No doubt this is absolutely the most helpful tutorial for filling gaps on UA-cam, it hits all of the areas needed to do a good job, and your teaching methods are incredibly clear, and superbly delivered, the bottom line here is that you are an awesome Instructor. Thank you.
I have watched countless videos on welding. These answer all my questions and I learned more in this one than dozens of others. Basic machine workings and welding strategy/settings of the type you never see anywhere else. Simply terrific. Thanks.
In the 1/16th demonstration he mentioned welding in the "drag" method (aka backhand or pull method), he does that for the first good weld, but then goes on do, what appears to be, the Push method. Maybe I am not seeing correctly, someone please correct me if I am wrong
No, you are not wrong, this is a method seemingly many Welders don't know about or use nor understand, the purpose of this method is to prevent or curb warpage and burn throughs, using both Push and Drag methods minimizes warpage because using the Drag method produces more heat into your plate than the Push method, so to continue welding and decreasing the amount of heat input into the plate, He then switches to the Push method which is the cooler method that allows the area to cool off a bit to minimize the heat distortion, I was taught to alternate start with Drag switch to Push over and again until completed
You are absolutely right, the better the fit up, the better the weld! This video just illustrates how to weld a gap if you don't have an option for great fit up.
This is one of the best MIG videos I've seen for sheet metal.
Such clear, concise explanations and showing what to look for and what might come up. Thank you!
Awesome video. Very helpful thank you
Very impressive gap welding!

Great video my friend thank you for sharing your knowledge

Never thought of the wire speed controlling the amperage! Thanks for that. Clears up some things for me.
This was so helpful in working the welding for a floor panel! Thanks for the video!
Brilliant instruction !!!
Very informative video, thank you!
An excellent very informative video
Great tutorial. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial , I learned a lot in such a short time. Thank you from Western Australia down under.
Superb, clear exact explanation of how the MIG settings work with each other. 👍
Good job
On the large gap would it help to hold a piece of copper behind it as you go.
Awesome! One of the best tutorials I have watched. Thanks you just made me a better welder.
Great to hear!
Great ideas bud, thanks very much!
True, but not easy to weld thin, auto-body panels. Suggestions?
We suggest using a smaller wire such as .025 and copper backing.
This was so helpful. Thank You for thee advice.
A good tutorial.Thanks for sharing.GBY!
Great 👍 video. Thanks for the tip.
Great explanation, thank you! What is the thickness of the plates?
These were 18 gauge plates.
Very helpful video.
Great video! Thanks
Tq, it’s really help me in my work.
Not so much likes, I don't know why but valuable things.
Thank you 👍

Copper welding spoon at HF 💯
On the first weld you said you were turning the voltage down .5V but you kept it the same at 16.5V 😒
Fit up is everything. This is a whole bunch of stuff you don't want to be doing!!

Great information and demonstration, but the tediously monotonous background music ruined the vid, as does ALL background music.
