to strive for. Like my friend often says... it all looks easy on TV. When the hood drops the BS stops.

Been welding on and off at my last job, mostly when the welders go on vacation. Never done a weld test, but feeling like I may do alright having watched a dozen of your videos.
Short circuiting process....... up hill..... wow !! Looks great !!! I’ve Pulse sprayed up hill but never tried in the short circuiting process..... Running a lot of Wire feed currently Ive gotta try this..... great work !!!!
When I took my 3G mig test we were in no way allowed to run downhill. Also no power tools allowed. No grinder, just a hand wire brush, and welpers. Just what the employer required for their test. Would love to see a video of an open root ran uphill. Not hating on this video, very helpful for the new guys in this business.
HAY Rick, Watching your video on welding a 3/8 test plate, open root. The 1st thing I thought that you were going to do is welding your root pass vertical up because in the beginning it said 3g and I thought this should be real interesting. But after I saw the root opening I new, no way, he's running it downhill. Just a pointer to you, YOU could of run the hot pass downhill to prevent "suckback " just to be on the safe side, it can happen with mig welding, even on pipe welding with mig. By running the hot pass downhill you'll have a much better chance of not getting suckback. You'll be reinforcing the root pass and it will be alot easier to put it in than welding it uphill. Just a thought for you, but you did a really good job and the cap pass, everything being in uniform.
Am also a big fan of ur.Without see ur video icant go for weld in all position like taught by u, its realy teachable. Thank you so much & love u forever till my heart beating....
Nice Stuff! I'm retired now - "off the bench", just a bit of this and that at home from time to time. Wearing glasses now and finding it a bit of a challenge sometimes with vision, so it's good to watch videos of the trade - good ones like yours in particular. Makes for to put me right back there , behind the glass... Hell, I could even smell the gas here! Thanks - I"ve SubsC
Having being able to do this weld with ease, this is very cool to watch. Just picking. lol Good job on getting the cert, but I hope that's not why this is cool to watch.
Thanks for helping this farmer improve his welding skill. I have no formal training but able to do weld repairs with out failures regularly. I do practice welds and cut the piece in half just like you show in this video to learn proper penetration, no porosity or undercut then try to break it with a sledge hammer to test.
Pengelassan...adalah pekerjaan yg paling saya cintai.pekerjaan pengelasan terberat adalah pondasi mesin kapal...dimana welder dituntut untuk benar benar baik.
Great video!! Question: I have a test at school, same process same position but on the (open root pass) I have to go uphill. I've been practicing on it for a while now but I just can't get it done. Either it's not penetrating or there's to much material passing on the back side. Could you please upload a video to show me how to do it?
"Could be a little more reinforcement on the root..." Jody, you're too hard on yourself. That root was flawless, in my opinion. Amazing work, as always.
Thanks man I’m just a hobby welder but I’ve been watching your vids ever since I started and had the interest and all your tips help me get better. The hardest part is finding scrap material!
I'm currently working on a piping job in the shop. the boss decided.030 bare wire. im running 21 volts and 410 on the wire feed. I can't quite make 90° of it welded do to gravity. I'm using a miller cp-302 with the feeder on top.
Question: I had worked at a fabricating shop in the Parts and Tools Room. I had expressed a desire to become a welder. The purchasing agent, to whom I had made the comment, said that if I want to drive at night in my old age (I was in my mid 50's at the time) I should perish the thought of welding. I did some welding back in the 1970's when I was attached to the Public Works department on a Coast Guard base and enjoyed welding and working with metal. Now that I'm in my 60's I still have a desire to weld but the PA's words still ring in my head. Does welding affect one's night vision?
Do different machine settings vary by a great deal? Whenever I set the welders at work for this low of a setting, it doesn't sound anything like this. There's so much sputter from the wire being too fast for the voltage. Even when I lower the wire speed, it still feels so off. We have 2 Lincoln's. Don't know the exact models, all I know is they are huge. We typically run them at 24.5 to 26 with wire speed at 1 or 2 o'clock (I think it's 400 to 600).
When an apprentice I was told when vertical up passes either with MIG you call it GMAW or stick on the filler passes to get a tune like a Viennese waltz in your head or counting 1,2,3 pause and off again always kept me in check for a uniform pass
I use a cheap metronome off Ebay that clips to the side of my welding helmet. Get it going at the rate you need depending on settings and use it to keep your rhythm. Gotta stop the mind wandering off.
Could you tell us what machine you are using? I heard the cooling fan cut back just after you finished the weld. I'm thinking it's a miller or esab. I believe the HTP has that cut back also.
Short circuit mig on thick plate is risky vertical is the best to do though ive seen so many plates straight up rip in half on bend test even though the welds look beautiful
Last year I took a basic stick welding class at school. I got pretty good at 7018 but a few weeks ago I bought a Hobart stickmate 235 and started out with 6013 and 6011. Just needed a little refresher. Bought some Hobart 7018’s a couple days ago and I’ve tried everything and I have to beat the daylights out of the slag for it to come off and then it turns into powder. Ive turned the amps up, turned it down, tried more and less drag angle. Nothing works. Any suggestions? There’s no way it can be my technique because at school I was getting some beautiful slag peel. Just very frustrated. I’ve followed every 7018 instructional video I can find. Any help would be soooo appreciated!
On your downhill with mig, what causes the puddle to create more of a U shape? Was doing this yesterday and was having to do more of a half circle to try and fill in the U shape forming.
Hi great video! I'm beginning to welding working for Hyundai but I'm having trouble to regulate the machine, can you give me some pointers please. Have a great week.
Hello, I would like to ask you what have you use to see the penetration after the welding? It's some special oil or something else to see how deep penetration is? My regards

I appreciate you not dumbing this topic down. The picture quality is great. I wish my eyes were that acute. I had really cheap equipment at first, but once I saw the puddle, I was hooked.
Whenever I'm out of practice I watch your videos first and like magic it's planted in my head again.... Seriously though!!!

