I would definitely add a wire wheel for the grinder. Anytime I use stick or flux core welding I use that a lot more often than a chipping hammer. It’s quicker and it won’t leave any dings on the weld. Also a quality bastard file is very handy, especially after cutting metal, granted that is more of a hand tool.
If it’s a good weld, almost all your slag will come off with a good scrape. I usually keep a sharpened 7018 rod with me and use it as a pick if there’s tight inside corners, like with full pen vertical
You just described my life the past 6 months I've spent probably $3000 on power and hand tools plus a B Tank, Torch and Welding Machine recently! I hope I made the right decision 😂
Im an amateur blacksmith hobbyist. But i did a small class for welding in Ag back in middle school. This means that I think just broadening my hobby to metalworking would be beneficial
Hey there. Man what a great video. I’m getting into welding and looking to go to school for it. I’m hoping to do it in the side while working all the while trying to do some business for local farmers and fixing their farm equipment. Thank you for the great video and look forward to many more.
Thanks , learned a lot never knew about those pliers The only thing I have is an angle grinder which I got from harbor freight for like $15 but I hardly use it so it's perfect.
Wow... you are REALLY on a roll this month. The content is totally 5-star. Don't know how long you can keep pumping this great stuff out but will certainly enjoy it while you do. Good job!
For grinders I always get the 2for 1 box set one I set with cutting the other with grinding. Save time for prep work. for the table that will be a good start to help metal wielding this can teach wielding. Drill bits hole saws but yes also. Don't be cheap because if they brake taps also if they brake in your work they really can be a pain to get out
No offense but stick is so yesterday, very little need for it in most applications today, Mig is very easy just use the settings on the machine you are close enough. I have stick, Mig & Tig, haven't used the stick in over 10 yrs I guess.
Purchase the bare minimum, welder, helmet, gloves… then make your own tools… hammer, table, clamps etc. There is not many things that feel as rewarding than creating/building your own tools.
Tanx dude very informative. Only one thing, the Lincoln 210 mp doesn't tig aluminum, I know cuz I own one bought it to rig aluminum but found out too late tigs weld anything but aluminum
Love the tips and the recommendations that you mentioned in this video. I was looking foward to learning how to weld before I become a mechanic. Thanks again!!
Heavy cotton shirt (or welding jacket with leather sleeves) Jeans Boots Welding cap (or baseball cap) Welding hood Welding gloves That's about it. MAYBE a leather apron for easy access to most used tools.
@@steelmand You're correct sir, watched the video again and he did mention he's leaving out safety gear, which includes a helmet hood, b/c you should always be wearing that when you weld. Apologies for over looking that part of video.
New subscriber here. I am getting into welding and fabrication on my jeep projects. I need to save for a good welder. I really like the look of that welder
I been welding 17 years it's good video good job buddy however I grind with a cutting disc in the groove feathering the edges mostly on pipe. Pipe wheel is a cutting disc or a really thin grinding wheel I don't like those thick ones gouging your weld no thank you but if I am grinding anything 7 inch grinder But I got that 210 welder Solid core good for beginners but cant weld heavy duty shit but this machine does Dual shield I run a ton of Dual shield on it 0.45 wire co2 gas on 3/4" to 1" mostly in shop But your video is good for basic info
Good video, but if you can't afford $1000 for a welder to see if it's something that you may do, get a $100 flux core with .35 small wire spool (110v) . That way you can mess around without busting the bank, and I like flux core for some things. Do your research, and have fun too!
I bought a new lincoln 110 and use fluxcore. The machine can also run gas, but for the minimal amount of metal work that I do in my shop it seems to be an good option. If I remember correctly I spent around $750-800 for everything to get set up. That included the machine, auto tint helmet, additional wire, gloves, and other tools mentioned here. I spent some time practicing on various welds and material thickness. Overall pretty happy with the set up based on my needs
I'd agree on most of that, except for the fact of the cheap end welders don't produce the high quality welds that's needed for metal depending on thicknesses. Plus money comes and goes, ppl that don't know how to budget their money compared to those whom save up wisely and spend wisely goes a long way.
I got a $100 stick welder that says ZENY on the side and it seems pretty good on 120V, it'll do 25 to 75 amp all day long though it's maybe 30V OC. Have yet to run it on 220V @160 amp (60% Duty cycle) but maxing out a welder suggests something bigger would actually be the right tool for the job.
Thanks for the tip on not using a cut-off wheel for the wrong purpose. I've seen the results of an accident (where one disintegrated) and it was ugly. More people need to mention that.
For the metal-work-beginner the most important thing to start with is a workbench(1) and a vise(2). Angel-Grinder(3) is a must-have, indeed. Mandatory are the hand tools(4) like Skrewdriver, wrenches, hammer, pliers and so on. Not to forget a socket wrench set (5). These top 5 makes you ready to go. Next on the whish-list might be things like table drill press, welding machine, benchgrinder and other nice-to-haves!
30000 RPM? Really? WTF. Have you never read the specs on your grinders? 11000 RPM is pretty standard. The five inch wheel shouldn't be going faster than between 7 and 9.
This half-baked-shaky-cam while you are talking distracts me, why is that made this way? There is nothing wrong with a tripod? By the way: FX are mostly used to cover up the weak content (like in action-movies), so, lesser FX are more in the end ;)
@@t44e6 true mig welding is just argon, helium or a mix of both. When you include things like CO2, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen etc it stops being metal inert gas and becomes metal ACTIVE gas as those gas mixes react with the molten weld pool.

