Im impressed. The best teachers are the ol timers...
Can i just say as a British guy I love the American welding lingo. America has the best engineering education in the world, so jealous.
Right !they do have a great lingo buckshot for bee bees
Germans are pretty good too, but yea I do like the way they teach it and there so much diverse welding processes used in the US weather it big machinery CAT style stuff, Naval ship yards, pipe, chemical, oil & gas fabrication etc. So many options widely used.
I'm new to welding just learning atm, I have a question about the mig angle uphill for internal corners, should I be trying to pointing my torch down on all uphill welds?
Thanks.
@@deepwinter77 what kind of welding are you doing? Like mig, tig? Stick, whatever
@@brucestuff Mig
@@deepwinter77 I'm a month late but no, uphill mig is much stronger while angled straight in or slightly up, since the heat is pushing the puddle and not pulling it. Turn down voltage and amperage a bit from standard settings for your material and electrode, and weave side to side
I love when this guy is teaching. Humble and just says it right to the point
That's a damned near perfect weld. It looks TIG'd. 👍
Master of welding
,
You are the uncle we all wish we had !!!
The weld looks like a machine did it.
I can tell you that without a doubt that not many people can weld this good . So, to have 485 thumbs down doesn't make much sense.
Keep up the teaching, I loved it.
Thanks for making me realize just how shitty of a welder I am.
Facts lol me too
Fellow shitty welder, thanks for the dose of reality at 6:40am
Bob is the only reason i subscribed, amazing teacher
Love the bead patterns in the welds, I know mine look nothing like that. Even on my best days. More practice needed I guess. Thanks for the vid, inspiring.
I see I ain’t the only one inspired, can’t wait to get in the shop and try this out tomorrow!!!
Yes but not just practice experiment rare to dry stuff out and take time too play with it practice alone is almost pointless.
I like how you actually show the welds after your done,, I keep finding videos where they are giving welding techniques but never show what it’s supposed to look like when done
I've been welding for 50+ years and I've learnt something from this video today.Thanks a million.ill be sending you some pictures.Thanks again
Bob, since this video, you've gotten so much more comfortable in front of the camera. Not that this video was bad by any means...but in your current vids, your personality shines through, which is definitely one of your greatest assets.
He is awesome!
every time I start feeling pretty good about my technique and consistency, all I have to do is watch one of your vids to put me in my place.............. Thanks for the content and hubris deterrent!
Dude cursive e’s is much easier. You can do it! If i can you can
Exactly! Thats what i meant.
Bob you sir are a welder n a gentleman, remind me of my grandfather Ole Rex Ashcroft , here's to the fallen rest his soul, Great man even better welder
You truly make this look so easy....one day......one day!!!
I'm 47 and I'm a mig monkey where I work. I have done my fair share of pipe welding with stick and tug, but with 2 boys In high school, I've had to whoa up on traveling for now. It's always cool to have continuing education in life no matter how young or old we all get, and I truly did learn a few things from watching your video. Great job and I have yet to use a ESAB machine but it sure has a sweet zing when it sings..
As a beginner this looks so good that the decades of experience needed is more years than I've got left. I will endeavour to persevere.
This is the generation that gave the welding profession a meaningful and important career field. Take the experience and run with it!!!! Great wisdom n what he is saying.
Bob, the only welder on RUclips that can teach you how to backfeed and walk the cup.
I'm a Pipe Welder and a CWI, I watched many welders on YT showing you how to weld and cringed because a lot of what you see, can only done with perfect fit up or in a Fab Shop environment, but when your in a bind, welding on a scaffold or a lift and you gotta make X-Ray quality welds, all that NASCAR/Jesse James Fab Shop welding goes out the fucking window.
Yes sir, I agree. As a pipe welder and CWI, I did all my scaffolding, man lift, in the racks welding to X-ray quality and loved it. I miss field work and still get called out occasionally. Field fits are always a challenge as well as the elements.
along with weather conditions..i went to school to be a welder then a machinist and have made a decent living w both..im machining now only because of neck and back problems.. i loved learning pipe welding 7013 keyhole root that was so cool
the only time ya whip a 7013 dont know if its still true..
Not a super pipe welder or anything like that but one thing for sure, 90% of most welding is not set up on a bench all pretty. It’s more like welding left handed when you’re right, standing on your head occasionally, reaching way out with one hand, down a hole, or probably the very worst one trying to weld something the right way while people that don’t know squat are arguing with you that you’re doing it wrong
Exactly!
Bob, I don't recall having ever seen another "Human welder" your equal regarding skill, consistency and perfection! What you're able to do free-handed I've only seen equaled by "automated welding" system's, the type that likely sell for $250.000 plus per station and are found at companies like G.M. and Lockheed-Martin. Sir, the skill set you've demonstrated in this video alone, in my humble opinion, anyway, is deserving of the title "Grand-Master Welder". I for one salute you!
