You know Jody, even after all this time(been watching 5 or 6 years now!) you still amaze me with just how cool of a guy you are. The cross between your humility with info-packed straight talk is top of the shelf, bar none! Add your focus on aiding folks with improving their careers and livelihood, elevates you to Sainthood in my book. Maybe the "Arc of the Covenant" is describing a weld symbol? LOL, just kidding folks! I'm a Catholic too, so I jest about my own house and mean no disrespect. Aloha...Chuck
Your a great teacher and major influence to myself. You've made me WANT to be a better welder and have stepped my game up, because of your commitment to the youtube community. I enjoy my tig finger and my stubby gas lens kit were game changers. The books you've recommended were awesome too! Thanks Jodi. -Mike
I was a HS shop teacher for 8 years (2nd career, I'm on my 3rd) and agree with Knolltop. Jody continues to produce great educational material. I support his efforts and hope you guys do too. With $288K followers he's obviously doing something right. #1 in my book is consistency.. Keep up the fine work..
Hi Jody I believe the "draw" or movement you are witnessing when you tack weld the tube to the plate and watch it move is the phase shift within the steel molecular structure from FCC (Face Centered Cubic) to BCC (Body Centered Cubic). When you start with room temperature steel, it is in a BCC structure. When heated to cherry red, the steel transitions to a FCC structure, in which the atoms are more closely packed and therefore the metal shrinks a bit, pulling the tubing in the direction of the hot spot. Then the tube "rebounds" slightly as it cools again and shifts back to BCC. Of course it will not go completely back to the original position as it is constrained by the weld. There is a simple demonstration you can set up to visualize this phenomenon if you would like to include it in one of your videos.
Man Jody, just outstanding stuff, you should do a class or a retreat, all your fans could come weld for a week- love the channel, your DVDs, stubby kit & Tig fingers are game changers, anyone can skip welding school & pass a weld test learning from you, thanks for all you do
been freehand tig welding for almost a decade now and just recently found your channel. the videos I've watched so far have been great. you're very knowledgeable and love checking out your videos. keep up the good work. oh and I'll have to try one of those tig fingers out!
Jody.. you are a World Class Welder... thank you for your videos, i asked for the weld symbols, you gave it to us... plus you gave a book or two as a reference.... please keep showing the blue prints of what you weld so we can see what is actually expected.
I'm not welding at all (but want to get into it) but you're such a symphatic guy and thus I'm watching those videos all the time :D Thank you so much for all those videos.
Wow, the way the weld pulls the metal is amazing. I'm on the steel bridge team here at the University of Maryland and we fabricate trusses which need to snap together in sections. I hope we don't encounter any issues with warpage during welding and cooling. Might have to do some research on this.
Jody, you should teach this stuff to the engineers who put the weld symbols on their design drawings. I just sent in some fab dwgs for making tapered W16 x 50 beams. The top flange is to be removed, the web tapered 4" and then a 5/8" x 7" plate welded to the web as the new top flange. The engineer has called for a 5/16" double bevel weld on the 3/8" web. I called out the welds as he showed but clouded the weld symbol to call it to his attention. As someone who only walks thru a shop to look at stuff, I enjoy watching your videos. It give me good insight into the stuff I draw for the fab shops I do work for. I have referred your video channel to the owners of the 5 shops I detail steel for.
Just keep these videos coming jodi.. I love the side work videos coz it motivates me to pursue them and to push customers for more work just for the hell of doing it
Jody, I have watched you for a long long time. Some videos of your video's many times. First thank you. So after watching your videos, I bought a Tig Welder, Lincoln sq 200. You sir have hands of a brain surgeon. That was the very first thing I noticed about my self. You standing, no support, for a lack of better words, holly shit. My hats off to you and thank you for a new skill I am, well, attempting to attain.
Большая Вам благодарность за Ваши видео! Меня зовут Антон я из Казахстана, и с 18 до 24 лет проработал на стройке сварщиком сборщиком систем отопления. Сейчас мне 30 и у меня совершенно другая профессия. Сейчас я занимаюсь сварочными работами дома только по необходимости, ну и как хобби. К моему сожалению мой уровень знания английского языка крайне недостаточен что бы понять всё о чём вы рассказываете, особенно технические нюансы. (Я и думаю многие другие русскоязычные кто смотрят ваш канал были бы Вам очень благодарны за русские субтитры) Ещё раз большое вам спасибо за ваш труд и работу.

