This is how teaching videos should be. No posing for the camera, no talks about how "you" run "your classroom." Just straight info, clear demonstrations, with comprehensive "comparing, & contrasting," of good & bad welds. Perfect.
A lot of videos in the 40s were like this nothing flashy but you appreciated the value. A different social structure in those days. Seriously a lot of videos in that time had a very informative man in the video.
Why are these old instructional films so much better than anything today? Same with textbooks, get an old ICS textbook and its vastly superior than anything today, and without all the computer technology today.
Totally agree! I've found many old black-n-white (no colour) soviet videos (manuals, science, etc) which not just better than modern videos full of best computer graphics... They are can't be compared at all!
Simple answer is that video production cost was very high - film, professionals, expensive cameras, artists for graphics etc.. Such instructional videos were produced only by seriously capable institutions (army, government, large corporations) that had already invested a lot of money and effort in the video production that they had to also get the best experts on the subject.
Such interesting lessons! I gotta say, those arc shots and demos are simply amazing and in depth. I also find it interesting how wide that weld pool is for that size of rod/weld, and how there was a change of angle to "mitigate arc blow" but I recall that arc blow is associated with DC machines and welders specially use AC to avoid it. Straight up have to love this video. So nostalgic and informative
I have watched numerous UA-cam videos on welding ,this one I found most helpful with simple explanation for the beginners like me ,which is in a nutshell ,unlike other videos which are confusing
Better then any video out there today??? You must not watch Wed.com Or "Welding tips and tricks" with Jody. They both have awesome arc shots. This is a great film for sure, I love it, Not even close to the quality on the two channels I mentioned. Just saying. Jim
I think this was back in the days when they didn't have filter lenses for eye protection. They used a clear piece of glass and held it over a lit candle until the glass got dark and used it to weld with, and a lot of welders went blind by the time they were 30 years old.
I wish I saw this video when I first got my powerarc. It would have saved me quite a few hours practicing and finding out how not to do things. Great old video.
Thank you for uploading this. Amazing to see how while the basics are nearly the same, the process itself has evolved slightly. I've always made the 2nd pass on the bottom to give a shelf for the third above it. Never the less, amazing video!
Just started home training on stick welding and can't believe the clarity of both picture and technique directions this video gives ...1942! Must have been a great year for welders lol!
One of the best welding video ever. I am Brazilian and got surprised with teaching qualities and the use of a cristal clear English language which was lost today. You may figure how difficult is for a foreigner to understand today's pronounce, track and entonation. The world lost its qualities.
This is really a good instructional video. The camera quality is a lot better than the new phone videos for quality of view. I wish it was AC welding because my machine is about that old.
Amazing....couldn't find a good video for this and then this vintage movie shows and explains it all as if I were in a 50's classroom....thank you very much
As a matter of fact we watched 1940's and 1950's welding instructional videos, just like this one, for 3 weeks before we even went to the work shop to get our hands on a stinger... reminds me of welding school
Lincoln built those SA machines that had 2 dials on them. They were tube shaped on 4 wheels. They were and still are the most bitchen machines. They say they are super expensive to make and that's why they don't make them anymore. They also require a lot of skill in getting them adjusted right. Teaching the art of SMAW you cannot beat the arc shots and simplicity of these videos. Thanks for uploading them.
My great uncle grew up sharecropping with my grandfather. He moved to Cincinnati in the early 50’s, lied about knowing how to weld, and became an award winning welder at GE that worked on jet engines
In 1959, SA200, Old School Welder taught me in the oil fields back then. He had a way of doing it that's worked for me all these years. Old School is the way. He'd been welding since 1940.
Amazing shots of the arc for its time. Most videos cannot accomplish this now! I also find it interesting that this is in colour. Do you think it was upgraded later on, or was it filmed in colour?
I wish i could find more old movies like this. I have seen also "Around The Corner - How Differential Steering Works (1937)". The same good examples, the same simplicity, why it's wrong to teach like this today? All of sceenes are so simple and clear, without computer simulations.
@@JBguitar-cj8pc I think its like pipeliners(weld downhill) vs boilermakers(weld uphill).....I think he might get more heat into the part for a better weld the way boiler welders go uphill for more penetration. Then again they said it was 6010 so maybe it was so fast freeze that it didnt matter.
I found that 76 years old video becomes very useful even today in 2018. I wish we could have the 2018 version please let us know if you have any of that :D
What I 've said got nothing to do with you and moreover, it's just a blessing for the owner of the video. because I appreciate that their work. and what I did is just asking them or giving them some suggestions for a better one.
weld at 3:18 didn't penetrate the bottom and has a visible fault that runs in the horizontal position. you can see the bead sitting on the bottom. I'm just in my 2nd semester of college for Weld/Fab. so good on me for seeing that EH!! ;)
Second pass was done wrong. Once you lay down your first pass then the next pass wont go on top of first pass it will actually start at the toe of the first pass, then the final pass will start at the top of the second pass. Sounds confusing but that's how I have always done it and weld looks uniformed and blends well.. let me know if you agree.
This cleared up a bit of trouble I was having with terminating the weld. Everyone talks about it like its some shit that takes 20 years to master. I think I can begin to start and stop the weld pool properly now.
I want to learn how to mig weld better and then move to stick welding once I order my PowerMTS 250S. It is amazing how such an old film has so much useful information even today.
+aaron jones whip and pause only for open root i usually do small cicles or drag 6010 on a joint like this but if ur planning to do pipe welding i definitely recommend whip and pause for everything so u can practice for an open root
+MR t yeah thats what I've been doing for the 2g and 5g pipe I've been practicing, we're working on 6010 from root to the cover and we will whip and pause for the root and we do long arc "lilly pads" for the hot pass and weave for the cover. 5g weave covers and 2g stringer covers, Just working on skill development. So many different ways to accomplish the same thing, its a beautiful thing. I think of it as art pretty much!
In 1942 he believed that the welding was very rudimentary, because the welding current was not well filtered, and the range of electrodes was very small, leading as I observe it was more a supertitle. However, I like it because there is a quality standard.
This is how teaching videos should be. No posing for the camera, no talks about how "you" run "your classroom." Just straight info, clear demonstrations, with comprehensive "comparing, & contrasting," of good & bad welds. Perfect.
When you learn more in 10 minutes than in hours of welding videos. This vid is old but pure gold.
so true
A lot of videos in the 40s were like this nothing flashy but you appreciated the value. A different social structure in those days. Seriously a lot of videos in that time had a very informative man in the video.

