I did get an Amazon machine to start. I didn't want to spend a lot to learn this.
I cant believe i just noticed that Easter egg, the Primeweld logo says Subscribe!!!!!! That's awesome
Anything under 18 gauge use .9 wire and for purging 1.6 tube but listen to food factory welders over anyone that welds anything else
THANK YOU. I UNDERSTAND SOME BASICS NOW QUITE SOLIDLY. And none of this information ---NONE OF IT--was taught to me in welding school.
This is one of the best videos you have ever made. Simple and direct. Honest.
Good educator
Thanks
Agreed, I particularly like the restrained exasperation at common fallacies.
Great class as always
I am no welder and I do not weld often at all. But the manor with the care you took to create this video, FANTASTIC. Thank you for all of the easy to listen to information, and normal human interperations. This sort of info helps when I hire fabricators to be sure that the work they do is appropriate before the work is completed and I notice a problem after the fact. Keep up the great work.
I'm a visual learner, with memory issues & despite there being a ton of information in this vid I was totally locked in.
I LOVE that you give the reasoning on what you do, that is a huge plus for me as when I go to apply your teachings, I can work it out if I forget.
New subscriber with All notifications selected. 👍
I apriciate how you straight up treated the viewers as beginners in this. No sugar coating anything, no massive info drops, and just great information. Thank you very much.
I have been welding over 30 years and these are the best videos I have ever seen, It is never to late to learn new tricks, You explain things in a simple way that beginners can understand. Keep up the good work.
As a 25 year welder and The "GO TO" guy at work to weld anything, you are spot on. I had to learn all that you said through experience 20 years ago. I use helium at times (only ever on poured aluminum castings) and the sole purpose is as you said being skilled and it is used for that and that alone. Helium mix burns out poured aluminum castings impurities a lot better than 100% argon. Keep up your teachings as it only betters people to learn the proper way.
What is the helium mixture and percentages
Helium with argon ?
I like watching your videos but they're just buried in b******* commercials. Kind of hard to focus in on something when every few minutes Target wants to sell you some gadget for kids you don't have
You’re an amazing teacher and communicator. And it’s evident how much hard work has gone into these videos. This is a really impressive channel.
I could not have said it better David
Justin!
I'm NOT a welder, not in "the business" at all...just a 49 year old hobbiest trying to learn a brand new skill that is exponentially a thousand times harder than I ever thought it could be!!!
First I need to say MUCH respect to you for your incredible skill at not only actually welding, but for your incredible skill as a TEACHER!!!!
I have learned more from your videos and simple, no bullsh*t method of "telling it like it is" (this video being case and point!!), than I ever thought I could, aside from enrolling in a welding school.
I'm turning 50 in January 2020, and the only gift I've asked my wife and kids for, is for them to send me to Vegas for a few days to be taught, hands on in person by you.... here's hoping they listen to the request.
Keep making the awesome videos, dude!
Hope to see you in January!
Regards,
Mike.
Good Luck , and I am sure others like myself would like a little update video or post afterwards.
Did you go?
@@bribbripnairbnab7301 sadly I did not, and have not yet taken my 50th birthday trip! Perhaps when the current Covid craziness subsides, I'll finally get the chance to go!
@@mgc1970 Hope you get to do so. Bucket list, don't let it get too full. :-)
Never welded before. Just bought the new Miller ac/dc. Fascinated with tig welding. Trying something new at 68. Love your video. Watched a lot of other channels you by far are the best in explaining the process.
Dean tig is easy esp if you have HF, the scratch start could be a bitch but learned in 30 minutes of practice. If you are comfortable you will make a better-looking weld, get a chair with wheels, you also need to rest your welding hand on some sort of guide, roller, sliding wood or steel to avoid the shaking weld or minimize it. Last thing a foot pedal is a must. You got this go for it have fun.
But NEVER use high freq if you have a pacemaker or other surgical electrical insert.
@@yewwtooob Never heard of that, so then scratch start would be ok.
@@carmo9693 yes, but high frequency start is bad for implants. Some welders get away with it, then it's lights out. Like welding in the rain. Not a good idea
Awesome, very informative!
In my opinion, this is the best tig welding channel on UA-cam. I've learned so much & this channel has helped me so much! Thank you 👍
It seems obvious that you’ve done well working under the helmet and earning a decent living; it’s also obvious you’ve learned a ton along the way. I hope you are successful at replacing your income (and more) with a shift towards teaching as you have a real talent for it and have a lot to offer. Your audience will certainly benefit and you’ll likely never know the full “positive impact” you’ve had on an entire community. Keep up the good work Justin. Thank you.
