Adam did a Weld.com shop tour, as well as an Abom79 twist on 1000 AMP Stick welding! Go watch and give him a sub: ua-cam.com/video/AzABTpi_iCA/v-deo.html
I've mentioned this before and I tell all my apprentices to please, please, please wear a mask under your hood! You even said that the ventilation system wasn't strong enough for those fumes. I'm a 55 yr old UA Instructor that's on long term disability because I've been welding since I was 16 and never, never wore a mask under my hood. I've been diagnosed with Manganese Poisoning because of all the crap that's enrobed on the rods. (Google it. It's exactly like Parkinson's and read the caution on the rod box.). And I tell all the apprentices to wear them. I challenge you and all the other teachers to do the same. I'm lucky because I've been Union all my life so I'm protected Insurance wise and no, I'm not going on a Union or non-Union rant. I'm going on a protect your future rant. Wear a mask. It's not that hard.
Did u ever have a big fan or anything blowing on u while u were welding? cuz thats all I do... but Im sure I still breath that shit in.... galvanized at that. goin on 5 years😷💀 ur post makes me rethink my safety... or lack there of!
My father worked at the Warren Michigan Tank Plant from 1977-1998 and he used these huge rods on some of the main hull welds. We had several of the giant welding rod laying around our garage at home for fun......
Fun seeing two separate ‘tubers get together. Abom is a cool cat. I enjoy learning the machine end of industry from him and others. Nice learning what my mill and lathe are capable of
Wow, 1000 amps. I'd hate to have arc blow start up. You'd be dancing with an electric devil on that one. It would also be interesting to have a stuck rod. Disconnecting from that would be an adventure.
That is some crazy welding! Adam is a consummate professional and an excellent metal worker. They probably do alot of grind back when it is deployed in the field.
I used to repair the big cast pieces where the anchor chain comes out of the ship. (Ageis destroyers for the United States Navy bath iron works shipyard in Maine). They would ut the cast pieces and sometimes find sand pockets. I would gouge out and clean the pockets then preheat to 200 degrees and then fill it back in with 1/16 100s wire with 95/5 gas on pulse arc mode. We ran Miller 356 inverters that Miller had custom programmed them for all processes. Including a 1/16 100s pulse mode. After it all passed ut I then hardfaced where the chain rubbed with the same wire. Great video. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I remember seeing a test rig for running Jumbos at Metrode's factory in Chertsey. It looked like the see-saw in the video clip and run from a pyramid stack of power units. Pretty sure they were esoteric alloy though, something crazy my dad cooked up. Was great to see Abom hand running that, looked pretty crazy!
I think that neat swirl pattern is because with small amounts of fluid like little drops of water the fluid tension keeps it pulled together, but once you get enough of a fluid together it can run like a river and not be constrained into small round shapes by surface tension.
I wish we had this when the shop made the Support towers for the Cincinnati Reds scoreboard 😂 forty some passes with a ER7018 gets old in TS y joint fast
You can stack weld with it. We scarfed big dies that stamped car parts. Then flooded them back up with that rod we also used 1/8 wire and 5/32 wire too flood with it was very interesting.
How many pain killers did you need for the aching back that came along with the demo? In all my years, I never saw anybody put a hand on the rod, while welding, but I have seen bigger electrodes before ... in the melt shop of 😛the steel mill, as they entered the pot ... in fact, they used 3 of them, about 12" in diameter. Nice video, guys
Given the size of that rod, it gives a good idea whats going on around the arc with a 3.2mm rod or similar doesnt it. Ie the way the slag transfers across as well as the metal transfer
You could probably charge people to use that thing just so they can say they ran a thousand amps😂 I'm thinking he went too slow and the slag got out in front of the puddle that's why there was inclusions.
When my friend Dr Frankenstein needed a good jolt of juice he'd get his man Igor to plug the lab straight into a thundercloud. Pulled the switch and he'd got 20,000 amps on tap. Oh yeah...
I had a job working with 7/32 and 1/4 inch big steel slab on the stop part of the coiler of an 86" hot strip mill. I welded about a 15 degree uphill. You have to watch the slag and steel flipping off the rod. On 3/4 inch plate this wouldn't work. But, on 16 inch x 84 inch weld with welding going on steady for 16 - 24 hours it surely was a lot of full penetration depending on your rod blowing off the rod. the slag peeled off all the time. I burned up double ply welding gloves every hour or so and burned up several stingers.
I know this is an automated process on the norm, but I’m just thinking here. The puddle is like water. If you had control over the voltage, you could dry the puddle up and possibly have more control and fewer discontinuities. Just a thought. I know nothing about this electrode or the flux composition, just considering basic SMAW arc characteristics. Any insight on this?
Use that rod on a clear night when the stars are bright and the guys on the international space station would be able to see the arc! I would to have a do at welding with those rods. Maybe Weld.com could do a competition with that as a prize?
My biggest rod was 1/2 7018. Welding 3/4 plate corner joint. Had an old 800 amp lincon diesel welder. 3/4 is massive. wow. If you need to sun bleach a pair of jeans
Largest electrode I've ever used was 1/2" (if I remember right) in welding school. It was for shits and giggles more than anything, but man are those large rods crazy to run
It would have been interesting to see the difference between reversing the polarity or was this AC welding I wasn't sure it'd be interested in put more of the heat into the plate and see if you got more penetration out of it just curious
Hi sir,thank you for your videos, you are a great teacher and I have learned a lot about welding, so, can you make a video for haw to read from engineering drawings of shop steel beams? Thanks.
Hi, I see the list of abrasive discs in the video description. I read each of the Amazon pages but I can’t tell which one is the one you raved about “When a diamond breaks it exposes another diamond and keeps going”. Which disc is it?
I have one of these rods, but I have no plan to try to use it. They’re not intended for handheld welding. The welds I’ve seen from these sticks look pretty good.

