- Employers look for specific skills in potential candidates. One of the main is "being able to read welding symbols". Jason developed a lecture that would teach students how to interpret welding symbols. The AWS has 2 documents that he highly recommend purchasing for your library. The first one is AWS A2.4 Standard, Brazing, and Nondestructive Examination. The next one is AWS A3.0 Standard Terms and Definitions.

hey I'm in welding school right now, my Welding Symbols midterm is tomorrow so wish me luck n thanks for this video i appreciate it. definitely was a good overview n recap in the basics eunuch is what i needed. i even learned i cpl things that our teacher n our material didn't cover, at least not that i remember. so thanks!
oh and I'm subscribed now! look forward to checking out more of your videos.
glass4breakfast thanks for watching man. Good luck.
OUTSTANDING! Simply outstanding! I learned more from this 20 minute video on weld symbols than I did in a year in my welding degree.
Frank Bibby stay tuned, there’s more coming. Thanks for watching.
Haha true
right!? this guy woulda been a way better teacher than mine. this guy is awesome will subscribe for sure
You didn't focus then simple as that
U had a horrible teacher
First guy in 15 years of youtube welding who explains it in details ! thumbs up !
ZILA thank you sir. We have more coming your way.
@@GodslilRedneck23 now I need to step up my game... I am slacking on video production. I like welding videos with "no sparks" .... I have some on aluminum .... those are usually very informative. you did a GREAT job. seriously ! keep up the good work. thanks for the reply
ZILA thanks man. I’ll have to check out some of your videos. Gotta keep learning.
@@GodslilRedneck23 the day you stop learning is the day you die. (physically or mentally) depends on what kind of guy you are .... I ALWAYS enjoy learning and there is a lot to be learned foremother people and just life in general.
In some situations there is no right or wrong - often there is a a few solutions and some have more positives than others but not one solution is perfect they all have their pros and cons - and the tricky part is to pick the one that works best for you in the situation that you are in ...
I mean welding symboled ons are out and dry, but when it comes to repairing things or building things and you don't have a fully spec'd welding procedure .... and you have lead way .... that is when your job becomes interesting
There are a few good welding guys out there in the welding community .... and when you or I watch all of them and piece stuff together then it expands the horizon ....
One guy is really good at tig one at mig one at stick, one guy does steel, the next aluminum the others stainless or some other exotic stuff ... one guy does pipe one guy structural .... I think I can learn a little from everyone .... looking at your tube hurricane you seem a little more like the "get it done" type off welder than the "instagram" type of welder ..... so am I ....lol. often I catch some comments in that regard but then again - it puts food on my table and feeds my family ... a lot of my customers just want it done (reasonable well) and move on with life ... they dont need instagram welds on their scrapyard equipment they need it operational ... and some guys get it and others feel the need to "teach" me in the comments ... oh well .....LOL. that is the freedom of the internet
Thanks for making these videos
@@GodslilRedneck23just curious have you ever had a spark sneak up under your helmet and catch your beard on fire ?
I'm at hohokus school of trade in Patterson NJ. The instructor in class has referenced this channel as well as shown several of your videos. Just wanted to tell you, as if you didn't already know, that your really helping out people new to the trade with valuable advice for many different techniques as well as valuable accurate information. We all know that the internet/youtube can be a wildly misleading source of info at times if you don't already have a basic knowledge and the ability to verify the source where the information is coming from. Thank you.
I never went to school for welding or any shop stuff at all. Now working at a weld shop I really want to move up from being a grinder and your videos are allowing me to learn what the guys at work are doing and talking about. This is helping me live a better life because im finally grasping the work. Thank you somuch you really have no idea what this means to me!
I'm a structural engineer with 10+ yrs of experience. They do a great job of teaching engineering science in school and a real S*** job of teaching general application. This video is a better description of basic welding than I ever received from any of my mentors in my early years of training. Well done!
Yep, I am showing this to all my new grad engineers.
