How to Mig Weld Sheet Metal Without Warping 🚨 REALTIME demonstration 

Every video Chad does, is an education.

Thanks, these welding instructions are very helpful. The details of the process are important, such as air cooling and short welding time to avoid warping of the panel.

By far one of the best teachers I have watched if you have the abilities to do the welding and cutting fabricating he explains what not to do and I feel this is what novice tech need to know so they can be aware it may happen . Pay attention and don’t let it happen .

Could not be any simpler, but practice does make perfect. Great session Chad and Jolene . Good to see the "role reversals"😊

Very informative. I'm a new welder at 70. Great tips. I feel more confident now. Thank you!

elite teaching. you can tell chad had a superior teacher because of his own teaching style

I'm 64 now and have been working on cars seance 6th grade and I really like his method of doing it! Great job you two!

Bad Chad is definitely a badass on explaining his welding process. Thanks for all the insights.

I know this video is a year old but wanted to say thanks for the detailed instructions. I'm in the middle of a restoration and I've not done much sheetmetal welding. Watching these videos definitely gives me a starting point and a place to start practicing before I weld the panel on the actual car.

I can't tell you guy's how much I'm learning I'm 73 yrs old and just learning the mig process all from your video tks mike videos grt grt job

Chad you are a metal master, your creative ability is superb! Jolene you are Chad's inspiration, keep up the good work!

Love watching your videos, nice to see you teach everything very clearly so that people can totally understand how to do it.

I love it when Jolene shows that anyone can learn to weld if they want to. Sure wish I had found a lady like she is .

Excellent in the detail , patience emphasized..steady but perfect weld .

Came for the knowledge and have watched many videos, but this one hit home as to the level of love, kindness and respect you treat your wife with. Really great to see you two work together and see the encouragement you give her and the interest she has. Enjoyable to watch. Thx

Chad, you showed and explained the welding process very well... Great content!!

Really appreciate the tips for welding. I put them into practice today and zero warping. There are so many useful tips keep up the great work both of u😎👍🏻. Thanks mate

The best tutorial I've seen on RU-vid yet. Thanks for that

Wow, nice job, Jolene you're becoming a top-notch welder, you can actually see you getting better and better in real-time and your confidence building, and Chad as always, very detailed and informative narration and instruction.

That was an awesome video. The technique was perfect. Jolene did a great job and you explained it perfectly. You always make it clear and make sure we remember it. Your a great teacher.

I just found you and your detailed descriptions and background why you are doing what you are doing is priceless. No glossing over things like welder setting, metal guage, heat management strategies in a positve way. Thank you! Fyi: my wife is a pretty good welder and she will like to see another women going at it.

Best show on RU-vid. . every day is a school day

By far he knows what he’s talking about this is how it’s done correctly I have been doing it this way for years. Good job my friends😊😊😊😊😊👍

Great job Jolene and great coaching Chad. You two make a great team and appreciate each others abilities. Love to see how this is coming together.

Lovely job on welding up the panel jolene and Chad. If anyone was having problems warping there panels after watching this video they should know exactly how to do it right now. Keep up the great work the both of you 👍 👏

Fantastic job Jolene! I was getting fine tuned on my MIG welding right along with you! Chad and Jolene, thank you for putting out this content. It's like going to college and it is helping me with my '68 Chevy Nova restoration. Thanks!

Thanks for all you do brother. It is one thing to be able to have the accomplished skill set, but to teach those skills is another level. Awesome work! 👍

I absolutely love watching your videos. You have taught me a ton since I started watching and I absolutely love your calm and patient demeanor. Truly a master of your craft.

You both make a great team! I've never welded in my life and you make understanding the process very clear. Keep it cool and be patient. 11/30/23 Thanks!

I know it's a year late but this is one of the best videos on mig welding that I've seen. And the proof as he showed was in the total penetration. Thank you!

Thanks for the real time welding demonstration. I have read to skip about and use air and to not go too fast. This vid clearly demonstrates how fast one can go. Thanks again.

I was always having troubles welding thin metal until I watched this. I REALLY appreciate the level of detail and emphasis on why why why things are done that way. Thank you so much, Bad Chad! Subscribed and donated.