Bob is the absolute best instructor. !!!
Professionals are easy to WATCH and you can learn alot today with the proper cameras. I think this fellow has welded BEFORE. Great JOB!!
Your videos have helped me get A's in all of my welding classes.
I'm learning as I weld on my own pieces here in my garage and I found this video extremely helpful. This answered a lot of my questions as to what went wrong on the two pieces I welded the other day. Thanks
Thanks for the class, sir. 🇺🇸 👨🏭
My first job was a welder helper for a company that run Gas - Main and I progressed to be a certified gas line welder with ''stick'' that was all that was allowed then I am told they now allow you to mig weld...… I moved on to industrial maintenance where I have welded off and on over the past 30 plus years with tig/stick/ mostly mig. I think of myself as a better than decent welder yet time and again as I watch you I am impressed with your knowledge and your ability to demonstrate and explain your knowledge to others …… I have even borrowed a few tips from you here and there that has improved my own welding and I cant say that about most welding videos on you-tube sigh many are clowns that should not be showing anything
I Highly Recommend People Watch U to learn and improve in the craft of welding and ignore what many others online have to say
Thanks for leaving all three layers exposedand close together. The best view ive seen so far.
This is pretty cool and something I will have to try with my Everlast mig. I never heard of anyone doing this before!
Danylo66,,but they told about the amps,,and volt the rest i like this you cant learn more thanks for the tips and knowledge....
Danylo66
Hi sir my name is kaasi please tell me MIG welding 3g,4g,2g, power adjustments thank you
you are definitely a high skilled welder looking foward to more videos
i havent mig welded in so long im watching the videos to get every thing back in my head plus ive learnend quite bit that i diddnt know thanks for the video
It one of the most welding application I ever seem. I did work in the industrial welding industry world wise for 40 years and it is so impressive with your demonstration.
Great job.
King of the Hill.. More like king of the Arc 👌🏻
I love welding and I always will. I love GMAW,GTAW, and an SMAW 👩🏽🏭
The cap on that MIG weld is lookin slick.
Beautiful welding, only people who have tried know how difficult it is to get a weld this good looking.
Hats off to you!.
Graceful and wise the kind of guy I should have listened to when I was young. And real good.
very cool...i remember years ago when learning pulse mig being taught to move the torch side to side with your arms not your wrists to keep the arc distance the same, always stayed with me...
Thanks for that tip. 5 years later. :)
I learned this.... in 20 years I never used it. Same with Spray transfer... only used it with robots on an assembly line and once building the L.A. Subway.
That's some crazy technique you've got there. I've gotta give that walking the mig cup a try with my everlast welder.
I am a Filipino welder and i amazed most of welder from the U.S...they are a good trainers
What a great video. To the point, very informative and precise. Thank you.
I’ve always had a problem with a vertical up weld because my weld would alway drop away from the part but this finally tells me what I have been doing wrong wire angle and movement. Thanks for the help.
I am a Certified welder and I for one think you do a Great Job with your Videos. Funny there is always a rocket scientist in the mix every where you go.
Bret Newman no slag not mig
ole boy that taught me to weld always said count to one when you stop move and count to one. I heard you do that I started laughing. awesome job!
Good video. I enjoyed watching. Always something to learn or refine. Thanks. Doug
WOW! Bob, you're to welding what Yoda was to Star Wars. Incredible skills, thanks for sharing.
Good job bob ,beautiful work.
by far best video I’ve seen on teaching verticals, can’t wait to go lay some beads tomorrow at school!!!
Great lesson. Your clear direction is appreciated!
im 16 and just yesterday i spent the whole day welding (second time) and i was so happy that i was actually getting the pieces of metal together, now that i see this vid i feel like shit lol
angel martinez just keep practicing.
Allen McKinney ive gotten way better now, i did a buddies cnotch(already made just needed welding) and it came out nice, for sure ill keep practicing
angel martinez I'm trying with a Clarke 80e stick welder that was given to me and now I'm trying to relearn how I got started back in my jr high shop class. I plan to get harbor freights 170 mig welder soon but I gotta run a 220v line on my porch first.
220v is the way to go. I made an extension to plug into my dryer outlet when I bought my everlast welder. I was going to get a new line put in but never did get around to it. My dryer outlet is convenient enough to get to.
angel martinez you ll get it keep going young man.this comes with time an practice
Thank you so much Bob
Great instructional video (build it right-build it tight)
Hey Bob thanks for this awesome video! This would help a left handed welder like me a lot... Very nice weld sir!
Learning all
The time. I always enjoy you're videos very instructed I have learned a lot. Still need alot of practice. Thanks from mx
My dad always said the welds should look like a stack of dimes or Nicole’s tipped over … you nail it
A pleasure to watch, thank you!
