In this episode of R&D Corner with Mark, he not only shows you how to MIG weld, but also how to use those skills to repair a door - and those are skills you can use to fix a fender, quarter panel or floor pan - and when you repair the panel yourself instead of buy a replacement panel or paying someone to fix it - the welder PAYS FOR ITSELF in the first job.
Eastwood's own MIG 135 Welder: as good as the "name brands", but at a fraction of the price!
As a home hobbyist or light fabricator, you don't need to spend more for a "brand name" industrial MIG welder. Our R&D guys developed the Eastwood MIG 135 Welder from scratch to produce excellent bead quality and capabilities that match-and even exceed-the more expensive competition!
Welds mild and stainless steel, 24-ga. to 1/4"
25-135-amp welding range
Powered by standard 120v household current
Compare to similar welders that sell for over $500
Backed by Eastwood's no-hassle return policy and 3-year warranty
Learnt more on here in 10 minutes than tons of welding channel videos on youtube.
Who is the operator? He,s the best ever johnchisholm40
It’s a good video but the best way to learn welding is doing it, you have to learn your own technique to a certain extent when welding and do what you feel comfortable with.
people really don't know the past tense of learn
@@anthonyvalenza2673 Learnt and learned and both acceptable as past tense. You should have capitalised your sentence and used a full stop.
I know this is an old video but I would have to rate it as one of the best on how to MIG weld. Simple, concise and to the point. I’ve learnt so much. Thanks heaps!
Agree David - I've added to my saved list.
He's dead right about the savings. Since I started doing my own vehicle servicing and repairs a few years ago I've saved nearly 2k GBP. It paid for an Oxford welder and a heap of tools.
My local Ford dealer, who sold me my vehicles, has stopped speaking to me though. I've also learned to avoid them for MoT tests as they will now do anything to fail them in their hunt for things to repair.
P.S. I use the Eastwood sprays quite a lot. Rust Encapsulator and Extreme Chassis Black are great, although I've tended to replace the former with Jenolite now as it's a lot cheaper and seems to work ok. The High Temperature Coating (silver) is worth a look as well. Since I started coating all my caliper carriers with it the corrosion I have to deal with has diminished significantly. Every time I change the discs (rotors) I clean up and re-coat the calipers and carriers with High Temp Coating. Huge difference in lifespan and well worth the cost of the spray. Plus they look great through the spokes of the alloys.
Man you put a legit welding college course in a 10 min video that we can understand. Thank you 🙏🏾
I used to do autobody repair back in the 70s and most shops only had acetylene and oxygen welding equipment. It got the job done but it took a bit of skill to avoid warping of the area during welding. Also, the flux from the brazing rod had to be removed perfectly or else it would cause problems with the body filler. I had a spot welder at my shop which was really helpful. I wish that I would have had a MIG welder at the time. I lived in the rust belt and this welder would have saved me a lot of time and effort. Thank you for the video.
Been welding 26 years...you know all tricks. People definitely will learn from this video.👍👍
I have learned more watching your videos than I did in autobody 1 and auto custim painting in high school. So I am going to get brave and restore my 91 Bronco.
Years of painting taxi cabs my buddies think I can't do real bodywork. So with your videos we will prove them wrong.
Hands down the best mig weld video yet
I never put one of those welding devices in my hands but today I got encouraged, best instructional tutorial in the net, thanks, much obliged to you sir
Man ive seen 10 vids and finally quick and simple too the point. Now lets go cut some rust!
Great video. Learned more from this video and this guy than anything on YT.
These videos are so good. Just got a MIG welder to start fixing my old car that I'm never getting rid of. No excess in these videos, just pure information in a clear manner that assumes nothing of the viewer other than a desire to learn proper welding techinique.
Message d'un français qui ne parle pas très bien anglais..... mais qui a apprécié toutes les explications ! Merci pour ce tuto 😉
Now, I do realize that Eastwood's main focus is to sell their products and GREAT PRODUCTS they do have! but what really surprises me is how they are willing to share trade secrets and unselfishly put themselves out there. Esstwood has given me the confidence to tackle my own projects. Keep it up Eastwood. You guys are the s**t👍
I bought my Eaastwoodd Mig135 just about 3 years now and absolutely love it. Awesome welder
Gdje ako se smije znati :D
Probably the best video i ever watched on how to properly repair sheet metal thank-you very much
As a part time and old school car repairer, I had increasing need to use the MIG welder. But I did find getting the right advice on welding technique hard to find. Also, without regular practice I find can make unnecessary mistakes when painting or welding. This is a really useful video, I use it , like many from Eastwood, as a quick refresher course before I dive into another major job.