Awesome teaching Chad and great job Jolene. I would certainly enjoy being taught to weld by Chad!

Great video. Questions - 1) What size wire are you using? 2) What is the gas set at?

Good lesson there. Jolene nailed it. Getting to see process up close and not rushed very helpful for a novice. Thanks

Great informative video. I’m a novice welder and this has given me more insight and confidence than nearly all the other welding instruction videos I have watched. Thank you!

I love watching your videos, you always make the details clear so people can fully understand how to do it. How big is your workspace? ?

Smart ! I TIG and his instructions saved me a headache. You can lay rod between the gap instead of blowing holes.

Everytime I watch you I learn something new and you have helped me a lot with welding tips and tricks thank you keep up the amazing work

Thank you Chad & Jolene. Learning how to weld is enjoyable watching the professionals.

Thank you so much I feel so much more confident to do some rust repair after watching this video both your teaching and student show how to make a job easier 😊

You've made a good sheet metal welding tutorial! You remind the viewers about controlling the heat over and over. Then you sum it up at the end saying anyone can do this to weld any panel if you control the heat. I really like the double-tap trick, that you start out with when you are doing the spot welds. You say "put some meat on it and then burn it in". I got the sheet metal bug a couple years ago when I decided to do something about some cracks in a shovel. Of course I burned through a bunch of times, having been trained to run a bead. It didn't help that I was using 3/32" 6011 with a stick welder. But after two winters with time for University of You-Tube instruction, I am pretty confident with 14 & 16 gauge. I still use 3/32" 6011 stick. Smaller stick is just too expensive and too hard to find. But I love the 6011, it penetrates really well, but also freezes really fast. If you strike the arc, create a puddle, then immediately break the arc, & move 6 inches down the line, you can make it work. This year I'll make a run at 18ga., and I bet your double-tap technique will come in handy. (6011 penetrates really well so you don't to leave a gap, like you show in your butt-weld video) Thanks for the video, and keep makin'.

It's really good to see Jolene welding, it looks like she really knows what she is doing !

I know this is an old video, but thanks for taking the time for creating this content.👍

I know some of these videos are old, but thank you for them. This is the best instruction for a beginner like me.

I watched your video of the Gap vs No gap. And this. I want to thank you for producing the best video on sheet metal welding.

A great instructional series and film work is excellent. Thanks Chad and Jolene!

Thanks Chad for the mig tutorial with the Mrs and yourself! Great instruction and insight!🍻

A very teachable moment. Thanks Chad and Jolene

I like this bloke I’ve only seen him twice now a very good teacher I’m going to start watching,Robbo from Australia 🇦🇺👏👍 very respectful also

Jolene, for not doing welding every day you did a fantastic job on that panel. I hope Chad is as proud of you as we are. Great job. Bill

What a great teaching approach. Great explanation of the variables and good to see the student responding to the instruction, it feels like it's more helpful then a simple show and tell.

I agree that bad Chad does things the quickest way and does them very good. However, sometimes I am doing a project that I am in no hurry to complete and taking my time and showing my grandson how I do it etc. etc. etc. !! It’s a great binding time in the shop with no pressure whatsoever and enjoy the process. If I wanted to push cars out like bad Chad does I would definitely follow his advice. Thank you very much bad Chad and Jolene for sharing your process and knowledge with me !! ❤️

Thank-you seeing you teach her has help more than just watching you.

Thank you for this - your demonstration has helped me a great deal to visualise how to tack and keep things cool. Great job.

Nicely done! I sometime use a glove with 1/2 the little finger removed! Saves takin the glove on and off repeatedly to check for heat and my little finger is usually curled up and out of the way! Works for me! Nice video! Thx!

Honestly glad i ran across this episode, i was blowing through fender were previous owner had damaged it. Had to flatten out and fill slide hammer holes. I was gonna try brazz weld because blow through. Had no idea to try air between beads. Ty

Good job Chad explaining the fundamentals involved in welding a panel on acar,and your student aka Jolene is doing a terrific job well done guys

Overlapping can potentially be visible in the paint, even if perfectly flat. Also the overlap presents an opportunity for moisture to condense inside the fender.

I like the summary at 37 min in. Repetition is the mother of all skill. I learned the 4 dots after initial tack.

