Redwing, Compliments to you man! I can hear that steady "egg frying" burn sound. You've got excellent control of your gun and in maintaining your gun distance. I've been welding many years and still run into glitches from time to time. Thank for sharing this.
Tack welding does nothing for keeping things squared. All proper tacks do is keep your fit up in place. How much something moves is far more dependent on the types of welds being utilized around the joint. e.g. On a mitered joint (square tube), the inside fillet weld pulls the pieces together far more than the outside butt weld. Tack all you want, clamp the shit out of it. Metal is elastic. It's going to move mainly based on how much heat you put into it and where.
There is really nothing wrong where you tacked in the first part of the video. Yes it moved slightly but with just a tack you can set if back easily. Then tack the other side and and weld. On the second part of the video, tacking where you did moved the metal off square on the other side. IMO for such a small area, it is more difficult to correct. If you don't have a notched square to clear the weld, stack another piece of flatbar on the bottom to clear the weld and then check for square.
i was just wondering if that pull out of square you experienced with the second go was the flat bar on the botton warping up,and if you could have cured that by clamping it to the table while welding.
The reason why the job was pulling to the left was because the heat from bead weld had made the flat iron go concave..which can be seen. towards the end of the video as same is starting to lift off the bench... once the other side was welded it would pull back to level...
mr red wing im not a hater but a helper so "dont kill the messenger" ; ) on ur next vid u should remember all the kids out there and urself and wear proper saftey gear. also try a couple close ups with ur camera...zoom in so u dont melt it and we can c ur work better. also try and b more descriptive by telling us what makes it the right and wrong way along with showing us. a short descriptive intro telling us about urself and experiance along with details on ur welder and its settings also.
I just came accross a mig welder.It came with a couple diffrent spools of wire.Stainless and looks like copper?Wich one works best on steel and can I weld bicycle frames together with mig on aluminum?Thanks for your vids been a great help in getting started.
Thanks for the info. I'm thinking about getting an powerimig welder but wasn't sure if had to get an argon mix or if I could get away with using cheaper straight co2.
lol- you can see it move as he is welding. look at the top of the steel. Should be level with the wall joist and then it starts moving towards the weld.
I'm just learning to weld. I like oxy-acetylene right now. Was that tig or mig you were doing? Also, what advice do you have for welding lite / thin metals like a computer tower case?
Thanks for the tips. Hope to use them all when I get my MIG welder. Looking at getting a PowerIMIG 200. Do you find using pure CO2 leaves a much messier weld than using an Argon/CO2 mix?
I'm an IronWorker for a living. I also weld for fun on the side building stuff in the garage. Check out my websites if you need a project. A good Ironworker working steady can make $65,000 a year depending on where you live.
Nice video, I have a question about your shop..I noticed it has wood bracing with insulation. Do you do a lot of welding in this shop? and would you recommend a wood shop over a metal shop for welding?
The whole point of this video was to show the proper way to tack the piece to end up with everything maintaining alignment. It did not achieve that goal. Perhaps he should have finished it to demonstrate.
Tact on both sides before welding... Duh. The funny thing is that your piece still ended up cocked. You should rename this video "How to lower your helmet hands free."
It sounds to me that you could help yourself by keeping your eyes open while watching these videos. I hate know it all UA-cam commenters lol. By the way I never sleep when I weld so I guess we'll never know but, I really doubt you could ever out weld me.
A welding instruction video. Done by a guy wearing a t shirt, with a car battery sitting just behind him. Never heard of UV rays? How about hydrogen gas? lol
You actually welded twice as long on your first pass forcing the metal to move. Then on your second pass you still couldn't keep your metal from walking away from you.
Sounds like you might need a few more years of experience on a job site. This vid is a demonstration of what happens when you put heat to the metal. Once you get a few more years of experience you might be able figure it out. Oh, and the last time checked I havent seen OSHA near my garage to cite me for a completely drained battery waiting to get recycled. The battery was completely dry but, thanks to all you wannabes for letting me know about the hazards lol.
just a thought..... if you want to preach/teach the rights and wrongs on welding..... please start with the right PPE ( PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT ).... you are going to roast your arms homeboy use some leathers or long sleeves

You can also tack out of square and use the heat to pull it back into square...

Great explanation and thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge
Not to mention you warped the fuck out of that 1/4 in flat bar!!!! Thats something else to watch out for too!!!!
Yes. You should always tack multiple places to keep anything from moving.
Good vid bud. Love how calm you are haha Cheers from texas.
Whether I use my powerimig or stick weld I clamp everything I weld. Alternating tack welds to counteract expansion and contraction is a must too.

I'm welding for the first time for a project on my car. And these movies are very very helpfull to me.

Thanks for that lesson,gives me something to think about when I want to do something similar
It is a demo. I didn't clamp on purpose.

Very clear and helpful
pre setting your joints is always a good option as well

can you guys do a video showing the miter gauge in use?
great tip. thanks from Dubai

lol- you can see it move as he is welding. look at the top of the steel. Should be level with the wall joist and then it starts moving towards the weld.
I was using the stud in the background to estimate it as well. I was thinking I was the only one that noticed.
Maybe the house wasn't built properly?
Good work
Nice demo, thanks!
EXELENTE GRASIAS POR LOS CONSEJOS
I'm just learning to weld. I like oxy-acetylene right now. Was that tig or mig you were doing? Also, what advice do you have for welding lite / thin metals like a computer tower case?
the process he was using was mig.
computer cases are usually aluminum. look into soldering or brazing.
Ty that was really helpful

What a genious!!! Your my IDOL!
Thanks, great demo. good to know.
Hahaha I like that one. Good to see you bud. Take care.
@mrfixitok ...I was thinking the nautilus thing was a battery...
Very informative! Thank you
Nice video, I have a question about your shop..I noticed it has wood bracing with insulation. Do you do a lot of welding in this shop? and would you recommend a wood shop over a metal shop for welding?
be safe and work with what you got man
I was watching welding videos to learn about welding, but now I'm watching them to read all the pro-comments to laugh my guts out...
is there rod in those welders or is it just melting the steel ?
very nice
great info, thanks. Keep doing what you do best! Ignore the idiots and continue providing us with tips
thanks great video bring on more video
Thank you.
wow thank you for the information

An ironworker was pulled over on his way to a job, the cop was lucky to leave with a warning... JIW Local 292.
Good info thanks.

😄!!!
The next time I do a 5 minute video I'll be sure to put about 4 layers of jackets on haha.
good info thanks alot!!
Good stuff
right on man
Thanks!
Good Thank You.
Flashburn?

this guy is fuckin rock.

"a 4g certification card" I have 3 of them. I'm an ironworker out of local 512 nuff said...
Talk to me when you have a little experience kid.
@michael122878 You don't have to be shy and make it into a supposed joke, this is the 21st century
Welding with no arm coverings , not recommended
fail at welding with your square there, enjoy all the slag/splatter that just got stuck to it
I clamp as much as possible
too fast wire speed
@happywombatproducts it does sound stupid hahahahaha but cool hahahaha
skin cancer soon long sleeves will save ya
Engage safety squints!
@MrBugout1 i luv the way he welds in a gay way lmao
I feel like I know less after watching than when I started
t-shirt welder ok

no shit really
no homo
fail
just a thought..... if you want to preach/teach the rights and wrongs on welding..... please start with the right PPE ( PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT ).... you are going to roast your arms homeboy use some leathers or long sleeves
joking my bro... this was not a bad demo
@@Florida-welder a good demo shows proper safety use so not instill bad habits on the viewer, A viewer who may not even know better
