I’m a structural engineer and I’m always specing welds and member sizes. I appreciate the work you welders do to get things build right.
I appreciate you engineers messing everything up for us so we can have jobs. 😭😭😭 JK brother. Just blue collar humor. I appreciate you dropping by to say this. Thank you 🫡🫡
Welder for 50 years and still love watching that blue light shine. good work boys!
Thank you Mr. John. I appreciate the support
Hood down light on cod! love it!! miss it!!!
Thanks for that. I wanted to know how long u can weld and what should u transition too like educator or inspector. Or let me know your advice robotics
This is the type of shit I like watching... I've been an independent welder for 5 years welding for 15 and still learn something from other ppl. Thanks
Thanks for watching budd
Me too..its fun to watch and learn
@@WeldersIncLlc thank you guys.
@@VantageWelding i never knew you could weld 8018 down hill? Also do you like 3/32 over 1/8?
8010 brother. Not 8018. Although they make 8045 to be able to weld downhill. If it’s structural I’d rather weld with 1/8. On pipe I don’t weld with 1/8 unless I’m rolling out or welding 8” and up. Extra heavy wall pipe like .75 wall and up Ive used 5/32 lo hy to fill up and 1/8 to cap.
Mechanical engineer here and an amateur welder on the weekends. Y'know MIG has made welding so easy these days but there is something so elegant about stick welding that I practice with any opportunity I get. The first time I layed a 7018 bead uphill that didn't look like pigeon crapped everywhere was so satisfying! I have always appreciated you guys turning stuff I drew on a computer into real life. Stay safe!
thanks for watching brother
I’ve been acquiring angle iron and square plate shims of different sizes from work lately. Its new a construction job site, so it’ll all end up in the trash anyway. It’s driven me from TIG to STICK. been playing around, building a welding cart and a book shelf. Not going to make money with it...but I love “making.” Love seeing different methods and angles of weld puddles. I’m still verrrry new to the SMAW puddle. So every weld you make helps me control my weld puddles. Thanks for posting. Thumbs up everyone!!
That’s really dope brother. Hit me up on the gram if you have any questions bro. I’m not the best but if I can help, you best believe I’m goin to try. Thanks for watching. And good luck on your journey. You got it. 100%
@@VantageWelding How do you guys get away with not wearing your hoods over hardhats?
There's a lot of money to be made with scrap iron. It's up to your imagination, what I do is build stuff and post it on craiglist and someone will buy it. It's good to sell your stuff since its easy to build up a horde of finished projects. Plus it's a good way to learn more. I had a bunch of scrap drill pipe and I turned em into fence braces and they sold super easy, 2hrs of welding for like 300$ all with leftovers.
@@blessedandtalented113 as long as you got the hood on you don't need a hardhat, never seen it any other way. Only time ya wear a hardhat is for tailgate meetings lol
@@johndowe7003 no way. Tell me more. I’m always open to new endeavors. What do people like to buy?
Jobs like this to be leveled and straight. you gotta check, double check, triple check everything. You guys did good
Thanks for watching
You made a bad ass jig for the torch to cut that radius👍👍, im sure you’ll find another time to use it, good 2 second improvement
Thank you sir
outstanding, thanks for showing us how it's done, cheers from Florida , Paul
Thanks for watching budd. Greetings from Texas
Nice weaving on those passes!
Nice uphill weld it's harder than it looks boys this dude's got Skittles
Thanks boss man
i'm from europe and i was actually confused when he welded downhill with stick. we never had permission to use those electrodes for structures and such.
Oooo what flavor?
@@matthewhuerta5831Pinto Bean flavored 🇲🇽 😂
@@VantageWelding eso si carnal. 🤣
really like the use of pipe for the table, and the f clamp for rotating the sq tube, now I have to go buy a 5th stand to use that trick, thanks guys....Paul in Orlando
Thank you sir
It's weird knowing you only have 4 stands, 6 stands is common/standard here in my area on the eagle ford patch
Nice job....Doble skill welding and seting
Old school welding love it.
I'm here to see skills, and you guys delivered. Much obliged.
Thanks for dropping by boss.
Good vid man really enjoyed it , welding looks good and you talked us through the job brilliant 👍🇬🇧
Thanks mate. I am watching legend as we speak so I’m writing back in my British accent.
