In this video, I fixed some cold welds on a gate.
after grinding out the cold welds, I used 3/32" 6011 rods to re weld.

Can you imagine finding a guy who does welding repairs and then seeing Jody walk up?
Was gonna comment the same thing!
You would be thinking,, I can't afford this lol
Way better than the good hands people for sure!!
My thought exactly! It's just a gate repair, but here comes the best and he brings video equipment to document his work! These are the real world jobs that we need to know how to do correctly. I would like to see more of these!
😂😂
Wisest words my mentor ever said, “never judge bad welds. The differences between you and them, is they got the job and did it while you sat at home thinking about it. If your welds are better then why aren’t you advertising?”
I always enjoy some real life repairs in the field.
I work at a feedlot in South Dakota. We just built a new loading chute, and we use 6011 on everything. Our pipe fences and everything. We did a lot of downhill on that chute. I had never run a Miller bobcat before that project, but I got a lot of hours with one now. I want to thank you for all the videos! I always come back to these for technique tips. You've definitely helped me improve a ton!
I started out with 6011 rods back in 1962. Learned a tremendous amount about welding with that rod. Recommend every welder use and learn 6011 / 6010 rods. Welding instructors use a lot of 7018 rods so the students like the appearance of their welds. I personally think that’s a mistake for new welding students.
Great video! My first little side hustle was these exact type of repairs on railings and gates back in high school. I just had a little 110 volt Millermatic and a soda fountain CO2 bottle in the back of my old pickup. The right age neighborhood was a goldmine for these quick little repairs, especially since they use salt for ice melt in my neck of the woods.
lol Yep, it was a 225 thunderbolt in the Airco orange for me at our little mechanic shop . We had a customer from Portland wrestling bring in their portable ring truck with the worst welds in history holding all of the rails and hardware to the walls and I started by repairing hundreds of welds in that thing . Good thing it was windy outside the shop, because it was all galvanized ... Holding my breath was a big deal most of the time, but got the galvanized flu (galvanize poisoning) one time . A big learning experience for me . Not fun for a day or two . I watch your channel a lot too Tim . Good content . :)
Thanks Tim.
I’ve welded down hill for years. Never had ANY of it come back. Works just fine like you said for the correct application.
Cheers brother
When I welded my goosneck hitch on downhill the experts had a cow. It has been many years and tens of thousands of miles no signs of any issues.
I love the stories of old rods shouldn't be used. I found some old Lincoln 1/8" 6011 rods awhile back that I had bought back in 1971. Thought I'd run them to see how well they ran and penetrated. You couldn't tell the difference between them or new rods. I was truly amazed at how well they ran. Just think they had been laying there in that half full closed tube just waiting for me to find them.
I haven't run stick in a very long time. I started on a Lincoln AC tombstone with 6011, fifty two years ago. Thanks for the video.
I loved the caterpillar reference!
Short-legged caterpillars running light on traction!
Learned more from you than anyone else on the internet. Keep up the good work. Just don’t let it go to your head. 😂😁
I don't care who you are, you're going to learn SOMEthing from Jody . I'm in your same boat, in the last decade or so I learned most of my improvements from Jody . He's probably made millions of welders improve leaps and bounds . :)
Thank you Jody!
Love these short, real world welding videos.
Jody thanks again for the teaching,I came back into welding because of your videos.
I’m a structural welder and it goes against everything I’ve been taught not to weld down hill lol but ive done repairs on thin metal like this and down hill does good job with 6011
Hello Mr. Jody, as always, short video, but excellent information. Salutes from El Paso Texas.
I liked that practical example with stick in the field - very cool.
Crappy gate weld? GODFATHER? My lucky day!👨🏭
Bless Not a professional welder; however, I learn enough from a pro to know 6011s are a great rod. Did many fab jobs with 6011 & they're still holding. Enjoy your videos. Thanks 😊
I love repair videos. Great job.
well done , I have been working (welding)on gates for 41 years and 6011 mild steal rods have saved the day a lot of times I get them in 1/8 and 3/32 , Thanks for your videos always enjoy watching
First time your Channel’s had pictures of welds like mine on it 😅
Bought a used mig, went to house asked if I could try it first. Showed me some proud cold welds he did. Did a good hot weld, set fire to his work bench a tiny bit, 😂 and bought it for $80.
15 years welding, never tried 6011down, thanks for sharing.
