I'm a welder, certified in all the processes and everything you said in this video is spot on! You definitely know what your doing. Your channel is 1 or my favorite on KZfaq

Brings back memories I started gas welding when I was 7 years old welded up a lot of car bodys with coat hangers and a oxy acylene. I got my first mig welder in 1990 but I still liked to gas weld.back in 1966 my Dad built a work bench out of angle iron he gas welded it and I still have and use the work bench today . Thanks for the video

Hey man, you're really good at making things but you missed your calling. You are truly fantastic at teaching on camera. Your presence and language is really great. That you are really comfortable in teaching this stuff really shines through.

I'm 84 years old. All of my welding was done with O/A. Didn't have internet so learned by reading, until I got to take a junior college welding class. Your presentation was excellent. People shouldn't be affraid of using O/A for welding, although it has gotten expensive for Acetylene.

Who works with his hands is a worker. Who works with his head is a craftsman. Who works with his hands, his head and his heart is an artist. ..and you are a great artist man!!! Greatings From Italy🙏

Carl, you are a really good instructor! I’m just a hobbyist with no formal training and I learned a lot from this video. I can imagine the kind of kid you were, probably like most of my friends. I’m so glad you were able to turn your passion for metal and fab work into a way of making a living for yourself! Hopefully KZfaq is another way to make more income doing what you enjoy as well! I’m thrilled to have stumbled onto your channel!

My suggestion is try a #3 tip, both tanks outlet pressure at 5psi, 1/8" R45 filler rod, and a silent neutral flame (cone is just shy of 1/4" long). Plenty of heat output, but flame pressure isn't pushing the puddle on you. Might've helped to tilt the workpiece angle a bit more too

I have watched a dozen other people weld today, and I have got to let you know, You are the best darn welder I have seen today! You should be proud of yourself!

Man, please keep'em coming on the "How To" stuff like this! Much appreciated and useful information that can actually be applied in the shop! Love it!

Your torch welding looks better than some of my stick welds

When I first learnt to weld in 1972 at night school, I wanted to learn arc welding but the instructor said learn oxy/acetylene welding first because if you can do that all the other processes will be easy. He was certainly right on that, when I got my first tig unit in the mid 80's it was dead easy as basically the same as gas welding also made mig and arc welding easier.

I remember when TIG really hit the industry and it was overwhelming used for stainless and aluminum. You know “making things look really pretty” and functional. If you were not in that kind of racket then a lot of guys couldn’t justify the cost. I was a mechanic in the Army and we gas welded everything. Our body shop was all gas welding. No mig or tig and that was 1990.

Wow it’s been like 50 years since I’ve done gas welding. I just bought one from a friend, so I’m going to try doing some gas welding. Thanks for all you guys do.

As a Boilermaker, we were repairing a very old powerhouse boiler. One job I had was to clean out small diameter lower headers (about 6" in diameter). We had to dig out years of scale, filling half the headers. The boss brought us small garden, hand shovels, that were good for nothing. I took some scrap 3/4 inch wide metal banding. I bent it into a stirrup shape and gas welded it together. It ended up being flexible enough to bend and fit through the 4" diameter "hand holes", and strong enough to work. I could twist it to scrape the sides. Ended up welding a few of them for the rest of the crew. Give the hardest job, to the laziest man. He'll figure out the easiest way.

I haven't gas welded for 35 years and i miss it so much in the body shop

I work mostly with sterling silver and copper, but I often wander over here to watch you work because I’d like to scale up some day. I love that you’re talking about torch work. Personally whenever I pick up my torch I feel it’s an honor (and my privilege!) to carry this skill forward. I hope you’ll consider doing a future piece about torch cutting? It’s something I know nothing about and would love hear about more. Thanks!🙂

Another great lesson Karl. Your skill set amazes me every show I watch. I had a good laugh when you mentioned bailing wire. LOL I grew up with bailing wire and torches. Commercial rod was quite expensive in the day. Bailing wire, used, was free. Many hay balers of the day used large rolls of wire to tie and hold the bale together. When that bale was used to feed cattle, the wire was cut/pulled off and hung on the closest fence post to get it off the feed ground. That fence post became a supply point for many welders. two wires per bale, each 5 to 6 foot long. It was also good for some emergency repairs like broken tail pipe hangers, or anything that could be tied up to get on home. I still keep that black wire around, but now I have to buy it. thanks for all you do. thom

Also, brazing is a great skill to learn. In 2015 I had developed a cargo bicycle that I was producing. I switched to brazing all the rear set pieces. It’s really great for keeping heat out of small machined parts. Plus it looks nice! It’s a very satisfying skill. Once you get good at it. On thin tubing and tiny little parts. It’s really the best way to go!