I totally agree.
Check out the YT channels PublicResourceOrg andJeff Quitney

My friend, where is new video by that "serios institutions" at least the same educational quality?
1942 and still one of the best videos ive seen
Even in russian youtube nothing worthy
Whole new appreciation for welders. Truly an art.

These old videos are more straight forward and informative than the new ones
These old vidoes are really good they get straight to the point no excessive chit chat
I'm amazed!!! The arc shots are so much better than any modern welding training video
Indeed
Better then any video out there today??? You must not watch Wed.com
Or "Welding tips and tricks" with Jody. They both have awesome arc shots.
This is a great film for sure, I love it, Not even close to the quality on the two channels I mentioned. Just saying. Jim
learnt more here than the current arc welding videos
Straight to the point, no bullshit 👌

Absolutely the best welding vid I've seen. The attention to detail and thoroughness is so far ahead of the kind of thought put into modern media.
That's just awesome! Love those old training movies.
Just started home training on stick welding and can't believe the clarity of both picture and technique directions this video gives ...1942! Must have been a great year for welders lol!

I'm a welding newby and this film makes it look very easy. Thx for the upload.

One of the best lessons I've ever seen.
Older videos are showing better instructions than nowdays videos
Awsome video, thanks for uploading. Keep this vintage instructional footage coming!
noticed than they use incredible technic to shoot welding, with very wide dynamic range.
what fantastic arc shots , as good as anything folk can get today , infact a lot better than most ,,,,,, amazing how little has changed
I watched about of many welding videos ... but this one is the better ... no this is best... i learn much...
This is so old and yet very informative I like it
The best welding video I watched...
Lincoln built those SA machines that had 2 dials on them. They were tube shaped on 4 wheels. They were and still are the most bitchen machines. They say they are super expensive to make and that's why they don't make them anymore. They also require a lot of skill in getting them adjusted right.