Property value just increased exponentially
Thank you Jody! Exactly right about downhill👍👍! When the “GODFATHER” of welding, says so,IT’S SO!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Late 70’s and 80’s we used to have “6012”.Never see it anymore. What happened to that rod? As I think back, it wasn’t bad at all for small jobs.
Glad your making videos again. Always quality and straight to the point.
Nice work Jody. The hinges on that gate will fail before your welds break.
*A slag hammer might've cleaned away that old weld.*
More vids like this please! Thanks!
I use 6011's all the time with my older buzz box welder but will have to check it out on the Prime 180 I bought. I primarily just use it for Mig and it's been one of the best one's I've owned for that type of weld.
Jody, I never get bored watching your video's. Thank you so much for this one.. Helps me a lot, I have lots of 6010, but no 6011 (for now)
Thanks for sharing sir.
Amazing video. Even such an ordinary task could be a useful lesson if it is done by the godfather of welding!
Nice work! For me, the titanium easy flux 125 has been the go to for welding with 110v. It'll do some serious work for a small machine.
I always tend to grab a 6011 at work over a 6010 and run the DCEN.
They seem to be a little less violent if that makes any sense.
I used to repair lots of old Gates Fences and Railings when I was still in Germany we also restored old Railings etc.
Looks great yes you can weld downhill even uphill welds fail when not done properly
Whuppin' on it a little! As always, nice work sir.
I like these videos, being out in the field, even if its a small gate fix job! thanks
I suspect those welds where mig. 6013 downhill works very well on very thin material leaving a very small weld. Outrun the slag.
Many multi welders won't even run 6011.
Small inverter, 6011, great for repairs.
We did a lot of downhill welding on pipelines. Always Xrayed. It works.
Jody is the best!
Fronius has a wonderful welder that's battery and is awesome for jobs like this we have them in our powerplant for emergent work sticks and tigs will weld with 1/8 in rod we love it throw it on your shoulder and go
I'd love to see Jody test out some of the Fronius welders. I really want him to show the 2200C on aluminum, especially since you don't need a spool gun.
I always learn something watching your videos! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for doing this video. At times I only have access to 115v to make small repairs like In your video.
Love the real world setting ❤
Usually those who says you cant weld downhill, doesnt even know how to weld
Thanks very much for this video you never stop learning until you hit six feet
Good video as usual.I’ve found that 6011 is a good rod for welding over painted or dirty materials that you can’t clean with a wire wheel,then you can cap with 7018
Great video with lots of useful information!!
Your content is always the best - really appreciate the finer detailed points, like how you talked about why you chose what you did versus other options. It's always hard to find the "why" from people, compared to other options available. Also, the fact that you did the welds at home to get those beautiful arc shots was awesome, and even strength tested it too. Thank you!
I really enjoy these project videos!
Thanks Jody, an excellent repair job.
Thanks for the great information and lessons Jody. Seen a lot of welds like that come undone. Your weld won't come undone though. Stay safe and Happy Holidays ahead for you all. Fred.
Beautiful work. And very informative! You explain things clearly amd have a great voice for narration.
Great tips as usual 😅
I laid those fence welds years ago 😂 gotta be mine, those welds look alittle better than my southeastern cattipillers. I’m with you ima fan of the 6011 cause how it fast freezes, plus I find using 6010 with a red rod I can literally vaporize whatever I’m trying to weld and 6011 seems to make way cleaner catipillars for me 😂
Super réparation.
Merci
Great lil welds sir!!!! 👨🏾🏭🤙🏿
Hey Jody, I'm the guy who used to fuss about your audio being too hot--and of course it still is on the very old stuff (I unsubbed for a year or five). That was so long ago--you were only selling Tig Fingers and nothing else IIRC. Now you've got the big store, and school, and a zillion subs!
Glad I came back around to find good audio on your always excellent commentary and arc shots. I just became a Primeweld Customer: I've got a PW TIG325 and a plasma cutter on order--and thinking about the spool gun/MIG setup here-for a super portable unit. The 25' extension cord from PW should help move a little machine to the work. Good on your success Jody, keep on melting metal and teaching the trade. Your Weldmonger gloves are great, and I had to order more TIG fingers because I've misplaced those I got years ago.
These are the videos I like.
That was Quick and Fun....Thank You...!!!
Jody is to welding what Hank Hill is to propane 😅
Thanks Jody!
Thanks Jody
Great video, thank you Sir 😁👍
Thank you sir, very helpful video.