I would love to see oxy acetylene aluminum welding. Because you explain and show everything so good 😁👍

I learned to gas weld when i was 17, about 40 years ago. Definitely a good way to learn to weld. I still have my AirCo branded torch and regulators that I bought back then. I think it took me about 2 years before I bought real welding rod, coat hangers were plentiful back then. Your patience as a teacher is amazing, for those learning these methods for the first time your videos are a must watch. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

NUMBER ONE! Gas welding Rocks. You could do a whole bunch of episodes on this subject...

I learned to gas weld in 1965. Guess that's why I likeTIG so much. I have done a lot of welding with old style metal cloths hangers after I cleaned them up

Best weld-heat shrinking explanation I’ve ever heard. Thank you 🙏

Thank you Carl, I just got my bottles yesterday. I scored a welding cart from 1917 with a complete victor set up hiding inside for 200 bucks at Turloc swap meet. I’m so stoked to get going tonight. Thank you!!

Brings back memories. Brazing is another valuable technique, great for repairing cast when you don't want to put a lot of heat into the piece

I am currently 58 and remember back in 9th grade shop class we had to learn gas welding in our metalworking section. We didn't use filler, it was all fusion and we learned on 1/8 mild steel plate. I always loved watching the puddle move. This is actually inspirational for me to think about as something to get back in to, looking forward toward retirement. Thanks

For a moment I thought I was watching Bob Ross when you said " a happy little puddle and walking the flame", you have a great touch especially on thin metal, Great video.

Cool beans man. This brings back memories. When I was young back in the covered wagon days all we had was a torch and a Lincoln buzz box. We built entire race cars that way. My mom was always yelling at me for using all her coat hangers. If I remember correctly we set the pressure for welding thin stuff at 3/12 lbs. and cutting at 10/30 lbs. Thank you for your time.

I love how the whip and pause provides very beautiful oxyfuel welds. Whip and pause is what I usually use for E6011.

Carl, your correct about bringing back memories for sure. back in the 1970's and 80's we torch welded everything in the body-shop with coat hangers. from chop tops, 1/4 panels to (patch panels that we made our selves) we also did lead work on your seams. i still occasionally torch weld, with my ol' DHC200 with 4lbs of pressure. we also did exhaust systems with a torch, and coat hangers.

Oh here it is. I just have not viewed in a while and missed this one. This is the key, these beginners get this function down and it just gives the basic knowledge that one can always fall back on when applying the different techniques of welding. i took a welding course way back in the early eighties and I spent more time on this procedure than any other procedure and like you said when I got to the Tig process it fell right into place.

Great video! If it wasn’t -26 out today I’d be out in the garage playing with my oxy torch. I’d love to see you actually weld in a patch panel on a car with this method. Always great content bud 👍

So nice to see welding done using the old school methods!

I know you may never see this comment but You would make a great shop teacher. I want to remark on your' searching for the pedal. I learned to drive in 49 and 51. I was 16 in 1951. eventually I moved up to an automatic transmission. I automatically reached, with my left foot for the clutch for a very long time. Ones in a great while, I still catch myself doing it. It makes me laugh at myself. Some habits you never loose. they just lay in waiting. :O) Your' welding looked great to me. I learned oxy welding in the 51 aera from a body man. He was teaching me to de-chrome my 47 Ford Coupe. We brazed pennies on the inside. Then filled by melting Lead bars. Me and my buddies de-chromed and customized many vintage cars after that . I agree with what you say I eventually learned stick and tig later on in life and they came easy because of knowing gas welding. Great video I will have to research your' vids. further. I'm going out to gas weld a patch on a riding mower deck. I needed a refresher course thanks for that. I'm an 87 YO now!!! Still love working with my hands.

I learned so much. Thanks. I used to weld for Toyota in the 90s. Only mig welding. Then never welded again for 20 years. I just picked up a kangaroo kit and want to mess around on my old homemade flatbed trailer. I think I’m ready to give it a try now.

That brings back memories. When I took welding in college in '99-2000 we spent far more time on gas welding than we did on TIG. Great video.