Weld.com link doesn’t work....says it’s a private video
@@jwdickinson643 give it a few minutes. The video isn't live yet.
Bad vid link. Private.
Weld.com still doesn’t work
Two hours and twenty minutes update. STILL not working.
I wanna try that electrode with overhead while wearing a tank top only
Can we film? Lol
🤣
Hell no
Make sure you wear just safety glasses
No you don’t!
The power of the sun.... in the palm of my hand..
Spiderman 2 lol
Weld 'puddle'? More like a weld "pond'!

A very important warning about safety, no matter what your trade!
@@jedisentinel1499 Yes.
"Big Boy Welding", indeed! Who needs a welding machine when you've got Abom79?
Interesting stuff to play with. Thanks to the people who facilitated lending the equipment to make it happen.
Abom is without a doubt the greatest machinist I've ever seen cause he has the highest standards in the workplace
My father worked at the Warren Michigan Tank Plant from 1977-1998 and he used these huge rods on some of the main hull welds. We had several of the giant welding rod laying around our garage at home for fun......
Dude was disappointed in his giant weld ! You did good man ! You seem to take great pride in your work!!
Good job
💗💗👍👍This is Kimchi Welder who is uploading welding video in Canada. I'm learning a lot from the your videos, thank you all the time!👍👍💗💗
Fun seeing two separate ‘tubers get together. Abom is a cool cat. I enjoy learning the machine end of industry from him and others. Nice learning what my mill and lathe are capable of
He's a super cool and knowledgeable guy 👊
Haha. How perfect. Abom79. I can't be the only other one who subs to his channel.
nope
Definitely not, I like both!!!!
I do now.
That thing was drawing so much current when he started my lights flickered in my house. And I'm in ohio. 😯
It’s ok they have a homeless man in the back on a bike peddling to generate some electrical power
Wow, 1000 amps. I'd hate to have arc blow start up. You'd be dancing with an electric devil on that one. It would also be interesting to have a stuck rod. Disconnecting from that would be an adventure.
Better prep a guy with an axe ready to chop the leads 🤣 or someone to choke the genny
@@alexanderwlad6689 Turning off the welder would be the quickest and safest way.
I’ve thought about it, and the best way to get rid of a stuck rod is to swing on it like George of the jungle
And people wonder what holds the world together💪
Holy Hot Puddle of Carmel! That puddle was more like a lake! Thank you for your great video and having Adam (his machining channel ABOM79 rocks!)
Adam does some fantastic machine work. I've been watching him now for a couple years.
That is some crazy welding! Adam is a consummate professional and an excellent metal worker. They probably do alot of grind back when it is deployed in the field.
Now you need to do it again. Cut a valley in some 2" plate and fill it.
Seconded. Needs more bevel.
I used to repair the big cast pieces where the anchor chain comes out of the ship. (Ageis destroyers for the United States Navy bath iron works shipyard in Maine). They would ut the cast pieces and sometimes find sand pockets.