Hi Mark man i watch all your clips over over boy you got me where i am today , i intrested how to make a normal fender for car not a hot rod special thanks to you and the crew .My Moto chop ,cut, restore excelent work its not all about buying Eastwood products yes all well and good.But the program is to teach others to move forward in life and to appreciate guys like you all that teaches these programes.Thank you all.
Mark has another great video coming out soon on how to make a door skin from scratch. Plus a video on the steps of painting a car. Make sure you subscribe so you don't mis those videos.
This video made it easy to understand. I am pushing to buy the 135 mig from Eastwood this summer to start learning instead of buying the cheap harbor freight ones. Thanks for these amazing videos.
***** Don't forget Eastwood offers a 3 Year Warranty AND a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee!
@@eastwoodco can i weld thicker metal with that welder? cause i need a welder. Am working on a project and i need to do strong welds on C channel
he explains eavrything so good makes the job easy
Thank you for your instructions on the 3 method of welding . Very clear and easy to follow. Great Job.
About to tackle our first bit of rust cut out on a car and plate welding. Learnt one heck of a lot on this video. Thanks mate.
You guys put out the best auto body repair videos on YT. Makes me wanna buy your products exclusively.
Mark your a bad to the bone!!!! I enjoy watching your informative video. Your the reason why I will try Eastwood products!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Best welding video I ever seen
Based on this video, I've decided to purchase the mig135. Thanks Eastwood
Wow best instructional video on UA-cam.
Thank you for making this video...I can see where I have gone wrong and put too much heat in the panel. Great tip to make a brace and spot welding them. Best welding video I have seen and learned a lot!
Awesome video, best Mig tutorial on UA-cam....
Thanks. Love hearing from Eastwood Guys!
Love Eastwood. Will be doing this soon and get me a welder!
I like how they are reasonable on there prices when comes to tools I don't want junk but I also don't want screwed on the price
Thanks a lot I learn something new if I've needed to make a hole without a drill raise up voltage to hold with clecos I also learned the proper way about connecting to piece of sheet metal reinforcing the back around the edges kind of like installing gypsum board thanks thank you for explaining well.
I'm just starting out, having fun learning all the stuff not to do. Really like the style of presentation. Flux core
This guy is awesome. Great teacher
Thanks for the education. Appreciate it very much.
Made my day ! Best video on this subject out there .
Great beginners tutorial. If I may expand on it; Disconnect your battery when performing welds ON the vehicle. Also, if I missed it?, Proper wire selection, to match the gauge of welding material. Again, great video and that unit makes sweet welds! 😃
Best to the point welding video so far
As im about to begin welding a inner fender to the outside fender. I just happen to come across this. Thanks for the info. I've never welded before so this shall be fun lol
Very good teacher. I agree with V T, simple and great explanation.
Only decision left is what model mig welder.
been using my eastwood 135 mig a lot. one recommendation would be to put the chart on the outside of the door (though it may get scratched up). great video and product.
Take a cell picture and print 2"clear tape to outside.
Great video! Helped me with welding knowledge so I'm rewarding you for your great video and buying the Eastwood Mig 135 from Eastwood. Thanks Mark!
Love your videos,and your product sir,
I will buy one of your mig welders in the near future.
I've got one of those 135 migs, great welding machine.
Very good instruction !
make it look easy. and explained enough to learn the rest by doing thanks I'm going to give welding a try
Thank you, learnt a bunch and more optimistic that I did MIG welding
WOW!!!!! This dude is awesome! Thank you Sir! And Eastwood!
Learnt heaps, great host
welp you've just made me an Eastwood guy. cool video keep em coming
Awesome!
best video on UA-cam
thanks Mark! Great Voice, Great easy explanations
Excellent guidance
Excellent Video!!
Badass video. I'm sold.
That's awesome didn't know it was that simple
So much info thanks for the pointers
Great vid. Very helpful for a future welder. Covered alot of my questions, and some keys mistakes i would have made. Nice bead work btw. Circle motion best advice ever.
Incroyable, merveilleux, simple. Merci beaucoup. Très bonne vidéo.
Very helpful Thank you for the instruction.
Glad it was helpful!
these kind of welding machine i needed. i wish i have this one in the future. i'm still using the old model welding with welding rod and gas welding and every time i weld the metal sheet it begins to sink.
bara moso is
good tip to plug weld the strip/backing for the butt weld. probably helps cool it a bit faster with more metal and prevent burn through.
Hodge-Podge Garage if you were welding a patch in an area with a large amount of rust wouldn’t the overlap of the strip be bad if you didn’t weld it again or seal it from the other side ??