I started working in an exhaust shop, learning gas welding underneath cars. Upside down, weird angles. It was the best experience gained ever. I TIG Weld now exclusively but you are so right, if you learn Gas welding it first it sets the fundamentals for TIG.

Thanks for the flashbacks, Karl. My first rig was a very tired 31Chevy pickup that I started on in 61. I plainly remember being so proud of my baling wire welds that I wire brushed them and painted them just as they were. Great times!

Like others, I started out brazing, and also gas welding with a coat hanger in early 20's. Fast forward 50 years LOL. I mostly arc welded after that, and a bit of MIG. I recently had a need to do a very delicate weld on a broken hydraulic control handle. Too delicate for arc, brazing not strong enough. This video was an EXCELLENT refresher. You have great skill, and you are a very good teacher. Off to the garage, and see how it goes! Thanks a million.

Great video I’ve also had welding in high school That’s all I learned was gas welding and arc welding my first job they asked if I could weld Meg and TIG took the test I started working the next day

Thank you for this refresher. This is what I’m practicing today. I really benefit from your teaching and artistry!

Ahh, grade 9, 1964, teacher was Mr. McMeekin a tall Scot with a thick accent that you could hardly understand when he spoke, but he taught us how to gas weld (and I still do). Thanks for the memories.

Karl, I taught Apprentices for over 25 years and although they were going to learn to braze copper pipe joints with silver-phosphorous alloys, we taught them to weld steel together like this first. The reason....because it teaches very good torch dexterity and control of heat with the flame. We told them that they would probably never do this type of welding again, but it was a good fundamental skill to learn. Great job! As far as tip number, it is misleading to go by a specific number. Unfortunately, there is not a consistent numbering system between manufacturers of torches. It is better to go by orifice size. We used a #3 tip by Air Liquide for welding 11 gauge steel and it had a #56 drill size orifice. These torches are what is called "Equal Pressure" and therefore the pressure for oxygen and acetylene are equal. For the #3 we used, it was 3 psi. Neutral flame is what you want. Using Blueshield equipment by Air Liquide meant we did not have to go to the charts for pressure settings. Whatever the tip number was, that was the pressure setting for oxygen and acetylene.

Thank you! I’m 75 and still learning. My first gas welding project was widening the wheel wells in a utility trailer made from a Datsun pickup bed. Gas welding, like you said, is like TIG. My TIG is a simple, cheap unit with no pedal (LOL, so I don’t look for the pedal) but it works fine for what I need. It is my ‘electric torch’. Hopefully this will open eyes of some who haven’t used this welding process.

Everything you did in the video I've done in highschool it was fun I liked welding especially gas and tig

When I was in the 11th grade, I took auto body courses at the local community college. It was such a great experience and my friend and I were the only high school students in class. We would practice gas welding outside and we practiced butte welding. I remember distortion and burning holes through the joint like crazy. If I had an instructor like you I might have stuck with it. It's been over 40 years ago and after watching your videos I feel like I'm ready to finally master this technique. Thank you Karl.

I need to head out to work. I'll finish watching later. I too started with the oxy/acc course in school and will pick up the torch every now and then and weld something. I will tell you, at least for me, I didn't grasp a firm understanding for keeping a neutral flame until years later and learning how to forge weld. Keep posting I gain allot of knowledge from your videos that I wish I had 30 years ago.

This takes me back to high school 1982-86. This was the first welding process they taught. I suggest use a cutting torch to weld the thin gauge and that will tell you how good you are or are not. In high school i welded my friends kawasaki h2 750 tnt exhaust with a coat hanger and a cutting torch. When you don't have all the tips to do the job you do with what you have. A fat bead in 18 gauge chrome pipes. To me it was adjusting the heat by lifting the torch or hot and fast as my machine shop teacher told me. Practice! Great video!

You do a great job explaining, all the older muffler shops gas welded you muffler and pipes

Karl, you always do a great job of demonstrating and explaining. The dynamic between you and your "camera person" is nice. I was told by an old-school British craftsman to use 3 - 5 psi on the gauges for light gauge sheet (18-20-ish) and a double to triple aught tip. Look up "aught" in one of those dictionary thingies/apps... it's been around a long time. ;) The lower pressure causes less blow out. It's quite amazing being able to do a 2 foot weld on 18 gauge with a torch after making such a mess when I was first trying this almost 50 years ago. I'm not old.. I just started young. If you have a precise cutting tool you could cut slivers of filler from the same material that you are working with. The metals all flow nicely then. Just remember that just like tig, you want super clean metals. Those of you trying it out on a car... don't forget to have a fire extingusiher handy. It is more fire than mig or tig, after all. Get that Caddy done before your Zephry. You know what they say: Happy camera person, happy life. Or something like that. ;)

I learned to gas weld by reading old WWII training manuals. wish this video was around when I was doing this. I welded my whole frame together this way.

