TIG Welding Rod Rack, Pulse Settings, Speed Tacking and more 

I spend of lot of time on this channel as a self taught tig welder. So I make sure to spend a little time and money at the weldmonger store. I really appreciate all of the free knowledge and experience that you share on here.

there may be many other welding youtube channels but polite,honest,patient,helpful hosts are rare ! Thank you for your videos !

This channel is a 100x better than that "Mr TIG", you actually explain things in better detail and produce a better more informative video

Never TIG welded before, but after watching this fine video. I'm considering buying a real TIG welder and start learning. Thanks from Colorado.

I'm learning TIG, so this channel is very informative and things are explained very well. Thank you Jody.

Jody, your channel is well worth the time for anybody, especially for anybody that welds!

There are other choices for welding videos... yours is the only one I am subscribed to! Best on YT! Thank you for sharing your expertise!

Got to love the fact you give measurements in both inches and millimeters

I miss the projects you used to make. Like your downdraft table, three legged stool and such. I always liked watching you fabricate.

Jody you have the best welding videos, the best youtube welding channel imho

also building the simple brackets as you call them its good practice for us novices keep the tips coming and your tool you use have similar had it for years got the tip for that from an old gent who was a cooper of all things and black smith nice chap thought me a lot witch i am now have the time to get back into all of this sort of stuff also have the lathe and mill all good tools for making all sorts of stuff hence watching your videos cheers

love your channel bro.... you go a lil more in depth then any other welding youtuber out there ..... keep it up bro.....

Hey Jody, just a quick hi from the U.K. Only just started using a Tig after purchasing a Parweld XTT202 AC/DC and wasn’t sure how to set up the pulse settings. Love your videos as everything is clear and concise and everything is explained very well. Keep it up.

I am a big fan of yours , love the close ups you show, best view of Welding on the web !!

Nice work Jody... as always. I liked the speed tacking demonstration, very effective.

Thank you so much for including 'mm' in your explanations. Not many Americans do. It's really handy for English viewers. We have got it all here. If you buy timber or metal in England you can often ask for 3 meters of 2"x4". WTF? Keep it coming, I love your stuff :-)

Yeah Jody, there are lots of choices on RU-vid, but you truly set the standard for others to try their damndest to match. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and techniques.

You've got the best stuff on RU-vid Jody, I share it every chance I get, hope you are only gaining viewership

Absolutely one of the best most informative videos you've made. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the videos. They've been very helpful for a couple of years now. Keep burnin' rod!

always great videos , and thank you for your time

Thank you for putting out such good content. You're an inspiration.

Great vid! Gonna have to keep those chill blocks in mind, and make one of those tacking spoons!

Hey Jody, I build custom furniture, and much of my welding education has been from you and Chucke2009. What I can't seem to find on youtube, strangely, is much of anything about the fabrication part of welding. Tons about the beads, and almost nothing about best practices for fabrication. What welds to hit first, how best to clamp complicated frames, how to combat warping, etc. My beads are plenty good enough for what I do, but what kicks my ass is getting things clamped up and tacked and welded clean without shit getting all the hell out of square. So I, for one, am asking for more content like that. As far as I'm concerned you're the best source for it.

Hi Jody I congratulate you or your great delivery and presents in your videos, I have an Elektrobakum 180 AC/DC purchased in 1995 and have not learnt to use it until lately when I found a line of work to use it. Your videos have imparted more UNDERSTANDABLE information in the last year of watching than I have picked up from all those years of reading and practicing bad skills. I found it hard reading from a German instruction book ( I can only read the pictures) Go RU-vid

Thank you very much for all the videos that you do!

Cool idea of using plastic to make your spring-thing! A little black paint and wall!

Hey Jody your video are awesome I learned heaps thanks a lot

Great Video as Always, thanks Jody

YOUR CONTENT IS AMAZING, SO VALUABLE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

great video! Not sure if you noticed, you still have space for more welding helmets on that wall :)

I come from China, thank you for your sharing, let me learn a lot of things,.（Chinese translation：我来自中国，感谢您的分享，让我学习到了很多东西）

Enjoyed the video and lessons, tips & ideas

great camera work - very well presented

Nice rack haha, i am making myself some of these, all mine is on my peg board pegs horizontal, those occasional use ones are a challenge to remember which one is what.

I've always wondered what the science is behind having to touch the tungsten before starting a weld, otherwise the high freq doesnt do its job..

Love that rod holder i am going to make one but going to use 1.5" pvc as i have tones thanks for the idea

Dear Jody your workmanship is top notch , I am hoping you can do a video on the different tig torch sizes . I bring a sample of the part I need to my local welding supply store and get what I need . But I need to take the time and learn the differences. so I can expand my welding knowledge Thank you for taking the time to do these great video Pete M

Yea there is a lot of choices out there but ill say welding tips and tricks is the best one.

só posso dizer que você é um big welder , fantastic, um abrção aqui do seu amigo do brasil

It's strange that you come up with this video on pulse settings I was just gonna ask you if you could make a video on it I weld thin aluminum stainless carbon for a living all the tips I can get it greatly helps thank you so much sir

Your pyrex cup revealed a unique gas lens configuration. My early experience with these were similar to an aerator used on a water faucet. Since it was in the mid 60's my memory is vague, but I remember only 1 very fine screen as a diffuser, that was incorporated in a module that threaded into the collet adapter threads of the torch. What I think I see on yours is more like a very coarse steel wool. Do they work better than the old ones? I quit using mine because of added cost and limited performance improvement.

i love these fabrication tips

I want a TIG machine to solder gold and silver, which do you recommend?

