Memories of welding school at Hobart in Troy, Ohio - where they make the machines. One of the best welding schools in the world. They knew how to turn out welders from raw recruits. This video shows proper arc gap very well. Nice work.
Beautiful 1" test plate, I had to chuckle at all of your comments as you were filling it up, after welding for over 45 years, ( now retired), and full penning welds on plate and wide flange beams as heavy as 700 lbs a foot, I've done and said everything you have just said to myself as I was filling joints up to a cover pass, always trying to make that Cover perfect, lol, you look like a great welder, hope these young guys and gals pay attention to you, they will learn some good stuff!! Great video, thanks...... and best of Luck to your channel. My GI bill put me through welding school in the 70's. Made a good living all my life, welding is a vital trade for anyone willing to actually work for a Living!
I'm just coming the end of the MIG part of my UK level 2 City and Guilds and after this I can't wait to start stick welding again, loved it on my level 1 course. Just so much sound advice in this video clip, great instruction from an awesome instructor. Thank you 🤜🤛
When doing these full penitration welds we always preheat and use a needle gun between each pass to destress. Also post heat to to the same. All of our welds are ultrasound tested as well. Been welding for over 35 years, so much poor welding out there! Hopefully your video may help!
Every time I watch doesn’t matter the time day or night I wanna go grab my hood and burn some rod!!!! Great informational video. Started a new company about 6mnths ago and had to do my 3G it had been a while since I tested last company I was with for 5yrs. Did a 6G with them but the new company wouldn’t except theirs
i learned how to weld from an old dude back when i was 12, that put gas torch in one hand and a rod in the other and made me learn that first. then i went to stick, Mig and then Tig. he showed me how to weld cast iron, aluminum, anodized aluminum. this old guy from WW2 showed me a lot about welding. an old machine shop reminds me of him. thanks for the video.
Aquí iniciándome en este mundo de la soldadura, mi manejo del inglés es bastante básico, pero logré entender bastante su explicación, mil gracias por el video. Mi prueba de certificación estaa unos días. Gracias nuevamente.
Thanks for uploading the video. I was doing this same with lighter stock in a welding class. From watching you, I had my arms properly positioned, but my face wasn't close enough to the weld. You have your hands just above your ears at the start. I will try to remember that on my next try. I am getting a better helmet to see the outline of the weld too. I had trouble seeing the edges of the metal bevels using my current helmet. As a result , I wasn't going straight like I thought I was.
Im currently teaching myself how to stick weld as well as mig weld. Your channel and the videos are great and super helpful. Coming from a guy that is literally figuring it out on his own. 👍
Im a young beginner this gave me so much knowledge and actually now seeing it i am eager to start practice this is the video i have been waiting for you guys teach me everything i need to know and learn 💯
IM 18 AND I STUDY IN SKILLS SCHOOL.well actually it's very hard learning weld but thank god I found this vid.I practice for a lot of time(waist school rod lol)until I found my own style in weld btw thanks
For the time that rod fist strikes till it’s burnt up it’s just you and your little world. Nobody's fucking with you. You’re truly uninterrupted! I love it
Put some strong backs on the root side, with a mouse hole cut out . Ie two pieces of 12mm thickness flat bar,with a half circle cut out in middle of flat bar , doing this also will stop the plate being tacked on the root. And keep the plate welded more flat ,unless this has been preset for distortion.
I work in a building that has some exposed w-shapes that look to be 1" thick, or close to it. These beams have been mechanically coupled when a connection is required and I always wondered why as there are 4 rows of 9 bolts each sandwichng the beam connection with 1" plates that extend at least 24" each side of the connection. That is literally 24x6x2=72 bolts! I assumed it has something to do with the difficulty in welding members of this size and watching this video helped my understand possibly why mechanical attachments might be favored due the amount of heat this many filling passes generates. Thanks for sharing.