For those who have commented about the arrow side-other side debacle. Yes he did get it messed up starting about 13:40 mark. The point of that section was about adding the info to the welding symbol. In that first drawing example at 13:40, he did draw the arrow to that "top" edge, so that should have been the arrow side, then he drew the weld on the other side. He was wrong to do that. And continued to be wrong in those following examples. I did not go thru all the comments to see if he ever corrected it via a reply. And in some other examples, the arrow never touches a line. The welding symbol in the drawing should always be attached to the line anywhere the weld is to occur. He might have missed that drafting standards and procedures class.
@@user-kn6mp6oq2l thanks for the clarification I was getting confused
I'm just starting my welding education and that was extremely clear, well explained and easy to understand! Sincerely appreciate your videos!
Throckmorton thanks man. Stay tuned, we’ve got more to come.
Hey man I’m just watching this video cause I started welding at my trade school! It feels like a lot at first but I just feel like I’m putting too much on myself and I need to pace myself. I’m just hoping everything is coming together and this video made it much clearer. I was wondering if u had any advice for a rookie like myself? Also my teacher said the books we have to read at home are to reference cause everything is gonna be hands on and that’s the main way we are gonna learn he said but also did u have advice on book work on how to study cause I can’t learn as much just from reading lengths and other stuff just from reading I like more hands on learning??
Hey did you pass @Throckmorton.
Seriously since I started watching you videos and following your class , improvement in welding technique and welding language power located me...
I'm a steel structural welder in Hong Kong..
I would like to use this moment to say thank you. You've really change my personality in the welding industry. I wished I had the opportunity to follow you long time ago...pls do not relent in sharing the skillful ideas and welding techniques to the world...I say thanks you so much....I'm one of the best fans you have....
at 14:21 the 2-6 1/4" fillet welds you are drawing are on the Other side, but the weld symbol calls for the 2-6 1/4" fillet welds to be on the Arrow side.
I think that was a test :) (?)
i agree to you sir. i was a little bit confuse.
After welding the smart-arse welder just turned his work through 180 degrees and told the inspector where to go :)
He made a mistake and put it on the wrong side...I'm like wtf...I thought I wasn't getting it.
I typically don't have to read weld prints, i make my own usually. But this is great info for new guys and gals getting into welding.
True in field when you see it it is usually obvious but I still like knowledge

ANY SYMBOLS OF WELDINGS IS APPROVER BY CITY ENGRS,INPECTORS IF WELD IS NOT STRONG TO HOLD MATERIALS,TOU CAN RECOMMEND IF YOU A SUPERVISOR OR FOREMAN WITH SO MUCH EXPERIENCED IN FABRICATIONS AND WELDINGS SKILLS EXPERIENCED
@@edgardocortez4433 I am not a CWI. Not yet, anyways. But I work with 3 other CWI's, and only one of them can weld as good as me. The other 2 cant weld at all. They are all book and been counters.
@Gian Grimaldi I am not a CWI. But I work with 3 of them. Only one of them can weld. The other 2 are just book and bean counters.
Just came here to thank you, took ICC Welding Inspector exam, drawing part, and thanks to your drawing videos I could pass it at the first try... Very simple and well explained content... Keep it up👍🏼
This is so beautifully simple and comprehensive. I'm taking my Level 1 CWB later today and this is some fantastic last-minute study material. Wish I had started with this. Would have saved a lot of confusion.
I went to welding school for 6 months, and quit half way through for a girl. (Didn't last)
Now, almost 6 years later, I'm quitting truck driving and getting a chance to be a welder again (even though it's MIG) and your videos are really helping me out.
I can run beads, I never lost that talent, it's like riding a bike, but the terminology and basically everything else I have to relearn. Thnx for making these.
You’re perfect, I’m an engineer and actually your way of explaining is outstanding, very simple, and illustrating...
Keep it up, sir.
Loved what you’re doing..
This is a perfect video for an apprentice starting out. We teach this to our 1st years and it's on the Red Seal exam.
JP Sureau when I taught classes, we’d start covering symbols day one. They would get a new symbol for each joint configuration and we would build from there.
@@GodslilRedneck23 Agreed Brother. That's what we do. Prepare the next generation.
JP Sureau my goal is to help leave the industry in a better place then when I found it.
@@GodslilRedneck23 Again, agreed Brother.
@@tatooguy65 How come you have different last names?
