FRESH PRINCESS Kriss is right, you should try TIG. It will be very beneficial when doing your metal sculptures. You will be able to weld more delicate pieces and have more control. Cody, you are a great teacher!
Fresh p you did an amazing job I've been welding 30 years, and trust me when i say you did A better job than 95 percent of the men I've seen start out welding, plus you had a great teacher :-) God bless
Oh cool. Thankfully welding isn't a gender specific trait, but it's always a little extra fun beating out the boys ;) You're great, thank you for the confidence boost.
You are truly on your way to becoming a renaissance woman Fresh P ..... Awesome !! Pride myself on knowing a little bit about everything and a lot about nothing and never being afraid to ask if I do not know ...... Well done !! Stay Safe !!
The things a chef will go through to make a dish! You had me giggling like a little girl just watching you have fun. It's gotta be cool to have a brother with all the toys!
I never thought that I would say,what a cute welding video but, it was. I'm an old fashion stick welder and I enjoyed watching you guys. Good job, young lady.
I absolutely love seeing you work with your brother Cody it's way cool mainly because the little problems you had he helped you correct them and it allows me to see how to correct the problems. when I watch Cody on wranglerstar he shows you how to do so many different things from shining shoes to brakes on his pick up but he shows you how to do it so all the little mistakes that a person does isn't shown but when he is showing someone its a whole different instruction but both are great... thanks so much for the video's keep em coming
This is such a wonderful comment, thank you. You make an excellent point and one that is important for both of us to remember. There's so much to learn about teaching others that you often forget that learning is obtained through doing something wrong as much as doing it right. Thanks for watching and thank you for such a wonderful comment.
So awesome. That is such a great opportunity. I’m jealous. Wending is something I’ve wanted to do for 15 years now. Skills that you can take with you for the rest of your life. Your program always inspires me to do more, learn more, and help others. I’ve always said there is no point in having knowledge and skills if you can’t share them with others. Thank you again.
Very impressive welding with a good patient and proper teacher anything is possible. You are doing better welding in one hour than I have seen others who claim they are experts and been doing it for years. I hope you continue to learn and express yourself through metal and other pratical projects in the future.
I can't believe how well you did, those welds look pro. I wanted to weld to do metal sculpture too. My dad was a master welder, but he passed before I went to art school so I didn't pursue it further. I never used a wire feed welder, but my welds looked like knots, yours are perfect. You have the best teacher in Cody. I am so happy to see how well your lip healed and the T cell injections. Thank you for all you teach us
I LOVE working with him. We share so many of our Father's traits that we seem to be on the same page when we work, which is really, really nice. besides, he's just a wonderful teacher.
Your enthusiasm is so wonderful to watch! The comment about doing metal art hits home with me as that is definitely something I have dreamed about doing for a very long time. Thanks for this video! It is very inspirational!
Congrats Fresh P. I started welding as a hobby and for repair on the farm about 10 years ago. Seemed benign at the time. Now I have a full blacksmith setup, and a machine shop. Working with metal is fun and rewarding. I hope you enjoy the path you've started down as much as I have. Oh, and about getting shocked. I asked my mentor about that. I said, if I'm sweaty and touch the metal, aren't I a better ground than the clamp? Won't I get shocked? His response, "Unless you lick the metal, you'll be fine." 10 years later I've yet to lick anything I'm welding and it's worked out so far.
I took a short course of welding back in school. I never got that good at it. That is really good. I am sure Cody has already instructed you in safety... Always remember to put the shield down. What I learned in school from the instructors, even a brief moment of direct view of the arc created by the welder can permanently mess up your vision. Once again, very good job.
As a former professional welder I have to say I have never seen anybody weld as beautifully as that within the first hour! GREAT JOB! Just remember that it is a perishable skill...keep up the practice and you will be creating masterpieces quickly! There are many ways to weld...TIG, MIG, STICK, ACETYLENE, BRAZING, all have unique properties and different techniques to produce beautiful welds. I hope to get back into welding eventually as a hobby...NOT as a profession! When you weld for 12 hours straight, it loses it's luster quickly.
