Best demonstration of why the gap is better. Thank you !
An artist discussing his art and educating the next generation...nothing finer!
Thankyou im 65 and this old dog just learned a new trick!
Best welding teacher ive seen explains everything
Jolene is actually a fine welder, it's amazing how good of a job she does with so little actual hands on experience. Well done Jolene .
Chad thank you for going to this level of detail with simple and no-bs explanations. Great content as per usual
chad is a great teacher always explains why he does things the way he does
Man, I'm aboutto put a patch panel on my Mustang and your videos is amazing. Thanks yall.
So I've watched a half dozen others demos welding sheet metal, and Chad is the only one explaining how and why it's necessary to have the gap. I'm probably twice Chad's age, and in another life, I did body work, a lot of brazing, and lead metal finishing. Wire feed wasn't a thing, yet or it wasn't in common use for sheet metal. Got a project coming up .This is going to help a lot!!
I've posted this several times before, but watching Chad's videos has given me a great deal of confidence and insight into my own projects. And Jim said it perfectly in the last video...people can become experts without lifting a hand by watching Chad's videos. :) We are in the process of putting hood scoops from a 94-96 Firebird into a '93 Chevy truck hood and this video is very helpful in seeing just how beneficial having the gap is to get good weld penetration.
Every episode there's something new to learn. Always appreciate how Chad explains how & why...keep it up 👍
Thanks for taking the time to show us all you do
Thanks for sharing Chad... the information will be out here for people wanting to learn for years to come. Great Job!
Great to see Queen Jolene welding today. The cover for the console turned out awesome. Can't wait to see it painted.
Thank you Chad and Jolene for everything that you do. I love your videos
Awesome advice Thanks Chad and Jolene, Great welding tips. The console has turned out beautiful and will look great once painted
Love the way you work things out and explain it nice and simple helps me soo much with my fabricating 👊🏻
Great welding lesson, Chad! Thanks for the demonstration.
Thank you Chad. Good explanation of how to weld. Been learning how to fabricate metal on my hot rod. Love your show.
Super helpful thank you!!!! This explains so much of why my welds fail as well looking chunky. Heading toward rust repairs on my jeep this spring, I'm making my patches and putting a gap in now. Game changing tip!
i try to watch every thing you do.....the way you do your work is great....simple but sound technics and honest.....which to me counts the most....by far the best teacher in my book
I've watched dozens of vids from all sorts of youtubers on paint and body, never seen this fantastic tip before. Thank you!!!
Love your teaching this way so all can learn these simple techniques
Hi Chad and Jolene. I watch with my husband daily. It's great that you show your own HUMANITY to us all and that everyone makes mistakes and your WILLENESS to show COMPASSION to your friends your love for Jolene and the PASSION to learn and let us all share the processes of your thoughts that make your build so interesting and keep us watching daily. Keep up the GREAT work.
Thank you Chad! New to the whole car resto, and welding. This explained a lot!
Great content as always! Thanks Chad and Jolene.
Great advice and easily explained 👌 Well-done at keeping it simple to understand 👏 👍
You could also turn the heat up on the panels without a gap and linger a bit longer on the weld bead until you see the puddle wet out a bit. That’ll usually ensure the penetration is good. Sometimes you need to turn the wire speed down a touch.
I am glad someone else realized that. I butt them up right against each other. The heat divides the peices, kinda like thin walmart bag plastic pealing back away from a flame.
I tend to have it want to blow through when I linger on sheet metal, at least 20g.
@@3.0colorado21 when I say linger, I mean like .05 micro seconds longer. It should be instantaneous. You can’t linger on it like you do at the grocery store.
@@bdpgarage shit I wish I could linger at the grocery store. I forgot, talking to people that weld on the Internet is like talking to a gay narcissist with an ego the size you wish your penis was.
Warp it real good
Love the way you work things out and explain it nice and simple
Awesome job , thanks for everything you do for your viewers. 👍
Thanks for all of these videos. We all appreciate it
Another moment in greatness, actually a great lesson learnt. Keep it up, Chad Jolene and Fina.