I have been practicing stick welding with my PowerArc welder and this video has been very helpful. Thanks
Great shared material miSci! 🔥 Thank you! 💯
Prob best welding video I've seen. I'm defo saving this and showing the tutor
Best arc shots on youtube.
My great uncle grew up sharecropping with my grandfather. He moved to Cincinnati in the early 50’s, lied about knowing how to weld, and became an award winning welder at GE that worked on jet engines
After i watched that video, i got the courage to have one... Now I'm good at it... Thanks...
these old films get right to the point and dont add any fluff like you get today in welding videos
From 1942 and better then any modern video
Best arc welding vid on here
B Stevermer espiron juste
great video straight to the point and very informative can help alot for those who are learning to weld
one of the best tips for welding
Awesome old video. Sometime they are the best!! Well explained!
Excellent video that is still true today. Jody at Welding Tips and Tricks does a great job as well.
It's because of Jody that I ended up buying an Everlast welder and am taking up welding! Jody is one of the best.
In a word----> Old is Gold ;)
This film reminds me of the videos they showed us when I was in welding school in the Army 83/84.
I passed my EN-287-1 15 years ago, 1st time I've seen this and it's good - we all keep learining!
In 1959, SA200, Old School Welder taught me in the oil fields back then. He had a way of doing it that's worked for me all these years. Old School is the way. He'd been welding since 1940.
I love how they talked back then
He sounds like Lee Stoneking . UA-cam him 👋
Sooooooooooo informative! The year is 2020 as I watch..
Обалденно. А ведь Голливуд снимал.
А самое интересное, что электроды и инструменты точно такие же как сейчас!
Awesome! Straight forward knowledge from 1942.
Some of the "expert welders" in YT should watch this before giving lessons... just saying.
wish there was more videos like this
Thanks. I never thought i have to watch from -42 for guide ....
I miss stick welding with my powerarc welder now. Bit of a pain to learn but pretty fun once mastered.
best welding video ever
I learned something today thank you this is been the best video so far
Thank You for this video. This is very important film about welding for me.
I learned from this in 2014.
This was a great Video!!! Old School for sure!!!!
Amazing shots of the arc for its time. Most videos cannot accomplish this now! I also find it interesting that this is in colour. Do you think it was upgraded later on, or was it filmed in colour?
Wow, great video! thanks for uploading.
Classic footage. And so to the point.
Does anybody knows title of soundtrack at the begin? That's cool!
I wish i could find more old movies like this. I have seen also "Around The Corner - How Differential Steering Works (1937)". The same good examples, the same simplicity, why it's wrong to teach like this today? All of sceenes are so simple and clear, without computer simulations.
General electric made the best welding films I ever saw
Why was his second pass done on top of the first one? Middle, bottom, then top.
Jordan Brown I was just wondering that too. Always middle, bottom, then top. Horizontal fillets and grooves, and overhead fillets
Benetton Treviso who knows maybe they didn’t think it mattered back then lol it’s come a long way
@@JBguitar-cj8pc I think its like pipeliners(weld downhill) vs boilermakers(weld uphill).....I think he might get more heat into the part for a better weld the way boiler welders go uphill for more penetration. Then again they said it was 6010 so maybe it was so fast freeze that it didnt matter.
How did they get those arc shots? You can see the surroundings and we’ll as the weld pool very clearly.
I also wanna know, every welding videos from that era are so much quality and Idk how they did that
How are their arc shot so much better??
I found that 76 years old video becomes very useful even today in 2018. I wish we could have the 2018 version please let us know if you have any of that :D
thanks you have said what was in your mind but what have you done to show to the world or your your once
Don't just say stupid thing to other if you dont truly know who they really are okay ?
What I 've said got nothing to do with you and moreover, it's just a blessing for the owner of the video. because I appreciate that their work. and what I did is just asking them or giving them some suggestions for a better one.
Thats a great vídeo, and it tells you the basics of welding in a few steps, awesome😳
pancho lopez yes ok
Why would you start your second bead at the top, why not at the bottom on the base metal.
weld at 3:18 didn't penetrate the bottom and has a visible fault that runs in the horizontal position. you can see the bead sitting on the bottom. I'm just in my 2nd semester of college for Weld/Fab. so good on me for seeing that EH!! ;)

Nice video!!! Very informative
Good video even though it is so old. It is still applicable for my new everlast inverter welder.
I want to learn how to mig weld better and then move to stick welding once I order my PowerMTS 250S. It is amazing how such an old film has so much useful information even today.
1942 de renkli yayın mı vardı? Yoksa montaj mı?
That's damn clean than the latest ones tbh
I thought that you weld on the bottom toe of the root bead? What electrode was he using?
You definitely do. Not sure why he went from bottom to top. It’s a 6010.
does anybody know the title of the soundtrack at the begin?
running drag technique on 6010? its deep penetration you should use something like a whip and pause technique, especially for the root.
+aaron jones whip and pause only for open root i usually do small cicles or drag 6010 on a joint like this but if ur planning to do pipe welding i definitely recommend whip and pause for everything so u can practice for an open root
+MR t yeah thats what I've been doing for the 2g and 5g pipe I've been practicing, we're working on 6010 from root to the cover and we will whip and pause for the root and we do long arc "lilly pads" for the hot pass and weave for the cover. 5g weave covers and 2g stringer covers, Just working on skill development. So many different ways to accomplish the same thing, its a beautiful thing. I think of it as art pretty much!
well done, this is what u call teaching
The travel speed shown in this video is VERY slow, kind of strange. But the video is overall very good.
Thanks for upload this video. I just love it.
thank where can i get better quality
In 1942 he believed that the welding was very rudimentary, because the welding current was not well filtered, and the range of electrodes was very small, leading as I observe it was more a supertitle. However, I like it because there is a quality standard.
Very good stuff... Great Info!
i wish my welding mask lens was as clear as them arc shots .. very clear
One of the most complex welding methods. Take a lot of time to excel
How can he maintain arc length to millimeter precision from this angle and with all that smoke and light flashes...
Awesome result of video and awesome description got to much of this ..
Excellent vid!
excellent video
Great video, wow!
Great video 😃👍
This video quality & age makes me feel like I'm back in middle school 😂
