I stated welding for a heavy equipment dealership when I was 21 years old, welded and machinist for several job shops where you fixed anything that walked in the door, a few years with med. to light manufacturing company in engineering, one heavy fabrication shop as well as my shop at home. I'm now 64, still working, when someone asks what I do I tell them the truth " I'm learning how to weld. " And that's why I'm watching this because no matter your experience level or your smarts the real detail information that only one welder can tell another is found here. For you younger guys just starting out and you old hands that think you know it all--this is the place to be. A lifetime is not long enough to learn all you really need to know.
They always say the day you stop learning is the day you quit. Welding for me has ALWAYS been a learning process. Everyday is different, and thats why I love it
I'm just going to say this: As an industrial super nerd, I can watch both of you guys weld and talk about welding all day long. Any student is lucky to have either of you guys as a teacher. Thank you both!
My grandfather started welding in the 1930s and he passed down some of his techniques with me. He would never whip a root in a pipe regardless if it was uphill or down hill. When I went to welding school they told me I couldn’t drag a root in pipe uphill until I did it. Bob thank you for showing people the right way might not only be one way.
Not only are you gentlemen great welders,but true tradesmen!! There is no ego,no competition and no insecurities,just consistent learning and building on eachothers techniques and knowledge. I applaud you two,you are true gentlemen and great examples for anyone watching. Thank you for the vid
Flame James just because it’s a flip up style hood doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a auto change lens in it which he clearly does from the purple tint it had to it. Both are using auto changers.
Flame James force of habit I assume. Go to 14:40, he has his hood up and his lense up and you can see through the back of it and clearly see the background through the lense. Also pay attention to the front of his lense, it has 5 or 6 of the solar photo eyes on the top right corner. Trust me, it’s an auto changer. The old guy is strictly a shop welder/instructor and clearly sponsored by ESAB. The youngster is wearing a Outlaw Leather hood, which is the most common hood used in the Houston plant industry, but nevertheless both have auto change lenses
I've watched these two separately, but together its a trip! Its like two dudes sitting in a bar talking about their... "techniques" ... almost like a father and son thing..
Hey guys... just starting my endeavor .. really green.. got the basic idea of stick welding.. I’m a full time single daddy to my 9yr old princess.. also a disabled veteran.. so I can only dedicate about a hr to a hr1/2 to welding.. but you guys have taught me so much in a very little time! So I’m gonna keep at it.. and listen to you guys! Keep giving myself and others simple competent education! Thanks!!
I learned to weld from an old school guy starting at 12 years old. I got to the point of welding mild steel and stainless steel bases together for industrial systems that sit on the rooftops of commercial buildings. I was certified and also welded lifting lugs that the helicopters use to hoist these systems in the air. I had a different technique than my teacher and the students I helped train, but it was cool because we got to the same place. I taught some things, and always learned some things. How can people give this a thumbs down? The old guy is the master, and the young guy is future. Any time the two can collaborate, it benefits them both and we get to watch. You can't beat that with a stick! Great video guys!
He's a very respectful young dude. That goes a long way when you're trying to dominate a "world" dominated by older dudes. Wish I would've understood that a little better when I was hits age.
Respect and the will and motivation to learn as much as possible. Also 5 to 7 years later when fngs f$#%ing new guys with smart ass attitudes start giving lip service make sure to have there back.
as a welding instructor I love watching you guys in order to try new things o i can show my students new and different ways to weld in order to get the same results! thank you
I got moved by your dynamic, mutual restpect and awesome way of explaining what you do and your differences in method. This video is so full of love for your work, eachother and your viewers. I'm in awe. ❤️🙌💪⛓️
Excellent ...Learned something new today. I learned whip and pause 28 years ago at Hobart. I'm one of the old guys and still welding fulltime. Great video
When I learned 6010 was taught to whip ,honestly never tried dragging it in this way looks great will have to try this soon.. wish i had RUclips when i learned to weld thanks for the videos guys
Love the video! My father is a retired pipe welder and when I was younger I used to see him lay that root like hjamar.I personally like both styles.Keep up the good work Augie
I learned from a old oil rig turned teacher welder back in the mid eighties,had a lot of respect for him he was a master, I remember practicing 6g root low hydrogen , he would come over to give his opinion of your efforts when you’d finished ,I’d be thinking he can’t fail this , he just said good now do it again it might be a fluke ! He kept you practicing so every time was good, 😉🇬🇧
Been welding for 42 years. Teaching and testing welders now is South Houston. I can agree with what they say and do. There are many different techniques which is very important to learn. I teach my students. Its all about fit, rod angle, heat, arc length depth and travel speed. I teach them to see the puddle. Its like a major league baseball hitter, if you can't see the ball you are not going to hit the ball, see the ball. The puddle tells us what to do. I teach them to not only see the puddle but to hear it and feel it. It is very important to practice welding bad fits within code because mostly when working existing you can get bad fits. You can with a lazy fitter also. You can hear their root going in. it has a distinct sound when it is penetrating and a distinct sound on which polarity it is on. These guys explain what they are doing in a way I really like. Good job guys!!!!
