A lot of videos like this used to be produced by Disney, and were essentially high budget productions with experienced film makers. Unheard of today for an instructional video, but you can see the difference it makes.
Fort Hector Do they have a copyright on the general theme of presentation or something? Surprises me that these types of instructional videos aren't more common.
Because the youtube model means the longer a video the more $$ people get so people love to string out a 10 min video. I love content creators who stick to short videos to match my attention span ha.
Back when I was learning welding in school maybe 9 or 10 years ago, our teacher showed us this video saying he never saw a better explanation video for stick welding. One of the first thing he showed us.
Every time I watch a video (especially a tutorial one or a creative one) it makes me wonder what sort of minds would dislike them. I still haven’t figured out. Thanks for the upload
Just tried Arc Welding...the strking of the stick is like the mother of all matches lighting up with a blinding glow and then streaming white hot molten metal into your gap as you gently draw the stylus of the beast along the path,turning it into a river of flowing steel.Pull back too far and the beast will vanish leaving only darkness and silence,until you strike again and unleash the power!ARC welding connects man to the earths awsome force like no other.
+Alex Smith welding is addictive almost to the point where I think it should be outlawed LOL. Ever since I got my first everlast welder I've been itching to practice my welding. I'm not quite sure what it is that makes it so enticing.
I watched 5 others how to videos and this was the 6th and by far the easiest and straight forward explanation of welding and in under 2min and its a bloody 60yr old video.
Wow... who knew a 50 year old video would give the best explanation of welding I have ever seen. And forget bout 3d Illustration, I prefer my welding animations done by Disney. :) That was awesome.
For the FIRST time I finally get to see a GOOD example of how the welder strikes an arc!!! Maybe next time I try I'll be more successful at it not sticking constantly! I only had to go back 70 years!!!
It's concise and to the point. If you wanted to learn that in a school, it'd take weeks to get that bit of knowledge that took 1:51. The information is still relevant to stick welding. Keep posting!
You can learn more about how arc welding works by watching this short video than from days of reading. Succinct and parsimonious. Wish they still made them like this.
and they wonder why or generation is so dumb they don't make videos like this no more. every educational video that explains somethinv was made in the 60s and are hard to find
thats not true most of it is taught in school. its not like they went around teaching this to laymen in the 40s. the only reason why youre seeing this is because you were curious enough to research it. there are plenty of contemporary resources available for you today as well.
How is it that these old classroom videos are more useful than any modern day video demonstration I've been able to find on the internet? The animations make things so much easier to understand and you don't have to listen to some guy rambling in his garage with his granddaddy's Lincoln buzzbox running in the background.
@specialks1953 I think you're right, its the tempo and possibly some of the pitches that made it sound a little like Bob Hope to me. Love these old videos- can't get much clearer explaining the process than that.
I took welding in 2009 in high school. We had some old ass welding school books and equipment. I thought the drawn pictures looked really weird and dated. This video looks exactly how I remember those pictures
i go to tenn. tec and they did not show us this. i really like this video , especiallly the way it shows the flow from the electrode, very informative.
I cut the original brackets off the factory rear and welded them to a rear from a different car. Then I welded the pumpkin inside the rear too! :-) One of the brackets snapped off at the track and the rear was on the springs bouncing all over the place! lol... The good-ol fun days!
The difference between old training videos and modern day training videos is that modern day videos are always secretly trying to sell you something and more focus goes into how to sell a product rather than the point of the video which it to teach.
nice. I assume you welded the axle tubes to the pumpkin? Or are the welds you're talking about structural welds from a tube-frame chassis? Sounds like a great story. I got a few of those myself. :)
well yes and no. for the most part i do use circles,but you can use back an forward ,side to side . U shape C shap etc . each motion has it's advantages over ther other. When i say this i'm speeking from 5 years Exp which by no means makes me a master, just slightly advanced lol . if you have any question feel free to ask i enjoy shaing what i know with others.
Its jan 3rd 2024.. I was searching for how welding actually works.. And finally found the exact video which i needed.. To the sad part its many years old..... Now a days the educational videos are not there only shit videos are there.. Old is gold.
Back in that day, they had a whole team creating the video. A team of experts in each area. You many not like that guy's voice now, but in the day, it was the shit. Expert cameramen, expert animators, expert researchers, expert editors, expert writers. They got paid peanuts but you could LIVE on peanuts back then. Times change. Technology is better and it pushes pricing to that manual labor costs too much. So you don't get as many experts on projects, or as much time to do them.
I can say, with absolutely sincerity and seriousness, I would have paid so much more attention in school if my teachers had all had the ol' timey, Mid-Atlantic English accent this guy employs. I practically feel like I'm a qualified SAW technician, ffs. :D
*OTHER VIDS:* HEY HEY!!! Im Guss "Trapper" Townsend here coming to you from my studio in Arcadia, Los Angeles where I teach welding to the stars such as... *(2 minutes leter)* Im gonna talk to you today about AAARRC WEEELDING... hah, and its gonna be a hoot and a holler of a time. But first, how bout a few words from the guys over at CRAFTSMAN who help make these videos possible. *(2 minutes leter)* Now lets get started with a little bit about my self... I grew up... *(1.5 minutes leter)*.... *(24 second demonstration on welding)*
love that old guy voice! when i hear it on welding vids it makes me thing of a old man with a beard and gray hair whose been doing fabrication since the begining of time!
Its funny because they say "Wear a welding mask when welding so you dont damage your eyes" and there is me who does not wear one and can still see perfectly.... LOGIC
+Dark Star the effect is probably similar to a child who eats tons of candy without brushing their teeth. It takes time for the damage to show, but it is permanent.
+Dark Star wait till you're 40... every person who comes up to me complaining that "welding" deteriorates eye sight we're just like you. But of course it was the arc welding that caused that and not ignorance.
wake up! it's like striking a match, scratch and lift off in an arc,(problem is if u lift off too much u break the arc) tap start can cause the rod to stick especially if the flux is gone... a bare wire will not stick if it is moving, however most EXPERIENCED welders do tap start...have fun!!!
+BumRat455 You must be thinking TIG welding. Even then, you need a welder like an Everlast that has lift start in its circuitry. If you are thinking contamination when you say don't scratch start, you can scratch start off of a piece of copper and transfer the arc to your work to avoid that.
It took an old 1950s tutorial to finally give me the basic of what the process of creating a welding bead looks like.
no surprise to me
I agree completely. I learned a great deal from this short vid.
old is gold
When in highschool we learned this by books. Then we learned to weld by practice.
True haha!
Why don't we have more instructional videos like this now a days? Informative and to the point. Perfection!