Save time and money by just using neodymium magnets to hold them in place. No need for the strips at all
I read 2 text books and in 10 minutes I can tell the difference between stitch, but and plug weld thanks.
Great video, learnt a ton!
Nice would love to do this
Well explained thank you
muy buen video que lastima que no este en español felicitaciones
Some people are going to complain about a chance for rust to develop from moisture being trapped by those flange pieces placed behind the repair panel in the example. The thing to remember is just how long do we want the repair to last. The rest of your lifetime, or for as long as you expect to keep the car? I personally don't care if the repair is going to last for 20 years, I'm 66 years old. Make it easy on yourself.
Thanks....great video !
U are good man. Thanks.
I love the trick for filling in the gaps that were cut wrong! that just might save me on my quarter panel replacement that I'm doing!
Can you complete this process with flux core or does it have to be mig? What are the differences in the outcome, if any? Thanks awesome vid too!
It's possible with flux core, but more difficult and more to clean up / grind. Using gas will definitely be much easier and provide significantly better results.
Fantastic video! Thanks 👍
Gracias crack saludos desde Bs As Argentina
awesome video, I am just attempting partial quarter panel replacement, after the weld is ground down do you have to go back and fill small holes that I missed? or will the body filler be ok to fill them
Good info, but it looks like the bottom body line on your door is off about 3/8" from the factory line.
Great tips thank you
Love these videos! Man, I wish you guys would set up a shop like this down here in Terre Haute, IN. Even if it's just to teach things like this, it would be awesome to have access to.
I have a Hobart 190 that I use for little things around the house or in my garage. To be honest, it's entirely too much of a welder for someone like me who has no experience welding but I thought that having too much power would be better than needing more power and not having it, so I went ahead bought it instead of their 140 model or anything else. I recently used it to weld up some cracks in my push mower's deck. I've never used gas--haven't even tried as I'm always afraid of anything that's compressed! (Me and things that can explode never make good bedfellows... I'm a wuss, I know...) But what I've found doing FCAWS is that preparation is everything, and as long as you use their anti-spatter spray, you can have some really great welds. If you don't use the spray, you'll have bad spatter but the welds will still be strong.
My process up to this point has been to follow the sheet inside the door as closely as possible but then after sanding everything up, wiping the prepared surface afterwards with alcohol or whatever cleaner I have. Then if everything looks good, I spray on the anti-spatter spray (just a few spritzes) then try to consistently drag-weld using a 45-degree angle. The mower deck has been the thickest steel I've welded so far. I think it was around 1/8th inch thick, but even then, I didn't do any dimes or circles because even with that thickness, this welder wanted to burn through it and I think it was my technique rather than the settings as once I sped up my drag, things improved. I have a lot to learn (obviously) but I had some great welds with it once I got some things figured out. I really love this welder.
Thanks for the video! Some great info in it, especially the part about the reinforcing of the butt areas using those strips and tacks.
Thanks for this very nice and informative video ! much appreciated !
Great video, thanks !
what different sizes of mig wire do you use for the different sheet metal gauges. .022, .020, .018, 016 et?
Instead of the one inch strip why not use an air hammer seamer and have less overlapping and area to rust jack
Making it look easy!
Great company...thanks
What kind of weld would be best for putting replacement wheel panels on a truck? I’ve seen some people tack weld(?) I believe.
If you're butt welding sheet metal, you would weld like he's doing the patch panel in this video.
Great Video, thanks for the tips!
Good video , i learned a lot. Thanks.
I have never welded a day in my life. Lol. But I’m getting ready to restore my grandmothers 57 Chevy truck. Can you explain the difference between using gas vs I guess its flux core? And what kind of gas is needed. Thanks
You will use the Argon-Co2 mix and gas will provide better results than flux core, especially in auto restoration.
man, I don't even like welding, but strangely this video makes me want to go out and buy this welder.
It's never too late to become a Real Eastwood Guy!
very well done. thank you
Were you using Globular transfer for the thicker steel? I noticed there was a lot of spatter.
nice video. can I turn my mig welder into a dent puller
How about when what you are working on isn't on the chart inside the cover? I'm trying to do automotive sheet metal with flux core .30 wire. There are no settings listed for that.
very informative....good job
Great video 👍👍🤟
Awesome videos! Just subscribed! Love the Eastwood logo. I need an Eastwood sweatshirt.
I own Chevys and live in Ohio, so I'm looking to get into this :0
What is the difference between MIG 135 and 220 please?
Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to get more great How To videos. Eastwood has everything you need to do the job right when you're restoring a car, truck or motorcycle. Since 1978.
I never welded now I feel confident
That hardly qualifies as welding
Always practise make your Expert😁😁😁
