@garry3013 you mentioned you are 3G 6G certified. If that’s the case why would you think that your MiG weld “would not take and fail later on”? Once you have the basics down on melting two pieces of metal together, you should know if a weld is sufficient enough or not. Being a certified welder should make that even more true.
Good afternoon , I have just watched your video with Mike DiLuccia. I have been welding for 57 years and without a doubt that is the most instrutive video I have ever watched,so beautifully explained and so easy to understand. I am 71 and still in the workshop 9 hours a day, probably welding 6 of those hours and its the the old story that you are never too old to learn and I have certainly learned a lot today. Thank you.
Respect for you my man, and i'm glad that you enjoy it, i'm 34 and just learning how to weld, i'm going for mig welding since i have rust on my chassis. I was always anxious for rust holes in chassis, but this year i'm going to win it and learn how to weld.
I'm 34 aswell lol, I am a steel pipe welder I weld flanges and butt welds and many other custom pieces, I am struggling with small sockets and branches, ( hand positions) is very poor and need help with visual, ( very large weld gun tip) as I weld big pipe 8inch up to 18inch??? Thank you if you can help me 💪
Best MIG welding video on UA-cam. Thank you so much!!! I have a shop full of welders including dual pulse MIG, and now I am almost a welder because of watching you. The fundamentals you presented are spot on. I had the same results as Travis; my welding improved within 20 minutes after watching this. Thanks again!
*BeadMaster Mike. This will get a million views. Love how he keeps it super simple and samurais the sacred cows of welding a la "settings label on the lid on my welder says ....". Would love to see a cut and dye on there, just for comparison.*
After taking several classes, and garage welding for years, this is absolutely one of the best hand technique videos I've seen. If you listen closely there's also input on setting your machine. This is about finesse, not muscling a weld. Great video!
I’m a DIY car guy; I fabricate a little sometimes and I mostly mig and this video has taught me more simple tricks than I’ve ever been able to get from other sources before! Thank you Mike!
Not surprised that this fella is running a whole crew. As Instructors go, he has Leadership all over him! Management can be taught to almost anyone. Leadership, has a HUGE gap between those that have it, and those that don't, IMO. Have had TOO many Instructors that were capable in their field, but had no skills whatsoever, in being able to pass those skills on. They just didn't understand, that others saw anything other than what they saw! Anti-Spatter spray... Pam Cooking oil was supposedly sold by more than a few Welding supply outfits as Anti-Spatter spray. canola Oil inna spray bomb. Thanks! Worth the time spent to watch! Rare stuff!
Travis, watching your discoloration from the coupon you're welding changed dramatically when Mike corrected you. I am left handed and owned my MIG in 84. I welded stick on the farm, I can't wait to "Listen" to the rhythm and laugh if you will, I found myself practicing those movements at the table! I am retired! Love MIG Master Mike. What a humble dude. Thank you for shedding "Light" on this topic.
MigMasterMike, what a fantastic tutor, and congrats to the 'student' for taking it in the intensive manner shown. So much to learn in this video. I'm 70, living in Ireland and have just taken possession of an R-TECH 181mig welder. Roll of 0.8mm wire x 5kg due for delivery tomorrow. I'm looking forward to rekindling my interest in welding after a long few years and intend putting into practice all of whatI learned this evening watching this master class in Mig.
I'm a welder as well , I've always noticed that welders that are awesome at what they do , never tell anyone that they are a great or even a good welder , but if they are a welder that is always telling people how good they are, 99.9% of those guys aren't worth a crap at it !! I like how he says at the beginning how he wants to show people how to be a better welder , that's really cool!! Thanks for the video
Absolutely love this video. It’s the most realistic problems, a hobbyist has. Being consistent, can’t see is the 2 biggest for me. This guy is really down to earth. It was great when you asked him about something and he said “I don’t know it just works for me. Love it. lol subscribed.
sincere thanks to Mike & his student. matches or exceeds the best ability to turn experience into high quality instruction of technique that I have run across in the last 50 years. well done & comprehensive.
All of your content is above and beyond but this one hit it out of the park! Thank you for sharing the knowledge! The best teacher I ever had was body and fender you are right up there with him !
Thank you for this "VERY" informative video. It's been many years since I have done any welding and I believe after watching this video I could weld better now than ever before. I will apply this to my practice welding starting tomorrow. It will be so much fun to weld again after 40 years of not welding. With a learning disability I absorbed his teachings and explanations so well. Thank you very much Abner Miller
@@SYLVESTERSCUSTOMS words to live by , my friend - I'm doing a 1967 Camaro Pro street and installing new quarters (aftermarket crap) and learning every day