MrHepj Because we don’t beat kids anymore
Because people's dad's didn't smoke around them
Because the youtube model means the longer a video the more $$ people get so people love to string out a 10 min video. I love content creators who stick to short videos to match my attention span ha.
The entire first semester of welding class... Under two minutes. Definitely my favorite class of the day!
I really feel I know a lot more about what is happening when I weld with my Everlast now.
Serlok Brixe Modern day classes are pretty gay. Semi useless education beats experience these days.
Back when I was learning welding in school maybe 9 or 10 years ago, our teacher showed us this video saying he never saw a better explanation video for stick welding. One of the first thing he showed us.
Look at how the welder struck the arc. WHY can modern instructors not demonstrate it this simply???
This is the kind of video I would like to make,short and informational. No crap. Feynman voice.
No shitty music either!
There is something very charming about that animation. Why can't we go back to that.
FINALLY I NEEDED THIS!!! Everyone with those fancy cameras that barely show much. An animated drawing is perfect.
The best explanation of Arc welding I've seen..
Every time I watch a video (especially a tutorial one or a creative one) it makes me wonder what sort of minds would dislike them. I still haven’t figured out.
Thanks for the upload

rodrigez gozalo I've tried it. It was a pain in the ass...it was like working in the dark with a lightsaber.
Feels Man haha, exactly!!
A lightsaber that *doesn't emit light until it comes in contact with something*, no less.
But I'm glad OP loved it. It WAS kind of cool to me.
+heh working in the dark with a lightsaber sounds cool tho
+Alex Smith welding is addictive almost to the point where I think it should be outlawed LOL. Ever since I got my first everlast welder I've been itching to practice my welding. I'm not quite sure what it is that makes it so enticing.

