Thank you so much for uploading these videos man! Very helpful! I'm training to be a welder and got to try it out in workshop for the first time today! So hyped!
THANK YOU! This was very easy to follow and a great breakdown of the basics. I've been screwing up my hobby welds for awhile. This let me know the way I should have been practicing.
my first video on welding since I tried in in University. Very informative and to the point. I want to buy the equipment and create some stuff. Thanks for sharing!
I work in the scrap yard, and my boss just told me I will be welding soon. I want to practice, and think MIG welding will be a good start. I looked on Amazon and they have a few sets available ranging from $35-$Super Expensive. Any suggestions on my first kit? Brands, tools, accessories? Thank you in advance
I would go with a known brand like Lincoln/Hobart/Miller and go with a 220V if possible. I paid 700 for my hobart and it is pretty good. My Harbor Freight went into the trash. They might be better now, but if it can't do the job, is makes it the most expensive welder.
I have mostly used Miller machines. You won’t go wrong with a millermatic. Most of the Lincolns are good as are Hobart and ESAB. In my area, they come up used on the classifieds pretty often as well. I also have one of the new Titanium MIG 170 welders from Harbor Freight. It works surprisingly well, though I haven’t had it long enough to comment on durability. There’s a review on my channel about it. Besides a hood and gloves, an angle grinder is the main other tool that you’ll need. Also, for MIG, you would need a gas cylinder for shielding gas.
I’m too far out. I grew up on a farm with ancient stick welders and I’ve not touched a welder in 35/40 years now. Stick is what I still recall so I want to be 40 feet away. Lol.
Hi im a beginner and cant decide weather to buy an ac/dc tig stick or a mig with flux core or some have stick function . The work will be very general , opinion greatly appreciated.
The answer here will depend on two things: 1. how much effort you want to put into learning and 2. what kind of materials/projects you are going to do. For me, I would do the AC/DC TIG with stick. It's the more versatile setup. You can do some heavy fab with stick and handle just about any material with TIG using the same gas for steel and aluminum. You will also have more control on thinner material. TIG is also really fun to do once you get past the frustrating learning phase. The downside to this option is that TIG and stick welding are both difficult and time consuming to learn compared to MIG and will typically be slower. If you want something that can be learned quickly or if you are going to be doing only steel fab focused on speed and productivity, the MIG is a great choice. You can weld aluminum with a MIG, but it takes a different type of gas and a spool gun or push-pull gun, so keep that in mind. You really can't go wrong either way. Getting a new welder is one of my very favorite things, so remember to have fun with it, whichever option you choose.
Can you suggest a good welder for a DIY beginner? I want to weld steel and aluminum, not looking for the cheapest one available, but a decent starter unit I won't need to replace in a year. Thanks.
So, it depends quite a bit on what you would like to do, but to weld aluminum, you'll be looking at TIG or MIG welding. If you want to weld much aluminum, I'd recommend an AC/DC TIG welder, but it will have a steeper learning curve than a MIG welder. If you only want to weld aluminum every now and again, you could go with MIG, which is easier to learn. You can MIG weld aluminum with a spool gun, but it's not as versatile as TIG and you will need a second gas cylinder. If I were picking for myself, I'd pick TIG, but make sure you're up for some time practicing and learning. I'll link a couple videos below that will help you learn about these two processes: How to MIG Weld for Beginners: ua-cam.com/video/NlOihxByeus/v-deo.html How to MIG Weld Aluminum: ua-cam.com/video/48y-7sGRDtc/v-deo.html How to TIG Weld for Beginners: ua-cam.com/video/2od_jRAAQ6w/v-deo.html Another consideration is whether you have a 220 volt outlet and what thickness of material you are going to weld. I like dual voltage machines because they can be used on 110 volt or 220 volt, but the output (and your material thickness) will be limited on 110 volts. My pick for AC/DC TIG for a DIY beginner is the Primeweld 225X. Another one that I haven't tried, but have heard good things about is the AHP alphatig. I have a video review of the Primeweld here: ua-cam.com/video/ddIveqH1uQM/v-deo.html The higher end MIG machines that I would look at are the Millermatic 211 and Lincoln Powermig 210 MP. These are both good machines, but are a bit pricey and their spool guns will cost quite a bit. For casual use, I'd consider the Titanium MIG 170 from harbor freight. I have this machine as a back up along with the with the titanium spool gun. I haven't use it a lot, but so far, it works really well and costs less than half of the Miller or Lincoln. I hope this helps with the decision.
I’ve watched 100s of mig welding videos but this stands out as a really well paced, clear tutorial of the basics. I also echo the comment welcoming the absence of loud cliche background music 👍🏼 Also, I’d just add that cleanliness is SO important when welding - it would be great if we were always fusing two shiny plates of metal together but we’re not always that lucky (especially with car sills etc) so do everything you can to make sure your material is as clean and shiny as possible beforehand and during if necessary to maintain a good contact. It makes a HUGE difference to the whole process and allows you to concentrate on technique development instead of running into problems because soot and rust are secretly holding you back.
Great teaching. I need help with something more simple than this even. I can’t see a thing. What is the problem? When I flip my helmet down I may as well have my eyes closed. Talk about frustration. If I could see what I’m doing I could probably weld like a pro.
Don’t have a welder. Never welded before. But it seems like a cool thing and very interesting. Thinking about getting into welding because of your video and good explanation about it
Same here, I'm trying to figure out which welder to buy, I'm liking the Lincoln Electric 180 (trying to figure out the difference between the SP and the HD). I think Tim has links in one of the beginner videos.
