watched this video in the morning while eating breakfast and then went to trade school and did a 6010 open root on 3/8" plate with a 7018 fill (in position though, not vertical) and passed a bend test for the first time. came home and watched it again. thanks for making these Jody, they are super helpful even for people enrolled in a welding program.
@@michaelbiddl8638 I have certs for the open root 3/8 plate in vertical and horizontal positions (standard stuff for construction). I worked as a welder for about a year for a foundation company. it didn't pay great and I tore my rotator cuff around the same time covid happened. long story short, I never went back to welding and have a backyard nursery where I sell mainly cactus and succulents and also native plants. I just moved from FL to NJ and am working on securing a larger piece of ground to grow on lol. not what you were expecting probably, but life is funny. I still MIG somewhat as a hobbyist to make custom heavy duty shelves and other stuff I need. it is a great skill to have. best of luck out there, and DO NOT work without the protection of a union.
@@grumpy_ken Man appreciate the reply considering it’s been 5 years 😂 I’m going to come into this with open arms and soak up all the knowledge but most importantly take care of my body. Good to hear stories from guys that’s been in the field and have continued to elevate not just in the trade but also just in life. Preciate it man and best of luck to your Nursery 🙏🏼
I love how he always mentions getting that paycheck and feeding your family. This dude truly wants us to succeed. I've learned alot from him in my 3 years of watching him
Been welding over 2 years almost got my red seal only like 3 more months of school left now and this is the only welding TH-cam I watch. Anything I've needed a quick refresher or learning for the first time has been on here and saved alot of headache. Thanks for being the one good welding TH-cam channel
I think it says a lot about what sort of man Jody is when he's interested in helping a weldor get the skills needed to get a good job and feed their family.
Amigo, Jody sabe que no tiene competencia cerca jaja.... luego, no necesita esconder lo que sabe y además le gusta enseñar. ¿qué más le podemos pedir?.....😆
Im around 15 years into serious full time welding, worked from structural iron worker, shipyard and a little in nuclear field. Have been watching jody for around 6 or 7 years, has helped tremendously through watching and his knowledge. Always watch him as a refresher before taking a weld test, and gives me that much more confidence to not forget the little details. Thanks a lot man! Always recomend your videos to everyone. Last company i worked at supplied the tig finger which im pretty sure was your invention! Works excellent!!
Hey Jody! I was wondering if you know a man who goes by the name David Schnalzer? He is the welding instructor at Lehigh Carrier and Technical Institute in Shanksville Pennsylvania. He is also my welding instructor, i go to the votech and i have to say with him and you giving me the ups and downs of welding will sure as hell benefit me in the long run.
As a sophomore in high school, I probably did this drill almost 50 times before my school could pass it. It definitely made pipe welding a lot faster to learn later on.
Jody, Your welding videos are a staple in my weld classes. I am a weld instructor/Millwright for GM Skilled and non skilled trades department. I find that using your videos gives me a better opportunity to teach rather then having them crowd around a booth trying to see what is vertually impossible to see when I am in the way! I am a member of the Local 2209 UAW and the 798 Ironworkers union! Thank you so much for all you do to promote good welding technical proceedure and just great information about welding knobs and buttons and gadgets in general... I Love watching what your going to do next! Keep up the good work and God Bless! Sincerely, The Rat!
Nathan Radtke Hello Sr. Rat! I am a decrepit, old ironworker (local 63), who teaches all types of welding at a community college. I teach steel, alloy and pipe. Like you, I use a lot of video from Jody. Are you on the forum? If not, you have to register there. I have learned a ton from reading responses on that forum. Carry on!
I will register....i too am an old young man....i think that is part of my trade....Millwright going on my 31st year now....but i teach welding also for the company i work for....it helps break up the strain of iron work and fixing rotary machinery! I LOVE what i pick up in the videos....i am sure the forum will bring me to a whole new level! Thanks for the tip brotha....UAW Local 2209 here also a member 879 Ironworkers out of Rockford IL.
Nathan Radtke Hi Nate! I did a lot of work out of Rockford years ago. Chrysler plant, some schools, Byron Station and a mill called 'Gunnite'. The forum will help! Keep up the good work!
I have a huge test for the union on the 27th of October. Your tricks on the 6G have helped me alot. If I pass my test, it's because I've learned so much more from your videos. Thank you for all your help. P.S. my test will be on tig purge in the 6G position sch 80 2 inch carbon steel pipe.
Thank you for all this. I welded in the past, but I am a bit rusty. Watching you is helping to bring it all back. Please continue with these videos. They are very appreciated.
Jody is such a blessing to all new welders!! I had to practice really hard and burn a lot of rod and use a lot of material before I found his videos; they were like icing on The cake! Thanks Jody
Thanks Jody, I am a current Tulsa Welding School student, and have been going through the phases and whatever I can't get from my instructors demos I can usually find on your channel. I am learning can't wait to get my first welding job.