Hello, great video and very good advice. - Is there any chance that rebate is going to be offered again. I wanted to buy the 210MP, with the TIG Pack, but the rebate seems to have expired last year.
hey that MP210 does not tig aluminum.. it is a DC tig machine not AC so it is for steel and stainless steel mainly.. can use aluminum rods with the stuck welding function but thatll give poor results or can get a spool gun to mig aluminum.. i have a similar machine made by ESAB with the same setup and limits.. looking back id recommend buying a nice mig machine then when youre proficient with that buy a tig machine, tig will cover stick welding aswell, youre gonna need two tanks of gas to do mig and tig so masewell have two seperate welders and carts ect
WHADDUP 216! wasnt expecting to hear that!!! nice videos keep up the good work... and the editing is fine btw, with everyone's short attention span now-a-days you need to have constant stream of info and short concise videos

Hey Johnny, love the channel. I'm debating on a Linncoln 210MP or Eastwood MP250I. I have a dedicated 220VAC 50 amp outlet so 110VAC is not an issue for me. I see pros amaz cons to both. What are your recommendations?
The 210MP cannot TIG weld aluminum. It’s a DC machine only. Also, at the basic price point, it will not come with the accessories for the TIG as a torch and pedal.
@@simonhenriksen3924 even if you have the tig torch, that won't enable you to weld aluminium. You need an AC welding power source, in this case the promoted machine is DC. It will enable you to weld steel and stainless steel, albeit using the touch-start method, not the high frequency start that you get with an AC machine.
How about a drill, if you don't have one? Would a regular corded drill be enough, or do you need a strong drill, like a cordless drill? Is there any use for a regular woodworking cordless drill in your metalworking projects? BTW you can buy the hex shank drill taps for *A SIXTH* of the price on eBay, and they are great! A set of 6 for I think around $5!!
Of course a drill would be a prerequisite, but I'm assuming most people watching this video own a drill. I use the same drills I use for my woodworking in my metalworking, as I'm generally not drilling very large holes.
craigslist and facebook marketplace buddy. I got a 250 amp AC/DC stick welder for 100$. No beginner should start with a mig welder anyway. That's soft.
MiG is one of the best beginner formats for welding also most people don’t have a 220v plug to run a stick machine considering getting a 220v plug installed cost around 1,000 dollars by its self,just becouse you watched 1 welding video video doesn’t mean you know shit
@@walterallgeier2265 After I bought my welder I spent 100 dollars on a wire to run to my subpanel, ran the wire, and an electrician charged 200 to install the outlet. the welder can draw up to 80 amps so I choose 100 amp wire. 220v of course. 115 ft run from the outlet to my panel. Mig welding doesn't teach you shit its like pushing buttons. stick is the only way to learn properly.
I own 5 Lincoln welders, 2 flux core for the outdoor quick repairs for customers ( fences,doors etc) I have a Lincoln 3200 HD weld pac I use for Aluminum, 1 Lincoln 180 I run 85/15 Argon (220v) and the Lincoln 210 with 100% Co2 for window bars , metal doors light frame work, for stck welding I try to run 220v only. The only welders I use in my shop are Lincolns.
You for got the wire brush to clean the weld? That's what I use to lay another weld on top of the other weld. I don't use the chipping hammer that puts dents in your welded work. The chipping hammer is good for stick welding.
Note that the 210MP does not TIG weld aluminum, as it’s a DC-only machine. Aluminum requires AC to TIG weld. To weld aluminum with the 210MP requires a spool gun.