Oh man, you took me right back to Navy HT - A school. You had to master cutting and welding with the torch before they even let you touch the arc welder, and when you did, understanding that puddle flow and feeding it was key to mastering the arc.

Back in high school, great memories. Did a demo/instruction with a school teacher a few years ago. 26 kids learning. Needed this video. Thanks

Ive taught myself how to O.A weld at home when my tig took a crap. Wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. Its been helpfull at the house and the shop .

Carl great video So many people don’t appreciate or understand the art form of gas welding You did a great job People forget that a majority of WW2 aircraft was gas welded Well done

Great teaching lesson, you are the man !! Awesome video. Take care thanks 😊

Great presentation, Karl, clear and to the point. Many moons ago when we were young, a mate and I put a Chrysler straight 8 into a Nash. We gas welded the mounts onto the chassis, never had a problem in spite of dire predictions of bystanders.

You explained expansion and contraction better than anyone I've watched. I am definitely going to try gas welding sheet metal!

I learned to weld with oxy/Acetylene. I welded many 4140 steel parts on aircraft. I thought I was good,until I had to weld the fuselage on a 1946 Piper PA-18 Super Cub.All the welds were made by women.Those were the most beautiful welds I have ever seen.

Brings back memories of restoration classic cars with the family. I learned it from seeing my uncle doing it. I love to had some set, i definitely going to buy a set soon. Love to see you doing this video

I've been looking at flux core welders over the past few days to add to my woodworking shop. I have an old Lincoln "Red Box" arc welder but it's too hot for thinner material. I have a perfectly good Victor torch I've had since the mid 60's. You have inspired me to start practicing with my torch instead of buying a flux core welder...at least for now. Thank you!

WOW! Very impressive video - Karl, you were born to teach! Brought back many memories. Good timing too - a week ago I was digging around for my welding tips. I had some rusty exhaust manifold bolts giving me a hard time and couldn't fit the torch with cutting tip in there to heat them. That was my first walk down Memory Lane; this video was the second. I haven't used those tips since the early 80s! Now you have me fired up to try gas welding again!! THAT will be interesting - my welds never looked as good as these. Practice, practice! I need to make some jack stand holders too - great idea!

I am 63 years old and learned gas welding in the early-mid '70s in a high school fabrication class. Like you said it was where you started and was the foundation that all welding was built on. We also had stick welders, just got our first TIG machine but there wasn't any MIG at that time. I have now returned to welding as a college student working on a Welding Technologies AAS and again we started with gas welding and are working our way through the different weld processes. Thank you for taking the time to bring this to us. I am so glad I found your channel I learn something every time I watch.

As always, great video, great info. I've done lots of silver soldering with a torch, and getting the right gas flow was always hit or miss until I read the tip that you increase the acetylene until the black smoke just stops. You can back it off a little from there, but not much. Then add oxygen until the flame is neutral. This helps prevent the flame from going out from time to time if there is a breeze, but also, if the flame is too small, you'll heat up the tip, as the flame will actually touch the tip. If nothing else, the handle will heat up too, which isn't fun if you are going for hours.

Yep totally remember oxy acet welding. I was taught in a pipe fitter welding class. The route pass was the toughest. Had to keep that keyhole going for 100% penetration with a smooth bead on the inside of the pipe. One of the test was on a 6G set up then they would cut straps and bend across the weld. Any undercut on the stringer bead inside the pipe and the strap would crack and you would fail the test. Stick welding made things a lot easier

Old fella here if it’s loud your going have issues as you did trying to get extra heat out of the smaller tip , always have a quiet flame, videos great!

I keep watching your stuff,its amazing how much knowledge and skill you have in fabricating and welding.. most times you have a jack of all trades master of none.. i have a feeling its the other way around.

You did a fantastic job with this video. Very impressive with your talking and not over explaining ect. Thank you.

Thanks man for taking the time to share with us your thoughts and skills on oxy-acetaline welding. We know that you are totally busy with a lot of different projects. Again THANK YOU.