I’ve watched many welding videos and few talk about the hand motions that make the puddle move and focus in on only the puddle. Students probably need both. Good job on the video. Thanks!
There's folks that are born with a master skill and then there's us that have to learn over time this guy is a sculpture maker with a welder this was awesome to watch.
I've got a new gasless MIG waiting for me to build up enough bravery to begin making a start. I'm now practising this sliding, cursive e technique on the edge of my desk with a dead machine. Shoulders down, relaxed, tip pointing slightly upwards. Getting a very good idea of how it's supposed to feel. What a brilliant tutorial for a complete beginner. Thank you.
This is awesome I haven't picked up a welder for over 20 years I didn't get to finish learning I still remember some bits but this is going to help me massively thanks
Great video. Glad as an experienced welder, you were humble enough to ask the right questions. That really helped me as a 1st year welder.... Great teaching from you both....
Great video I was taught to pull not push 30 odd years ago, one thing I was also taught more so on thinner metal if you have a horizontal plate and a vertical sheet that is also the edge of the sheet rather than the than the bottom plate that you are welding in the middle of ( not a edge) I was told to focus the weld to the bottom to get the heat into the bottom plate & flick it out to the vertical as it’s harder to get the penetration in the lower plate without overheating the top vertical sheet. With that in mind he showed doing the Es & pursing at the top could it be pursued at the bottom or is that more for thinner metal. I am still learning I would love to sit down with a really good welder like him that talks real logical tips with experience to back it up.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to share this amazing content with all of us. It is greatly appreciated!!!! I have learned more from you in the last couple years than I have in the last decade!
I've watched about 100 training videos on welding and no one has ever described exactly what I wanted to see - a detailed welding pattern technique. So. I am now going to learn and practise this pattern of welding. Amazing. Thank you.
Thanks again for taking the time to show us more. Really appreciate the time work you guys put in for us. I weld forward chasing the heat zone with backward C's , old stick practices. Practising this one in my head as im typing.
Thankyou to both of you for setting this session up. Mike, I now understand more about how my welds are not working, and why. Videoing my work, never thought of that. I am looking forward to doing lots of practice welds, the create my own welding trolley, to help organise my workshop. ❤ Next will be toning down to sheet metal for my car repairs. One step at a time. Thankyou once again.
Great video, guys. Lots of information to absorb. It is always easiest to learn when someone knows what they teach. I know that may sound foolish, but if you've ever had someone try to teach you that doesn't know 100% what they are teaching, it really makes a difference. Thank y'all so much for what you did and what you showed. God bless and y'all stay safe out there.
Great vid! Was a D1.1 structural welder for many years, hard wire 75/25, short circuit, later years metal core gassing with 85/15 spray mode. Good tip for controlling arc blow (wandering or splattering arc) make a short auxiliary ground bolted to the table and experiment with where you clamp to the work piece. Try welding to it or away from it.Round tube, wrap it or loop back and forth sometimes clockwise or counter clockwise around the tube. Changes the magnetic field created by the DC current. Tack positions can also have an effect too. Really sweet welds, with a MIG, sound of arc lets me know I’m on it. Super clean ground to work connection very important. P & O is really nice material to work with! All the details are a factor. Thanks, fun watching a real craftsman.
That was by far the best video I have watched to improve my welding and to better understand proper gun position. When welding T joints I have struggled in the past with my weld pool collecting more on the bottom plate. After watching the video my welds are much more even and consistent. Thank you for providing such good information!
Had someone in my shop years ago that welded that good and could never could. Thanks for the tips and great questions were being asked so I could understand every step of the way. So excited to get back to the smell of burning metal. Thanks guys.
I hope he starts a UA-cam channel his welding is top notch to say the least and hey Sylvesters was on point with just the little help imagine in a couple months what he could obtain!
Thank you for your time and blessing the metal burning community with these skills to practice. That Mike cat seems like a cool guy. Not big headed because he can weld. Didn't take anyone else down about their technique. He just said well my welds don't break and it works for me.
I know this video is a few months old but this is fantastic i have learned show much i cant wait til my knee is healed from replacment so i can get back out to my shop and try all these things ive learn in this video thank you
OutfluffingSTANDING! This video changed it all for me. I've been making some of the world's best booger welds for a couple decades... but after a few minutes, they get better... I've played with gas pressure, voltage and wire speed ad NAUSEUM, to small avail. Thank you for sharing all this experience and knowledge for the rest of us to learn. Rest assured that you two have made the world a much better place in half an hour, and to borrow a phrase from Premier Power Welders--REAL MEN WELD NAKED! 🤣 (Subscribed for life!)
My, my!! I never really did much with MIG however, TIG is another story. my thing was primarily custom bicycle frames with either stainless or titanium. These welds are not only structural, they must be cosmetically perfect seeing as they are never painted. Mike has it dialed in with MIG, good stuff, Mike!!
Thankyou. I've done alot of welding on my jeeps and just gaining confidence on structural welds. Thankyou . Most informative video I've watched. Working w a Lincoln 240 abcd machine
Awesome video, Mike sharing some great pro tips and it was all put together in a way that was easy to follow and engaging. Looking forward to starting to learn Mig in the new year!
I can't wait to try this. I definitely get better results using .030 vs .035 wire. My auto dark hood is a 20+ yo cheapo. At 62, my vision has declined and it's hard to see my welding. I never thought the helmet quality or having the hood cape would matter that much. Time to reinvest in my hobby. Thank you.
This vid is priceless...And it bums me out. I learned to push mig, and I'm also a lefty that's been in many a dumb positions but I always made it work. Damn I need to try dragging! And NO, I didn't do any structural it was alot of odd and ends stuff (QTs in South TX have alot of my welded screens) but it's always exciting to learn! Thanks guys!!
It's the heat soaked material that attracts the spatter. If the parent material is cooler, th BBs roll or don't stick. But when it's hot hot hot, the molten metal wants to stick to it more, cause the temps are closer to that adhesion temp, so atoms can fuse much easier.
Ur videos are the best man anytime im curious about something or just wana learn how to do something new i search and ur channel pops up, awsome stuff for real and I appreciate you helping all of us learning the tricks of the trade
Only time to clamp the other hand, in my opinion, is.. if you're pushing the weld or if you have an injury in the hands. Thabks for inviting Mike on this episode. It was 👍 You both are on point, and I learned from this video. Great job. First time seeing your channel.
Great explanation, for me the most important part of welding is to be relaxed, dont death grip the gun, dont tense up your elbow and shoulder, just get into a comfortable position and stack.

