Updated video here:

I welded for over 40 yrs. At one time I was certified in all processes and metals. I'm not trying to brag. Just saying I know what I'm talking about. This is an outstanding introduction video. I had a neighbor teenager who ask me to teach him how to weld. I had him watch this video first. Then I tested him on what he learned. Smart kid even brought notes. Set everything up from the beginning. Very good video.

I completely forgot I was good at this back in highschool shop class, then again it was 35 years ago, so this was an awesome refresher video. Thanks for posting it.

Hey Mr. H, i was one of your students in metal class 2 years ago but i never had any interest in it and did not pay attention at all, which i now regret very much. I am now welding at work quite a lot and i am really enjoying it. I just bought a mig welder to have at home so i can keep practicing. Came across this video as i want to learn more about the different types of welding and instantly recognized the shop. Anyways just wanted to say i really wish i payed attention in your class cause you are a great teacher. Hope you are doing well during these times.

me and the boys forgeting how to weld so watching this at night

Bud this has been the best video iv seen on KZfaq for useing the torch you are a very good teacher on this thanks love the video.

I just started taking a welding course and your videos provide some extra info that is very helpful... will be checking out the rest of these. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

Thanks so much for this video my friend. As someone that had only recently realized gas welding was even possible, your video was exactly the right pace of entry for me. You have a natural affinity for teaching. Appreciate your time!

Thanks for this. I’m just getting started - home schooled - with MAP/oxy, and it doesn’t look like I’m too far from what you have, here. Keep up the useful videos.

I can't believe I watched the whole video your a really good teacher bro learned allot just by watching .

Literally 6 hours away from gas welding and I needed a technique, technique helped me get stick welding down and mig I just didn’t have a technique thanks man!

great job, i did this all day at a beginner welding college course, you taught very well

Excellent video, very well explained .Goes straight to the subject and shows you how.

Awesome video bro! I'm just getting started in welding so this is a big help! Thanx

Id always admired how nicely it fuses two metal plates. This is amazing

Excellent video! Watched 1 & 2. I'm a beginner and you were very thorough. You are a very good teacher! I feal confident now in starting to practice.

Thank you. I'm a woodworker, but often need to do some metalwork. To save myself the delays and cost of outsourcing I learned to Mig & Tig, Braze and thought I should add acetylene to the skills. I very much appreciate your excellent tutorial. Many thanks

I just got started on this in my class and I picked up on some very useful tips. Thx for posting~:)

Amazing video, I’m in welding shop in school and I can’t tell you how many times me and some other people have to alert people that what they’re doing is dangerous, I will have to suggest this to my shop teacher so they can watch it and understand what they’re doing

Thank you for posting this video, it was very well put together. Also, you are one hell of a teacher! The whole time watching this video I kept saying to myself "man, this guy is so detailed in his explanations/instructions, giving good points of reference so anyone can know that they are doing the steps right, and will know what to look for themself" - I then scrolled down to the video description and saw "video for my high school students," duh, your an actual teacher lol. Great job boss, this is going to help me learn how to start welding, and I'll be picking up a Oxy-Acetelyne welding kit in the next few days.
