i am learning welding for the first time and this is so helpful thank you

@ronald1968 3 года назад

Great info as usual matt, have you considered putting a welding helmet over the camera so it would hopefully reduce the glare so we could actually see the welding process..... it could even be slowed down to show the actions....

@BenRelle 3 года назад

Nice. The welding tips vids were why I started watching your channel. Keep doing them - they're great. Where's Kevin the minion? He's not been around lately....

@micheltebraake7915 3 года назад

A lot of useful tips that you don't think about as a beginner, thank you Matt!

Hi Matt, I have been building roll cages here in Australia sense the 1990's. I thought I would have a look at this video out of interest, I found it very worth watching with great tips and explanation.

Great video mat, I was in the shop over the weekend turning a friends mini bike into a trike and I was fabricating with 3/4 inch galvanized tubing and between not welding in a while, trying to stay out of the zinc smoke and my 57 yr old eyes 👀 it was kicking my ass, I put a lot of pressure on myself to have my welds look perfect and I could get a perfect bead all the way around the joint to save my life

@trevorjarvis3021 3 года назад

Fantastic training video as usual Matt, no retakes - just showing it as it turned out. ..... You always manage to make it look so easy! I only have a “stick welder” and find it so hard to weld thin material - ok with the thicker metal.

@100Jeanluc 3 года назад

Hi Matt, Great advice, so many times I see guys fabricate bits and they never chamfer/bevel the edges. As far as I can see you have some the cleanest welds I've seen. Great work, keep it up.

Think I'm about 30% "can't get the torch/gun in", 70% "can't get my head or shoulders in the space to see the joint properly"; not just tube but difficult spots in general.

Man!! buttery welds as ever. i was just havin a go at stick welding with 308 stainless rods on a water trough, i see why allot of shops shy away from patching light gauge stainless. dunno how many times it warped hard n quick enough to break the tacks.

Do a TIG lesson next on the same tube.

I just bought a flux 125 to put in my roll cages and racing plates for my seats for my harnesses I've never welded before my friend's laugh they're like you build race cars and you don't know how to weld learn how to weld dumb dumb laugh out loud thank you so much it was very interesting what you just showed me

@neilhansen9886 2 года назад

@zrxdoug Год назад

This was worth the watch if only for the "use small tacks" advice..doing my own cage, but I'll only be doing the fitting & the tack welding, as I really don't feel comfy doing welds my life may depend on someday just yet.

You can tube notch with a metal lathe and a hole saw. Tube goes in the tool post

@danielnunez3518 2 года назад

Hey man, very helpful video, I’m getting a Mig machine today to install a cage in my Camaro for the NASA CMC series. I’ve got a few questions though about it. I’ve heard that some people tend to not weld the entire length of tube when it’s against the roof/headliner (I assume it’s because it’s too tight). I read on a forum that you can cut the floor the drop the legs of the cage… How effective is this? Does it weaken the part of the floor where the cage plates are getting welded to? Also are there any tips you would give me as a newbie?

@brentonpaterson7047 3 года назад

Would you add a couple of tube joiners in order to be able to remove the cage for good all round welds or just do the best you can in tight corners?

@gsh3159 3 года назад

Can you do a video where you teach me how to finish welding the trailer I started over a year ago

@94jimmy5 3 года назад

I've done 1 in car cage. No fun in some spots. I modified a cage in a panel car. Way easier when you can remove the body from the chassis.

@Tha_AntiChrist 2 года назад

A lot of people don’t realize how important full penetration is especially on a life saving system. Grade A work my man. Also is that a Save Phace welding hood? If it is how do you like it?

@eurobeatmachinist732 3 года назад

If you have a lathe you can use it as a notcher, just a tip if someone needs it😁

@therealrobertbirchall 3 года назад

Holesaw in the chuck amd attach the tube to the cross slide.

@DustinSeiger 3 года назад

Yes, but how do you weld the YouTUBE.....

@knutsir Год назад

Pro tip regarding welding downwards as opposed to upwards; With MIG/MAG it's easy to get a nice weld when welding downwards, but if you want maximum strength and good penetration, always weld upwards. If you're stick welding or using TIG, upwards is always recommended. Also, you will never get as strong welds with MIG/MAG as you get with TIG, sticks, or innershield/flux core wire. For welding pipe joints with maximum strength, TIG is superior. Btw, I used to be a certified welder in the oil & gas industry.

@daldrete01 Год назад

Why is TIG superior?
