Mind Blowing Welding in Super Slow Motion 

That was one of the most educational videos on welding I have ever seen. Of thousands of videos out there on welding, with a regular camera it is still just theoretical. They are not really able "show" what is going on. It is like talking about microbes, without a microscope. 👍

Senior welder of 45+ yrs. Excellent slow motion videos of different welding processes. Absolutely interesting. Thank you for your efforts of the filming and production. Educational by all means.

I feel like a lot of welding classes would benefit from watching your amazing video. This is top notch quality. A+

This is like the National Geographic of welding videos. Absolutely stunning! Thanks Tim

That was freakin’ amazing! Thanks!

That was amazing. Thanks Tim. Do more if you can. I wonder if you did a video on each (MIG, TIG, Stick) and if you could capture the common mistakes and show what is happening, Might help some people to understand why and get the process better ingrained in the mind before striking the arc.

Absolutely fantastic footage Tim! Keep up the great work and we all thank you!

WOW this is amazing. Definitely one of the coolest welding videos I've ever seen. It's crazy how you can't see the arc at all.

Top quality video. For us non welders really shows how it all works and what happens when it doesn't!

Your super slow- mo footage of the weld pool was definitely fascinating. I've been staring at a welding arc for 30yrs and I am still mesmorized at what happens every time I strike up, regardless of what process I'm using. Great video. Thank you for your hard work and sharing it as well. Stay safe and God bless.

Hands down the absolute BEST video of the welding processes that I've seen in quite awhile! The slo-mo allows regular people that don't understand these principles to really see how things work, especially in the Tig process with the Aluminum and cleaning/contamination. Awesome video man, you never fail to please! 👏👏👏

I never thought I would see something this incredibly educational and useful for free. Thanks so much for coming up with this idea and doing it and sharing it with us!

Fantastic video! CWI and instructor here. I plan on showing this video to my co-workers and students.

This was so enlightening to actually be able to see exactly what happens without distortion to the point of being in art form. Definitely a first for me. Awesome, Thank you.

That was great Tim ! Daym, I just started mig and gasless welding for car DIY stuff and my skills are getting better after probably just under half a year, though watching that REALLY shows whats going on internally and its change the mental model in my head of what happens when I weld. Hopefully this allows me to improve even more now. As a self learning guy, when you use the mig gun, you just imagine sticking to peices of metal together with some heat and glue (the filler metal), but seeing how the puddle forms, how it gets drag and what happens when you make a mistake really helps !

I just had my first day of welding school today and RU-vid randomly recommended this excellent video to me this evening. I was very glad to see welding from this perspective and I feel like I understand it way more. 👍

Mind blowing and so educational on how metals react with DC or AC. Mig short arc is also very interesting and we can sometimes see bigger globules laying out into puddle. Would be super if you could still shoot spray arc and pulse spray and possibly Tig brazing too. Thanks very much for sharing

I've been a backyard welder for decades and have taken some classes over the years. If I had seen this when I started welding it would of helped so much. This view of welding is super informative.

The Chinese have a proverb: one picture is worth a thousand words. It turns out that one video is worth a MILLION WORDS. Especially for a careful observer! ESPECCIALLY SLO-MO like Yours!!!! Your video, although short, told me more about welding techniques than all the lectures I have ever heard!!! This video should become a MANDATORY element of every welder training.

Wow, thanks algorithm for FINALLY sending me something constructive rather than mind-numbing garbage. For the first time, i can fully understand the differences in welding. Without a doubt the best welding video on the net. Impressive! Thanks Tim!

This has to be one of the most insightful videos regarding welding out there. Thank you!

Absolutely magical to see all the fluctuations, frequencies, noise and phase shifts in the process. You were able to produce so much more, than you thought out of this experience! Thank You!

That was really cool slowmo to see especially for us newbie welders. 👍

Awesome footage and explanation! I’ve never welded, but I’ve spent way too much time on RU-vid so I have an okay understanding of the different types of welding. But this video clearly demonstrated and solidified a lot of the concepts I’be picked up on over the years. Awesome stuff!

Anyone studying welding, or that is already a welder would benefit from this video. It's great to see up close and slow motion how the beads form and flow. I don't weld never have but I would think it would.

