As I welding instructor and program director, I have NO issue showing any of Bob's videos to any of my classes. Instruction and information is always spot on!
I went well in school I learned anything most I accept predict long working I want anything and nobody told me anything interrupt me and I lost today I was in couldn't figure out what was wrong so I just woke up the door about 20 or 30 years ago I don't know so they told anything about that long working there or not I don't even know if they had to phones in. What I'm saying now I would like that happened there then anyway I give up willing but always wanted to find out what my mistake was now I found out thank you sir bye-bye TV
What would you think about having them write an essay on your videos instead of letting them do actual work. I am in highschool and I have a welding instructor, not a teacher.
I have a real interest in buying my first machine and learning this ART/CRAFT … it’s amazing … if I can fix metal …. Then I’ll be able to fix MOST things … that’s unbelievably valuable
@@maximkushner5647 you can be a teacher and be terrible at it. His point is that his explainations and demonstrations are understandable and well done.
Very good teacher also his accent and speaking patterns makes it so it’s easier to keep up for people like me with ADD. I’ve had teachers that were fast talkers from the city and it was just a ton of information too quickly that didn’t stick with me
I appreciate the straight forward nature of the instruction. I'm self-taught and having clear, concise, authoritative information like this is really helpful.
Ryan Cooper Good day to you. Since your self taught did you purchase a welding machine? If so what type of machine did you buy and how did you go about purchasing the right one?
Right not 17 commercials or having to sell one anything on and he didnt tell us how to plug the machine in and the right outlet and try to impose his preference. He gave his and let the viewer choose. Good observation on your part and i am a self taught person as well
Greg not sure if he saw your message. But I went with a Forney multi-process welding machine that does DC/110V/140amp. For starting out I figured it was a good choice, good price. If I ever get good enough to make money of welding I think I will buy the Esab Rebel but that joint cost $3K
I just applied to my local ironworkers Union. I can’t get work yet as I don’t know how to weld. I convinced one of the instructors to let me come once a week to practice welding. Went to my first weld class this Thursday. I sucked ass, but after a few hours I think I can get the hang of it. Your videos have helped me immensely. I’ve written everything down as if I was back in college. Thank you.
Geewiz. Thank you. I just started class last week and have zero experience. Most of the other students have had some experience: a relative owns a business or shop. It felt like baptism by fire. My instructor is hands-off and briefly mentioned a few things. These videos help tremendously 🎉. I think I got it for now.
I'm just a farmer type welder and have forgotten most of what i learned in a beginners welding class decades ago. With that said I really appreciate your on line welding classes. Thanks for taking the time and effort.
What a great instructor. Some people just want to impress you. NOT THIS GUY. No clap trap, no pointless tech, just good grounded advice from a guy that knows what he is doing. I salute you mate. Thank you so much.
Love your teaching style. As someone who just bought a welder (multi-process) for his 15 y/o who's taking welding; I now find that I want to give it a go to make retirement more interesting. Watching you is almost as good as having you here in person! Can't wait to watch more of your lessons. Thank you for making these videos.
It has been about 20 years since I welded. Was self taught. My favorite rod was 7014 DCEN. I was so hoping that you were going to cover that one. The reason I loved it was because I could literately drag the rod with the correct angle. I believe the reason for this was the electrode melted in such a way that the flux acted as an electrical insulator, when done the tip was concave. The only problem I had with it was welding vertical. Did not matter if I went up or down. I have read that this is a common problem with that rod. Other than that it was a dream rod. Slag pealed off before I was done. Very clean welds. I even tested one of my welds. It was on an auto leaf spring. Cut it in half and welded it back together. Put it in a press to see where it would break. It was not on the weld. Took the full 12 ton to do it to.
