How to TIG Weld Corner joints and Lap joints 

I bought a Cornwell caliper a couple years back only for layouts. I was always too ashamed to tell anyone I used it that way. All the ninnies with there "proper tools for the job" and all that. I am glad to know I'm not the only one doing that. Your vids are like commercials, but I can't help watching them because you are a smart one. Thanks for the good tips.

I bought a lot of very useful tools that I've seen and learned watching your channel. I hope wonderful vendors out there are showing some love for all of the helpful plugs. Excellent work on that stand

Very helpful, especially the lap joints without filler. I see what I've been doing wrong. I was just going along a straight line, then I would look back and see that in some places I missed the actual joint! I was too far on one side or the other. So: circles.

Awesome video, very informative. Most tig vids are about aluminium, sure am glad I stumbled across your video on mild steel.

Also, I did my course back in the day with that tig finger. made allot of good welds because of it, especially tube to tube and plate to plate above head. BUT, one day, you'll forget it, or you run out, and that's the day you learn welding like a pro! :)

I don't comment on every video but I have enjoyed everyone of them. I'm learning a lot and I love those different magnetic holders.

Your videos are the bomb! Thx..... Suggest you do one showing the portable band saw stand. Bet I am not the only one that wants to know what you built

Jody... Superb channel. I just picked up a Hobart Cybertig 200 as my first welder... I am getting my feet wet and loving the challenge.

Superb video. I ordered the V-Pads set and also a MagTab. I though of a jillion times where I could have used those ! Thanks Jody !

I've got to where I like all you're videos before I even watch them. Keep putting out good videos thanks sir.

I learn so much watching your videos. Thanks for producing them.

I love your videos and have learned a lot. My powertig welding has improved tremendously.

this was amazing and since I have been getting into welding. I do use allot of your advice and works great for me

Dang. Sold on those magtabs. Gonna look how how much they are. Cool tips and tricks, thanks! $12 for one to 26! awesome.

Jody, Nice finishing touchs to the saw mount! Ok Mr. gaget, your almost causing a shuffel in my mental wants and needs list on tools...LOL... Keith

thanks for all your vids Jody...................can,t wait to try all this!!!

Yes, MagTab are cool. But, be careful MFT10 are the ''small'' version and MFT15 are (much) bigger. Thanks for sharing and greetings from Switzerland!

I ask if you’re touching the part because I looks like you’re breaking away the torch when you pull away, but I can quite tell. It looks great.

As much as I like aluminum, I like it very much when you tig weld steel. I know it's expensive but I would like to see more stainless tig weld.

Got a *Hertz,* there - R.F. burn from the high frequency… Need to get some Tig-Fingers, too.

Good examples on how to do this.

Your videos are very helpful in alot of ways good job bud

always learning something new from your videos! thanks again!

Great Video (as usual) and it inspired me to make a similar table.

Super teacher.

I wish I could get set up they way you are. I weld in my spare time I wish it were my biznes

Thanks Very good stuff. I learn every time

Don't get the strong hand mag tabs too hot, they lose their magnetism. Great for tacks though!

Thanks for sharing! I will check out the Magtabs for sure! John

Nice welder. My relative wants to get one of those Everlast combo welders.

хорошо когда за твою работу платят достойно , у тебя остаётся достаточно средств для повышения качества оборудования и оснастки и как итог повышение качества изготовления продукции . у нас же , в РФ , заказчик чаще платит ровно столько , что дегег остаётся на простенький инвертер , простенькие электроды и заготовку прижать рукояткой молотка , чтоб краги последние не спалить , про аргон и говорить не приходится ...

you doing great job, thank you

Thanks a lot for the video! another one which will for sure help me on the ways learning TIG welding. I have a question that I wasn't able to find a suitable answer to in any of your or other videos online. When you weld a tubing for example and you do the side weld first and the inside weld as last one how to connect those two weld seamlessly, that there is no "crater" afterwards. Your friend Roy demonstrates it by going a bit behind the curve and covering previous weld a bit (video on Welding Distortion Tips), but as you said yourself - he makes this stuff look easy and its not necessary is :) any tip for that? no post current, tacking with filler metal in order not to make a crater on a tack point, etc.. Thanks a lot!

