Hey everyone, wanted to give a quick update on Bob. He has been taking some time off while he helps his school open up a new satellite campus. We are trying to work out some dates to begin filming again soon.
The best advice that I can give is that if you're in school and you've made it to this test that you already know how to weld relax and have confidence in yourself
The best thing I've ever done with taking a weld test? I think the biggest thing was to take my time and have faith in myself. Practice every chance you get!! Get out of your comfort zone!!!
My teachers name was Johnny Napier. He was in the navy and taught navy divers, and he welded for NASA. He had us do our test very similar to this in 2007. I was definitely lucky to have the honor of him teaching me how to weld. I never could make a good living from it, but I've helped more people than I can count and myself many times. I love welding. It's just something about it that makes me excited. When I smell that smell, it does something to me. I wish I could've found a job and made a career from it. I enjoy your videos, and I appreciate the reminders of when I went to welding school. Have a good one and great job.
One thing I tell my students about overlapping passes is to look at the previous bead, you will notice a portion of the prior bead to be "lit up" by the arc and cover that area with the new bead by watching the toe on the new bead. Similar to what is done on the soapstone mark. Another great video!.
One thing I can tell everyone is that if you have to stop during your actual test you’re gonna send in, make sure it’s in the middle / close to it !!!!! They will cut and bend 1 inch in from the end and cut a 3/8 bend strip out, so to make sure you have the best chance to pass do that:)
I remember asking some coworkers where the strips would be taken out, and they kind of laughed it off and said basically pretend like it's getting x rayed. Which is a take, but, to anyone stressing about taking a test, you can reassure yourself that you're absolutely giving yourself the best possible chance by avoiding restarts in those coupon zones.
The best thing that helped me with all my cert tests was if it looks good it is good. I've always said that to myself and it has worked for me. Great video as well, did a great job explaining everything.
Welders today are having high tech welding machines. Back in the early 90 we had simple 380V industrial welder machines with a remote adjusting knob. Went through all the tests for x-ray. Not a walk in the park but confident grew with practice. For the root gap we measured it to be the diameter of the weld stick core. No back plate. Nice to see your videos 👍🏻
Frank-T thank you sir, I also learned in the 90’s on an old transformer. Gap was the diameter of the uncoated rod. 6010 root 7018 fill and cap. Things have changed a lot since then.
First test I've taken was my 6g open root cert on 6" pipe two weeks ago. Ran 6010 root and hot, and 7018 for fill and cap. I'm a certified welder now, so that's a job title change and decent pay raise.
I am attending school for welding I look forward getting a good career going thank you for your time thank all of you guys for the good information that you guys are sharing 🙏👍🏼👍🏼up
a few things i like to have when ever im welding but for sure when testing. they ll really get you out of a bind if you get some slag stuck in a tight spot. first a pipe fitters flie. 2 a small chisel like 1/4 inch. 3 a full hack saw blade and last take a hack saw blade and cut it in half at about 60 degrees to give you 2 nice sharp picks. great video love em. keep up the great work.
Great video! I'm currently in school now and have my 1st bend test today for 2G , we've never practiced with backing strips though, I feel like if we did, I wouldn't be having as hard of a time as I have been.
16 years old in high school taking my first 1g test tomorrow. My instructor said I weld like I’ve been doing it for years (it’s my 1st year welding ever) wish me luck
Been welding stick for 15 yrs, 5 yrs ago I took this same test, and I failed my first one, but it looked really pretty, my second one looked significantly worse and passed, so what I'm trying to say is, well to the best of your ability, don't try to impress people with how it looks because it only takes a couple inclusions to fail a test
Excellent. He is a great teacher by his manner and attitude. Sounds like he really wants his students to succeed. I have been welding for some time and have learned some new techniques today. Way to go! Thanks.
Thanks for the video. No tips or words of wisdom but would love to see you do another video with 1" plate and vertical. Your camera and instruction are excellent so it would be great to see and hear exactly what it takes to pass that test.
A 6" plate you can do that with 1 rod if you run stringers which is what I was taught yes its helpful to show restarts on tests because you will do that in the field another helpful tip on testing put your ground on the bottom of your plate welding away from it helps arc jumps at the end
It's NEVER mentioned on any video, but ALWAYS put new lenses in your helmet before doing ANY test. "Back to basics". No instructor, welder, or examiner would ever dispute this.
Kind of amazed I've never heard this tip about tests before but it's absolutely correct- especially if you've been using the same lens for a while, it's WAY too easy to forget how dirty it is until you get a new one in there!
Great tip, i really think one of the things that held me back the most early on in school was using DIRTY lenses. As an amateur, you might think you're not supposed to see much, but you can actually see crystal clear with new lenses.