wish this man was my teacher I've never welded but I want to learn im going to trade school in august and im working with a traveling welder by my house and im watching videos that way I have some knowledge of what im doing and this man has taught me more in 20 minutes than I've learned in 2 weeks of watching other people
I’m the only girl in my welding class and I’m in the bathroom watching this because even though I know how to do it, I’m afraid I’m going to get bullied for doing it wrong. I’m terrified 🥲
I never took a welding class, but this guy would be a good teacher and be a fun class to take. Seems super laid back and explains things in layman’s terms so anyone can understand if
Great video! Ive been doing stick for over 35 years, learned from my grandfather, and he showed me the same way you are. Its always great for us "old heads" , and a damned good idea, for us to have these refresher courses from time to time! Thanks!
in the roughly 24 minutes of this video you have clarified and dispelled so many misconceptions I had about stick welding. I currently have an older Miller Fifty/Fifty AC/DC welder. Thanks to you I now know how to get much more out of the welder than I had in the past. Thank you for all you do.
I am here because I want to learn as a hobby and fabricate my own bbq smoker. I am have an extremely difficult time finding local classes on this subject matter. I am a beginner. These videos are exactly what I am looking for. I have no equipment and I haven't started yet. But I am learning the terminology and by watching. This guy is great. I used to watch my grandfather welding and cutting as a child growing up on a farm but I never touched any of the equipment.
My welder training was about 35 years ago. I ended up going right into NDT and QA and never welding again. I'm retired now and dying to relearn for fun. I'm glad I came across this video. I can still hear my instructor Mr. Hinson: "if it doesn't sound like bacon frying you are not doing it right."
Hey, I just struck an arc at school for the first time today, and I basically just blew up a bunch of 6011 sticks without depositing anything on the plate. This video has been immensely valuable to me. I appreciate you making it.
Wow. This guy just shared a wealth of knowledge with us. His personality and teaching style made this video so enjoyable. I didn't know there was such a thing as a welder groupie until I just became one :)
Just finishing my first stick welding project and now I can understand why some of my 6013 welds look crappy - I just try too hard with the stitching motion, the slag gets trapped and the result happens to be very porous. As to the video itself - that's 120% information in 24 minutes. Thank you for the video!
THANK YOU BOB FOR SHARING YOUR EXTENSIVE KNOWLEGE WITH US....."THE COMMON FOLK" YOU HAVE A "RADIO VOICE" THAT IS VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ! THANKS Mando
Bob Moffat folks.... What can you say? He's an American treasure! Thank you so much for all of the information you have made available to us Bob and team!
Fantastic Video! I've been looking for ages for someone to just give a simple and informative demonstration of stick welding techniques. Really appreciate this!
This guy is a amazing teacher he keeps u interested and knows his shit hands down the only one I watch shout to him for getting me so involved with something I have missed out on for yrs
This came up on my recommended video list and I was so glad it did. Exceptional straight forward instruction. Thanks👍. Being able to weld opens up some awesome project possibilities.
You are a great instructor . Remind me of my high school shop teacher best teacher I ever had and only one ever went to bat for me against administration. God rest him he lived to party to and man could he weld and reach how . Only class I ever got A's in . Went to do some ark welding was like I never had a stinger in my hand in my life 35 years later . You brought me right back around laying down some fine smooth clean beads 6013 made me look good with 20 mins behing scene nobody looking . Nowhere near how Jack had me going when I was all in got really good for a min but enough to raise a few eyebrows . Thank you .
If you're still breathing, it's not too late :~) I'm 59, welded when I was a teen into early 20's, not been back since, now I'm doing it as a hobby, just love it!!!
My wife just bought me an arc welder for a Christmas present .. I've learned more in 15 minutes watching these videos than I'd ever expect on my own guesswork in a year .. I'm already "stitching and whipping" like a hero ... lol ... superb and informative video .. many thanks for making it
I repair fire sprinkler systems using the 6013 2.5mm electrode. A lot of my repair work requires welding over existing MIG welds. Brilliant video and explanation of the characteristics between each type of electrode.
