Wanted to say thanks Jody, been taking Welding classes through highschool, and just went back after graduation to take my 3G weld test, and passed, in much part thanks to your videos. Look forward to growing as a welder and lord willing putting food on the table. Thank you my man! Keep up the great videos.
I just want to comment to tell you that you really helped me out with my certification. I’m 17 and I’ll be graduating Highschool in 3 months with my new weld certification. Thanks man
Thanks for sharing with us Jody, always enjoy your videos. Just learning to weld at 75 and having fun with what’s left. Been trying for a few years and just now trying to get serious about it.
Going to turn 60 in a few days, doing the same... I hope you are not as hardheaded as I and have sprung for an auto darkening hood. World of difference and gave me new hope.
Hi, sorry for the inconvenience, I am from Colombia and I have trouble translating some words that have to do with welding. I can't find the meaning, could you help me? Saddle bead Main bead Heater bead
I just started welding in high school and I was having trouble about the angle of the rod and this video gave me a really good understanding about of how you can successfully perform this type of weld.
Thanks for your help Jody, you’ve helped my stick welding skills improve leaps and bounds. I can now do vertical and overhead outdoors in the most awkward positions since you can’t always remove the parts when welding on forklifts.
Love your videos pls keep them coming. I watch them sometimes two or three times. Your a great instructor wish I went to welding school instead of college.
I've been running pads with 6010 "until the cows come home" just like you instructed in a different video. Now I'm about to try my hand at t joints. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. Without your channel I would be struggling alot more through the welding program I'm currently enrolled in. A good instructor is worth their weight in gold, if you can find them. Jody is proof they exist.
i did excellent on my padding project ran passes of 9018,7024, 6013 all good but fillet 7018 humbled me , i kept my arc distance the same as i would for other electrodes and i got major arc blow, thanks for this
Always great to go back to the basics! I haven't done much stick in past 12 years almost exclusively mig and aluminum spool gun so I am brushing up, its funny 1st part of my wedding career 1993 to 97 was almost all stick then aluminum mig, mig and spool gun now 23 years back to stick, thanks for sharing, God bless
You make this look easy! Researching how to weld up a receiver tube to a 1" thick steel piece so I can attach that to my F-150 bumper. I have two 3/16" by 3" squares I will weld at 45 ° to the joint. Not going to pull a house with this, but need a 2" receiver for so many other things. All these parts are scrounge except the 3/16" by 3" squares. Thanks again for the great videos!
You are a very good teacher. I have a question tho. How do you manage to eye-ball the previous run and still weld on? Just before the pandemic, while in school, I could hardly see what I'm welding. Actually, the question is, WHAT SHOULD ONE BE SEEING AS THEY WELD? I'm still a student and I just learn from RU-vid until schools re-open.
In class tonight, I used this tutoial on a 6 passes pr side, T fillet weld, flat position, 3/8 inch carbon steel with 7018 Excalibur electrode/ 125 amps, and it started to straightn a few things out. Thank you for this video!
Today I had to plug a square tube, probably 5 inches from the mud (with water dripping from it, as a bit of a bonus). The bottom bead looked like a sack of potatoes. I've been welding for a living for 13 business days and it'd be cool if you did some of the harder positions on the channel!
Hi. I am from Indonesia. Your welding technique is very good, I would like to learn more with you. Please make me a video on how to weld the SMAW + FCAW combination, and please include the translation in Indonesian. Thank you
Man...., you're killing me. I watch as you bring your electrode down for the strike and boom, your off and running. If I did what you did, I'd be frantically wiggling my stinger trying to break off my electrode. How do you do it? you make it look so easy. BTW, thanks for the videos.
paid protesters... LOve your accurate training videos, you; Jody are the main reason i have gotten where i am in my progression to becoming a better welder. i love your humility.
I don't have a weld cert but I work for a company as a welder fabricator and am looking for a better understanding, I know my welds hold under immense pressure but would like a.little better understanding of how I can make it even better
Nice welds. I've learned a lot watching your videos. Thank you. Wouldn't you like to see a little deeper penetration on those welds or is that ideal? I've never did a cut test but I envisioned my weld penetrating a little deeper. Thanks again
So when you acid etched that, I noticed you don't have very much penetration, yes it's bonded multipass, but does that increase strength at the bond by not pushing in too deep?
Awesome vid brother! As I have stated before, Im a mig guy but I just had to replace my old welder that died on me and I bought a Miller Multimatic 215 that I can also stick weld with. Im gonna get me some rods and give it a shot. If you find some time to respond to this I would like to know what you think is a good all around rod for welding mild steel 1/8" to 1/4" thick? Thanks again for the vid. I find myself waiting for them to show up and if one doesnt show for a bit I find myself hoping that all is well for you and the family. Be safe and God bless!
Master welder can I request to you can you show to me what is the correct position or welding of 3g t-join for trade test im from Philippines. thank you master welder.
I need your help , I have a TIG250PAC/DC. HYL welder and I almost have the settings , it is a digital but I don’t know how to set it to weld 1/4 aluminum
I’ve been running 105 amps on about quarter to a third of an inch thick steal and it’s still running weird but the teach said that even 115 amps is to high what should I do?
Great video. I'm curious how you would stick weld a hand railing where the horizontal railing is thicker than the square tubing it's sitting on top of.
hey jody, having trouble with my roots on the 2F. not getting enough penetration. i feel like i need to turn the machine upto 200amps using a 3.2mm 7016 LoHI, electrode positive. welding on 10mm plate . mill scale cleaned off too. not sure where i am going wrong.
Can you do some stuff with stainless rods? 308/309 stuff? I have an issue with porosity at random points in the bead, and restarts are a pain to do cleanly without porosity
PLEASE ANSWER....Hey I have a real question. I got a scratch start and I was wondering, can you put a switch in the powerline to cut the power at the end of the welds????