I found a welding tips and tricks T-shirt at goodwill the other day... wearing it right now as i watch this video to prepare me for my AWS test in school. thanks for the videos Jodi!
As always...what an incredibly informative video! Terrific footage! Very thankful for your hard work putting these educational TH-cam's on the web. Much appreciated Jody!
Thanks Jody, I have been a fan and supporter for several years now. (looks like you have a new hairstyle!!) You are absolutely right about the schedule 80 2" pipe, it separates the welders from the wannabees. It is currently kicking me all around the test stand. I have real problems with keyhole. I am in a new welding class, and, we actually get to use grinders. My old instructer said grinders were out of the question; and, wouldnt let us even use a second 6010 for the root on the 3/8" we had to do the whole 8" in one shot perfectly. I am still working on the plate cert, but had to move into pipe to keep up with the rest of the class. Your information, and Tig Finger are invaluable, Keep it up! Thank you.
I have just finished doing my 1,2 and 3g open root butt joint 3/8" plate at school and found that i needed to run 80-90 on 2 & 3g and 95 on 4g for my root pass (seem to work pretty good) but every machine is slightly different. Thanks for the video Jody still very informative. Start practicing my CWB's today
pretty cool, at my tech school we're having to do a hot pass after the root, then fillers then caps. kinda interesting seeing it done this way. good video!
What a brilliant demonstration. I liked how the correct amperage at 4:00 showed how the keyhole is drawn closed, almost like surface tension of a fluid as you slide the electrode forward every second.
your opening statment is so a true!!passing these various weld test is the difference between feeding the family and not!!thankyou for all this great content you put out..
In my experience, as a certified welder, just about anyone can make a weld "in position". A good welder can weld in any position, and should be able to move while your making the weld (if necessary). My first weld test was positioning my coupon in the center of a jig. (Three rows of tubes/three wide.) The center one was constructed so the 2" tube coupon would fit. The bottom of the jig was positioned 18" off the concrete. Once your coupon was properly positioned the welder was required to weld the heliarc (TIG) root, then fill and cap with 7018. This required crawling all over the jig. Welding overhead, up the sides then the top. First the quality of the weld was visually judged. Then 4 test strips were cut. Two given side bend tests, one root bend, one cap bend. A flaw in any was a bust. As for the 6010 root, with 7018 filler/cap, that was the standard for a lot of refinery work I did. Their test was easier open butt with the aforementioned 6010 & 7018. Welding in a boiler "mud drum", due to the tight confines, and location of where the weld needed to be made, I ended up bent over and Welding between my legs. It was the only way to see the weld.
Thank you so much for your videos. I've attempted to watch multiple welding content creators and find that you are the most concise and articulate and I really have learned allot from your content. I take my pipe test in two weeks. I'm confident that I will pass, I've been putting in solid roots. The hotpassp and cap have been easy for me.
That's the most beautiful 7018 fill cap I've ever seen. It could almost pass for Tig. I just picked up a Miller Trailblazer 325 EFI. Don't have but a few hours of Stick welding under me. I've been doing mig for a few years around the farm. My goal is to run a fill bead like that. Holly crap!!!!
im currently training in SMAW/ stick welding and find this video of great help specially now that im having trouble making my root pass a little more precise.. thanks for sharing your video with us.. more power
I remember back in high school I had a welding teacher that's a CWI took a 3G test on plate destructive test face and root bend. Passed pretty well. I love open root welding. Only open root pipe I've done is with oxyacetylene 3 inch schedule 40 with a 1/8 wall thickness, just took that a few weeks ago, im going to school for welding. But anyway keep up the videos Jody they've helped me with a lot of things with welding.
I just recently started using 7018. It's hard to get it started but when I finally do half of it is gone. The 7014 is better doesn't stick as much and I don't have a hard striking it. Still working on getting better with the 7018. Your a big help thank you for your videos.
Jody, I'm one of your subscribers. I even purchased 3 of your tig fingers. Your videos are the guiding lights of my welding. Two thumbs up! From South Korea.
Good job showing the open root pass with the 6010 and capping it with the 7018! I felt like I was behind the electrode back in welding school again getting my coupons welded up for the bend test...lol
Thanks again for the tips. Been practising to recertify my pressure ticket (ASME Sect 8). Its been 12 years so its taken some practice, but I nearly have it dialled in . Still some lack of complete fusion/penetration on my overhead tie-in but should be ready to test in the new year.
This answered a few questions I have had about keyholes. The short welding course I took years ago had us mostly working with T-joints so the question of keyholes never came up.(keyholes at a glance seem like creating extra work for no reason or a type of blow through) If I absorbed the video correct, the trick to maintaining control is just barely forming the keyhole, and the purpose is full penetration when welding from only one side of the joint.
