Ever since I saw a coworker do it, I've been curious about someone elses opinion on laying the wire, but doing a forward and back sway pattern of sorts with the torch to collect the puddle from the rod pull it back and focus heat before advancing and doing it again. It gave a dip dime like appearance the same way you can get that appearance doing fusion with patterns and such, but I have no clue about the ins and out on if it's an ok thing beyond "the two bits of sheet metal ain't movin so they're welded"
Great example of the importance of ABC ( Always Be Comfortable ). When you had a way to steady yourself the welds looked awesome. But, when your hands were floating in outer space, the welds looked like they could have looked better. :)
don't immeditaly stop when you reach your end point your welding (tie in). kind of walk the cup while speeding up and gradually backing the tungsten off the weld.
When doing laywire you can deposit more metal that the thickness of the wire. What you want to do is stab the back of the weld with wire and let the arc eat the wire effectively moving the stab point. By varying the angle you stab at you increases the amount of filler you deposit per inch of weld. At filler angle of 90 degrees you would basically be staying in ine spot making huge puddle and at able of 0 degrees you have laywire.
I'd like to see a sch 10 SS 6" pipe welded in 2 passes maximum (1 pass preferably), maintaining silver to gold on root and cap, may be rotated, but preferably welded in quarters
One pass may be hard what would you use 1/8” wire and would you bevel it and or gap it at all. Definitely may be possible not something I do often I’m just thinking in my head I do a lot of 6” sch.40 stainless pipe that’s multiple passes though a little different. Could definitely be possible though would be a cool video 👍
@WojnarskiWeldingFabricaion Yeah i wouldn't expect one pass with the color standard, I've been able to do this with 2 passes, I run a 3/32 gap, with a very slight bevel (almost square groove, no landing) using 1/16th rod with a laywire stringer bead for the root at 75amps, for my cap I dab but I can only maintain the color standard by welding slightly less than 8ths at a time, although lately I've been noticing I'm not filling as much as I could on the root pass and I think that will help give me more meat to soak up some heat on my cap
I only laywire when I have tight and cramped inside corners where I can only kind of see where my tungsten might be, and stacking dimes makes my tungsten and filler become one. I haven't seen anything on a blueprint. But I've had customers ask for specific types of bead based on what they want visually, even if its wrong. I was forced to do an autogenous weld on half inch stainless because the customer wanted the bead as small as possible.
I have theses table legs I’m building taday actually I make them quite often using 1”x3” rect tubing cut and kind of make them into a rectangular frame and 45 degree miter cut the corners I’ll bevel the two sides where the corners meet and knock a flat on the outside corners and weld them all different the bevel ends I lay wire with 3/32” wire the outside corner I lay wire and pulse with thinner 1/16” wire and the inside corner I dab with 1/16” wire . Not sure if it makes sense how I described it really each weld whatever you or I do may be different and have a better method of welding. Good video 👍
@@IBeerGamez i think i said learn...? i cant speak for the channel but i feel like they have great intentions on helping people, i dont remember the channel ever saying anything about trying to turn people into experts from the content, but i do know that the info they put out does help! they put out alot of info that iv not saw alot of anywhere else, an even if ya dont gain anything from it the videos are well put together n enjoyable to watch start to finish, only my opinion tho
Super glad this uploaded today, I'm two days into my Tig class and struggling!
Great video. I'm a welding novice and I didn't know what Laywire was called and couldn't find any info on it. Thanks for the education.
Learned Tig with laywirw only but nowadays I dip because it works better for my stuff . Thank you for the video it gave a lot of information
Great video! Thanks for that real world demo.
A good one ! Austin! Thanks for sharing! 👌👍
At 9:50 "You almost want that bigger wire. And that's just because I'm a shite fabricator." 😄

It is a use case. As you say, "What weld are you trying to achieve?" Dab and slow is good for x-ray.
Laywire with pulse is great for outside corners on thinner material.
Can you do how to get rid of a fish eye when tig welding I have trouble getting rid of it please 🙏

@ ok ok it would be better if he showed us on video but thank you though 🙏

I need to get a machine to do tig welding. It looks soo cool.

Inside corner out of position I will always lay wire! Or anything out of position for that matter lol
Dippy dippy
piddy dibby
Someone didn't get a tig finger in their stocking, naughty boy 😅
ANYONE wanting to learn how, this is da spot!!!! great video guy as always!!! love it
absolutely not, he will get you by in your garage making you tube videos for people that don't know, that's about it.

@ I do get what you’re saying, Bob moffit Was/is a great teacher though and I guess I expect that level from this channel.
Feel like beginners should learn to dip/dab first. If they lay wire everything without the proper amperage they are basically brazing everything.
