- If you were taught to weld your sheet metal panels together with stacked tacks or jumping all over the panel you are causing more work for yourself. Long continuous welds are the key to keeping your panels nice and straight during the welding process and makes hammering out any minor distortion a breeze.

Man, this channel is going to be one of the most popular metal fabrication spots on RUclips some day. I'm really glad Karl Fisher mentioned you on his channel as someone he follows. I can sure see why he reccomended you; Stellar content!
Started out welding sheet metal 50 years ago. Man, I wish I had seen this back then. These days I'm a CWI. Your right, It's all about consistent heat input. Wish I could have seen the back side, but it looks really good. Thanks for the post, subscribed.
Mike hands down this is the best no nonsense video on welding sheet! I always did it jumping around till I caught some of your stuff on Instagram and started running it continuous with .030 rod. DAY and NIGHT difference. Thank you for all you share on here. Your straight to it approach and your commitment to giving all the details make every one of your videos worth well beyond the time spent watching them.
I STARTED DOING THAT IN THE GOOD OLD GAS WELDING DAYS. IT WORKED THEN AND IT WORKS EVEN BETTER NOW. I JUST COULD NOT EXPLANE IT LIKE YOU DID. WELL DONE SON !
I recently started using this technique and it works. I've done the tack method for years and this process is really the way to go. Thanks for making these videos Mike.
Oh, the video editing was good. You got to the point fast enough to keep people engaged AND you didn’t cut out needed content. IMHO.
I agree with your method. When I was a sheet metal model maker apprentice back in the 1970's, that is how we were taught. I have arc, mig and tig welders in my shop today, and I rarely roll out my mig welder.I just don't care for it. The control on the tig process is so good you can control warpage much more than mig. This was a really good video, thank you.
Best explanation of weld/warp I've ever heard. Thank you !
Love the content. You are spot on about TIG welding. Hard to beat a Miller syncrowave TIG welder. I use the same welder at work but I use the TIG button on the torch handle instead of a foot pedal. I feel more stable with both feet on the floor and still have all the control at my finger tip. Great point that nobody sees a pretty weld once it is finished out. Your heat control is great, It is easy to set the heat but you have to be able to keep a consistent speed. Your fit up skills are obvious seeing such a consistent heat zone. All the pieces coming together, quality parts, fit up, weld preparation, excellent finished panel. Frank
This is a really, really good explanation of what you're doing. It all makes logical sense, and you can't argue with the results.
Great educational content. Your teaching is very well done and your editing is very professional. I see a lot of other channels referencing your quality of work and content. Keep up the great content.
After seeing this video, I need to practice and work on learning to tig weld. Superb detail, explanation of the method behind the theory behind the and video!
Great video! A lot of logic, well edited, well done, your a great Craftsman, your Craftsmanship is outstanding!! You got me hooked line and sinker!!
I agree with your technique , you have a good understanding of the forces at play. One of the techniques I like to use when welding flat panels with the TIG welder is hammer welding. It used to be fairly common back when we torch welded everything. Not sure if you're familiar with it but it's where you weld for an inch or two, then iron it out while it's still very hot, red hot if you can, then repeat the process down the panel. It takes practice to be really good at it but when you're done all the stresses are out and the welds are flat. It takes a small amount of clean up after that. I got my first TIG welder over 40 years ago and realized quickly how nice it was to weld sheet metal.
Thank you for this video. I too prefer TIG welding sheet metal. I spent hours chasing the warpage. Learned of this technique from Christian Sosa, I have since become a true believer. Thanks again!
Thank you for taking the time to share your viewpoint. Much appreciated!
Videos are great! I’ve began to try tig welding! Trying to use the pulse features to avoid having to use the pedal while I’m welding! Thanks for this! Your craftsmanship is excellent!
Mike great video! Your right I was taught the old way of stacking tacks and small sections with a mig. I bought a tig and will try this method. Thanks!
Thank you for being honest about the reality of working metal. None of this is perfect. It’s the finesse that makes it a finished product.
Going to have to try this out. Also the videos and editing is coming along leaps and bounds! Keep it up!
