I would definitely add a wire wheel for the grinder. Anytime I use stick or flux core welding I use that a lot more often than a chipping hammer. It’s quicker and it won’t leave any dings on the weld. Also a quality bastard file is very handy, especially after cutting metal, granted that is more of a hand tool.
If it’s a good weld, almost all your slag will come off with a good scrape. I usually keep a sharpened 7018 rod with me and use it as a pick if there’s tight inside corners, like with full pen vertical
You just described my life the past 6 months I've spent probably $3000 on power and hand tools plus a B Tank, Torch and Welding Machine recently! I hope I made the right decision 😂
Thanks for the tip on not using a cut-off wheel for the wrong purpose. I've seen the results of an accident (where one disintegrated) and it was ugly. More people need to mention that.
Im an amateur blacksmith hobbyist. But i did a small class for welding in Ag back in middle school. This means that I think just broadening my hobby to metalworking would be beneficial
For the metal-work-beginner the most important thing to start with is a workbench(1) and a vise(2). Angel-Grinder(3) is a must-have, indeed. Mandatory are the hand tools(4) like Skrewdriver, wrenches, hammer, pliers and so on. Not to forget a socket wrench set (5). These top 5 makes you ready to go. Next on the whish-list might be things like table drill press, welding machine, benchgrinder and other nice-to-haves!
Thanks Crafted Workshop- I just picked up an MP 210 last week (mostly influenced from watching you, Diresta, April, Jackman,etc on youtube) and boom.... just saw the rebate!!! Just filled it out and so stoked. Also the welder is worlds better than the box store welder I started with. I'll send in a letter to Lincoln to let them know you guys helped me make my choice to get into welding. Keep up the great work! Thanks always for the inspiration!
Great tips on tools. I have switched from fibre cut off wheels to the Lenox diamond wheels. No black dust, they don’t break apart and send shrapnel flying across the shop and the diameter doesn’t change. They are pricey but I like em. Home Depot has a Diablo one for 19$
Good video, but if you can't afford $1000 for a welder to see if it's something that you may do, get a $100 flux core with .35 small wire spool (110v) . That way you can mess around without busting the bank, and I like flux core for some things. Do your research, and have fun too!
I bought a new lincoln 110 and use fluxcore. The machine can also run gas, but for the minimal amount of metal work that I do in my shop it seems to be an good option. If I remember correctly I spent around $750-800 for everything to get set up. That included the machine, auto tint helmet, additional wire, gloves, and other tools mentioned here. I spent some time practicing on various welds and material thickness. Overall pretty happy with the set up based on my needs
I'd agree on most of that, except for the fact of the cheap end welders don't produce the high quality welds that's needed for metal depending on thicknesses. Plus money comes and goes, ppl that don't know how to budget their money compared to those whom save up wisely and spend wisely goes a long way.
I got a $100 stick welder that says ZENY on the side and it seems pretty good on 120V, it'll do 25 to 75 amp all day long though it's maybe 30V OC. Have yet to run it on 220V @160 amp (60% Duty cycle) but maxing out a welder suggests something bigger would actually be the right tool for the job.
Wow... you are REALLY on a roll this month. The content is totally 5-star. Don't know how long you can keep pumping this great stuff out but will certainly enjoy it while you do. Good job!
Hi Johnny, I am a welder by trade and now a welding inspector. I still weld in the garage and I wanted to tell you this video was spot on! Your 5 tools, definitions, and terminology were perfect! Anyone could get started and feel confident with those tools and tips. -Matthew
Great vid, man, informative, and to the point without a lotta trying to be funny or cute for the camera. TOO MANY people mug it up trying to act like Tim The Tool-man or something. Really enjoyed watching. Keep 'em coming.
At the moment, I am researching getting into welding and buying a introductory welder (prob stick), so this video is AMAZING. as are most of your videos. Thanks again Johnny! Really appreciate the information and insights to these tools!
sir go with a multi process machine. even one of the harbor freight ones. then learn stick / smaw . if you can do that you can do anything. also note that tig and oxy fuel welding work the same. 1 uses electric and the other uses gas and flame to melt the metal. i learned on gas and moving to stick was a hard jump for me. my tig looks like art, my mig looks like i know what i am doing. my stick looks like i have a brain injury and or a stroke. it penetrants and holds but looks like crap on top. getting better every day but not willing to trust it on my boilers yet.
Hey there. Man what a great video. I’m getting into welding and looking to go to school for it. I’m hoping to do it in the side while working all the while trying to do some business for local farmers and fixing their farm equipment. Thank you for the great video and look forward to many more.
I own 5 Lincoln welders, 2 flux core for the outdoor quick repairs for customers ( fences,doors etc) I have a Lincoln 3200 HD weld pac I use for Aluminum, 1 Lincoln 180 I run 85/15 Argon (220v) and the Lincoln 210 with 100% Co2 for window bars , metal doors light frame work, for stck welding I try to run 220v only. The only welders I use in my shop are Lincolns.
Thanks , learned a lot never knew about those pliers The only thing I have is an angle grinder which I got from harbor freight for like $15 but I hardly use it so it's perfect.
I really like your workshop man. Really nice. Just ordered a Bosch angle grinder first. Since it's the most useful tool. Next I want to get a 2 in 1 welder, tig and arc. Thanks for the info
I remember owning a CMI angle grinder. Bought it as a kid for 20 bucks which was a lot of money for me at the time. I used it at least 10 times every month at the minimum. Welding my Miata's sill finally did that angle grinder in. 20 bucks for 7 years of service.
For grinders I always get the 2for 1 box set one I set with cutting the other with grinding. Save time for prep work. for the table that will be a good start to help metal wielding this can teach wielding. Drill bits hole saws but yes also. Don't be cheap because if they brake taps also if they brake in your work they really can be a pain to get out
Love the tips and the recommendations that you mentioned in this video. I was looking foward to learning how to weld before I become a mechanic. Thanks again!!
