Welcome to a new Tig Welding video in my series, where in this episode, you can hang with me as I give a rundown of how I set my gear up for getting a perfect weld, and how you can do it using whatever machine you've got at your shop as well. We take a break from doing Tig Welding Art, but go over the hugely important stuff of how to set up your rig properly, and some common things to troubleshoot when doing so. Don't worry, back to the Welding Art next week.
I also show you, another super top secret...super secret... of how I spiff my finished welds up to make them look really shiny. (LINK TO THE POLISH I USE HERE)

Let's goooooo
Do you LOVE Tig Welding Art, as much as I LOVE Tig Welding Art?!
Welding artwork?! Metal Art Welding?! Anything related to Welding Art?! Me trying to be a Welding Artist...
My channel is all about Tig Welding. But more specifically, Tig Welding Art, and lemme tell ya, when it comes to Tig Welding, I get a special kind of excited when I get to take all the experience Ive had over 18 years with Welding, and get to blast on some Tig Welding Art.
I wanted to make a channel that's all about Tig Welding, but also get into the fun and Art side of making Welding Artwork. So, join me on my channel as I come up with Welding Art Projects and film and show the FUN of Tig Welding Aluminum, Tig Welding Steel, and Tig Welding Stainless Steel, to the world.
For more videos on Tig Welding Aluminum Tips, Tig Welding For Beginners, as well as How To Tig Weld videos, Aluminum Tig Welding Tutorials, and breakdowns, please subscribe and follow me on Instagram and Facebook, LOTS OF WELDING VIDEOS TO COME!

what happens if you use the polish to clean the aluminum before you weld it?
a video on how to get textured ripples and how to get smooth ripples on aluminum beads. Also i didnt hear what alloy filler rod you were using.
This guy is really genuine and not trying to sell you some thing for teaching. Doing it free and not hidden corners and setting
🙏🙏🙏
Us welders have comradery and respect for each other! We are supposed to share our knowledge with each other! Merica!
I've been tig welding for a couple of months now but mostly on mild steel pipe. when I started aluminum yesterday, I shocked the instructors and other students bc I already knew so much just from watching your videos. I recommend you to everybody looking for tig welding tips!
Woah! This is awesome! I appreciate you sharing this, have fun welding and thank you for watching!🙏
I’m in school just started TIG last week. My welds were frosty looking and I realized I was long arcing. Once i got in closer to my puddle my welds started looking nice and shiny!
Nice! Good on you for noticing that yourself! Big win 💪💪💪💪
You don't need ANY music, I came for the welding tutorials which are top notch, by the way!
Nice thank you!
Good stuff man! I took fabrication classes like 7 years ago and forgot some of this stuff so this was a nice refresher without having to hit the books. Thanks!
I’m a tig welder and since I’ve found your channel man you’ve helped tune my welding skills for the better. Thank you man!
Hell yeah! Comprehensive and easy to understand intro to aluminum Tig. Keep them coming Dusty. Huge fan of what you are doing here. Great tip with the mothers polish. 🔥👍🏼🔥
Thank you brother! Sneaky little trick hey? Gotta keep em lookin sharp for the Gram! 😂
I’ve been tig welding stainless and carbon. Never in my life messed with aluminum but I was asked if I could tig weld aluminum handrails. Gathering information from what you just shared, I believe I can make it work. Thanks!
Glad you stopped the bead… then started again.. great to see how to start again where you left off on the bead. Thank you for the info. Learned to weld in another country in another language so still learning.
Great videos! I am along time journeyman welder, good solid tips here, and good explanations of the concepts of tig welding, well done ,
Cheers thanks so much! Happy you enjoyed and thank you for checking the vid out!🙏
The arc cone that the torch produces looks so beautiful!
Thanks for sharing Dusty. I'm taking a Tig class here in Fairbanks, Alaska for another week. I love watching your videos for additional help that I don't get! We're doing aluminum and SS atm
Great video it's the only one I have seen that explains the machine setting in great detail, Just bought the same machine UK version this was a great help to get me started.
Nice! Happy to help:) My newer episodes are a little more streamlined and with some good tips for setup:) Cheers and thanks for watching 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing basic knowledge you share, that for a beginner like me make a world of difference, please explain the settings for stainless steel welding.