The Welding community has been very kind to me just like you any questions concerns techniques thank you so much for your help and you were sharing such a great thorough video. Colorado
Thank you for making this. My grandfather used to stick weld masterfully and I would have loved to learn from him but now that I’m old enough and become interested in learning to weld his eyesight and motor control has deteriorated so much that he can no longer weld :(
Finally getting into learning to weld. So new that my welder hasn't even been shipped yet. I've been watching a lot of videos and this one has been the best I've watched yet. Earned a subscriber.
This has been one of the most informative videos I have ever seen . Cannot thank you enough for your professionalism / & attention to detail . Watched several times, taking notes . Wonderful video .
6011 is the great for rusty and painted material, also very good for tacking. it's pretty good at gouging if you're not careful and it throws a lot of spatter. i keep a file handy when i'm using 7018 as slag forms on the end of the rod, and it doesn't restart easily if you don't knock it off. i use those 2 rods for most stuff.
The arc shots are great, helpful to see how far to hold off and what the puddle looks like. I think it would be even more helpful to see a wider angle of what Bob is doing to manipulate the rod and the stinger, what angle he's holding at, how he's moving his arm & body, etc.
I'm brand new to welding, and really appreciate that vid. Being at the point where I'm literally trying to figure out what sticks to but to start practicing with, that was exactly what I needed. BUT one additional bit of info that may be helpful to us newbies is what situations would these welds be appropriate. Maybe an example of the type of application you may use them for? But still great stuff! You help alot of ppl! It's a great service to the world you provide!
This should be the standard for all welding videos. Thank you for your wisdom sir. Great job. I’m trying to learn all I can before my first project. I’m building seat frames with 14 gauge steel tubing and I’m collecting all the information I can first. I’ve never welded before. This will be my first experience. Looks like 6010 DCEP is the way to go.
Thank you! Im around 3 life long welders that can barely tell me 5 seconds of what you know. 6013and 7018 are my favorites.. They make you look good!!! Lol
What a great instructor! I like his humor. (Makes a joke but doesn't let it hang). and frank (light cursing, yet bleeped) approach! My 1st welder comes in tomorrow. I'm pretty excited!
I'm 62 and have been (farm) welding since 14. Learned on lincoln 225 a/c cracker box with any rod Dad could scrounge up that the flux wasn't falling off. I've used many machines and completed many successful projects since then but still consider mine to be farm welding. I appreciate your vidios and now I know what rod numbers mean and how they effect my welding and what I was doing wrong with my techniques. Thanks to your instructions , this old dog can still learn a new trick, maybe two. Also agree with Ivan Rios, every HS shop (wood shop included) should teach this skill. ☺
Great video! The way you explained the process, it was easy to listen and understand. I have a very basic MAW for home use. After watching your video I now know why my welds are terrible! I've got my amps set way too high and I am manipulating the weld using 6013 rods! Thanks to you my welding should improve dramatically! Cheers.
I love it when I watch people that enjoy the stuff they do and opt to share it the way they *feel* it not the way is "should be taught". I absorbed everything like a sponge. Even the bleeping part came in when it should: For the operator's protection.
Didn't pick up Billy Bob Thornton here but immersed in his Southern accent. Remembered how during Watergate, I realized that Southerners were way wiser than the Andy Griffith portrayals and such. I mean, after "Beverly Hillbillies" and "Green Acres" and befoe that, the "Lum and Abner" radio program, folk from the South were portrayed as backward, funny-talking, maybe mentally challenged. Then I saw Senators Sam Ervin and Howard Baker perhaps reluctantly play vital roles in the Watergate inveatigation and I went, "Whoa! These guys are pretty sharp!" Later, I began to revisit the portrayals - Andy Griffith, et al - and I picked up on the wisdom that I had been missing in all that "aw shucks" down-home simplicity and wholesomeness. Now, when I hear a Southern accent, my ears perk up and I listen to every detail because those folk - our countrymen - are wise and smart.
