Anthony, you are the epitome of what I call a breath of fresh air. Your authenticity is just…I just enjoy it so much. I enjoy watching you work. I’m a welding student, just finishing my program this month! I have a ways to go before I can certify as I need to practice to become more proficient. Watching you inspires me, you make me laugh. Keep up the good work!
Hey Anthony, Finally I can maybe help you back for all the things Ive learnt from you! Been working in the cold half my life, it does get warm every now and then in Canada. Might sound silly but to keep your hands warm, you have to keep your core warm. I usually do merino wool base layers (wont melt to my skin either) with either work pants if it might warm up or lightweight pants if im gonna stay bundled up in my Tough Duck bib. I'm not a fan of coveralls because your shoulders can shed a lot of heat and the key to not freezing is also not sweating, so popping of your overcoat can help regulate your temp, also coveralls just dont fit me right and I like the pockets on the front of the bib. On my torso I usually rock a Carhatt hoodie, a (best thing here if you only listen to one thing) and a a tight tuque that'll fit under my hood. For gloves I keep the cheapo packs of thin cotton gloves and keep those on as much as possible, usually put a pair of leathers on top for 80% of the work. If ill need a lot of dexterity I swap the cottons for Watson 412 Navigator gloves. also dont pump the heat in the truck on the way to the job, if you have a long drive start cooling down an hour before you get there, pop the windows down and stop to add another layer as you start getting chilly. Just got home from 11 hours in -11c (12 F) blowing snow and I was fine, hot soup does feel pretty damn great though. Stay safe and thanks for the vids man!
I went to school for metallurgy , welding machine and HD Diesel repair, in 1978 ! I worked on a farm in Wisconsin and did a lot of work on trucks cars tractors equipment…. I enjoy watching your videos, you have the same just get it done approach and I believe you really take pride in your welding , if it’s not perfect or as perfect as you can get you grind out a weld and do it over , a lot of people just let that go especially if they don’t th8nj it’s visible easily ! I think your pretty smart fellow to be able to move to Montana and get going you been there what a year maybe and already able to buy a house ! You are a successful man I applaud you, I also purchased a Weld sticker from you to help out. Thanks for taking the time to produce video I have been inspired to try more 7018 , I only us3d stick and little MIG as are Huge Miller MIG welder didn’t have big amps so it didn’t dig in to thick metal also it was only used in the shop, we had one of those dog house Lincoln welders that did most of our work and a mobile Miller stick only mobile welder on 5he service truck. I have a great Everlast 275 multi welder and I love it , the stick cables are brand new in the shop never used but I am going to dig them out ,I purchased a small bundle of 7018 going to give it a chance. I live in the south now but you brought back some cold memories of working in the cold and rolling around in the snow. Your a great America, do some work, earn your money , treat others fair take pride in yourself. Running a business is so much work I owned a peterbult for a handful of years over a million miles across the USA but wanted more home time went back to what I knew and appreciated it more . God bless and good luck !
Anthony, you might want to try the Carhartt Yukon Extreme Coveralls. They keep the snow out, and keep you warm. Especially since it's probably only going to get colder up there before it gets warmer. Thanks for the videos. Keep it up!
Would the material be suitable for welding? I passed on the Yukon extremes and got the insulated duck ones because I was worried about the Yukons burning
@@zackphinney4166 - The outside material is the same as a normal Carhartt jacket. Really dense denim. Probably wouldn't hold up as well as a dedicated welding coat, but everything is a compromise when you want to stay warm.
The absolute mental flash bang at 1:40 forced my weak willed, meager, and impressionable brain to subscribe without my consent 😫 Someone save the youth from Meltin Metal Anthony!
You need a pair of Carhartt bibs overalls , you wear a hoodie or jacket with it and the legs zip so you can regulate to temp pretty well , unzip at the top by your pocket get room and cool air if you get hot , they are the best for working in the cold , a must have I will say . they keep your lower back dry and covered ! Plus you only need one pair for 10 years!
