When I started to TIG weld 20 years ago, I didn't know any of this stuff, and I had nobody to teach it to me. These 3 things are some of the first things I go over with each of my students when getting them started with TIG welding, and I want you to know them too. Grab a coffee and let's hang.

I began gas welding back in the seventies, and proceeded to arc and ended up taking a course on tig in the nineties, opening a machine shop for a motorcycle business. Learning oxyacetylene first was valuable, and I just was teaching the son of friends of mine, to tig this past weekend, as he wanted to "learn to weld". He's been one of the fastest learners I've seen, and this video is a very accurate, to the point demonstration of the most salient points, I got good value out of it myself, at sixty five. Thanks, you do a good job hitting the niggling details.

Hands down, you have the best educational series I've ever seen. I'm still a beginner and after making progress for a while I seemed to stall out. At least I'm no longer dunking the electrode in the puddle every 5 minutes! After watching this particular episode it's clear that I need to return to these 3 basics things you pointed out. I hope you continue with these educational videos!

I have been a welder for 45 years and Sill love it welders have changed a lot over the years and have noticed the newer machines make it a lot easier

@YTMVZ 2 ай бұрын

funny you say that, as a younger guy (21) ive been welding for 5-6 years now and have had much better experience with the older tig welders than newer. That could be due to the company choice of welder though.

Tips on feeding the wire is exactly what I was looking for, thanks

@mblulz Жыл бұрын

Love the forearm idea, i personally use a hand prop. 1" stainless pipe polished up really well makes for very smooth gliding. Also i wear a tig finger with a nice fiberglass hand pad that makes for a very smooth slide. Helps especially on really long welds. I made my prop out of scrap in like 3 minutes. Adjustable like 24" up and down, and the bar itself is about 18". Clamp it about anywhere, and sets you up for some major success. Really makes those 24-30" welds a breeze. That said, theres nothing better than getting some serious hand stability practice in while kinda floating with your forearm resting. Def takes some practice but once you have it down, it comes in handy... can't always fit a prop near the weld. Love the channel bruh!

The first two tips are precisely why I've struggled. This video is great. I think this video, and knowing machine set-up (stick out, gas flow, tungsten type, amp generalities) are enough to get someone practicing effectively

I can think of how I feed the filler rod forward, but I’d have no idea how to feed it backwards like you’re doing in the video! You did it so smoothly for camera! It almost looked like how it would if you were actually welding it. Very impressed!👊 Awesome video as always.

Thank You, I have done allot of training to get on top of TIG and I still struggle. My back ground is as a automotive panel beater and good with gas welding but TIG no so much. Your technics have made me improve so much as it now makes much more sense. Other trainers just keep saying practice and practice and I get that but if they don't indicate where you are making mistakes it gets very frustrating. Now with watching your videos the frustration is way less as I now know what to watch for.

Thanks for the video! This is a great lesson. I haven't welded anything since 2008 but had a Miller Synchrowave at the time. The guy at the welding shop store, said to keep a ball at the end of the tungsten, start a pool, and orbit the torch and fill in low with the rod near the tip and keep everything moving. I got better through trial and error, but never "perfect". I'll keep this video in mind and practice these techniques when I get another welder. I have a few projects I'd like to use aluminum for.

To slide easily get a piece of pipe that fits over a pipe clamp pipe remove the adjustable end of the clamp put pipe on it & clamp it to either work piece if possible or to a table if that's an option the pipe slides pretty easily.

Bravo nice. One thing tho. In work environment you don't get to be comfortable all the time and some pieces are hard to see. I've had to weld bent like a pretzel for quite a few things where you have to reach in between and around corners over my head to weld blanks into very tight machines. It's exhausting and the strength in your wrist is tested. I've train many people who ended up better than me and it's very satisfying and in the same token I've trained people who never got the hang of it and felt terrible that I couldn't help. So bravo. I always say even after 30 years of welding I still learn something new. Thanks.
