- This is the sixth video in a brand new welding series called
"How to Become a WELDER!"
This series is about anything and everything about welding including safety, setup, proper operation, diagnosing bad welds, and making cool welding projects. This sixth episode is a list of my top 10 tips and tricks for all of the welding processes that I have learned and used over the last 27 years. These tips are good to know whether you are using gas, stick, mig, or tig as they are general tips to improve your welding and make you aware of factors you may have never thought about during welding.

The more videos I watch on your channel, the more I realize I’ve got to get my gas welding gear tested and start using the techniques you’re teaching!
You can do it! Yeah I love gas welding.....and mig.....and Tig.....and stick.....yup, welding rocks!
I can’t thank you enough for sharing your time, insights, tips & tricks and acquired skills for the world to learn from. Being a new welder (retirement planning) I’m beginning to think that I should’ve taken up playing the drums in a Heavy Metal band for chreeest sake! I did just get a few new things from the video that I’m going to try as soon as I get back home from my day job. I’m absolutely sure I picked the wrong profession to pay the bills.
Glad to hear you liked my content and teaching style Kevin! If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Welcome to the channel and good luck with your new skills!
Thank you sir for the great, great tips! Treating the pointed heat-source as a direct energy projector, like a laser gun, is a real eye-opener for me. I always thought it didn't matter that much, like in melting a bowl of icecream with a blowdryer! Experienced tradesmen shrugging off pride and spending time to share their secrets is what pushes humanity forward. I'd honestly send you a crate of our best Belgian abbey beer if I get to know your address!
You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and my teaching style! If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. I also have a Patreon link in my newer videos if you'd like to support my channel. What's your favorite Belgian beer? In Canada we can sometimes get unique beers from around the world. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
@@wayofthewrench Subscribed. As a Belgian I would recommend these two beers to definitely try once in your life: Black and red labelled Omer Traditional Blond, my favorite allrounder; sparkly silky taste, a heavy hitter but very forgiving towards head and gut of the overenthusiastic consumer due to the quality of its ingredients. And Paix Dieu ("God's Peace'), even heavier, with an amazing rich creamy taste! Literally a drink of the gods.
I am soo glad that you showed this neat info without any loud music 👍
Glad you liked it! I had fun making that one! Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!
You have good production value and explain the information clearly. Love those transitions. Your videos should be getting more views. I bought a cheap multi-process welder to learn on and am using RUclips as my guide. I will be waiting for the weld diagnosis video.
Thanks! I am trying very hard to create some quality content for my channel and I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Yes, I totally agree with you but it is insanely hard to break through RUclips's algorithms. If you enjoyed the video, I'd really appreciate a share out on your social media. Good for you for teaching yourself how to weld. If you stick with it, you'll be welding in no time. I've got a really cool video idea for the Mig welding troubleshooting video, you'll have to trust me.
Cheers!
Good tips. I will remember these when I teach my kids how to use my everlast this summer.
Awesome! I wish my Dad showed me how to weld when I was a kid.....I didn't start welding until grade 11 in shop class. What Everlast welder did you get? How you like it?
Great Vid, Priceless info, thanks Muchly!!
Thanks Ivan, glad you liked the video dude! No sense me keeping all my experience to myself. Thanks for the watch!
Nice video man very helpful thank you very much
Thanks! Glad you liked it and got something out of it. Cheers!
Love your video transitiona. They remind me of mythbusters.
Thanks Sage! I trued to spice this video up a bit to make it more interesting. Thanks for the watch!
Thank you for sharing these awesome videos! Would love to learn about how you approach tack welding with a stick welder. Looking forward to more tips!
Tacking is pretty much the same for every welder but a good trick for tacking with stick welders is to grab the electrode like a pencil rather than the holder so you have more control. You have to start away from your tack so you can scratch start it too. Cheers!
Very helpful, thank you
You're very welcome!
Thank you
You're welcome, hopefully these tips can help ya out. Thanks for the watch!
Nice vid🔥
Thanks Mike!
iam a welder from Pakistan with 12 years of experience in different countries in oil and gas and power sector TIG+STICK
Awesome! Good on ya! You can probably lay some slick looking welds then! That's great that your skills have helped you find welding work all over the world. Cheers!
Hello sir, can you make a video about rod angle for SMAW? Thanks!
I will eventually be making a bunch of videos on stick welding so turn on your post notifications bell and you know when it drops. Thanks for the watch!
Ways of the wrench
This is the way.
plz inform about online free courses of welding and inspection
Online courses are available at the Canadian Welding Association CWB group. The link is in the video description. I am sure there are others too at other technical universities. Now as for free, I would bet that there are almost none. You might look into any grants/subsidies/bursaries to pay for your course though. I won't be running any official training or certification but I do offer free online tutorials with my videos and I honestly think they are worth their weight in gold for someone looking to learn about welding and improve their skills. If you do find something free, let me know so I can help others in the future. Cheers from Canada!
The number one tip for any welder is, if you don't want to be gasping for breath when middle aged, get a airflow mask and protect your lungs.
You're absolutely right! Protecting your lungs should be a priority for sure! Thanks for the watch!
I didn't even know that existed!!
Landed a welding job last week can't weld for shit 🤦♂️🤦♂️ kinda stressed but weather trying to do my best
Sounds like you need to watch a ton of my welding videos! Then find some time on a machine so you can practice. Hope your new job turns into a rewarding career! Cheers!
@@wayofthewrench oh I'm definitely chasing a career in welding man i love working with metal and thanks for responding to my comment 🙏
Cool! The trades can be a very rewarding career! Cheers!
Boston?
Question vague....the city, the music, my accent, or the donut? lol.
@@wayofthewrench your accent
Noice....I'm going to have to watch this video again to see if I can hear a Bostonian accent. However, it is not. I live in Vancouver Canada so some ehs but not too many.....Cheers!
@@wayofthewrench i have a question
@@wayofthewrench i just bought a rasberry pi 4 and i dont know what im doing but do you know if there is a way to connect 3 40mm fans to the header?
Crinally under viewed video!
Right??? Things are slowly starting to gain momentum for the channel but it's ridiculous how slow it has been. Maybe you could help me? If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks in advance! Cheers Sage!