Thanks for wtHcing buddy 😂
Love the structural, helps me learn
Thanks for watxhing
Learned something new bro! Keep up the badass footage 🤘🏽
Gracias carnal
great video dude and nice extension for the torch.
Thanks a lot brother. Means a lot coming from you man. Thanks 💯💯💯 keep killing it brother.
BRAKE ON ONE! I c ya cod!!!! boom us down with a lil left had swing on at load one time, HAWSE! Get up on it!
very nice job
Very good 👍
Thanks sir

Real world welding Not that glamorize welding that has been all over UA-cam.
Thanks brother. I appreciate the support.
Good job brother
I appreciate you friend.
8010 then a 7018. Good idea. Never thought about that👌👌👌
🦾
I live welding 8010 also ...nice video guys
My favorite rod for sure.
Sehr gut! 👍👍👍👍🎧😊🌎
Super!!!👍
I need to understand something. Why vert. down weld on 1st pass if the thickness is enough for vert. up?
Im only asking because i dont know much about stick welding. Thnx and keep up the good work guys.
Just to capture some arc shots of the 8010 going down it’s all budd. For recording purposes.
In school for welding right now can’t wait
Enjoy the journey and never stop learning brother.
Good job ...
..
Thank you so much 😀
Woah you cut a circle. Omg congratulations.
Everybody give this guy a thumbs up. Go check out his channel and subscribe. He deserves it. Hope you’re doing well bro. All positive vibes over here. ✌️
Fire work. I'd hire you any day

i don’t know if you knew bro you can run 7018 downhill when you have gaps like that 🙌🏻🔥😎 great video boss
I didn't have no gaps bro, but yeah you can weld it down hill hence the number one in 7018. But id never use it going down. Them food on tik tok were roasting my ass lmfao. saludos carnal. Thanks for watching g. Pull up lets make a restrictive test how to.
@@VantageWelding let me know bro im down for your channel 🤙🏼
One of the first videos of real world guys doing great field work in real situations great work !
Thanks ! Where you guys at ?
Thank you Charlie.
Muy duro hermano 💪💪💪💯
Gracias buddy.
Just subbed. Wanna be a great stick welder. Thanks for the video and tips bro
Thanks for watching and a great welder you will be. Salute.
For skids like that do you have to follow a certain code as well?
For certain standards yes. In this instance, no bro. It’s just junk iron to be honest.
Keep it coming playa
Thanks brother
Nice music during the weld
Thank you
Good job but why did you did the 7018 from down to up?? Es easier to do it from top to bottom no??
Never downhill 7018 budd. If you want to downhill and doesn’t require too much strength use any high cellulose rod such as 6010 downhill.
I need some knee pads like yours, where can I buy some? thanks guys, wonderful video...love your circle cutter....Paul
They sell them at champion welding supply and a lot of welding supplies around the way brother
Splav makes some really good kneepads, kneepads are the most underrated piece of gear anyone can have.
Joint Hollow to Hollow,
How was your PQR preparation ?
Is it 6GR Welding position category ?
Please advise
Thanks
D1.1 bro. Simple structural work. Stick it together and make sure it holds. Salute
AWESOME
sixteee fyve on dee fuuhhqin money.. badass you know your on when you say it like that.
Feels good when something comes out as envisioned brother. Thanks viewing. 🔥🔥 you guys are the true MVPS
I use your vids for instructional purposes after I had a student reference your video.
This is crazy. Do you have social media brother. This is great news. Thank you for that brother.
Not that it ever really mattered to me and especially now that ive been on 2 year walk about and getting away chasing them 7/12 outrages round here where im from ALL THE TIME as a union jiw…. but I gotta ask bro… are yall? No prejudice if youre not outta me bro….. I got respect for every man or woman out there grinding (no pun) and getting that sustenance to feed, shelter and even reward yaself cuz the craft and skill set you fellas got going on will make em stitches on at stretched to the max leather wallet start screaming and holding on for dear life, that ol cup can runneth over with them hunz on the ground EVEERYWHERE!! you just got go n get em….. just bought myself a buzz box and I got them national 1” 4g’s for both sticks and wire, just gotta keep an accurate and documented continuity book with company sups and dates which is every 6 months… so since I been out the game a hot min ima have to bust out a quick 3/8’s for both of em again, which is a drop in the bucket slapping metal to that gaping 1” plate and that massive bevel void… specially if they birdawgin em passes to see if you are staying true to just stringers which can take a while especially if you trynna get em in all in one day… expect 8 hours or more FOR SURE! love the content dawg! gotchya a new sub biggen! Keep socking it to that ass bro and get all the scratch you can get!!!! Great work and outstanding… no scratch that… NOTEWORTHY craftsmanship and attention to detail… I LUUUUUV IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So 80,000 lbs of tnsile strength put everywhere soundly can make it so that you can hold some weight. How much is this skid rated for now that you can load it up?
