TFS: Learn to Weave with TIG
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- TIG weaves are some of my favorite welding exercises because they offer some gret challenges when it comes to torch positioning and puddle control. However, they are tough to do in the beginning when you have nothing to follow. Weld Metals Online has the solution which is a coupon with the weld pattern etched into it which makes it so much easier AND FUN to learn!

Master which gas you use will be helium or just argon?
Stuck at Disney World. Just when I was losing my mind. I got the notification. 30mins of relaxation. Thank you
Comment of the day!
OMG, SO SORRY William. Dismal World The Tragic Kingdom. Spent 28 years eating "Chuck E Cheese" (I built there robots) Did work for Dismal in Orlando, But found they were as cheap as a millionaire asking why my invoice was so high. DUH! I'm GOOD, that's why. Just thank your boots your not over at Animal Kingdom. :p Welding cages. BTW your on Dismal time.....it was only 20 min. Lol
Did you go on the avatar ride?
To tell the truth I've been in the fabrication game for about ten years now. I am always watching weld videos just because you cant learn enough. I enjoy these videos alot. Your good at explaining what your doing without sounding like your reading from a book. Keep it up.
Welders who do good work, are full of practical professional experience, and can make good content are rare. Other welders are not.
I love when you show different training techniques. I actually think I enjoy going exercises more than just plain old welding. It's not often that whatever I'm working on requires anything but a regular weld. Once in a blue moon I might get to show off on a cold air intake and sometimes on some exhaust but everything else is more function than looks.
I wish you can included more shots of your finished weaves. It would have been particularly “interesting” to see the one when you deliberately screwed up. Otherwise, it was a great source of information and an outstanding video!
Watch til the end
I know this video is old but I just got my first welder, a tig set up with a pedal. I've watched countless videos to learn and ran across this video. Nobody has stressed the fact that you need the torch as close as possible like you did here. Man what a help! This video helped me lay some pretty nice welds. Still a ways to go but man thanks for these videos! The way you break it down is perfect. Subbed and about to watch many more of your videos. Awesome content and much appreciated!
Awesome! I was in your class last Monday (before SEMA). I remember you talking about this video. I think I sat in that chair position and used that welder. Thanks a bunch for the instruction. I really enjoyed the class and the time with you and Nick.
Justin.....THANK YOU!!! The time you take FREELY to give us wanna-be's all the welding knowledge and techniques is extremely gracious. Every little thing you demonstrate has made my welds improve in all aspects. You see I live in the rural mountains of North Georgia where trying to find a school that teaches welding, so im self taught to say the least. But I try hard and stay the course at my TIG welding. This is the most demanding welding process for me to learn but I stay relaxed and can even laugh at myself while making mistakes. So many other sites say "only this way or that way and never deviate". While knowing some of the obvious do's and dont's Ive learned from YOU that "whatever works for me" is OK and that everyone has their own style. Just hearing you say things like that in your videos was actually what has caused me to improve, and I cant begin to tell you how much ive saved from consumables to argon just from learning from you! Thank you my Brother!
Good to see the pros dip the tungsten too.😉 I am getting up early tomorrow to try this weave thing out in the shop before I start work! Thanks for the great videos! 👍
I found this video by accident and have been using weaves to close gaps in 18GA steel. I’ve seen walking the cup before but didn’t know other people freehand weave. If those trainers had a gap that would make the exercise more beneficial. If you run off course with a gap you’ll likely blow a hole.
Pretty cool training, most of the weaving pattern I've done is while walking the cup. I may be ordering some of them to play with and practice.
Welding helmet with "heads up" display for amperage. Need to speak to someone about that😄😄
OMG YES!
What's that?
Justin, thanks for your service. Happy Veterans Day.
Am an absolute newbie and easily one of the best videos I have seen.....thanks heaps for going to the effort
Some great points about torch control here! I’ve always subscribed to the 1 electrode width height rule myself.
The best most straight forward informative tig video I've seen, I actually learned something awesome effort bud keep them coming. Love the fact you didnt edit you mistakes either, only way to learn is to do it wrong sometimes aye.
I welded some marine manifolds that had some very small fractures crackes throughout the whole 8 inch pipe. Which I weave tig welded and it works great to stay ahead of the cracking
Thanks dude. Great flow. You’re an awesome teacher.