'Perishable skill' is my phrase of the day. I love it. Cooking is the same, your knowledge builds exponentially, but step away for a few weeks or months and it's a different game. Thanks for the advice. Looks like I'll be welding again tomorrow, this time at home on my husband's machine. Thank you for your brilliant praise. That was sweet. Cody and I speak a similar language, so it's really easy for me to learn through him. He's a great teacher.
Very cool P. Two years ago in May on the same day my mom died and my wife moved out of my home. Its been a rough two years for me emotionally, financially, and otherwise with lots to do repairing my moms house and settling her estate. I've also been getting my own home ready for sale. Watching your brothers videos have been very calming for me and very inspiring because I have known that very soon I will be buying my own land and building my own homestead from scratch. One skill I have been lacking is welding and I'm always interested in watching Cody weld and blacksmith. I may have even discovered him while looking at blacksmithing videos. Watching him weld has convinced me I should buy the equipment and commit myself to learning. I have planned on buying my equipment next week. Now I've seen you overcome the same fears I have had and try your hand at something I have wanted to do for a very long time, that's very exciting. I am interested in metal sculpture also. Im interested in abstract art that creates identifiable shadows. In the Army I spent a lot of time outside in the sun. I used to try and manipulate myself and my gear to make different odd shaped shadows to kill time as I stood or marched. I found it interesting that a soldier with gear could make a shadow that looked like something other than a soldier with gear. My first project however won't be art, I'm going to weld a trailer together, I will need it to haul materials to complete my current home and build my cabin next spring. Watching you weld tonight has reinforced the same confidence your brother has instilled in me. I appreciate that very much. Thank you for sharing.
My brother and I learned to weld together a couple years ago when we had a couple projects we wanted to build. Welding is fun, after you get over the scary part!
Fresh Princess, you're a natural born welder. Kudos to Cody for a fine job of teaching but I've taught many a welder, both men and women, that didn't have the hand/eye coordination that your welds exemplify. Vertical down with good penetration in your first hour of welding is outstanding.
Old Sneelock's Workshop Thanks Ol'Sneelock! That's so sweet to hear. I am an artist, so maybe my painting has paid off. Maybe you need to recruit new welders out of art school? ;) Good to have you here, thanks for the sweet words.
Thanks Fresh Princess. Welding by hand is becoming an art form. Production welding is more and more a matter of setting up a robotic weld station. Prototypes, home workshops, and art projects may be the only individual welding left. Welding is hot, can be painful, and certainly is dirty. I'm thinking of your after picture here. Finding people willing to do the work is getting harder. I'm retired from the business of welding and weld engineering so I'm a little vague on what is happening over the past year. The company I worked for was always hiring and training welders only to have them leave after a few months or weeks. Making metal do your bidding is an awesome ability. Welding is one part of the skill set but many of the others build on it. Glad to see you have acquired it.
Arjan Wilbie The pro part starts as soon as you get paid. Then it's just a matter of getting better. I started welding when I was 14 because I wanted to have a go cart. I bought a welder with my lawn mowing money. I my friend showed me the basics and I practiced. A lot of practice. I made and sold go carts, mini bikes, and did odd welding jobs for people. Once people in town knew I would fix their broken widget I had lots of work. My first real job was doing maintenance at a foundry. Everything wears out with sand running over it. When I showed them I could weld I got a lot of practice. Later when I got welding jobs, being able to weld out of position and a variety of materials meant I was always able to find work. Practice Practice Practice. It helps if you have your own equipment and you like to make things. Then the practice is just part of doing what is fun to begin with.
Arjan Wilbie That makes it harder for sure. You have skills and tools. If work isn’t coming to you can you go to it? I’ve found that the best source for job leads is friends and family. It may not be the ideal job or the perfect match to your skill set. That’s even harder to find. Getting the word out can get you started. Can you think of a goal you want and then set up a plan to get there? Perhaps the first goal could be to widen your search. Construction, pipelines, oilfields, ship yards, factories, and hundreds of other places need welders. I worked for a company with 1200 employees. They employed machinists, assemblers, forklift drivers, engineers, CAD operators, quality technicians, managers, welders, and hundreds of other highly skilled people. They set up a welding school because the one skill set they couldn’t find in the labor market was welding. Every person who showed initiative to be a welder was given the chance. I live in Michigan in the US. I only know the area that I live in. I’ve worked in 5 states and driven hours to commute back and forth. Not easy but part of the path to my goal. Times and conditions can be difficult. If you keep pushing forward you can succeed.
