SMAW 7018 Horizontal 2F Tee | Welding Tips & Tricks  

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.

"One test beats 100 opinions" pure wisdom Jody. Thanks for years of excellent 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

Man, Jody, you have the best videos for showing the actual weld through the camera lense through a welding lense.

4:08 Jody does electrode manipulation the same way I do sit ups, super tiny, in my mind, you can't hardly even tell!!!

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.

One of the best tutorials I’ve seen for beginners like me. Thanks.

Your Arc shots look amazing Jody. It's fun watching the progression of the videos over the years. Glad to be along for the ride

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.

Love it...Jody admits using mind powers to manipulate rod! Knew you were super human! Thanks for teaching me how to make a living welding aluminum.

I’m in school now and this helped me tremendously. Subbed! Thank you!

You ever just love or miss welding that you come to these videos and just watch a pro at work. Just me??

That was a great video Jody! Thank you! Be blessed my friend!!!

Thank you Jody,your advices are videos are Gold for us who love good weldings. You are a Great Professional!

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

Learned more here In 5 mins than I have the last 5 weeks on the job training.👍🏽😎💯🍻

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!

Thanks Jody, I find the information and your clear delivery excellent for improving my technique.

Thank you I am a student at Tulsa Jacksonville location and your videos help a lot

wow...awesome...I'm a newbee to welding...but have become schooled enough to appreciate a great stick weld video...the penetration is remarkable...

Thanks for sharing Jody...It is always a pleasure to watch and hear your tutorials!

I will hear your voice In my head while welding tonight ..."things are going pretty well".

By far best arc shots on RU-vid

Perfect timing, just picked up a Lincoln AC-225 for a song and some 7018. Time for some edumakation!

I have nothing but miler machines in my highschool still learning to run good bead s

Jody Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, They are always of the highest quality. Pete M

Thanks to you, I learned to make argon welding, thank you very much and I wish you success.👍

and he did it all with one arm only, what a guy.

Great tutorial, I’ve just started stick and I only slightly have the hang of it

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!

thx for the video. I love stick welding because you can see much better what you've got. Cold MAG beads are the worst of all.

best instructor on web, great work, keep the vids coming

The man knows how to Weld ! 👍🏻😎

I love this it wall help me get good 👍👍

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

Good instructor

Awesome video!!! How do you know, immediately, if you’re too hot or too cold? Asking for a friend 😬

when will you make the 6GR position welding video ...? waiting

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.

Who's the one single idiot that gave this a thumbs down perfect information

That was nice to watch, Thank You for your time!!!

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

Great to see a new video, Jody.

ain't nothin like some good ol' stick welding ^^

Could you share which solvent to use when cleaning your weld

Is there any benefit to running a 2.5mm 7018 root pass? Great video by the way. By far the best close up shots of a puddle I have ever seen. Respect

Sir please make weld fillet position 1f

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?

Thanks for the tips!

Thank you 😊

So the second weld will cover 2/3 of the the first weld then the third only covers half of the second weld?

This was one of the first things that I had to do in my first college welding class.

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!

thank you for sharing your knowledge!

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.

Me da que ahi pocos contagios en latinoamerica debería de aver muchos más usteds seguir

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 have a question for you. Does the flow of electric through a Welding cable effect the metals in our blood if draped over the shoulder???

Thanx for this i info.

Not bracing is insane ngl. Outperformed me by a landslide without even propping up

I just did a 1st practice run

Awesome! Great tips

why does the tight arc make the electrode angle more forgiving? great video as always:D!

Hey jody can you make a video about Stainless 308-L arc welding..

Congrats on 800k

Sir How to avoid slag inclusion. In 2f position

My slag is very hard to break of like concrete. What’s the issue?

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?

Wow it's a best fillet weld

In V butt weld, what is the sequence of multi pass ?

good lesson, thanks..

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.

Thanks for another great video, Jody. What does the long-arc accomplish on the restart?

Can we get a video on welding so 1x1x1/8th aluminum square tube keeping it square when welding and warpage free?

hello sir, please make a way of welding 6g smaw using 7016 root wire, thank you greetings from indonesia

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.

Thank you.

Hi I’m starting welding at school, who to avoid my hand shake a lot ?

El mejor Maestro un saludo

Is it good, or bad joint?

Is it true that a 5/32 electrode or larger would penetrate much deeper for single pass weld ? Thanks

Great work 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

Should I wave ?

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

What size is the electrode?

Hello, Can i ask you 1 question ? What code number electrod you make 2F ?

Thank.

Thanks Jody

You the man Jody 👊🏻🍻

Great stuff!😎🏋️

Can i please know what Chemical substance is used in this test ?

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????

nice year