I could not ask for more. Fantastic video!!! This is what I was looking for. I wish I was in Las Vegas taking your classes.
Those 2 coupons on the side of your feeding hand, on the side of the table is about level I’m at lol. Beautiful welds on the stitch coupons!
You make it look so easy! I obviously need more practice with my powertig.
Detailed welding practical class.
Now this will give me another goal in this thing I haven't even started yet ... lol
Ordered 2 and 3, thanks for the awesome idea!
I always learn something new from your channel bro 👍
I don't know if this is true without trying it (I need to purchase a large cup) but it seems to me that an advantage of hand-weaving rather than walking-the-cup is when you need to keep the angle of the torch more perpendicular, as would be the case when welding aluminum. If so, it's not that one process supersedes the other, but instead, both processes have their place for use. Just a thought ----
ah, here I was trying to tig with my weave.. I had it backwards!
Gotta get me some of those coupons. Brilliant. Oh as well as a F35 pilot helmet that I can convert
Wish I had a place Like u guys where I live in western Australia
Loved the vid. You should do voice-overs so you can concentrate on your weld and so we can hear you better
Thanks for this video, I'm just starting to learn welding and these training coupons are an awesome idea.
I looked at weld metals online but they are sold out and with this video being 2 years old now, I'm wondering if they don't sell them anymore.
Is there somewhere else they can be purchased? Thanks.
very very good video! thx
Have you got an example of the use of TIG weaves ?
Rainbow farts and unicorn puke! I love it, my boss always wants that but sometimes welding is a weld on SS as long as it isn’t burnt
nice meeting u at sema!
Sure would like to see the finished coupons.
Watch til the end of the video
Watched the end twice now and still no closeup of the coupons that you welded. Was wanting to see the one that you intentionally messed up. It’s all good, it is what it is.
Love the idea but paying almost $20 per coupon when i can just scribe out lines on coupons i already have seems a little unreasonable.
They're sold in packs of 5 - not individually. They're also double sided, 2 weaves per side, which is a lot of welding for cheap.
That sounds a lot more reasonable
$1 per bead sounds ah
Thanks
Ok I have 2 questions.
1) what am I doing to get colors in my carbon tig welding I love it but have no clue what I'm doing to get it?.
2) Do you or can you make a video on tig welding pipe that's horizontal fixed.
What's with the they/them silliness? Weld Metals Online is Merrill Performance/TFS. The receipt says your name on it. I don't get the cloak-and-dagger, you had a great idea and I've been buying and will continue to buy coupons from you, so why not just say "I started a new company, give it a try"? I probably won't get any of these; I actually use your practice coupons to carry around because they're perfect for making so many repairs and these just don't have any use for me, but I can see how they would e great for a as school.
I’m sure this is an odd question, but I’m new to welding and our teacher doesn’t do the greatest job explaining. Is it safe to touch the electrode, electrode holder, and your work table at the same time if your table is grounded and you are wearing gloves? thanks!
hi ! simple question = if argon cfm is too hight, can it create arc instability or blow off the electric arc on the tip of the electrode ?
Thanks, very useful information! 👍
Hi Justin,
Are the patterns laser engraved? Certainly a good way to learn to follow a line or pattern.
And so they don't sell them anymore? What gives? I can't find them anywhere.
When walking the cup do folk stick to the 10 degree from vertical for the torch or is that possible ?
Like the purple color**** how do you achieve it??
The colors are an indication of temperature different elements in the atmosphere react with the metal at different temperatures giving the different colors , I'm told ideal is straw colored
@@daviddroescher i can never achieve purple in my stainless welds smh...
@@juanmangerita try hotter/slower(more heat soak in the part), and or less argon
@@daviddroescher thanks David.. Will do
By when will you have more wive trainer
won't the camera sensor be damaged with the light directly on it?
Is it possible to set a pulse frequency (something like 6/8 pps) and still use the foot pedal as well? I think it would look a lot nicer
Sure. I rarely ever pulse, but it's totally possible. If you set higher pulse rates you'll get a very unique looking profile as if you dabbed in every ripple.
