I got overconfident (See the Dunning-Kruger Effect) and offered to do a repair job for my neighbor that needed me to attach the edge of some thin perforated sheet steel to the side of some heavy wall square tubing in a T joint. I could NOT get enough heat on the tubing to even start a puddle without eating up the thin perf sheet. Silicon bronze saved my day, it did. I only had some on hand because I saw one of your videos like this one and decided I should stock that filler. Thanks for saving my reputation!
A great and timely video, Jody. I'm in the process of TIG welding up some work tables using 16 ga. tubing and ER70-S2 to keep from blowing up the thin-wall tubing.
Got to love the Heat-Affected-Zone comparison at 7:31! This is of course what we're expecting, but it's good to see it. I've done this process now on some little coupons and it worked fine, haven't actually made anything with it yet. This sixteen gauge square tubing (and sheet) is a big issue locally.
Wow. I'll never get to this point in welding skill. But its so nice to see what it really takes to produce a fine weld (or even braze) it will improve my POS welding without a doubt.
SB is a lifesaver on old car restoration. Plenty strong for sheetmetal repair, keeps heat way down and shaves off with a Vixen file so not a lot of aggresive grinding which generates heat. Usually final dress with a flat file gets it zeroed in.
Amazing, you sir have talent and an ability to teach. Thank you. I'm just getting back into this after almost 30 years away from any Tig Torch. A lot has changed for me and the tech now is a lot to take in. Just bought a new Miller 215, it does not have all the fancy pulse control etc but I'm sure it will do fine for my current needs. I have a 69 Mustang waiting for my skills to build....watch one of your vids....go practice...watch it again... go practice and repeat as necessary.
Don't forget to tell the students to clean their filler rod. There's a large surface area on a cylindrical object. No need to introduce contaminants on the filler rod.
I have the hardest of times not making a tiny melted puddle of base metal while having enough heat for the SiB to flow I get it that the arc is to be focused on the puddle not on the base metal .. but I find that the bronze won't flow if the base metal is cold?
Great video as always! Can you please do a video on what it would look like if you ground down and finished one of those brazed joints? I am interested in more TIG braze videos. Thanks Jody!
Perfect timing. I've been banging my head off some thin wall tubing with the issues you mentioned (burning through/bringing contaminants forward). I'll try the lay wire technique with thicker filler tomorrow. Thanks!
Does anyone here know if you can TIG braze cast iron with silicon bronze? I'm aware of oxy fuel brazing cast iron but it's not an option for me in this situation
Hello im jeff p I love your videos but I haven't found a video on cold welding and what all kinds of metals can you use that tipe of welder on or can you do the same kind of welding with a a/c d/c tig ??? Can you let me no or if you have already done a video on this send me the lenk thank you so much for all you do I have lured a lot from you and are an essential to all of us and I have a Eastwood tig 200 ac dc still learning how to TIG weld
I'm having trouble with tig brazing. Don't know what I'm doing wrong, got alumibronze and silicon bronze. Obviously need ac on alum but can't get the Silicon bronze to behave on DC. Just looks a mess.
Hi Jody - I’m having trouble welding 2mm wall Mild steel tube to 1.8 mm plate. Weld is fine but the plate is puckering on the other side of the weld, and I can’t grind to blend out on that surface. Any tips?
What are the practical differences between the ER70-S2 and the ER70-S6 when it comes to thin wall tubing? Any one is preferable to the other, and for what reasons? Thanks.
Hello Sir. thank you very much for all your good advice. I love welding and welding machines. I have a question. How do you deal with breathing while welding? I don't mean the filtration and or clean air intakes......etc. I mean the rhythm of breathing. I find I'm holding my breath and then I slowly Miss up as I start breathing. And if I'm not holding my breath my hand move too much. It's like when you shoot a gun you have to hold your breath when you're aiming I guess
But if you use clamping is it necessary to worry about the pull? I worked in my apprenticeship mostly with MIG MAG and use 30x30mm square tube with 2,5 or 3mm thick wall. What grinding disc do you used in this video? Why do you use the pulsing for bras and what does it mean when it puls? How can it be described? Something like the tacking operation?
Hola, se peude soldar aluminio con el proceso TIG, sin aporte y sin gas?, solo con la fusión de la antorcha de TIG? en espesores muy delgados? Saludos.
Hi I'm new to TIG have been trying to learn from You tube, I hear 1 instructor saying don't put the wire in the puddle but I see you did and it works good so what should I do?
I cannot for the life of me get my sillican bronze welds to looks anything like yours. I use the same size i have clean material and rods and they don’t look good what am I doing wrong?
Man...... I REALLY missed watching your videos! Too much outdoor activities lately. I like that kit you built up for sale. Thanks for GREAT videos........ I really like that silicon bronze brazing. Gbyay!!!!
if you point you tungsten at the solid wall instead of the cut end on those t joints you dont get those blowouts. its not a heat problem its your position.
hi sir thanks for video , very instructive ; some questions help for you please - need to buy tig pulse , or double pulse , not expensive price , and try the silicone bronze on stainless ,and aluminium metal mainly - is silicone bronze available for tig welding , on sheet metal , and aluminium ? my objectif is to weld fastly with tig and less power current , that"s why the silicone bronze filler could be the solution where to order for this equipments thanks advise
Hi Jody, great video thanks, could you tell me the spec of the phosphor bronze rod please, I tried to TIG braze today and it looked bad, all hissy n all, thanks from the UK
Thanks again for video Jody... touching on subjects that I have not use in years but brings back info... (Thumbs UP) < HINT: if you doing lots of tig... GET BIG BOTTLES... you will use lots of gas>
Hace muchos años solde con gas argon y fue una experiencia muy grata ojala y mi dios me de licencia para volveer hacerlo,, saludos desde Oaxaca, Mexico.
I started welding after seeing Jody's first videos. I now have 4 welders past 6 years. He inspired many.

