So, whether you're interested in pursuing welding as a career or just want to try your hand at TIG welding as a hobby, this video is for you! Be sure to tune in and don't forget to like, comment, ask questions, and subscribe to my channel for more welding tips and tutorials.
Your advice rings true. You do get better, quicker than you think.
Yeah for sure! We know it’s difficult .. but it’s not thatttt difficult . If you practice .. you will
Get good!
Always good to learn from someone who does such great work!
Thanks man! I’m aiming to share quality knowledge !
This video has helped me more than anything else - thank you
Dude that is awesome to hear ! Glad you are getting value out of it! Thank you for watching !
That’s exactly what all the welders that I know would tell me. Three months later my frustration went away. I still need a lot of practice but I’m a lot more comfortable welding anything.
Yeah man - just have to keep going you know? Never give up . But starting with the basics like fuse welding (autogeneous) is key!
Great channel💪🏽! Do you use any specific tungsten and rod depending on the material? Or it’s not necessary to change it? For example for stainless and steel.
@@luisrodriguez2302 no sir ! Same tungsten 1/16” 2% Ceriated . Yes i change the rod from stainless to mild. I use suoermissile for stainless and er 70 for Mild and chromoly
What are your thoughts on fusing a joint together letting it cool then repeating with filler rod? Please explain your reasoning
I would say that it’s not a good practice… not being a bully- but heating / reheating the material more than you need to is never good . Just make your first and only pass with filler and call it a day. Is there a reason your doing this ?
@@KULLYCO I was just thinking in the terms of practice
@@paulmcdonald3570 oh for just practice ! Yes - tear it up , any thing you can do to have the torch in your hand more is a positive I think
I have a dumb question, but are you supposed to touch the tungsten to the metal to weld it? I know not to touch the filler to the tungsten, but I mean the metal itself
No sir - when your welding you will have your tungsten real close to the material… but it will not touch . If you touch it - it will ruin the tip of your tungsten
To add, can I Tig weld Aluminum with THE EVERLAST POWERMTS 141SI
I cant comment on this with certainty as I am not familiar with this machine.. but I am sure you can.
Can you recommend a machine that I can purchase to weld Aluminum for a budget or $800 to $1200 please.
I'd love a Miller Dynasty 210 but yikes...! yes, its a little spendier. I purchased a Primeweld Tig225x when starting and I highly recommend it. Just buy a bigger welding cart if you do.
I’ve heard good things about those machines! Glad it’s working well for you . Yeah the dynasty stufff can get pricey . I bought mine a few years back when they were slightly cheaper :)
@@KULLYCO the key to tig welding as you stated is practice. and comfort! Primeweld also just came out with a new TIG box a 325 model but looks a little sophisticated for me.
This video is amazing in value and good knowledge transfer but your voice and speed of speech nearly killed me
Sorry dude ! I can help in a lot of ways - but i can’t change my voice 😂
Not dissing your skills but....
1000% self taught......but then you said you did tig welding tuition in high school ????
You do also have the advantage of a father that is involved in motorsport.....just saying. 🤔
Yes all true data - to an extent ! My dad didn’t weld, nor did my high school class teacher know how to weld ! Lol the tig welding was 1000 percent self taught by myself and a friend of mine together . It yes i could see that being a bit misleading
