I just want to thank you for your videos. I haven’t taken any courses for welding but have a lot of applications for the skill. Just watching your videos has helped me learn how to weld and saved me so much money. You are great at what you do and the way you have your videos set up is so informational. Keep it up!!
I come from the auto repair environment and troubleshooting is perhaps the most important thing that a mechanic must know how to do. Looking at the way you found the problem on the Hobart spool runner proves that you are the best! Thank you for sharing.
This video right here got me my first aluminum job, and is keeping me employed by being able to do it. Incredible knowledge
By far the best MIG welding aluminum video I've seen. Thanks for putting it together!
mad respect for a guy who takes time out of his vacation to put together a video for his channel, when he could have just waited until he came back! Nice to see you relaxed and relaxing, Sir! Hope you have an amazing vacation! Now go PLAY!!!!!
Thanks for the video. I have recently purchased the Lincoln Power Mig 210MP and its a great machine.
Thank you so much for this video, I only started mig welding mild steel about 3 months ago, and not very often, I've a project that needed ally welding and no one wanted to take it on. So in 2 hours this afternoon I went from soldering the wire to the electrode, to bird turd, to stacking dimes in about 2 hours. 4mm plate aluminium, your advice was just brilliant, literally, a thousand thank you's my man 🙏😎
thanks for this video...it helped... I've been doing Collision for 26 yrs. I've had this aluminum spool gun from snap-on for the last year or so. I have the snap on mm250sl. I've had this for over 20yrs... finally got a argon bottle last week. I have the tig set up for it too. I will be trying it today on a home repair that is aluminum... again thanks for the insight on the trouble shooting....
I have a Lincoln power mig 216 machine and got this M100 with it "free". And I love it !!!! I built an aluminum flat bed tow truck bed with it running .035 wire using an .040 tip. The .035 kept fouling up. Once I switched tips, it was flawless !
very grateful for these videos Jody, I've gone from knowing nothing to doing mig and stick welding repairs for my job. Very grateful, I thank God for this awesome fun skill and instructor like you!
Great video. Straight to the point and shows everything I came here to see. Been struggling with my Lincoln spool gun (exactly same setup as yours - 210MP and same spool gun), with sooting and really having a hard time keeping the bead without melting the aluminum away. This video helps immensely.
Your dedication to your channel is fantastic. I really want to get a spool gun for my everlast welder. You have some great tips.
Thank you, I've been a different tradie all my life, Bricklayer then licenced Builder here in Australia. A little late in life I spose for me to be learning, but through the years have taught myself a few tricks of the trade :)...Your video I have found is one of the most informative and understandable with regard to Aluminium. You have a good nouse to be able to solve problems with a bit of McGyverism thrown in, good quality work to boot.. I'll never get the years of experience behind me to become a good welder, just enough to be half reasonable is what I'm hoping for. I don't know if you have any on grinding and finishing welds but I'll look. Thanks again.
I bought the tig finger years ago because of you! Use it all the time! Love your videos, very informative and to the point. Thanks for your hard work!
Thank you for this straight forward informative video!
Spent a year at welding school and we did not cover mig aluminum.
I bought my own spool and used the teachers personal to get a handle on it, he got me in the right direction but this really cleared up any confusion I had.
Thanks again!
Just starting to learn how to mig weld aluminium (new to welding in general), this video was a huge help!
Welding Tips and No Fluff, always great content that's straight to the point.
Amazing video! Absolutely spot on with every aspect of mig aluminum with a spool gun.
Thank you very much for these tips! I've always wondered what causes the sooting when welding Aluminium with my MIG!
I use a Lincoln 350mp at work all day everyday. Great machine. Super reliable and a whole wack of settings to make things go smoother
There are many videos on welding but this is the best I have seen. You answer why to push- advancing the argon gas..... two thumbs up!
Got myself a spoolgun for my everlast welder. Let the fun begin! I can't wait to start tackling aluminum.