Been having trouble doing my 3G uphill at school, watched this video and had great penetration on the root. Going to be they way I weld 3G uphill from here on out.
Jody, one of the common trends in the industry is now 7018 all the way out. In fact a local rail car repair place cannot even use 6010 due to insurance reasons (stupid I know) as they say the rod chemistries don't match and the 6010 is weaker. So they now have a 7018 root. I"ve heard of this in other industries as well. You might want to investigate that and cover that on a future "episode". I'd personally like to see it and see how wide spread it has become.
+randysengine service It can be done, and is becoming more common as a result of insurance issues in structural applications. The theory is that 6010 is a weaker rod than 7018 and is a weak link where failures have occured. Running 7018 all the way out will keep metals similar. I've done some, and it isn't all that hard. You just have to learn how to adjust the settings and it will lay in as nice as anything. If you think 7018 is hard, a lot of Europe and Asia lay the root with 6013!
That's interesting news because I'm watching this video before practicing a 6011 open-root pass with a 7018 cap on a butt weld. I very much prefer SMAWing with 7018 and would love to use it all the time. I've heard 6010/6011 is somewhat brittle (doesn't stand shock-loading well).
Weldingtipsandtricks this is what I need to work on but next week I start school I'm in college for this I'll be sure to come back to this video and see how I do
You failed a welding test ? And you are a welder ? You have to be the first welder I have ever heard admit they busted a test. If you have never busted an xray or a test you haven't been welding much ! Shit happens !
Never seen a welder yet that doesn't make a balls up of something. Mine was the hot pass blowing holes a 4.oclock. Ha ha ha.. I a. 'm 71 now so retired. Keep the masks down and the SMOKE ARAISING
so the flicking method works for me. I have to run dc+ at 100 amps, under the teacher instructions. now I just have to slow down a bit to gain total fusion. thanks for the help
super explanation(s), demonstrated very professionally. i believe the correct rods and amperage settings amount for about 75% success w/overhead and verticle; the 'under the hood' time beads ya got there...like you said, pass the test, feed the family experience. the' jody' shirts are just awesome, set aside 2 large, ill catch up the tab w/ ya soon as pay pal kicks a few pesos my way.
Cool tips sir I hope I pass my test next month I have to do the 6010 with 7018 root pass and the 4g vertical up coupon am so juiced my hands are anxious to weld.
And i use the drag motion rather than a whip. I was told the more you whip it creates small voids between the ripples on the back and a bend test would destroy it. I use the drag and watch the keyhole and keep a crescent moon of open space between the electrode and puddle and the ripples will be tighter and the bead will be uniform in width
Looks good from what I saw, how does the back look? At our welding class for open root 6010 we run 83 amps on 3/8" plate, 37.5 degree bevel, 3/32 gap, with a land the width of a nickel (I prefer mine a little heaver than that though) with fleet weld 5p+ 1/8 6010 rod.
an excellent video this is. it helped me a lot to do better at 3G open root. thank you! here i got some questions. do you look down the key hole from above? I have difficulty to see the keyhole when I set the plate at the level of my chest like you do. and also I have a tendency to leave a depression right past the tack i start to weld on. Is it because i dont jam the rod deeply enough or travel slowly enough?
Thanks for all these videos I know you have made me a better welder with all your tips so thank you. Can you please do some downhill welds open root 6010 and some 7018 please I’m a union boilermaker and work mostly at the steel mills here in Indiana please and thank you
I gotta ask a complete noob question, because I AM a noob. Why do you join the pieces with one kind of rod, and then switch to a different rod to finish?
hey jody great vid, i\m currently in school for my second period apprenticeship. The class is SMAW heavy (our test welds at the end are SMAW 1G, 2G, 3F and 4F and GTAW 2F aluminum, 3F stainless.) i've never seen a root pass done with what seem like large steps like in the vid. obviously it works if you're showing us the technique. i usually run 1/8 land and 3/32 gap using 1/8 6010 at 100amp and arc force around 55-60. and basically keep the end of the rod right in the gap and using a kinda push and step technique. i push the rod into the gap until i feel the edges melt thru then move about an 1/8th and repeat. i basically never get a keyhole that opens up that i have to step back into. but i get full penetration and my roots hold when bent. just wondering if there's an advantage to the way you showed it vs the way i do it? also any 3F 6010/7018 tips would be good too:) Thanks, your vids have helped me tons when it comes to learning new stuff.
can you do a video on 3g 6010 root pass and 6010 hot pass , 3 / 32 7018 cover pass and 3 / 32 7018 with 3 cap stringer beads... that's how I'm doing it at the school I'm at thanks and great video @weldingtipsandtricks
Have you done the 6g 2 inch video for sched 80 pipe 6010 root? I am doing B.C. pipe ticket tomorrow P7 which is two pipes. 6 inch 6g and 2 inch 6g. Good videos though, helped me out thanks.