Nice town by the looks of it
6013 downhill is great for super thin sheet metal welding... and that's a bout it. Just thought I'd throw that practical use out there. Also apparently in the UK they weld low pressure pipe with 6013 cap welds. If it holds it holds. It's also acceptable under code, so pretty much like you said in this video me welding for 15 plus years at this point, the haters can kick the rocks.
When I see welds like the ones you were greeted with, I think I could become a better than average welder pretty quickly.
Thank you.
good video nice place
Good job!
Thank you!❤
Sizden çok şey öğrendim. Tşk.
When the weld gods smile on me I can get old 8010 pipeline rod cheap. It welds any direction like a dream for me with an AC or DC machine. I just can't ever find enough of it used. I use 6011 for most everything except something that is really going to see hard stress when I can't find any used 8010.
That's probably the prettiest whooping maul I've ever seen at the end of this video
4:23 some people just believe they know it all. Why/when welding downhill, uphill, push or pull - it all depends on which construction, material and so on. People need to stop and say never do this or never do that when it comes to welding, what's important is to plan ahead on how it NEED to be done.
I challenge these people to MIG uphill on 1mm aluminium with just as good results as downhill.
Thank you
My 1104 I was told required 6010 down hill
Here in Europe I use the 6013! Bohler Aws E42 0 RC it has cellulose coating on
I agree with you, that light stuff, 6011 down hill
Sometimes i weld downhill with 7018, bump up amperage 1,5-2x and pointing downwards to remove the slag.
Fake up welding bye strong point is best for me on that type of work
2,5 mm rutile stick 🤗
Good job🧑🏭
Crappy welds you say? You should have seen the ones I ended up with when I repaired my son's gates when he moved into his new home 😊. I returned the next weekend and fixed them the best I could.
I have always been a MiG and Tig guy. Man I tried stick with 6011 and 7018 not I sucked. Lol just going to practice more.
Are you sure that is a twenty amp circuit? It is a fifteen amp outlet which of course is not made to pull a full twenty through. Always enjoy your videos. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Those look like "MIG" = "Anybody Can Weld" welds. (Justin, TFS reference)
Nice video Do you know of anybody that makes 90° angle clamps That will do up to 4 in
Bohler do a 6013 I think they're called bohler fox 6013s which you can run downhill. I've used them for lots of thin gauge repairs on big machine casings and such 👍
I’m surprised you didn’t fix those sooner. Woulda bothered me something fierce
Just a few days ago I watched Jody show what happens when you don't use enough heat or front of puddle welding over mill scale - this!
If you can learn to weld with a 8010 it is a fantastic downhill rod that is very strong and more flexible than 6010/6011
But it is harder to learn
7018 downhill on a corner looks awesome. Just long arc it and bring a bucket for the slag. It's good if you didn't bring any other sticks and it doesn't really have to hold anything.
@@davejenkins7909 duck tape
@@davejenkins7909 I use it for plugging the ends of a square tube for an example. It's just there so water doesn't get in. I could glue the plate, but I'm usually not carrying glue around and the guys at the factory probably wouldn't appreciate it.
It should hold. As long as you don’t put any weight against it and it’s not in a windy location.
Was removing the lock mechanism not an option? Getting metal debris in there would worry me about a failure shortly after repair. Covering the openings would probably do the trick too though. After the job, an air blast from a compressor then spraying a solvent like WD40 to clean anything out and then followed up with a spray lithium grease for metal on metal like this application would be good insurance to prevent a call back.
6013 can and will be ran downhill, that’s what it designed for also, I’ve welded a lot of thin gauge metal on shipping containers with 6013 down hill
ух как мне приятно слышать перевод в ии и понимать что ты говоришь) желаю тебе крепкого здоровья и ясного ума, мастер
all the gates I made I worked with the 7018 or 7010 electrode the thickness of the electrode was 2.5 and they performed much better on the construction of which this gate is and I would recommend everyone to work with the base which gives a much stronger and stronger and stronger weld than the rutile electrode which gives a nice but very weak and ductile weld
What should one charge for a repair like this?
“There’s lots of ways to skin a cat” 😂
Where can I get some of those rods
I have 1/8" 6011 alongside 7018, 6010, and 7014. What gigs can I do with these rods with my S7 Welder?
Hi sir, I'm your follower from Indonesia, here welding often uses LB52 or E7016 welding wire from root to cap, please give me tips for working on the 5G position. Thank you sir.
That kind of weld will last forever 🎉
