I’m a pipe welder and I’m so glad for men like you that have helped me out in my career. But yes 6010 and 7018 are different ways to run them but what I can tell you is to pay attention to your angle, speed and the toes of your weld. And listen to these old timers they’re very knowledgeable.
I'm a retired pipewelder of 32 years. Ur right about these new so called pipewelders. They think they know everything about pipewelding. They don't know squat. Most won't listen to us old timers because they know it all. I didn't do downhill much in my career but I agree with ur technique for downhill. My pipewelding was mostly high pressure pipe with uphill technique. 6010 root, 7018 fill &cap. Keep up the good work my brother & maybe these wannabes will learn something. Peace!!
@@TaylorWelding I guess we all did when we were young. Everyone is a pipewelder until the real pipewelder shows up. Take care brother & keep up the good work! Peace
People can weld in order to finance their lives or doing any other number of things they decide to do in order to finance their lives and welding isn't a bad way to go about that because really "you can do anything you want to do with welding" just like any of thing you decide to do. For instance, you can work for a man who owns a grass mower repair service or you can own your own mower repair service. Or you can work at burger king or own your own cafe. And that's how knowing something about welding is: you can start your own business and do it your way or spend your life living someone else's dream.
I am a pipe fitter/combo welder going on 10 years. I have always loved teaching the younger generation what took me years to figure out. I appreciate you taking your time to teach those that have a drive to learn. I have always wanted to learn all there is to know for my trade. I have welded a wide variety of metals and processes. The one thing I have not been able to master is the bottom of a pipe running downhill rod. I have pictures to show what I’m talking about but it basically always wants to leave a hole on the bottom tie in. I don’t struggle with the top and sides so I started welding the bottom half then flipping it over. That way I can weld two bottom halves but 50% of the time I get a hole on the tie in. What is your suggestion? I’ve heard people say to flick the rod, flick it away, long arc towards you, long arc out taking bigger and bigger steps getting further and further away. The last one seems to work the best for me but still get a crater from time to time.
Your a bad ass my brother. Keep up the good content man! There a reason why the good Lord has blessed you in a successful career (now may have not always been the easiest I recon) but is because of the man you are and you willingness to help. Just thought I’d throw that out. Look forward to more of your content! Definitely Gona give the ammo cans a try. Have always heard of it but always just keep them thrown in the helpers side I’m the back in the cab haha. Take care my brother! S. NM Rig Welder
Thank you Matthew. That means a lot coming from another rig Welder. It was not the easiest for sure. Give that ammo can A try. It’s a 20 mm Thank you for watching and thank you for the kind words
don't forget when talking about 6010 such as 5P or 5P+ (there's a difference in these two rods and how they act) and don't forget that 6011 is a more versatile fast freeze rod than 6010 because you can use it on AC or DC whereas 6010 is only run on 6010
Enjoy watching your videos sir!! Got on a job where I had to down hill the root and up hill 7018. Let's just say I'm not much of a stick hand mainly tig!!😂 Found your videos and have got way better from when I started. Hell even thinking of selling my dinosaur sa250 with a Perkins 3 cylinder and getting a vantage now!! Thank you and I really appreciate your advice sir!!
Im about to go back to school to take a pipe course while I'm working this structural job. I'm glad I have the little experience that I do because it makes visualizing what your saying much easier. #thefringe keep em coming man 🤙
#The Fringe I really appreciate your videos I've been welding for about 10 years now but there's still a lot there for me to learn I like what you're doing thanks
Hey chris really appreciate your videos just started a 6g class ...completed 2g /3g unlimited plate 6010 root 7018 fill n cap....cut n bent both pieces passed bend test now on 4g really struggling with the root having a hell of a time seeing the keyhole....any advice or could u do a video of this....thanks alot man big fan keep up the good work...alot of us new welders really need guys like u
A video I haven’t really seen is cutting and prepping the straps from a bell hole and branch test . I’ve heard of people getting looked out from taking out too much metal when grinding down the bead or cap , also making the strap to small. Might be a good idea for a video
I've been a rig welder specialising in pipe for the last 25yrs, and I completely agree with what you said the gen x'ers are mostly pathetic. I had a helper who spent more time on his phone than working. Needless to say he got run off. If a person wants to learn I will spill my knowledge to them and help them out. If they think they know it all then My lips remain sealed. 6010 can be the easiest rod to run with a little practice or the hardest. When I was taught ,the guy that taught me told me to use both hands and become good at that. Mainly because two righty's on an uphill stretch is ok for one but not the other. One guy will blackout after a few passes. In was also told watch everyone you can and take something from each and try and make it part of your technique. Same with processes don't rely on just one to pay the bills. up here in Alberta we have to use multiple processes to keep the qc guys happy after they go to a trade show where the salesman says with this process each welder can weld 400 inches a day.
400 inches a day! Damn. I’ve never been to Canada but I want to go. I’ve got a trip planned to Saskatchewan but I’m not gonna take the vaccine so I’m probably not gonna go there either. That’s what I did I watched everybody I could. And I had some really good men teach me. I think generation Z will wake up. I hope so. Gonna be hard to make a living Peking on the phone
I'm part lf the millennial generation and the fact that most of us are sorry and have the mentality that the world owes them something makes me strive everyday to be more like my grandfather and great grandfather's generation. You get what you earn and nothing else. I thank everyone of yall taking the time to explain all of this and trying to make us better not only at our trades, but better people also. Stay safe!
what rod angle do you have on the bottom? ive seen videos saying forward some pointed back to you and to the middle of the pipe. I really struggle to get some good beads on the bottom
Thank you sir for what you, just subscribed and also just got a job working at a shipyard doing structural but man o man how so much I need to learn pipe. Got me some pipe scraps and gonna practice at home when I have extra time using your techniques #thefringe
You mentioned "send me your picture of the problem with your weld". Where do I send it to. I have been struggling with my branch 6010-8010.. 12"---375 wall. I really need help with the throat.
#thefringe, Not sure if you have already done a video about this or not but I am getting ready to finish welding school and really like downhill pipe welding. I live in Florida and haven't been able to find any folks who have worked on an oil and gas pipeline. How does one go about breaking into the industry? Do i have to start off as a helper or can I come in as a welder? I know with our current environment that these type of jobs maybe harder to find but I am just looking to be pointed in the right direction. I appreciate your time and thank you in advance. PS, love your channel!
#thefringe what causes trapped slag inside the ripples of your bead? I brush it with a wire wheel and I still see small reflections of porosity/slag in my ripples. Very small but evident nonetheless
I did figure 8s worked for me up hill or down hill. Didn't go to school but old head show me how to weld pipe. I never had leak trust me when you turn on water you will know. One guy had nuclear certifications his weld did look good but on his first weld it almost looked like water gun shooting out.
Would you say 798 is going to have opportunities for folks with pipe welding experience? Journeyman pipefitter/welder. But I remember sometime around 2016, there were an infinite amount of people trying to join 798 without luck. So it steered me away.