I bought a Syncrowave 250 20 years ago to weld aluminum. All I ever have been able to do with it is make nice steel welds. My aluminum welding has been nothing but an exercise in frustration and failure. Until now! Your videos have been the magic bullet to getting things set up and cleaned up properly. I still suck but I`m now moving forward each day and feel like things are now coming together. Thank you!
Another great video Dusty. I will probably have to watch this one several times. Lots of great info.
Cheers Greg! I’m gonna redo this one sometime soon. Not totally happy with the final vid. Always good to update:)
Your a gifted teacher Dusty ,, so easy to follow even for simpletons like my self ..lol
No such thing as a simpleton! Just someone who hasn’t become a master yet! :)
ive got to say since watching your videos my stainless welding has improved beyond belief no more grey crusty weld still practicing improving every day keep up the good work 😃
Thank you!!! I recently picked aluminum TIG welding back up after nearly 10 years and I was able to refresh my knowledge quickly and effectively thanks to your video 😁
Where you work Ariana
Right on. Can't wait to start the course next month....cheers..
Awesome breakdown of the technical aspects of setups and settings. Thankyou so much❤️🔥… hella thorough.👩🏼🏭🤘
Great video! That whitish area around the weld is the cleaning action (set with balance) from the positive side of the AC blowing up through the oxide layer.
Thanks for checking out my vid! Appreciate that a lot:) I have a habit of calling that zone the wrong thing😂 My bad🍻
Great video, very informative, amazing skill, imo the music was ok. Props for answering most of the comments! Cheers from Argentina!
Argentina nice! Thanks so much for the message! And glad you enjoyed! RUclips mixed the music super high on this one for some reason, I feel bad it’s a bit loud and obnoxious 😂 But I’m glad to hear from everyone about what works etc. It’s how I’m gonna learn!
Hope things are well where you are!🙏
Cheers from Canada
Nice vid thanks for the great info. Well spoken and presented without been too over the top with info overload. Starting tig after wanting to weld ali for years. Fun to work with 😎
Awesome! Super happy to hear you’re going to give it a go! Glad I could help you in any way:)
Cheers
Cheers bro, you have helped fix my AC balance issues.
I've just discovered your channel and really enjoying it so far. Gotta echo everyone's else's comments (sorry) about the music!
You seem like a very genuine dude too which always makes these sorts of channels much better. Keep it up mate
Ha thanks Daniel:) I think you’ll notice the music is much more background in the newer episodes, so I do listen!😂 But I really appreciate the kind words and you checking my vids out!
Cheers
I enjoy watching you weld and you are really informative
Thanks for all the tips mate.
Awesome demo man!!!
More in-depth videos like this. I love it
You are a good teacher. Thanks.
Very informative, new fan. Practice practice practice, seriously, speaking for myself!! Tuning in your machine to your liking. Learning about, like you said hertz,Amp, Volts, I'm still learning after 20 years, lol.
Definitely agree on the keep the tungsten clean point. I usually sharpen a bunch so it’s easy to just slap a fresh one in the moment the arc starts to misbehave. Gas lens on aluminum though.. it’s pretty much the only metal I never use a lens for.
Good to have an arsenal ready to rock...!💪I love the term ‘misbehave.’😂
Great video’s. You’re very easy to understand and I want to keep on watching. You don’t need the music though. It would be perfect if we just heard you. Cheers
I'm new to tig welding and I have a new machine I'm sure these settings are going to help me alot thanks.
Cheers Justin, have fun!
coolest welding channel I found so far - most of them are boring and feels like back to school type of videos - keep up the great work man 👍👍👍
Love the mothers polish tip!!!
Nice! Always a sneaky one to flash them up a bit for the camera!;)
Excellent teaching video. Thanks Man! The music is OK with me and it doesn't piss me off like some short bus videos I've seen.
Great advice and tips!
How is it that you’re good at the technical and the welding at the same time! Aaahhhhh you’re killing me with the perfect row of dimes every time.
Lazer! I admire your talent.
Great video, and A+ on the mothers polish!
Very nice work.
Great videos for beginners like me.something i learned by myself.be sure the cooper piece that hold the electrode and the cup is tight.i use a players because if you hand tigh will come loose when you tight the back part to secure the electrode and the arc will be all over the place
so well explained 👍🏻thank you
Very helpful thanks!
yea the music would be dope at a club, but...love your teaching ability man, thank you, i'm embarking on a aluminum journey you will steady the way :)
Amazing Jeff! It’s a blast. Slow gains and lots of tedious practice for sure, but it’s worth it:) And yes, the music is too loud in this one. My newer vids have it just for intro and end wrap up, I’m still learning how to package my vids:) Always a student! I really appreciate you checking it out tho! Cheers Jeff!
thank you! I leaned a lot!
