Stick welding gets looked down upon sometimes by laymen in 2020 but its the ideal weld for almost everything if you're a one man show. Not having to stock sheilding gas is my favorite thing. I am a pipe fitter but sometimes I have to stick weld a roof top stand or weld a unit down.
Well said Ryan, Unless I am doing a large project for example rebuilding an excavator bucket or fabricating a large structure that warrants dragging out the wire feeder, I stick weld. Set up is simple, quick, down and dirty. Get the job done, wind up the leads. On to the next job!
I am a stick welder, working abroad in germany, I make double than those fine gas loving gentlemen, staying at home and yapping about how stick is inferior.
Thank you very much for making this awesome video. Although I am certified , your technique is unique. Your videos always make an impact. I’m still not perfect, your videos are making me perfect.
good god! im salivating by how you do overhead like its second nature to you, me on the other hand im able to travel but as soon as i finish & chip my slag, porosity on some of the parts, but no worries i'll get it... 😎
On D1.5, are you allowed to use something like a sharpened tungsten electrode or a carbide scribe, to pick out slag in tight corners, where the brush and/or chipping hammer can't get to it?
Yea, my teacher showed us what he does and this is to simply use an old electrode and hammer one end flat and grind the other end into a pic, works amazing
Am just curiuos? Why do you hang your ground in the plate intead to ground it in the table Nice video but that’ my question? Greetings from phoenix az✌️
Haha yeah if u run 50lbs a week. For us who only sometimes weld 3g & 4g tests are much more strick than we are usdd too. But Carpenters rarely weld critical stuff. Sheet pile , studs, etc so yeah took me awhile to get into my 3g/4g after tens years between tests
I’ve always had to test to 1/8 or less reenforement I really wish I had that extra 1/16” like your doing it would make it a lot easier and less stressful
Any way you can discuss what d1.1 book study methods can be the best way to prepare and what mistakes can be avoided. Thank you in advance, also love these videos really does help to see real welding.
Jason, I'm a long-time watcher, first-time poster... I love the videos, have learned so much from all of them...thank you so much for taking the time and effort to post them! I have what is probably a very silly question....how do you dispose of the backer strips...just grind them off? If so, what's your go-to grinding wheel & grit for this? Thanks again for all you do! Jon
I assumed since its just a test you don't need to remove them. Since when the do actual pipe welding there is no backer because its ends where it begans. but honestly I don't know.
No, they do help with lighting in the shop, I look over the top of them while under my hood. I use the Lincoln 4C lens and like the blue tint it provides.
Thanks for the video red 1 question I was taught when doing these 1 inch plates to do your first pass then split the bead but you did a hot pass I can see why youd do a hot pass but would it matter if you didnt?
Nope, it’s personal preference. I’ve found it’s better to run a hot pass slightly wider than trying to squeeze 2 passes in there. If the root was a bit wider, I’d probably run 2 beads in there.
How long did the 35 passes actually take in real time? About how much would those 7 inches break down to in an hourly wage? Other than that, love the videos ya'll present, and much appreciated for a hobbyist, well done!
You can blast that out in about 45 minutes really, but your interpass temp will sky rocket. On a job, that thick of metal can absorb that heat quite well, so your temp won't usually get above criteria. On one job myself and another welder smoked 5.1 miles of linear welding, uphill, using 1/8" rod, burning at 135 amps. 12 hour shifts for 3 months... they brought pallets of rod because once we got in the groove, him and I were burning 100 pounds of rod a night. Good times.
@@jordanengland4803 lol... I am a certified Ironworker welder. I just blasted one of these tests out for my students. And I said 45 minutes, not 35. I have no need to brag about things that are impossible for you. I am just saying that you can indeed do it in 45 minutes, because I have. (Edit) I just saw your wire wheel comment.... lol for real? If you are a good enough welder you barely need a chipping hammer, as I have NEVER been allowed to use a wire wheel,, only hand tools. Your slag should scorpion tail and barely hang on. Oh and for further information, I carry 3G & 4G unlimited thickness certs in AWS D1.1.
Dude. Where the hell happened to Bob Moffet? You guys are cool and all, but Bob was a carbon copy of my votech weld instructor. It would be cool to see a "welder competition" betweem you and bob. You guys put out solid content, keep it up!
You can find all types of welding rods on amazon or u can visit some welding shops in your area as 7018 is a pretty common electrode make sure to keep the electrodes in an oven before use however as it is a low hydrogen rod.
@@kelvinwilliams6999 tbh with u brand doesn’t matter with electrodes, they are all made the same otherwise they would be classified as something else, the last part of the number “8” is the specific flux used on the rod and that flux is universal on all electrodes.
Looking good dude. Did you buy that weld test stand or did you build it yourself? Also dude you do a lot of grinding , is this a side bend grinding test?
3:12 how are you calling that a stringer? Youre moving side to side...I've always called that a weave. I run two stringers for a my root with 1/8", side by side. If I'm using 5/32" I run one pass.
Ah yes, I see you are schooled in the ways of of the English diction as well my good sir, and thus I anticipate that you also comprehend that inter pass would also correlate to the welds occurring “between” the root and the weld reinforcement.
@@kitty9374 well my provincial government describes carpenters as minor welders though most ticketed carpenters i know have no idea what thats all about
You may want to check your code book. In D1.1 joint designation Bu2a You can have anywhere from 1/16”-9/16” when utilizing the tolerances of As Fit Up and As Detailed.