hey chris ive been getting some pipe coupons from the scrapyard that aren’t the most square cut and theyre also a little egged so it it makes for a little hi lo. its good real world practice but ive been struggling with the bead since i dont have a remote on my sa200 yet. Could you do a video on beading tight & open sides on pipe by just thinning the land and coming back over to fix IP? #TheFringe
#thefringe. I see you are always welding down hill. But I hear other channels say the up hill is a stronger weld. What are your thoughts on that. I down hill when I can (I need to practice my up hill)
I guess they say that because you can use a 7018 if you go up hill. It doesn’t really matter it’s all a bunch of BS. I’ve never seen a pipe weld break my whole career
Iv went to my 12” butt weld test and branch test and I busted do to lack of fusion on the cap I thought I had it I passed the branch test but I’m struggling with the butt weld what can I do to avoid this
#thefringe sup uncle Chris😏 it’s so upsetting sometimes in the machine shop I’ll see guys that are very talented at what they do but they just don’t want to be bother to teach these kids or anyone it’s like they get afraid that someone’s going to take their job.

Exactly what I needed help with, my hot pass at the bottom appreciates it!!
Every time you said, "weld small" I thought of Mel Gibson in The Patriot teaching his kid to "Aim small, miss small." Good advice...both of those. 🙂

Go past the bottom. Weld up the other side a lil bit and turn it down
I will try and make a video the next time I get on some pipe.
Man you are absolutely correct cause when we should up we had to learn whatever it took to take care of our babies and wives