I'm 73yrs old. I'm just going to say one thing. This Man is Good.
For me the best amazing teacher, honest not show of, and he can weld any material
A great and timely video, Jody. I'm in the process of TIG welding up some work tables using 16 ga. tubing and ER70-S2 to keep from blowing up the thin-wall tubing.
Best Arc Shots I have seen to date. Helpful. Thank you Jody.
The details & phrases that you use make it super easy to learn . Keep it up. Weld done!
Always helpful for a refresh before a new project. Thanks Jody.
Thanks Jodi always a pleasure learning from your supper knowledge & educational videos on your channel here 👍🏾
Many many thanks from South Africa 🇿🇦
Your videos are always very informative. Thanks for posting them.
Just "learned" this welding type today. I absolutely love it. I still suck bad but it is so much fun.
Got to love the Heat-Affected-Zone comparison at 7:31! This is of course what we're expecting, but it's good to see it. I've done this process now on some little coupons and it worked fine, haven't actually made anything with it yet. This sixteen gauge square tubing (and sheet) is a big issue locally.
The clear cups are just great!

Your welds are therapeutic jody. Thanks for de-stressing 👍

Very nice. I will be ordering my Arsenal kit for #17 with the next few days.
AWESOME THANKS FOR SENDING THIS OVER. GOOD TO KNOW.
very informative, thanks for posting
this video motivates me to stride to be one of the best thank you for the tips!👏
*_CONGRATULATIONS MAN, VERY GOOD._*
Love the videos you never stop learning 👍
Don't forget to tell the students to clean their filler rod. There's a large surface area on a cylindrical object. No need to introduce contaminants on the filler rod.
Hola. Me puedes decir que tipo de máquina usas porque el vídeo muestra que puedes soldar bronce y acero al carbón meninteresa
Thank you for all the video you upload and help us to have more knowledge about welding
Good tip on pulsing Silicon Bronze.
Thanks for sharing.
I have the hardest of times not making a tiny melted puddle of base metal while having enough heat for the SiB to flow
I get it that the arc is to be focused on the puddle not on the base metal .. but I find that the bronze won't flow if the base metal is cold?
Great video as always! Can you please do a video on what it would look like if you ground down and finished one of those brazed joints? I am interested in more TIG braze videos. Thanks Jody!
I did once use gas from a mig, but this did meld the wolfram pin quickly
Perfect timing. I've been banging my head off some thin wall tubing with the issues you mentioned (burning through/bringing contaminants forward). I'll try the lay wire technique with thicker filler tomorrow. Thanks!
Very nice, I'm going to apply this to welding out headers.
Thanks so freaking much!!!!! Just starting to learn how to Tig!
hi i would like to start welding aluminum. I bought a cheap TIG welder for a start, but I can't dissolve aluminum beautifully, which can be wrong
Does anyone here know if you can TIG braze cast iron with silicon bronze? I'm aware of oxy fuel brazing cast iron but it's not an option for me in this situation
These videos sooth my mind after the trauma of my crappy arc welding. Pay attention brain, no more rabbit dropping welds!
Instructive video as always. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Jody, great video man! The new kits look like a great deal to have. Be blessed!
Mr J. Would you plz give me the episode # for DC brass tig? I’m running a 56 shorty (short hood)
Thank You 🙏🏽
Well explained. Thanks Jody
Is it possible to braze a tungsten carbide tip on a steel tool using tig welding?
Would you please make a video about it?
Thank you.
What's the best Tig machine to try to learn to Tig weld with ? Keeping price in mind . Thank you ! Love your show!
Hello im jeff p I love your videos but I haven't found a video on cold welding and what all kinds of metals can you use that tipe of welder on or can you do the same kind of welding with a a/c d/c tig ???