Per square inch in our welds. I’d have to check the spec of the square tubing, but I pretty much copied a skid that was already built for the pump. The pump weighs approximately 20,000lbs. It’s a half a million dollar pump so I’m sure they engineered the structure to spec. 😂
@@VantageWelding I sure hope so, my god man. Haha. Thanks for the response. Look I’m a beginner welder with barely 30 days of welding under his belt in school but my instructor really let me know that I can actually lay decent bed for my ability level. It’s sink or swim for me and I think that’s really showing through in my effort because next year I need to be working or it’s more debt and bullshit fucking jobs or just being homeless with nothing so if you guys could do a Video on how to terminate a weld because nobody else can do a good video on it I’d be thankful for a lifetime. Because I’m watching how are you guys terminate your welds and trying to get an idea of the motion in the ocean if you know what I mean.
What do you mean terminate a weld brother?
@@VantageWelding Oh sorry about that what I meant was how to end a weld properly so that the end of the bead doesn’t look nasty like bubblegum or dripping freaking cheese. A nice clean end to the weld with the proper build up so it’s nice and professional in execution. I know time has to fix a lot of these things and just burning rods but If you don’t ask questions in this life you don’t get answers. Thanks again and I appreciate all that you guys do.
@@larrymasterspowerbuildingc4477 stay posted bro. More content in the way bro.
How do I get into this field of work? New to welding but eager and excited to learn.
Network bro. Hit up one of the welding trade schools to learn the trade. A reputable one. Most of the times they guide you straight into the field.
What codes do you follow for structural welding?
D1.1 I guess. It’s all junk iron. Nothing is getting UT nor any other kind of NDT. Just building a skid for a 20,000 lbs pump so it can be transported and installed.
Love watching him burn that iron. Just a 1 second touch side to side, tie that in and clean clean clean, baby.
Buena master👍🏻
65 in the "#$% money, you can tell when someone loves his job.
Thank you boss. Really trying to stop the curse words 😂. Thanks for watching.
How can i get into this. This looks fun im currently in a tig shop doing production welding sheetmetal i want to experience structural
Get yourself a big boy machine (smaw) and get out of the shop lol dockyard and oilfield work is the best imo
Look for fabrication and welding shops around your area. See if they have any available positions open. S
Is this the same as iron working or you can be a iron worker aswell if you know how to weld?
I’m sure you could. I believe if you can fab and weld you can be anything you want
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the love Pepis
💯💯💯
pregunta, e soldado metal hasta 3/16 con mig, me salio un jale con postes de 6x6 de 1/4, se que deberia usar stick welding pero que recomiendas? que amp y que rod? seria soldadura horizontal toda. muchas gracias en avanze 🤝
Puedes usar lo que tú quieras bro. Si tienes acceso a ambos tipos de máquinas, es depende de cómo cobras. Si es por el trabajo, te conviene terminar rápido con mig. Si estás cobrando por hora pues recomiendo con barilla.
@@VantageWelding entonses crees que 0.35 flux core sea bueno para 1/4?
@lafinest47 si carnal. Más que Perfecto. Especialmente si no va a llevar presión.
Hi, may I know why you weld it downward in root pass?
For the video purposes. Capture as many arc shots as I can going down and uphill.
Nice welds bro love them but for 7018 3/32 isn’t 88 amps a little too cold ?
It’s just a number. He’s using a machine that I reckon hasn’t been calibrated in a while. It’s about 10 amps hotter than my machine hence the lower amperage than usual on 3/32 and 1/8 rod. Every machine is different so you will have to adjust. Thanks for watching
@@VantageWelding ohhhh okay yess that makes sense , cool vids man 😎
@@crazywolfcrazy_4412 thank you for the support family.