Nothing is never easy we just got to take it one step at a time. One thing I enjoy about snow is it seems more peaceful even with the coldness keep up the good work mma
Northern Michigan here. Cold as cold right now. Pre-heat pre-heat pre-heat....or if you are SMAW....then I still pre-heat...or long arc a solid inch and a half to warm the rod and put a little heat in the steel. Enjoy the cold friend because it ain't going no where....
Yep been welding in winters since I started/ if it’s super important weld preheating the metal is a good idea. I use a weed burner on a propane tank. Works quick. Just patched a spot in a 25000 lb trailer. Was 23 degrees. Just took a little preheat. And then my welds looked normal. Especially running 7018. That helps with striking an arc
I know I've already made a comment here but...I can't help but smile some. Watching you struggle a little in the cold. I know it's the cold too because I've seen your videos. You are accomplished. Cold weather is tuff on everything!! Wait till you want to rely on your batteries....and it has been my experience....out in my shop. If my oxygen is not by the heat...my regulator will start to freeze up and cause dumb issues. Water freezes!!
Nice seeing a lad doing some hot shnot in the snow--makes a fella less inclined to procrastinate on his own winter boogering. I'd rather be running beads than patching a floor, but arcs is arcs I guess. Tell ya what though, that old Lincoln 350 sure is a nice machine. Always enjoyed using a piece of equipment that was a) older than I am and b) might very well outlive me. Nice work dude, have a good one and enjoy that snow! Got yourself a skidoo yet? Highly recommend.
Preheat is your best friend to welding in cold 🥶 been working in negative 30 c almost my whole career, grab a tiger torch and propane way cheaper, but you'll still be cold hahaha
My brother always good to see you out there doing it to it a small note be careful with hypothermia it's a sneaky enemy Ergo laying on the snow been there done that and it was ugly thank God it happened when I was a young man like yourself
First of all Anthony get yourself a pallet a piece of plywood and old carpet or make Up What pipe welders call a mud board to lay down on the snow so you don’t get cold and wet. I do a lot of overhead welding on work barges in the winter time I use a rubberized pool float Cushion they’re flat there about 2 inches thick they keep it insulated from the ground and they don’t burn up theSparks just make little burn holes in it And you probably didn’t have To use 7018 on the thin stuff I use 6010 or 60 11 5/32 Never have a problem and number three please go buy yourself a 25 foot piece of number 2 flex whip cable and some quick connections, If you really had to weld all day with that heavy cable dragging around you’re gonna get fatigued real quick. But another good video so keep them coming bet you miss Florida now with that weather up there
When I worked in a shipyard there was a certain outside temperature that limited welding, I don't remember what temp that was but it rarely got cold enough stop us. That was East coast Md.
Good to see content again brings back memories, with the fluctuation of temps you may want to try a little Heet or Stabil in your welder for better performance I've done it here in in Wi. during the winter mos.
One trick i learned playing lacrosse that i use now welding in the cold, when it's cold put on those blue like medical gloves and then your welding gloves and your hands will stay super warm
Get your self insulated bibs and get new fuel filters an change engine oil to 10w30 or whatever your truck and welder recommend for cold weather and keep extra fuel filters and fuel additive to fill them with in truck .... Having spare fuel filter can save the day.
@@hanluong2510 I use a small hand propane torch, and GENTLY warm the inside and outside of the helmet glass. Lightly heat the head bands too. Takes the fog away, as long as you keep welding !
I've done this repair probably 500 times!! Usually pretty easy once you get off old coupler! Btw swinging the hammer down on the end of old coupler to knock off costed me a very bloody hand one day! That's still how I do it🤣 just telling you so you put some band-aids in your truck
Good morning from California, You have some great videos. I am new to welding and always afraid of welding when is wet abd I see you welding in the snow and was wondering if you can make a video about welding when is wet or in the rain? Please. Thank you.

