Hi Tim, new welder and Sub here. Appreciate your video on TIG welding. At 59 years old it’s a new trade to add to my skill set. You’re never too old to learn a new skill!! Cheers!
I've watched many videos on stick, tig and mig welding on TH-cam and can safely say that you're are without doubt the best I've seen on here. Love you teaching method with no BS.
If you are new to TIG welding like me, this video will be the best 1/2 hour of your time! Thanks TIM! Excellent video! The Vulcan Protig 205 I just purchased from HF checks all the boxes... A/C, high frequency arc starter, pulsing, and foot pedal that Tim mentions. Can't wait to get started!
47 yrs old and just signed up for some classes at my local comm. collage for tig welding. Looking for a change in life outlook and i hear they have alot of apprentice programs. Your a great teacher bud. Thank you.
Thank you for your time and knowledge. I started stick welden in my dad’s garage when I was a kid. Then I got a mig. Now I just got a tig. Your video is very helpful, thank you again. And your a good teacher.
Tim, you have the most approachable and encouraging channel.you're also just so competent, clear, and well spoken... Im so so with a flux core, but now I'm dead set on learning to tig
this is very helpful information my grandpa has been in a wheelchair for a couple of years so I have been trying to learn how to use a tig but I have experience in mig and stick!thank you sm
Easy to understand. You are a natural born teacher. I am going to to be teaching myself to TIG weld soon and your videos are the most concise and get right to the point. Thank you and keep making videos.
I feel like a pro after watching this vid and idk how to tig weld😂 I wouldn’t fail a test having such an educated teacher like you😎 Keep up the good work💯
This is excellent and I can heartily recommend it to anyone interested in learning to TIG weld. I very much appreciate your efforts to share your knowledge and expertise with us. Thank you.
I really liked the pace you have to explain the basics. I wish I had an instructor like you when I started. Back then almost half of the bead was made out of tungsten, nowadays only a bit
Dude!!!! Thank you! I'm a structural duel shielded flux welder and have always wanted to get into stick and tig and your videos are great! I appreciate the time and effort you out in to help all of us out!
Hey Tim! I'm late for the game, but this is something that I have wanted to learn for a long time! The tradesmen in the family evaporated when I told them I wanted to learn it for art projects. Welding is a trade was their defense.🙄I'm 65 now. My cousins and uncles' backs are all jacked up and would make them a burden for me now, which is delicious humor to me. We have a local college program that is $600, which I am sure is a fine value, but social security is neither and that is just too much for my budget to bear. I've got learning challenges that have and are being diagnosed now, but over the years I've learned how to teach myself and I know my learning style. Motivation and building off of existing knowledge is the only way to train any adult, even ourselves. You have no idea how many projects I have been sitting on to do with a little metal and a torch! Anything that comes out all jacked up is something I call "abstract" and charge extra for~👍🏼🌻😆
Wow! Thank you SO much for sharing all your skills, tips and tricks! You are a perfect teacher: calm, breaking down everything into easy-to-understand bits, structured and easy going. I've never welded before but finding your channel have made me want to - and dare to - dive in to all forms of welding. (MIG now, but TIG and Stick is up next!) Thank you and I hope you feel inspired to continue to make these great great videos! Cheers from Sweden!
Yet another great video. I am newbie just getting started with welding. There is a lot of information for me here. Thank you so much! When I was thinking about getting started with welding one big question I had was what kind of welding to start with. After watching your videos on all kinds of welding I decided to go with TIG. Thanks for inspiring and educating newbies like me!
Very good Tim. Clear and precise. I would like to add to the “art” of cleaning. If one welds different metals, it’s critical to have separate components used for cleaning for each metal, and to just use them for the metal they’re first used with.
Dear Sir. I have watched many programs where the filler rod is laid on top of the joint to welded. It is well-over 35 years since I last welded, (I was a master welder at that time), and thus I assumed that technics had evolved, having watched your film, I now know that the film makers are wrong in their methodology. Thank you for confirming my out of date' knowledge. Respectfully yours Rob A.
Thank you sir, lots of great advice. You have taught me a lot in the last three minutes of this video regarding the problem I was having with the addition of filler metal. Thank you again, out to the shop. LOL
I really have to commend you on your work on this channel which includes this video also. It does what is says, i.e. teaches you TIG basics. And it does that from perspective of absolute beginner. A bit about equipment, a good bit on how it works and some tips and tricks. No BS and with good attitude. I feels like, after watching this video, you could go out and make a probably ugly but functional weld. Thanks a lot for this. An idea maybe for the future. How to effectively use inverter stick welder machine as TIG welder. I see that a lot of hobby machines have this functionality.
Thank you so much! I really enjoy making these videos. It would be fun to set up a little scratch start rig with a cheap inverter stick machine. There are several little TIG inverters with high frequency start that aren't much more expensive. I'm going to be reviewing one in the next few weeks to see how it works for TIG and Stick.
Hi Tim, i'm on a !st Year Engineering Diploma- Welding Techniques Course. I started on tig, for the first time 3 weeks ago. And I'm finding unbearably hard. I seam or butt mild steel plate. i finding so crap to get a good looking weld. The tutor (who's NOT so good at teaching), told me the torch should be 80*, now I've found out it's works well at being at 45*. I can already oxy acetylene & mig. Great tutorial video as well!!!