Fantastically good presentation. I never once stopped the video and say “duh, what’d he just say?” Thorough, complete and clear.
The best explanation I've heard on how to weld. I wish you made this video 10 years ago when i was learning how to tig. Would have learned so much faster than i did. Kids have it so easy these days. Lol
I have zero experience on a TIG, hobby level only on arc and MIG welding. My welds might stay together, but I would never be so brazen as to challenge someone experienced with these machines. Niave I am not, and practice is the only way to become comfortable with the process. Good safety is always a must. That arc is as bright as the sun, and it WILL burn unprotected skin. Good videos, much appreciated.
I'D LOVE TO SEE YOU DO A SIMILAR SERIES, ON "EVERYTHING ABOUT BRAZING"!!!!!!!
Damn I’m a instant fan, talk about breaking it down and keeping it simple. Thanks for the videos!
Man! These videos just keep getting better and better. The information is nicely broken down with wonderful supporting graphics and just the right amount of humor to keep it light and interesting. Good work!
One of the things I like most about your videos is your flat out honesty. No matter how many videos we watch, we're still just learning.
I could listen to Justin all day long.
Well done! Thanks. Good production quality, good audio and good editing. (Something rare on UA-cam).
David Sisson
, AGREE 1000% ON THAT, THANKS!!!
Well Justin that was the most straight forward, uncomplicated TIG lesson I’ve seen. Great work!
Telling everyone right now, customer service for weld metals online is beyond great. The best by FAR
My old work boy told me to run on positive and once I watched this and made all the adjustments it came out amazing!!!
Thank you brother
The simplest TIG setup in youtube. Well explained thanks for keeping it simple!
THIS is the instruction guys like me have been hoping for - Thank you, Jason! Seriously, my friend, this is a Godsend!
So very VERY clear and easy to UNDERSTAND, thus reducing mistakes to a minimum.
Wow,You are one hell of a teacher!!! Hands down the best Ive seen on the Internet,learning so much from you!!
I have been trying to start tig welding. I have watched dozens of videos, you have given me the best info than all others combined. Thank you
Thank you for these first class tutorials. These are exactly what I was looking for - no nonsense, practical advice for the beginner, that cut out the mystery and home in on the critical elements. Can't wait to get back to the shop tomorrow and start practicing. I'm working through all your fundamentals videos. Great stuff.
I literally just started Tig welding this week and your video cleared up so much confusion there is about all the variables in tig welding. Thank you! This is a great beginner video.
New guy here. I just bought a tig welder. Your videos are very helpful.
I have been a welder and Instructor for most of my life. Just want to say very well done. You have a good program that will help many welders.
The guy has radio voice
Man, this is invaluable information. These tips would be so hard to come by without going to a school or knowing someone who is a master welder. Thank you justin for all the information. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
Incredibly USEFUL and deeply appreciative for this initial how to for TIG. Got me a lot more comfortable after watching this!
Holy crap I just read 7 reviews before making mine and everyone has stole my sentiments!!!
FANTASTIC buddy!!! Thank you VERY MUCH!!
Thank you man for bringing my ego back into check, Seriously! I'm a heavy steel stick and wire feed welder for 44 years. I'm just getting back into TIG welding for light gauge fabricating at work in the process of retirement and making a go of my own Custom Industrial Furniture Business. And of course I will be building my hot rods an bike that I never got to build working and raising a family.
But, I thought exactly what what you were saying all the super bitchin' stuff was going to fix all the stuff I forgot how to do... it didn't, only practice is going to fix it. And maybe watching a lot of your videos.
Thank you for your service Justin, and thank you for creating these great learning videos.
I can MIG but am very new to TIG. One of my biggest questions is gas flow. Most tutorials tend to gloss over this. The formula of 2X the cup size is far better than the set it at 15-20 CF and forget it that I was recently told.
I am not a welder either by any means, I'm strictly a DIYer in my garage.
But I do Appreciate the time and information you put into this video!
I found alot of your videos useful, And Do miss your regular videos
I'm an absolute beginner and this video was down to earth, honest and easy to understand, many thanks
Thanks for your knowledge.....again! Very helpful to us trying to improve our skill set.
Holy cow! That was perfect. Everything about it was spot on for us newbe's
I HAVE BEEN WELDING FOR 40+ YEARS. MIG & STICK & OXY-ACET. I JUST BOUGHT A TIG MACHINE & KNEW NOTHING ABOUT TIG. I LIKE YOUR TEACHING STYLE! I WILL CONTINUE WATCHING YOUR VIDEO'S, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Your advice on sticking with standard consumables while you are learning basic TIG skills is priceless. I bought the fancy cups and gas lenses when I bought my welder a few months ago, but they are not being used until I have got the basics firmly in hand. I have not seen the advice to stick with standard consumables “Early on” anywhere else on UA-cam. You are exactly right. Thanks for saving me, and others, from that pitfall.