Hell yeah, I'm a 18 year Carpenter with multi trades to include electric, finishing, and concrete. Thank you I've been metal working. Cutting, drilling, mounting; aluminum, stainless, brass, ar500...And now it's the next natural step to weld it myself. Your video was very helpful thank you.
I haven't done any electric welding, only torch, so most of ur help went by me, haha. Maybe one of these years. But mostly a weekend warrior, so not a big deal. Thanks though.
only just came across your channel - watching and getting some ideas. really love the shelving for your tools in the background. did you do a video on it? best tools organizers???
Great to the point video. Thank you! One question: you mentioned using the combination drill/tap/countersink bits in an impact driver. I kinda question whether this is a good practice. I would think a conventional (and reversible) drill would be better. Do you know something that I don't about these bits? Thanks again!
Carts and welding tables are great first projects. The local college just cancelled all the shop classes (auto, wood, welding etc) and now focus on transferring student to four year university instead. They said to expensive and low enrollment, sad day indeed as it created a lot of good jobs for students.
You for got the wire brush to clean the weld? That's what I use to lay another weld on top of the other weld. I don't use the chipping hammer that puts dents in your welded work. The chipping hammer is good for stick welding.
Yo Good morning 🌞 You are doing a great work bruh Am new here And am preparing to go into welding and fabrication I will love to see more basics Have lovely day 😊
hey that MP210 does not tig aluminum.. it is a DC tig machine not AC so it is for steel and stainless steel mainly.. can use aluminum rods with the stuck welding function but thatll give poor results or can get a spool gun to mig aluminum.. i have a similar machine made by ESAB with the same setup and limits.. looking back id recommend buying a nice mig machine then when youre proficient with that buy a tig machine, tig will cover stick welding aswell, youre gonna need two tanks of gas to do mig and tig so masewell have two seperate welders and carts ect
Thanks for the cool video. Very helpful info. I'd be interested in a companion video to this that talked about the safety gear too. That is something I am not sure about and would appreciate some guidance as to what is needed. You mentioned the helmet and a jacket, but a deeper dive into what to look for and what will work well would be great.
I would suggest starting with stick when you’re teaching yourself to weld. Cheaper to get into for sure, and it will 100% make you a better welder, it really teaches muscle memory and fine motor control.
Tanx dude very informative. Only one thing, the Lincoln 210 mp doesn't tig aluminum, I know cuz I own one bought it to rig aluminum but found out too late tigs weld anything but aluminum
Ughhh still living with mom wanting to get into this and other things but the garage is hoard town usa and im low on funds. Warehouse robot work isnt for me. I want a real trade i.jist dont know where to start. Herbs and tinctures brought me here haha I wanted to make a press and sketched it all out and thought itd be awesome but tools.of the trade are costly. Thanks for this info I'll have to figure something out.
Hey Johhny , Great intro vid for those whom want to start metal working! Just a safety comment: You mentioned NOT using a cutoff wheel to grind material, due to applied lateral loads causing the wheel to fail. Very sound advise!!! You went on to say that the angle grinders rotate at 30,000. For viewers info, you should not be rotating 4 1/2" diameter wheels at more than 13,000 RPM. Most angle grinders spin between 11 and 13k. I just wanted to point that out before someone chucks up a cutoff wheel on router arbor puts in that old router sitting collecting dust, and blows up the wheel due to excessive centrifugal force. Being a metal, and woodworking apprenticeship instructor in the past, I have seen " crazy" applied. Most wheels will state the RPM not to exceed. Thanks for your continued zeal in producing instructional vids. A fellow North Carolinian. All the best and God bless.
Awesome. That welder rebate is great. I'll have to go with thst. I got a PM 180 dual, but I'd rather have the multi process so I can grow in skills. That drill/tap combo is cool. I'm definitely getting some of those!
WHADDUP 216! wasnt expecting to hear that!!! nice videos keep up the good work... and the editing is fine btw, with everyone's short attention span now-a-days you need to have constant stream of info and short concise videos
Thanks I've already bought a welder but I do appreciate the comeback you guys were really great I've been watching a couple more lately I never watched any of videos I'm glad I found the one I did thanks God bless
Hey Johnny, love the channel. I'm debating on a Linncoln 210MP or Eastwood MP250I. I have a dedicated 220VAC 50 amp outlet so 110VAC is not an issue for me. I see pros amaz cons to both. What are your recommendations?
No offense but stick is so yesterday, very little need for it in most applications today, Mig is very easy just use the settings on the machine you are close enough. I have stick, Mig & Tig, haven't used the stick in over 10 yrs I guess.
I like it when you’re talking about clamps and not using clamps with plastic on them and there you go popping up two videos specifically in both the clamps in each of them have plastic on them oh well it’s a good thing we’re not all perfect huh.
Hello, great video and very good advice. - Is there any chance that rebate is going to be offered again. I wanted to buy the 210MP, with the TIG Pack, but the rebate seems to have expired last year.
How about a drill, if you don't have one? Would a regular corded drill be enough, or do you need a strong drill, like a cordless drill? Is there any use for a regular woodworking cordless drill in your metalworking projects? BTW you can buy the hex shank drill taps for *A SIXTH* of the price on eBay, and they are great! A set of 6 for I think around $5!!
Of course a drill would be a prerequisite, but I'm assuming most people watching this video own a drill. I use the same drills I use for my woodworking in my metalworking, as I'm generally not drilling very large holes.
Things that i think is also very useful in a metal working shop: butane torch or small acetylene for heating metal for bending; good quality wire brush; set of quality files; and a rotating bench vise. All those things are really useful if you are starting.
Great video Johnny. Great meeting you at workbenchcon! I found your video because I searched "welding for beginners" and your video popped up. Because I recognized you I clicked.
I'm going to trade school to learn all forms of welding. This video is extremely helpful thank you!
Same here
@@angelmontiel3186 How was your experience? I’m bout to take my compentency tomorrow to enter a program