OMG two of my favorite guys on the same video this video made my day !
That weld pool was absolutely beautiful to watch.
It’s funny y’all are using this rod today , we have one at school and I was literally thinking about it today and was gonna look up vids on it lol
Abom is always chasing perfection
I’ve been watching a Abom79’s channel for years always great content
You can actually see the drops of metal transferring across the arc!! That was crazy! Thanks for the video!! Haha!
Don’t be disappointed ! you did good you guys just the best !
Abom welding 1000A ..... AWESOM. P.S. You have also fans in Poland. Nice welding.

cool video! love seeing collaborative efforts between two of my favorite channel celebrities! 👍👍👍👍👊👊👊👊
Holy 💩.. What Shade Lens do you use for that? You need a 90# needle gun!
i know red beard is a big guy but abom makes him look like a normal size person haha
ABOM is the man!
I love my Abom79 Videos!
I have burn many many pounds of rod in the past 30 years but I have never seen anything like this
i wonder if the puddle was fluid. what do yall think? was it fluid?
Abom is the man!
That puddle is INSANE
That is one hell of a rod. Nice work guys 🔥💚
It just reminds me star wars movies!!! Pretty impressive, not intended for roller cage build for sure.
Wow! I've ran 1/4" alot but never that big. Pretty cool!
ABOM sized electrode for sure! Very cool! I didn't even know that they made electrodes this big.
Says it's ok for the overhead position too, as long as your filming it!!
@the_metal_surgeon already agreed to be the guinea 🐖
I'm a licensed paramedic I can be on site to provide medical support
Best welding ever.👍👍👍
Something I’ve never seen before! Thanks
Big weld would be proud

Abom size weld for sure!
New sub. Came over from Abom79.
Will be using your videos to get better using my mig flux welder.
Abom79!!! Hell yeahh coool collab!
The best crossover!!
You can stack weld with it. We scarfed big dies that stamped car parts. Then flooded them back up with that rod we also used 1/8 wire and 5/32 wire too flood with it was very interesting.
It’s a great learning experience to watch. It’ll probably be better if it were beveled. Great video

My God it is raining liquid steel. Unbelievable. And that penetration.
Given the size of that rod, it gives a good idea whats going on around the arc with a 3.2mm rod or similar doesnt it. Ie the way the slag transfers across as well as the metal transfer
Have yall tried to dail the amps down i would like to see if the puttle becomes more stable. I was thinking as low as 820amps
You could probably charge people to use that thing just so they can say they ran a thousand amps😂 I'm thinking he went too slow and the slag got out in front of the puddle that's why there was inclusions.

Ship rod. In Welding school our Welding instructor had one to show us.
Clicked just for abom
Abom+Weld!!! Nice one guys.👍👍

You know you can just use 4 x 250a units and wire the outputs together, right?
My biggest rod was 1/2 7018. Welding 3/4 plate corner joint. Had an old 800 amp lincon diesel welder.
3/4 is massive. wow.
If you need to sun bleach a pair of jeans
Largest electrode I've ever used was 1/2" (if I remember right) in welding school. It was for shits and giggles more than anything, but man are those large rods crazy to run
I seen that at shipyards there they have power source able to more than 1000 amp. But today usaly tubewire and powder.
THAT WAS HELLA CRAZY I DIDENT EVEN KNOW THEY MADE THEM THAT BIG LOL!
It would have been interesting to see the difference between reversing the polarity or was this AC welding I wasn't sure it'd be interested in put more of the heat into the plate and see if you got more penetration out of it just curious
Excellent work
How would this work on sheet metal?
It wouldn't be sheet metal for long
What sheet metal? Haha just make sure not to warp it
You could stack the sheet metal and... we’ll the results would be fun.
Hi sir,thank you for your videos, you are a great teacher and I have learned a lot about welding, so, can you make a video for haw to read from engineering drawings of shop steel beams? Thanks.
Thanks lot, unique welding machine.
My grandpa use those welding on submarines in his military days, he said he would spend all day welding on one hatch...
Hi, I see the list of abrasive discs in the video description. I read each of the Amazon pages but I can’t tell which one is the one you raved about “When a diamond breaks it exposes another diamond and keeps going”.
Which disc is it?
I just started stick welding. It’s so much harder than oxy
That's a huge rod my guy lol
the floor is lava!
That is power!
4:58 UV? infrared? both?
Awww Abom needs an Abom sized chipping hammer for that!
That is an abom sized welding rod!
Great video as always learn something new with you guys !!! awesome
GREAT VIDEO on some "Out of the Box" Equipment!👍🤘
that was freaking cool! thanks :-)
Ive always heard but never seen and thanks to you brother ive somewhat fullfilled a dream lol😂😂😂💯💯💯Legendary shit bro 👊
I have one of these rods, but I have no plan to try to use it. They’re not intended for handheld welding. The welds I’ve seen from these sticks look pretty good.
Anything can be intended for handheld welding... if you are brave enough...
That was a great way to explain, my senior year,,,
Imagine going to get ur exhaust repaired and the guy walks out with that. Exhaust would be gone as soon as he touched it lol.
Could you do a bend break strength test or a tensile strength test with the 3/4 inch rod?
Ride the lightning!!!
You should take a wire wheel to the weld surface to see it polished
don't forget to watch your pond
LOL. Not watch your puddle, watch your pond!
Unappreciated
Bend test !!!! Bend test !!!! Let’s see it soon !