First time watcher. Long time listener! Great stuff right there!!!!
Thank you so much brother!
Thank you, very helpful!
Nice lesson, thanks
Thanks dude the vid was super helpful and informative
Really good tip with mothers polish thank's
Nice! Go show off them money welds! 💪🔥
nice vid bro cool to see the cannaweld!! excited about that review vid, i was eyeballing that ended up with a primeweld it was a decent machine for the money. i sold it not long ago and bought a syncrowave. its a straight beast
Nice! Synchros are great machines from what I’ve heard. The review is out next week actually! Just finished editing it this morning! It’s a long one! But super stoked to share
If anyone is interested in gas flow look up the difference between turbulent flow and laminar flow; gas lenses and cups help create laminar flow (w/o weld spatter on the inside of the cup) where as conventional collet bodies and cups (and when weld spatter is present on the inside of the cup) have a more turbulent flow. Thank you so much for making this video Dusty!
Great video on Tig welding aluminum I just started to learned on my own and this definitely helped on what I had set wrong on my machine I wish I could just send in a pic of my weld on Instagram and see what you think is going wrong.but good job and keep it up sir!!!!!!
Hey! What kind of problems are you having? Instagram is probably the fastest way to get me, but either there or here is good:)
Ledgend!! Thank you bo!
Your timing is fantastic. I've got a bit more practice with my powertig to go before I get dimes that uniform.
Thank you so much! That's great- it'll come soon I bet. It's kind of one of those things, that after a certain amount of practice, things kind of just "click." Then after that it's usually just a matter of keeping things going and learning all the little nuances of heat/filler rod balance, and then all the other fun variables. Let me know how it's going!
Cheers!
Those beads are beautiful
Useful tips brother keep it up!
Nice work and excellent explanation.
Cheers my friend 🙏
Cool stuff
love all of your content ---- 👍😎👍
Cheers and thank you so much Joel!
Great job. I can't find the head to head canaweld vs everlast video. I personally have a Dynasty 400 in my home shop. You are a skilled young man. Great videos kind sir! I subscribed and hit the bell
Thank you! I appreciate that a lot. Happy to be able to share some of my stuff to help anyone out there:) cheers from Vancouver Island 🤙
Excellent stop and start...you stopped on purpose to show off...hahaha... Your video is so complete that I can say.... Best ever . Jody and mr tig should learn from you
Thank you!
Glad I found your channel. Been tigin’ for long time but always looking for good genuine tips Like the Mothers.
Also: Do you use 1/8” lanth mostly? I do. Even on thin aluminum It keeps me from sharpening and doesn’t erode as quickly like thinner 3/16”. It’s a really good tip !
I didn’t think would have much impact on my welding but boy was I wrong.
Just found you channel, SUBSCRIBED! Really appreciate you clear narration and video. And I was interested to see your use of an ADF attached to a phone to shoot the welding closeups. Still too much contrast to see the puddle clearly, but MUCH BETTER than what I've seen on many other welding videos. Thinking about learning to weld, and definitely would like to be able to weld aluminum eventually. So now I'm doing my homework to decide which welder to buy and am finding video like this that provide great instruction and tips. I'm not sure how long it would take to be able to make use of this videos information, but at least I'll have it for when I'm ready!
I didn't find the music super distracting, my suggestion would be to lower the music volume more relative to the narration so it fades into the background during voice-over segments.
Amazing! I’m happy you dig the vid! I’ve got quite a few now to provide some better breakdowns of specific things. This was just one generic vid (with the music mixed too loud I’ll admit) that got picked up, and am happy to see people who enjoy it! Please hit me up on IG with any questions at all!
Cheers my friend
Post flow helps with keeping my tungsten clean for a long time on aluminum
Dude that mothers trick was Rad!!!!
Haha! Isn’t that money!? Don’t mean to brag😂 But when I figured that one out I was like ooooohhhhhhh boy I got a new trick!😂
And it makes me immensely happy to share it with other people to get them showing off their welds too!
Nice !