There's 8 in our night classes at college and we are all finding it almost impossible to get full penetration on the root weld. It looks like the simplest weld to do!! I've had over 25 attempts on 8" long practice pieces 😮. Going to try this on Tuesday night 😣
@@bubbaslaughter been up, been down, moved fast, moved slow 😂. Passed the course since then, distinctions with a bit of how do you say... Ingenuity?? 😉
First welder on RUclips teaching how to weld properly I’ve seen, there is another a white guy but he’s more of tan or shop welding. This guy is as good as me, I’ve been doing these for over 6yrs and have NEVER failed one. I never done guide lines but I guess I’ll try it next time.
Thanks for your video . Before starting, explan about rods, current, machine settings, job positions, and show clear video. Etc good work Thanks so much 🙏
I worked at Electric Boat for a few years. The test to get in was a 1” plate, flat and vertical. TIG, I’m old school from the USAF. I would have preferred, 6010’s.
After the hot pass on base metal that thick you need to transition to a 5/32 diameter filler rod. I worked at Newport News Shipbuilding and you would get reamed for welding flat down with 1/8 electrodes. These schools need to teach students to carry a larger puddle and get that joint filled.
What do you do about the warping on parts this thick, as seen in the video the part comes bowed. Is this where you would use a symmetrical bevel groove so you add even heat on both sides?
With beveled open root, does material thickness really effect Amp settings that much? I was doing 3/8 material with same rod, bevel, same gap and land and 80A was just too hot. Hard to control keyhole. 70A turned out being the ticket. With equal gap an land an bevel the point of penetration is equal in both cases. that means the only difference is heat absorbance from the sides right?
Very nice quality welding, the amount of deflection on the test plate is insane, we always put some offset pre deflection on plates of this thickness but I dont think we would have got anywhere near this.
I run 1/8 7018 between 150-170. HOT!! But...if I have a gap to deal with, I can slap a 5/32 7018 in and it runs colder and wider. And it it's great like that. A massive gap, Texas Tig!! It's not structural, it's not tested. It HAS to hold. And...it does. I will say, nobody's life depends on it. When I did structure, it's a whole different ball game. Where I'm at now, it's more rush. Weld to expectations. I do miss miss my proper welds. It takes more prep and setup. But it's superior.
Wasn't the piece of metal flat when you started? I know that wasn't the point of the video and the technique was. However its a common the stretching and shrinking as the metal gets hot and cools. Is there any pointers to mitigate this as well? The finished product is as important?
After hours of frustration, I got it, maybe it will help others: 1) go slow-feel it biting into the metal, 2) grind a groove and you 'feel' that stick evers so slightly against the metal as you drag it.
So why when doing all the .passes post root pass do you have the heat focused on the center not the stock? I thought you were supposed to walk it back and forth so as to better direct the heat and penetration. Yea I’ve done it wrong for 20 years ……..but nothing broke, I think😅
I'm trying to teach myself how to weld, and I really appreciate your videos. There's a lot of fakers out there is what I've found, your channel isn't one of them.
Nice vid. one thing i noticed is you are always favoring one plate with your angle, never the other side. i was always taught to switch sides to ensure good fusion on both plates
I am planning to build a DIY yacht/ship with one inch thick steel. I am planning to mould the internal circular frame. However I had a doubt, can I weld the external sheets of steel on the frame with a stick welding machine. What type of welding do you suggest for marine applications?
grind the bottom side of the root pass after you do it then just clamp both sides to the table, and then when ur done wait for it to cool off before you unclamp it
The metal bending shows that your welds in the middle are fusing. If you removed the welds and pushed those grooves together they'd conjoin. It's just common sense
Im new in welding sir? Im working in water filtration, were working using plate, im curios were doing root pass in the back of the bevel, i want to know sir if this is correct?? Thanks in advance for the answer
Does his welding mask neutralize the toxic fumes from the weld? It can't cost many money to add a fan to flextube and suck those fumes out the workshop. A fan for pc and an usb charger 0.5 amps should do the trick if you are on a low budget.