Great Instructional; thanks Bob, much appreciated! First memory flashback I had listening to Bob in this vid was the “The Wolf” cartoon here on UA-cam from back in the day.

Get some nice 7014 and make some pretty looking ,civilized welds.

This guy is the best instructor I've ever listened to.
LOLed at "be steady as steady as you can, try no to fall asleeeeeep"
Excellent tutorial. Beginner here from Phil. Thanks. 🇵🇭
Thank you! Im around 3 life long welders that can barely tell me 5 seconds of what you know. 6013and 7018 are my favorites.. They make you look good!!! Lol
AMAZING VIDEO!!! Thank you so much Bob!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Been watching your videos for quite some time and I always learn something new. Thanks again.
Thank you for watching 🍻
Best tutorial I've seen thus far.
Got the old Stick welder of my Grandpa and startet learning welding. Gonna get a grinder for Christmas.
Ive been through alot of school after highschool and this man is a great teacher, and hes funny as hell. Reminds me of a welding Bob Ross😂
What a great instructor! I like his humor. (Makes a joke but doesn't let it hang). and frank (light cursing, yet bleeped) approach! My 1st welder comes in tomorrow. I'm pretty excited!
13:10 Exactly. I work on a farm and I'm teaching myself how to weld
Yo me too
I just bought me a bobcat 225 for my farm but thinking of possibly doing some mobile welding
I'm 62 and have been (farm) welding since 14. Learned on lincoln 225 a/c cracker box with any rod Dad could scrounge up that the flux wasn't falling off. I've used many machines and completed many successful projects since then but still consider mine to be farm welding. I appreciate your vidios and now I know what rod numbers mean and how they effect my welding and what I was doing wrong with my techniques. Thanks to your instructions , this old dog can still learn a new trick, maybe two.
Also agree with Ivan Rios, every HS shop (wood shop included) should teach this skill. ☺
These vids just get better and better 👍
I liked it..Very clear. Very quiet....this is da vlog i want to listen to, no loud background music.
Great video! The way you explained the process, it was easy to listen and understand. I have a very basic MAW for home use. After watching your video I now know why my welds are terrible! I've got my amps set way too high and I am manipulating the weld using 6013 rods! Thanks to you my welding should improve dramatically! Cheers.
How are your welds now that youve ajusted?
This man seems to be the coolest guy ever. Great video by the way.
“You might have to cut that part.” No way! And for an added bonus we stick mustachios. Perfecto! Learned lots to day.
I love it when I watch people that enjoy the stuff they do and opt to share it the way they *feel* it not the way is "should be taught". I absorbed everything like a sponge. Even the bleeping part came in when it should: For the operator's protection.
I love how much this guy reminds me of Billy Bob Thornton.
Didn't pick up Billy Bob Thornton here but immersed in his Southern accent. Remembered how during Watergate, I realized that Southerners were way wiser than the Andy Griffith portrayals and such. I mean, after "Beverly Hillbillies" and "Green Acres" and befoe that, the "Lum and Abner" radio program, folk from the South were portrayed as backward, funny-talking, maybe mentally challenged.
Then I saw Senators Sam Ervin and Howard Baker perhaps reluctantly play vital roles in the Watergate inveatigation and I went, "Whoa! These guys are pretty sharp!" Later, I began to revisit the portrayals - Andy Griffith, et al - and I picked up on the wisdom that I had been missing in all that "aw shucks" down-home simplicity and wholesomeness.
Now, when I hear a Southern accent, my ears perk up and I listen to every detail because those folk - our countrymen - are wise and smart.
Great Instructional; thanks Bob, much appreciated! First memory flashback I had listening to Bob in this vid was the “The Wolf” cartoon here on UA-cam from back in the day.
Awesome video. Didn't pick-up Billy Bob Thornton either....he sounds just like the actor, Chris Cooper.