Just passed my 3g d1.1 & d1.5 recertification after 10years thanks to some of your tip. Great vids Thanks
Nice man, congratulations. Glad I was able to help you along your journey. 🤘🔥
That was so freaking cool! Haha. The celebration sound bite was the bomb 😂😂
Glad to see the slow shutter speed on camera so Sparks looks normal.... great stuff as always, Cheers, PB
Well Jason another excellent video but I’ve learned not to expect anything less but perfection from you 🙂
Thanks for watching, I am nowhere near perfect but I’m always making every weld better than my last.
@@jasonbecker3362 outstanding

@@jasonbecker3362 helped me i just passed my 3g 1.5 thanks 2 u. I failed 1st try then studied you and passed 2day. Thanks
Beautiful at all!
A master!
I have two questions:
Where is Bob?
And when he will return?
Only 35 passes ? well, that's just sweet right there. Awesome work and great editing and fast forwarding. I love it baby. Jim Tree
just found this Video now. Great, just great 👍👍👍 Greetings from Austria
Gotta love the simplicity of the stick welder.
“Go ahead and put it in the heart breaker” how I feel when I put my welds to the test😂😂
Yeah just failed one luckily got setting right and got rid of slag inclusions
Video idea Hardest possible weld test you can come up with
I think for me it’d be a thick wall open root pipe weld in the 5G position running stringers
6G RESTRICTED

Feeling the shield and the content.
Y'all just wanted to make this to show off that sweet test fixture rig!
Like $475 for them... I got one for my school... they are nice
@@godemperorhoover2131 Who makes those?
@@davesmith8936 I can look up my purchase order and get back to you... top shelf stuff tbh
@@davesmith8936 found them. Triangle Engineering. It is one part on their test stand
@@godemperorhoover2131 Thanks!
On D1.5, are you allowed to use something like a sharpened tungsten electrode or a carbide scribe, to pick out slag in tight corners, where the brush and/or chipping hammer can't get to it?
Yes, I prefer a solid set of pics. You cannot use anything that will remove or shape the weld profile.
Yea, my teacher showed us what he does and this is to simply use an old electrode and hammer one end flat and grind the other end into a pic, works amazing
We use a mini hacksaw, and cut the rounded end off into a point with tin snips. Perfection for digging out slag.
Test coupons were really pretty.
Nice Work
Thank you. I like to run overhead when I can.
Great video Jason, you have a link for your welding cap?
What Temp do y’all let your plate cool down to in between passes?
Am just curiuos?
Why do you hang your ground in the plate intead to ground it in the table
Nice video but that’ my question? Greetings from phoenix az✌️
I've always loved to take these tests. The easiest test to pass 😅.
Haha yeah if u run 50lbs a week. For us who only sometimes weld 3g & 4g tests are much more strick than we are usdd too. But Carpenters rarely weld critical stuff. Sheet pile , studs, etc so yeah took me awhile to get into my 3g/4g after tens years between tests

