Hi Jodi, you're the most versatile welding instructor on welding techniques .I'm a licensed structural welder. Im now getting started with tig welding. All your videos are awesomely great. Thanks for sharing your time and experience with the welding society. I'm Andrew.
Jody - I’ve been welding for 28 years but I learn so much from your videos. Thank you 🙏🏼. I try and give back by buying from your shop, but it’s not enough !
I have learned so much from you. I was never super comfortable with TIG, but now I watch one of your videos and then go practice and every day I get a bit less apprehensive. My biggest hurdles are keeping a steady hand and maintaining torch/tungsten distance and feeding filler. Today's video, right about when you showed it, was like you heard me ask, "but how do you feed filler?" Thank you Jody!
Watched many of your videos, but don't recall you circling the arch, waiting for the cleaning action to take effect. I've been rushing it, and you just " turned the light on"! Can't wait to try that technique. Thanks Jodi
Thank you AGAIN Jody!👍 Bought a lot of your gas lens kits, that Fantastic Square and the always COOL TIG FINGER. You’ve improved my welding, and my profits! Again I say THANKS!!!😇
@@weldingtipsandtricks Howdy Mr Jody. I have a question about a possible product but wasn't sure how to directly contact you. I use your tig finger but i wonder would it be possible to make a glove out of the same material? Kind of like a liner glove.
I appreciate you equipping me with your knowledge and experience. All the little things you demonstrate really motivate me to practice and do better. Long time viewer, learning something new every time. Thanks again and again.
Thanks Jody, always love learning something from you and your videos! It is really neat to see the cleaning action at work prior to starting your bead! Be blessed my friend!!!
I've done this exercise with small coupons, nam near used a whole 200cu/ft bottle of Argon. I haven't had the opportunity to exercise my skills yet though!
Jody, yours is the best welding instruction on the tube! I have a ? about cleanliness. How do you manage to keep your gloves clean? Mine get dirty within a few days, just picking up a piece of steel, leaning on my welding table, etc. I can't seem to remember to take them off when I need to pick something up. I clean my filler material and than handle it with dirty gloves, seems kinda ridiculous.
Always thankful for your shared knowledge. Wanted to see if you can test the limits of 6010 rod on this machine? Like running a 5/32 6010 to see how it performs...thank you.
Wraping the tig finger around the torch handle 😂. Did you hope to melt the torch in your hand? Tig Finger is awsome! Thanks for the videos Jody. Greetings from Germany
Your right about the build ups, ya think you have enough and I say to myself ahh I better weld one more layer so it cleans up. I do a lot of heavy build ups at my day job and always put extra on cause when it comes back from the machine shop and its needs more weld a guy feels bad lol..
You mentioned 4047 wets out better, with less porosity, so why not use it all the time in place of 4043, at least for home around the garage type stuff?
I tig weld aluminum, but Im interested in the latest non-flux, low temp aluminum "welding" with a propane torch...and no it's not flux brazing or soldering. No one seems to be honest or clear about what makes these non flux aluminum rods able to melt at low temp (730°F). They're showing this stuff to be crazy strong considering it just looks like solder.
if you mig tack any type of steel for speed and then tig weld your assembley, when you go over the mig tacks with tig you sometimes get porosity in the weld, does any one have a clue why this happens, great channel I am restoring an old Daimler v8 and I have a lot of welding to carry out
Again another great video. Ordered another stubby lens kit for a few replacement items and i agree fully wedge collets are the only way to go. I'm running an old Miller Syncrowave 500 and the Flexloc 250 water cooled torch and love it. I still have to let the water cool down several times a day but it's hands down the best torch for me. I build and restore steam locomotives and traction engines of all sizes and have melted the end off of several air cooled torches. In the middle of a scale locomotive boiler for a hobbyist and really enjoy the effort and quality you give. Ever get a chance to do a video about using the older transformer machines come to Texas and show me how to get the best results from my dinosaur. I keep saying when it quits I'll get a newer inverter machine but it looks like it will outlast me.
Thank you for the vid I just got a job in Aerospace and I damage or mess up’s from CNC machines. And I really need help of info like this and at the shop we have an old transformer machine miller syncro wave 351.
Hey bud.. can you set is up to purchase a durable standard sized dishwasher safe weld monger coffee cup?....i sure want you in my collection...thanks for another great video.
Could you walk the arc across the whole part to allow the cleaning action to cook the junk from the whole part before starting? Sound strange but I wondered if it would move it out of the path of the bead.
Excellent video as always. I have a question though. What are your thoughts on peaning the welds with either a hammer, or hammer and punch or an air hammer. I work in the auto racing industry so the blocks and heads that need repaired are oil soaked at temp but they started as 6013 forged parts. Does that peaning of the weld repair help to I guess up the density of of the area that was replaced with weld. Essentially hand forgoing the weld repair to match the base material
Nice video. Looked at the price of the machine. I thought it was just an Mp210 with AC. If you get porosity can you just grind it out and go over same spot on aluminum?
Jodi I have a question. Bought a $4000 dollar welder Oxford Tigmaker 330 and was doing lots of beginner short 1 inch test welds for 2 hours using a Clarke auto darkening helmet. I found the next day my eyes hurt really bad and then my head ached all over. Intense. I then waited 2 weeks and tried a brand new ESAB Sentinel helmet. Damn if the very same thing did not happen the day after. So and after checking the shade was 13 for the auto darkening which it should have been at 200 amps, I then went to my garage and whilst using my old Clarke mig to weld up a classic car, next day again the same rubbish. From the mig I have used for years with the new helmet from ESAB. Blurred vision the works. So I have gone out and bought ski goggle design gas welding goggles with the intent of wearing inside my shade 5 sunnies. That would be the sunnies, then the gas tint glass and then the sentinel auto darkening on shade 13. Some serious tinting. So have you ever suffered from similar symptoms? if not ever heard anyone else having done so? Im furious because I have mig welded for years and it seems that even the mig welding on low amps is causing the sickness too.
I think he does this to show you do not need a industrial welder to do this kind off job. I own a 200 Amp everlast because here in Belgium it cost a lot to get a industrial electrical power connection.
@@tomwagemans1872 really? He was holding the torch with the tig finger... He was cooking that torch; not to mention the fact that with the miller he could avoid to preheat and get the job done faster. I can see your point, if you dont have an industrial machine you use what you have, but if you have, why not use it?😅🤷🏻♂️
My old instructor actually used a lot of these videos to show us the right way to do it. Never stopped watching after that
The best welding shows on the web. Love watching. Learning tons! Thank you
Been welding 30 plus years including TIG on aluminum and I learned something new today. Best description of cleaning action and heat I have seen.
Jody, your TIG videos are always educational. Still padding beads trying desperately to be as consistent as you.

