It's important to go to welding school but it is more important to learn how to weld. It doesn't matter what you do just practice and keep practicing. Nobody can hold your hand. It's up to you

I'm not a welding inspector, a safety man, or your mom. Do your own research. I'm not responsible for anything you do. Have an awesome, awesome day. Stay safe.
hey taylor I just started practicing downhill and the root and hotpass and fill with 6010 I do great, but when I use the 5/32 pipeliner 8010 it seem to always get stuck for me on the side and bottom of the pipe. What are something than could cause that? I run it at 130 amps so I don’t believe that’s to cold.
Try moving faster. The puddles probably trying to fall on top of you. I had that same problem.
Skate it in there ol son
ima young guy in the game nd the best piece of advice i was ever told frm my og coworker "sometimes for a youngin you just gotta shut your mouth nd listen to the older generation to get ahead in life" nd thats why i watch these videos for tips nd tricks
You can learn a lot by doing that. There’s a lot of good tips in the comments as well.
@TaylorWelding1 oh damn thats crazy what did i win og
I worked as a maintenance mechanic for many years. Like an old farmer,I got used to 6011, 1/8 inch for everything. Clean, dirty, rusty, muddy, in the field, any position.
I've mostly used 6013 , grew up unsupervised uneducated, 6013 was about all we could get rural Ireland
“Not too long….it’s a big rod” 😂 tell em bro
Actually I been tinkering with some 6011 lately and dear lord them things are like lightning rods
Fleetweld 180
I am from Mexico and I don't imagine that in Ireland you can't get some things like that that are easily available in Mexico, considering that your country is first world. Regards.
@@supercalcium that was rural Ireland back in the mid seventies ! Different world back then
Regards
Over the years I've welded with a lot of different processes, oxy acet, stick, mig, dual shield, tig, subarc, yata yata. My favorite rod is probably 7018 (so long as it's kept in a hot box). Some of my co-workers used to marvel at my overhead and vertical skills, to which I'd reply, it's all about mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter. No, seriously, if you are able to relax and not stress out about the position, it all becomes a lot easier, and your welds will reflect your state of mind.
That arc shot is spectacular
You can thank my dad for that. He's good at many things holding the camera is one of them. Thanks for noticing
Great videos Taylor. I’ve been welding for over 30 years. I rigged up in 06 and been pressure welding since then. I’ve done a few small pipeline jobs but mostly been doing facility new construction. I started teaching welding a few years ago and I love it. So I’m in the field for half the year and teaching the other half. Thankfully it’s been the cold half. lol. You have a great style and ease of explaining what you’re doing. You’re helping a lot of people in and out of the trade. Ive had a couple of stingers like the one you have. Amazon calls them European style electrode holders. I’ve been using the Stinger V for the past 10 years now. Love that stinger. I just wanted to say hi and tell you I appreciate the work you’re doing.
Thanks, brother. I appreciate that.
Nice video, Not to long ago at work I was criticized about trying to stick weld everything. I suck at Tig , seldom Mig but 7018 well that's my thing. Thanks again
Me to i mock the guy's who cant weld stick
tig welders think they some hot sh*t, realistically you can get by without doing any tig, plus who wants to be dealing with all those gasses, pedals, hoses, tanks, cups, filler rods, electrodes, settings and everything else it takes to tig, on top of that it’s the slowest process known to man.
i could care less about the lgbtq colored rainbow they sometimes get on their welds 😂
I don’t even weld but i find this guy very interesting, has a great voice and cadence to want you to listen in. Larry
I’m barely a recreational welder. Self learned, though be it not very well. I’m learning a bunch from your videos while enjoying every minute. Thanks.
Hi Chris! Good to see a video from you sir. My favorite rod is .045 Lincoln 71A85 Ultracore ( gas shielded flux core) but, if I have to stick weld; being a structural kinda’ weldor, it’s 7018.
you are a very good welder & thanks from all of us who hobby weld . one thing is certian overhead is tha true test of welding skills
There is something about this that transcends mere work. The look of the arc is mesmeric.