Funny thing is I'm pretty sure MIG is the process he is the least competent in, you should see the guy with a TIG torch in his hand.
@@Neishy4AGTE his TIG is insanely good, its truly an enjoyement watching him do it.
@@Neishy4AGTE Yes, I agree. I watch all his videos. He has AMAZING skills in all things welding. He shows the rest of us what to strive for. Like my friend often says... it all looks easy on TV. When the hood drops the BS stops.
@@gordjohnson70 If only it was as easy to see the arc as it comes up on his camera, I swear just seeing what you're doing is half the battle.
Yes verry good

Thank you for all you do sir. You’ve saved my job. In turn my families hopes. I’m a much better welder because of you.
I learn so much from your videos. Thank you so much.

Jody is a Welding Machine for sure. Thanks for your welding videos
Love it. Didn't know MIG could look so good.

what kind of fluid do you use to develop a weld on 6:52? Thanks!
Dude I thoroughly enjoyed your videos and your personality. Keep up the good wo!!
Thanks man I’m just a hobby welder but I’ve been watching your vids ever since I started and had the interest and all your tips help me get better. The hardest part is finding scrap material!
Wow you are such a huge contribution for this world. Your vids are super helpful, well explained and edited. Thanks a lot for sharing!!!!
Welcome back sir.
Great video, I appreciate any advice you provide.

Disculpa, y que resistencia tiene este tipo de soldadura? Tiene la misma resistencia que el electrodo revestido e-7018? Saludos
Great welding Sir 🙏🏻 i m also welder
Was für eine Bomben Decklage 😍😍😍😍😍sehr gute Arbeit. Die Maschine ist sehr gut eingestellt 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very good explanation it will make me learn more about everything enhance our welding knowledge
Looks good ! Always done hard wire down hill ,, even in the pipe shops , Good vid

When I was welding I always do my own ticka ticka in my head. Sometimes I was allowed to listen to headphones and I went to the beat.
Te felicito por el vídeo que tipo de planta de micro alambre usas
Love the video!
Do you have a video that shows AWS D1.1 for gmaw,
Globular transfer in 3G & 2G
Without weaving?
*Wow, incredible! ??????? ????????? ?? ??????? ???????! It can be seen that the person loves his job and what he does! ???????! Thanks!*
good night teacher a hug from Brazil wanted to know which gas mixture you used in this welding ae? thank you so much for all the tips
You get to do downhill roots on tests over there ?
Good tip on grinding bevel on bead before restart. Love your vids. More please !!!! Thanks and headed to your web site now.
Let's see a Canadian test! 2GF spray arc. (Flat single bevel groove (3/8" plate, 1/2" gap, 30° bevel, with a 1/4" backing plate)
Pulse arc man don't want to get any burns on that golden arm
Cory If you burn through a quarter inch backing plate , welding isn’t for you.
So nice done pretty well bro watching here in Cebu Philippine
I love you old timer! Thanks for the video!
That weld went in pretty slick, i know your happy with that cap! Thanks for weekly post..appriceate them.
Thank you sir so nice welding
Awesome job! Can you tell me what is that oil or liquid you used?
Is running downhill a must for this process?
Can you tell me what kind of liquid you using to etch the weldment
Awesome video. Great info. Great techniques and thank you for the settings. They will be a great place to start when I practice.
Hi sir, please show me how to set my welding machine" Miller 380"?
Thanks I really appreciate the great job you provided .
Could you tell us what machine you are using? I heard the cooling fan cut back just after you finished the weld. I'm thinking it's a miller or esab. I believe the HTP has that cut back also.

Short circuit mig on thick plate is risky vertical is the best to do though ive seen so many plates straight up rip in half on bend test even though the welds look beautiful
Reminds me of the sheet metal tests I did about 25 years ago.
Only one pass, overhead, the back side needed to be even.
Have been watching your content for awhile! You’re very knowledgeable. Keep them coming.
Why didnt u do the root pass up ever since i took my apprenticship its always been rootpass up mig stick flux solidwire ect
lol its always downward root with 3G test plates

You are a incredible welder

Hi great video! I'm beginning to welding working for Hyundai but I'm having trouble to regulate the machine, can you give me some pointers please. Have a great week.
Could you show the tie in on the other side of the plate?
Awesome 👍 job I appreciate all your Tips and video's guys keep up the great work
why are you going downhill on root pass and uphill on the filling passes?
Hello, I would like to ask you what have you use to see the penetration after the welding? It's some special oil or something else to see how deep penetration is? My regards
I see no problem welding up, but my teacher said MIG is done from up downward. It can be done either way, right?
I wish one day I could do as good as he does
