I tought myself to mig when i was 15 with my friends dads house mig machine. His dad saw my welds and thought they were ok for a 1st timer. He would let me weld a bit here and there. Got ok at it and got offered a better job from a customer because he really liked my work. He had some tig machines in his shop and allowed me to play around with tig. Well about 3 years later company owner goes to the Las Vegas car wash show to gain new customers and someone saw my work and got my information from the owner. Called me and explained who he was and what he did. Offered to move my wife, she was only my girlfriend at the time, and my newborn son and I across america and set us up for the first 6 months on top of a wage id never thought was possible. I am now sr. welder in charge of 1st shift with a team of 14. Man am I glad my friends dad let me mess with the mig lolol. Life would be completely different

Thanks Jody, I listen to your podcast and love what I'm seeing. Keep up the great work!

Wow Jody, not enough can be said about how much I learn from you. You provide a remarkable service to us all so a big Thank You.

Great video Jody. I graduated from welding school last spring. I have a mig welder but I really want to get a tig welder and start tig welding again. Because that's the welding process I was the best at in school. And I liked it a lot but your tig videos really help me for when I do start tig welding again. Thanks

You’ve definitely progressed excellently over the last five years. But your content was always professional given the wild lenses and sensors. You are still the best on KZfaq. I’ve learned so much off of you what I know I thank you. Thank you Steve Sloan 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀🍀🍀😎🤓🙏🏻

Awesome! Seeing the features and performance of these new machines is really amazing. A lot has changed since they built my Miller Dinosaur.

Very informative video Jody, thanks for sharing Alex's settings

As always, Jody, you're the man! thanks for another great video, sensei Jody! :)

Very educational and informative video. Great as usual Jody!

really enjoy your vids, very good advice and top qaulity welds, i work for lincoln electric uk as a welding demonstrator, but very impressed by your knowledge and advice on all types of welding

Jody your videis are great. Very informative. I am just getting started and you are my Bible. Thank you so much!!!

Hi I just wanted to say that I really like your videos. I am 19 years old an from Germany :) So sorry for my english. I have learned mechatronics technician, so I'm not a "real" welder. But I bought my own acdc machine this year and your videos have really helped me to became better 😊. I thank you for your videos. In Germany good videos about welding are rare. And thanks for the european units sometimes 👍🏻

Great video,very clear information.Thanks for the effort.

Nice set up, thanks for sharing guys. And it was nice chatting with you Jody at fabtech 2016.

Excellent as usual. Well done guys!!

Great Video. Going to try this as a way to get to try pulse for the first time.

The best as always,thank you

This is pretty cool stuff. I've got to play around with my powertig welder settings.

Thank you for this video, so helpful!!

Thanks. Always informative.

This is what I'm looking for. Thanks sir.

never enough clamps. love your videos. thanx

another great video! ...i love my tig finger..and u just shipped out my tig finger xl...thanks

Awesome..I love all from U..Thanks a lot..I am very new in welding and all came from U is priceless..Thanks a lot Master!

Beautiful welds by @Cavemanwelder!

...Very nice work...I'm still plodding along with my 1956 P&H 300-300 AC-DC TIG/STICK unit (nice unit, rubber-tired..8"...cart has built in water tank and pump).....and my more modern 1981 Miller-Matic 200 (with plug-in spool gun).....(still works like new, despite over 300 (33#) rolls of wire through the #4 Tweco gun....

Great Video, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jody! My new Dynasty 400 just got WAY more sexy! ( Bad circuit board, no longer available, on my DX 300😒, would only give 100 amps remote ) Love using pulse but after this video I realized I was way too high with the percentage on for things like this. Very informative, thank you!

thx teacher.God bless you.

Damn. I just finished designing a special drill press to help build tables. I was thinking about welding them, but didn't want to have a table come out like a potato chip. Now I have to rethink this. Thanks for the info!

good video,thank you so much information.keep working.

Sir really we are great teacher

Thank you for this video, so helpful!! me too

Another cracking vid.

Great stuff!

Great video jody thanks.

Great video. Man I gotta find that podcast!

Another great video.. thank u sir..

good video man I acually use a lot of Pulse settings at my work for F35 parts but i don't know a damn thing about em, i just use the settings others created.

Thank you for the video ....

I have to agree with what you said at the end.. I am always looking for a clamp and i must have over 30 of them hehehe. Loved that tip today. Great vid

Good info Jody. I have yet to use a pulse machine. Maybe one day, after 40+ years under the hood I could enjoy learning a new trick!! Razor!

Amazing technique. Thanks, John

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. And need I say it again? Totally awesome dude

I learned from the best, thanks Jody! I made a small tool box to take a few tools on jobs around work. Came out nice thanks to your lessons and arc shots. It's incredible how much we can learn here on KZfaq and the web. I made it from 11 gauge stainless. Did some pulse and 1/16 fill rod on some areas to play around with different settings on my fairly new Lincoln Square wave 200. I wish I could limit the background current and on time current to rule of 33. I have no idea what those pre set settings are on the machine. I pulsed at 2 a second and 125 amps. It looks good but bead profile isn't as defined as some others I see. I'm wondering if it's because the background current pre set makes it more difficult to achieve? I felt and less heat would have made for too slow travel speed and the settings felt about right. I used chill bars all around so color looked good. Have any tips pulsing with this machine? Happy new year and let's hope it's a great one for all of you!

Awesome Jody 👊🏻

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. I have way too many clamps, said no welder ever...... Lol, love it!!