Yeah I fought my teacher in gas welding, too. I wanted to go to the MIG because I thought it was cool. It had the automatic wire feed the cool little trigger thing, man it looked sweet. I spent a lot of time with the torch in my hand though and I got pretty good at gas welding. I got pretty ok with stick welding, too. These days I’m happy he made me spend so much time with the torch.

Ha! I still have and use my oxy/acetylene kit once in a while but buying a MIG magically turned me into a "good" welder. Your mention of coat hanger welding rods reminded me; in 1971 I bought a front crashed 66 Mustang fastback and a rear crashed 'stang convertible. I grafted the back half of the fastback onto the floor pan of the 'vert to make a Mustang "targa". The project was done all with a torch and coat hangers. Mom was kinda miffed that all of a sudden, her closets had no spare coat hangers. "Where did they all go?" she asked. I just shrugged.

Am good in welding I did it for 9years so I love your watching your videos am really learning a lot about your amazing videos,I will like to join you one day

Thanks for this EXCELLENT video. I always say, if you want to learn to weld, start with gas, then you'll be able to do anything. Nowadays, a guy goes to Harbor Freight, buys a MIG setup, and never learns to weld. PS: Do not stick the inner cone into the puddle.

I went to Sooner Trade School in OKC when I was 15, that was 41 years ago, and my instructor made me pass gas welding, AKA braze welding, and master it before I could move on to stick welding, and I had to master welding flat before moving on to welding a 90, and I had to master that before moving on to vertical welding, and I never finished it because I got a hot lag in my right eye, and I dropped out of class, but Jack Stone was my instructor, and we spent 10% of the time in class and the rest in the shop learning to weld. There were some learning mig and tig welding then, but I wanted to learn stick welding. The setting I always hear on The Acetylene is 3-5 but I guess 6 is in the ball park. I would say one safety tip when gas welding is never turn on the Acetylene valve more than a half turn, and if you hear a whistle going down the hose, walk over and turn off the Acetylene valve, and start over turning it back on. getting a flat piece of sheet metal to practice running a bead on is great for a beginner. I know that is how I started out day one and moved to welding an inside 90. I had to learn to run a bead half way on the bottom and top of that corner bead and then weave a bead over the three. I think I spent a couple of weeks practicing that before I was able to move on to stick welding. The biggest thing after learning to form that puddle was finding a rhythm to make the bead look beautiful!. There are a lot of things you can do with Oxy/Acetylene! Just make sure the lense you are using is suited for gas welding and protect your eyes!

Gas welding is almost lost to history but as a teenager in the 60s hanging around race shops like Custom body Dodge, Garden State speed, and helped put together Sammy Miller's wedge bodied top fuel streamliner. Oxy-acetylene torches were the standard. One of the kids in our group had access to his father's buzz box so he was treated like a rock star. I even learned to stick weld exhaust tubing in the car. It was even said that Wild Willy Borsch built his Winged Express cars by gas welding 2-inch dia. .062 wall welded seam mild tubing aka " muffler moly" I now have 2 torch set-ups in my shop. One is the standard Oxy-acetylene and the other is oxy-hydrogen for welding aluminum ( no carbon )

I am so glad the younger generation would at least accept oxyacetylene welding as a standard to this day. With practice you can weld just as good as TiG. I recently within the last three years have had absolutely no choice but to take on oxyacetylene permanently due to a defibrillator placed in my chest. That completely cut the legs from under me having TiG welded on a almost daily basis doing chassis fabrication. Keep it old school , it still works for experimental plane fuselages 🤙🏼

Well done Karl, I find your instruction videos very entertaining. This video reminds me of the torch welding I did in class 40 yrs ago . I must add you are a much better instructor.

Hello! Fantastic Video. Am 63 and one of the skills that I was lucky to learn ,from an old friend veteran metal worker from the second world war. Your totally right is one of the most versatile tool in the shop. But sadly I found they are in a corner of the workshop full of dust, because in general today bodyman ignores the uses. In my home country we need to learn how to fix everything.

Very well done Karl, really good presentation with both explanation & demo. I learnt pretty young with a torch - 1st lesson "it's all about the puddle". They'd give me 6 same sized squares to weld into a cube - started with plate & as I got better I'd progress to thinner material. Had to keep square corners, no filler. After that, TIG was a sinch. Last I learned was MIG. Stay safe and well :)

I first learnt with gas welding as a teen at school. My favorite. I think it's cleaner if done right. It's proper old school. Nice work mate.

