Sometimes when I watch your welding I just want to just give up. This is a prime example. I would have thought filling those gaps in one pass was impossible. Welding that pipe joint in two passes and having it look like it was welded by a robot just leaves me dumb struck. Still the best welding vids on TH-cam. Please keep them coming.
Every employer I have had said that I was the best all round welder they ever have seen. Nope! Jody is the best I ever seen. I couldn't hold a candle to you Jody.
Its insane that that weld (to me as a shoemaker when it comes to welding) looks phenomenal and your wishing it looked better. Amazing to watch technique.
Props to the camera guy. Editing (cutting between feeds back and forth) was top notch. I like most of the other welding channels on youtube, but yours is the go-to. :) Down-hand can make very sound welds. Down-hand is the technique of choice in equipment/ repair and commercial welding applications. Down-hand is nice when it comes to dealing with copious gap. We don't always have the option of flipping stuff around or busting the fit and re-cutting new steel/metal. I like FCAW too. GMAW is nice. I tried copying like you do when it comes to tracing the puddle's profile. It helps me crank the Volts up and still have proper crowning. Thank you for another good video !
Nice Jody, thanks. I have officially watched every one of your videos now! Still learning and perfecting Mig. Progression is a bit slow with family time but nonetheless having a blast every moment I get in the garage! Love your videos man! Be blessed!!!
You’re video’s are the best tutorial videos on TH-cam, I feel totally informed on the subject. You should probably teach people how to make videos... thanks
im always fascinated by your art sir, i learn alot just by watching your videos..i have a welding experience for 3 yrs in japan, tig and mig welding, but now i have come home(philippines) hoping to go back to japan to continue my welding career...thank you for the vids, its alot of help especially to a newbie like me.. God bless sir and the team
When I was an apprentice welder back in the 70's the company I worked for had wanted to get me working with the MIG process and had a BOC (British oxygen Company) come and show me how to use the process and show how advantageous it could be to the company and the down hill open square edge butt weld was the first weld I did and it amazed me how after completing a few test runs that you could not tell from what side I had actually welded from it had me looking in astonishment and so much the demonstrator had said once I finished my apprenticeship i should apply for a job with him as he put it I had the knack. I did but he had left only one day to be reunited with him as he was a technical director of a welding supplies company and i was employed to go to companies where they were having weld issues and for me to go with boiler suit in hand and address the issues. Satisfaction of helping fellow welders get over problems was almost worth more than the salary, not really but close. With regards to the fillet pass on the tube and flange I would of single stringer bead a root pass and cap with a weave, just my own opinion
Happy with my mp220 just need to learn an Amps to Volts conversion eg 1/8 = .125"=125A start point =??.?V .. I use stickout adjustments to change heat. On this weld I'd run the auto setting with V. toped out or 1 notch below, to satisfy the 3/16 standard stickout on pipe side and add 1/8-3/16" stickout on thinner plates ection of the v motion. Longer =colder shorter =hotter (more wire =larger resistor in circuit=fewer amps at the arc) Nice work as always I learn something new from you.
Great video !! Thanks for showing also the problem with the ground so we can learn from it. And btw how do you distinguish the ground issue from a setting in the machine that would need adjustment if I run through the same problem?
Ahoy! Great instruction as always. How 'bout a conversation about preheat/post heat procedures. seems to be a knowledge base worth understanding better. Cheers!
Tell your Son-in-Law to wear clear safety glasses to protect his eyes from the UV rays coming off the weld arc. I also recommend that everyone wear UV protection under their helmet. It's a cheap fix for a big problem. Corrective glasses, like Jody wears, will also protect you. You don't want to have to get Cataract surgery in both eyes, like I had to.
But a proper welding mask should filter out UV. Otherwise there would hardly be any sense in using one, you could also just wear sunglasses with dark shade.
@@JanFlycaster There are a several reasons to wear eye protection under your hood. True ALL welding masks and hoods filter out UV. However, I recommend that people wear safety glasses under their hood to protect their eyes when their hood is not down. Like when you are getting ready to strike an arc and accidentally arc while flipping your hood down. Safety glasses will protect your eyes from dingo balls bouncing around inside your helmet while you are welding. Also it will protect you from arc flash from nearby welders. You can get flashed while your hood is up, obviously. And while your hood is down from a welder behind you. The UV can reflect off the glass on the inside of your helmet and give you a sore eye the next day. How do I know this? Because it's happened to me in a tight space with several welders working at once.
@@funnlivinit reflection from other welders is a problem, yes. But I just wanted to point out, that, if you are a DIY welder and do not weld all day with multiple people working around/with you, eye protection under your helmet is not really mandatory. A little additional security does not hurt, but people do not need to get scared for no reason. Also, many people are welding with automatic helmets in which case you light the arc while the hood is done already.
Josh Huß still doesn’t matter if you weld every once in a while or all the time. Always wear safety glasses underneath the helmet. There’s been multiple times where I’ve been welding and sparks would somehow manage to get underneath my lid and bounce off my glasses. It only takes one time for you to have a bad day lol always protect your eyes
I love you guys but I'm really excited about this one because it's all about it and how to make a difference and it can help to get your own life and the rest of the world... 🐏
Jody, could you explain how you come up with the width of the root pass opening. I'm just a hobbyist but that 5/32 gap looked very wide and intimidating.
Hello. My name is Gabriel and I´m writing from Argentina. I Have a question, those 289 WPS, how much amps or how much IPM are? GREETINGS AND THANKS FOR HELP.
Sometimes I use a tack stack method. Set it hot, almost twice as hot. Start tacking, let each tack cover half of the last tack. Watch the glow start to fade before progressing but never allow the last tack to completely loose its orange color before tacking again.
If you know how to weld stick and tig, then learning mig would be easy. It's pretty much just, point an pull the trigger.. Especially with the new welding machines.
I've had great luck with that upside down v when going uphill like this. I still get more crown than I like though, what do you recommend to level it out? I sure do like these videos, you got a lot more information and camera angles in this one. Thanks!
So, on something round like this. I like to make short steps and loops. I’ll start with a short step right into the corner, then go back and loop over it.
hope your technique make my manifold leak free without warp flages i test it with water i make it leak free only if not stop but this warp flages even if i bolt on x3 flage together only 3rd flage not warp..mig its colder than tig i afraid of leak and low my hand movement speed hope this time make it sussefull always same result leak free=warp flage i try stop and continue later but this leak water on test
Unkess you are using dual shield or flux core wire why go uphill. With plain wire I have always gone down hill and passed every test I have ever taken. The only time I go uphill with a mig is with dual shield or flux core because that is much like stick welding but with a mig.