You crammed so much useful info for the beginner in here, excellent vid. My torched arrived today and I can’t wait to get started with lift tig😎 Cheers Tim!
One of the best basic primers I have seen on trying to get started TIG Welding. Love the fact that you give basic exercises to improve the basic skills need to achieve reasonably acceptable weld quality as an absolute beginner. Especially when welding aluminum! Thanks, subscribed, will be checking out ALL your videos.
Seen guys put the tungsten in a drill and use that’s against the grinder. Also wearing respirator while sharpening is a must, lots of nasties in the tungsten
Hi Tim. Great video! I watched several videos that all suggested the stubby gas lenses. So l went ahead and bought a set. I found them extremely uncomfortable to use. One thing l haven't heard brought up is the size of your hands. I'm well over 6 feet tall and have pretty massive hands. I have found that the longer lengths of the standard gas lenses have allowed me to adopt a more comfortable grip on the torch. Other than that, great content. Doesn't assume any prior knowledge and is very comprehensive. Cheers.
Wow this looks like an expensive thing for a beginner. My fluxcore is great, but maybe a next step up for me is learning stick. These are great vids Tim. Learning so much from them all! (I also learned on the Titanium 125 from your channel 😊👍🏼). 🇨🇦
Really appreciate your videos my friend and even more your natural teaching abilities mate - thank you for such a seriously outstanding work moreover the exquisite easily simple basic languages, alongside too all the real necessary jargon and industry vernacular to point of fact 😁🙂 you're just wonderful my friend !!! You've earned yourself a new sub here for sure
Hi Tim I’m hooked on your explanations regarding different welding techniques, having received a Rohm mig welder for Xmas , I’m keen to get going , just one request if I may, could you show some different types of metal pieces please as I hear you mention several, and I kind of glaze over lol 🥴 , don’t want to sound a complete noob when I visit my local engineers and ask for some off cut bits of metal !! Great vids thanks mate 👍😁
Bro your channel is incredible awesome, im learning a lot,i was thinking if you could make a video of using a tig torch on a regular inverter stick welding machine DC
Great video! One notice - your skin get sunburn (as well as you need to protect your eyes) not because the light is so bright, but because it produces UV light. :)
I'm interested in that little plate with the holes that is sitting on your table, is this homemade or does some company sell these? I'd like a nice flat plate that is small that I can just pull out when needed. Thanks for the vid!
Great teaching! It's been 35 years since I did any tig and I'm looking forward to getting into it again. Qurstion: I don't have a garage I'll need to set up in a basement. I saw a video about using a carbon filter and fan to remove fumes. Would my argon gas be an issue without great ventilation? Maybe just do shorter sessions for dissipation ? Thanks. Tony
Argon is a "simple asphyxiant" which means it's not actively going to kill you but it's also not air so in a high enough concentration it will replace oxygen and you die.
Thanks for the tips and sharing your experience. I'm a new subscriber. I have a project that requires me to learn welding aluminum. I own stick & Mig welders. The learning curve seems much more difficult than welding steel. Cleanliness using Acetone and dedicated cleaning brushes, torch angle, tungsten length and sharpening angle, and using AC for aluminum. The project calls for 1" square aluminum tubing with a 1/20" wall thickness. Is TIG overkill for this material that could be brazed? Also I'll need to weld the project outside. Do you have any tips for outside TIG welding?
Tim, you so much for putting this video together. I am looking to buy a TIG welder and start welding. The video was extremely thorough and all the tips and techniques about welding were excellent. My budget for the welding machine is $1,000. Any thoughts as to which one would be the best for the buck. Hobart, Eastwood, Lincoln, and Miller would seem to be the best out there. Although the last two I mentioned can be quite expensive. Not to say they aren't worth it. I will be using it for my artwork. The welding will be incorporated into pieces as needed but I've done this work for several years without welding. Thanks again Tim.
Thanks for posting! At that price point, I’d check out the Primeweld TIG225X. I have one in the shop now and have been really impressed. Here’s a review I did on it recently: th-cam.com/video/ddIveqH1uQM/w-d-xo.html Primeweld is also a good company to work with and they include a 3 year warranty. Another one in that range that I have heard good things about is the AHP alphaTIG, though I have never run it myself. I have used a number of Lincoln and Miller machines and they are nice, but the price is usually a bit higher and the don’t always come with all the accessories you need. I hope this helps!
Hi Tim - Been watching your channel for a while now and love it. I'm trying to learn TIG and have a cheap 3 in one machine which I bought a couple of years ago for the plasma cutting feature. It has a push button TIG torch which I would like to replace with a foot pedal. Is it possible to convert a push button setup to a foot pedal?. Maybe it's time to buy a more expensive machine 🤔
You can learn to weld. I'll show you exactly what to do in my affordable online welding courses at courses.timwelds.com.
I have a nitrogen tank and regulator can I exchange the nitrogen tank for an argon tank and use my nitrogen regulator on it
Humble, helpful, credible. You are a natural teacher. Please keep posting!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely agree!
I also agree. Very easy to learn from this man. Keep em coming sir.
you all probably dont give a damn but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?