Finally someone gives me information the way I need it concisely, quickly and without hemming and hawing or waxing poetic about old Betsy their favorite wrench for 5 minutes. You seem to have all your materials in place and your plan on what you’re going to do and say and you get to it. That’s how you get a job done.
Hear! Hear! Well said, Drunk Buzzard: "Information presented concisely, quickly and without hemming and hawing". I too dislike when a stream of information is disrupted, my old brain gets distracted I suppose.
What causes the Tan Soot around MIG welds? I have noticed that when welding with C100 I get less Tan soot and much more with C25 which doesn’t make sense to me as Argon is an inert gas and CO2 is a reactive gas, and one would think you would get more soot. Also when I spot weld with C25 there is a small black soot ring that is surrounded by the Tan soot. I always clean my metal down to bright metal and used 20-35 cfh cover gas flow, and it doesn’t seem to matter. I have heard it may have something to do with nitrogen. I can’t find anything about this phenomenon on the forums or videos. It feels like I’m doing something wrong, but I have seen this phenomenon in other videos by much more qualified welders. I would be very thankful for an explanation, and I’m sure many other new DIY welders would love to know. Perhaps you could create a video about why the difference in Soot with C25 vs C100. Thank You for your awesome videos, I have learned a lot.
Thanks mate basic simple video 👍 I've had little dibs and dabs at welding but gone into a role where I'll be welding a lot more than I have before and watching you vid really helps me understand and ge where I need to be at. I can lay down some good welds but understanding how it all works and seeing the welds on the plate really resonated with me. Thanks heaps mate, I look forward to being able to create and weld and get better at the craft
Why doesn’t anyone stress the importance of grounding? WhAt to ground too? The most important thing to ground too, how not to electrocute yourself. Like this guy did. But he didn’t explain everything super well.
This makes about the 4th time I have watched this, as I try to learn how to weld properly with my Mig machine. I am restoring an old 56 Chevy, so I am welding everything from body panels to traction bars. It's fun but it can really be frustrating too! ;) Your video is very clear and concise and easy to understand. Keep up the good work!
Repent to Jesus Christ! Luke 5:32 King James Version 32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Luke 13:3 King James Version 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
This is really good to watch. I am eager to learn how to do this. I have a classic car with floor pans in dire need of work and some spots on the rear quarter panels as well. Hardly anybody works on classic cars these days and the ones who do charge a lot of $$
I love your explanation of movement and distance and angle. Some of those simple things you talked about I haven't heard from many other instructional videos or if I did they weren't explained as well as you did. Thank you so much
aye am i a total dumbass or? so i set up my machine got the wire fed through everything seems to be set. then i go to weld this joint and nothing. my wire feeds through the tip as i pull trigger but no MAGIC. just my flex core wire feeding through. no actually sparks or anything.
I wanna get a gasless welder but I don't want to shock the crap out of myself (never welded). I see people leaning against the ground with there bare hands welding stuff so Im not fully understanding how to not shock the crap out of myself.
I just want to weld some bits of 3mm rod together, make a roll cage for an rc project.my dad has just dropped his mig off, am i using a sledgehammer to open a peanut? I just want little spots
During my previous career, I examined thousands of welds, using dye-penetrant, flux-magnetics, X-rays, ultrasound and eddy-current. I knew much about welds - in theory. It's only since a couple of years that I started to get my feet wet with welding, having bought simple yet effective equipment from Lidl (a grocery store chain here in Western Europe). My upcoming "project" is a chimney roof that I plan to make myself. Buying the sheet steel plates, cut to size, is not the problem. Welding them together, without too much warping, might be a problem. I will first practice on scraps, until I feel confident enough to touch the project's plates and make it happen. Thank you for this no-nonsense demo. UA-cam should have more videos like this.
Im confused. Everyone video that i have watched about mig welding have always said to drag, because if you push you can clog up your tip, in some cases ruin it. But then you say that you have to push weld when dealing with aliminium. So now im totally confused.
You started with some rapid fire comments about the gas settings but never said another word about it. Maybe we're expected to be experts on that aspect already.
am 17 and i recently join a small metal company that frequently uses welding, when the welder inst there that day the boss trusts me to weld😂(even though i have no experience) im pretty work smart so i understand the basics and get some decent welds but this will definitely be handy for when im back using the mig👍
you are welcome, glad you like it...I have been welding since early childhood...I am a prodigy hopefully you will follow up my foot steps...god bless you too...happy Hindu day..
I'm new to Mig welding and curious if i should remove the wire from the gun each time when im done? I'm guessing i have been messing with it on weekends so i go about a week between uses. I have been removing it from the gun and tensioner but i haven't found much info on if it's bad to leave it in. I would THINK, keeping it wound up wouldn't be good since it would be difficult to keep the gun straight while stored.
Thanks for posting! I always leave my wire in, and it has never caused a problem for me. I also wrap up my lead with the wire in it. The only time it needs to be really straight is when feeding new wire.
You can learn to weld. I'll show you exactly what to do in my affordable online welding courses at courses.timwelds.com.
if welding use to backing plate how to remove the backingplate?
Thank you

