Was just offered a beginner job , gonna be taught and trained how too weld , leaving my current job too pursue a career in welding , super excited I’m watching videos so I don’t go in just blank minded , hopefully with the skills and stuff I learn I can take my experience too other places and make a lot more money, being a felon has always steered me away from pursuing a degree and being turned down after having a degree I spent so long on, so I’m super excited too learn a career trait considering I work in a pallet shop now
Update , started the job and turns out I’m actually an incredible welder , I’m the only person inside the whole plant authorized too weld the inside of the containers where as everyone else welds the outsides
Younger folks. This is awesome i hear you want to get a head start to learning early. Around here not many children are thinking like that. Thank God my children are doing great also. Keep the hard work and life will bring you great things and good people. God bless you all!
Ive never welded, i worked in a machine shop.. i now work for a construction company and drive heavy trucks, i know the process i know what it takes to make a strong weld ive just never had a chance to pick up and go with one. Recently had a trailer rack break because the guy who made a repair on it had zero penetration.. the more i see people fail due to poor workmanship the more i want to get into it and run with it just because im tired of seeing things welded and fail.. due to laziness which could cause someone to get seriously hurt.
There's apprenticeship program for free but it's a 4 year program. It's well worth especially if you are young. However any body is welcome. Look up welding apprenticeship near you. Electrical also offers apprenticeship classes
I'm a mum of 3 young kids , 41 years old and i started welding last week with arc welding machine and it's soooo cool! I really love, even if the beginning is pretty physical and not so easy, after few days i feel more in confidence and i can see my progress! I also take little time alone for me while welding hehe
@@crisf7295 it’s there man. I’m not a welder, I’m an industrial electrician but I work alongside welders every day. Per diem is nice too lol. I take home 1595 after taxes and insurance on a regular week, 1800 when it’s 6 days and I’m a 2nd year apprentice. Not even close to journeyman.
Thanks for the great video... I am learning from scratch... Here are my notes... Got a couple of question marks in there... Welding - Liquification of a Base Metal with Heat and then they fuse together. 3 Common Characteristics 1. Heat Source 2. Filler Metal 3. Shielding Gas or Flux 3 Types: 1. MIG a. Parts i. Heat - ? ii. Filler - Electrode on a spool of wire iii. Uses Shielding Gas b. Benefits i. Easier to learn because you preset all your parameters ii. Much cleaner welds because you don't have any slag process iii. Can be done with a wide variety of metal thicknesses iv. Good for in a garage or shop c. Weldable metals i. Steel ii. Stainless steel iii. Aluminum 2. Stick a. Parts i. Heat - ? ii. Filler - ? iii. Uses Flux b. Benefits i. Can be done outside ii. Wind does not effect it as much iii. Works well on thicker metals iv. More forgiving when welding dirty or rusty metal v. Great for welding farm equipment vi. Great for welding gates in your driveway c. Drawbacks i. Produces a lot of spatter, vapor and fumes ii. Welds are not as clean d. Weldable metals i. Steel ii. Stainless steel iii. Cast iron 3. TIG a. Parts i. Heat - ? ii. Filler - Metal iii. Gas or Flux - ? b. Benefits i. Provides highest quality and precise welds ii. More pleasing to look at the resulting weld beads iii. Works great on thin metals iv. Work on frames like for motorcycles, automobiles, sheet metal c. Drawbacks i. Difficult to control because you are controlling all three elements during the process 1) Leg is controlling heat 2) Off hand is controlling your filler metal deposition rate 3) On hand controls non-consumable tungsten electrode that is creating your arc as you move through the bead ii. Slower process iii. Requires more skill and practice to master d. Weldable metals - any metal that can conduct electricity i. Steel ii. Stainless steel iii. Aluminum iv. Copper v. Brass vi. Chromoly vii. Exotic metals such as magnesium and titanium What you are going to be doing drives your choice of process.
Hey dude on a side note, I do feel I should warn folks the sign they use is intentional for the Arc Academy is the pedo sign for boy lover. Yuk it’s on the FBIs lift of coded symbols. It’s quite disturbing once you learn it’s used all over media, Hollywood and businesses. Sounds weird and bazar but it’s how the elite and pedo networks communicate. Any way it’s a massive deception that most ppl do t have an eye for because we have no idea that a network of evil doers in the highest positions in governments are involved. Think Epstein on a global scale.
Starting my classes this November, it’s something about welding that really catches my interest. Im stuck doing tech support at my job but I feel like welding is something I would love and make something out of it.
Thumbs up on the production and post production quality! People who knew what they were doing were involved. I might have had the music a bit lower, but it was okay.
About to weld and been 8 years since highschool class and dropping out half way thru a certification. You jogged my memory instantly. ❤ wish me luck, saving my best friend 300$ welding a trailer tire guard that's hanging off nearly touching the tire
i know nothing about welding, or underwater welding (which is what i want to be, an underwater welder) so i figured i should start watching videos like these now, so ill know tons of info on welding when i go to collage. And i figured you probably have to be a welder before you could be an underwater welder. This video helped allot, and i will definitely watching more of these videos!