"Relax and go off someplace else," -- if you can get there, that's great advice for making time fly.
Favorite rod. 7/32 7024, 6010 any size, 7018 any size.
@TaylorWelding1 Really. That's neat.
My first time watching this guy. Great presentation and delivery. I didn’t know Billy Bob Thornton could weld. 😂.
He’s fair.
I love your style of passing on knowledge thank you and 6010 is still my favorite all sizes I even like the way it smells lol
Good choice!
My favorite welding rod is the last one of the day.😊
I LOVE THIS CONTENT PLEASE DONT STOP
Thank you for the encouragement
I never asked because I knew you had most of your experience and knowledge developed on 6010, 7018, and 8010. Doesn't take long to get that if you're old-school and know how to "study a channel" (see/search videos on a channel with good content). But I'll listen and see what you say again. I've got a stack of 6010 (haven't burned it since high school) because this machine will run it, but right now there's an HF start issue on the TIG side and I'm not done sorting that out yet. Glad I have a 3-year warranty.
Okay, I'll get some fat 8010. I have a project in mind for that.
Thanks for all your time and effort sharing your impressive knowledge and insights
Thank you TB. I appreciate you being here in the comments
@@TaylorWelding It's my pleasure good sir
I'm a small time mobile welder who absolutely loves stick. It's way easier to do things like "long arc" and manipulate the rod to do what you want it to... but.. self sheilded flux core makes short work of a job like that. It's definitely the rust. I'm assuming you were using e71t-11 and it is a lot like 7018 in the fact that it's way happier with a clean surface. It even gets angry when you try to weld over the slag it leaves behind whereas a 6010/8010 will eat through whatever tf. It seems to be fine with mill scale though. The beauty of e71t-11 is being able to get better penetration than a 6010 with a slightly higher tensile strength than a 7018. Granted, the 7018 has a higher yield strength at 81,000 psi with e71t-11 being 70,000 psi. Most people screw up by having the voltage too high. AWS classifies e71t-11 as a "spray type transfer", and they can achieve that with lower voltages because the wire is hollow. AWS says the optimal settings for .045 self shielded flux core is 17v and 170 wire speed. I just finished up a week long job shooting .045 flux out of a PrimeWeld Mig 180 at 18.2v and 177 wire speed with awesome results. I was rebuilding 1/4" thick i-beam columns and it was laying in smooth with a hiss. Very little spatter that were tiny bbs. The best part is time saved brother. I love stick but the flux is growing on me very quickly. Great video as always.
Great advice for any trade. Don’t stress and breath.
Great video as always super informative.. camera work was awesome, love the puddle close up
Thank you
Funny thing you mention that about the flux core. I have used lots of flux core, both self sheilding and dual shield. Getting porosity was seldom a problem with the right wire and settings. Sometimes the odd worm track with self shielding flux core. But the only time i recall getting porosity is when there is dirt/sand on the metal or on magnetic pipe. But its also a different technique to weld flux core as compared to mig or stick.
I don’t know what the deal is. It’s got to be the material.
@TaylorWelding it could also be the wire or the settings. It runs on DCEN polarity. Opposite of mig. For self shielding you need a further stick out on the wire. The wire can absorb moisture from the air over time too which can cause porosity. So an old roll sitting in the welder can go bad over time.
Plus not all flux core wire is created equally. Some manufacturers have good quality all the time while others have poor quality control. One roll will be good and the next 💩 and won't weld good no matter how hard you try.
Good info in this video,Little tips like this go along way in a welding career,Thank you ...............................................................Fort Worth,Tx
Chris!!! good night brother all the way from NY, I am a season pipeliner and its still such a pleasant time watching you do what you do best, very nice, I hope you land a huge one in the oil fiald of LA I would not mind working for you brother stay safe you're good man.
Thanks brother I appreciate that. I always love hearing from the men that have been in the field doing what we do. Thanks for being here and thank you for the kind words.
