TFS: Stacks and Dabs 

Dear RU-vid, I am writing to report TFS for stealing my video and uploading it on his channel. The bad lip syncing was really funny, I'm going to steal that.

I got the TOT vibe immediately with the audio edits & the "hand talking". Nice touch!

This Old Tony has mad editing skills and a style all his own. I got the tot reference 5 seconds into the video...great job!

Someome has been watching this old Tony. Lol

Great video and demonstration Justin! And, yes, I watch TOT faithfully too! Both of you do a very good job of entertaining, teaching, and amusing us!

I love how the channels I watch all seem to watch each other

Man, at first I thought maybe you and TOT had some beef going! Super glad to see it is an homage, and a right fine one at that. You never disappoint, sir. Thanks again for some great information, and for sharing your knowledge.

I got the reference about 10 seconds in, love it! This Old Tony is a legend of RU-vid, makers, and hobbyists alike!

Thanks mate for taking the time showing me around your studio yesterday. Fabulous job you're doing. keep up the great job. Cheers

Justin, as a fan of ToT, I picked up the style right away. Thank you both, This video was awesome to watch.

I see an overwhelming amount of ToT type photography and style of scenes. And I love it.

Great comedy and education. Thanks for both channels guys. Love watching both of you.

You said it right! Dont be afraid to learn it, it might be expensive and frustrating learning to weld at first, but it was worth it. I do it as a hobby now, and it took a lot of time learning, going to some classes, etc. i just bought what i could in the beginning and slowly bought a better machine. I have been watching your series during the covid period and have come a long ways, ! Thank you again!

I've seen many of your videos. Stumbled across this one today. And it's hilarious. Right away I knew. I watch both of you. Disnt know other welders were so close. This is great. Made my day lol.

I honestly hadn't watched a ToT video yet. Now I have two favorite YT channels and can't seem to get anything done. THANKS A LOT~!

Keep up the good work young man im 59 just started learning to tig weld about 2 years ago i have the prime weld 225 been doing the job . I have learn a lot from you . I been mig welding for 40 years and still at it restoring cars truck ex building frame and and hotrods and such . So thank you for doing great to the point videos.

This old Fabricator doesn't have the same ring to it.

great video and very good to see just how you did each type of weld. definitely one for book marking for future reference.

Justin, I really enjoyed this, the humor was not lost on me! Well done sir!

all jokes aside, after watching countless of your presentations and those of other expert welders, I’ve learned one of the characteristics of a great welder is the guy who thinks “I can do better. How/what do I practice to improve my work?” Great video, Justin!

Oh man now that was funny as hell. Keep up the great work and videos. Alan Alda quieting his torch cooler machine lmao

Lmao that was funny. When you grabbed your soda I was rolling..Good job on that it’s not easy to stay in script. Jeff is the man. It’s all about stacks and dabs.

This Old Tony would have said seeing your face is for patrons only. Great parody, I love it!

just the best.....! you make us smile and teach us at the same time.....TOT would be proud...

Man you always have such great and extremely informative content!!!

Awesome content from TFS and ToT. Fab'n wouldn't be the same without them.

Epic Video! Really hope TOT got a kick out of this one, I certainly got a great laugh, and learned something too!!!

hahaha, this video made my day ;) went straight to tony's channel, new to me, then laught in tears even more as I understood more of this analogy in Your vid and rolled on the floor while watching his vid about gas flow rates :D thanks guys, not only I've learned about frequency and weld width relationship and probably learned how to fix my cooked stainless pipe welds (turbo manifolds) with simply more gas flow, but I also had great time having this YT classes :) Good job gentlemen.

This old tony is hands down the best video editor on ebay. I love both of these guys but this old tony was my first so.. I'll keep buying from them as long as they is selling. This is why I love Twitter

I agree I'm in welding school and my teacher had me use a thicker rod and I kind of liked it and learned when to use it.

Well done.. Channeling the ToT but definitely your own.. Keep it up

This video had me rolling 😂Great work!

Man I love your sense of humour

Hey, look! We're "Justin" time for a new video from This Old Phoney!😆 Love the Godzilla lip sync and blurred hands bit. I'm glad I woke up in time to see it! Funny video! Peace

Watched this a few times over the years ... now I'm about to be certified ...thanks man

It's your preference... until, an Engineer tells you what your preference is.

Yeeeeeah, ToT style vid! Great job, dude ;)

Well done and great advice. Thanks

Awesome i loved the drink outside of the blue it reminded me of the 90s when whistle blowers would come out a talk about aliens. Keep up the great videos i have learned slot that wasn't really fought in school.

i had just watched TOT before yours!!!! both great channels awsome stuff guys!!!!

Came for the welding tips. Stayed for the comedy shenanigans of two of my favorite craftsmen.

Very cool. You nailed it....er....welded it.

Holy shit this was the best video yet, super fun and informative. Also apparently I need to watch This Old Tony! Lol

Great video. Haven't even made it to the stacks and dabs part yet.

Great video and lesson. 👍

I like the "this old tony" influence!

Haha, loved this video - awesome stuff!

Haha! Winner! Got to love This Old Tony :)

Enjoyed the style change-up. Very cool. As a design engineer i would offer a couple of thoughts: The smoother and more consistent the weld bead the better. You don't want excessive variation in cross section along the weld, so the very pronounced big dab with a gap then another big dab, is not great functionally, particularly in fatigue. Also big welds standing up off the surface create a stress concentration at the toe of the weld. Like driving a car fast, smooth is good. I know people like the whole "stack of dimes " thing but it isn't great functionally to try to make it more pronounced. In moderation it shows tig welding rather than stick i guess and people like to have that hallmark visible. Just in moderation guys... particularly for anything seeing fluctuations in load.