When you welding steel metal, are you using argon or any air?

Hey Jody I have been watching your videos for around 4 months now and I would just like to request some MIG or stick welding videos I am in highschool and just learning how to weld and my Ag teacher is a terrible welder so I'm basically teaching myself with the help of your videos but I dont have access to a TIG welder. If you could sprinkle in a MIG or stick video every now and then I would be very thankful

TFW there is a welding demo in your Stronghand commercial

Excellent instruction. Went in to local welding supply yesterday to ask if they carried your TIG fingers- guy scratched his head- never heard about them. Wanted to know more...LOL. I am going to get one for aluminum- stuff gets hot with a TIG while running test welds. Any tips for outside corners in thin aluminum (16 gauge diamond plate)? My flat plate and butt welds look great with my AlphaTIG200, but my corners look horrible. I am definitely better on my MIG...ugh.

Are you touching the part with your tungsten when you tack?

Great pointers!!

How do you tack without filler metal

Damn. This would've been great a week ago!! Lol as always. thanks for the great videos

I was looking to buy a tig welder and I was wonder what kind you have? I plan to mainly do steel , but aluminum welding would be nice.

Top stuff as usual. Thanks.

thanks for the vid good stuff

what material was being tacked at 2:07 ?

Excelente!

Perfec bro..good job

Learn't allot thanks.

i learned so much! thanks!

Great job, if i might ask you what kind of a saw you used to cut the square steel part

any updates on the power pro 256?

Do you have any tips on stick welding lap joints, I always seem to melt away that top edge and it looks crappy, at welding school we use e6013 rods (I know they are not the best rods but I have no say in what we use), I have tried all types if settings, rod angles and arc length any suggestions?

does the magnet interfere with the tig arc if its too close to were you are welding

Don't you find the magnetic field interfering with the arc?

i really like my mag tabs but i think i killed the magnets with oxy fuel welding too much heat soak so just be careful they dont get too hot

Thanks at last a proper technique video that isnt just "this is how you do and by the way my machine cost 4000 so its a peice of piss anyway"

Not to turn this into a Rorsach test but the mill scale on that end cap at 00:46 looks like a smiling girl

Do you have any videos for left handed welders?

excellent as always, keep it up jody, AND EVERYBODY "LIKE" the video Help Jody out!

Hi, v-pad very usefull tool it seems, sadly i only work with stainless, any suggestions on v pads for stainless? or general tips for holding small objects like bolts etc?

Jody, thanks for these videos, they're like a digital pocket reference...do you have an amperage rule of thumb when washing corners on an outside joint with no filler metal? +10%, something else? Thanks!

I noticed those magnets messed up my arcs...

I had problems with magnets messing with my arc while welding. Doesn't seem to bother you though! Hmm.....

Can you help me make better gasless mig welds?

I get it a lot actually

Thank God I’m tough 😂

does the magnet throw off the arc?

where can i buy the magnetic welding holder?

TO complit well this video,it must provide tickness of plate an amperage settings to do this welding ,it'd be helpfull to the viewer.

Fig weld? you mean fcaw?

Too bad magnets don't work on aluminum...

Kinda looks like' U-na-strut' with magnets. Hmm...

7:36

👍😀

strong hand is no good for stainless and no good for Aluminium.

Your channel is called welding tips and tricks. But the way you tag... you put your tungsten on the metal so it always sticks to the metal?! With all the bad things that comes with it.

ওওও

Do NOT use a caliper as a scribe!

++++

there is a womens face !!!

There are no tips or tricks just a long fkin advert for some shit most people can't afford