How many passes did you apply to that joint?
To be honest with you we just put a root and hot. Depends on what you want. You can put a root and free hand the hot and fill it all the way. Then cap. But I’d walk it. Put a hot,filler, then a cap.
Tip No.1 for ALL welders: Clean your weld BEFORE you start welding. Makes it all so, so much easier and raises the quality standard significantly.
Cheers.
Excellent tip.
Good beads
Thank you Jesus.
nice footing looking to get into sutural then pipe when i graduate form welding school
You got it. Sky is the limit you hen

@@VantageWelding thank you sir! Actually all finished now and job a nice job offer as a millwright!
@@Mastersargent1000 hood deal brother. That’s awesome to hear. The dying trade will do you better than actually welding budd
Check square with a tape
work is good thats all
Thanks budd
A down wild? Will that even make a good tac?
Yes
Good but turn up your heat 5 amps when welding your 2nd pass on the vertical
Thank you. There’s always room for improvement. Thank you for watching and the feedback
I was told uphill was 10% lower amps than flat 40 years ago in welding degree program?
@@brianpatrick8441 that sounds very logical brother.
How Do You record the weld?
I use my Iphone
what name the stand you use to make it level?
They are ridgid jack stands. I don’t recommend them. If you can buy BnBs get you some.
thanks for info
@@muhdharith2790 you’re welcome. That’s what we are here for. To help each other. Thanks for dropping by brother.
Мне кажется, порядок сварки вертикала чуть нарушен. Сначала бы пройти корень снизу вверх, а потом уже, после заполнения, можно облицовочным сверху вниз разгладить неровности с током чуть повыше. Держать то оно и так будет, но на этой толщине корень не проварен точно.
Esta bien cabron buddy.
Smart
Thanks boss
I have some welding videoa in my channel brother
Why filler material isn't used?
We call them welding rods.
😱😱🔥🔥💯💯💯💪💪😱😱
Thanks you sir
👍
Bro how you make that tool?!
It’s just a piece of 1/2 inch pipe on the inside it’s got a sliding bolt that’s got a point, that way I can rest it inside my center punch and at the end of the pipe I have another nut welded to it. That’s where the tip of the torch rests. I also added a roller from my plasma hole cutter set up for better stability. Sometimes you have to improvise. 😂
👍👍 mantap
As a welder u dont do vertical welds top to bottom... also u don't weave . U have to drag the rod and do multiple passes... this is not structural welding. Some back yard welding. .. and what's up with the host chain lol. Just tack in place and square up..
Thanks for watching. 😉
Das a fire tool. Sell dat joint
Could you have mig welded this if you had the machine?
Flux cored yes. Mig, probably not.
But no. I wouldn’t have. Non need for that here bro. I let that process go about 9 years ago brother. Unless I’m a business owner, I will refrain from using squirt guns.
Yes you can using 71M or NR 211
71M UNLIMITED THICKNESS
NR211 UP TO 1/2" STEEL
DONE IT FOR OVER35 YEARS
Thought vertical welding was from bottom up.
There’s vertical down and vertical up. Look up the meaning of the numbers in the rods and you will find out. There’s horizontal left to right and horizontal right to left. Up and down side to side. You can virtually do anything that is accepted within a project. Always check your WPS and follow the inspectors or QC’s guidelines. Thanks for dropping by
Solda top
Gracias iramo
Where I can buy the horses .?
The jack stands? Any welding supply brother
Yes
@@VantageWelding thank you
Stop using fast freeze rods on structural for roots that's a sure fire way for hydrogen cracking I've seen it time again that's the problem sometimes with pipeliners they weld pipe primarily structural is alot different especially 8010 that shits brittle as hell
They aren’t going anywhere cold boss. Their staying here in south east Texas. Thanks for your concern. It’s a damn stand for gods sakes. They are not pad eyes. It’s not a drilling structure. It’s just an oversized stand. Thanks Mr CWI once again for your concern.