Thanks so much Jody, couldn't have been posted at a more perfect time. I'm going to be welding up a bespoke corner worktop out of 304 stainless steel this weekend! Those ideas have taken some of the fear out of what is my first journey into kitchen worktop fabrication. i am starting to realise that i have way too few clamps though!

very helpful video thank you! could you also explain the output setting on this welder? thanks

that s great sir please add your stick welding,especially rotation position in tubes.before i saw mr Bliele s video on welding. yours are very well. i have no information about you,but its my duty to appreciate you because i used your videos . at last thank

Thanks for explaining all of this. I see now how pulse can limit the heat for tig. Will pulse mig like the feature in some everlast welders help limit heat when mig welding? Any comment on whether that would be the same for flux core? I sometimes weld thin sheet out in the breeze.

OMG...that clamps comment just made me laugh out loud. Still chuckling. It's so true though...

I’m a fan of the pulse 👍

That's awesome , " totally awesome ."

I have way to many clamps said no welder ever. Haha. Spot on mate

These settings turned out great. is there any setting you have found to run pulse for aluminum?

Thanks. Denny

Hey Jody. Very helpful video, but I have a related question. We are running a Lincoln TIG 200 and mostly weld mild steel, but a new project involves 20 gauge Galvalum. Been running on 27 amps with 25psi has flow and no pulse, but we're still getting occasional blowouts. Should we be running a pulse setting? The only person with TIG experience other than mild steel was with Stainless Steel and a heavier gauge and he has trouble with it. Just looking for help to make it cleaner. Thanks in advance!

Very nice...

copper bullion bars work good and are easy to get.

Nice

Jody, how much better is copper chill block than aluminum? I found some copper at my local metal shop, but its very thick (1") and therefore very heavy. If aluminum gets you say 95% of the way for chilling, it seems like it would be much easier to work with. Thoughts?

at about 7:11-12 I heard a Q siren!!! Lol. love the videos.

could you please do a video on 2" schedule 10 stainless steel pipe..

When you turn on the pulse are you switching to a torch switch, or does that just turn the pedal into a on/off switch for the settings? I haven't played with pulse much, still trying to learn the basics with my TIG skills.

alex is badass

I am interested in pulse stick welding apparently it is a big in Europe I have heard an AHP 200 tig machine can do it and I think HTP makes some machines do it.

Fhanks

please tell me, what is the hardest part of weld material ? 1- base metal 2- HAZ 3- cap

hello in my weld machin i just have "balance" no peak ans background so that in the setting . thanks

is it possible to position the tank so the weld is on top and then fill with water almost to the top. Then flood the top with argon?

for weld 316 stainless steel plate what kind a stainless steel flux core need and what shield gas use

i have way to many clamps, said no welder ever. so true dude ! xD

Do you have any videos on stainless mig?

Any tips for pulse welding 304 3/16 material? What settings would be the best fit?

cool dude. sub'd

I'm welding motorhats for machines and even with the pulse settings I cannot get this colour in the steel, is it because I dont have enough heat absorption ? Raising the pulse speed, increasing the gas.. nothing works. I use an angle grinder afterwards though and its sandblasted but it would come out with the same time if I could make it look like this, and just sandblast it right away. And it would look way better. Got any tips on how to fix this ?

"I have way too many clamps"....LOL

Hi, would these settings work on 20ga. sheet metal???... I'm doing patch panels on my car & I want this warpage as posable.

Please corner wld how much holder degree & wire degree. Please once more make a video

I've used setting really close to this before. It works great! Makes me dizzy as f@ck. I've nearly fallen off of my stool a few times.

What if you buy some finned heat sink aluminium for electronics as a heat clamp?

Wow... when you step it up to 2 per second it looks almost when laser welding is used!!

settings for the tool box

Hi Jody we have an older Miller 250 at work and I dont believe it has pulse. Do you have another video as to how to weld stainless sheet without pulse to help with distortion? Thanks like your channel as a new welder

What Brand is your Tig thanks a lot

Omg gdamn verry nice

I've been a plumber for 15 years. All I can do is solder and braze. I love watching your videos and one day I'll buy my own welder and start to learn how to weld. I actually have a question for some welders. The plumbing tech is actually getting away from soldering and brazing in favor of mechanical joints like Propress, and PEX systems for potable water, and we've gotten away from lead joints on ductile iron sanitary piping also in favor of No-Hub fittings, if not using plastics over iron pipe altogether. Is there any new tech in the welding world that is killing old welding tech? Or is it similar to the earlier days, now?

What kind of welding lens do you use in front of your camera to get such nice clear arc shots?

Welded by Aliens using techniques not yet discovered by the human race.....? Oh wait, its Jody and Alex. Awesome work fella's

Welding god

I need your help sir tell me one thing iam in Indian how to buy miller multimatic 220 ac dc welding machine any idea sir please help me

Clamps❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

no filler metal? how is this you can do that with tig but if I try something like this with a oxy torch welder I end up lighting up the steel and burning the metal as though cutting it even when I blow the puddle over the other half I am trying to weld, this is not the first time I have seen a tig used without filler metal though saw it bond two parts on how its made on a machine torch? is this because of the higher faster heat of a tig or something? I was under the impression it took a filler metal to join the pieces of steel togather.

I'm using pulse all the time.99% of my job SS Cabinets mirror finish, a lot of fabrication and inside corners, free hand.

Hey all! Christmas is coming up and i want to get my welder boyfriend the perfect gifts. Can you guys please recommend a good helmet brand and gear? I dont want to buy him things he won't use again. Many thanks!!

Hey Jody. Very usefull for a project I will execute - stainless tank for a boat. Made from 316SS 1/32" or 1/16" thick. Most of joints I can do with an angle inside and chill blocks outside. But to close the tank no way I can have this tools... I will try to flood the tank with Argon, but it is a LOT of gas (some 100Litres). Any advices on those final closing joints?

Jody, what welder did you use for this set up? Thanks Denny

Get yourself some 3 foot chill bars.

bah-root-iful welds