I’m going to welding school pretty soon and i’m both excited and nervous to learn. I have no knowledge whatsoever about welding but I am eager to learn. I hear some stories about it being hard and for some it comes natural. I just want to be able to soak in as much information as possible and be the best at it.
I’m fifteen looking to attempt to learn welding on my own over summer. I want to learn how to weld on cars in the future. I think I’m going to start with Mig welding
Thank you for this video. This is exactly the info I needed. I really had no idea what the difference was between the different types of welding. I look forward to learing more from the other videos.
This video reminds me of my first computer programming course. I had absolutely no knowledge of any concept whatsoever of anything spoken by the teacher, but mysteriously everyone in the class already had more than a basic understanding (if not more) of what was being mentioned...
Although I'm mechanically inclined I've avoided welding all my life. Started customizing a motorcycle and realized those days are over. Good explanation for a welding dunce.
This was the best video I found, straight to the point, and very professional. Thank you, now I know that I'm interested in TIG welding and can search further in this regard.
@@drankFoD Nope, I searched for a tig welding unit but found they were too expensive where I live and the job opportunity that made me interested in welding in the first place disappeared so I gave up on buying anything and gave up on welding altogether.
I finally learn how to weld from my job by 'shadowing'. Such a cool learning experience. Learned how to use stick & mig weld. I've done 2 welding projects on airport baggage conveyor belt systems so far.
I'm (very uncharacteristically ) in a foul mood after a long day and I have been giving thumbs downs like a pinball machine. This was the first guy to give the basics,: who, what, when and where in a concise video that's just over 4 minutes. BAM. Thank you. Thumbs up. (And stick is for me)
cool, i really want to learn how to weld, the good news is that next year i will learn how to weld for practically free as an extra course to take in my mechanical engineering bachelor!! so exited.
I’m a Chef by profession but wanted to try new career as I enrolled for welding class that’ll be starting next week. So excited for this new chapter of life wish me luck!
65 and looking to learn how to weld just to learn, thinking about picking up a mig welder at harbor fright for $99. i will definitely be checking out your videos
Thanks for the video! Im trying to get a head start, old man (38) going back to school this summer! Welding course starts in august, for about 2 years!
I've been wanting to learn welding for a while now. I'm a jewler, and I already use torch and such but on a much more finer scale. I'd love to give it a shot
@@StupidEarthlings Not necessarily true. I don't know the first thing about welding other than you use a welding torch to fuse metals. This actually taught me a lot so that I can branch out :)
I'm gonna look into automotive work in the future, so this was a good idea of what to expect. Seeing as you're in IL, may have to stop by and see for myself.
I’m a single mom from SW Oklahoma and want to provide a good life for myself and my son but I don’t want to nurse, and definitely don’t have the funds for a degree. I’m thinking about going into welding. This helped, thank you.
Wait...straight to the point, explained everything he said he would, was easy to understand and I actually learned something..something seems off. Not like the rest of the videos about welding.
I took a beginners welding course last week and was shown a demo of welding aluminum with stick welder, it can be done with. The sticks are expensive, don't last long but yea can do it. The video suggested it couldn't be done. Other than that the video is very informing and I learned a lot.
I study SMAW and GMAW in Philippines but my NCII certificate already expired and want to pursue my welding skills so I will go back to welding school her in US to learn more nice presentation and explanation.. thanks..
great video! I'm a beginner, or future beginner as I don't have a welder yet but it sounds like I need a tig, I would be welding steel and aluminum. Thin stuff mostly.
With 600 or so comments, haven't read many, but wanted to note that as to consumables, stick is the least expensive route, both in the welding rods and the most basic of welders. Flux core wire is next as to cost of consumables and welders. When you add gas shielding, such as MIG/TIG and gas shielded flux core, you discover that the gas is going to cost you $12-18/hour of welding, and the machines are a bit to a lot more expensive. Now you can fudge on gas using CO2 alone for MIG if you can accept the variable quality decrease but not for TIG. TIG is aesthetically the most beautiful.
I would really love to learn. This year it is my ultimate goal. It will be a dream come true having a welding skill. My intuitions have never wrong me lol... I need this skill
Ab to go in to my junior year of high school and I have decided to do dual enrollment welding couldn’t be more exited! This video was awesome just to kind of be able to understand a little bit of the process!
Here is a begginer course for welding.. turn around and run lol. After 20 years of staring through a little window and left to own thoughts all day... RUN!!!!!
I've always wanted to weld but was scared and been working medical for 13yrs not including warehouse for the past four. Now at the age of 36 and a mother of four with one going to college 😭, I'm going for it. Claiming it now 🤟🏽 future welder here