Very nice work Fresh P! Very nice coaching Cody! I think you may have created a monster now LOL. Fresh P once you get use to everything your welds will be a spectacular art in itself.
What a GREAT job , you sure are a woman of many talents . I am sure it was hard to start ... BUT you did and that takes strength and fortitude, you have that in spades . I can hardly wait to see what is next. I am sure you could make SERE school.
Great Job Fresh P, and cody, you are a great instructor. For a first time welding you did great, with some more good instruction I'm sure that you will be a fine welder. I agree that if you want to do metal art get yourself a TIG unit, I think you will find it more to your liking, very controlled and precise. I think that once you find you can weld, lots of ideas on how to build things will pop into your head, it is a great skill to have. I really like the videos with Fresh P and Cody, the rapport that you two have is really cool, fun to watch. Thanks for a nice 10 min break in my hectic day!! Cheers!
This is the second of your videos I've seen. I subsrcribed after the first one with Turbo. I like your attention to detail and what a perfectionist you are. And your love of critters.
She is a natural, I was only 16 when I started welding. And I have to say when only just beginning I was told I did great. And I after 4 years of doing even better welding. With my expertise she is very good at welding.
I'm that "teach it yourself type", so yes, if Cody taught my, I would do better ;) But my welding gets the job done, and it's strong. It don't look pretty though :o)
I've never done MIG (I learned on stick welding and have a TIG now for automotive fabrication, but not chassis work) but I'll tell you what, you have some very nice looking beads there for only having just begun! It's apparent your teacher explained the need for a side to side motion to 'knit' the two pieces together. But to implement that so well with so little practice is exceptional.
Ah thanks Doc. I was surprised that I'd actually get to see the metal melting. I don't know what I expected, but once I saw that it kind of clicked. Cool stuff.
This was awesome! Fun memories!! The first time I ever welded, was with a stick welder, attempting not to melt away the thin trailer metal my Dad was having me weld. The second time, was figuring out a cheap wire feed mig welder, to fix my snow blower, after the feet ripped out. A lot of spatter, butt the fix held. Tried tig welding, but didn’t spend enough time to really understand what I was doing, & melted my project away.
Great welds. Although I can't prove it, I believe there's a craftsmanship gene, where we strive to do the best with our skill, knowledge, and materials. I admire that in Cody. Runs in the family. And then there's that which God imparts that gives glory to Him.
years ago I welded a portable blacksmith forge that I have here with me in Chile. The construction of the frame was very similar to yours. You did a good job. Thanks for the vid.
Wow is all I can say to that. It took me many many hours to get my welds looking like yours after 1 hour of practice. It's inspiring to watch someone learn something new and be so good at it. It got me thinking what else is out there I could be good at I haven't yet tried. Great video, just subbed hope to see more stuff soon!
FRESH PRINCESS Not really.Sculpting and painting were things I always wanted to try and never got around to. I think I will give them a shot now since I have had some free time recently and tried to figure out what to do with it
What a fantastic video and a great effort. I can't weld - and am inspired to learn myself. There is no satisfaction quite like gaining understanding of something new - good job FreshP! Congrats on your 100 videos as well :)
Great job on a great project. This is only the second video of yours I've watched but I can see already you are a stickler for detail and doing it right. THAT'S GOOD! My father always told me "if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right"
Wow! You did really good! I wish my first welds were as good as yours turned out. I burned through 10 lbs of wire before I was getting some good welds.... It helps having a high quality welder too.
One of the best first welds I have seen. As a tradesman I actually work with a few lady tradesmen/women. Women are increasingly leaving their mark in all trades particularly electrical, welding, and the machining trades. I think (my humble opinion) is that ladies are naturally more patient than men and keep more attention to detail? Anyway great job P. Any interest in going professional?
I love reading this. I search out lady surgeons/doctors for this same reason. Thanks for the kudos, being an artist helps. No pro welding in my future but I have been remodelling so it may come in handy one of these days.