Hey Boss, Lincoln just released a Square Wave Tig 200 today. I'm interested in that machine and I didn't know if you might do a review on it. Thanks for the vids and soon I will have a reason for a tig finger!!

Good stuff Jody, just a suggestion, could you do a video on pulse GMAW if you have the equipment.

again great tips as always but I didn't like the shot at 10:46 onwards where you have the web of your thumb and first finger in line with the blade when you were cutting the test piece you should of used a push stick or both hands

Jody curious what you use to cut your metal so its perfectly square? Maybe you could create a short video on that. Thanks and always look forward to your videos you posted. Thanks man.

Really enjoy your videos

Very good videos :-) But a few questions regarding the chill blocks. I want to produce stainless steel containers for galvanic purposes of 300x200x250mm size build of 1mm 1.4301 sheets. So I will have to use some sort of cooling to get perfect boxes. 1. Don't the aluminium chill blocks weld with the stainless steel? Aluminium has a melting point much below steel so I wonder if there is no sticking. Or is the conductivity so high that there is no problem? 2. Copper has a higher conductivity - but it is also much more expensive. Can I get my wished boxes by staying with aluminium? 3. What's about an active cooled "chill block frame" for my boxes? I think of some bores through the block and then pumping water through them. Is this effort worth it? Thank you guys :-)

Respetuosamente solicito que estas explicaciones sean transcritas al español muchas gracias..

I sure wish I could weld as good as you with my powertig welder. I am practicing though.

thank you sir! I'm getting ideas!

Im working on nuke quals running EB rings on CuNi and Cres with purge. It would be cool to see some videos of consumable insert 1 and 2 inch V or J bevels. I tried to hunt your page for videos on Rings so i could fake it but they came out alright.

Some automotive fab vids would be rad , maybe a new avenue

I NEED TO ATTACH A LONGER ROD RACK ON MY ROLL'n CART...THANK'z FER' THE IDEA...

great idea for the clips using larger pvc

Awesome video!

Great videos and explanations!

what is the chemical that was used to clean the weld to view penetration

Best part about my tuesday

Hey Jody get video as always! When will you be giving more detail on the new powertig you used I. the first part of the video. I'd really like to hear your thoughts on that machine. Can't tell if it's the 210 or the 255. Thank you, Jason

Man you can do some great clean work. Pidge

Is one second post flow sufficient? Tacking roll cage sections... Probably 100s of tacks so not wanting unnecessary flow.

Jody, thinking about building a small (4x8x5) camper, using 11ga. 2x2 sq tubing for the frame. What do think about using this technique to tack the entire framing together? Would stick or TIG the frame joints once it’s all tacked. What are your thoughts? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated,

so much good info thank you so much

Can you make a video explaining all the specs on how to tig bronze..including wich Tig rod or tungsten rod to use in the bronze welds?

存放焊条上半部分设计成透明的更好，这样可以看见还有多少，而不用打开 Storage electrode on the upper part of the design to be transparent and better, so you can see how many, without having to open google translation does not know right

Like always another great video

I don't know whether you've answered this question yet, but is your machine set for "Lift arc" or "HF?" Thx. BTW, I see that you seem to favor Everlast equipment overall. That's why I just pulled the trigger on a new PT 255EXT. I'm expecting good things.

Jody do you get brass welding jobs and can you make a video on brass welding.

Jody do you get brass welding jobs and can you make a video on brass welding.

i spot that you touch the corner with the electrode then backup and then light up , should i do the same ? and why ? thank you very much for all your info .

Thanks for the great work

Why do you touch the tungsten to the middle of the joint before each tack?

Hi Jody, I notice you touch the metal with the tungsten tip before you do a spot weld. Any particulare reason you do this? I have a new very similare welder (to the machine you're using here) that wont initiate the arc - unless I touch metal first. Any idea what might causing this? (I assume it should not be like this with HF start and all...)

Thank you ,good job

So i just bought a 141 milermatic, im a college undergrate at Treasure valley community college. Well to get to the point i was wondering what type of jobs could i do to earn some extra cash? Also how nessesary is a respirator. Great Video by the way

Another great video. What gas flow rate are you using with that 3/4" cup?

What machine were you using that has a spot timer?

When do you plan to make a welding quadcopter??

Great video as usual, but what's that black stuff - wood? Sacrilege!

ótimo vídeo parabéns.

what is a good setting to weld 11 gauge stainless steel sheet metal using a miller dynasty 200. Great video by the way very helpful.

Was watching your technique on this; Touching the metal with the electrode and then placing the tack. What is the spark we see when you touch the metal? Something leaking? Latent charge? Just curious - Thanks!

Are any TIG rods moisture or temp storage critical like GMAW? Aside, what happens with 1A/mil formula >0.250"?

Speaking of silicon bronze would you do a video on cast iron with silicon bronze?

Corners man. Thin metal (24 ga),.... How to do it?

I Russian welder ,learned much from you !

Quisiera saber como Soldar calibre 18 cada que soldo al ultimo me como el material y hago un hoyo el la lámina si alguien me pudiera dar un consejo se lo agradeceria

Can use tig on brass plate?

First, just got my TIG finger XL and love it. I'm taking a TIG class at the local college. Can you tell me what Welder you used for this video?

How to spot using a tig weld?

What did you use to cut the metal for the brackets? Enjoyed the video.

how do those clear cups do on scratch start tig

Can you do a t joint triple pass 1/16 wire mig

thank you

How can I get comfortable with TIG welding out of position with nowhere to prop and using a trigger on the torch?

Hey Jody, been using these Furic cups for a few weeks now and won't be going back to ceramics, do you know if they have any AC compatible versions?

what's a good low dollar mig/stick welder
