it will break again. Even if you silicon "cool" it and V bevel the entire break, it will break again. Cast is extremely dirty and the mixture isn't consistent, so you have a lot of dirty spots or high iron deposits in it. Sure, you can weld it, but it's eventually going to break right at the toe of your weld.
I'm hoping to start the apprentice program for UA430 here in Tulsa and I've been watching your videos for the last two weeks. Your videos are filled with a lot of great information. I really appreciate this videos. I hope I get into the program and do a great job. Thank you Austin for making these videos
Thanks for the great video, I'm going to start nick testing some of my welds - and thanks for including the broken vise clip, it's nice to see that those kinds of things happen to the best of us ...
I bought a vise about that size for my personal use in our shop. I let one guy use it and he managed to break the vise off like that by putting a ten foot cheater on a piece of round bar to bend it. No bend but it did snap the vise off.
What volumetric NDT I carried out on your test welds ? Surely by carrying out bend coupons only the areas specified for bending are known to be defect free
Eric Turner I’m trying not to say a bad word when something like that happens. My wife says I shouldn’t. So- after 34 years lm trying to listen to her. #$&@
How long did it take you to get your pipeline Cert? I'm looking to weld as a career when I'm out of highschool. I'm hoping to become a pipeline welder, and I'm trying to get an idea about the certs and how long it takes to get them.
Man that would be a tough situation. I’d say relax and enjoy the finer things in life, for the time being. Maybe socialize with others on social media for now, start building your network. And contact list. Your network is just as vital as your skill set in this line of work. Great question. I’m glad you asked. I hope this was helpful. Check out my inner circle if you haven’t already. It could be a good place to meet others in the welding industry. Here is a link so you can read about it. arosswelding.mn.co/
Have you ever thought about getting into tig, and checking out refinery rig welding? I just started welding, I bought a 300 and got set up for tig and stick. I live two blocks from a Sinclair refinery. Your videos have been great! Keep em coming
When your off work for a year you think about doing a lot of differant things. thats good being near refinery but you dont have a job there and might not ever work there. Might be a good place to work though. . Im thinking the refinery has a contractor and that contractor hires rig welders. best bet be a shutdown temporary. it could happen but have a backup plan
Jeff Y I do work out here. Have for ten years. I’m fairly connected. The refinery managers, contractor owners. All go to my church. I’m already set to be broke out soon as I can pass the test.
Practicing for my first test. Is it better to grind your root or run a wire brush? I haven't taken my first test yet, but on the root I wire wheel it, run my hot pass at 75-90 in 3rd gear depending on my mood, and I push till I feel it dig, than long arc to let it fill before I do my next step. I notice the guys who grind there roots tend to scrape drag and step/whip it without really digging. When I say dig, I mean I push down like you push down a pencil on paper till I fill the rod penetrate deep enough into the root bead that it almost pierces through the other side. Is this an accurate method? Self teaching here
Either way, I know guys that grind their beads and I know guys that’s don’t grind em. I’d say most generally most guys grind them on a test but I have known a guy or two that didn’t grind it on a test and still made the test. Everyone welds different and learned dif techniques from others or self thought like yourself.
I am NOT a professional welder, just a DIY’r with a bit of exposure and experience. I was always told if a rod or Mig wire flux core weld uphill to keep flux from over running and interring with the filler material, tie in and porosity. Yet I see you welding downhill on the pipe. I’m sure different rods, material thickness, prep, weld machine amp settings and welder skills running downhill flux electrode can be accomplished. But is it actually something that would be generally accepted if a QA person were witnessing your weld on a critical weld.
I'm really wanting to start welding school. The only thing stopping me me from starting is that I'm on suboxone right not, I'm going to be tapering off for the next 2-3 months. But I'm having bad sleep patterns and it's like hell waking up in the morning. I feel I'm not at my best. I'm stuck with the decision of starting next month while I'm still taking suboxone and not at my best but push through it. Or wait till I'm totally off of it which will be some time.
My girls tablet started blaring at the end when you were giving advise for the day I told her to turn it down and she said I was impatient I told her God was talking and she interrupted Him🤣
Most big industry, Oil& Gas Pipe use Auto Welders these days or seamless pipe ! Hand Welding Huge Schedule 40 Pipe would take forever ? Am I wrong ? BTW: You have some awesome welding skills there Bro !1
That what happens when your a good welder, U brake your vise, 😆GREAT VIDEO Thanks William Orange county, ca. I think it's time to Make your own vise !!
I do it all the time, but sometimes i just do 6011 all the way, just to get a feel for that rod. I use 6011 because my weld supply stores use the cheap 6010 rods that do not weld for shit, surprisingly the 6011 they sell burn better. I want to get 6010 5p from lincoln, but a bit expensive at the moment.
That looked an awful lot like a Harbor Freight pipe vise. And if you are telling me you got almost 9 years out of it doing pipeline and rig work you are well ahead. I bought the 6in Harbor Freight vise probably around the same time and am happily surprised it has survived and I haven't abused it anywhere near what yours has probably seen. Also for the HF vises, from what I have seen that mode of failure is the most common. You cant expect much more from a Chinese junk cast vise that only costs $80..
@@arosswelding okay thanks. Its looks alot like the ones I wear..an I can't find them anymore there a rougher an stiffer material an that's the ones I like because them soft ones get all crummy to me when soaking wet with sweat on them hot Louisiana days. Thanks alot enjoy your channel
Those are blocks that a spring place made for my rear end to make it level but they never worked so Welded them on for a step. I pull a trailer more often when I’m home so I like to leave my ball in there instead of the other hitch I made.