Fun fact why your welds were acting funny. When welding in the cold. You must preheat the metal to 200* F even if it was painted no matter what it is. It's not just because the low temp metal sucks the heat from your weld. The crystal matrix of the metal is also full of frozen water. That must be removed. I Welded in the north east ship yards for 8 years. Welds turn out better if the metal is preheated at anytime. Summer or winter.
Ya they like to weld it out on the bottom from the factory apparently they assemble them upside down. I was wondering why you didn't use a tube or angle to keep it from swaying or separating but looks like their was a bottom plate doing that job looks good.
I know the touch has lots of uses and isn't really replaceable but for cutting you may be able to get one of those cheap plasma cutters if you have air on board
I recommend wearing latex gloves under your gloves or mechanics glove your movement might be restricted for the second choice but both will keep your hand warm
As a tech student in a welding program, wow you are special, no offense. Dollar tree glasses and no belt. I'd recommend a good pair of safety glasses especially for grinding cause accidents happen and you only get one ser of eye. And a belt would keep your pants and keep you warmer.
Nice to see some videos, how's the house coming? Coming to Montana for a couple weeks with wife & 6 kids, can we stay @ your house? Wife has irregular bowel cyndrome
Building railroad cars we would preheat some joints in the winter. Basically just wave the torch over it until the moisture boils off. Not sure if that would help on thin stuff like that trailer but it might.
There’s no moisture it’s the byproduct of the torch. Preheat helps for sure though. Aluminum I always wave a torch over though just about no matter how thick or thin.
@@sparkythawelder it’s the byproduct of burning a hydrocarbon. So yes in short the moisture you see is from the flame and it condensing on the cold metal. The colder the metal usually the longer it appears to last but as the metal warms moderately you no longer see it because it can’t condense on the now warmed metal. There is more science that is above my pay grade and hopefully someone can add to the more technical end but that’s it in a nutshell.
@@motoz3939 so your saying, that regardless of where the moisture comes from, my original statement is correct? (You'll notice I didn't say where the water comes from).
@@sparkythawelder many people say there's moisture in metal and the torch drives it off. The way your comment is written to me does sound like you were or are saying that. I wrote the comment for you and anyone who is reading it and may or may not take it the way you are telling me it is intended to. If your original intent was to be in agreement with that then why did you ask for clarification and not just clarity yourself?
Record the serial # and weld the number on-weld the number on the passenger side- now weld the jack on the driver side. I guess next time that happens.
Welcome to the cold baby lol it ain’t easy being in the welding business if you have half the year as a winter. You had it nice in Florida. Easy jobs easy work lol you’re about to find out it’s a whole new ball game. Just be glad you’re not in the Midwest where it’s freezing nearly year round and the rust belt.
I appreciate your videos man. I’ve been welding and started doing some side work and wanting to expand it more. Kind of like what you do, from repairs to slightly bigger jobs like the columns and stuff. My struggle is pricing. It’d be nice if you put that info into each of your videos but I also get that being personal information
I’m surprised you would wanna leave Florida? I feel like because of the salt air there be more welding work then Montana? I’m probably wrong. I love florida but I live in New Hampshire. Cold sucks at times.
JUST A HINT IF YOU GET YOU SOME COVERALLS,WHICH YOU SHOULD, MAKE SURE YOU GET ONES WITH A FLAP S OVER ANY ZIPPERS, SLAG LOVES TO STICK AND MESS UP YOUR ZIPPERS,,,,,
get yourself a weed burner. when its under 30 you've got to warm everything up for sure. at least watch the moisture come out of it and you'll be good.
My regulators completely froze up this year here in mn. Yeah definitely don’t recommend keeping them on the bottles during winter. Same sort of job. Replacing tongues on fish houses and a lot of fucking embarrassment and grinding lmao
I was thinking of giving you a thumbs up, you kept it nice and professional up to the very end. just because like to put things in your prison pocket doesnt mean others enjoy it like you do... 😂😂😂
Not for me.... To rough environment to work. Corporate jobs behind the big desk making decisions that's the job to have.... Can't get the hands dirty Anthony.... Working in snow... Nope nope nope...
"You know what to do" laugh. Would a piece of plywood to lay on be smart to keep you out of the wet shit, I worry about getting dead at work if I just so happen to be nominated for the company lottery life insurance pay out they can use for my replacement and new equipment. I like the small add jobs.
There’s never such a thing in welding as a “quick and easy” weld job. There’s always something.
It's been my experience that sometimes the job you think will be easy turns out to be a pain and vice versa.
Agreed. I've learned....a two hour job is really a three to four.
There is ALWAYS something 😂
So true. No matter what, there’s ALWAYS something.😂