Back in the day when I smoked rods on a regular basis we used 11018, they burn really well and give that extra tensile strength to hold most anything….
What did I win?
Watch were you’re going and remember where you’ve been. Amen & Thank you
I just bought my first welder an old school lincoln AC-225-S stick welder never have welded before so I'm gonna have some fun doing this always wanted to learn, I know I'll be using your videos as reference a lot. Can't wait to actually get started.
Any questions
Taylor's Life Lesson Episode One. "You gotta watch where you're going, but you gotta remember where you been."
That's a slick tip. I wish I would have known that when I did my c ticket , it would have saved me lots of deep painful burns. Thanks Cris , you have an awesome day✌
Thank you
I have one thing for the beginners. That muscle control/memory for reaching out and welding or any other odd position you have to use isn't something you start out with. He makes it look easy because he is a vetran welder. It takes time and practice to do it confidently. What I'm saying is don't give up if it doesn't go well even after multiple sessions and situations. It WILL get easier over time. Just keep your cool and work at it.
That's great advice thanks for the info
Great job Chris! I need to stop procrastinating and get a welder.
Been running some Esab 7014 for some home projects. Probably one of my favorite rods.
6013 (farmer rod) for sheet metal. 7018 for almost everything else. 7024 for long , heavy deposit requirements.
Just found your channel, I love your content! I'll make sure to watch all of your videos, looking forward to the next time you upload! Hopefully soon.👍
Sensational videos. I've been welding MIG to many years and now back with stick,your tips are unique and invaluable 👍
Awesome video and very good instructor.
Great video I like 7018 🙏☮️🇺🇸
Awesome tips thx man kinda new at welding don't have a big machine well I just have a thunderbox Miller but like the bending your rod and turning it staying back Everytime I have to weld under something it is my downfall and your right neck hurting all bunch up so thx cool tip .....7018 my fav ...
Like 6011 rod for a lot of stuff..thks for sharing..Peace
I used 1/8" pipeliner 8p+ for the first time today, it doesn't feel any smoother than 5p+ but I like it. I'm not sure why but the 6p+ feels like butter to me.
P.s. I thought for sure you were going to say the rod that makes me money 💰
GREAT VIDEO, THANKS 👍👍👍
@TaylorWelding1 thanks 👍👍
I hope yo see you putting out videos again. I love your channel. Hope everything is going well. Wishing you the best.
That was a nice camera shot!! Good work!!
You can thank my dad for that.
Great welder, beautiful quality
Wow great video so helpful for a young guy trying to learn
If I only had one machine it would be a stick welder (SMAW). It's a stick welder, TIG welder, welds most metal like steel aluminum, SS Castiron. Plus can cut, poke a hole in plates and Carbon Arc Gouge...
hi my friend, been a bit since I visited.....cheers, Paul in Florida
Nice work
I'm a white knuckle welder ! lol...good video as always thanks
Damn Chris that weld looked killer. My beads never run half that smooth even when I’ve tried study’n your moves. I’ve just started stick welding in Jan and prolly burned like 100lb of rods so far, actually random I grabbed a 5lb tote of Lincoln 7014 yesterday and wow that thing runs crazy smooth, besides my 6013, 7018, I might just like the 7014 the best this far
@TaylorWelding1 Chris are you sayin I actually won something?
Alright! It's been a while. Good video, thanks
Fantastic Video !! 🤗
Have you Ever Tried RockMount Tartan AAA Rod? Its a Fast Freeze that will burn through Anything!
I like your easy going style. Not a welder other than for hobby now and then but I'm sure the industry could use a lot more mentors like yourself.
Thank you
Great vid I enjoy your tips I always learn something you make it look so easy glad you got an arc shot in there as well lol I pray all is well
Great advice, great video. Your a cool dude
Thank you. I appreciate the compliment.
Hey FP!! Didnt know u had this channel. Was looking at other welding vids and found this channel.
I'm running outta coat hangers from the closet, need to learn how to use these coated rods someday soon.