Woah nice video
Thank you for the support.
Did u increase amperage on the hot pass? Not sure what u meant by "hot pass".
Some people do, I choose not to.
You run Hot Pass after the Root Pass...
"Hot pass" is the name of the pass after the "root pass" doesn't mean to increase amperage
can you make a video on stickwelding thin exhaust pipe?
Any way you can discuss what d1.1 book study methods can be the best way to prepare and what mistakes can be avoided. Thank you in advance, also love these videos really does help to see real welding.

How long did this take?
Do the yellow glasses help you see through your helmet?
No, they do help with lighting in the shop, I look over the top of them while under my hood. I use the Lincoln 4C lens and like the blue tint it provides.
I have a problem with the cap every time I’m about to do the cap passes the ends get droopy and have high spots at the ends do you have any tips?

@@jasonbecker3362 thank you
Can you guys make a vid on how to modify
A gang box for a welders needs
Have you ever done it open route I have . And passed.
Why reverse polarity please explain isn’t that used for TIG ?
Reverse polarity is DC+, TIG uses Straight Polarity DC-. In a welding machine the amperage flows from negative to positive.
What helmet do you use?
Can you do the Arizona 6010 all down hill root fill and cap
6 in pipe

I like the radnor gloves

Excuse me, what is the current?

Video request underwater welding
I’ll save you some time: Downhill, jet rod dipped in lacquer, straight polarity, run it HOT (200a for 5/32 7014)
Where do I find a weld stand like that?
Triangle Engineering
can you do a 6010 root on plate
Where is that welding rod available in the US?
You can find all types of welding rods on amazon or u can visit some welding shops in your area as 7018 is a pretty common electrode make sure to keep the electrodes in an oven before use however as it is a low hydrogen rod.

Can u do 6010 overhead
Why not have a closer gap?

Can you do a video for spray mig overhead?
I think spray is only used flat and horizontal. Vertical can be done but it's not ideal.
@@TheTrooper115SFS that's what I originally thought until I started working at this job. Apparently it can be done overhead fillet
@@devonmoore3289 I would like to see those welds. I would think gravity would do a number on them. Is it dual shield?
@@TheTrooper115SFS it's actually not that bad once you get use to it. Just less room for error in travel speed and heat settings
Why reverse polarity
WE WANNA SEE BOB!
He still teaches students. But he’s not working for videos anymore. His Instagram is ram_nation58

3:12 how are you calling that a stringer? Youre moving side to side...I've always called that a weave.
I run two stringers for a my root with 1/8", side by side.
If I'm using 5/32" I run one pass.
I thought the same thing about that not being a stringer... hmm, I guess some strings aren't very straight lol.
@@nickryan4619
I think maybe he misspoke.
A stringer is not weaved.
Haha
He's not leaving the main puddle.

Hmm...
And we are not allowed run off tabs.
I was told don't whip just run stringers high heat by instructor... your style comes more natural

Inter pass doesn't mean fill passes. Inter, the prefix means between. So when you say inter pass, you are saying in between weld passes. Just an FYI
Ah yes, I see you are schooled in the ways of of the English diction as well my good sir, and thus I anticipate that you also comprehend that inter pass would also correlate to the welds occurring “between” the root and the weld reinforcement.
@@jasonbecker3362 then those would be intra pass welds. FYI

I heard you get paid more if you know how to weld in carpentry
@@kitty9374 well my provincial government describes carpenters as minor welders though most ticketed carpenters i know have no idea what thats all about

Damn! That’s a lot of sticks for such a short weld. How long did that actually take, in real time? You need a lot of patience.
Lets see esab emp 215 ic stick that same weld.