Definitely one of the better beginner Tig tutorials on youtube.
Wow, thanks!

Tim, you have the most approachable and encouraging channel.you're also just so competent, clear, and well spoken... Im so so with a flux core, but now I'm dead set on learning to tig
You covered a lot of stuff I feel other channels totally skip over. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
this is very helpful information my grandpa has been in a wheelchair for a couple of years so I have been trying to learn how to use a tig but I have experience in mig and stick!thank you sm

Thank you so much! I really enjoy putting them together.
@@TimWelds you're welcome! It's easy to tell how much you enjoy it as well as how experienced you are 👍
Thanks, certainly the most informative discussion on the basics of TIG that I've come across thus far.
Great Job Tim. I'm sure all of us out here in TH-cam land appreciate every time you make a video. Thank You !

probably the best beginner video out there ....thank you for your time and info!!!
Best welding channel on TH-cam,
Thanks for simplifying welding for the want to learn welding across the globe.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Tim for such an informative intro into TIG welding, I’ve learnt more listening to you than in the past few years! 👍
I've always been passively interested in welding. Now I straight up want to get started. Thanks!
Took notes and honestly I learned a lot of basics
Bro....After watching this video, you made me call my podiatrist... Because this video rocked my socks off.
Keep up the great work!
Dear Sir.

I use a Tig finger daily it really helps
Also use the Tig finger XL at times
Never had the confidence to do this but after watching I think I could do this. Thank you so much for doing this video.
Thank you sir, lots of great advice. You have taught me a lot in the last three minutes of this video regarding the problem I was having with the addition of filler metal. Thank you again, out to the shop. LOL

Thanks for the great video! I've been MIG welding for many years, but am about to try my hand at TIG. This video was very helpful.
An excellent treatise ! Points well covered & a constant talking speed & audio level.
very clear explanation, I am a newbie

Hi Tim! This was a very useful and interesting video. I am just starting out using TIG and I will use your videos to learn from. Thanks!
Line of sight very important to see everything arc length and puddle and weld size ! And your filler rod too !
One of the best tig videos I have seen so far. Thanks for posting.
You crammed so much useful info for the beginner in here, excellent vid. My torched arrived today and I can’t wait to get started with lift tig😎 Cheers Tim!
Awesome! It may be a little frustrating at first, but you're going to love it!
Where to buy like sample projects to weld?
Best welding tutorials, period.👍👏👌👏👌👍👏👌
Very helpful video. I am learning Tig welding for 4 months
Glad it helped!

GREAT VIDEO!! thanks
Thanks, Tim!
Great information , thanks!
Tim, you so much for putting this video together. I am looking to buy a TIG welder and start welding. The video was extremely thorough and all the tips and techniques about welding were excellent. My budget for the welding machine is $1,000. Any thoughts as to which one would be the best for the buck. Hobart, Eastwood, Lincoln, and Miller would seem to be the best out there.

Hi Tim - Been watching your channel for a while now and love it. I'm trying to learn TIG and have a cheap 3 in one machine which I bought a couple of years ago for the plasma cutting feature. It has a push button TIG torch which I would like to replace with a foot pedal. Is it possible to convert a push button setup to a foot pedal?. Maybe it's time to buy a more expensive machine 🤔
Great video!