@@TheFabricatorSeries nice to know, I often pulse, but i never have the chance to use the pedal so i don't know how and if it is possible to mix it with the other features of the welding machine
Nice been waiting for a new vid. Thank you for all u teach. Just baught an esab 220i, cant wait to play. It was naked. So I have to get a foot pedal and torch. Question? What is the 14 pin anthanol the back of it? There is a 8 pin on front for there foot control. I was hoping I could run the Miller wireless, in that 14 pin. Any answers would be much appreciated. Thank u
Just curious to what your arc shot settings on the camera are? Just a guess, 1000's, iso500, f5.6?
Interesting, I normally try to push the puddle a bit.
He’s a salesman that’s for sure!
Thank bro, extremely informative👍👍👍
Thanks for the in depth video I’ve learned quite a bit from this channel. Is their any reason to use this over walking the cup?
If you want to look like you have no idea what the fuck your doing. Would be the only reason.
I have a quick question that maybe you can help me out with. I've looked all over the internet but can't get an answer that helps me because I don't have one of the values needed. My question is that I have known to set or determine my heat settings on my welders in the past in amperage. I recently purchased a new inverter style multi process welder and the heat settings is measured in volts. Now this is throwing me completely of as I can not find anything as a reference to go off of and I'm finding myself either initially blowing holes in things or running a cold joint and it's a little frustrating for me especially as I am trying to learn how to properly TIG weld. Could you possibly help me out? It would greatly be appreciated.
What is your max amperage that you're running on the coupons
What filler rod are you using for stainless?
First off, thanks for your service this veterans day weekend, and thanks for the videos.
I am a disabled vet, and have had an ankle fusion, so foot pedal control is something I struggle with, if I raise my leg to move the pedal, it shifts my body, which in turn moved my arms, ha ds and so on, I have tried using my other foot, but it dosn't feel comfortable or right, driving, I raise and lower my leg for the gas and left foot brake, is there a pedal you recommend that has great contrrol?? I bought an everlast machine and the pedal that came with it seems to be either full throttle or off for me or I just don't have control like I should.
Thanks again for the video, I'll be ordering croupons shortly.
I use both feet. Just depends on my position. Practice, I can use my elbow or knees. It just takes practice. Thumb control my work for u.
It takes practice... I encourage you to use the foot with the most mobility to it even though it feels unnatural in the beginning.
Go to 6061's website and get the Tig button. It's a torch switch with variable pressure control. Might take a minute to get the hang of it, but you don't have to worry at all about your foot.
Thanks for the tips, my machine came with a finger and foot switch, 2 and 4 t capable but the finger switch is just on, or off, I'll see if I can find a pressure sensitive type that will work with the everlast model I ended up with.
Very nice demonstration however where's the money shot what's it look like when you're done? RUclips Learning is Visual and instructional methods, TIG welding is 100% visual in application the intentional Fubar coupon would have been really nice to see.
It's at the end of the video.
@@TheFabricatorSeries read the coments found this Gem of information, went back and looked . The only coupon that can be seen was the very last one done. Couldn't make out any details of the intentional fubar too much glare off the light, out of frame and out of focus, in essence it's not there.
The past is chiseled in stone here on RUclips. all we have left to do is move forward and learn from what we have done in the past it's how we become better welders, instead of better grinders
11:21 this is key information
sold out :-( great video, want to fire up the TIG tomorrow...
I can only weld with gas due to pacemaker. When I use my largest tips I get very rapid loud explosions in the tip. How can I stop them?
Your getting the tip too hot
You were using a really big Pyrex cup with quite a long stick out. Was that just to make it easier to focus the camera in where you wanted a good look at the puddle? Or was there some other excuse? ; > )
That pyrex cup allows the stick out. Havent tried one yet but want to.
It allows the camera to see what we want to be seen without the torch getting in the way but also provides better gas coverage when welding stainless.
Seems like a TIG Finger would be handy rather than roasting knuckles.
I always wonder one thing when watch TIG welders dab the puddle with the rod. Why can't you slowly use a constant feed of rod like a mig or soldering iron or brazing?
@liamcoleman1888 thanks...whats the advantage of dabing? Seems like it would cause a constant fluctuation of heat and current to make a good weld. Which is why he is using more and less pedal while dabbing the rod in. A constant feed rate would also take a constant current more or less. Maybe constant feed and current develops too much heat?
