I love how you scratch your flux off! To me that is in the zone! I hate a guy who lays a weld down with a 7018 then grab a hammer and chisel bang bag bang cuss cuss cuss! If you learn how to use a 7018 correctly you won’t be cussing all day! I’m like you pay attention to how it wets in proper distance from puddle to rod you will wind up with a beautiful 7018 pass with no undercut! Great video brother. AWS Certified 1976 retired 1999
Fucken loved this video! Reminded me of many many good solid ass people i met along the way ...took me to a different time....thank you. God bless you n yours.
There is nothing wrong with a weave it just is prone to center cracking because of the steel growing grain. I only see it on weaves passes that are huge like 2.5 or 3 inches wide lol but I weave all the time to fill on trailers and crap like that I put stringers on everything also just depends where it is on cattle pipes I weave on structures or lifting eyes I use stringers both hold I like the way weaves flatten out. Good work brother
"Welder tryouts" 😂 I'm pretty sure i found the wire happy captain of that team down here in Florida. I follow him around all over town, fixing his broken welds.
On another note,,,,,,I can’t tell you what amp to set the machine. 1975 I was taught how to weld on a machine with no indicator arrow. Crank crank crank that outta do it ,,,,,,oops 1 crank down. I learned sight sound and feel. I passed every welding test steel aluminum stainless steel I took. E-Ray got me in 1977 thought I knew everything about welding I was your man. E-Ray a spot of 3 ft busted,,,,,,,gouged it out,,,,,,E-Ray busted,,,,,old man said let me watch you run that 7018 vertical,,,,,,why you got that rod pointed upwards cause it’s a vertical no weld it as if it is flat but it’s a vertical weld it like it’s flat Bingo passed X-Ray then I could continue to weld the pressurized vessel we were fabricating. That X-Ray told me I needed to learn how to weld and learn how to do it right! I wasn’t cocky from that day forward!
I was using Lincoln’s 1/8” 6010 and 3/32” 7018. My experience is every machine is different and then even the leads size and length come in to play when setting heat. Different brand rods also can dictate things. I was using Miller 225 Bobcat course setting 50-150 and the fine around 4. I typically stay in that course range so I can just turn up fine control to run 1/8” 7018 or 5/32” 6010. I will set a machine with 6010 if can- by having amps low enough it will stick on cold steel if pressure is applied but it will not stick if I push into weld puddle. I hope that makes sense. When welding vertically I am focusing above the puddle and at sides. I find that helps me be in control of what is happening. I am working on video of the light bulb moment when I was learning to weld vertical up. Hope to have it ready soon. Thanks!

That’s right! I appreciate it.
Good job bud I use some acetone as a final cleaning sometime
Very cool! Can tell you been at it a while.
Nice work young man!
Thank ya!
Stay safe out there don't say nothing on fire
a guy who knows what the f he is doing gets a sub from me.
it's a win - win - win. Because you not only saved time, have a happy customer but you also pissed off some keyboard warrior
It’s the gift, that keeps giving!🤣 thank ya!

Yeah, buddy! Here’s to cash flow🍻
Nice welding

How long did it take from start to finish
I think it was about 4 hours.
What kind of rod and amperage on those uphills?
I find I always dig material and have undercut and sometimes even still blow through material

@@reyerfarms8119thanks looking forward to it. Subscribed as well 👍🏼
One thing that helped me when I was struggling to weld 7018 vertical-up was an old guy who said 'keep your ropes tight'.
Done

Equal opportunity offender 😂😂
How does a 5P+ differ than a standard 6010?
The 5P+ will burn off more square and is more stable of an arc in my opinion.
THE 5p+ weld strength is 83000 psi.
Subscribed just for the humor. Nice repair too!
You should just learn to code
I did -aws d1.1 and api 1104 but I decided not to have a welding inspector present for this repair. 😂