Most informative video on what an Arc is. Classic old school never fails. ❤
For the FIRST time I finally get to see a GOOD example of how the welder strikes an arc!!!
Maybe next time I try I'll be more successful at it not sticking constantly!
I only had to go back 70 years!!!
Who is here in Year 2024
Nobody. It's 2026.
greetings from 2057
howdy im from 1946
I’m here to save my career
You must be the person who leaves all these dumbass who’s here comments on every video.
Great demo ! I think the voice is that narrator of the WW2 documentaries. It is a meticulous explanation of every step of the process.
Why is it that these old 50s videos are the best at explaining things?
It's concise and to the point.
If you wanted to learn that in a school, it'd take weeks to get that bit of knowledge that took 1:51.

林朗新 PHLY even if their is but they don't go in depth like this right?
Oct 30 birthday .Sir.even if there are new tutorial videos like this one.the new generation have no enough willingness to watch and learn.
Dude, you're watching this on friggin youtube. Our generation says "you're welcome".
I think what Oscar maybe trying to say .... ~ where is the UA-cam channel for these videos ..... 🤪
more informational than other videos I've watched
unbiased and informative, straight to the point. unlike today's you-tube movie stars with opinions and expensive welding toys..
And not one mention of cis genders, racism, misogyny or the patriarchy! THAT is probably who all the down voters are!

These older videos are always better at explaining things than anything else
So satisfying to witness this great old school video 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
best video ive seen for welding yet, go's in depth to teach u the basics but not to complex that u get lost, thumbs up this was fucking excellent
-Yes... because they were the masters that invented the technology that we use still to this day. What better teacher...
The narrator of these old videos always has the same voice. But there's no denying it's an epic one.
This finally answered my doubts about how things work
where can I find the full version??
I just watched this thanks to it this new truck bed looks amazing now I can mig and stick weld
@specialks1953 I think you're right, its the tempo and possibly some of the pitches that made it sound a little like Bob Hope to me. Love these old videos- can't get much clearer explaining the process than that.
this is what i call quality teaching not what it is today
wow I learned more in 1 min than 1 week of welding class doing Stick.
Been welding since 1974 and watching how to weld videos.
Hehe !
Never know....i might learn something...?
I think that's Thomas Edison talking. Good basic info. Need more of these on how to weld.
best video EVER
its really a gr8 video regarding the basic of welding.thnks a lot
Thank you
that's one of the best explanations/animations i have ever seen. most are vague and not very helpful.
I took welding in 2009 in high school. We had some old ass welding school books and equipment. I thought the drawn pictures looked really weird and dated. This video looks exactly how I remember those pictures
Finally sensible explained science
i go to tenn. tec and they did not show us this. i really like this video , especiallly the way it shows the flow from the electrode, very informative.

Narrator sounded like Bob Hope. Great video, old but good!
This video is a masterpiece
helped a little, i fell asleep during the welding demonstration at school and i have to weld a ton of stuff by friday or i fail
shoved this to my teacher he acctually didn't give me a demark for being on youtube in class
Awesome animations mate
that disney animation is quite satisfying.
Well, this is what I was watching in my welding class just a few years ago.
So it still is taught, sort of.
Thank you!, keep searching for the 'equation' that explains everything in the Universe ;)
We need to bring this voice back
Heyyyy...
...who's HE calling a Slag...
goota love thees old vids
Damn cool video
Great narration
Wonder if the man is alive?
Cheers
Thx for posting bud👍🐾🐯😎
Can someone please explain the annealing effect and what they are trying to say about it? Or are they simply just stating it happens?
It's not that we sacrificed manufacturing - we took on the mindset of quantity over quality. And people question why our economy is bad..
Great video.
nice. I assume you welded the axle tubes to the pumpkin? Or are the welds you're talking about structural welds from a tube-frame chassis?
Sounds like a great story. I got a few of those myself. :)
How do you mean? I'd guess that you mean descriptions were more thorough in the past, and today it's more infotainment, but I might be wrong?
I thought these videos ended with a man going home and slapping his wife for not having dinner ready.
yes exactly... if u have more videos from the past plz share them
well yes and no. for the most part i do use circles,but you can use back an forward ,side to side . U shape C shap etc . each motion has it's advantages over ther other. When i say this i'm speeking from 5 years Exp which by no means makes me a master, just slightly advanced lol . if you have any question feel free to ask i enjoy shaing what i know with others.
I’m a proud UA-cam welder
AWESOME VIDEO!

