Memories of welding school at Hobart in Troy, Ohio - where they make the machines. One of the best welding schools in the world. They knew how to turn out welders from raw recruits. This video shows proper arc gap very well. Nice work.
Beautiful 1" test plate, I had to chuckle at all of your comments as you were filling it up, after welding for over 45 years, ( now retired), and full penning welds on plate and wide flange beams as heavy as 700 lbs a foot, I've done and said everything you have just said to myself as I was filling joints up to a cover pass, always trying to make that Cover perfect, lol, you look like a great welder, hope these young guys and gals pay attention to you, they will learn some good stuff!! Great video, thanks...... and best of Luck to your channel. My GI bill put me through welding school in the 70's. Made a good living all my life, welding is a vital trade for anyone willing to actually work for a Living!
I'm just coming the end of the MIG part of my UK level 2 City and Guilds and after this I can't wait to start stick welding again, loved it on my level 1 course. Just so much sound advice in this video clip, great instruction from an awesome instructor. Thank you 🤜🤛
Every time I watch doesn’t matter the time day or night I wanna go grab my hood and burn some rod!!!! Great informational video. Started a new company about 6mnths ago and had to do my 3G it had been a while since I tested last company I was with for 5yrs. Did a 6G with them but the new company wouldn’t except theirs
When doing these full penitration welds we always preheat and use a needle gun between each pass to destress. Also post heat to to the same. All of our welds are ultrasound tested as well. Been welding for over 35 years, so much poor welding out there! Hopefully your video may help!
Im a young beginner this gave me so much knowledge and actually now seeing it i am eager to start practice this is the video i have been waiting for you guys teach me everything i need to know and learn 💯
i learned how to weld from an old dude back when i was 12, that put gas torch in one hand and a rod in the other and made me learn that first. then i went to stick, Mig and then Tig. he showed me how to weld cast iron, aluminum, anodized aluminum. this old guy from WW2 showed me a lot about welding. an old machine shop reminds me of him. thanks for the video.
Im currently teaching myself how to stick weld as well as mig weld. Your channel and the videos are great and super helpful. Coming from a guy that is literally figuring it out on his own. 👍
Aquí iniciándome en este mundo de la soldadura, mi manejo del inglés es bastante básico, pero logré entender bastante su explicación, mil gracias por el video. Mi prueba de certificación estaa unos días. Gracias nuevamente.
IM 18 AND I STUDY IN SKILLS SCHOOL.well actually it's very hard learning weld but thank god I found this vid.I practice for a lot of time(waist school rod lol)until I found my own style in weld btw thanks
Thanks for uploading the video. I was doing this same with lighter stock in a welding class. From watching you, I had my arms properly positioned, but my face wasn't close enough to the weld. You have your hands just above your ears at the start. I will try to remember that on my next try. I am getting a better helmet to see the outline of the weld too. I had trouble seeing the edges of the metal bevels using my current helmet. As a result , I wasn't going straight like I thought I was.
Put some strong backs on the root side, with a mouse hole cut out . Ie two pieces of 12mm thickness flat bar,with a half circle cut out in middle of flat bar , doing this also will stop the plate being tacked on the root. And keep the plate welded more flat ,unless this has been preset for distortion.
There's 8 in our night classes at college and we are all finding it almost impossible to get full penetration on the root weld. It looks like the simplest weld to do!! I've had over 25 attempts on 8" long practice pieces 😮. Going to try this on Tuesday night 😣
@@bubbaslaughter been up, been down, moved fast, moved slow 😂. Passed the course since then, distinctions with a bit of how do you say... Ingenuity?? 😉
I work in a building that has some exposed w-shapes that look to be 1" thick, or close to it. These beams have been mechanically coupled when a connection is required and I always wondered why as there are 4 rows of 9 bolts each sandwichng the beam connection with 1" plates that extend at least 24" each side of the connection. That is literally 24x6x2=72 bolts! I assumed it has something to do with the difficulty in welding members of this size and watching this video helped my understand possibly why mechanical attachments might be favored due the amount of heat this many filling passes generates. Thanks for sharing.
For the time that rod fist strikes till it’s burnt up it’s just you and your little world. Nobody's fucking with you. You’re truly uninterrupted! I love it
Thanks for your video . Before starting, explan about rods, current, machine settings, job positions, and show clear video. Etc good work Thanks so much 🙏
After the hot pass on base metal that thick you need to transition to a 5/32 diameter filler rod. I worked at Newport News Shipbuilding and you would get reamed for welding flat down with 1/8 electrodes. These schools need to teach students to carry a larger puddle and get that joint filled.
I worked at Electric Boat for a few years. The test to get in was a 1” plate, flat and vertical. TIG, I’m old school from the USAF. I would have preferred, 6010’s.
First welder on UA-cam teaching how to weld properly I’ve seen, there is another a white guy but he’s more of tan or shop welding. This guy is as good as me, I’ve been doing these for over 6yrs and have NEVER failed one. I never done guide lines but I guess I’ll try it next time.
Very nice quality welding, the amount of deflection on the test plate is insane, we always put some offset pre deflection on plates of this thickness but I dont think we would have got anywhere near this.
I'm trying to teach myself how to weld, and I really appreciate your videos. There's a lot of fakers out there is what I've found, your channel isn't one of them.
What do you do about the warping on parts this thick, as seen in the video the part comes bowed. Is this where you would use a symmetrical bevel groove so you add even heat on both sides?
After hours of frustration, I got it, maybe it will help others: 1) go slow-feel it biting into the metal, 2) grind a groove and you 'feel' that stick evers so slightly against the metal as you drag it.
I run 1/8 7018 between 150-170. HOT!! But...if I have a gap to deal with, I can slap a 5/32 7018 in and it runs colder and wider. And it it's great like that. A massive gap, Texas Tig!! It's not structural, it's not tested. It HAS to hold. And...it does. I will say, nobody's life depends on it. When I did structure, it's a whole different ball game. Where I'm at now, it's more rush. Weld to expectations. I do miss miss my proper welds. It takes more prep and setup. But it's superior.
With beveled open root, does material thickness really effect Amp settings that much? I was doing 3/8 material with same rod, bevel, same gap and land and 80A was just too hot. Hard to control keyhole. 70A turned out being the ticket. With equal gap an land an bevel the point of penetration is equal in both cases. that means the only difference is heat absorbance from the sides right?
Nice vid. one thing i noticed is you are always favoring one plate with your angle, never the other side. i was always taught to switch sides to ensure good fusion on both plates
Allot of good information here. what I did see that i do not agree with is not grinding the root pass on the bottom of the plate and clamping it down to keep it from pulling the two pieces into a v shape, which appears to have happened.