FYI pex or device compounds for driveway or porch/walkway. Work smarter not harder...
Worst part of welding in the winter is when your hood fogs up and you can't see anything.

You have some great videos.
I am new to welding and always afraid of welding when is wet abd I see you welding in the snow and was wondering if you can make a video about welding when is wet or in the rain? Please. Thank you.
looking forward to the next structural welding vids
Curious if pre-heating the metal before welding would have helped. I've seen stuff about pre-heating in cold temps but never had to do it myself.
I don't remember which clause it's in right out the gate (note: Clause 5, Table 5.8) but there is a section in the AWS D1.1 Structural Steel Code Book about making sure you're metal is at the proper temperature based on the thickness.
The required temp for welding 1/8" to 3/4" steel is 32℉ so not sure if that'll help as I am still a welding student myself but I figured this might help if need be.
Fun fact why your welds were acting funny. When welding in the cold. You must preheat the metal to 200* F even if it was painted no matter what it is. It's not just because the low temp metal sucks the heat from your weld. The crystal matrix of the metal is also full of frozen water. That must be removed. I Welded in the north east ship yards for 8 years. Welds turn out better if the metal is preheated at anytime. Summer or winter.
Welcome to the cold brotha
Ya they like to weld it out on the bottom from the factory apparently they assemble them upside down. I was wondering why you didn't use a tube or angle to keep it from swaying or separating but looks like their was a bottom plate doing that job looks good.
I know the touch has lots of uses and isn't really replaceable but for cutting you may be able to get one of those cheap plasma cutters if you have air on board
Good job 👍

As a 10 year welder, keep that shit to yourself. Your going to get picked apart when you hit the real world.
All trailer tungs are welded 100% at least at a trailer manufacturer. Worked at a few in the beginning of my welding career.

For weather like this you should get a pair of muck boots. I weld in them occasionally and seem to do great! Not sure about daily use tho
I wear ll bean boots with leather spats over the top to protect them
You said your torch is messing up, but it sounds like you have your torch turned up too high so in turn it won't cut very well

Too cold. Only good to freezing read the can
I would not be happy with a trailer Jack mounted on the passenger side. Sorry. Everything happens on the driver side when dealing with trailers.
JUST A HINT IF YOU GET YOU SOME COVERALLS,WHICH YOU SHOULD, MAKE SURE YOU GET ONES WITH A FLAP S OVER ANY ZIPPERS, SLAG LOVES TO STICK AND MESS UP YOUR ZIPPERS,,,,,
get yourself a weed burner. when its under 30 you've got to warm everything up for sure. at least watch the moisture come out of it and you'll be good.

My regulators completely froze up this year here in mn. Yeah definitely don’t recommend keeping them on the bottles during winter. Same sort of job. Replacing tongues on fish houses and a lot of fucking embarrassment and grinding lmao

Clean air
im not smart enough to explain why properly, but you dont wanna weld on top of those metal beams, only the sides, its stronger
I was thinking of giving you a thumbs up, you kept it nice and professional up to the very end. just because like to put things in your prison pocket doesnt mean others enjoy it like you do... 😂😂😂
Still nice and warm here in Florida upper seventies Lower eighties

Not for me.... To rough environment to work. Corporate jobs behind the big desk making decisions that's the job to have....
Can't get the hands dirty Anthony.... Working in snow... Nope nope nope...
"You know what to do" laugh.
Would a piece of plywood to lay on be smart to keep you out of the wet shit, I worry about getting dead at work if I just so happen to be nominated for the company lottery life insurance pay out they can use for my replacement and new equipment. I like the small add jobs.
Dude get a mud board
Definitely not fl weather
