Youn are one of the great teachers and one of the reasons I started learning tig welding . Beautiful work! I just received my stuby kit and tig fingers . Definitely can stay in the weld longer and keep a close arc. Thanks Jody for your insights!
Best welding channel on UA-cam hands down!! No one else is evening close!!!
I agree. Hes the best, he's a humble man enjoying what he does. He is a blessing to the welding community.
Couldn’t agree more. I learned to weld from this channel and now have a great tig welding job for 2 years thanks to Jody.
I learned to weld watching his videos 10 years ago.
Nice bit of work there, Jody! I love the way you work together with all the Pro builders and fabricators, and advance the quality of everybodies work, while showcasing and promoting all the great welders in the business.
LETS ERADICATE BAD WELDING FOREVER!
Great production there too mate, the quality of your videos gets better every time. 👌🏽
Thank jebus i was going through withdrawals..i took your advice and switched to 2% lanthanated tungstens and wow what a difference..keep the great vids coming it keeps my sanity in check and i learn something every single time..cheers from a great full aussie...
Nice to see someone actually double passing chassis work. So many guys put out some beautiful looking single pass welds but leaving a lot on the table as far as safety
If a single pass weld is stronger than the base material that is all you need. More welding and a larger heat effected zone usually makes the failure point just outside of the shielding gas area.
You can say my weld didn't fail but that weld may have made the tubing fail.
Also all 4130 is not the same. It's the same mix but the heat and temper can change it drastically
@@timothydillon6421 with 4130 the weld or filler material is much softer typically to dilution the base material to inhibit embrittlement along with the welding style/process. Not to equal or strengthen the base material. That is done with the second pass or cap. The typical filler being ER70s-2 when welding structural 4130 in motor sports. All top fuel funny car stuff is double welded. Typically in the drag racing scene it’s single pass for the stacked dime look not integrity. As far as the HAZ I dont buy into that much at all. I believe the process of heating and slow rate of cooling is more important even if it creates a larger HAZ. Especially working around aircraft restoration years ago. Guys gas welding 4130 that looked like butt crack. Yet it passed inspection. It actually was softer when believed it would be hardened and brittle. The fact some of the aircraft was 50-60 years old and have been through a war and service stands to prove the process was correct. Yes you are correct not all materials are equal. Substantiating the need for a second pass or cap. That or switch to Docol R8 any dummy can weld that stuff.
Thanks... you’re really getting the hang of this whole TIG thing... 😂
Just bought a two pack of your tig fingers. So now my welds will look like that too, right?
😇
Seriously, appreciate the instruction.
All these years and I’m still watching your channel. Thanks for the years and years of great content.
I remember when I could lay beads like that,,,, then I got old and shaky and not let us forget half blind. Great job Jody 👏 always enjoy your videos.
You know, I feel like if somebody sits down and watches every single episode of this channel at the end they should just give you your welding certification!!
You probly will have learned a lot more than you would in a class!!👍
Just started Tig welding today for the first time in school. Much more difficult than burning 7018 rods and mig welding. You make it look easy!
Years later I still see myself coming back to some of these videos... I'm in the aerospace area and I love it!
Excellent video! Especially like how you show the errors at the beginning.
Thanks for sharing with us Jody, pretty neat clamping kit. Enjoyed watching your work. Fred. 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻
That cup really works well surprised with that long stick out it wasn't smoking the electrode. The coverage must really be good.
You make it look easy Bud. You have taught me pretty much everything I know about Tig welding. It's about time I support you and spend some more money with you. Beautiful work, excellent job on the video as always. Thank you.
Regarding your noticing a difference in argon coverage when the tanks get low: use a two stage regulator. Also get yourself a vacuum pump and fully evacuate the cylinders before you get them refilled. That's what I do.
I'm embarrassed by how long it's been since I watched one of your videos. Love the arc shots.
Great demo Jody. Heavy wall is a freebie. I've been welding .028 and .035 wall on a fuselage all week.