Don't forget that gas welding basically aneals the metal better than TIG. A gas eeld is "softer" and planishes easier/better than TIG. Great video

Love the way you show. Thank you & the person behind the camera

Great tutorial. I love that you can laugh at yourself and not edit out your mistakes. Real world not fake edited. Oh! That’s probably hot. 😂 That probably works better with the camera on. Lol 😆 Also…. I learn a lot by hearing your thought process when you’re (thinking out loud) as you work. Edit: you cracked me up so many times. Looking for the foot pedal for the welder. Same as I get done driving my 18 wheeler at work, then get into my Honda and look for the clutch pedal. 😂😂😂😂

Excellent job on this video Karl. I am a career welder who skipped gas welding and went straight to tig. Gonna buy a 000 tip and give this a go.... take it back to basics. You have a huge gift of being an excellent teacher.

Like you, I learned to weld in high school, starting with Oxy/Acetylene. I've always had a fondness for it. It's somehow such a pure and primal form of welding, and for the all reasons you cited, I always tell people it's the best way to learn (MIG and FCAW, I think are about the worst). Can't wait to see your brazing tutorial!

You my friend are a wizard! I've learned how to appreciate metal working while watching my buddy Daniel Bauman make spears, swords, samurai helmets, knights body armors and so much more really amazing! You brought back those memories, he had your attitude, and always looking for the pedal,,,hammer etc. Thank's for all you do. 🖖

I learned more in this video than any other video on welding. So much good information.

Excellent tutorial! You explain yourself well! Thank you!

I ask years ago how to do this weld, He made it so difficult for some reason and seeing you do this weld I understand how to do this weld. 50 years later I will try this weld again like you, What’s time after not understanding 50 years ago thinking it was too hard to learn. The way he showed me was heat the steel up and melt the wire then pull away and then reheat the steel and so on, burning holes and wasted fuel and air, looks like you heat the steel and wire and keep your heat and wire movement going after your ball melts, no pull away or cool Time needed, 10.00 here 20.00 there over the years adds up to pay for a welder, Thank you for marking it simple, If someone makes it look difficult don’t give up, ask someone else that knows like this young man.

sweet class. thanks for the lesson, cant wait for the next one!!!

I really appreciate your sympathy and yet professionality in (for me) learning how to weld with both acetylene/oxy and MIG welding and sorting out through hundreds of youtube video, thank you

Torch welding definitely brings back some memories, my dad was a stud welding with a torch, but he never got the hang of mig welding. one thing we did learning this was to just run beads, start puddling in lines then move on to adding filler, then start fusing plates, and at last give the welding rod a go. Great video and you are right on with the style/editing. A no. 1 tip would be my choice for heavier metal it may require a 1/8" rod as filler though.

Outstanding job all around. The Teaching was top notch and Sweetie did great with the video. Thank you guys.

Karl not only is a master craftsman but now showing great teaching skills.

Oxy welding , something I havent done for about 40 years. Would love to have oxy again cant afford the gas bill. What I liked about it was neatness , minimal grinding , what I didnt like was heat distortion and instant rust if you didnt prime it the same day

I learned gas welding at college 40 years ago and havent used it since. Now I want to use it and watched your video as a refresher. Thanks for sharing, grear teaching, great demo. As you say, a lot to be learned from the comments too!

Finally at age 44 I’ve gotten a complete kit, bottles, cart. Lots of yt university going on recently. My grandpa used to use coat hangers. He also did a ton on brazing on my 71 mustang. I remember a couple of lessons in his garage in Michigan when I was young…lots of melting through. I love the art and finesse of gas welding along with heating and cutting. Best part: flint and steel, no electricity bill!

You’re an awesome teacher 👍 oh how this brings back memories of my days in high school learning to weld ! I still use this process and believe the welds on rustorations are far stronger 🤷‍♂️

My Uncle ran his own body shop and I would see him cut a top off and would weld the new/used top from another to the one he cut off. And when it came time to weld he would use Oxy/ace and brazing rods. But like brand new that top would be on, done between my Father and Uncle. This is where I learned about body work. Watching and talking and helping my Farther sand and tape cars to be painted. I like the channel and the topics you do. Thanks. Ronnie.

Great video as always. Never used gas, started with stick and moved onto mig. I’ll certainly be looking to give this process a try.
