Hey bocod! One thing in my past experience that may be of interest to you is the way an automatic comes out of a puddle. It’s a medium to long taper, or down slope,that tails off quickly in order not to leave a fisheye or large deposit on the end. This may or may not be of interest for you. I always thought it looked more professional. Happy new year 😁

answered my question! thank you. im welding some thin metal with 7018 but only thing I also was told is to run it DCEN (straight polarity) for even less penetration. is this correct?

Thanks for the video it helped out a lot

Very simple & helpful. Thank you

I like that. Maybe little better way to explain stuff for the heavy pushers uphill is, angle dictates attachment or flow. Also with same size rod passes yes 50% but passes should usually be upsized and ran between half and 2/3 overlap and little hotter but never to hard edge until final to reduce undercutting.

The trick is to try your best not to get burned and the mastery comes from knowing that you will probably get burned anyway and to simply maintain your bead when your shirt catches fire. Quite tricky to get but after the first 20 or so burns it all feels the same. And honestly no matter what overhead is always a last resort NOBODY thinks that their overhead position is their best weld lol plus WEAR A HOOD OR HAT or you will go bald

Thanks man, I’m no welder but I was trying to tig a thin metal t joint on a thin steel post that doesn’t hold any weight really. Watched this and figured it out enough to get the job done! Might do some more of this for fun!

Usually when some one says, it’s not the prettiest, I’m not the best, means they’re pretty darn good welders lol

Do you just order a universal replacement for that?

Straight to the point- i love it. Really helps me out. Liked and subscribed!

Great video and explained very well. Thank you.

Perfect! First timer here. I fixed it, thanks to yours and Pat's guidance. Extra tip: Leave the old cable in while you run the replacement alongside its path within the chair's works, before you remove and get rid of the old one.

Mine just broke where can i buy this cable

I keep getting a gap in the middle of the weld as if the puddle hasnt built up at all, theres a weld on each side and none in the middle, but im going slow. Cant seem to find the problem. It only happens at times sometimes its fine but im using the exact same motion everytime

100, brother, thank you very much for showing me how to do this. God bless

We have 2 couches with recliners and 3 of the 4 recliners were broken. We were fighting over who was gonna get the recliner. Then I found your video and ordered the parts. I did not even tell my husband. He came home from work and they were all working, we honestly thought we were gonna have to buy a new couch. Thank you so much!!! oh and an opportunity to clean under the couch🤭

Great video, just fixed mine!

Mine broke yesterday, thank you!

Thank you for your video. It's a big help.

if you don’t mind me asking how do you go about recording your arc shots?

You didn't say anything about if you can weld Aluminum..is there something special you would need?

This is brilliant just what i needed thanks brother

Thanks! boy did I appreciate the love seat repair video. Spot on and easy- peasy. Thanks!!

Cheers bro 👍🍺

Yea that's true it's that timing

Thanks so much. This was helpful. My kids and I rewatched the first 17 sec several times. So funny! Good work.

At Pullman Standard we built railroad cars on the main frame we'd lay down like 1" × 2" flat bar and it required 7018 rods 18"s long probably close to a 1/4" rod. Worst part of the job was to make sure your pants legs didn't leave exposed skin. That happened to me one time with flair legged pants very painful for a few days. Most of their welding machines were at least 600 amps stick welders. Have fun!

Thank you for posting! Gonna try to fix ours if I can find replacement part!

Biggest mistake I've seen were people trying to drag the rod like using mild steel. Rather you should flow with the pool of molten metal you're laying down and being consistent with your moves. Drag rods are great at laying down a steady weld and the flux curls right up there is hardly any chipping of the weld involved but of course the strength of the weld isn't as strong as the 7018 low hydrogen rods.

What's your setting for root to cap?

Thank you for these viseos, this was insanely helpful!

Thanks. I need the help.

Thank u was this schedule 80 2 inch?

Thank You Very Much

Mine broke yesterday, goggle and saw your video. Well done and thanks. Will order the part and can you send your helper over? Without him I do not think job can be accomplished!

Thank broo

Thanks bro 😎 I save my self a 159 bucks

What heat

I think this technique is what the people who are doing X-ray welding use, I might give it a try 👍🏻

12-DEC-2024, I REPAIRED IT MYSELF FRIEND, THANK YOU ❤🙏FROM INDIA BANGALORE. 🙏

I guess the obvious question we have that you did not address is: "why weld uphill or downhill, why not just flat? Horizontal flat you don't have to worry about gravity, right? what am I missing?

Thank you. Great help! Restored my wife's confidence in me😂😂😂.

Would I be any different for doing with stainless or generally close to the same

Thanks, got to practice in the field with 1/8 7018 welding 1/4" and the guy showing me gave me several of these tips and i learned a lot

Push your rod. Don't be scared of it sticking. Good video

Would this be any different for a v groove at a 35 degree bevel?

Can you make a video for lap joints on 1/4 inch going vertical with 7018? Currently going to school! I know it's a long shot but would really help😭

Man I'm glad I found your video I have no problem with 3/32 but every time I would use 1/8 it would look horrible it would do exactly as you said it would bunch up in the middle. It makes sense to me now. Thanks for sharing I appreciate it! Now I'll know what to do next time 👍

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

When you were using a 3/32 7018 vertical up the machine was set at 100 amps. So the settings and output are way off. It's like these manufacturers just don't care.
