Retired High stress NG welder for 33 years. I wish youtube was around in the 1980s. One time at requals in Pico Rivera I asked a old time big inch welder what the hell is the secret. He said I don't know I learn more everyday. Watch and take the good from any fellow welder on the job. I did it. If you watcher are thinking about this life do the same. Thanks for the real world vid Sir!!!!
Retired big inch heavy wall welder, my tips, burn HOT and use 3/16 with a Christmas tree weave when your past Deadman Corner. Up your eletrode size, I use 3/32 to weld watch springs. I spooled out 100,s of 4' sh 40 on a wheel, 3/16 6010 root and hot pass 5/32 7018 cap all passed x ray. Thing is these days most of what I did would be red flagged as being out of code (weave vs stringers).
Wally, thank you for uploading these videos. They’re very informative for a person like me who’s trying to learn downhill. It’s hard to get someone that has time that can come around to teach me. But these videos give me such an idea of what to look for. The fact that you take the time out of your your day to demonstrate to us is awesome. Wish you many blessings.. Guys like myself look up to you!
Thank you buddy for the video on Joy tit I've watched you a couple of the times from your truck. I'm a retired pipeliner Iran gas pains in oilfield for over 40 years I'm 67 years old now I still have my rig I'm from Houston but I work and live in the Carolinas now really good people up here. I've lost the sight in my left eye so I'm not able to make my code Wells anymore like I used to but I still will down the scrap iron in the tractors and heavy equipment with no problems. Like I said I enjoy watching your video and explaining in detail and that's the same way I would do with my experience trying to pass it on to a younger crowd or even an experienced welder that may not have been around enough to see a lot of different techniques things that are done as far as welding and fabricating and fitting. So you take care of yourself looks like it's been cold out there I didn't know if you preheated your pipe or not before you made your way out I saw your feet up and everything with your line up clamps and I was impressed with it but if the pipe was cold it would probably pull a bunch of that heat out on your first bead and might make it a little bit brittle but you probably it probably was warm enough already but take care of yourself thanks again for letting us supposed back on your video. Mark's got a k a t e x x North Carolina
@@TheWeldProfessor just read the feedback partner. You take care of yourself out there on the road. Be as safe as you can so you can keep doing the good work. There's so much more welding to be done other than pipeline work I could tell some stories about guys I've met over the years the never welded one piece of pipe but they have welded everything else. I'll tell some of my old friends that I've worked on and Welding on everything from BBQ Pits to rocket ships. I worked at Nasa complex in Cocoa Beach at one time for a crew doing some utility work up there. And I was a welding inspector free gas company in Florida the cupboard from Palm Beach County all the way up to Cocoa Beach where the Cape is. So I had access to all the gas pains in that area. I won't go on and on but just wanted to let you know thanks for the return comments. Mark Scott
Keep the game tips coming. Your helping me be a better garage welder. Lol. My 6011 game sux. Keep sticking them. My arc to tight or what?. Anyway bsafe dude.
I am not even a welder but started to fuse PE for gas company and hopefully i can achieve a better skills and become a welder when i get a chance to get hired with one.
Greetings from Russia, I'm also a welder, I have a question, why do you cook from top to bottom? We weld the pipe from bottom to top with OK 53.70 ESAB electrodes
Thank you for taking your time and teaching and giving tips for new guys specially. Takes time and effort. Just curios you dont have to heat the pipe before welding.
Badass video all the good tips they you need you covered liked how you explained how not to leave a big key hole when you bust off on the root good job bro
Everything is explained very clearly. Thanks for taking the time to stop and show every step and detail. Much power to you brother. Love that aztec calendar hood. New subscriber here!😎
How long dose it normally take at home to get your stuff out and set up and pipe cut and cleaned and set up before you even strike a arc cause dam I take about 45 min before I get to even tack
I see you 👀 Well done 👏 Brother good work flow and advice love to see it. can't wait to see more tricks tips and techniques on your channel. Keep on welding on my friend. 💯 💸
Guys I have a question can I put a prescription insert in a pancake hood? Because I'm blind as shit and I'm going back to welding school soon as I'm not where I want to be as a welder (I've got Cerebral Palsy and need to learn to work around my disability) my biggest problem when I was at school the first time was that light would get into the back of my hood and bounce off my glasses into my eyes
@@TheWeldProfessor dumb question could you do a video on how to do it with a broken pancake because from what I've seen if you mess it up your shit out of luck or would I be better off sending it to someone?
Well I’m not made of money and I’m kinda just starting I’m 16 btw. I asked for the prime weld tig225x. A few other guys I watch on RUclips recommend it. It’s a 900 dollar tig with every setting you’d need and comes w a ck torch
@@conorfrancis222 nice man. I haven't heard anything bad about that machine. I just picked one up myself for a lil stainless and aluminum job it's a Ahp welding systems alpha tig201xd for 720. I'm happy with it. Even got the pulse setting that iv always wanted to try.
Hello friend, thank you for making an educational video. May God bless your arms and your pockets of strength. Unlike you, I do not live in a developed country. Would you please send me an old mask similar to the one you used?
@@TheWeldProfessor Hello master, can you send me one of the old welding masks for free? If you sell it for money, it seems to me that you don't need the money for that mask.
@@TheWeldProfessor In the country where I stayed, the salary was very low. In this country, a welder is paid $ 650. Otherwise, I would not open my mouth to you.
**PLEASE HELP** Can anyone give me any tips about how the steamfitters union aptitude test is? (Preferably from personal experience) mostly, what kind of math questions will be asked? THANKS IN ADVANCE! (Phila., PA)
Great video! Love the energy the speed been practicing my pipe welding and always refer to your videos to help answer my questions. If you find a chance would you be able to upload a similar video regarding the 6 g position? Again thank you for the content you put out and lighting the way for the next generation of welders
Nice. That’s all about getting it done. No beauty contest. FLEXING that rod into that root. That’s in there good. Still, really good looking welds. “It might not be the absolute prettiest weld ever, but that roll of franklins in my pocket is sure sexy” 😎
“I dont claim to be the best welder, I just claim to be a welder” best advice out there.
my man out here giving out free game frequently, much respect bro.
Respect
Same I was able to get a job / helper from watching pipe welding videos from this man & others. Practice 6 g in my garage.
Thanks
Free to listen to, anything but cheap to follow and do it.
Every move is planned, prepared, practiced. I learn so much birdoggin you. No waste of time. All purpose.
ABSOLUTELY gotta know what your gonna tackle becomes second nature
I love and appreciate the fervor you have to teach and share knowledge!
You are so welcome
Right on; one of your better videos, though all of them are worthy. Thanks....again.