Really appreciate how I can take what I learn in your videos and go do it in the shop! Especially now that i've got a TIG Finger☝ 😎👍
Hey Jody - I hope you and your family are all well! Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU. Bought a car project years ago and am now getting toward the end of it, but I can safely say that without the guidance and tricks on your channel there is no way I’d be this near. I’ve even done a small number of weld repairs and some fabrication for friends - never money involved, but it’s great to have a few favours in the bank! Your content is outstanding and the humility you show toward other fabricators does you massive credit too - so many people are in p!ssing contests about who’s work is the best that it’s great to see someone ready to recognise the skill of others. Especially when I would be prepared to hang a ‘professional welder’ sign outside my garage if I were even a quarter as capable as you are! If I’m ever stateside, I will find the time to come and buy you a couple of cold ones. Sorry if this sounds a bit gushy, but I can’t explain how helpful these have been over the years. Thanks again, and keep it up! Rod
Great content and been looking forward to this video! I support the podcast on Pateron and listen in every Monday at work. I’m 17 and work at an airboat fabrication company and have a hand in Tig and MiG aluminum. You’re videos have been such a big help in learning the trade along with life advice from the podcast!!!
Always a pleasure Jody! Loads of great tips in this one 🔥👍🏼🔥
Nice seeing you Jody! Always one of my favorites to watch. Actually the first guy I watched the most for educational when I started. You rock!
what a legend! Ive learned so much from this channel! 👍👍
If you slide that diffuser forward from the back wall of the cup you'll get a lot better coverage with your gas. The difference is like going up another cup size so it's pretty significant
Incredible arc shots thanks as always. Great videos and I always learn a ton.
Great to see you again Jody! Video quality is getting impeccable! Product line is growing too, I tell ya, Before it's all said and done you will have one heck of a legacy to follow. What Bob Ross did for painting, I believe you have done for welding lol God bless!
Thanks for all your vast knowledge that you share with us .
We use Hast W at work all the time, any oddball tooling or fixtures that don’t require specific alloys we just use Hast W, you can weld damn near anything with that stuff hahaha
Is the Hast W like 309? In that it can do dissimilar metals?
@@metalheartmachine better
Awesome video, as always! I appreciate all the work you put into these that has helped me so much over the years!
4130 is what high-end steel bicycle frames are made of as well. Internally butted tubing no less. Thicker on the ends. The heavy stuff wall thickness is .035 at the joins. I didn't have a welding machine capable, so I fillet brazed up one bike and used lugs on the other. O/A work. I still dream of TIG!
Awesome video, thank you! Another fabrication shop I'd recommend checking out is Eversen Fab. The finish on Andy's work is like nothing I've ever seen before.
Thank you Jody, and welcome back!
I can't thank you enough for your videos.
T.S. RACING 🇺🇸🏍👍
Thanks for the video, awesome arc shots.
You rock. Thanks for all your videos!
Thank you very much sir, I learned a lot from your youtube videos about the proper welding of gmaw, thank you very much sir, more videos, and May God Bless You..
watching from philippines👏👏
I just got my pyrex Jazzy 10s in the mail today. Cant WAIT to try em out at work on monday...
Can you do a video on mig welding notched tube joints? There really aren't any videos out there. You're the man, I've learned so much from your videos. Thanks!
I’ve been enjoying your podcasts. But watching your welds is just so satisfying ! Thank you for the effort and time you put into these. We really do appreciate it. It’s probably the most valuable welding asset on the internet.
Excellent work and video. As always thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jody! Great video! Always looking forward to them! 👊
I build 6.0 chassis and use an old miller machine, just scratch arc. Never have had any failures on my welds from crashes.
For practicing chassis work, just stand on your head and put the pedal between your knees.
I like that new Stronghand TIG part organizer. Reminds of the Ratermann TIG Caddie that took me forever to find.
Got better looking beads watching your channel thank you!
I really appreciate you and the content you put out. I work at a custom fab shop and i’ve been watching your videos for years I i’ve been wanting to pick up and practice with Tig welding but the shop I work at will not let anyone use the tig welders unless you have previous experience so therefore I am in the market to buy my own personal tig machine can you provide me with some options of machines you have used over the years that you trust I need to be in the range of $1700 any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated thank you so much I did my first Welding and fabrication job by watching your videos your videos have a literally taught me everything that I know
Jody uses a CK Worldwide 200 amp AC/DC inverter machine (built by Jasic I believe) and a Miller Dynasty 280. He use to use a lot of Everlast machines but they have went away from some reason 🤔 lol
I have an older 200 amp ac/dc everlast and it just does everything I need at home. We weld with high dollar kemppi and fronius machines at night school (I live in Europe so no Miller or Lincoln) and other than setup I don't notice that big of a difference. Jody does a few reviews of older everlast machine and some others. The Fabrication series those a lot of reviews of tig machines from cheap to expensive.