Well keep up the welding(if you can). Be great to see some metal art. I have the machining /welding skills but lack the artistic ability. Always been a little envious of folks who can create things in their head and then make it happen. Anyway great job! Cheers Kev
You have done well Fresh P. Some beautiful welds there. I have some proffesional Millwrights that are having trouble mastering the skill of welding. I can only imagine what your culinary creations will taste like. I enjoyed these videos Thankyou, Millwright. Okay Cody lets see you cook some pizza on the forge. LOL.
Ive never witnessed someone smile this much while welding. Forget beauty through make-up and fancy hair products! - for a good, healthy looking contagious smile, welding works better if!
Great work, Corrin!! Really proud of you. (Cody sent me to this link and says "Hi"!) You can come weld for me ANYTIME! You are a fantastic "student", who is motivated, enthusiastic and learns FAST! I'd be glad to have you in any of my Bible classes! LOL!!
I'd love to have such a good teacher as the one you have ! I personnaly have a welding post at home I gathered from my grandad and I'm only waiting for someone to teach me ^^
FRESH PRINCESS I guess I'll do so ! My gear is quite different though ... ^^ Doesn't look as easy, but what's more challenging give you more pleasure when you finally succeed !
Those welds look great! As for not getting shocked, at the company where I learned to MIG weld, if you touched the grounded metal table without a glove, you would get a shock. The equipment may have been set up wrong, causing this condition, but I quickly learned not to touch the metal table without gloves!
FRESH PRINCESS the art i cannot help you with but here is the isbn# for a book that will get you going on the steel :) (just search the number below) 0-8269-3010-7

Great Job Fresh P. I smiled during the whole video,
It was so fun to film. Thanks for spending the day teaching me.
It's a lot of fun watching someone you know learn something new... So do I bring over my TIG welder in Sept so you both can give it a try?
FRESH PRINCESS Kriss is right, you should try TIG. It will be very beneficial when doing your metal sculptures. You will be able to weld more delicate pieces and have more control. Cody, you are a great teacher!
FRESH PRINCESS Great Job I am also learning to weld.
-Tim
Me too!
Fresh p you did an amazing job I've been welding 30 years, and trust me when i say you did A better job than 95 percent of the men I've seen start out welding, plus you had a great teacher :-) God bless
Oh cool. Thankfully welding isn't a gender specific trait, but it's always a little extra fun beating out the boys ;)
You're great, thank you for the confidence boost.
You deserve it, great job
You are truly on your way to becoming a renaissance woman Fresh P ..... Awesome !!
Pride myself on knowing a little bit about everything and a lot about nothing and never being afraid to ask if I do not know ......
Well done !!
Stay Safe !!
Ah thanks PawPaw!
The things a chef will go through to make a dish! You had me giggling like a little girl just watching you have fun. It's gotta be cool to have a brother with all the toys!
So fun!!
I never thought that I would say,what a cute welding video but, it was. I'm an old fashion stick welder and I enjoyed watching you guys. Good job, young lady.
katanakeith Thanks Keith. It was a fun day.

Fresh Princess, I am amazed about your welding skills!! Very nice!! and all with a bright smile, awesome!
Atta girl Corrin. You got the right stuff and a steady hand to make a great welder. Good job. Can't wait to see the pizza oven all set up.
Thanks Lemmik, I can't wait to see it either!
Very impressive welding with a good patient and proper teacher anything is possible. You are doing better welding in one hour than I have seen others who claim they are experts and been doing it for years. I hope you continue to learn and express yourself through metal and other pratical projects in the future.
dooley74 Ah thank you. You are so kind.
That is so cool you learned how to weld. I enjoy seeing you and Wranglerstar doing videos together. Great job.
It was so coot. I'm excited for my next project. I need a prep table/picnic table.
Will you do a video when you make your prep table/ picnic table?
Probably.
Cool, I look forward to when ever you get a change to make it.
I can't believe how well you did, those welds look pro. I wanted to weld to do metal sculpture too.

Corrin you did very well. Have been smiling so hard, because you and your brother work well together and I love that you two also laugh a lot.
I LOVE working with him. We share so many of our Father's traits that we seem to be on the same page when we work, which is really, really nice. besides, he's just a wonderful teacher.