If you use the chrome browser you can turn on captions. Then select the small gear and select Auto-Translate. A list of languages will pop up. Select your language and you should see subtitles in english and then the language you selected. Not sure how well it works though.
This is a great video. Actually all of his videos are great. I am just starting to learn stick welding with my everlast welder (first welder ever!). I want to learn tig and mig and maybe start a small business welding and making repairs.
@ 3:36... In addition to stick out and stubby caps, I've been buying those flexible WP-20 heads from an Asian eBay supplier. They tend to leak after a hundred or so "adjustments", but flexing the head relative to the torch handle can help get in those hard to reach inside places. They're an inexpensive crutch to help improve results.
Excellent video Jody. I'm gonna watch this on several more times. I want to start a side business welding and these books will really help, gonna order them today. And btw, I must echo what Knolltop said about you, you tops in my book as well.
Thanks man! another great video! I used Blueprint reading for welders in trade school and i ended up keeping to book because it has lots of useful information in it
First off, sub'd. Second, I must say, this was quite interesting. Over the past years, as a CAD Designer/Drafter I've had to make hundreds of drawings that include weld symbols, but not being a welder myself, it's always been kind of a "best guess" type thing, and hoped that whoever was doing the actual welding would be able to interpret what I wanted done. The reference material you've shown at the end of the video will be things that I will have to have a look at. Do you have any suggestions for similar material for standards used in other countries? I've seen drawings from places other than the USA where the symbols are used differently or look different.
As a steel detailer, my go to book for welding symbols and their usage is AWS D2.4. Some state projects and federal projects spec metric so my weld symbols on those projects look the same except for the numbers are metric, no fractions.
If you like high quality abrasive products, you should try out a German made PFERD abrasive wheels. Their flap discs are highly ranked here in Europe, same as their grinding discs.
Jody, great video(as usual). who or what determines what weld process is used on a part. for example, could you have migged that or is it predetermined to be tig. just wondering. keep up the great work!!!
What size was the weld on the leveling lug? It seems they put a lot of thought into beveling the other joints to plate. Wondering why not bevel that lug?
3:05 wouldn't u need a break in the welding symbol line because you can only single bevel that specific piece and not the other?? Just trying to clarify.
I noticed you were using the squarewave 200 in the vid and you said that some welds were not using the footpedal, how do you do this if there is no switch between HF and Lift on the panel? Thanks
I have often hardened steel to be welded for example , a tool for bending maschiene , I have it is best to first preheat acetylene with before I sweat it ? as repair regards stefano pilia welder in switzerland
I agree I would have TIG welded this but I don't know why I would choose that for this job. Why was this not a MIG welding job? PS. I consider you the authority for welding on RUclips... :)
Hello my name is john david, live in Medellin Colombia. I need a big favor because I am desperate, and I have nadien to explain to me the phenomenon of color for welding is beautiful. I am a princiapiante and my laces are dark example this video in 10:05 minutes, I know how to get a color cord welding multicolores.te agradesco much if you help me with this issue thank you very much
Love your videos. I'm a 45 year aircraft welder and always held that "cold rolled" steel has no mill scale. The mill scale comes from the "hot rolling' process. Am I wrong?
After 30+ yrs of welding metal movement is expected, stainless still makes me shake my head. As a welder in a machine shop I get something new regularly, see alot of 4140-4130. Stick, mig and tig machines are all close by. Low alloy steels are very common, how about a couple of vids just to make sure I'm not missing something new. Usually run ER80 S D2 for filler
Now Jody, you know technical drawings can't be wrong. It's the welders, fitters and machinists who can't bend reality to suit the drawing that are messing up.
engineering drawing with mistakes on it LoL NEVER seen that before the ones I like the best is a when you get a welded joint and it has +- 0.2mm (0.0078") yes I have seen this on a welding drawing
I hope to achieve half your tig skills in my entire lifetime. You need to write a book!!!! Thanks for your videos!
REALLY enjoy your welding perfection Jody !!

weldingtipsandtricks Jody is the best, why didn't you weld the square tubing on first for a better gun angle?
You are amazing sir, thank you

I'm in welding school in the Netherlands ....I watch your videos all the time thank you so much for your help 😎
Outstanding efforts on your part Jody first class instructions!
Great to see your fabrication techniques Jodie... RUclips need more of this, well done sir
you do a fantastic job! and I visit weldmonger regularly to support your efforts.
Still the best welding channel.

Just finished the 9th addition las week. A ton of info. Will have it for the rest of my life.
Thank you, Jody, this was a good helpful video. Honestly, your skills are amazing. You should offer private tutoring.
great stuff.. book suggestions are always welcomed...

Interesting how such a small tack weld could affect the alignment of that piece (as shown with the slo mo). Thanks, great learning opportunity.

Thanks man! another great video! I used Blueprint reading for welders in trade school and i ended up keeping to book because it has lots of useful information in it
I learned some important things here. Thank you.