@@tomwagemans1872 Justin is all about America but doesn't have but 1 American machine 👎. He does nice work
@@sledsports All the machines made in America ( or for me in Europe) of more expensive than China made . The chinese made welder I own was all I could afford at the time. The next one I buy will be made in Europe. To support our economy. If you can afford you should buy american made stuff but that's not always possible seeing the prices of some off those welders.
Nothing against Chinese machines. Some of them work really well. Others not so much. I am just disappointed in Justin flying the flag on his shoulder and having 20- 30 Chinese machines. It's not what he can afford... its what gets gave to him.
Thanks for another awesome video Jody you the man 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I just set amps and leave it. Also if somebody has any experience they won't have to worry about arc length . I love stainless. And it's mostly the gas lenses. Shielding the weld is key. Especially with stainless.
Two things amaze me. 1. even when there is a gap - the edges didn't burn back when welding or tacking. 2. on the super low angle area where you extended the electrode and turned up the chf - the arc remained in the nook - and didnt burn away the side wall of the tube. how Jody. how?! 🙂
Appreciate the video Jody, you definitely give great tips and tricks brotha.
if youre like me and break jazzy cups alot but save the screens; you can get monster 10 cups from arczone and put them inside with the jazzy install tool. without the screen the monster10 cups just dont work in my experience
Good video Sometimes pumping the pedal is good to fix welds to I had to do that many times to make the world the fix undercut nama
When you mention lack of coverage when the bottle pressure gets low it has nothing to do with the gas composition. More than likely it has to do with the volume that the orifice in the regulator can flow for the inlet pressure. This will be noticeable when the bottle pressure goes from 2,300 psi when full to only a few hundred psi when close to empty. You are correct that gas cylinders can become contaminated if someone ran the bottle to zero pressure and left the tank valve open. You will notice contaminated shielding gas when a fresh cylinder is first used, not after it is used and gets to a lower pressure.
I wanna have a look you shot the very detail with our laser welding as the video, dear welding teacher.
We use Turbaloy 6457 on our 4130 tubing. Flows really nice but it's pricey!
Damn this fixture plate is what I’m missing. I don’t have a dedicated welding location yet and no space to put a proper steel table. I could slap this on a my normal workbench and weld on it. Seems to have enough thermal mass to not burn the wood bench underneath it. Hopefully they ship globally.
Where is global for you?
@@Sicktrickintuner Thailand
@@Sicktrickintuner will contact the store, i might have more stuff to get from the US and it might be more economical to ship via a forwarder
Great example of what you can accomplish with practice! Love my tig finger btw.
Does anyone happen to know what happened to that younger youtuber who used to make videos on stick/mig welding. I believe he lived on a farm and did a lot of repairs on ag equipment. I can't remember his name or youtube name for the life of me. Thanks!
I know this is 2 years after. But the comment on the argon bottle being contaminated. Turn it upside down for minimum a week. Make sure you can open the valve without moving the bottle. Co2 is a heavier gas. Just barily crack it open to a hiss. Let it flow for a minute or two. I have converted a few ar/co2 18% bottles.
Love it, was wondering it that was that hastelloy w you’ve been working away on that stuff for a while! Great score
No matter how well you teach yourself to Tig weld there's always something to learn with the variations between cup size, tungsten stick out, gas flow. UA-cam people doing cages need to recognise their faults with not doing a second pass too.
Nice work!! I know this is a practice piece for the video and its slick. If you were welding this material as a "code" weld would you purge the inside with argon as well? We purge all stainless TIG welds on 304 stainless pipe or 316 food grade tubing to prevent carbide precipitation, aka "Sugaring" , so I was just wondering about it. I dig your channel. You would be a beast in the Pipe trades!!!!
Very nice good video as always keep it up.
Jodie busts out the Hastelloy Dubya the way the rest of us bust out the 309L and 316L.
2.5 ? I thought I was the only one that blind still walking around! Haha
NICE WORK JODY, BUT WHERES THE SLAG AT ??
Hi Jody, I think I have watched every single one of your TIG videos!! I am a newbie to TIF welding and learning such a lot. Would it be possible to order your stuff from South Africa? Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Best wishes.