Been welding for 7 years as of 2022 and I still watch to learn more tricks and help better beads for myself
Never stop learning
@@CodyNovian you are correct sir, and you can never practice to much! Gotta keep that muscle memory lubed up
16 years here and still learning things
welding is a lifetime learning. everytime you weld. you learn. and experience grows.
Do you think you could look at my welds on my UA-cam short?
I just began my welding journey and this is self-explanatory. Thank you so much. Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬

He failed to allow for metal shrinkage as it cools.

Always remember ,hold the sides and the middle looks after it’s self,this reduces undercut works on all butt welds in all positions

Run the amperage just hot enough to before it burns through and turn it down a bit, let the puddle build, use whipping motion if using SMAW
@@mrnobody5567 thanks 👍
Are you supposed to go counterclockwise or clockwise
Turn it up

Good jod idol🙋♂️ im Welder from Philippines🇵🇭thanks tip how to good weld👍
Retired welder 6 yrs still watch weld videos
The power of HEAT !!! 1 inch plate bended like it was made from plastic 😀😀

If I saw this video years ago I wouldn't have quit welding because I still love it😓😓😓
I started stick welding today, wish me luck 🤣
Thank you, now I know how to apply this techniques in our school.
Brawo..👍👍🙏🙏🙏

the 2 plates aren't flat anymore?
Dios los bendiga por compartir el conocimiento . Saludo desde Colombia ..Ibagué
Very nice! 6010 is a more aggressive rod than the 6011 or the 7018 and that’s a nice smooth weld!
very impressive....you are my idol.....
Your videos are very help full please sir upload more videos welding related

Good work,hello from Russian welder’s)
Thank you.
awesome👍👍
nice stick welding🔥🔥
keep it up😎😎
Lovely root run
you did that real well.
After hours of frustration, I got it, maybe it will help others: 1) go slow-feel it biting into the metal, 2) grind a groove and you 'feel' that stick evers so slightly against the metal as you drag it.
I watched your electrode movement, I can learn to weld better after watching your video
thank you for sharing the video
Great video. You’ve earned my sub.
That was amazing. Looks like a robot did those welds...(I guess one actually did! Haha) Beautiful work!!!
Desde Mexico Saludos tengo 16 años compre una elite 200s para aprender a soldar gracias por el video
Straight drag is the move for me on the root !!!!!! But to each there own
How many of us noticed how far the pieces craweled up during the weld.
I run 1/8 7018 between 150-170. HOT!! But...if I have a gap to deal with, I can slap a 5/32 7018 in and it runs colder and wider. And it it's great like that. A massive gap, Texas Tig!!

You put that prop like a fan haha ha ha,
terima kasih.. thanks for yours video..👋
I have my smaw tests coming up hopefully this helps
have you try welding the root wiping it forward ? the 7018 should be run forward so you could see it more better.
Teknik penembusan yang sangat baik..
is it just me or does it look like the two plates went from being on the same plane to really bending in the weld area due to thermal contraction?
And to be honest it kinda hurts me for some reason 😅
Yea, not good
Thank you sir❤️
даже от просмотра спина заболела :)
Thanks. Very informative and instructive.
The video is cool. You can really see what’s going on.
Good job
Nice vid. one thing i noticed is you are always favoring one plate with your angle, never the other side. i was always taught to switch sides to ensure good fusion on both plates
Notice how the plates started off even and at the end one was at 30 degree angle lol?
I am not an expert , nice welding, yet I think you shouldn't let the pieces to bend as they did .
Thank you for sharing this video
good explanation...
The best thing I've ever learned welding is doing it with both hands.
Good stuff 💯
beautiful welds i love this video
very nice man...
I m welder and I m 20 year old i have 4 year experience of welding and after I have welding study and 2 doploma
Good job done 👍
Welding is sp fun, best trade to learn
Been welding since 1972. Years on contracts I can't mention...still,don't mind to watch others weld
Allot of good information here. what I did see that i do not agree with is not grinding the root pass on the bottom of the plate and clamping it down to keep it from pulling the two pieces into a v shape, which appears to have happened.
If you don't grind it between passes there will be a shitload of contamination from slag you have to grind it every time or it will be a shit weld
Should have clamped it tho I can't tell if it's a trick of the camera or not but it looks like it pulled I to a v when i cooled
I like you works
Oorah !!!! Brother 🫡
Beautiful welds only critique is that your plate got too hot and is bowed other than that it's perfect