Respect ....
So clean
Cheers my friend!
good stuff man, keep em coming!!
Thank you so much 🍻 More to come:)
I wrote home to my momma showing my tig welds. She boi, youz betta get some practice!!
😂😂😂
Hi Dan, Great video, you are very focused and clear. I am learning aluminum and just read in comment that you use 2% lanthinated on the tungsten electrode . How about the filler is there a big impact on results for different Al alloys?
Thanks!
Great video. I would like to see a video about tungstens. What kind of stone to use and what not to use to sharp it them and why. Mainly how to go about sharpening a tungsten.
Hey! I kind of did a bit of these ideas in a previous episode, ruclips.net/video/SwdREabxSgE/видео.html
But I could go into detail a bit more for sure:)🙏
Awesome
Great video bro.
Thanks
Thanks Mario! Cheers my friend!
Dude, looks like you've been welding a long time, that was a very helpful video. When you show the A/C balance being too positive, the arc cone(?) looks like it's dancing all over the place even before the tungsten ball starts fluttering. Is that because the arc distance is too large, or is that also a side effect of positive bias? That is the number one thing I'm contending with right now, and I can't seem to nail it.
I love your channel. The background music is annoying when I am trying to listen to your thoughts and instruction, but will continue to listen. Nice content.
I love it
You better tack that weld to the plate before it falls off! It’s so smooth, it can’t stick to the plate! 😂. Lol. Seriously that’s awesome 👏 👏👏😊👍👍
great tips thanks .
Absolutely 🙏 glad you enjoyed!
Cheers
Aluminium with in i between the Alumin and um xD. Love this content thanks for creating it and share your knowledge! We can really use it ^^.
Great video!!! Subscribed!!!
Thanks man! I really appreciate that!🙏
Thank you
Thank you for sharing your great talents!
The minute we tell you who we work for is the minute that you argon. Weld done.
Man i don't know why but every time you laugh on your videos i laugh too 🤣🤣, also i love the tip & tricks, subscribed
Thanks that is nice l would like to learn Aluminium welding as well
Nice bro! Also love the shirt! The cross baby!!!
Ha yeah thanks a ton!
Hi, i just watched your video and it’s informative. How to hook up the torch to the machine? What does it come out for the torch needle?
Thank you
very nice welding
Peter thank you 🍻🙏
Omg! Polishing the weld!! What a cheesy idea haha!! When I have decent dab intervals I’m doing this!! Lol
It’s cheeky as hellllllllllllllll😂 But gatdangit doesn’t it look good!? Your stuff will look awesome for sure 🍻
Great I appreciate the settings info! I like the music over just the hum of the welder. What tungsten did you use?
Hey thanks! I get ripped a lot for my music tastes, so that’s refreshing to hear😂
My typical setup will be a 3/32” on my inverter with a 2% lanthanated.
I’ll use a Ceriated also, either is cool with me:)
Cheers!
Really helpful video, thanks! I’m curious about the amp settings for the +ve and -ve amps - I just bought a new machine and I can set the amps for positive and negative sides independently, as well as the balance and pulse. Do you have any suggestions for settings?
I usually always starts around %75 on the negative side, then depending on the job I’ll tweak it accordingly to what I’m trying to narrow down:) Glad you got some value from the vid! Cheers!
@@PacificArcTigWelding so with a positive setting of ~100 amps you'd go with ~75 for the negative? Seems weird that it's of any value to change the amps relative to one another when you can change the balance, which has kinda the same effect anyway.
Do you have any tips or tricks on how to tig weld aluminum on a vertical surface? Awesome videos by the way!
Your content was very good and you did a great job of explaining the processes as you demonstrated. One thing I would like point out is that sometime you got so into the presentation that you started talking too fast. It was like you were super excited but it made it tough catching all you were saying. Finally I want to point out that the music in the background was annoying. Overall the content was great you pointed out a few things I have never heard and that made the video valuable to me.
Glad you got some good info from it! I appreciate the feedback 🍻
Another awesome video! I've been struggling with aluminum 😂
Hey thank you! Glad you dig! It’s alllll about the setup...! Makes the welding part so much easier when you know you’ve got things dialled💪
What are you stuck on? Hit me up with any questions!
@@PacificArcTigWelding should I hit you up on Instagram?
@@cooperastro2690 Yeah absolutely!

We'll go from there!