I run a non profit 501(c)3 equine assisted therapy program called Diego Ranch Inc. We work with children and adults with disabilities learning the love of a horse and healing through them. Our problem is we are always needing to weld aluminum and metal to keep our trailers running and other equipment. It get's really expensive to go to someone for repairs plus it's hard to find a aluminum welder to do the work. Everyone is asking us for help and now it's our turn to ask for help. Could you help us get a sponsorship on a welder and some tools to go along with the it. Hope to hear back from you and if you like you can check out our Diego Ranch Inc. Facebook page or website. Thanks again for your support.
If you're looking for a cheap multipurpose welder, lookup ct520D on Amazon. It's a Chinese design, but it does it all including plasma cutting. I paid $425 with the 4 year warranty. Don't start with a Lincoln, end up with a Lincoln after 5 years welding.
@Ruffian By Nature just ordered it. Should get here tomorrow. It sounds pretty decent, and the warranty makes me feel better about the buy. I saw one on Craigslist that's about 5 years old and is still kicking, but they wanted the same as brand new.
Good quality video but I’m gonna have to say most of them are irrelevant for welders I’ve been welding for around 4 years or so now and the best bits of kit I’d recommend is Welding pliers Good boots with no laces Decent gloves Small hammer & cold chisel And some decent headphones 😂
4 years later BUT I want to get into welding. I'd like to do marine things so mostly aluminum and stainless...any recommendations on a welder that won't kill my bank account? Lol thanks for the help!
I would suggest starting with stick when you’re teaching yourself to weld. Cheaper to get into for sure, and it will 100% make you a better welder, it really teaches muscle memory and fine motor control.
Instead of the hammer just get a $9 (with coupon) HF drill master grinder with s wire wheel that lives on it. Way quicker to click that on then use your good grinder for actual work.
Ughhh still living with mom wanting to get into this and other things but the garage is hoard town usa and im low on funds. Warehouse robot work isnt for me. I want a real trade i.jist dont know where to start. Herbs and tinctures brought me here haha I wanted to make a press and sketched it all out and thought itd be awesome but tools.of the trade are costly. Thanks for this info I'll have to figure something out.
Great tips on tools. I have switched from fibre cut off wheels to the Lenox diamond wheels. No black dust, they don’t break apart and send shrapnel flying across the shop and the diameter doesn’t change. They are pricey but I like em. Home Depot has a Diablo one for 19$
I like it when you’re talking about clamps and not using clamps with plastic on them and there you go popping up two videos specifically in both the clamps in each of them have plastic on them oh well it’s a good thing we’re not all perfect huh.
Like the video but the chipping hammer is more useless if one of the starting tools is an angle grinder put a Wire wheel and slag clean up is quick then put a flat or backing pad on and stick and flux core clean up is really quick.
I would definitely add a wire wheel for the grinder. Anytime I use stick or flux core welding I use that a lot more often than a chipping hammer. It’s quicker and it won’t leave any dings on the weld. Also a quality bastard file is very handy, especially after cutting metal, granted that is more of a hand tool.
Both great additions for sure!

Have this same welder for 4 years or so. After I got it dialed in it feels really professional and comparable to the nicer welders at work.

love you your vidio sir we want only arcwelding macine vidio best for work shop.!!
Many C-clamps are actually not steel, but cast-iron

Stick welding for me always .too many adjustments on Migs ive tried both and Stick is the way to go for me
No offense but stick is so yesterday, very little need for it in most applications today, Mig is very easy just use the settings on the machine you are close enough. I have stick, Mig & Tig, haven't used the stick in over 10 yrs I guess.
Try welding very thin tin together, for example fixing rust on a car. Stick would be impossible to use. Mig is the way to go

What about stick welder feature. For the money it’s a good process and the best way to learn to weld
Thanks for the list of items beginners must have.
Hit the nail on the head
if you want to weld Al or Stainless you can just buy the filler rod spools in that meterial man, they even make Stainless single shield.
I prefer a diamond blade over a grinding wheel.
Thanks for the great video, it doesn't matter how long we weld for as a job or even doing videos, we still learn something. Keep up the good work.

@@walterallgeier2265 After I bought my welder I spent 100 dollars on a wire to run to my subpanel, ran the wire, and an electrician charged 200 to install the outlet. the welder can draw up to 80 amps so I choose 100 amp wire. 220v of course. 115 ft run from the outlet to my panel. Mig welding doesn't teach you shit its like pushing buttons. stick is the only way to learn properly.
1500 is cheap for a welder honestly especially a multiprocess
wcjcnc I guess I messed up, I bought a new Millermatic 215. It was $2500. I've always wanted a good wielded.
Good tips, thanks!
Thanks man!
I own 5 Lincoln welders, 2 flux core for the outdoor quick repairs for customers ( fences,doors etc) I have a Lincoln 3200 HD weld pac I use for Aluminum, 1 Lincoln 180 I run 85/15 Argon (220v) and the Lincoln 210 with 100% Co2 for window bars , metal doors light frame work, for stck welding I try to run 220v only. The only welders I use in my shop are Lincolns.
You for got the wire brush to clean the weld? That's what I use to lay another weld on top of the other weld. I don't use the chipping hammer that puts dents in your welded work. The chipping hammer is good for stick welding.
Note that the 210MP does not TIG weld aluminum, as it’s a DC-only machine. Aluminum requires AC to TIG weld. To weld aluminum with the 210MP requires a spool gun.
Hi I am really interested about your presentation, and is there way contacting you?
we are looking ''machine workshop equipment/ and Welding and Metal Fabrication workshop equipment''
If you are interested to be part of the tenders, please feel free to contact me and I am happy to give you some information.
Best Regards