Congratulations Fresh P!! Those welds look really good, I've guys with a lot more experience that couldn't weld that good.
Thank you Deane. I seriously think being an artist has crossed over. You have to know dexterity when holding a brush.
Those are beautiful welds!!! I love you did it all your self and I bet you will remember this day every time you use your new oven :)
I certainly will.
Your enthusiasm is so wonderful to watch! The comment about doing metal art hits home with me as that is definitely something I have dreamed about doing for a very long time. Thanks for this video! It is very inspirational!
+Steven “Shooter11b” Szabo That's so kind of you to say. Thank you. I do love time spent with my brother.

Good job P! You did a better job than some of the pipeline welders at work do, and they do it all day every day.
But I wasn't welding a continuous circle overhead!! But thanks for the encouragement. I think being a painter helps.

WooHoo! Thanks. I have a welder at home, so I'm going to be hitting the scrap yard soon.
Very cool fresh, great job welding. Excited to see that new oven cooking.
Me too. Going together today!!
Real good job Fresh P, I think you had a real good teacher. Thanks
What a GREAT job , you sure are a woman of many talents . I am sure it was hard to start ... BUT you did and that takes strength and fortitude, you have that in spades . I can hardly wait to see what is next. I am sure you could make SERE school.
A fearless LADY! How totally awesome. Great work.
+david ervin Thanks.
Nice job Fresh P. Your Bro is a good teacher. You've encouraged me to learn to weld.
Thomas Ryan, IV How wonderful!
Great Job Fresh P, and cody, you are a great instructor.
For a first time welding you did great, with some more good instruction I'm sure that you will be a fine welder.

Cheers!
Ah I'm so glad we could entertain you for 10 minutes. Enjoy your day.
Thanks, and let me tell you, 10 min of peace in a busy day to just sit and smile while I have my morning coffee is a great way to start my day!
Domo!
I spent close to 5 years as a grinder, I fixed welds and "splatter" constantly, I know a good weld when I see one. You did a great job
I've been welding for around ten years and I can't make my welds look that good! Nice job P!
You're too sweet
WOW You did such an amazing job! You definitely have a talent for welding Corrin, I am so proud of you!
Colin you're the best. Thank you. I'm thinking Garden gate and trellises.
FRESH PRINCESS my thoughts too a nice rustic gate for that great gardens you have created can't hardly wait to see them
This is the second of your videos I've seen. I subsrcribed after the first one with Turbo. I like your attention to detail and what a perfectionist you are. And your love of critters.
Ah you're one of my people. Welcome.
Super cool Fresh P. Love to watch the two of you interact. You're a better welder than I am. Although I've never done it before. Lol
Ah no fair. ;)
Watching this video put a smile on my face and makes me want to weld with my Everlast welder right now!
Nice work! Looking forward to seeing the pizza oven in action!
You two are awesome!! Great welding P and great teaching Wranglerstar!! I have a few projects I need built!!
Thanks Tony. What kind of projects?
She is a natural, I was only 16 when I started welding. And I have to say when only just beginning I was told I did great. And I after 4 years of doing even better welding. With my expertise she is very good at welding.
Dustin Thornton Ah thank you. That's nice to read.
AWSOME job LiL Pretty P !! Those were wonderful welds,not just for a beginner either...
Its clear to me now, the awesomeness gene runs deep through your family
Those were some really nice first welds, P. You made your big bro proud. :)
Ah thanks Myke.
Great welding job! I can't wait to see the finished product.
Me too!
That ain't pretty good! That is AWESOME! 5 years later welding on and off, I can't do what Fresh P did at the end! GREAT JOB!
I bet you could if Cody was your teacher.
:) Thank you.
I'm that "teach it yourself type", so yes, if Cody taught my, I would do better ;) But my welding gets the job done, and it's strong. It don't look pretty though :o)
WOW! I think maybe even I could do a simple project like this! Good Job, Fresh P!!
You totally can!
Nice job! With a little instruction you can do just about anything! Cody is a good teacher.
I've never done MIG (I learned on stick welding and have a TIG now for automotive fabrication, but not chassis work) but I'll tell you what, you have some very nice looking beads there for only having just begun! It's apparent your teacher explained the need for a side to side motion to 'knit' the two pieces together. But to implement that so well with so little practice is exceptional.
