    I like the yellow path visualization before you actually show the welding path.
    For a rookie like me, it’s a great visual aid. 👍🏼👍🏼

      Bret Lambky agreed. Somethings are verbally explained in videos but the yellow drawing makes the idea very clear.

    My school sucks my teachers never went to detail about the distances and the pattern it needs I learn by asking everyone that’s more advance then me taught me a lil a about welding I felt like I’ve been doing all of this on my own but with you I feel more complete with the lessons and ways to weld right

    Mr Jody,
    I would like to thank you personally for your video and experience. I am being trained (so-called train, we're just given scrap and told to weld - but we are on the clock so that's cool) on welding trailers. I wasn't getting the best consistency on my welds so I looked at your videos. They specifically said to push and whip with the wire, but I decided to use your method and pull instead. Instant change. Better control, better consistency, and I know the weld penetrated extremely well. Thanks a lot.

    Jody now even my kids know you :)). What they don't know is how I came across you back in 2011 when I was struggling with purging some 16" stainless pipe for Harrods in London. with your tips and tricks I did a good job and bought a nice little car with that money :). Also learned from you how to do a vertical fillet MMa ... I should make in one day a list on how many things I learned from you . Basically that job started me off on deep sea, high pressure projects. So thanks a lot for teaching me how to make loads of money. Keep up the great work you do. God Bless you and your family.

    I generally use the “v” technique for downhill, great penetration and clean controlled edges. I used to weld 11 gauge downhill mostly 12” at a time non structural so id play with settings and just make it pretty. Roughly 18 volts with a slower feed rate, never disappointed.

    To me you are the best youtube teacher welder. My welding students are crazy with your videos, even without understanding english, they use the automatic subtitled translator and It help them a lot.
    Your quality videos are improving since I become your fan long time ago. I think that you could increase your worlwide audience by adding some kind of overlap information in scientific notation(1/8"---3.2mm). The AWS Welding Handbook recomends to use scientific notation as a means of share knowledge arround the world. God job teacher!

    Jody , by the 2F weld why you go first up forward. (+ 3.04 min )
    On the other side of the pond we learn always (I = 30 years ago) first go down forward because you can drag " dirt " under your weld.
    First down and than up to fill your undercut (banana shape movement )
    Same when you weld from left to right you go anti clockwise by circle movement and never clockwise because you can drag " dirt " under your weld (imperfections or silicates )
    But like always a good video = Best welding youtube channel

    Love the videos! As well as the podcast! Could you possibly do a video on inner shield 233 wire. A lot of ironworkers struggle getting certified on this wire. And that’s the test that will certify all of our members on all flux core wire. Which is a the majority of all structural welds. I know hundreds of people I’ve met out in the field that watch your videos. It would help a lot of our members get more information on the wire. And welding with a drag angle on a verticals which is so strange lol. Thanks for the videos! Keep up the good work!

    Thanks for showing how to weld according to the chart. Tough stuff right there. Me and my work partner weld all day every day.... it's hilarious how we had a discussion about tip to nozzle end clearance just the other day, him having his flush like you do and mine being about 3/8 distance like it should be... I'm sure there's no correlation between that and his tip getting trashed every other day while mine stays good for about 2 weeks.

    I was trained as a repair welder fixing robot errors. I wasn't properly trained or certified. I practiced during break times so it looked like I was a natural when being trained. So they left me to wing it and figure it out on my own. It always passed inspection so I guess I did it right. I had to get a pacemaker so I had to end my welding career. I really wanted to get certified.