You can. Dabbing is really a technique for aesthetics and consistency. It really does not affect the heat input like you might think. Each time you dab you effectively cool the puddle and then move forward to heat and penetrate. It's actually harder to achieve consistency on little stingers using laywire than you'd think. Laywire is generally reserved for open root pipe welding. Then your using a real weave technique. I actually dont see a use for these weave techniques. I dont think it would ever be useful. Check out some pipe welding videos to see how laywire is applied.
@@iamsam4260 thanks so much... I always liked the constant bead better than the stacked dime effect, but I'm not a TIG welder.
what size cup you using???
Can you use these to practice walking the cup? Would the torch angle be too much to be able to walk the cup on these?
You could. It's just a short run
@@TheFabricatorSeries What is the best practice for walking the cup, or do you have a video for that?
HELP!!!🤣 I'm going nuts Brother.
I'm having a really hard time choosing between tig welders. The
AHP Tig 200x AC/DC. and the
Weldpro Tig 200GD AC/DC.
What is your advice on
Which TIG welder is best for as pulse welding aluminum. Please
Help I'm going 😵 cuckoo.
By the way I love all your show's
I watch them all the time.
Thanks ( Tabe )
Flip a coin.
So how do you not have a steep angle when walking the cup?
The angle is extremely steep when walking but the tungsten height off the part (or arc length) is ridiculously controlled when walking. There are additional techniques used to compensate, but that's a totally different topic.
@@TheFabricatorSeries the only reason I ask is I went to elite welding academy about 10 years ago and never was it mentioned about angle. I haven't pipe welded in 7 years and about to get back at it. Just curious Thanks for reply.
Weld metals no longer sells them
Justin where do you get your shop shirts?
Unifirst. They manage all of our uniform services for TFS and our employees.
Are you going to be using those coupons in the classes you teach?
boo as of today there not available😭😭😭
When does it stop being welding and start being a game of molten metal snake? Can you weld with a Nokia? Can you weld a Nokia? Can ToT turn a Nokia into an automated TIG filler feed device?
Dope
I am looking for a light similar to the one in your video (at the right side of the screen). Can you give me the brand and/or model information?
Do a tutorial for tig welding without feet please. I guess mig would be the option, but alot of guys came back without feet that were otherwise good welders.
you can always use a finger control on your torch. you wont have the range of a foot control but it is variable.God Bless our Veterans for we are a band of brothers too
You should be using a respirator or good ventilation when welding stainless Hexavalent Chromium is some bad stuff.
You know when walking the cup. The filler rod stays centered right?
just call me bugger welder just me n my fluks core 120 volts spuuutter spatter box/////can i install your class 5 hitch ??? lol
Hello, im really interested in tig welding and i want to get a good beginner tig welder. Is there one someone can recommend?
Dave Willison Lincoln squarewave 200. Great intro machine.
Like first then watching
Why fluctuate the heat when you can just set it at a certain Voltage step on it and go?
Where did you get those plates from
Hey, man, is that you at the back at 10:23, looking at Rob Dahm's RX7ish thing at SEMA? - ruclips.net/video/Ic0P6FlFdsQ/видео.html
Well your discount code have not helped me in getting the discount on my material
14:20 Look how white that leg it!!!
No fear of hexavalent chromium eh? Also from the arc shot, looks like your arc length is a bit too long? If that filler rod is 1.2mm, then your arc length looks like it's longer than 2mm. Or is it just the camera angle? For example, at 9:45, it looks like your arc length is around 5mm. A bit too long, no? Either way, nice job holding onto an air cooled torch that long.
I never got any discount from either code
Wow your eyes look so tired :( almost like after welding with no mask
ElMosqito almost like weed is legal in Vegas
So why the TOT can film a cool picture wood and you don’t ?
Why don't you put a mask for the metal fumes?
Gift mi weld metals masin pilish 🙏🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢
I can't dab to save my freaking life, but I can weave like I've been doing it for years. It annoys me so much.
that is a huge lense
Typisch Amerikaner, blöd rumspielen, wird aber Qualität gefordert brauch man Mexikaner !
Grüße aus Germany!
Thanks
