In this video I show how to Mig weld any gap. This process is useful when you get your cuts off a little bit or your angles are off a little. This happens to the best of us. With the price of steel these days you have to fix what you can. This video shows the extreme a gap that I wouldn't use on anything structural. Check out my welding play list to see more videos like this one. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching God Bless Adrian at AC Designs Garage.

Your last video really helped my welding thin metal. I’m sure this will up my skills a bit too. Thanks man!

Thanks for the marker demonstration of your 3 different types of weld I'm just starting to weld and that was a great visual

When you kept admitting that the welds could look better… the said well if you really want good lookn ones fit it up better.

Nice one Pete, I should have watched your vid before going and buying a replacement wire tube for the gun because the problem only got a tiny bit better (I had slight rust on the wire roll). The truth is, I have the wire speed on max! Yet to go and put your great lesson to the test. Incidentally, my old Dad used to give me shit about calling people a Git when I was a kid, you referred to yourself as such at the beginning. The dictionary definition is either 1. a contemptible person, often a fool or 2. a bastard. Dad reckoned it meant specifically, the illegitimate son of a prostitute, which is fighting words really. But I digress… 'Appreciate the guidance.

I've been doing 3/8-5/16 gap on knife edged 20in pipe it takes forever to put the root in

Enjoyed watching your video and your explanations and honesty well made

@mikhailwilkerson7822

Yeah ok I've been welding 1/4 inch wall irrigation pipe fence all week and the lackeys cutting the pipe have left me welding some ridiculous half inch gaps and the solution I came up with is pretty much what you did here except I just did two spiral weaves on either side of the gap and did a C weave like your final pass to knit them together. I don't resent these stoned drunk cutmen cuz honestly they're making me a much better welder I'm enjoying getting paid to get better but dang I didn't know .35 wire could bridge gaps like this but it just takes 3 passes and some professional pipeliner weaves 😅

i build machines that regularly have 1/4-3/4in gaps due to base plants being warped. definitely not a fun time filling them

So if your machine said use setting 4, and you used setting two, is that a good rule of thumb for bridging big gaps, half the power that it recommends for the metal thickness? I've got a Hobart mug welder, I'm trying to teach myself on, I can stick weld okay but just getting started on mig, I'm sure my settings are different than your miller?

The job I'm doing now is quarter inch gaps and it's difficult because both ends are open with eighth of an inch thick metal vertical gaps. I'm looking for advice on making the process easier of possible

How do I video welding without all the light Distortion and such? I really wanted to make a video on how to do this but the video is always too bright or too dark or there's electrical interference I have tried everything I can think of please help.

🤔🤔🤔🤔 that's a tiny gap than what I've been filling! My new job I took over for a guy that was mad he had to grind and cut things out he told the boss he was a welder he didn't do all the things boss man told him to do soooooooo the gaps are like as big as the Grand canyon 😢😢 sucks and irritating and my not so great welds look like crap 😢😖 😂