All of my welders are everlast. They've never given me any problems.
Mine is green as well. I've never had any trouble with it, but local shops anywhere in the country can repair your red and blue where your green has to be shipped to China or such for repair.
angle grinder, hard to take all this seriously when they angle grinder safety guarding is removed...... ooops, and not good specifically when he talk about wheels exploding
That's a nice welding helmet what kind is it ?
The 210 MP is a DC TIG machine and not really suited to welding aluminum.
I've got that welder, used a vulcan tig torch and has worked well.
This welder will NOT weld aluminum in the tig mode!!
The option for aluminum is a spool gun, more money and less than desirable results!!
Chris Gilbert a spool gun is pretty good if you know how to use it.
I run a non profit 501(c)3 equine assisted therapy program called Diego Ranch Inc. We work with children and adults with disabilities learning the love of a horse and healing through them. Our problem is we are always needing to weld aluminum and metal to keep our trailers running and other equipment. It get's really expensive to go to someone for repairs plus it's hard to find a aluminum welder to do the work. Everyone is asking us for help and now it's our turn to ask for help. Could you help us get a sponsorship on a welder and some tools to go along with the it. Hope to hear back from you and if you like you can check out our Diego Ranch Inc. Facebook page or website. Thanks again for your support.
Hey. Im thinking about taking up welding and just found this video. I have 3 questions for you before i spend any more money. How do I contact you?
Also if you drill a lot you NEED a drill press. It's so much easier to drill holes with a drill press.
Not a necessity for beginners but definitely useful!
@@craftedworkshop
most ppl nowadays don't know that there are table top small drill presses available that're also reasonably priced.
Christ enough with the jump cuts. I hope your other videos aren't this bad god damn.
If you're looking for a cheap multipurpose welder, lookup ct520D on Amazon. It's a Chinese design, but it does it all including plasma cutting. I paid $425 with the 4 year warranty. Don't start with a Lincoln, end up with a Lincoln after 5 years welding.
@Ruffian By Nature just ordered it. Should get here tomorrow. It sounds pretty decent, and the warranty makes me feel better about the buy. I saw one on Craigslist that's about 5 years old and is still kicking, but they wanted the same as brand new.
Good quality video but I’m gonna have to say most of them are irrelevant for welders I’ve been welding for around 4 years or so now and the best bits of kit I’d recommend is
Welding pliers
Good boots with no laces
Decent gloves
Small hammer & cold chisel
And some decent headphones 😂
4 years later BUT I want to get into welding. I'd like to do marine things so mostly aluminum and stainless...any recommendations on a welder that won't kill my bank account? Lol thanks for the help!
I would suggest starting with stick when you’re teaching yourself to weld. Cheaper to get into for sure, and it will 100% make you a better welder, it really teaches muscle memory and fine motor control.
Remarkable breath-holding power (nearly suffocated watching you lol), but great info
you: 6:00
me: haha "Stick" with
edit: Yo the 210 lincoln sucks at doing 6010 stick, and i did not know it could do tig, deadass?
Instead of the hammer just get a $9 (with coupon) HF drill master grinder with s wire wheel that lives on it. Way quicker to click that on then use your good grinder for actual work.
Ughhh still living with mom wanting to get into this and other things but the garage is hoard town usa and im low on funds. Warehouse robot work isnt for me. I want a real trade i.jist dont know where to start. Herbs and tinctures brought me here haha I wanted to make a press and sketched it all out and thought itd be awesome but tools.of the trade are costly. Thanks for this info I'll have to figure something out.
Great tips on tools. I have switched from fibre cut off wheels to the Lenox diamond wheels. No black dust, they don’t break apart and send shrapnel flying across the shop and the diameter doesn’t change. They are pricey but I like em. Home Depot has a Diablo one for 19$
Good info. Thanks!
I like it when you’re talking about clamps and not using clamps with plastic on them and there you go popping up two videos specifically in both the clamps in each of them have plastic on them oh well it’s a good thing we’re not all perfect huh.
Like the video but the chipping hammer is more useless if one of the starting tools is an angle grinder put a Wire wheel and slag clean up is quick then put a flat or backing pad on and stick and flux core clean up is really quick.