Thank you for the information and great job there.
Another Great video .. Thank u sir..
If you like high quality abrasive products, you should try out a German made PFERD abrasive wheels. Their flap discs are highly ranked here in Europe, same as their grinding discs.
One more thing. When will we see more videos with you and JD? Really like those.
Thanks for another great video
Another great video, thanks
What gas pressure was used on the regulator and did you have to turn it up when you extended the rod out the handle
Good job my friend
Very useful, thank you
Jody, great video(as usual). who or what determines what weld process is used on a part. for example, could you have migged that or is it predetermined to be tig. just wondering. keep up the great work!!!
What size was the weld on the leveling lug? It seems they put a lot of thought into beveling the other joints to plate. Wondering why not bevel that lug?
Can you do weaves or do you have to run stringers? Or is it dealer’s choice?
Jody where would I find a wide base square like the one you are using in this video?Great video as usual!!!
great video!
3:05 wouldn't u need a break in the welding symbol line because you can only single bevel that specific piece and not the other?? Just trying to clarify.
Thank you very much sir it help me a lot
can you do video . on weld fixtures and certain jobs that have hundreds of parts. and what steps go in those
interesting video! sorry, i ask for another welding machine, in America there are some fimer welders? are good?
thanks
Jody, will you be at FabTech this year in Las Vegas?
Jody, sorry for the newb question but why wouldn't you bevel that thick piece that the D ring bolts to? Is it because the pipe is thin walled?
Hey Jody....one of your old students from the Delta days...enjoying your videos. Is that combo square you are using available in your store?
I'm also interested in a square like that, with the wide base.
I noticed you were using the squarewave 200 in the vid and you said that some welds were not using the footpedal, how do you do this if there is no switch between HF and Lift on the panel?
Thanks
Btw I have this machine and it works great
What I meant was that at 170 amps, sometimes I was at full pedal and sometimes not
How sharp do you make your tungsten rod?
Can u give a recommendation on a good book for shop math ?
can you do more of these? welding with plans?please
Hi Jody i enjoy your videos !
Where did you get the magnetic torch holder your using?
Thanks for another great video! Vadim
I have often hardened steel to be welded for example , a tool for bending maschiene , I have it is best to first preheat acetylene with before I sweat it ? as repair
regards stefano pilia
welder in switzerland
What welding rod are you using?
Phenomenal video, thank you!!!
I agree I would have TIG welded this but I don't know why I would choose that for this job. Why was this not a MIG welding job? PS. I consider you the authority for welding on RUclips... :)
i would have 2 questions
what is the difference betwen wig wolfram inert gas and mig metal inert gas and what is each uused for
I checked out your store and it has a lot of great stuff but where's the goodies for us down and dirty Mig guys
You should do a video to help people with print reading
sorry i just cant find the book you recommended or any other book for welders, non amazon
HOw do i order the book so you get credit for it?
I wish the drafters and/or engineers would read those books, our prints alway have the wrong weld symbols.
spot on !
Very good

I love tig welding ✌️😍
audio issues after the intro?
how I draw my bead size to answer not exceeding 1/8
Love your videos. I'm a 45 year aircraft welder and always held that "cold rolled" steel has no mill scale. The mill scale comes from the "hot rolling' process. Am I wrong?
merciخیلی عالی بود

Stick, mig and tig machines are all close by. Low alloy steels are very common, how about a couple of vids just to make sure I'm not missing something new. Usually run ER80 S D2 for filler
most situations the developer has an idea about welding. And the print usually isn't correct. But most of the time they get it right.
1st. Why didn't you use a long nose 3" or 4" cup?
2nd: Why not mig it?
nice video. wish i had my own shop instead of workin for the man. lol
son muy buenos tus videos lamentablemente no hablo ingles pero si me ayuda si pudieras hacer algo en español
tal vez pudieras sub titularlo tus videos paralos que te seguimos en latinoamerica
Now Jody, you know technical drawings can't be wrong. It's the welders, fitters and machinists who can't bend reality to suit the drawing that are messing up.
if I my ask where in the USA do you live like States.
Nice vid but I would have migged the 3/4 plate
Why? TIG isn't up to your spec?
I checked your weld monger website, but your not going to get credit for these two books I'm going to order...
hey jody i have a friend that invented a tig gun holder if i sent you one would you be willing to give it a try
Tig welding nice needs is really satisfying lol .dead serious.
engineering drawing with mistakes on it LoL NEVER seen that before
the ones I like the best is a when you get a welded joint and it has +- 0.2mm (0.0078") yes I have seen this on a welding drawing
but engineers NEVER make mistakes?!?!?!
uncoated 70s-2 wire?
well if you turn your gasolin tank into swiss chees you probably too much oxygen