This is awesome! I’m new to welding and the way you have explained the symbols in this video makes it really simple to understand them 👍
Paul Travis thanks man, glad we could help.
I love structural welding. This man knows what he is talking about.
In Fabrication though.... you will run into situations that the prints do not match what makes sense. Simply ask if the print is correct before burning. Cover your ass. Engineers often get things wrong. Use your common sense.
DarkForce X a daily thing at my shop
DarkForce X and on the 8th day God created the RFI (request for information) 😂 if you look on the prints, the engineers number should be there. I used to call for written clarification all the time if I knew something was wrong. I love structural welding too 🤘🔥
Wroger Wroger always.
You are so right. As a newly certified CWI, I used to run through that all the time and was making me very nervous. Now, I just use my best judment possible.😊
EVERYTIME YOU MUST CHECK THE EI DRAWINGS AND FABRICATIONS DRAWING STRUCTURAL DESIGN TO BE SURE ITS CORRECT BEFORE FABRICATION START INFORM ENGRS OR DETAILER IF YOU ARE AUTHORIZE TO TALK ..AND ASK QUESTIONS ..
I appreciate your videos, man I just passed a test to get my new job. I watched three videos the night before and took notes and passed the test. I thank you much
As an engineer with little welding drawing experience, this is helpful. I actually tried to make some prints for a weldment last week... luckily it ended up being converted to a screwed assembly (for technical reasons), as I had things completely jacked up (didn't use the right symbols or the like). Good to know this in case I ever have to make welding prints for real.
Side note- I do work with metric a lot (Japanese auto exhaust/body shell OEM for Toyota)... I haven't seen them (we usually never do), but I'm sure it would give the local welding shops fits if they were handed equipment drawings to recreate that were all in Japanese with metric :D. Equipment wise. we're a metric company, for everything except pipe threads, floor anchors, and MIG wire. Makes working with non-metric suppliers "interesting".
Typically CAD programs will let you specific what you want (e.g size on this side, type in the other side) and then auto generate the weld symbol
Your videos make me want to try my hand at welding again! I left the industry 22 years ago.
Thad Campbell come on back. We need all the hands we can get to teach the up and comers.
Thank you for this video! I'm a 4th year sheet metal apprentice and I'm taking a welding test soon and really needed a visual aid to help me put all of my print out material into perspective. You helped me and others in my class more than you know. Good job bro!
CHARLESofPUNK! Glad to hear man. Thanks for watching. Good luck on your test. Make sure to check out episode 2. It’s out right now.
4 years as an apprentice?! Fk that
Great video. I just started Working Drawings 2 and we are CADD'ing out welding symbols. You make these hieroglyphics easier to understand.
Great refresher course! I want to teach tig welding mainly, but other welding as well. At 45 I went and took a welding test today with flux core nr-232 wire and forgot about the 1 inch stick out on the wire and I had the volts up too high 105, when volts should of been around 25 with 3/8 metal thickness. The blueprints were more technical than I recall, lol. You are a great teacher! It gets very busy in blueprints , looking like a dam Maze!! Appreciate the lessons.
Welding is a growing wealth of knowledge and skill set. There is many intermittent learning skills that you evolve to while advancing your career. That’s why I never degrade or look down on a beginner in the field,because one day I was in his shoes and my welding skills got better over time. You evolve over time into becoming an experienced welder.
I been approved for the welding school I was Interested in! Now I’m getting familiar with blue print reading. Great UA-cam channel.
can't tell y'all how much I love this channel
when i was at Boeing , Wichita. a lot of welders was confused about how to count the length of the weld. you did a good job showing that
Moe Shouse thanks man. I appreciate the feedback.
Excellence in welding instruction brother. May the Lord continue to bless your game.
Thank you very much for this video. I'm an Engineer who almost never designs welded parts, and if I ever learned the symbology in college (I'm 99% sure I never did) then I've forgotten it by now.
You are great teacher... I v been welding 5 years and never had to use a weld symbol. But I’m glad I found this video
ua-cam.com/video/OntmNIvjqqM/v-deo.html
16:30. Best piece of advice so far.