"buy once, cry once" that's a sweet expression.
Sick of hearing that. Hipsters act like they invented the damn saying
The past month I’ve done a few metal projects with friends set up for that and this list is spot on from what I’ve experienced.
P
Why the hell did I watch this.. now I'm going to go out and spend a whole load of money getting this stuff and learning how to weld
You just described my life the past 6 months I've spent probably $3000 on power and hand tools plus a B Tank, Torch and Welding Machine recently! I hope I made the right decision 😂
Welding is great because even duct tape has its limitations on big metal structures.
Because you’ve been chosen. Go learn to weld. Expand your skills and you expand your wages
@@Mikey-ym6ok ya welders make 250k a year at the plant I work
@@bsnoonan Dangerous but worth it!
A good square and tape measure.
Digital calipers :)

Thank you sir... You really helped me , a person who is unemployed and broke ..
I have the Lincoln 210 as well great little welder I love it no problems with it except an electrical issue Lincoln fixed it just fine.

Except for the part that you can't weld aluminium with that particular welder type.

Best way to learn at your community college or an old school welder that's been around. We have a lot to teach
Have this same welder for 4 years or so. After I got it dialed in it feels really professional and comparable to the nicer welders at work.
I haven't done any electric welding, only torch, so most of ur help went by me, haha. Maybe one of these years. But mostly a weekend warrior, so not a big deal. Thanks though.