Wow.. a teaching video without stoopid thrashcore music in the background.. THANKYOU
Amen
Agreed!
Yup, trash music usually = trash quality advice😎
I thought the same thing, I came here for welding tips, not a rock concert. It was pretty refreshing.
I tune out when music starts.
in a millwright program and passed with a 100% because of this video!!! thanks homie
Nice work!
THANK YOU! This was very easy to follow and a great breakdown of the basics. I've been screwing up my hobby welds for awhile. This let me know the way I should have been practicing.
Thanks for the quick tutorial and not a long boring video very informative just what I needed
This is the 4th might welding video I've watched and this is the only one that explained the basics of MIG welding to me. Nice work.
Might just be because of how simple it is
my first video on welding since I tried in in University. Very informative and to the point. I want to buy the equipment and create some stuff. Thanks for sharing!
Concise, accurate,and simple. Excellent videos of everything.
I've watched a lot of videos, and this one is definitely one of the best. Thank you sir!!

Thanks boss, uncle wants me to help him out at work and I'm shite it befor but this helped loads 👍
Been wanting to weld now after watching this video iam truly gonna buy one thank you sir.
Good no nonsense teaching ..well done
Thanks for this vid man, I've already certified in 1g stick and my instructor just moved me to MIG and I've been having issues.
Excellent presentation.
Thank you so much for this. It makes so much sence to me now.
Thank you very much sir. I'll be practicing shortly.
Cheers. That's clear instruction. Time to get my welder out.
Thanks this video was very helpful😊
This is great! Thanks

Great video! Thanks for the tips!!
Great Video!!
Thank you.
Thank you
This is awesome. Very clear and straight to the point. I want to learn, but have no one to teach me. So thank you, Tim.
I appreciate it man!!
Excellent advise. Question: is a 220V welder more advantageous than a 115V welder?
Well presented
Thx for the info, great video!

I'm a few years late, but I'm intrigued about the soda CO2 bottle. Is there an adapter for that, or did you have to make one?
You can just buy one from a welding supply or Amazon.
Great advice thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
This was good , thanks man
Glad you liked it!
The good and long welds looked very similar. Am I correct, curious since new to the game?
Is welding safe with or without gloves?
Which one of the 2 gases are better ? 100 % or 75/25
75/25 runs cleaner and smoother than 100% CO2.

@@TimWelds Hi thanks for the reply, now steering more towards the stick tig option once again. Keep up the great channel.
Most tig welder has stick function, for home user, a mig with flux core and pulse fuction (for Aluminum) would be ok.

You can't weld steel to aluminium.
So you don't explain how to set up the gas?
Time to go make a mess with my buddy's Harbor Freight wire welder 🤣

@@TimWelds Unfortunately, when I started welding I could not see anything, I about ruined the item I was "welding." :/
@@Win94ae rip
Crystal clear 👍and no I'm not being sarcastic. Thank you.
This was exactly what I was looking for. Fantastic. Question, are you depressing the trigger the entire time you are welding?
Yes. Depending on your machine, you can set it to 4T mode so you don't have to hold it the whole time.
can you talk about thin metals (car fenders) to stop burn-through?
During my previous career, I examined thousands of welds, using dye-penetrant, flux-magnetics, X-rays, ultrasound and eddy-current. I knew much about welds - in theory.

Just set it to 25 CFH. If you get porosity, turn it up a little. Not much more to it.
You know Co2+Ar isnt MIG but MAG. 🤦🏼♂️
am 17 and i recently join a small metal company that frequently uses welding, when the welder inst there that day the boss trusts me to weld😂(even though i have no experience) im pretty work smart so i understand the basics and get some decent welds but this will definitely be handy for when im back using the mig👍
I love your teaching, good job God bless you

I'm new to Mig welding and curious if i should remove the wire from the gun each time when im done? I'm guessing i have been messing with it on weekends so i go about a week between uses. I have been removing it from the gun and tensioner but i haven't found much info on if it's bad to leave it in. I would THINK, keeping it wound up wouldn't be good since it would be difficult to keep the gun straight while stored.
Thanks for posting! I always leave my wire in, and it has never caused a problem for me. I also wrap up my lead with the wire in it. The only time it needs to be really straight is when feeding new wire.
Thanks!
So you need co2 along with the mig welder?
CO2 alone won't work, you need a welder too.