Awesome refresher guys thanx for info👍👍👍👍👍👍 and if I may say to any beginners reading this, study the symbols and what the information means learn it memorize it, if you make a mistake on this it could cost u a job, as I forgot that one side indicated weld size and the other indicated length... Cost me a job interview even though my weld test was flawless and my weld did not break.
Excellent!! Good job Red Beard, by far the best welding symbol lecture I ever had 👍
Juan Lagarde thanks. Hopefully you were able to learn something new.
Great job man... we know that it is really difficult to explain welding in a simple and smooth way... welldone
im a visual learner and this is very well explained i feel confident enough to read fillet weld symbols
I have an associates in mechanical drafting and design. I didn't do so well in my fasteners class. I didn't understand the weldments symbols that well. This video was pretty useful. Thanks.
I just took my D1.1 exam yesterday and passed 😄
First time i see symbols for welding projects!!! I cant wait to learn more about it!!! Thanks for sharing!!!👍🏼😎🇵🇷
Luis otero no problem man, thanks for watching.
Try to be a member of AWS for free I think.
Amazing 👏!!! Good stuff I'm getting ready for my cwi test and this channel its gold, keep up the good work guy's
This is going to be a great series. Thanks for starting this one.
BambulanceMan you’re welcome sir.
Lol, im currently in class watching this video
Same hahah!
Your plan view arrow-side is opposite... 14:19 - 16:20
Mattio, Thankyou, I thought i was going crazy there, he had it backwards.
@@scottcarr3264 i have aspergers, and i'm in Engineering... i notice a lot of things.
@@mattio79 that was making me twitch as well...
mattio79 thank you, just came to the comments to make sure I wasn’t wrong. Great video though for people like me starting the QC world.
Ha, Ya. I was like I thought I had this but now I'm lost LOL
In your 3/8ths T fillet weld equation, you say both sides mean the same thing? If that were true wouldn't the symbol on the left be on the bottom?
I hope he would have the integrity to openly correct that💯.
Came for this exact comment
I don't even weld (yet) and have no plans to get into welding as a trade. But I really enjoy this info and am looking forward to part 2!!
Jeremy Hamaker stay tuned. It’ll be here before you know it.
First lesson Ive learned about welding symbols and it was very easy to follow along thank you so much for the teaching :)
Thank you so much please continue with these technical viseos they are so important, I recently learned how to weld and got qualified but they didn't teach us technical drawing or anything just the basics.
Ionut TH will do man. Thanks for the support.
Thanks for taking the time and making this video. Very informative and simple to understand.
Thank you for this EXCELLENT presentation. Great job!!!
These videos are absolutely awesome extremely helpful much appreciated by the universe
Thanks for your time bud, I appreciate your knowledge
Keep em coming.. we weldin' pupils want to learn.
Mr Wolf good to hear.
At 12:24 you got me for a moment. I thought it was going to go across the other way, not diagonal, but I see that the reason for me being wrong there is because the middle piece was one whole piece. So that was a nice lesson in itself right there.
Dude, I really appreciate your availability to share you knowledge. And also, I am very grateful because your pronounce is so clear due to English is not my first language.
Thanks a lot, friend!
Best regards.
Thanks for this video I'm in school and reading it I'm a book and seeing this video truthfully this video is more valuable than my $200 book. Its helped alot thank you
Question - At 13:15 you put the 3/8 on the other side but is drawn on the arrow side. I was wondering if that was right or something else.
Brah I can't wait the head back to my class on Monday I learned alot.wow!
Great video, the only thing that might help even more than you have within this video would be that, when you draw 2 pieces of steel you use different colors. So that when you change views you can keep the visual with the same colors from steel to steel. For example, the flat piece of steel could be blue and the vertical piece could be red. Change views and carry the colors through so some of the less visual can keep up. Thanks!
Perfect way of explaining this for me. Thanks!
Excellent informative video, easy to understand and short. Thank you!
These have always intimidated me so much, I just have a horrible time understanding them. Thanks for the breakdown, gonna make use of this soon
Good video for a new learner like me, thanks fella!.
Simple to understand and very helpful. Thanx
Thanx for your welding symbols classes . its so awesome n clear to understand , this help alot in the welding industry .Because welding industry moves on drawings , measurements and symbols. this has been agreat class . Thanx for yo time Bro.