Ah thanks Doc. I was surprised that I'd actually get to see the metal melting. I don't know what I expected, but once I saw that it kind of clicked. Cool stuff.
Fresh P, I am amazed by your first time welding skills , and all with a great smile!! Very good ! I guess "skill "runs in your family!!
Ah thanks. We like to learn stuff.
Good job, FP. You did very well indeed, Cody will have you welding like a Pro in no time! Love & Best from Daz (UK) x
Really impressed for a beginner, maybe not perfect but no way it will break, keep it up, you have the making's of a class welder.
David Richards Oh awesome. Thank you for your encouragement.
This was awesome! Fun memories!! The first time I ever welded, was with a stick welder, attempting not to melt away the thin trailer metal my Dad was having me weld. The second time, was figuring out a cheap wire feed mig welder, to fix my snow blower, after the feet ripped out. A lot of spatter, butt the fix held. Tried tig welding, but didn’t spend enough time to really understand what I was doing, & melted my project away.
I know im years late . But WOW you learn fast. Ive just started following your big brother . I have to admit ive been binge watching them .
That's awesome. Enjoy!
Great welds. Although I can't prove it, I believe there's a craftsmanship gene, where we strive to do the best with our skill, knowledge, and materials. I admire that in Cody. Runs in the family. And then there's that which God imparts that gives glory to Him.
+Dana Nelson I think you might be onto something here...there's definitely a perfectionistic gene that seems to run in our family.
years ago I welded a portable blacksmith forge that I have here with me in Chile. The construction of the frame was very similar to yours. You did a good job. Thanks for the vid.
You did a terrific job, your attention to detail shows. Cody has a nice welder
He has all the cool tools.
I half expected to see Turbo running around. Good job on those welds
.
Jack was chick setting outside. I was protecting her eyes/feathers.
Wow is all I can say to that. It took me many many hours to get my welds looking like yours after 1 hour of practice. It's inspiring to watch someone learn something new and be so good at it. It got me thinking what else is out there I could be good at I haven't yet tried. Great video, just subbed hope to see more stuff soon!
ANYTHING you set your heart and mind to! Have you tried sculpting?
FRESH PRINCESS Not really.Sculpting and painting were things I always wanted to try and never got around to. I think I will give them a shot now since I have had some free time recently and tried to figure out what to do with it
Liberate your inner artist!! You can do it.
Amazing job, thank you for sharing. Those welds are something to be proud of.
Thanks!
Welding is such an empowering skill. It's no wonder it's not taught in public schools. Your welds looked really, really good.
It was fantastically inspiring!
Im taking metal fabrication and joining tech at my public vocational school
What a fantastic video and a great effort. I can't weld - and am inspired to learn myself. There is no satisfaction quite like gaining understanding of something new - good job FreshP!
Congrats on your 100 videos as well :)
Thanks BR.
That is so cool that you did that and some good looking welds at the end.
Thanks Pat. It was great.
Impressive welding for a newbie to say the least. I know people that have welded for years and can't run a vertical bead! Great job!
Ah thanks wiredodger!
Good job. I have fun with it too. Its a lot like painting, with electicity as the paint, the gun as your brush, and metal for canvas. All good!
love welding i have been a welder for 7 1/2 years and i will never get bored of it. nice video
No way!!!You are amazing!! welding too... great job....
PiperPhil Thanks Phil. It was such a fun day.
Great job on a great project. This is only the second video of yours I've watched but I can see already you are a stickler for detail and doing it right. THAT'S GOOD! My father always told me "if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right"
Did we have the same father?
;) life is about the details. Thanks for watching.
Heh. My grandfather always said, "A job done good enough, is not good enough." Words to live by.
I know you had some pretty good welding gear but, if that was your first time, you were welding like a boss. Tip-o-the-hat to ye.
You guys work well together. Wish my brothers and sisters lived closer,
Oh I wish they did too. I was so SO happy when they moved closer to me. I LOVE them.
Wow! You did really good! I wish my first welds were as good as yours turned out. I burned through 10 lbs of wire before I was getting some good welds.... It helps having a high quality welder too.
I would think so.