By far. The best instructional video. I've ever seen. On TIG welding. Thank you
Yeah, he is good.
I like the the he explained things
Amazing video! I love justin, so straight up and humble. Keep em coming dude!! Ur amazing!!
As an old mig welder and a very young tig welder I really enjoy your videos and always learn something new!! You are gifted and it shows!!
I have just learned all there is to know about TIG welding in 22 minutes! I'm going to go take my certification now...THANKS!
Exactly correct , only time and practice makes you a better welder. And having a pro over your shoulder coaching.
Awesome vid, put it in my favorites to rewatch for when I start TIG welding. Got me a scratch start setup, just need to get a tank for the argon.
WOW!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, FOR "SHARING" ALL OF THIS GREAT INFORMATION, DEMONSTRATION, RECOMMENDATIONS, ADVICE, KNOWLEDGE , SKILL, INSIGHTS, IN THIS CONCISE, SUPERB QUALITY, TUTORIAL!!!!!
No nonsense and no monotone marathon. Certainly, the easiest person to watch and listen to when researching welding. Thank You for the clear direct information. ( Also, I appreciate your natural, masculine , "All American" good looks.... and handsome demeanor). Keep up the good work. Sincerely!
I absolutely love this channel. Dont change a thing cause it’s perfect lol. Nice work bro.
Probably the best TIG rundown I have ever heard.
Dude you're a natural talking to people and I appreciate the way you drill in important parts. Very well done. This will be my first sub after being on youtube near 2 decades.
Great content for us unskilled welders!!!
I work at an aluminum shop where we weld scaffolding using mig we always use 100% argon gas nothing else listen to this man do what he says
Still a different process. There are mig aluminum applications that will benefit from mixing helium in the gas so it doesn't pull as much heat off the puddle.
Same goes for tig. I have a 185amp machine and that is not enough for me to properly weld aluminum that is thick or large enough to pull heat away and prevent a proper puddle. If I use 100% helium I can run an open corner on 1/4" aluminum at proper balance. Can't do it on straight argon unless you can preheat it enough to lower the amount of heat being pulled away.
I just ordered my 2024 255ext today. Haven't tig welded in 20+ years. I have to say that out of all the videos that I have watched about tig welding for beginners this is BY FAR the most informative! I will be checking out your uther vids! Thanks!
Probobly one of the most informative and certainly most important videos ever. I was just getting ready to let Argon out and go get a 90/10. Funny
Hey man what's your take on the longevity of everlast welders? I keep looking into the everlast 252 sti so I have everything from the start but I can't find enough consistent info good or bad to determine if it's gonna make it for the long haul. Keep up the great tig videos I've already learned alot from you
Nice clean new shirt
Uniform services are the best thing ever. Always clean, pressed and delivered once a week for cheap.
@@TheFabricatorSeries Nice!
Your killing the subscriber game...congrats. Fantastic video
I saw this video a while back when I was a hobbyist welder, and I still am, but now work in a tool shop where I sell welders along with many other tools. Thankyou for the information you give in your videos, is very helpful. 😊
Been watching all of your TIG videos for a long time and just did order my own TIG machine, here by Tuesday. Thanks for all your info, huge help.
If one could harness the energy that you use to gesticulate you could power a small city!!!
I wonder if wearing a welding cap sideways when you’re a bench welder has any benefits or is it strictly for trying to look cool
Yes, it helps the weld stick!😀
I've been welding for eons. I'm not professionally trained or, have not gone to any schools on welding. I've just sort of taught myself over a 50+ year period. I think I'm fair at it, not great, but fair. Let's put it this way, nothing of mine that I welded, has ever broke or has ever come un done. But, there's always room for improvement. I'm really glad I found this video. I will search out others of yours to help me with my skills. I very much appreciate you making these videos.
Scott
New to Welding. Just planning on buying my first Tig and getting away from Flux core. These series are beyond informative. I've learned so much and probably prevented myself from spending way more than I needed to. I'll watch more before I start, and watch them all again as I learn.
Gas here is really expencive, I'm keeping my small cup! lol
I see what you did there... "SubscRibe"
Thanks for your help. 5 days, and I'm killing it. Mad skills!!!