@@VantageWelding lol! No shit, that stand will probably get moved once or twice in it's lifetime , probably with a forklift so there's no way that thing will break any welds. Have you ever tried using 7024 for higher production speeds
@@johndowe7003 yes bro. Jet rod with an old sa200. The cables would be smoking
I raather use 6010 root and hot and everything else 7018
You are absolutley correct 7018 if your stick welding from root to cap and i would never run down hill not allowed in structural steel as code D1.1 specifys
35 years as LA city cert. Welder in structural manual and semi-automatic 232 wire

Thanks homie
Who knows any structural welding companies in Houston ???
Drill Mec, DSI, Ennerflex, turbo fab. Not really sure if this companies exist still bro but you can start there. Hope it helps

Well I only know what the guys on the rigs told me I was only a helper welding down for sheet metal welding up for anything heavier welding down no beads like a cobwebs but as I say I am no expert
You’re good brother. That’s the only way to learn. To ask. No question is dumb in my opinion. But yeah the welding works is big. There’s plenty of more work other than rig work. You got plant work. Pipeline work. Offshore work, aerospace work. Bridge work. Just to name a few. They all have their own specs and codes. Never weld downhill or use high cellulose rods on d1.1 and similar structural codes. This is an informational video more about arc shots and how to run the rods up and down. Two different rods. Two different applications. Hope this helps.
No no just trim it as you install in between pieces
Ok
Weld no good...from indonesia
Thanks for the feedback. Hope your life is doing good. From Texas.
Downhand structural is a sure way to get run off a job here.
Good thing I’m not there, right?
@@VantageWelding only downhand ive ever seen that was code was buried pipe.
@@aaronhobbs8716 you need my QCs number to file a complaint?
@@VantageWelding no. Just keep making videos
@@aaronhobbs8716 I’ve answered this so much bro it’s just irritating. This an informational video on arc shots. This is a stand for a pump. Nothing major. If I was building a sub structure for an oil rigs I’d use all 70180 or fluxcore. No pressure or stress will be introduced to the stand. Thanks for watching
Here you had me all impressed with your fabrication skills and then you ran 7018 rod. A good welds are like a woman…..looking good on the outside but you can’t see the horrors within. You could have got by with that if you used 6010.
Thanks for dropping by. Hope your life is doing good budd. Enjoy.
better 7018

Why u going down tho?
I’ve answered this question 100 times.
@@VantageWelding just found ur reason on previous comment sorry I did look before commenting lol was just like uhh structural welding vert down sounds good haha😆
@@joshdereus yes sir. Wasn’t trying to be rude. But you have no idea how much negativity that aspect of welding gets. If it were a bridge, oil rig, or any structure that required that much strength and integrity you would never use any high cellulose rods. Lo-Hy or jet rods only
For sure I’m a engineer myself
@@joshdereus nice brother.
Down hill ???????
Maybe who’s asking?
AWS abs structural weld can't not down hill on structural
That what I was taught
And they ban weaving all stringer??
@@jeremiahjoseph2982 tell AWS to come see me then. Cheers.
Structural welding is just that, on a structure like a building. Not a frame or whatever that is. If you were to use any 60 whatever rod you'd be chased off the job. Maybe change the title of the video.
If you were on my job you’d be run off for being a lil baby back biiiiooootch
Formen bird dogging
Rarely.
What the fuck is up with welding downhill then covering it up with uphill. The first one won't have the penetration. Run a quick stringer up then cover it with a weave
He’ll yeah budd thanks for watching.
Hate down hand
I respect that.
Structural welding my ass, uses 6010 downhill, and does 7018 weave, not allowed on actual structural welding, only uphill 7018 stringers are allowed
He’ll yeah budd. Thanks for watching
russian clever people have not seen this material yet) They will see, they will write right away, you cannot cook from top to bottom, this is not according to GOST)))
It’s all good cuz this is America. We defy gravity and rules are meant to be broken. We are outlaws. Thanks for watching.
@@VantageWelding Hooligans. Where are the police looking?! I absolutely agree. I myself am a bully and I break the laws)
Just kidding brother. This is a mere stand. No integrity, just a stand. If I were working building off shore rigs, bridges, or any other form of structural system we would never weld downhill. This stand will be in a warehouse stored in temperature control environment. There will be no stress and the downhill actions shots were for entertainment and educational purposes. Thanks for viewing. Salute from Texas to mother Russia.