One of the best first welds I have seen. As a tradesman I actually work with a few lady tradesmen/women. Women are increasingly leaving their mark in all trades particularly electrical, welding, and the machining trades. I think (my humble opinion) is that ladies are naturally more patient than men and keep more attention to detail? Anyway great job P. Any interest in going professional?
I love reading this. I search out lady surgeons/doctors for this same reason. Thanks for the kudos, being an artist helps. No pro welding in my future but I have been remodelling so it may come in handy one of these days.
Well keep up the welding(if you can). Be great to see some metal art. I have the machining /welding skills but lack the artistic ability. Always been a little envious of folks who can create things in their head and then make it happen. Anyway great job! Cheers Kev
Great job! Welds look good.
A great skill to learn. Thank you for sharing your journey.
It was so cool. I loved it. You're welcome.
You have done well Fresh P. Some beautiful welds there.
I have some proffesional Millwrights that are having trouble mastering the skill of welding.
I can only imagine what your culinary creations will taste like.
I enjoyed these videos
Thankyou,
Millwright.
Okay Cody lets see you cook some pizza on the forge. LOL.
Ive never witnessed someone smile this much while welding. Forget beauty through make-up and fancy hair products! - for a good, healthy looking contagious smile, welding works better if!
+Jonathan Cook you're so sweet. My brother makes me smile.
Wow! Very very impressive welds.
Very good for a first time welder. Must have some natural talent and a good teacher.
I think it was my teacher.
Pretty darn good for a first time welding!
It would seem that your entire Family is very talented. Remarkable welds for a newcomer,
+Mark Enna Thanks Mark.
I'm no professional welder, but those are some very good looking welds for your first time! Great job!
Fresh P you did an awesome job!
Yay Boatman, thanks!
Nice Work and a great project.Well done.
Thanks Has.
Wow...I'm impressed.......Your vertical welds look better than mine.
propellanttech Thank you.
wow...those are amazing welds for a first timer. You had a great coach. Also must be a pretty good welding rig.
+Matthew Wheaton thank you. I had solid instructions.
Great work, Corrin!! Really proud of you. (Cody sent me to this link and says "Hi"!) You can come weld for me ANYTIME! You are a fantastic "student", who is motivated, enthusiastic and learns FAST! I'd be glad to have you in any of my Bible classes! LOL!!
What a beautiful offer. I studied philosophy, I'm a good albeit rebellious student ;)
Very nice. Welding is a usefull skill. Like any skill, the more you do it, the better you get. Keep on crafting.
Thanks. I plan to. I loved it.
Great job Corrin! That's a stand fit for a queen! (or princess)
Oh good. I sat on it. seemed to hold just fine ;)
Im impressed! Those welds werent bad at all!
It looks awesome! Great job!
Thanks LOVE GEEK!
Great job, always great to get out of your "comfort zone" to learn new things,,
Outside your comfort zone is where the 'magic' happens. I LOVE that saying. So agree.
Tx for the video... I have been wanting to learn how to weld for years.
You'll dig it.
Great job!! This was a fun video to watch
Oh good. Welcome.
hi i just found your channel from MR W, so glad i did! great work with the bees!
Awesome. Welcome.
I'd love to have such a good teacher as the one you have ! I personnaly have a welding post at home I gathered from my grandad and I'm only waiting for someone to teach me ^^
I bet you could start after watching this video a couple times.
FRESH PRINCESS I guess I'll do so ! My gear is quite different though ... ^^ Doesn't look as easy, but what's more challenging give you more pleasure when you finally succeed !
Well said.
Very good job. Those wire welders are great!
Those welds look great! As for not getting shocked, at the company where I learned to MIG weld, if you touched the grounded metal table without a glove, you would get a shock. The equipment may have been set up wrong, causing this condition, but I quickly learned not to touch the metal table without gloves!
Great job! You have a very good teacher! I want to learn too. One day...
I'm afraid to watch after the last time Cody was showing you that wonderful Fiskars axe 😂😂😂
i think fresh P should pursue her dream of metal art and become the metal expert of the family!
:)
FRESH PRINCESS the art i cannot help you with but here is the isbn# for a book that will get you going on the steel :) (just search the number below)