Love watching and learning. Thanks for the hard work you two
Excellent tutorial for beginner welders and pros alike thanks chad an jolene
Learned a lot from this video. I only practiced a little bit of mig welding in school but not enough to get real good at it.
Great tips, thank you for sharing what you learned!
Love the way you explained this. Great stuff. Subscribed
I'm glad I found this video! I'm about to weld some patch panels and was going to butt weld them like a lot of welding videos show. Now I'll leave a gap between the patch panel and and the original sheet metal.
Very helpful thanks, I had to discover this on my own some years ago.
Pay attention people, this couple are good and explain it well with no editing tricks.
Congratulations on 500 Episodes I really LOVE watching your show i've learnt so very much you keep up the Fantastic Show it can only get bigger
I appreciate the video, and the explanation, and the demonstration. I watched something last night to learn how to do butt welds right, and the person was an excellent welder fabricator. But there was no gap between the two pieces of steel. And I was doing something exactly the same (a butt weld) the day before, with no training. But having a gap between the two pieces of steel for my molten weld pool to harden and bond them together, and be really strong, just made sense to me. So that was how I did it. Thanks for confirming how you do it, I completely agree with that method.
I'm a crappy welder, by the way, but I'm practicing, and trying to do better welding.
Thank you again,
Daniel
Thanks for the advice I’m just getting into welding and it was something I always wanted to do never heard the gap in between and thanks I’ve seen many people cars rust and break apart at welds and didn’t know why but know I see thanks again I love to get it right and you’ve taught me what many are not trying to do which is have things last and I like to do it the best way and thanks you’ve made my day I’m about to repair my car
I stumbled on your channel , I have seen you on one of those channels on tv , I am happy I found you , you do great work and you are a great teacher, thanks for sharing ,your knowledge it’s priceless !
Cool video. Currently restoring a '74 Celica that I bought specifically to have a go at car metalwork & welding since I've watched 100's of videos of other guys doing it like yourself. It's going very well, & noticed early on it's better to make a patch panel that has abit of a 'loose' fit rather than a no-gap 'perfect' fit, otherwise seems the metal stretches when welding & you end up fighting with it & having to make a relief cut etc.
Congrats on 500+ videos! They have helped me so many times!
Very cool, thanks for taking the time to make this video.
I did not know this . Thanks Chad . I just found your channel on you tube and I love this content .
Jolene been learning lots of good practical car skills to go along with her excellent video work- good to see her featured for that! She wields a mean torch, so... Bad Chad and Mean Jolene, the Legend Continues!!
thanks chad ,great job jolene , watching every day guys thanks
Hi, I recently started watching your show, and I look forward to watching every day. You do amazing work!!!
Congrats on the 500, the great videos, and the great team you two are!
Love your videos, Chad! Love how you take your time, explain everything. That console is bad ass! Well done! Kudos to Jolene as well!
You guys gave me the inspiration to go for it! Thank you Chadles, Jolene , Nate dogg, Dougles and of course Jimbo! Never welded anything in my life, i now own a welder and im going for it! First bead on 1/8th" steel is pretty decent for just watching videos!
Thank you guys for the lesson and demonstration.
Really useful tip. Thanks to you both from SW France.
Thank you so much... Learned so much...
New into the body work industry...
This video is my favorite one...I'm a hobbyist with a cheap welder learning welding teck...planning on getting a new one with a tank soon...but wanted to thank you for passing on the smarts yo have
Best lesson I've learnt all day!! Thanks for the great video
Thanks for sharing your welding secrets!
Thanks for the welding tip Bad Chad, I will be using that one this summer on my 1954 Ford truck. Great welding work Jolene and camera work as well.
Thanks for this video. I'm doing floor pans in my truck for the first time and looking for pointers. I'm definitely going to be sure to have a gap after watching you do that bend test.
Always a great watch. Thanks for the inspiration.
You all rock! Keep up the awesome job, so fun to watch!