I agree on the need for a tripod. It was making me feel seasick.
Great to the point video. Thank you!
One question: you mentioned using the combination drill/tap/countersink bits in an impact driver. I kinda question whether this is a good practice. I would think a conventional (and reversible) drill would be better. Do you know something that I don't about these bits? Thanks again!
I started out with a Miller multimatic 215
Carts and welding tables are great first projects. The local college just cancelled all the shop classes (auto, wood, welding etc) and now focus on transferring student to four year university instead. They said to expensive and low enrollment, sad day indeed as it created a lot of good jobs for students.
Wow, that’s a bummer! Not everyone is destined for a four year degree.
Great high density information!!! Thanks!
Thanks, glad it was helpful!
You for got the wire brush to clean the weld? That's what I use to lay another weld on top of the other weld. I don't use the chipping hammer that puts dents in your welded work. The chipping hammer is good for stick welding.

Yea, unfortunately this video is a few years old at this point!
@@craftedworkshop I'm a few years behind lol
look up cubitron discs. best thing to remove metal quicker than grinding wheel

Hey Johhny ,
Great intro vid for those whom want to start metal working!
Just a safety comment:
You mentioned NOT using a cutoff wheel to grind material, due to applied lateral loads causing the wheel to fail.
Very sound advise!!!
You went on to say that the angle grinders rotate at 30,000.
For viewers info, you should not be rotating 4 1/2" diameter wheels at more than 13,000 RPM.
Most angle grinders spin between 11 and 13k.
I just wanted to point that out before someone chucks up a cutoff wheel on router arbor puts in that old router sitting collecting dust, and blows up the wheel due to excessive centrifugal force.
Being a metal, and woodworking apprenticeship instructor in the past, I have seen " crazy" applied.
Most wheels will state the RPM not to exceed.
Thanks for your continued zeal in producing instructional vids.

Have been grinding with my cutoff wheels for years. Never had one shatter.
As long as you have a light touch and buy good discs you're sweet :)
Stick welding for me always .too many adjustments on Migs ive tried both and Stick is the way to go for me
No offense but stick is so yesterday, very little need for it in most applications today, Mig is very easy just use the settings on the machine you are close enough. I have stick, Mig & Tig, haven't used the stick in over 10 yrs I guess.
Try welding very thin tin together, for example fixing rust on a car. Stick would be impossible to use. Mig is the way to go
@@Diesel8290 Try welding rusty farm equipment in the field, stick is the way to go.😉
Chris Gilliam Man Stuff yeah if your welding rusty box section together, in the corner of a field it’s the job, been there and done that 😂
What about stick welder feature. For the money it’s a good process and the best way to learn to weld
I like it when you’re talking about clamps and not using clamps with plastic on them and there you go popping up two videos specifically in both the clamps in each of them have plastic on them oh well it’s a good thing we’re not all perfect huh.
Hello, great video and very good advice. - Is there any chance that rebate is going to be offered again. I wanted to buy the 210MP, with the TIG Pack, but the rebate seems to have expired last year.
Ask Lincoln
Chop saw is a must.
Excellent video💯🎯
Great video and information for novice metalworkers like myself..now I just need the blueprint(s) to build a solar-powered porcupine needle puller..
How about a drill, if you don't have one? Would a regular corded drill be enough, or do you need a strong drill, like a cordless drill? Is there any use for a regular woodworking cordless drill in your metalworking projects?
BTW you can buy the hex shank drill taps for *A SIXTH* of the price on eBay, and they are great! A set of 6 for I think around $5!!
Of course a drill would be a prerequisite, but I'm assuming most people watching this video own a drill. I use the same drills I use for my woodworking in my metalworking, as I'm generally not drilling very large holes.
Also if you drill a lot you NEED a drill press. It's so much easier to drill holes with a drill press.
Not a necessity for beginners but definitely useful!

most ppl nowadays don't know that there are table top small drill presses available that're also reasonably priced.
Things that i think is also very useful in a metal working shop: butane torch or small acetylene for heating metal for bending; good quality wire brush; set of quality files; and a rotating bench vise. All those things are really useful if you are starting.
nice video please do one on magnet which are good ones from the fake ones thanks.
I would change de bits for a corded drill, btw, good video.
A magnetic ground clamp is a good investment to have i use it all the time.
Cool, I’ll check it out!
Great video Johnny. Great meeting you at workbenchcon! I found your video because I searched "welding for beginners" and your video popped up. Because I recognized you I clicked.
That’s awesome, thanks!
You should have a good quality wire brush for cleaning welds