One of the most detailed and professional welding channels on TH-cam
i’m going to my first welding competition it’s pipe to plate and i’m freaking out watch your videos gives me confidence
Every employer I have had said that I was the best all round welder they ever have seen. Nope! Jody is the best I ever seen. I couldn't hold a candle to you Jody.
Ah,the old Huntsman 411P!Been using mine for longer than I care to admit,can honestly say it's my favorite helmet by a long shot!
Its insane that that weld (to me as a shoemaker when it comes to welding) looks phenomenal and your wishing it looked better. Amazing to watch technique.
You make this look so easy. My welds never seem to come out looking that good.
Keep practicing mate, that wasn't a pretty weld, hes an amazing tig welder but not much chop with the mig
From watching these videos, I've learned the practice of preparation!! Get the material clean!! No matter what type of steel it is
Props to the camera guy. Editing (cutting between feeds back and forth) was top notch.
I like most of the other welding channels on youtube, but yours is the go-to. :)
Down-hand can make very sound welds.
Down-hand is the technique of choice in equipment/ repair and commercial welding applications.
Down-hand is nice when it comes to dealing with copious gap. We don't always have the option of flipping stuff around or busting the fit and re-cutting new steel/metal.
I like FCAW too. GMAW is nice.
I tried copying like you do when it comes to tracing the puddle's profile. It helps me crank the Volts up and still have proper crowning.
Thank you for another good video !

Another great video THANK YOU Jodi for all the info over the years and the PODCAST listen to it every Monday before going in to work !
By far the best quality welding up close shots
You’re video’s are the best tutorial videos on TH-cam, I feel totally informed on the subject. You should probably teach people how to make videos... thanks

Those welds looked great to me! Thanks for another great video.
Welding and fabricating for old car restoration for 35 years, welding still looks more like magic than science.

Another fantastic video. Please Jody, some videos using an Everlast multiprocess.
Nice job with the video shots in this one. Really liked all the different angles shown.
Jody you are a true artist. I've got a long way to go before I can weld as good as you with my powerarc welder.
Happy with my mp220 just need to learn an Amps to Volts conversion eg 1/8 = .125"=125A start point =??.?V .. I use stickout adjustments to change heat.

Nice work as always I learn something new from you.
I like that mig knuckle!! Might even work while oxy-acetylene torch work
Yet another great video Jody! Keep it up!!! I’m gonna reload stock of my mig knuckles and TIG fingers
I am portuguese welder and i am shocked! Nice MIG WELDS!
Great video !! Thanks for showing also the problem with the ground so we can learn from it. And btw how do you distinguish the ground issue from a setting in the machine that would need adjustment if I run through the same problem?
Damn... my welds suck. Well done, sir. On reminding me that there's always room for improvement.
good tip showing grinding a transition zone for the next start to keep it hot ... so as to try to avoid leaks...
Great videos. Thank you
Thanks Jodie as always I learned from ur teachings
You are good trainer sir
Finally MIG welding again !!! 👍 🎇
Awesome video Jody. Great tips for the weekend warriors. Really nice tie in btw. Thanks for the video
Ahoy! Great instruction as always. How 'bout a conversation about preheat/post heat procedures. seems to be a knowledge base worth understanding better. Cheers!
Nice and exelent job Jody
Thanks
Great video! So clear!
How would you reduce the crown ? A little hotter ? or less wire ?
MIG Knuckle...Must be related to the Pimp Knuckle lol. Great video and a cool product Jody
Stfu
Do you have any videos of you running .045 mig roots? If so can you post another one
Awesome job. I would really like to see a cut and etch of that fillet weld.
Beautiful passes Sir. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video. Thanks. How about out of position 5F pipe to plate with 7018?

