Stick Welding for Beginners (SMAW) | Welding for The First Time 

Best one i saw on youtube. Now im a pro

I wouldn't have watched as much but it was enjoying to watch a student make progress and a good teacher sped up. I bought a muti process welder a year ago and have always used mig but thought it would be nice to have stick. I see I have some learning to do. Which I'll enjoy doing as well.

Good video

And how is that at all relevant to this video, who cares what your school did.

@@Mesa877 I just thought it was interesting how at their school they first learn to weld. Day one.

He just hatin cuz he can’t even afford welding school

@@enriiqu30 I went to a scluptural metal school actually hahah learned to forge weld before we ever touched the o.a. tig mig or stick welders. It was definitely no welding school but I was able to learn to run a bead with all types of welders. No where near the instruction I would receive at welding school I am sure. I am not hating, I am just struggling to see why this information is relevant to the video.

Oxy-fuel welding IS "touching a welder"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How's your training bro?

Badass thanks

Brilliant tip!! I will give that a try- thanks

I've been thinking about doing the same thing, so I was wondering how you've been progressing?

@@actual_nonsense to be honest I haven’t had a lot of time or materials to do much. It took a few days of just running sticks along plate to get a feel for it but once I got used to my machines settings and my speed I was able to do what I’d consider fairly decent welds. A cheap auto dim helmet also made a huge difference

Good tip

There are a lot of options out there I would look on Craigslist or Facebook market place and find a decent used tombstone welder

Another way of saying pushing is feeding. You do not want to decrease the arc length. It's not literally pushing the rod to the plate you don't want to make contact. You're just feeding the rod into the puddle

yes

My understanding is that you would use the first technique to lay down “root” to start with, and then the second technique for a “hot pass,” and then the third technique as a “fill” and as a “cap” for finishing. The root would be straight down the middle of whatever you’re welding, the hot pass is right over it, but getting a little more coverage above and below with the motion you’re doing, and then the fills are like a little above and below that. The cap I think is kind of a final pass making sure that the uppermost portion is as secure as possible with no gaps or thinness up top. I think the general idea is that you’re mixing all of these to make stuff as secure and even as possible. If you just used one technique or one pass, you risk failure of the weld over time and stress. That’s what I’ve gathered so far, but don’t take my word as gospel. I’ve only watched a few videos on this.

Do you guys recommend a stick welder as a first time welder for general purpose projects like fencing and working in cars? Or do you recommend a MIG welder? Also, can you recommend a couple machines for the first time buyer??