You said we had a squirt gun 😂 flux core machine lololol. Nah man this specific video watching the close up footage actually helped me a ton man
What is your favorite welding rod?
As far as cattle gaps and such. I know every job Has its own applications and procedures. But I'm just talking about a simple well built cattle gap
My favorite rod is 6011. It gets a bad rap as a "farm rod" because farmers aren't welders.😂
6010 for sure, feels way more forgiving than 7018
I"ve enjoyed 7018 as much as any, but I've never had a REAL welding machine before and had to compromise. Looking fwd to burning some 6010 for that awesome punch and fast freeze. Ask me again in 2 years. But really it's all about the rod that gets the job done properly, that's all that matters.
HYP. Hippies bro.
What a great character . I just sub'd . :)
Watch where you're going remember where you've been... Good words.
You are the man whoop whoop
Slick Ricky right there!
What’s a good welder for a DIY’r for around the house or maybe a neighbor needs something done.
TIA
So my business is named after my grandfather “Tookie”. He always would say exactly what you did, “you gotta watch where you’re going, and remember where you’ve been”. 6:31
Thanks for unlocking that memory of him! Happy welding! 🇺🇸
Can you do the step method with 7018 1/8
Just came here to say i hope you’re doin okay and i look forward to seeing you post more videos!
Thank you. I’ll be back this week
Chris please make a video on vantage maintenance and how to check and change your brushes
Man, I’m not much of machine mechanic
Its strange that you cant git flux core to work right Ive run it for about 30 years W/ no problems = sae 400 - LN25- with lincoln MP NR 211 5/64” wire - Puts out beautiful welds
never any holes
And thats with big heat 250-275 Anyway i really enjoy your videos
I keep lookin and i am subscribed. But haven’t seen ya lately-- Larry
Anyone else wondering where he’s at haven’t seen a video in a while hope everything is ok
What is the difference in stepping and whipping?
Can you run a 7018 the same way??
Yes… step and pause
Good video. My girl got all hot and bothered about you talking "big Rod" and I am in heaven! Thank you!
Rock on!
I love all your welding videos, soo wholesome and fun to learn, you need a welder let me know, I'll be happy to work with you. #ALWAYSLEARNING😁
that stinger you got is it similar to the LENCO LT-400? looking for a new one
7018 all day, no stepping, no whipping, no 5mm. especially on anything over 1/4"
Awesome Welder and Teacher Mr. Taylor. Thanks for the tips!
When I get new rod, I feel like I can weld.
Nice video
golden arm !
Have you ever used the millermatic 250x? Did you get good results?
No I haven’t… if I did, I don’t remember it
Myself I rather stick welding too I'll do mig too but that stupid flux core I don't like I'll do it only if I don't have another choice
That flux core is picky. I’m dealing with it right now.
You wouldn’t happen to have another stubby rod saver stinger to sale would you ? I would love to have one
Hey if u get a chance, I dont know if you have mentioned it in any of your videos, but you should make some merch for sale, "Taylor Welding" hoodie. I'd buy it to represent, ur a good dude.
You did reverse the polarity for the flux core right?
Maybe 🤔 not
All I use is 6011
Can you do a 6010 video all the way to cap please
Hey man I've been watching your channel for a couple years now. Long story short I'm from Arkansas as well. I always thought you were because of your accent. I'm a welder and I'm currently about to graduate out of a well known "Elite" welding school. I know you probably have heard of it. I would love to reach out to you and just get some advice. I don't know if you'll see my comment. I know you're busy take care
What amperage do you run 5M on your vantage?
I don’t really know a little bit hotter than a 5/32
@@TaylorWelding ok what do you run 5/32 at
I just started using this 500 vantage with digital read out and I can’t seem to find the right amperage
Wasn’t there some kind of porosity at the end section?
I don’t think so
Do you still have extra stubby’s? Would love to buy one off you.
How can I buy a stringer likes yours
do you tig??
when's the next video coming?
i have seen a few people that like 7014