Great video, I learn something every day. Thanks.
Perfect demonstration…thanks guys 👌
Great info, thank both of ya'll, and keep it coming!
Thank you for answering a question I’ve had for years 👍🏼
Thanks for the demo, worthwhile
We're all learning today!! Thanks for the education!
Finally you put a video out on this lol i’m pretty sure most of us viewers have been waiting for this thanks so much chad 👍
Thank you for sharing Chad and Jolene
Thanks bud im not an experienced welder just a hands on learn as i go . Countless arguments from people telling me i gotta flange everything or overlap or butt it tight but logic seem to me to have a slight gap and then bam! I see this video im not crazy after all well ok im crazy but filled with confidence as i move forward on my restore.
great job on explaining the butt weld. And yes without a small gap we grind off the top and leave little to hold the piece together. Penetration is key. Always. lol
Great video! I love the examples and reasoning in real time. Thank you!
I like your guidance and knowledge on welding and fabrications ./ you guys are top of the line people . thanks
Thanks, Chad. I've recently started using a MIG welder and have learnt another trick here from you through this video! Goodonya, mate!
20 seconds after watching another video by another shop guy I started this video.
In his video he demonstrated putting in a patch panel where a side marker was on an old Chevy truck. Butt welded that is. Of course he recommended getting the fit as tight as possible. Now I watch this video where a gap is recommended with the demonstration as to why. I' m about to buy a welder and start learning. After this video I'll leave a gap.
If I may butt in? Funny I watched the same video as you did where he made such a tight fit. I Tig welded for years and always left a gap, this allowed movement which helped stop SOME warpage. Now about five years back I recieved a pacemaker and had issues with the Tig deprograming my pacemaker, so I sold the tig and went back to flame welding which I done pretty well, even learnd to gas weld aluminum. The other day I got brave and bought a Mig welder hoping I will not have the issues I had with Tig. With Mig I can keep the tourch farther away from my chest, about 24 inches, also Mig does not have the high frequencys as Tig does. So I bought a bottle of argon/co2 and a cheap cart from china freight and have started to put things together, will know in a day or to if I can be sucessful. All the best to you.
Very nice demo - you guys make a great team.
Great video. Explaining the gap is super important. Thank you!
I'm new to welding,and these little tips go a long way in helping me out.
Love your videos I learn something every time I watch your show
As a beginner this definitely will help with my project! Thank you Chad.
Very good teaching.
short but great video again,showing us how to butweld sheetmetal together,also nice to see Jolene in front of the camera again for a while,thanks for sharing,keep up the good work you're doing
Absolutely spot on. I'm new to welding and this has been a great vid. I wasn't aware. Brilliant 👍👍👍
Thank you for the videos Chad and Jolene
I’m 68 and have just welded two pieces of scrap metal with my new mig welder. I’ll be replacing the front lower fenders(rusted out) on my 72 C20 soon. I’m confident the replacements will look beautiful by following your tips of the trade. LMC provided the bottom pieces for each side and by leaving a gap and clamping them, going slowly, cooling as I go I’ll be successful. I’m excited even though the finished product will actually be hidden behind the front bumper haha! Closing holes in the doors on each side 1/2-3/4” from towing mirrors is next on the list, I look forward to your help. Formerly an entomologist/exterminator/teacher of the sciences I will have to say you are a fantastic instructor. Thank You!
Great demonstration Chad, nice to see your technic on welding!!!
Looking amazing can't wait to see it painted great job on that chad
Damn dude. Thank you! Seems so simple now. I've been killing myself doing body work, and grinding smooth. Old metal on vehicles seems to blow out instantly when there's a gap, but maybe it's because of flux core welder. But not going to stop perfecting it. Thank you again! 💪
Good teaching, Chad. Important to see the difference.
Great tips thanks for sharing chad and jolene
Great tutorial guys, thanks for sharing
Good video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Nice demo! I’m a hobby welder and this is great information.
Great lesson Chad good job welding Jolene