man that bench vice scene was funny
wasnt expecting it
Kyle Pitre check out my TH-cam channel
Now you can make a video welding that vice, it would be awsome learn how to weld cast iron or steel
it will break again. Even if you silicon "cool" it and V bevel the entire break, it will break again. Cast is extremely dirty and the mixture isn't consistent, so you have a lot of dirty spots or high iron deposits in it. Sure, you can weld it, but it's eventually going to break right at the toe of your weld.
@@michaelalmeida8790 not if you weld it with the right rods. Too many guys try to lohy it because cast rods are $11 per rod
Mig weld it or tig
I guess the fact that you were able to break your vice before your test strap shows how good of a welder you are.
They dont make tools like they used to . Love your passion . If we're not passionate then theres no integrity. Equals DCM . Love your work bro.
Oh my goodness, I don't laugh at much but when that vise broke I couldn't help it. I don't care who you are, that shit was funny!
My goodness, I haven't laughed so hard at a video in quite a while. Glad you were rolling when the vice gave up, what a riot.
Well dang!! I wasn’t expecting that vice to break! Glad you didn’t break the umbrella holder! Enjoyed the video and be safe.
Haha I know. I didn’t either lol 🤦♂️
Man, that's the prettiest, nicest, amazing weld I've ever seen. Shiny and in order. Great job !!!!

There must be something unusual about me. Everyone else seems to have laughed heartily at your breaking vise. I was probably more upset than you were.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one too brake a vice like that, I've actually broke two it was funny to see someone else do it
Really enjoy the actual welding videos .
I hope all is well and that you’ll get back on the ROW soon brother

Pipeline welder for 20 years. Now Inspector. Just remember slag can’t stand heat and a worm can’t live in a bottle of tequila!
That's right. Run so hot nothing will live in it.
Thanks man
I have years of welding experience but I didn't have a clue of how to test my stuff.
Love this channel thanks ross. Its my days off and ill probably watch every video you got.👊👊👊👊👊
Lmao the silence after that vice broke priceless
that bench vise breaking had me laughing so hard
Anthony Nadeau check out my TH-cam channel
@@Fonvilles I checked it out. It’s trash
@@TheClamy8911 😂😂 your face is trash
Quick question don’t mean to b a bother but do you think taking a OSHA 10 or 30 is Beneficial for a welder starting off?
Good job Austin, , thanks for sharing with us 👍👍
What volumetric NDT I carried out on your test welds ? Surely by carrying out bend coupons only the areas specified for bending are known to be defect free
When the vise broke, "you've got to be kidding me" .... Hilarious!!!
Eric Turner I’m trying not to say a bad word when something like that happens. My wife says I shouldn’t. So- after 34 years lm trying to listen to her. #$&@
I busted out laughing from a personal experience breaking the ol vice in the same spot.
That part where you broke that vice was priceless.
oxy-acetylene vs. plasma, why do you run/prefer one over the other?
How long did it take you to get your pipeline Cert? I'm looking to weld as a career when I'm out of highschool. I'm hoping to become a pipeline welder, and I'm trying to get an idea about the certs and how long it takes to get them.
Austin's next video, how to repair cast iron vice using Nickel 99 rods 😬😬 just kiddin austin, you know youtube subscribers love ya 👍👍
That vice breaking busted my gut laughing. Lol. Funny stuff.
Any advice to a welding student with a now reduced shop schedule and no home equipment. Not running beads m-f is killing me.

if possible id say renting a machine. hybrid of not buying but staying practiced. rent on a friday so you don't take it back until monday.

@@arosswelding Great piece of advice, I appreciate it thank you.
@@arosswelding thanks austin and durpfurper for being thurough in your question and telling how you do it
I got a question. Do welders have small heads or do i just have a huge head? Every time i look for a cap everything I find is to small.
Lol idk. I wear a 7 1-8”
What's up from Odessa Texas. Great videos man keep it up hill buddy
Dang, dawg! You are one tough mutha' and so are your welds! Your vise broke before your welds did! LOL!
I wanna see you fix that vice. Can you weld cast?
Never seen a test like that but that's cool. If you bought the vise 7 years ago you got your money's worth at least the weld held!