As always, you two teach great together!! It's important to remind or teach people that there are different ways to get it done... But the basics are all the same! I love the "one hand" comment Bob... I've always run stick with one hand, but some positions I've had to get in to, to reach... I have used both. Especially the real long distance stuff, when I've actually stuck two sticks together to reach...can't be shaking!!! Mig,, almost always brace... But do one hand quite a bit too... Everyone has their own way! Love your videos, as always!!
Retired,passed my first 6g in 72,I acted like I won a green jacket,from that day forward I was dedicated not to fail a test.Only test I didn't pass was Vandenberg Air Base,space shuttle project,sch 80 chrome,only root,64th inch start and stop,you had to stop atleast three times.This was Bechtel Corp.It was all about them being paid for testing,did my best preheat to 425 root ever.LOVE the sound,both very good,I always did inline stitch so I didn't lose keyhole to the wall when it got hot.I loved it,did it all.Kept my last stamps.
My dad was a welder for 60 plus years. He never had much use for 6010. His always go to rod for root pass was 7010. Very few welders even know about 7010. It’s a fantastic rod
" Give me 5 ....a little more.....hold it. " I've heard those words thousands of times in my welding days. Retired from 40 years of it but still appreciate quality weldors. Nice job fellas .......! ColdBear.
I’ve been welding for 27 years and taught welding for 13. I liked both of your stiles, though different from mine. I prefer to use the whip and pause technique and I always make an 1/8” land, 1/8” gap and 88 amps. All 8’s easy for student to remember. On a 6G I have my arc slightly outrunning my hand and slightly pointed towards the top bevel. I also keep my rod buried, always remember for every 1/8” your rod is off the base metal your machine increase 10 amps.
I think our welding instructor has this same exact relationship with my classmates and myself.... He is kooI as a glass of ice tea and tougher than a can of Lincoln 5+++++ E6010's💯💯💯 we salute you Mr. Williams
I know I’m 5 years late, but hopefully you’ll see this. Did you drag or whip the root in your test? I’ve never had to 6010 a root into a monster coupon, and have always been able to tig root and hot, then 7018 out. All I’ve ever really done is drag the root in with 6010, and am wondering if dragging it in works well on 2” monster coupons?
I'm a Alberta B welder and l always like 5p+ 6010 1/8 uphill and make little circle motion and drag.Keep the fire in the pipe and no fire outside.Enjoyed the guys with a good video REG MAIR.
always found more comfy to drag just a little. Uphill I always felt it burned out the keyhole a little to quick, cause it is preheating then blowing out, a very slight backhand was comfy and made sure to join the two quite well.
Really enjoying watching both of your channels keep up the great videos. I’m in week 2 of Welding class at my local college and these videos are helping so much with my SMAW courses. Thx again
I've always thought it would be very interesting for you guys to discuss the different techniques and different processes used in certain regions of the U.S. For example, the differences of welding from up north/midwest states and the southern/gulf coast states. It's always interesting to hear the ways of construction hands from different parts of the country. Awesome video!
I enjoyed this video and seeing people with different techniques talking about their trade. I've got an everlast welder at home and I really liked watching these videos.
Love this interaction. I been welding for twenty five years and I weave or v on my roots that blow and go drag is something else. My hand speed is just not feeling it . Fast and clean root nice work guys.