@Krautattack0311 yes, the "1" indicates that the rod is an all position rod

nah this voice is legendary
Wish I had this 15 years ago when my repeat welds broke at the race track ripping the differential out of my race car :-)
I can say, with absolutely sincerity and seriousness, I would have paid so much more attention in school if my teachers had all had the ol' timey, Mid-Atlantic English accent this guy employs. I practically feel like I'm a qualified SAW technician, ffs. :D
excellent video..!
All school is better than new school but you’re always being taught something better and learning something new. nice video real nice wow 👍
very informative good job
*OTHER VIDS:* HEY HEY!!! Im Guss "Trapper" Townsend here coming to you from my studio in Arcadia, Los Angeles where I teach welding to the stars such as... *(2 minutes leter)* Im gonna talk to you today about AAARRC WEEELDING... hah, and its gonna be a hoot and a holler of a time.

I grew up... *(1.5 minutes leter)*.... *(24 second demonstration on welding)*
i totaly agree with you there...
bloody good training vid
It seems that nowadays It doesn't matter How It Works, only that It Works and do It this way.
love that old guy voice! when i hear it on welding vids it makes me thing of a old man with a beard and gray hair whose been doing fabrication since the begining of time!
Where can we find the whole video ?
very informative.
This looks like one of fallout or bioshock cut scenes when you're about to learn a new ability 😂
we use to be a country focused on manufacturing. now every piece of media is only about advertising and appeal
very good video
Sad but so true!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks
Nice explanation but 6500 degrees is way off. It only takes about 1700 to turn steel multin
hi sir after weld put water to cool what happen? tnx very nice vids
+albert pagliawan microscopic cracks
that was actually helpful, even though it was from the freaking 50's
very cool
please add complete video thanx
love the cartoon example
Solid.
Dont forget to use Eye protection while watching
Its funny because they say "Wear a welding mask when welding so you dont damage your eyes" and there is me who does not wear one and can still see perfectly.... LOGIC
Well...you're an idiot.
ByteMe Yeah. I know.
+Dark Star the effect is probably similar to a child who eats tons of candy without brushing their teeth. It takes time for the damage to show, but it is permanent.
My mother's brother stared at the light when someone was welding (he was young) and his eyes were in pain for a while.
+Dark Star wait till you're 40... every person who comes up to me complaining that "welding" deteriorates eye sight we're just like you. But of course it was the arc welding that caused that and not ignorance.
Just letting you all know, NEVER TAP START OR SCRATCH START! EVER!!!!!! Proper way is to touch start nice n slowly
wake up! it's like striking a match, scratch and lift off in an arc,(problem is if u lift off too much u break the arc) tap start can cause the rod to stick especially if the flux is gone... a bare wire will not stick if it is moving, however most EXPERIENCED welders do tap start...have fun!!!
+BumRat455 why not? well this is a first, you do know the vid above is SMAW right?
+BumRat455 You must be thinking TIG welding. Even then, you need a welder like an Everlast that has lift start in its circuitry. If you are thinking contamination when you say don't scratch start, you can scratch start off of a piece of copper and transfer the arc to your work to avoid that.
I really miss this kind of Narrator's voice.... its something different...