Exactly why I'm here!
I've been following your videos for a couple of years. Thanks for the great info.
I wish that everyone that was going to try to weld aluminum would watch this you are spot on nice job Sir
Good stuff mate --clear concise information,I reckon you have helped me.Thanks
great pointer w the teflon and scotch brite. i have the hobart 190 handler and this just fixed my headache w the uickness. thnx Jody.
Hey Jody! Had to use the spoolgun here at work for the first time. Watching your video was really helpful, I got to the 'ballpark settings right away, and tweaked them using your examples. You probably cut the time I would have spent on that job in half. Thanks a bunch for your videos.
Watched so many spoolgun videos but finally got the right answers here.
Appreciate a lot , thank you very much.
love your channel. just ordered a lincoln 210 mvp...am a rookie..you make it look so simple
Great video... It was direct and to the point,, Just purchased a new 210 and gun,,, can't wait to start playing with it..
Wow.. what an awesome channel, great pro tips!. I don't know why the Hobart gas pattern made me laugh so hard !.
Thank you for doing an outstanding job on this channel. It must be exhausting to maintain. Thank you
Thanks for all the info and the quality pictures
thank you ! so much for all the great knowledge ,you share with us .you are the greatest teacher I ever had !
Jody, I have learned alot from watching, my wife actually watched this one with me and she was like OMG look at those eyes, so I think you have gained another utuber.
Muito bom seus videos.....Parabens.
When I start my classes Jody I'm going to try these techniques and see about progressing more I can't wait til I start school again. For this.
Very helpful video. Thanks for posting this.
I’m new to your work and channel. Great teaching. Thanks for sharing your craft and knowledge with us.
from kenya here. i must say that i like your job.
You're a good teacher. Thanks for your posts.
I just did a weld test for a job. Not sure what the settings were but dang I had to weld fast. Guy said the welder was maxed out and I had to run a 2f and 3f on I think it was 7 gauge. I've never welded so fast in my life. I tried to do some manipulation like on steel for the 2f but it kept burning through so I stopped and did an extreme whip motion and it came out looking decent, the downhill 3f looked good though(never migged aluminum before, it was weird). Still got the job cause my 2f/3f mild steel weld was "really nice".
Great Video's Jody, tons of info., great in close camera work, crisp pace, and you're a seriously good welder!
I've been welding for years with the Lincoln spool gun I find a huge difference in wire I'd love to see you make a video using the Lincoln spool gun and the different manufacturers of wires and your recommendation be great videos as always thank you
A great welder I loved when I was doing aluminum mig was the fronius welder, we had power mig lincolns also but I perfered the double pulse weld of the fronius, so I would love to see a review on that welder if you ever got a chance
Always love watching your videos, always a refreshing course!
Great videos!! Thank you for teaching us!
The best welding videos on You Tube !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dedicated man, editing videos on Vacation! Thanks Jody!
I enjoy your videos. They are very helpful. Thanks.
thank you very much for all welding videos.
Make sense!! Have similar issue but with TIG!!!, Big thanks
well, 'm glad I watched this one before going on to do more welding! That's some THICK aluminum you have there!
thank you so much for the spoolrunner 100 tip.
Vacation starts and the glasses come off. Another informative video, thank you Jody.
Thanks for the excellent instructions!
Thanks for your time and knowledge it's helpful 👌🤘
Ok , So I know this is old, but it's new to me. I'm starting to use the miller spoolmatic at work and I'm looking for all the info I can get on using it. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Thanks for the video, very educational.
I ran out to the garage after this vid and did the same modification to my miller spoolmate 100 it helps thank u sir for the vid
Я не понимаю английский, но мне очень понравилось.Очень наглядно определение недостатков газовой защиты горелки.Толково.Спасибо!
You my friend know what you are doing!
Excellent. Perfect timing... waiting for my new spool gun to get here.
Hello Sir!.. great video and welding techniques
I hope you checked out the lighthouse there, very cool.