I've never actually tried welding aluminum with my powertig. Jody sure does make it look easy.

I just bought one of these esab machines. Seeing you use one makes me feel more comfortable with my purchase.
I am still waiting for esab to release it in Australia.
I appreciate you equipping me with your knowledge and experience. All the little things you demonstrate really motivate me to practice and do better. Long time viewer, learning something new every time. Thanks again and again.
Just got a new TIG, havent used one for a long time and got a bit of filler work to do, all this information is a great help, Thanks for sharing
Great tips mate, I need that for today. I have to weld a cast iron chair, I’m going to test the extra cleaning passes to see the difference. Thanks
This is how I learned to weld over 20 years ago.
Thanks Jody, always love learning something from you and your videos! It is really neat to see the cleaning action at work prior to starting your bead! Be blessed my friend!!!
Really nice video Jody! Love seeing you test new machines!
I've done this exercise with small coupons, nam near used a whole 200cu/ft bottle of Argon. I haven't had the opportunity to exercise my skills yet though!
I only recently started to feed the wire. I use my thumb or thumb and index finger. Took me a while, but I got it.
Excellent shots of that cleaning action. Learned a lot, thank you for these great videos.
Even tho I do stuff like this all the time I still like seeing your insight into it always some small detail for me to learn 👍
Amazing. Learned a lot from this man.🤟
Of course I hit the like button! Who wouldn't?
Can you make a video on spool gun does and don't and trouble shooting the weld shielding gas flow rate. Basically how to dial one in.

Ulises Gonzalez I second that motion
Always learning. Thank you.
I'm from Brazil and I really like your videos, it's a shame not having a translation
Best welder of the world...👍👏
I have always wanted a TIG Welder .. I will have to refer back to these videos if I get one
i am 1-6g welder see that your video s i am veery happy, that's may Cantry Bangladesh Dhaka.
Was thinking about the 205 or 220 for my side business...
I hope some day I have that machine
Lots of good tips!! I can't wait to try a few new ones I just picked up... thanks Jody!!

Would you cover filler metal selection for aluminum a little more. Trying to learn more about tig welding aluminum

Can you do a video on building up a really dirty casting? We do them at work and porosity is an ongoing battle.

I love the aluminum drill
The difference between a welder and a machinist is; a welder can fix his mistakes!
Thanks Jody! You rock sir!
When is too hot and you must take a break on an air cooled torch ?
great lesson and video, thanks
Very informative Thank you so much.
Is it as easy to see that cleaning action under the hood as it is on video?
Thanks for the awesome video Jody as always you the man 👊🏻
Great video, Jody!
Amanzing bro jody gracias
What a your recommendation for the best affordable tig machine?
Great video, what’s your thoughts on the machine?
Great Video Jody, question , what makes of tig torches will your tig gas lens kits fit?
Welders are far superior to machinist. All that button pushing, door closing, and clamp tighting takes skill!
Yep, tig finger. Better than that dang fangled banana hammock that just hit the streets ha. Great video Jody.
let it do its thing.😂Looks kinda cold sometimes.But thats your welding way..Helium would be nice..
Jodi, what camera do you use? Maybe consider affiliate offers from the camera sales?:)
Thank you for video!
Thanks Jody
I love your skills! You're amazing, thank you so much 😉
Hi Man
Can you show how welding SMO ,puls weld?
Great video 👍👍
What type and size of tungsten?
I cant find a wedge collet for my no20 torch on your shop? Please help
Do you do the stacking exercise on steel also?
Jody, I know you have answered this before but I can't remember what you said. Where did you find that extra wide combination square?

Nice 1, but this esab looks a bit underpowered for this job: why not using your miller 350 with your watercooler?🤔
I think he does this to show you do not need a industrial welder to do this kind off job. I own a 200 Amp everlast because here in Belgium it cost a lot to get a industrial electrical power connection.

What is a good multiprocess welding machine that will also run a 6010
The one in the video is a good choice.
Practice Practice practice!
I am from Jordan and I work in the field of pipe welding. Can I work with you
Thank you!
Great stuff!
Good Mr
great video, thanks máster 👍👌
WWJW? What will Jody Weld??
Will you get a job for a welder in your city ...
I am India country
Why would you ask for a job in the youtube comments of a video? Makes no sense to me.
@@josephgleespen4948 It's a common thing to see from Indians. I don't know what's up with that.
Quiero ver tipos de pistolas de tig
wonderful
Aluminum 1100 can welding?
I have problem welding aluminum.
I don't know exactly what the problem is, maybe it's argon or a filler wire or a material.
I'm a newbie, just try.
Machinist "my job is critical with 15ths tolernce"
Welder "let me fix your parts you ruined by 100ths" sport
Nice ❤❤