Hi Austin, Are you going to do a video on welding up a vice? It would be great to see that.
Bonjour brade,je sui ravie de vous avoir vu votre expérience professionnel de bon conseil et courage force 👍
Quick question Austin ross...where do you buy your caps?
If it were possible to film, is there anyway you could show the difference between a dirty puddle in a clean puddle?
14:02 sounds like Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused..alright alright alright!
That moment you realize, “ I just broke a vice with a weld “🤔😎
Please more welding videos! Keep up the great work... look forward to every Friday wish you had a video everyday lol
What kind of welding cap do you have on?
Great material show how to professionally weld such a vice as much as possible :)
Can we see how you weld that vice? I also broke one a while ago, and would be a video about that
Were did you learn how to weld?
School ? Family? Self taught?
Man this is all greek to me. Love both of yalls videos though. Keep them coming! God bless yall!
Have you tried hooking up an Ln25 to the welder on the back of your truck
Those good pliers. Thanks for the videos.
Do you know what happened to me when broken vice i feel like one of the bones in his hands broke I'm sorry that's a good vice.
I'm really wanting to start welding school. The only thing stopping me me from starting is that I'm on suboxone right not, I'm going to be tapering off for the next 2-3 months. But I'm having bad sleep patterns and it's like hell waking up in the morning. I feel I'm not at my best. I'm stuck with the decision of starting next month while I'm still taking suboxone and not at my best but push through it. Or wait till I'm totally off of it which will be some time.
A small car jack inside a H beam works better for bending & break test!!!!!!!! We always used a hacksaw to cut the grove for a break test!!!!!!
Now we need a video welding that vice!!!
That's what I thought as well right when it broke.
repairman worker just don’t say a bad word when it broke-
Got any ideas for a position pivotal pipe holder?

A piece of 3/32” soapstone that small in your holder is a low key flex change my mind 😂 lol
Damn Bro...It's a first time for everything!
Would a 6011 1/8 inch for the root an 7018 1/8 inch fill an cap on 8 inch pipe be a good practice?
I do it all the time, but sometimes i just do 6011 all the way, just to get a feel for that rod. I use 6011 because my weld supply stores use the cheap 6010 rods that do not weld for shit, surprisingly the 6011 they sell burn better.

Oh ya that’s good practice.
@@Ruben901 yeah everything is going up.
@@melvinmariott8609
Just wait till you see the pricing for 8010 rod....Dubya Tee Eff!
Laughed way to hard and loud at the vice breaking. Love your videos keep it up.
Great video! The vise incident made me laugh (sorry) ,time for a Wilton vise. Great info. Stay healthy thru these virus times
Lol ya that’s right. I’ve been needin to get a good one anyway.
Just bought my first welding tailer, i love it and im about to build 600 feet of pipe fence
A Clean tip is the key to cutting Clean.
Is that a hi low gauge in his pocket?
Really in joy your Videos
Com'on... You been in the oil field on the pipe side for a very long time Sir.
I laughed so hard witnessing that broken vise. That's hard steel it shouldn't break lol good vid.
Not hard steel. Cast Iron.
@@bradtucker8362 oh. Well hope Ross makes a video repairing Ald welding cast iron. 👍
Saw that vise coming to an end fast
What rod do you use

What cuttin nozzle is that please ?
S/B once in once out as told from an old flame cutter i worked under in my younger years
Austin how is this virus crap affecting you on the pipeline? Any advice for looking for fill in jobs?
This is a badass video man
I tested for an inspector who hated bends, he says that you can leave so much slag in there and still pass, but you cant hade from a knick
Practical demo please, prep & weld cast iron vise.
Next video.... vice comparisons... quality cost sizes and capabilities... 😅🤙🏼👊🏼
Thanks, that was awesome.
Where do you get your welding caps an what brand??
The one I’m wearing in this video is DABEC brand. But I also wear BADASS caps. You can find both online
@@arosswelding okay thanks. Its looks alot like the ones I wear..an I can't find them anymore there a rougher an stiffer material an that's the ones I like because them soft ones get all crummy to me when soaking wet with sweat on them hot Louisiana days. Thanks alot enjoy your channel

A laughin attack when vise bench break !!!! I didn't expect thát because I was tauting.
@13: lmfao you got to be kidding me
Lmaooo the vice 😂😂
Btw if your intentional dirty weld holds that well I would trust you any day!
Lookin sharp sir
Vises just aren't the same since they stopped making them in Miami.
XD
oh snap! :D
Great video, thank you.
Do a bend test vid!
the bead hand from the promise land!
New Vise time. YESSSSSS
Looking for my first pancake would u recommend the Wendy’s or sarges or what is your recommendation for a first pancake that won’t break the bank
Out of those two I would get the sarges. Cause it’s lighter in weight. But I personally like my empire south and cmr pancakes.
Austin Ross been looking at the CMR which one would u recommend from their line
I like the carbon fiber ones from outlaw leather. You can find them anywhere though.
Do you tow with that step hitch you burned in?
What hitch??
Austin Ross the one on your welding truck in this video, what did you weld on to the tow ball hitch?
Those are blocks that a spring place made for my rear end to make it level but they never worked so Welded them on for a step. I pull a trailer more often when I’m home so I like to leave my ball in there instead of the other hitch I made.
Austin Ross very nice, I’ve been thinking of making one and I like the way that one looks.
Where can I get a practice pipe like that with the bevel in it and everything?
Cut your own. You can hand bevel it.