By far the most visually informative welding clip I’ve ever seen. I just got my first fcaw machine from my dad so I have been gathering what I could to better understand what’s all entailed and just a bit more of an informative than instructional based inquiry but this paints a very vivid picture of what a weld is and how it forms. I genuinely think that knowing the process can really help you implement techniques etc. so thanks a bunch tim

That was absolutely mesmerizing. This is the most rewarding video that's ever turned up in my feed. Learning to weld makes riding a ferry boat a whole 'nuther experience!

It would be cool to see typical welding mistakes in this slow motion format.

I have never welded myself, but i found this fascinating, anybody teaching welding needs this footage to help explain what is going on in the different techniques. Larry

Really awesome video. I’d love to see videos like this for typical things that go wrong as well.

Best welding video on RU-vid. The most important thing I learned in my college TIG class was "to watch the weld pool flow". This video gives a much better view of that, but this is exactly what you are looking for. The day you start looking at the weld pool is your first day of actually welding metal.

thanks dude. im a newcomer to welding (never welded ever), and this tour through the main types of welding & what they actually do was super helpful. nothing like a demonstration / example to make it so much simpler to grasp. cheers.

It's pretty remarkable looking at an old welding textbook, from well before this sort of video was possible, yet the smart people who came up with this stuff already knew exactly what was happening and describe it pretty much perfectly.

This video will become the “standard” for all welding classes as well as for any “newbie” welders. Thank you for the education in welding.

This is great! I'm not a professional welder but I do occasionally stick a few pieces of metal together at home. This really helps me better understand what's going on and I'll see if that translates to better welds!

Amazing video and at 51 yrs old I learned a lot. I've never welded but been around my father welding when I was young. Back then, he stick/arc welded and gas welded. I never knew how TIG or MIG worked until today! I immediately shared this with my son (16). I love the high speed and clarity of the closeups with your voiceovers clearly explaining what I was seeing. Thanks for this.

years ago. when I was learning how to weld videos like this would have been a great blessing to me. I'm it's amazing! and I'm very happy that future welders will be able to see this. I love . please keep it up❤

This has to be one of the most useful, educational, and important videos ever made. We need people to understand the basics of manufacturing to appreciate it. Keep up the great work.

WOWZERS!!!, This is one of the greatest educational welding videos on RU-vid. Thank you Tim.

Throughout my career on various construction projects, from overhead linework construction to commercial solar, welding has always been interesting. I recall once, way, way back when high schools still offered VOTECH, if anyone else remembers those types of programs, long gone now; I spent an entire day learning about welding and several frustrating hours of trying my hand at stick-welding. I was never very good at it and it just kind of fell by the wayside as my interests changed and evolved. This video was fantastically educational and informative. Now I know what a bead looks like as it's being applied. Very appreciative of the opportunity to see it in action. I learned more about welding in this 9-minute video than I have before. Good welds are as much art as science and experience.

MY God!!...Amazing content!!...THis should be shown in all technical welding schools!!...Great work!!

I could watch slow motion aluminum welding all day. So beautiful. Excellent/educational video brother

Sick footage bro! I feel like I can weld anything now. I've never welded a day in my life but this video has convinced me that I have what it takes. Technically, it would be legit for me to claim I have 1000's of hours of experience with various forms of welds yes? Yes. I knew you all would agree. Thanks again for making this instructional video/vocational curriculum for those of use who can"t afford to go to school. I have the money, it just gets in the way of my music career. I was Joan of Arc in my former life.😐

That was neat to see. Understanding how it all works is very beneficial.

Absolutely 100% the very best welding video on the internet. I’m going to save this video and the next time I’m tasked with teach a new hand I’m going to show this to him or her! I can’t even tell you how excited I am about this video.

Awesome. Bravo. Thanks. Had a welder drop a helmet and stick in my hand, and said weld back in 1983. Larry Parker is his name, was 50 at the time, I was 22 working as a maintenance man and Dulles Marriott.

Fantastic video. Thanks. I recently retired from a >50 engineering career where I often had to draw and specify metal vessels. I learned how to weld steel in order to be able to design better but I never could weld Al. Al would just melt into a mess every time for me. I have tremendous respect for good Al welders. Really wonderful video. Thanks.

Thank you for making this! I only do stick welding, so was relieved when you showed that. But now I would feel confident to give Mig and Tig a try.

Really shows in truth how superior TIG is for critical welds and just how chaotic MIG is. Amazing footage;

Absolutely stunning! Phenomenal footage of what's actually happening.