Thanks this is the greatest series of videos! Do you have a video showing the angle and distance to keep the tungsten from the workpiece?

Thanks, I am learning, and my dabs are the tight ones.nice to know it is ok, although, I need a lot more practice

Great video - Homage to Tony Thanks

i just saw this and i was like he's doing ToT awesome!!! got both y'all subscribed and alarmed 🤣

Welding videos have improved ALOT since I was in Highschool 😂

Very cool video ! I think May have to come to a class!!!

Nice job at trying not to laugh your ass off. Lol. I actually did learn quite a lot from this video. As of now I still have not picked up a welding torch of any kind but I figure the more I know beforehand possibly the better I will do on my first pass. Beware, I’m fixen to binge watch the he double hockey sticks out of your channel.

Funny video. Yes, I was thinking of This Old Tony during the video.

Also, Legit cracked up at the blurred hands.

Hay man I made it to the end. Those were some damn fine welds

Ahhhhhh TFS meets ToT. My life Is complete 🤣

You went straight to TOT style. I about laughed my ass off.

Thanks for the GREAT video! Could you talk about bead height?

Ray Romano! I never noticed but you are exactly right. Haha. Love it. Great video. And videos...

Hard to see the puddle... Little flashes of it here and there but as a newbie for which this video was intended, darker and this note focused on the electrode and puddle and filler is more useful and closer to the welding experience for better reference. However, your points and dialogue are spot on. Thank you for the content. I'm looking forward to making it to Vegas one day soon.

Good video Justin

That was freaking hilarious! Damn, I think I learned something too!

great video

So beyond the visual differences, are there any differences in strength, resistance to bending, cracking? Increased penetration?

You stack quarters, you stack dimes, I stack wads of randomly crumpled bills. :-)

"I guess I digest" 😂😂 Can't wait til my Fronious gets here.

you missed out on the long pause beauty shots he does, but solid homage to a great channel

Loved it

Can believe I had to watch this video to hear about TOT! Thanks Justin now between these two series I have 0 free time budget left. Not sure the wife is happy about this but... I'm ok with it. Lol

Trying to learn on my old P&H 300 HFGW so I dont have the ability to change frequency. Still have not found a foot pedal for it yet. So I still have to set it and ROLL.

Love the blur not moving

Justin, This video was very helpful as is a lot of the guys on Instagram, I dig how you put these topics out there I am in a specialized group of Marine fabricators welding Anodized Pipe. when I started the standard was a torch mounted on off button, now many are pulsing with a foot pedal I would like to see some of your stuff go a bit toward the anodized stuff,,,,,, thanks and I am a long time subscriber. I would also like to know how the Everlast machines are holding up

I’ve been tig welding aluminum for years, my biggest problem is consistency. Using a very old Miller 250, for the past five years almost all of my welds are buffed off. Consistency never mattered, just production, and clean welds.

TIG does a nice job and looks easy. However, there are a lot of settings and things to know. It's kinda like a combination lock... Ya gotta get ALL things right (gas settings, machine settings, rod sizes, rod types, etc.etc.) if you want good results. As a total newbie.... I thank you for clearing up all the little details. I'm SLOWLY starting to get it together.

Must be sumptin' in the water in Las Vegas. Here in Bangkok, cannot get a TIG machine with A/C balance for alumininiumummma. Pulse TIG machines with adjustments, but no non pulse fun-justments.

shout out to this old tony

This is so well done hahaha

it would be cool to issue a challenge to come up with the absolute minimum viable setup for welding aluminum, and have someone else try to determine which weld bead was made by which setup. some super ghetto janky stuff, like maybe an off-the-shelf inverter for a car, coupled with the guts of one of those plasma ball desk toy for HF start

LOL great parodies of this old tony any way I love the war of welding co throwing out free gear to top utubers like your self

This one educational video!

I wish you'd be using .063 plate, that is what I've been practicing on

I know what the point of this video was, you were just showing of your amazing ali welding skills. Wish my Ali welding can be so easy and excellent as yours one day

I think you did a great job I don't know who this other guy is you guys were referring to but I like the fact that you dubbed over because you were talking slower and sometimes you talk really really fast and I can't follow along and I have to listen to you two or three times so I found it very interesting and I enjoyed it I'm 61 years old and I just bought my first TIG welder

This old tony!!!

Great video, what could be said about some beads being shiny and others aren’t all on the same piece of material. I’m having similar experience and would like to know why. Thanks!

Just noticed that you move your filler rod vertically. I've been moving mine horizontally. That's why I keep touching the electrode. Got a job to do this weekend and I'm going to try this. I'll let you know how it goes.

Took me too much to realize the reference, but still under a minute.

This is outstanding! 😂

Yep! 3/32" for life yo! ARC electrodes, TIG torch and fillers! I even do my best with a no 6.

Great

Okay this old tony

Im watching your dab speed. Im new at welding, doing 1/8 peices of metal, 112 to 125 amps, metal seems to overheat and warp real quick. Thoughts?

Make hobby video on a check fluxwire tips and a trick or .... and technique of fusion welding corners and brazing aluminum with stick

will these weld characteristics and bead appearances carry over to mild steel or are these uniquely aluminum tips/adjustments?

The second weld was a problem in your torch hand. Not your dab hand. You had inconsistent speed.

Just watched ToT before this one. LMAO! Now I have to subscribe to this to. 😁