Ahhh wish I had seen this before the welding stores closed. I've got a 2g stick test tomorrow and I kept saying I need to get some new clear lenses... Oh well
Just took this test except it was on 1" plate and it's getting X rayed and ultrasounded. It was actually a lot easier than I thought, no starts and stops because it was only 5" long but I reused all my rods so hopefully that doesnt screw me lol I think it should be fine tho. The only real challenge was getting it to fill fully because we had no run off tabs but I just turned the test around after every pass so one side didnt fill more than the other
Patients . Don't go to fast! Not certified but welded for over 30+ years as a maintenance mechanic! Take your time. The thing that allows you to weld can also destroy your welds! Heat! Allow for cooling and bead cleaning!! Stronger welds with least amount of slag inclusion is key! Bless all of you and slow down for getting quality welds! Someone's life and livelihood depends on it! Take your time and do it right!
THE THE LESSER EXPERIENCED, BEWARE WHEN YOU REACH THE 11:20 POINT,OR NEXT TO LAST BEAD BEFORE "CAP". THE VOID,IF NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED WHEN ACTUALLY RUNNING THAT WELD,CAN BECOME A GREAT PLACE TO BECOME AQUAINTED WITH SLAG POCKET AND SLAG INCLUSION. LIKE SO MANY OTHER THINGS IN LIFE,ONE CAN BE TOLD AND TOLD,BUT UNTIL YOU GET YOUR OWN FEET WET,YOULL NEVER KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE ... GREAT INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS, AND CHANNEL! LOL! IF YOU CANT SEE YOU CANT WELD,TAKE EYE SAFETY VERY SERIOUSLY, ACCIDENTS HAPPEN SO EASILY!
I like your videos. I have looked through your library and can't seem to find a video on welding thin metal. Like welding the gauge of metal on a lawn mower deck.
Didn't plan to watch the whole video, but this was very interesting and informative to watch! Thank you for this awesome channel and God bless you all. One question though, what kind of camera are you using to record the welding process? Is it getting affected by the arc? And how did you manage to overcome the interference if any? Thank you again!
@@GodslilRedneck23 do you have any videos of where you compare solid mig wire to gasless flux core wire.?I've been told the flux core is better to use and much faster and better for out of position as well..ive never used it but I'm going g to start. I'd love to hear about it from you and show us how it's done..i always assumed flux core to be slower because of the slag left behind after the weld and then having to clean it up were as with the mig just weld it up and that's it done..so please if you can I'd love to hear from you...thanks for replying I appreciate it...keep up the good work from your friend Martin from Ireland 🇨🇮😀🇨🇮
I passed this but in the 4G position and 3G, both 1 inch plates. Now I’m taking my MIG PULSE cert in 3G with 1 inch bc I want the unlimited thickness 😜
it took me 28 hours from zero experience to pass 3G and 4G AWS b2.1-1-016-94 . my instructor said that was fast and he has had people take up to 3 times that long.
Hello. It's been 3 months since I started this job. But somehow, my hand is not fully positioned, and I involuntarily move the torch left and right. Do you have any suggestions?
I do a lot of structural weld and these grove welds. Most of the time the inspector don’t require any removal of the backing bar. Mostly because it’s fused to the structure at this point. You can cut the edges off but that’s it
You can wash it off with a torch thats how my Instructor told my class how to do it. Its a little bit time consuming but it works and after it all melts off just grind the area you just washed and it will look like it was never there.
@@kadjulik1 yes thanks for posting that. Yea I mean they test you on the stop starts n fillet and grove in 1 test. The american ones where u can choose where to stop and start seems so much easier especially because you dont have to bend the sketchy spots
Thanks for the info brother. Can ya'll do a over head t joint fillet video those are my next two test 6010 5p+ and 7018 any advice would be greatly appreciated
I'm stuck doing fill and cap with 6011 I have the root pass down , but I could use some tips, I'm always cleaning the plate and I'm never putting water on it yet I some how fail the bend test for the face but not the root.
Maybe he just needed to take a break to deal with life or his full-time job?. Weld.com is producing great content in the meantime and respecting Bob's right to privacy, would be great to see him back, but I'm not thinking demands to know what happened to Bob will get us there any sooner.
Shorten up your rod. Yes youll probably have more tie ins but the shorter your rod, the less affect shake will have at the tip. Most of the time youll have extra rod at the end of your pass anyway so calculate how much then attach your electrode a little farther away than amount of extra rod you would have left over.
Question: Why did you stop right at the half way point? Is there something saying you have to have a restart there, or was that just where your rod ran out?