@@dustinopper9845 I am welding TIG, no sparks there. We were primarily talking about UV protection up until now.
Very nice as usual
VERAMENTE BELLA LA SOLDATURA SALUDOS
I love you guys but I'm really excited about this one because it's all about it and how to make a difference and it can help to get your own life and the rest of the world... 🐏
Молодец мужик. Привет из России )
This os one work of quiality.very godoy biutufull Weld
I see u went back to an old huntsman hood with a 2x4 lens , great
Show, estava procurando um exemplo dessa posição de soldagem na MAG , estou com um trabalho parecido para fazer. Obrigado. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
great lesson,
Jody, could you explain how you come up with the width of the root pass opening. I'm just a hobbyist but that 5/32 gap looked very wide and intimidating.
Can u show us how to mig weld Stainless wire going up?
looks like sorcery to me haha, very satisfying to watch
Can you make it on 1.2mm wire???
Thank you mr jody your work help me i lurn meny triks thanks again sorry for my ingles
still sell the MIG knuckle? cant see it on website
Great video! Would you need to grind a spot for a tie in where the weld meets at the end of the weld (the top)?
TakeCare
Bill
No because the bead is already hot when it gets to the top, at the beginning it starts off cold that is why you need to grind it back.
Is this machine capable of spray arc transfer in MIG for 1/4" (or practical?)
Oi como chama essa protecao que vc usa na mao pra nao queimar com a solda obrigado
How do you get the gap so even? And how do you set a gap to the right spacing?
Nice video Jody 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
you could make the same video but with stick 7018 1/8 please🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
what would you change to stop the weld crowing?
To much sparks. Is there is any root process like an stt or wise root?
but does it comply with ISO- 5817? 3:06
Hello. My name is Gabriel and I´m writing from Argentina. I Have a question, those 289 WPS, how much amps or how much IPM are? GREETINGS AND THANKS FOR HELP.
How could I get the MIG KNUCKLE for Spain? don't let me buy it from here - SPAIN. SOMEWAY TO BUY IT PLEASE??
Have you ever over heated this machine.?
Профессионально!👍👍👍
How does the everlast 221 stack up to this miller 220?
Hi Miller I have a experience in this job but I don't get the job
MAKE A VIDEO COMPARING THE MILLER 220 TO THE ESAB REBEL 205
you edited the video sir am sure because this is welding like a robot :O
Why my Millermatic 211 speed is from 10-100 and yours is in the 100's?? I am trying to get down wire speed with amperage
Sir 3g welding me kitna gep hona chahiye
Awesome videos j, what do u use to shoot & edit ur videos (rig specs program) when ur on the move
Ferramenta afiada muito bom
What size wire?
Sometimes I use a tack stack method. Set it hot, almost twice as hot. Start tacking, let each tack cover half of the last tack. Watch the glow start to fade before progressing but never allow the last tack to completely loose its orange color before tacking again.
Awesome weld
Where’s the 220 AC/DC stick review
I noticed you don't use a auto darkening helmet. Why not?
What about that same position but 61grain and 81grain flux
Awesome, how can a person learn mig. I don't have a mig machine only smaw(stick) and gtaw(tig) welding machine
If you know how to weld stick and tig, then learning mig would be easy.
It's pretty much just, point an pull the trigger.. Especially with the new welding machines.
MiG is the easiest of the processes.
Thank you.
I thought you would hold just a split second longer on the 1/8th pipe side
Is that flux core
Gmaw
Ótima aulas de soldagem mais terias que ter legendas em português brasileiro ou dublado..
Excelente
Super
Any time I try welding up I get a huge blob built up at the bottom.
I've had great luck with that upside down v when going uphill like this. I still get more crown than I like though, what do you recommend to level it out? I sure do like these videos, you got a lot more information and camera angles in this one. Thanks!
Synergic, buddy, 21 sentury
cut and etch???
Is that hand pad on your store
yes it is weldmongerstore.com/collections/frontpage/products/mig-knuckle
So, on something round like this. I like to make short steps and loops. I’ll start with a short step right into the corner, then go back and loop over it.
hope your technique make my manifold leak free without warp flages i test it with water i make it leak free only if not stop but this warp flages even if i bolt on x3 flage together only 3rd flage not warp..mig its colder than tig i afraid of leak and low my hand movement speed hope this time make it sussefull always same result leak free=warp flage i try stop and continue later but this leak water on test
Молодец
Очень хорошие уроки. Если не трудно покожите пожалуйста как варит 3 шва 5 и 7 швов на двух тавровом швелере H pim
Круто 👍
Unkess you are using dual shield or flux core wire why go uphill. With plain wire I have always gone down hill and passed every test I have ever taken. The only time I go uphill with a mig is with dual shield or flux core because that is much like stick welding but with a mig.