Been welding for 7 years as of 2022 and I still watch to learn more tricks and help better beads for myself
Never stop learning

He failed to allow for metal shrinkage as it cools.

Always remember ,hold the sides and the middle looks after it’s self,this reduces undercut works on all butt welds in all positions

waste all the rod you can, it wont last forever brother im right there with you

See that pull. That is why weldments need to be stress relieved.

Run the amperage just hot enough to before it burns through and turn it down a bit, let the puddle build, use whipping motion if using SMAW

Retired welder 6 yrs still watch weld videos
the 2 plates aren't flat anymore?
Thank you, now I know how to apply this techniques in our school.
Dios los bendiga por compartir el conocimiento . Saludo desde Colombia ..Ibagué
what about the fact that those two plates don't create a level plane and are concave after the weld?
The power of HEAT !!! 1 inch plate bended like it was made from plastic 😀😀
have you try welding the root wiping it forward ? the 7018 should be run forward so you could see it more better.

Very nice quality welding, the amount of deflection on the test plate is insane, we always put some offset pre deflection on plates of this thickness but I dont think we would have got anywhere near this.
I have my smaw tests coming up hopefully this helps
12:01 Has the assembly gone a bit U-shaped? The two plates seem to be angled to each other, not flush to each other.
This video is helping out a shit ton much love 👌🏼👌🏼 3:25
Your videos are very help full please sir upload more videos welding related
I lowe yo man you are best welding teacher ewer im see 😎🙋♂️ 👍👍
Do you grind the metal clean before you start stick welding? It looks like did grind the metal at the joint
I run 1/8 7018 between 150-170. HOT!! But...if I have a gap to deal with, I can slap a 5/32 7018 in and it runs colder and wider. And it it's great like that. A massive gap, Texas Tig!!

It no longer is flat. Huge bend where the weld is. How do you keep it flat?
I started stick welding today, wish me luck 🤣
細いビードで仕上げることは日本であまり見ないです！やってみるとなかなか難しいです！
良い仕事してますね！👍
Very nice! 6010 is a more aggressive rod than the 6011 or the 7018 and that’s a nice smooth weld!
Very well explained brother nice job
Brawo..👍👍🙏🙏🙏

Straight drag is the move for me on the root !!!!!! But to each there own
is it just me or does it look like the two plates went from being on the same plane to really bending in the weld area due to thermal contraction?
And to be honest it kinda hurts me for some reason 😅
Yea, not good
I miss the one young instructor he was awesome
That's the 👌 best knowledge 🎉thank alot
American flags, welding, trade-work, blue collar hardworking Americans, Marine corps… this is the most American video ever
If I saw this video years ago I wouldn't have quit welding because I still love it😓😓😓
I don’t even weld and I enjoyed that video 😂
আপনাদের কাজ আমার খুব ভালো লাগে এবং আপনাদের দেখে আমি এই কাজ গুলো সিখেছি

Love from Bangladesh ❤
Just curious why not bevel both sides and weld both sides?
The other plate is bending upward from the heat. Would that be a problem?
Toda la soldadura es con 6010 o terminas con 7018?
you did that real well.
Lovely root run
Great video. You’ve earned my sub.
Nice vid. one thing i noticed is you are always favoring one plate with your angle, never the other side. i was always taught to switch sides to ensure good fusion on both plates
Notice how the plates started off even and at the end one was at 30 degree angle lol?
Thank you for sharing, wich shade did you used for this video on your helmet?
Wow, looks like you have about a 10 degree "warp", plate to plate there. That's a huge fail where I come from.
How to get the welded parts plan again❓. The heating has bent them from the plan
awesome👍👍
nice stick welding🔥🔥
keep it up😎😎
How come the plate in the end is completely v shaped instead of plane
Isnt that a fail though? your plates are not flat ), which raises question, how do you prevent that?

how to avoid workpiece bending during welding?
grind the bottom side of the root pass after you do it then just clamp both sides to the table, and then when ur done wait for it to cool off before you unclamp it
The metal bending shows that your welds in the middle are fusing. If you removed the welds and pushed those grooves together they'd conjoin. It's just common sense
I wonder if rosendo ever worked around Snyder TX he looks familiar
That was amazing. Looks like a robot did those welds...(I guess one actually did! Haha) Beautiful work!!!

Been welding since 1972. Years on contracts I can't mention...still,don't mind to watch others weld
Beautiful welds only critique is that your plate got too hot and is bowed other than that it's perfect