please tell me what type (brand) of welding machine do you use? thank you
I love your videos and I would like to learn more. You have a video or course in Spanish thanks.
Now I know what TIG is. Thank you.
I'm having trouble with tig brazing. Don't know what I'm doing wrong, got alumibronze and silicon bronze. Obviously need ac on alum but can't get the Silicon bronze to behave on DC. Just looks a mess.
Hey Jody here,let`s do it!!
Great video as always, I learn something new every time!
Always good to see you movies , always learn something new thank you
Awesome instructions ,!!!!
nice video
Hi Jody - I’m having trouble welding 2mm wall Mild steel tube to 1.8 mm plate. Weld is fine but the plate is puckering on the other side of the weld, and I can’t grind to blend out on that surface. Any tips?
Уменьшить ток если нужен провар на всю глубину используй поддув с обратной стороны
Great video, tutorial and editing 👍👍
Looking good flowing that honey! Thanks for that video Jody! I always look forward to your videos! Top notch!!
don't you ship to spain?
Anyone can explain me why he sticks the needle after he stops the arc?
Is it a better way to cool it down??
Just ordered my TIG finger! Save my pinkie!!!
Can you braze without having pulse on your machine or is it a must have requirement
how many mm should the welding electrode be, and what type or brand? thank
Jody great video thank you. Can you do a video on cold welding. Looks similar to tig pulse. Thank you.
I want to ask if all types of metal can be connected using TIG welder
Fused? Why yes, but steel and aluminum will be your most common workpieces.
can we do tig brazing for brass?
Hi can welding any steel?
What are the practical differences between the ER70-S2 and the ER70-S6 when it comes to thin wall tubing? Any one is preferable to the other, and for what reasons? Thanks.
Dan L. Probably go s2 as there is less mill scale on tubing.

Wich gas use sir branze
Hi I'm new to TIG have been trying to learn from You tube, I hear 1 instructor saying don't put the wire in the puddle but I see you did and it works good so what should I do?
Thanks for the video ! What is the purpose of the cup size?
What is the cheapest set up that you can buy for the DIY guy to get "professional" results? Thanks
How can i buy this kit?
I cannot for the life of me get my sillican bronze welds to looks anything like yours. I use the same size i have clean material and rods and they don’t look good what am I doing wrong?
Jody is the God of Welding
“In the puddle”, are you dipping the tip in the fluid making contact or you mean something else?
Thankyou for your help
Man...... I REALLY missed watching your videos! Too much outdoor activities lately. I like that kit you built up for sale. Thanks for GREAT videos........ I really like that silicon bronze brazing. Gbyay!!!!
Good welding
Sir very very nice
Thanks for the awesome video Jody I’m sure he put a lot of hard work into it you the man Jody
Hello Maestro :) do have a video that is about Pipes on flats? Like this: lo
Hello, can you recomand what tig filer is for magnesium
if you point you tungsten at the solid wall instead of the cut end on those t joints you dont get those blowouts. its not a heat problem its your position.
hi sir thanks for video , very instructive ; some questions help for you please
- need to buy tig pulse , or double pulse , not expensive price , and try the silicone bronze on stainless ,and aluminium metal mainly
- is silicone bronze available for tig welding , on sheet metal , and aluminium ?
my objectif is to weld fastly with tig and less power current , that"s why the silicone bronze filler could be the solution
where to order for this equipments thanks advise
Hi Jody, great video thanks, could you tell me the spec of the phosphor bronze rod please, I tried to TIG braze today and it looked bad, all hissy n all, thanks from the UK
drop so how do you do up..... how do you drop making...
At 1:45 you show the word "Title". Is that intentional or a place holder?
Thanks again for video Jody... touching on subjects that I have not use in years but brings back info... (Thumbs UP) < HINT: if you doing lots of tig... GET BIG BOTTLES... you will use lots of gas>
Great videos. I have a question, should you need to place an Aluminum or SS plate under your aluminum work peace when you welding on a steel table?
Hace muchos años solde con gas argon y fue una experiencia muy grata ojala y mi dios me de licencia para volveer hacerlo,, saludos desde Oaxaca, Mexico.
What machine are you using here sir?
Nicest arc shots available on the web!
Can u do a tutorial on welding a single bevel butt joint in 1g, 2g,3g, 4g?
Good job 👍🏻👍🏻
Is it CuSi3 tig rod?
Awesome !