Nice Video
Hi Jody, could this setup be used to weld tubing, more specifically I want to build my own T-Top for my boat. Most folks have told me to TIG weld that, but I am not sure if I could pick that up as quickly. Any input on the subject would be great. Thanks so much for making these videos. Super helpful.
Great Video! I have learned a lot. Thank you for posting.
Literally just got done mig welding aluminum today in school.... Haha that shit timing. Had to figure this all out the hard way. Keep the videos coming, you're putting me through school!
Love the videos.....did manage to make one of your tig fingers at my training course
this is why i love miller welders and will buy nothing but
hey dude, you make some great videos. i really appreciate the way you explain everything and the side tops. keep up the awesome videos, whenever i need to figure out anything for welding i know you got a video up there.
Hi Jody,
Great tips about the black soot....
Taking a vacation from the beach.....???
Cheers, Pierre
Some serious welds from a spool gun. Your a monster!
Good video, subscribed. So I have welded aluminum with 4043 an NEVER had soot issues. With 5356 I always do. Set up was the same: SS liner, tips, pure argon, and "blob-ball" welding ( where I turn down the wire feed while welding until wire forms a pea sized ball on the end, then dip it into place.
All I can deduce from this is that 5356 is just dirtier. Correct me if you know differently.
Great video;s, I like the content of your show's.
Thanks for great videos as always! I have a Miller 252 and trying to decide if I want a spool gun or a Miller push/pull gun.
Love all this Aluminium and Spool Gun info, thanks. Put a deposit on my first welder today, new machine from Boosweld here in Australia. No info out on it yet, I'm actually the first person to get one, so excited. I got the Spool Gun and a couple of helmets included, can't wait to start playing with it
You sound like me when I put in my order for my first everlast welder. It's been a few years now and I still love putting on my helmet and making sparks.

Great video. Great tips!
Awsome video! Thanks so much.
Awesome video as always. I was wondering if you planned on doing any future videos about stick welding with a bad fit up.
Great video, thanks for the tips, I needed it.
I agree. This is a great video as I'm thinking about buying a spool gun for an Everlast mig welder.
Muito bom 👏👏👏
Thank you posting this video
Agreed what pure mastery.
when putting scotch bright around the tip, would you need to increase the pre-flow any?
thanks for the video i just bought a 30a two weeks ago and it ran pretty good but i got soot but i may give this trick a try and see how god of gas shield i'm getting
another awesome video.
Great video thanks again
Hey Jody, love your videos on welding, very clear and straight to the point, im from Perth w.a, and our power is 240v, my welding unit is a UNI-MIG 190 Multifunction Inverter mig tig mma i have a SPG200II - Spool Gun - Heavy Duty, i put 0.8mm MIG Welding Wire in it, not Aluminium, for welding 2mm Square Tube, i put my voltage to 17v and my Wire speed to 5, anyway it welded good, but i got a white powder after my weld, can you please tell me what i did wrong,
Enjoy your Videos your opinions are not Biased and you say what's needed to be said good or bad , with that said have you ever used a Miller Syncrowave 210 and if so what's your pros and Cons on it
Another great video. Tig Finger is great.
Thanks for the video.
Great vid.
That is a really nice welder
great videos
Great Video!
Jody, could you do a video on different types of aluminum filler, with pros and cons to each, and how they work welding both regular aluminum and cast aluminum? I bought some 4047 for castings and it seemed to work fairly well, but I'm particularly interested in Hobarts Maxal 4943.
Thanks!
Hi Jody,
I was just wondering what type of torch movement you want to use for mig welding aluminum. Is it the same as steel... a circular or cursive “e” pattern?. Thanks for all you do to us help learn welding!
Looks like fun. I need a bigger garage for this stuff
I have that Hobart welder and the spool gun. I could not figure out why my welds were always so dirty. Maybe I should try your tricks next time I weld aluminum.