That was excellent work Tim. The images look like those examples in my textbooks, but they’re usually illustrations and not photos, sometimes a cut weld after the fact. Congratulations on reaching 300k. We’ll be here with you as you hit 400k and beyond.

oh wow!! I can understanding welding so much better now!! I have this visual representation to draw from. Bravo on such an exceptional and inovative way to show welding, thank you Tim!

The guy before me said it all, seeing what's happening in slow mo is very helpful. I learned much from this video ,please produce more !

Amazing footage!! Thanks so much for showing us this process.

I've never welded using these tools, although I thought about doing so. The footage and details here are incredible!!! Well done!

Fascinating to see how fluid the puddle is, with the arc force from the tungsten pushing and holding a dimple in the top of the puddle. Thank you!!!

A dedicated welding lens and light system would make welding so much more accessible. You are right about the limited view of welding with a traditional welders mask.

WOW! Great footage! Thanks for sharing this Tim.

Incredible. Thank you so much for doing this! I see welding all the time but this answers a lot of questions. Soooo great that you would do this. Thank you so much.

I've rarely said this in ANY of the 30 or so total comments I've made re: RU-vid videos I've watched in the last five years: AWESOME video and explanation. Very helpful. Well done, Tim.

Slow mo makes welding look so different, absolutely awesome. Thank you for sharing

Incredible photography. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic video! Thank you so much. You will have just changed my skill level through a deeper understanding.

Absolutely by far the best welding video I've ever seen. Awesome job.

That was so awesome! Great footage -- as others have said, you don't really understand everything thats happening until you see it in slow-mo!!

Very informative! Thank you for producing this video.

This video is amazing and will be very helpful for new welders everywhere so they know what is going on when welding and not just pushing the puddle around. Thanks!

The is the best video ever produced! All welding schools and programs need to watch this. You did a phenomenal job A++

This is a great video, one of the best welding videos IMHO, thank you for producing and posting it. I am going to bookmark it for future reference and to share with others when these topics come up. Bravo!!!

Unprecedented clarity, thank you!

That was great! Fascinating to see what is actually happening while you weld.

Absolutely fascinating to watch ! Thanks

One of the most amazing videos I've ever seen. A must for any welder or metallurgist or physics buff. Ty. Subscribed.

This is the absolute best welding footage I have ever seen. Well done!

Absolutely amazing video, thanks for sharing!

That was a fantastic bit of learning and photography. Thanks so much Tim. Look forward to your next as I did with the last video.

WOW BROTHER!!! This is by far the best welding principles video I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing this footage. A good image really is worth a book of words trying to explain this.

Thanks a lot. Even for an amateur welder like myself, it has taught me something which I will add to my experience. Thanks. Thanks for your time spent on enlightening us all!

Super cool! Thanks for sharing it.

Incredible, this honestly answered every question I ever had about welding

Very nice! This could easily augment classroom teaching and help metallurgist understand what actually happens when three pieces of metal are fusing together.

What an absolutely brilliant video. Thanks

Slow Motion is an important piece of science and I never knew what welding looked like at high speed until now. Great footage.

When doing stuff with your hands and trying to improve, there's always a "just" that you need to do for success, but those tips are pretty arbitrary. Tim, thank you so much for breaking down the process to this extent, describing what is actually happening during welding so that we can determine on our own how our hands need to facilitate that process more successfully.

Very interesting display on welding! I learned a lot! Thanks Tim

VERY good video! Ill be sharing this everywhere.

This was mind blowing! Thank you very much !

Fascinating. I could watch this for hours. Thank you.

This is incredibly helpful for better welds ( and WHY). That’s some impressive camera tech.. Clever you, thank you ! 👍👍👍

I wish that I could have watched this when I was learning 25 years ago. What a time to be alive!

That was incredible. Very cool to see how it all lays down on the workpiece.

Amazing footage. Seeing is believing as they say. Really helpful material to actually understand what goes on as you weld. Thanks 🙏

What a brilliant and amazing video. Helps to dive into what is actually happening during the welding.

Probably the best description of welding I have seen. Nice job.

This video is extremely informative!!! Thank you.

Simply facinating. Thank you.

That video was sick. Thanks for making it.

Fantastic footage and explanation. Very professional! I learned stick-welding (for fun - fantastic to join two metal pieces) through your videos.

This was so informative and I really appreciate your time you took to share this.

Excellent!!! I’ve been waiting for a video this good for years.Thank you for putting in the work!