Have interview and haven't tig welder in 15 yrs. Your refresher course on set up consumables really helped out alot. Keep up good work bro
After 12 years of mig welding and owning a tig plant for a good few years and not using it, your video is one of the only ones that have given me the mental kick up the arse to blow the dust off of it and get practising tig. Subscribed 👍👍👍👍
Great video. It's been 20 yrs since I tig welded and it was on a real nice miller. Obviously everything was all set up. Didn't learn about torch tip material or cup size or any of the set up stuff. I didn't have time to learn about nothing but technique. So as I now have a tig welder n need to do some welding on a car project, I needed this video thank you!!
Dude you are an epic teacher, step by step and right to point with no BS in the middle.. keep it up, you have a new subscriber !!
i appreciate all of the knowledge, teaching my self to tig weld with a small amount of practice before i left the sheet metal union
Very much liked your video. Old oxy / acetylene, steel rod, brazing, silver solder guy here who could finally afford a good tig machine. I think your no nonsense, stick with what works, and it's all about skill level is the best thing you can ever tell all us wanna -bes welders. Thanks. Now I'm heading out to weld with fire.
You are a very good educator, focusing on a solid base.
WOW ...... you are the BEST instructor I came across this far. THANK YOU!!!!!
Best welding teacher I’ve ever seen and I went to school for a year in welding!!!!
Easily one of the best videos on the subject. Clear, concise, complete, and no B.S.
That has the best no BS & right to the point video I have seen yet.
You have an amazing speaking ability. Fast and accurate. You never misspeak. Even if you are reading it is amazing.
Mr Justin you have been a game changer for me . You practical approach has not gone unnoticed . Keep up the good work.
You're very good at explaining these basic procedures, and dispelling some of the hype and 'mystery' surrounding TIG welding. Beginners learn more from looking at bad welds than they do, good welds, provided you demonstrate the reasons for the 'bad'.
Hanks Justin. I haven’t welded TIG in 50 years. Just starting to get back into it and watching videos first. Thanks for great review and well done presentation.
I am 67 and I just love the skill of gluing metal together, did the research of the different models at the time sycrowave and Lincoln. I looked for problem resolutions the list for the sycrowave was very long, the list of problems for the Precision tig 275 was empty. I have no formal education in welding so I wanted to by a tool I could not blame as the cause of my failures. What you have just said in this video I have not heard before. Other than with the Transformer machines use what works, I have heard that. I have repaired a pair of glasses. I have welded a roof that was cut off a Prius and I have welded a power unit back on to a boat motor. I appreciate the effort you put into your videos.
Justin, I can't thank you enough for your videos. I'm learning how to TIG weld entirely on them. Every topic gets fully covered in a very reasonable and intuitive way. Thanks man!
jeezusgawd... and oh my... Yes, oh yes. So much information. And so timely for me. Don't waste, don't waste.... Great explanation, TFS. I appreciate the info shared, and your delivery style. Thanks!
Acquired my first TIG and I really appreciate this episode. I'll probably appreciate it even more during the next several days/weeks/months as I begin this skill building adventure.
Probably the most usable info I've seen yet from any of the TIG welding youtubers. Thank you. Now to get out there and practice with my coupons from weldmetalsonline. Now to change from the gas lens back to standard cup.
What a wonderful, no nonsense, no buzz word demonstration about how to get going with TIG! I'll see you for a class this summer, can't wait.
I am just learning TIG welding by watching your videos (Disabled VET) so I am definitely working on a budget here. I just purchased a Primeweld 225 that I have been saving up for, for a while. Thank You for your pointers
You have one hell of a teaching ability. Been welding for years, mostly self taught, and even I picked up some helpful stuff from this.
Seen a bunch of online instruction , this one gives the most clear accurate info per hr spent bar none thanks.
For me, this is the best welding channel on YT !!!!
Your welding videos are incredible, some of the best I've seen on the Internet. From somebody that is coming from your background(hands on person) which is in evidence, being able to impart the information that you have passed on is extremely, well done. Keep up the good work.
I’m new to TIG welding and your series. You do an excellent job teaching this subject matter, keep up the good work. Thank you.
Excellent video here man. I've got an AHP alpha tig 201 XD coming. I started welding four or so years ago. I started with SMAW. I am self taught watching UA-cam. I started with videos like this one. Mostly ChuckE 2009. Anyway, I was told that I should start my welding experience in SMAW and so I did. I spent a lot of time under the hood practicing and I've come a long way. Three years in and I bought my first wire feed. I bought an Everlast i mig 230 i. Great welder! And super good price. I'm rambling here .... Thank you for making videos like this one here. I know no one in person to get help from and I've got many questions about tig. You are answering those questions here in this video. I can hardly wait to put that tig torch in my hand next week. This video here will put me a mile ahead and I'm grateful! Happy welding to you all and good day!
Awesome video Justin!!!!! One of your best for sure!!!! Your pace and clarity in this video were better than any other ones I can think of.