Got you man stay cool

@@TheWeldProfessor can you do some uphill 6010 and 7018 caps?
Good vid master
That's love thank you
When u testing, what do u use as a spacer???
I don't use spacer on test but that's me everyone is different
@@TheWeldProfessor do u just use wedge to give u a gap, I usually use a spacing band so I want to try ur method out n see how my 200d handles it
Not even. I slam mine up on test day. But that's me. Not anyone I know test like I test.
You're one of the best man! Good content. Keep grinding brother 💯💯
Thank you
Great work bro! Thanks for the tips. God Bless😊
God bless
Everything is explained very clearly. Thanks for taking the time to stop and show every step and detail. Much power to you brother.
Love that aztec calendar hood. New subscriber here!😎
Thank you
Thank you uhelped me alot
Perfect
Thank you Wally,
Hey how many amps would equal to 3rd and 60?
That's the question I was waiting for thank you for asking.
Ya make it look easy! Are u doing any side to side or circles on the cap or just wip and pause? i can't tell from here
It's just a whip fuck all the nay nae
Effective and efficient 👌
Thank you it's really simple once ya figure it out
whats the black thing on the bossel wood
I think leather
@@TheWeldProfessor do you gotta sand the wood before putting the leather or goggles on ur bossel wood
@@Royalewitchee more so wood was
Wore out leather made up for it
@@TheWeldProfessor do you know if i can send my hood too outlaw too get the wood fixed and strap fixed
Awesome video bro keep them coming i have learned alot from the video's you have been posting don't stop
I won't thank you
That grinder stand? Where could I get one?
Javelin industries makes em. When ya get in contact and buy one let em know ya saw it on my RUclips please. I bought mine 6 years ago.
With those new outlaw hoods can you were safety with those or are they like the regular pancakes
Idk I didn't try
How much your amps in the 7018 rod
🏆🏆🏆😊🙏
Thank you for sharing
No problem my pleasure
I seen this guy welding ,with his eyes covered up , no joke , good job walleey,👍
Ey sir wats your weave motion for the cap and fill
Depends what rod and position
Right on
Great videos ...fan from Trinidad and Tobago ....all that was missing is the Arc Shot ......great tutorial as always
Appreciate the content Wally. What size cable are you running with the V Stinger? Thanks for taking the time to spread the love and knowledge.
It's seriously some cheap lead from ace hardware but I actually love it .
Walllyz always be applying pressure 💪
Saludos des de Houston, Texas
#Covid_Season_2021
Gotta always apply pressure
Quedó Fine esa pega very good
Mad respect!
How long dose it normally take at home to get your stuff out and set up and pipe cut and cleaned and set up before you even strike a arc cause dam I take about 45 min before I get to even tack
I totally get up. I can be set up ready to work in under 5 min
Спасибо !!!!!!!!! Круто !!!!!! Супер- мастер!!!!!!
I have no clue I will translate later.
Great videos man ,what type of welding lens are you using
Truearc
Thanks man
Love the videos man💯 what do you think about the vantage 322 is it good for pipeline?
Alot people like em. I'm not a fan but just because I'm not don't mean you might not be. I know guys who live by them machines only
@@TheWeldProfessor ohh okay thanks 💯 you think older machines are better
I see you 👀 Well done 👏 Brother good work flow and advice love to see it. can't wait to see more tricks tips and techniques on your channel. Keep on welding on my friend. 💯 💸
Thank you
So with that 3/32 gap, are you jamming that bead rod in there or are you long arcing it a little bit?
Wally puts the pressure on the rod with a slight bend in it. Looks that way anyway
Joey is right it's not jamming it's a flex pressure
I am a welder in the vessel and i want to experience in the land base area can you help me to have a job out there brother.
Skilled operator! Even that pipe was shivering off that slag lol how do you not get cold???
I use 1/ 8 8010 on 4 inch schedule 40 would that work
For the cap?
@@TheWeldProfessor thank you for the advice
That's what I was asking. I cap with 5/32 sometimes but I like the 5mm
This is just what I needed, you answered every question I had! Thanks man. BTW is this a 1/4" disk or 1/8?
When it comes to welding pipe always use the 1/8th disc
Good video bro 🙏🏻
Thank you

You can make the pancake suit your glasses and accommodate them with a lil sanding and notching
@@TheWeldProfessor dumb question could you do a video on how to do it with a broken pancake because from what I've seen if you mess it up your shit out of luck or would I be better off sending it to someone?
It's not to hard just gotta know how to do it I suggest never rushing it it's definitely a time taken matter
6:18 pulls 2gs out of his pocket like it’s the norm.😂
Gangster
Took me a min to achieve that in my life but it's no thang. Its possible you can all do it too.
Pocket change for wally.