My, my!! I never really did much with MIG however, TIG is another story. my thing was primarily custom bicycle frames with either stainless or titanium. These welds are not only structural, they must be cosmetically perfect seeing as they are never painted. Mike has it dialed in with MIG, good stuff, Mike!!
Thankyou. I've done alot of welding on my jeeps and just gaining confidence on structural welds. Thankyou . Most informative video I've watched. Working w a Lincoln 240 abcd machine
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!

Here trying to get to the point where I can see mistakes happening in the moment and not after the job is done. ❤ great job explaining things guys!
Thank you!
Great info and very helpful for me, thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!

Glad you enjoyed it!
Great info from a great teacher.

This never gets old thank u
Thank you!
I can't wait to try this. I definitely get better results using .030 vs .035 wire. My auto dark hood is a 20+ yo cheapo. At 62, my vision has declined and it's hard to see my welding. I never thought the helmet quality or having the hood cape would matter that much. Time to reinvest in my hobby. Thank you.
Thanks you guys. The best instruction I’ve seen!
@@grimmreaper6351 thank you!
That was all very good information and it was nice that you were open to learn new techniques. Some people can’t leave their ego at the door. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
This vid is priceless...And it bums me out. I learned to push mig, and I'm also a lefty that's been in many a dumb positions but I always made it work. Damn I need to try dragging! And NO, I didn't do any structural it was alot of odd and ends stuff (QTs in South TX have alot of my welded screens) but it's always exciting to learn! Thanks guys!!
Very welcome!
Awesome instructional video!!! Thanks a bunch guys!!!
Our pleasure!
Really enjoyed this!

For scribing my lines for weld size. I use the shank end of a drill bit. 1/4” weld needs a 1/2” drill bit. Makes a perfect 1/4” line to line.
I've been in the game 35 years plus. He's spot on!
Great information I always use the cursive e for almost all my welding. I like the angle you use it seems to be easier than coming in from the top.
Thank you
Great instruction
Thanks, this was a very informative video, I learn something new every video you put out!
Glad it was helpful!
It's the heat soaked material that attracts the spatter. If the parent material is cooler, th BBs roll or don't stick.
But when it's hot hot hot, the molten metal wants to stick to it more, cause the temps are closer to that adhesion temp, so atoms can fuse much easier.
Ur videos are the best man anytime im curious about something or just wana learn how to do something new i search and ur channel pops up, awsome stuff for real and I appreciate you helping all of us learning the tricks of the trade
Awesome! Thank you! Glad they are helping everyone.
Only time to clamp the other hand, in my opinion, is.. if you're pushing the weld or if you have an injury in the hands. Thabks for inviting Mike on this episode. It was 👍 You both are on point, and I learned from this video. Great job. First time seeing your channel.
Thank you!

Im a mig welder but I have ugly welds, so far the best video in regard to mig welding better.
Thank you
Great video! Thanks for the mig tips, very well detailed explanations 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Great explanation, for me the most important part of welding is to be relaxed, dont death grip the gun, dont tense up your elbow and shoulder, just get into a comfortable position and stack.