I've watched both of y'alls videos before and I love the fact you guys got together to do a video. Your vids have helped me get into welding pipe fence with rusty ol drill stem pipe and man it's a chore thanks alot
I took several classes welding at a tech school but I didn't have nearly as good of teachers as you guys seem to be, all I got was turn amps it up turn it down hold your rod closer pull it back some I kind of just got discouraged. I got pretty good at flat stick welding I passed my bend test for flat and horizontal but then I just kind of got burnt out no pun intended but watching you guys got my itching again I didn't realize how much I misses it and I am not one to let something conquer me so I really want to get better.
I have been a general motors mechanic most of my life but one thing that has been always on my mind was exposure to toxins, which cause cancer in the long run. When I see you guys arc weld my heart just shivers. Maybe you could do a really good youtube video on how to build a welding fume extractor so all of us geniuses can somehow breath a little longer.
I am retired, but was a welder most of my life ,and welded pipe for 25 years. I had several techniques on the 6010 root pass, the size of the pipe and the size of the gap determined which one I used.
It made me laugh when you said 'two ways to get to the same place'. It took me back to college with two welding tutors. One would check you welding and say, "Why are you doing it that way?" Answer, because Dougie showed me like that. "No, do it this way..." Then Dougie would check and ask the same thing. Answer, because Derek showed me that way. That was normal life throughout my course :) But it was good because some things i couldn't 'get' one way but could the other. Maybe that's why they employed them both???
The christmas tree pattern reminds me of what ive always called a whip and pause technigue. Im more or a fan of a steady stringer beads but whatever gets the job done with a sound weld. Nice demonstartion
Thank you for the video. It's bitter sweet at the end, on one hand I can't wait to try what I learned and the other I want to keep watching the next video.
iv never seen someone stringer a root with 5p uphill...im totally going to try that I love throwing stringers ...I was taught to stab it..go forward and back
The way I was taught was that your 6010 root bead better look as good as it would on a flat piece of metal, when I was in school (my instructor and Jody from welding tricks and tips worked together for 7 years back in the day) we had to make it were you couldn’t even tell where your tie ins were, I always ran a 1/8in gap and land at 75 amps then I just whip upwards. I got my certifications when I was 17 year old Junior. Now I don’t get to do all that fun welding since I’m an Union Ironworker
I'm a Canadian red seal welder and fitter .I stopped this video a couple of minutes in because up until I was 28 year's old I always had put my root in like the elderly gentleman.THEN I broke c-1 in my neck,2 vertebrae in my back lost 2 ribs and I could go on and on.I had to learn to walk again,and weld (stick/tig) .I stuck with the fabricating for a year and a half when I got back to work.But I wanted to keep my tickets ,so I talked to an retired welder who shook bad like me .he was an amazing welder but a 50 year alcoholic. hence the shaking.he taught me the tri angle root pattern ,and it I am 58 now and it is still working.I have to make an arm brace for most.but 6 g sch 40 it works.
I enjoy your videos but I am not a professional welder so I struggle with some of the terminology. A tutorial on some of the terms and an example of what that looks like would be great. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Love it. The humility of both you guys, willing to talk differences as well as similarities. No ego, just the desire to teach. Kudos to you both.
Mark Lowry thanks for the support
Thanks fir the videos live to meet yall trying to figure out where to send my biy for welding school
teachers are always cool....

When I went to welding school they told me I couldn’t drag a root in pipe uphill until I did it. Bob thank you for showing people the right way might not only be one way.
I heard that it depends on the gap of the open root; whether you need to whip or not
Down hill you can get away with a wide gap but uphill it needs to be pretty tight.
@@ThereIsFinallyGoodVeganChoices if I can't see my puddle or keyhole, I always whip. But most of the time, I will drag unless my keyhole gets too big
@@joshpittman6021 you can xray weld a 3/16 gap if you work it right. That amp knob can go way down you know.
I got schooled on 6010 roots after school too
Not only are you gentlemen great welders,but true tradesmen!! There is no ego,no competition and no insecurities,just consistent learning and building on eachothers techniques and knowledge. I applaud you two,you are true gentlemen and great examples for anyone watching. Thank you for the vid
Trip to see old dude using auto hood and young dude using flip style.
