Great video bro ! , Pipeline welder here and still watch videos about welding In my spare time lol. Around the 13:15 mark you can see your ground arcing out , I always clean the slag so it can sit directly onto the metal it really messes with these newer machines especially the ones that are trying to sense the arc (pipe pros and the Mp from Lincoln ) Saludos
Yes sir. Slight bevel. I beveled way too much but we still managed to make it work. Throats you need a steep bevel and ears not so much as the torch will do most of the work.

Where are you blowing holes brother? Is it seamed pipe? What amps are you using? I’m using 1/8” 6010 around 85-95 for root 8010 5/32” around 125-135 amps brother. But my pipe was a scd 80. Close to 375 wall. It’s a lot more forgiving on root and hot pass.
@@VantageWelding I was running 7018 at around 110 amps 1/8 then I dropped down to 3/32 but I had already down a root pass. It’s just a little project for the weld school I’m in nothing that needs to shoot but I’d like to do it right
@@brodyrhode9064 keep running them 3/32 brother. If you’re blowing though a saddle chances are it’s too thin, excessive grinding, or maybe too high of voltage and staying too long in one spot. 3/32 is king for a weld like that specially since your still in school brother. No need too rush into 1/8. Truth be told, out in the field you can run 3/32 just as fast as you can with 1/8” rod in smaller pipe. The rod size starts making a difference when you start to get into heavier wall and bigger pipe.
I appreciate you bro. Fabrication is king bro. Like my boy hector said. Welding will get you a check. Reading a tape will keep you employed. That’s a quote to live by. Fabricating>>>
I am definitely not a pipe welder I've done a few small pipe fitting jobs and can make it look ok, I've never taken any kind of pipe test, and for some reason i was thinking the branch was supposed to tie in to the inside of the pipe which blew my freaking mind. I'm glad i was wrong about that. I don't know why i thought that lol it looks almost like an olet weld. Which makes more sense 😵💫
"Demand better pay etc." Great theory Ol' Mate. Good luck there. I started getting formal welding lessons from 1971 onwards, and around 1980 I started to get some $ recognition for my abilities,. The drilling and mining sectors are some of the few places that can afford to pay good welders something like the money that they should get payed. I could really have a nice ol' rant here, but I'm pretty mellow these days. My main point is, anyone who does a job well, should get paid well. Oh, and another point, I appreciate your making these "no bullshit " videos. The video quality is great, and you use everyday, easy to understand language.
Wish i chose welding as a career path. I hate sitting in an office at a desk listening to patient complaints and keep a quality hospital. 10yrs nursing. Current quality control director. Blah. Boring stuff. My brother are all trades workers. They all weld like my dad. Me, office rat. Lol. Idk one thing about it. But, looks fun burning rods.
You have to follow weld procedure brother. I wish I knew the answer as to why you can’t. But I don’t. All I know is if you weld clean you will be 100% good
Yeah bro. On the throats it was a simple pause whip puse. And on the ears where I needed a bit more metal I was pausing more up top. And doing kind of like a slight side ways j motion if that makes any sense.
Nice cap man. Do you think it would of been possible to weld a third bead on the top of the cap using a 3/32” electrode? Could of possibly helped with the issues you had at you top toe of the 2 nd pass and got an nice transition into the top pipe? Or is an 1/8” electrode the minimum you can use on this procedure? Nice vid and nice work. Keep ‘em coming
Instead of using the 6010 1/8” rods as you said for tight spots on that hot pass…… use 1/8” 8010 pipeliner rods, they make em 🤷♂️……. Just sayin….. still wouldn’t suggest sayin anything to an inspector
They do brother. And you are very correct. That is a killer tip, thanks for your suggestions. My very first video on here was putting a root in with a 80101 rod lol
Yes sir. In a real life situation I don’t recommend a cheap ground like I had here. It was the only ground clamp I had as the other rotted out due to corrosion. I need to replace it. Thanks for your observation. 🙌🙌🙌. Thanks for watching budd.

For any new guys @16:03 when he mentions a metabo blade usually that just means a cut off wheel.

Great job 👏
Learned a lot from this video bro , you think you can follow up with a 6010/7018 branch?
You’d probably won’t run into one of those unless you’re putting a bead in with 7016 bro.

Nope nope and nope. Try again 😂😂
I’ve literally been busted on a branch test for this. 🤷♂️
@weekendwarrior4271 😂😂😂😂
Goood stufffff

Any reason you can’t use 1/8 6010 on the hot pass? Would most branch test just have 6010 root and the rest HYP or 8010?

Nice vid thx!
Hey another good one . On the last cap did you have the electrode aiming more towards the top of the pipe & then let gravity build the weld up ?
Yeah bro. On the throats it was a simple pause whip puse. And on the ears where I needed a bit more metal I was pausing more up top. And doing kind of like a slight side ways j motion if that makes any sense.