Failed my first test and its because I didn't grind the little Skagit had in the root pass. Kind of bummed out but no one else passed out of 5 guys so I don't feel to bad
@@GodslilRedneck23 thanks for responding. I have read about carbon pickup in the weld puddle from extraneous sources. Keep up the good work I enjoy your vids
paul hatch will do. Thanks for watching. More often than not you can pick up contaminates from hydro carbons like paint, cutting fluids, oils etc. Gotta keep it clean.
Hey everyone, wanted to give a quick update on Bob. He has been taking some time off while he helps his school open up a new satellite campus. We are trying to work out some dates to begin filming again soon.
Good news, I was beginning to wonder if he had been abducted by aliens or something. Getting Bob withdrawal symptoms
@@brettrasmussen413 I'm waiting for the video where he explains how to smell the difference between a 3/32" and a 1/8" rod.
Will Walters I’ve mastered this technique guys at work are blown away !!
I was afraid he was being treated for prostate cancer.
Weld.com can I practice this with with 1/8 6010 and 3/32 7018 ? And less thicker plate
The best advice that I can give is that if you're in school and you've made it to this test that you already know how to weld relax and have confidence in yourself
i’m taking my 1G test tomorrow at a welding comp at College Station, this video was extremely helpful, thanks for all the tips & demonstration !

You make that look easy i have found that stick welding is not as easy as you guys make it look lol
Redemption Garage haha yep. It’s a fun roller coaster
In Canada you have two stop and starts and a half inch gap one plate is at a 90 degree and the beville is at 45 degrees
i learned a lot that's some smooth operator
I’m in my 4th quarter In school, I have to pass my 1G/2G/3G/4G with SMAW. All E7018.
I have to do this with GMAW GTAW and FCAW.
my name is marc Manget. Direct all your heat in root pass towards the back up strip. so you do not get overlap on the bottom plate.
Great weld test
thats some smooth welding
I passed this but in the 4G position and 3G, both 1 inch plates. Now I’m taking my MIG PULSE cert in 3G with 1 inch bc I want the unlimited thickness 😜
Would you show cutting and bending the strips as well?
Are you letting the material cool down between welds?

Thank you for the lesson
how you know when to go up and down on each pass of bead being placed? what to to look at?
sir did you use 7018 for the root pass all the way to capping? i mean i could've just missed it but yeah,
Is it common to run the entire weld, including the root with 7018?
Can you do a 3g stick test. Nice video though.👌
Daniel Garza already posted brother. Search it on our channel.
I'd appreciate seeing a video on removing the backing strip. There's not much info online. Thanks in advance.
I do a lot of structural weld and these grove welds. Most of the time the inspector don’t require any removal of the backing bar. Mostly because it’s fused to the structure at this point. You can cut the edges off but that’s it
You can remove the backing strip by carbon arc gouging
You can wash it off with a torch thats how my Instructor told my class how to do it. Its a little bit time consuming but it works and after it all melts off just grind the area you just washed and it will look like it was never there.
Do some canadian cwb tests yo might throw u guys for a bit of a loop
right? not even a combo or open root. no stop starts in the tests. this is pretty easy in any position

A big problem I keep running into is shaky hands I find using a solid platform to work from is nice but not always do able. Any tips would be great!
Shorten up your rod. Yes youll probably have more tie ins but the shorter your rod, the less affect shake will have at the tip. Most of the time youll have extra rod at the end of your pass anyway so calculate how much then attach your electrode a little farther away than amount of extra rod you would have left over.
Hey long is your welding course? How long is the SMAW section?
We do 4 months SMAW then 4 months TIG, 4 months MIG.
Gracias por este video ,buena informacion .
According the rods. Are they only marked 7018 or are they also marked 48.00?
Thats how they are sold here in sweden. Ofcourse they are marked 7018 to.
48.00 gäller bara ESAB har jag för mig. T.ex. Elgas motsvarighet heter ju P48S
Question: Why did you stop right at the half way point? Is there something saying you have to have a restart there, or was that just where your rod ran out?
Tnxs mr Oliver for the great video !!
Super awesome guy, always, bless bro.
Special thanks. I like your video.
Nice job
I learned a lot of to this video seen
When I do my tie ins I get porosity any advice? I clean the beads after welding them too I don’t get it
What are your machine settings
Just put a Triangle in the gap. Then Weld from the outside in
How do you make the beads flat? Every time I do it it's bulging out.
Failed my first test and its because I didn't grind the little Skagit had in the root pass. Kind of bummed out but no one else passed out of 5 guys so I don't feel to bad
Make sure after each run you clean it good to get that slag out!