Hi Jody, huge fan of your channel, my son and I are about to purchase our first Tig welder, what max current capability would you recommend if its for building Motorcycle frames and similar projects. The reason I ask is there is a 180 AMP that runs from regular 10 amp wall plug but the 200AMP + require 15 amp plug and that would require some mods to our electrical supply
Thanks for posting a new video,I know you have a lfe and I appreciate it.
you can weld well i need 5 20ft leads for airco h35 //350 amp lead water cooled
Your a treasure Jody!
First of all I don't know what I'm doing as far of tig welding. Can you do it with one pass? I would like to see the difference between them with a strength test. Your Welsh look perfect. Thanks for the videos.

Hi, I would like to make two holes in the seat tube of my bicycle to put a water bottle holder, perhaps using allen bolts + barrel nuts. This is of chromoly 4130, would it be feasible without it cracking in the future? Help pleaseee...
_Hola, quisiera hacer dos perforaciones en el tubo del asiento de mi bicicleta para poner un porta bidon de agua, quizas utilizando pernos allen + tuercas de remache. Esta es de chromoly 4130, sería factible sin que éste en un futuro se fisure?_
Hi, l need to make a joint between molly-copper molly and copper for a project. How can this be done. Kindly give the necessary instructions for this
hey Jody, you didnt use ER80, how come? Can ER70 can keep up the quality of the steel?
10:36 - same thing here; got a 2.4831 roll of filler material. Could I use this for 4130? I think it should fit, but I wonder how the stbility changes compared to 312 as filler...
I remember custom bike frames being built in the early 2000s, they used to say chromoly suffered fatigue fractures at the joint when using carbon steel fillers and that silicon bronze brazing was the better option for the application. What is your opinion on that idea? Also is er70-s2 not lower tensile strength than 4130? I had heard er80 is a better match? Thanks for the video as always.
Are them jazzy cups any good welding ali???
I have certain ali jobs at work with very very tight gaps and struggle even with a normal no.4 ceramic cup(and this is with a 20 torch) which gives u and idea how tight the gaps are!!
I was thinking with a 1" stick out i cud more easily get into the gsps
Would it be able to do the same job with a standard number 6 cup? If we dont have this fancy gas lense and stubby cup
I wish I could afford to do tig welding until then I guess it's flux core which is better than nothing
My work table was 8ft X 8ft I miss my trade.
Do you preheat when you weld heavy tubes like this
What tig welder did you use? Not sure if you mentioned it. Thanks!
Question Jody, apoligize its off topic from vid, but this is the only way I know to communicate with you. I'm on a very tight budget, and I respect your knowledge and experience. I should I say "used to be" a good welder; ua local 72, certified ua21, ua41, ua5, that was over 10 years ago. Now I want to try to start a "side hustle" and hopefully get a welding/fab business started if possible. I'm in south Louisiana and there's always repair work on small shrimp/oyster/crab boats most of aluminum, some steel hull (corten), some stainless fittings and such. Which would be better oxy-acetylene, or lincoln ac-250 tombstone to make enough to buy a better more suitable power source? I thank you in advance, God bless you sir. Also your answer may help someone else in my position.
Been practicing tig but I've always been a bit shaky.. Are there any solutions or work arounds that you're aware of? 🤔
Hey Jody, any chance of you doing a video on galvanized?
Off subject here, have you ever welded with castolin eutectic 4057 3/32 on stainless? Specifically stainless to stainless. I have this rod and have no idea what to do with it. I have a stainless project but not sure if this would fulfill my needs.
What machine has been good for you? Thinking about buying a Everlast lightning 225, esab 215 or Lincoln 210mp

Was just curious if you can Tig aluminum with the lay wire technique or walk the cup with aluminum?
Jodi- since you worked aircraft industry for so many years, what does “AMS” stand for in its perspective designation????
Approved Maintenance Schedule
Boa noite seu vídeo são muito bom
Hi Cody. What type of filler rod would you recommend for welding a Crome Vanadium wrench and stainless cutlery 18/10 together. ? Thanks
Any tips on tig brazing 1" copper to 1/4" steel? I am using silicon bronze with 100% argon.
Would er80s-d2 also be appropriate for this?
Can I use er80s - D2 for chromoly
When in doubt W it out
Slick weld
Hastelloy scrap price is probably more than regular stainless rod new
If you shaking, you just need a 🍺
Would you be kind enough to share with us what welder you used for this project? Thanks.
I’d bet it was the CK MT200 but that’s just a guess