Jolene did a fantastic job. She has a good teacher 👍

Wow ! Best panel welding tutorial EVER ! I mean it if watched a lot of vids mate ! Top job ! Jo is an ACE ! Well done and thank you guys

Jolene is doing great her welding looks very good, Chad is the professor today!

Thanks for sharing, really appreciate it. One could practice doing this on scrap metal before diving into project. Appreciate your teaching.

Really liking the way this thing is turning out, I don’t really see the vision when y’all first started it but I do now

One of the best explanations I’ve seen, very detailed.

one of the best fabricators i have ever seen

From seeing this I have taped my air gun to my MIG! Instant Cooling! Its right on it! Don't have to reach for it! Thank you for your instruction, you are the best!!!

Thanks for the real-time examples of how to do the “bump” weld. Good stuff.

Excellent job Jolene and Jolene is always Smiling

You're a very good teacher. I really appreciate you.

nice to see Jolene show her talent!

Jolene welding hair nets.she needs one.Great job girl.

Outstanding demo. Great instructions from Chad, and excellent job by Jolene. I wish I could do as well.

Another great tutorial. 👍 By now I almost feel like I can weld sheet metal like a pro. But I miss the welder, the mask and everything else... 😅 Great job guys. Greetings from Switzerland

Amazing video, 🎉 thank you!! Silly question, why not rig a ceramic or titainium air tip with ceramic mount right above the nozzle shroud with a solenoid on the air gun, wired trigger pull off (if you like) with a contact switch just at or inside the base of the trigger. Then when you let off the trigger you will get nothing, and as you release more, you will get air right at the position the gun tip is pointing. That means you cool quicker, and don't clumsily have to grab the air with the left hand??? You also don't lose position if you look away. You can also adjust the trigger pull as full release is nothing, short pull is air, medium pull is air off, so you won't blow a hole right after letoff feed, when the weld is still red hot, and full pull is feed. I'm probably missing something in the art, just an observation!! 🎉 Thanks again!!

Thank yyyooouuu, I am working on do this exactly. The butts are aligned but a couple places there’s a hair line gaps. But I couldn’t have happened too catch this video of your instructions any more perfectly timed. I watch your videos all the time, that you both.

I'm getting the hang of it ! Just from watching Chad I'm actually getting the hang of it !Thumbs-up Jolene and Chad 👍

U make make it easy for us to learn by listen and watch ing u mostly

Thanks Chad and Jolene! I watch every day

you give very direct directions. thanks bad Chad

Thanks chad for taking the time to show us that amazing work. Thanks for the video Jolene

Great tutorial- like this process. Enjoying watching the steps to this project. Great job guys!

Real time really puts things in perspective.

thoroughly enjoyed seeing Jolene doing the work. and you have done a good job as the teaching. i was a school teaching and still enjoy teaching and instructing my soldiers now in my mechanic shop. thats what NCOs do, Train and Lead. AIRBORNE! someday, i will make it there to Nova Scotia...and perhaps visit yall. ciao

Had to take a "refresher" since in 50 yrs I haven't done much sheet metal work. WOW did I learn something!! AND FULL PENETRATION! Thank you! subscribed!!

Absolutely fantastic tutorial. Thank you Chad.

Good Morning CHAD & JOLENE it's really good of you chad to inspire jolene to do some more welding it keeps her interested in the project well done Jolene well taught by CHAD

excellent demonstration.

Good job lads, really helpful. Use the knee pads if you don't want problems with knee's

Love watching and learning. Thanks for the hard work you two

Thanks for another lesson great to see Jolene on the welder 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I would love to take classes from this guy

Big thank You to you both...learned lots

Great technique. Great teacher. Gives me more confidence in butt welding. Thanks Chad & Jolene

Makes it look like I can do this. Great tutorial and sound reasoning.

Great advice... just gotta get my weld settings right and practice😂

Hey Chad & Jolene you make me Happy , my brain loves your show 🤟🤟

Great information. Chad is a patient and very good Teacher. This is skill that took many years of trial and error.

Great job demonstrating and reinforcing the techniques. Have you ever considered securing a magnet to the side of the air blow gun so it is able to be easier to grab more quickly?