They're both auto hoods
@Flame James pipeline based leather welding hood

jackl mcgowan2 lol I’m learning whip and pause there now but this whole dragging thing looks a lot better
jackl mcgowan2 wow my last name is McGowan also where you from?
For a minute I was trying to put my helmet on when he started welding Haha.
Same. I dipped my head when they started welding lol
Lol i still close my eyes on the first arc strike
Fuckin same 🤦🏽🤣
LOL. Thats great.
Yup
I have wanted to learn how to weld since I was a teenager, after watching Bob and Co I am about to take the plunge.
Howd it go
7:42 "daaaaaang not bad for an old guy" 😂 love him
As an educator, I love this. Professionals collaboratively working and trading ideas.
I have found that my rod angle does not matter, as long as I control the puddle and make it go where I want to. been doing it 45 years.
Facts thank you... PUDDLE CONTROL
Great video with the demonstration of 2 types of root passes !!! Now grind them down and put the HOT PASS and see the difference !!!
When I learned 6010 was taught to whip ,honestly never tried dragging it in this way looks great will have to try this soon.. wish i had RUclips when i learned to weld thanks for the videos guys
I like the dude, very respectful. We need more welders like that.
Love the video! My father is a retired pipe welder and when I was younger I used to see him lay that root like hjamar.I personally like both styles.Keep up the good work Augie
Always appreciate excellent lessons from this Duo (Old and Young), your supporter from 🇿🇦

I can watch welding videos 24/7/365. Always learn something. Love it - I'm gonna burn some rods....
Thank you guys for this video is really good to see you working together
Thank you for the video. It's bitter sweet at the end, on one hand I can't wait to try what I learned and the other I want to keep watching the next video.
Never seen either of these done before it’s very cool, always done a whip and pause
Happy to see both of you Sir's.
Loving these videos my 2 favorite Welding channels 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Next time wire brush the root passwelded pipe so we can see and compair the to of you welders.
The kid said they were gonna shine it up on the inside...I was kinda excited to see if the undercut was in code..
Alberta B pressure welder here, those two IP's would be a fail here
iv never seen someone stringer a root with 5p uphill...im totally going to try that I love throwing stringers ...I was taught to stab it..go forward and back
As in life...there are multiple ways to the same result. Great job.
Idk if it’s just me, but old timer reminds of Hank Hill. Love these videos.
The bromance at 7:55 is off the charts. Bob, just ask him out already !! :)~
Keep the collaboration coming 🤓
Two good teachers
That helmet is dope, my buddy has one and it has a blue shade in it, definitely one of the best helmets on the market
The way I was taught was that your 6010 root bead better look as good as it would on a flat piece of metal, when I was in school (my instructor and Jody from welding tricks and tips worked together for 7 years back in the day) we had to make it were you couldn’t even tell where your tie ins were, I always ran a 1/8in gap and land at 75 amps then I just whip upwards. I got my certifications when I was 17 year old Junior. Now I don’t get to do all that fun welding since I’m an Union Ironworker
Lol dirt dobber welds 🤣
Clifton Williams Ironworker weld... god knows I did
Love it men!!! You guys work great together! Laying pipe baby
I would've loved to be one of Bob's students.
It’s good they listen to each other
When he said ,you know where I learn this weld tube ....i went and gave it a like
Bob's style is how my dad taught me to do it.
Both these hands are JAM UP WELDERS !!! Masters in my opinion
Great video guys two of favorite welders/instructors
I'm a Canadian red seal welder and fitter .I stopped this video a couple of minutes in because up until I was 28 year's old I always had put my root in like the elderly gentleman.THEN I broke c-1 in my neck,2 vertebrae in my back lost 2 ribs and I could go on and on.I had to learn to walk again,and weld (stick/tig) .I stuck with the fabricating for a year and a half when I got back to work.But I wanted to keep my tickets ,so I talked to an retired welder who shook bad like me .he was an amazing welder but a 50 year alcoholic. hence the shaking.he taught me the tri angle root pattern ,and it I am 58 now and it is still working.I have to make an arm brace for most.but 6 g sch 40 it works.
“ ummm I do kinda like to stick my rod in there “
Olllll bob
I enjoy your videos but I am not a professional welder so I struggle with some of the terminology. A tutorial on some of the terms and an example of what that looks like would be great.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
You know where I learned that watching weld tube.👍🏼
