You should show some of the records of people sending tungstens for a bit of a swim lol

Only reason i watched this video tonight was the dope Slayer shirt.

Omg dude this is the best lesson/beginner/video I have ever seen on Any subject, but especially welding. I would give it 10 out of 5 stars if I could. 😁 I have also watched your video on setting up the torch for beginners and not using fancy cups etc to get a pretty weld, but learn to get a proper strong weld with basic gear that will show all imperfections. These videos give The Best no bs info out there. 👊👍👊👍 You are the only person I ever want to learn from, you are the Best teacher, I wish I lived in your country so I could take your course. I have done a community college welding course but tig was only a small part of it and that teacher didn't demonstrate or even explain ANY of the many lessons you just gave in one short video. THANKYOU so much. I finally have a welder, and can't wait to be able to take part in your weld with me live streams. I won't bore you with the details, but I had access to a 15amp power source, so I saved to buy a bigger/better welder that has a 15amp plug, but no longer have access to said power source. But as soon as I get that sorted out, I know I will now be at least 12 months ahead of the learning curve if all I had was the lack of information I got from that course I did, because all the practice in the world wouldn't have helped me improve at all with the knowledge I Thought I had learnt. I know stick and mig aren't your thing, but with your teaching skills I bet I would learn 10 times more from you than that crap course that focused on those 2 disciplines, even if you haven't done either of them in 20+ years.... any chance you would ever consider doing a beginner video like this on those other, inferior 😁😂 types of welding? Oh and I will first be practicing on steel sheet and some thicker plate before I move on to aluminum (my first jobs will be repairing a few car panels and building a very basic but sturdy welding table, although I might stick weld most, if not all of that), so other than the obvious settings difference, would the practical tips and practice techniques you teach in this video still be the same?

@@D16t SAME

You know why call I guy with a small penis? Just in

AMEN

My first time I forgot to turn on the gas... that woulda definitely earned me a smack upside the head if pops was around hahaha

This is very supportive, not like holding the flashlight when you were 10 years old. 😂

He's never gonna give you up.

​@@lloydlawson6876dude thats too relatable lol

Yeet

Indeed!

Agreed. Best I have seen!!!! Taking the mystery out of this and replacing it with practical, easy to follow steps!!!

Super informative instructor two thumbs up bro

This is very helpful I went through welding school and was never taught the very basics of starting a weld pool or how to properly hold the torch! Please post more videos like this!

im the same cheers

Sad to say but tig mig are at deaths door for most applications, laser welders are hitting the streets at 5k USD approx, pretty soon will make the learning curve flatter Very soon we will just be a stick weld and laser welding world

@@nhilistickomrad4259 Why is stick weld better than TIG? is it easier or what?

@@freemanfx never said better. But in poorer places no one tigs or migs due to gas expense, lack of closed workshop environment etc, we do only sticks

All I do is aluminum.... It's always tricky and there are no short cuts on cleaning. Cleaning I think is the most important part. It's night and day difference when you start welding. Repairs or working on anything that's been used, painted or powder coated is a pain. I build custom entrance gates and my goal is always to make them strong enough to never ever have one come back for a repair because it can be a nightmare after it's been powder coated.

Oh... Filler rod and tungsten can make a huge difference. 4043 filler rod flows really good. I've tried all different types of tungsten and from my opinion a few different ones are good but I change them depending on thickness of aluminum vs the settings in using.

@@willhall7777 I'd be interested in knowing the tungstens and grind angles you use most often and for what types/thickness of aluminum. Thanks in advance - an aspiring welder

@@willhall7777 Will, when you say cleaning do you mean a quick rub over with abrasives or really thoroughly even with a chemical cleaner?

@electro arc I'm on day one next week 😂

They're really good.

That’s crazy I’m on my second semester and we are already 2 weeks into aluminum tig and tig. But I’m going for an associates degree in fab and welding

This guy is a great teacher if u need to teach urself tho, he’s helped me get ahead of my class for sure

You'd be amazed how much of a difference small things can make like body positioning.

Burning the tooth nerve with a TIG torch.

I’ve only been welding for 3 years now n I’m just learning tig. My welding skills increases dramatically once I realized the trick to laying a good weld is simply being in a comfy position that won’t have my body stressing out half way threw laying a 2ft long weld.

What's going on in LV? Only tig welding? What type of p aye should I expected to get out that way?

When I went to class it was like Patrick Swayze at the pottery wheel in Ghost!

​@@kq2799 Where do I sign up? Ha Ha

That is not a good sign :0)

TIG, I believe is the most hazardous. The "smoke" from both Stick and MIG block some of te radiation

There is no electro magnetic hazard associated with TIG welding. The high frequency start might theoretically have an impact but it only lasts a fraction of a second and is very low power. When welding DC there is literally no physical way for electro magnetic fields to generate. Welding with AC at around 100Hz or so has negligible impact compared to all the hundreds of power lines already around you

@@AlessioSangalli Sorry electromagnetic spectrum includes UVA I was referring to the part of the spectrum you would call ultraviolet

@@billshuey7422 yeah but the context was to keep the leads on your lap. Obviously, the UV emission of TIG is one of the strongest, and as the process is tipically slower, also the exposure is longer; however, shielding is relatively easy so unless one makes a mistake (or welds without basic PPE) there shouldn't be much concern

My wireless earbuds do not like AC tig
