What machine is better for welding stainless steel motorcycle exhausts. Flux core or arc welding. I saw they sell stainless wire for flux core and have welding rods for stainless also. Most of use will be for repairing cracked frames, add on accessories. The grade of metal here in there Philippines is not good and alot of the china made motorcycles have metal failure. Brackets from factory to hold top boxes break because of bumpy roads. Most people here on the island drive motorcycles. Not for business use if a friend needs something welded I will do for free and for my own motorcycles.

Hello Tim, Jose from Puerto Rico and my first commentary here. This is a great channel and I'm glad I found it. I'm 65 and retired, but I always wanted to learn how to weld. I'm currently taking a basic course on stick welding and I'm really enjoying it. As the finances get better, I plan on learning the other welding courses that are available. One of them is Mig welding. The tips you offer here are so well explained and easy to understand. I subscribed to your channel. It's never too late to learn a new skill.

Thanks Tim, as a non-welder trying to get into welding, you've definitely explained a LOT and I feel very well informed and ready to get into stick welding. Also I've heard it's better to start with stick vs TIG because TIG is more forgiving and moving from stick > TIG is easier, vs moving TIG > stick being harder.

Personally I think stick is easier than tig. The difficulty from easiest to hardest mig > stick > tig for me anyway

Stick is jumping into the water when you can't swim. I had no idea what I was doing at the begging. Understanding the electrodes, your machine and reason why and how the arc is forming and the welding process itself, what you want and what needs to happen for a weld to be good,most essentially, you want to know everything about safety,from handling the machine and your working enviroment to the safety gear to protect you from heat,radiation,slag,rouge material and toxic fumes. After you know those fundamentals of being a welder ,with time and practice you will get better and better. You often see a lot of people get into stick welding without properly learning about it or how to do it. That's bad because you don't want to make a faulty weld that will brake under load and possibly do serious damaga too humans and or property. Especially if you weld something that's important to be durable and reliable. It's an amazing thing to be able to weld,and very useful, also very good profesion in terms of payment but not so much in terms of working conditions, at least not always

Thanks TIm, great video. Very clear, logically presented. One small suggestion would be to graphically annotate some of the weld shots. I don't know if that's technically do-able, but when you talk about the puddle, or the arc length, or favoring one piece of material or another, a big 'ol red arrow would show exactly what you're referring to. Another suggestion would be to plot out the order of things for beginners to practice. For example, stringer beads, then tacks, then butt joins, then fillets, etc.

When I taught myself to stick weld at about 1960 I was very frustrated by not being able to see the work through the mask. One day I had to weld something outside. I pulled the mask down and I could see the work in the bright sunshine. Revelation! I then rigged a couple of very bright lights near the welding table and after that I no longer had trouble seeing what I was doing. This was all stick welding. I still remember my first project. We went to a metal scrap yard and bought 4 angle iron bed frames. Took them home and soon I had a welding table. Just an iron frame I could clamp things to and just that was very handy.

Tim I had a great experience yesterday. I watch your videos which are great. I watched one last night by someone from an Asian country somewhere I don't know where from and no Adio but the guy was using the 6013 rod and showing the very basics of the do's and dont's. It helped me be more able to home in on your great tutorial hints. The video more like a basin crash course or introduction to welding but geared towards rough welding. I think it was a good idea to watch it to help me pick up your brilliant hints and much better explanation of every step involved. Your teaching is much better by far but for me I need to step back so I can be more relaxed going forward. I'm going back to basics like you said before. Practice on old non important pieces first to get the job done and get the general idea on how to get started and get to know and understand your actions and parts and when that part is mastered then learn how to improve on techniques and improving on them thanks a million Tim you are a great teacher

Concise and very informative - just what I needed to get going with the old arc welder I've got hold of.

Thank you, Timwelds! I've bought a Lincoln Electric stick welder, I was having trouble understanding the 4 digit codes for electrodes and I HAD indeed searched it and tried google images, but your video so far explained it the best in layman's terms.