@ 4:10 this guy just basically solved all my welding troubles. 3 years ago I went to welding school, and not ONE instructor has told me about that important technique. No wonder the wire never ran crisp and smooth doing my uphill passes. But thanks to Bob Moffit, now I know what to do. I feel so left behind. I been doing it wrong all along...
Excellent! I think it would be cool to see x-ray or ultrasonic scans of the weld after it's complete. I bet they would come up clean. Nice work!
WOW i can see by this video the job of welder has been filled..... amazing work you do inspire for sure.. thank you for all the help..
Those welds look clean without buffing it off!!! Perfectly done mate ✌️
No one is buffing this guys welds off .
That's a great looking weld, you got a great hand in mig welding.
Seriously nice technique from someone who knows welding inside out. Pleasure to watch.
Fantastic Teacher, you the man! Thanks for sharing!
Straight forward and easy to understand.
Great stuff! Thank you for this great video!
Really really very nice welds on the three passes, thank you for sharing this very educational video! A great teacher to learn from !
This dude is straight fucking BEAST! I watched one of his videos night before weld test on pulse transfer GMAW process(never pulsed or spray arced a day in my life) I passed the company’s 2G certification, starting wage $26.08 an hour with hella benefits, $26.09 is a big wage for this area in Minnesota
Great and clear explanations. Beautiful weld!
Welding curbs it's been a nightmare but also a great adventure! Downhill it's the way to go!
Thanks for all the good tips.
Sir, let me first say, I'd let you weld for me any day!! Second, I am by no means a professional, but i can lay down a pretty nice bead. ARC, MIG, Oxygen Acetylene, never did Tig. Never had no schooling, dad taught us in the garage. Welding since at least age 8 and I am 48. Every video I watch I pick something up. I would have liked to see that top pass buffed out. Dont leave us hanging from now on. Lol. Even old dogs can learn new tricks. Thanks for the videos, little bit of explanation and then watching the video makes what you said make sense.
Half moon, lazy J, circles. At a young age I can remember someone saying not to weld over weld because it weakens it. Well, after watching your videos and a bunch of pipeline welders, I have been convinced a couple years ago to just stack single beads instead of try to do everything in one major pass.
Biggest thing I learned is, I think I have my settings set to hot. Dunno, but I know its burnt In . Lol
I'm a beginner welder, and I love watching all these informative "how-to-welding videos" on YT, but no amount of video watching will teach you "how-to" until you get out to do the work.
The tricks of the trade
Awesome welding. Just starting my welding course today. Great channel.
thank you so much for the awesome demo!
Those welds are unbelievable.. Thank you ....Don M
Excellent welding and instructing. Thank you.
just started mig at school. I'm excited. my first bead on a t joint was almost perfect.
glad to hear it. show us what you're doing on the forum and Instagram @welddotcom
cat paw ? thats a new one. as usual nice looking weld and great video
That kid can weld!
Great job Bob.
I never considered myself a professional welder. I can run a pretty good bead with Tig and stick. Never used a wire feed. Always found welding relaxing.
your really good and make it look so easy. keep the good videos coming sir.
This guy is obviously a very good welder!
great video bob very clear and concise
Everything's perfect. I love watching it. ❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much. It is very helpful for us beginners.
Fantastic weld beeds! Compliments!
Good welding
This was the exact test for the GMAW portion of my 1st year government practical exam, except it was a downhill root with uphill fill and cap. That was a long time ago now. Time goes by too fast.
Very nice! I'm very critical of the crap videos I see on you tube teaching new welders bad habits. I would say this is perfect! As far as gun (or stinger) angle, I believe you should always pull the puddle as you did. And (as you stated) pushing is a big mistake a lot of rookies make, causing lack of fusion.
Thanks for visual guide and help for WPS and WPQR..
Many thanks for sharing your easy explained welding tips. I was a bit 'rusty' going up, but this clip simply refreshed me and I will weld tomorrow up like never before 👍
Damn Bob. Those welds look SO NICE.
Damn that's nice. I just started mig and hope mine looks as good.
What kind of sick wizardry is this? I'm just happy if the stuff I weld doesn't fall off after I'm done.
Just awesome instructions! You really make me want to come down to Crowley and take the course.👍
That was awesome video, watched twice so i can try to retain your tips and technique when i try
Wow that is an awesome weld.. you are a damn good teacher..
Great Video, one suggestion. It would be great if you listed the setting in the welding description.
this man is a legend on mig
This is a great weld from a old timer
I really enjoy your teaching. Thank you sir
Never seen a better weld bob pure art
Beautiful and strong-looking welds.
I’m just getting started learning to weld, and I have to say that’s some beautiful work 😮😮😮👍👍👍👍👍👍