***** it's slag not flux peeling off the weld, btw.. Why the weave on the cover pass rather than stringer beads?
***** flux is what it is called while on the rod slag is what it is called when covering the weld bead

If I absorbed the video correct, the trick to maintaining control is just barely forming the keyhole, and the purpose is full penetration when welding from only one side of the joint.
Been having trouble doing my 3G uphill at school, watched this video and had great penetration on the root. Going to be they way I weld 3G uphill from here on out.
Did the school start out with that damned backing strip?
Jody, one of the common trends in the industry is now 7018 all the way out. In fact a local rail car repair place cannot even use 6010 due to insurance reasons (stupid I know) as they say the rod chemistries don't match and the 6010 is weaker. So they now have a 7018 root. I"ve heard of this in other industries as well. You might want to investigate that and cover that on a future "episode". I'd personally like to see it and see how wide spread it has become.
+Everlast Power Equipment How can you do a open butt root pass with 7018, I was taught to use a cellulose rod for all open butt root passes?
+randysengine service It can be done, and is becoming more common as a result of insurance issues in structural applications. The theory is that 6010 is a weaker rod than 7018 and is a weak link where failures have occured. Running 7018 all the way out will keep metals similar. I've done some, and it isn't all that hard. You just have to learn how to adjust the settings and it will lay in as nice as anything. If you think 7018 is hard, a lot of Europe and Asia lay the root with 6013!
+Everlast Power Equipment ..Times was....the root could be 7010 electrode....
That's interesting news because I'm watching this video before practicing a 6011 open-root pass with a 7018 cap on a butt weld. I very much prefer SMAWing with 7018 and would love to use it all the time. I've heard 6010/6011 is somewhat brittle (doesn't stand shock-loading well).
Fantastic easy to follow tips. Great that you show the machine settings too.
Excellent demonstration. I was confused what the idea of what a keyhole was. but you have cleared up my confusion. Thank you.
Weldingtipsandtricks this is what I need to work on but next week I start school I'm in college for this I'll be sure to come back to this video and see how I do
You’re the man refinery workers love you
thanks for the tip! turns out the reason ive been having such trouble is i was running too hot. thanks for the info!!
At school on lunch and about to dive into this thanks a million
Can you please make a video on Overhead open root pass please? Thanks
i really don't know what to say exactly to thank u for all the work n knowledge ur putting in ur videos .. Big tkx really !!!
Having a hell of a time with my 6010 root, however I will use the tips you gave me and let you know what happens
So... what happened?
@@grahamshelton3448 I passed, got my 3 certs mig tig and Schedule 40 pipe
@@williamfahey4712 thats awesome. The sky is the limit, my friend
You failed a welding test ? And you are a welder ? You have to be the first welder I have ever heard admit they busted a test. If you have never busted an xray or a test you haven't been welding much ! Shit happens !
Newfoundlander86 hahahaha
Shit, at least he isn't afraid to admit when he's wrong. dude has alot of character
Never seen a welder yet that doesn't make a balls up of something. Mine was the hot pass blowing holes a 4.oclock. Ha ha ha.. I a. 'm 71 now so retired. Keep the masks down and the SMOKE ARAISING
@@doug132639 we all gotta repent n trust in Jesus to be saved ❤
@@doug132639 saved from hell
I have really liked it and am gona put more effort to learn to become a welder
Thanks for making this video. Will use this technique when ever I have a test.
Very informative for our future welders, beautiful welds as well !
Thx for the tips , im currently in welding school of Oklahoma and the root pass is kicking my butt lol
Great video thanks, the best channel welding a hug here from Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
excellent video, as always. Thanks for all the handy tips, good to re-view these prior to check tests!
Thanks sir! Gretings from mexico !!.
i like a lot your videos even wen i cant understand all that you say , it had help me a lot
your videos have helped my stick welding so much. Thank you
Tonto Kemosabe
so the flicking method works for me. I have to run dc+ at 100 amps, under the teacher instructions. now I just have to slow down a bit to gain total fusion. thanks for the help
Jesus he has so much knowledge for welding beautiful good job jody!!!
Best viedo to learn! looks clear and proper setting. it really helps to know how to handle
Hey Jody, could you do a series on Aerospace specific cert tests? Or some tig welding on exotic metals? Just an idea, thanks for all the great vids!
We use the 3/32 rods for our gap at school too. I’ve only been doing it for a couple days but that open root is hard
This man is a hero.
In my case I make 1/8" the landing and 3/32" space. Then not necessary to worry about large key hole. Thanks for your great video !!!
I think your tutorials are great jodie from the uk
super explanation(s), demonstrated very professionally. i believe the correct rods and amperage settings amount for about 75% success w/overhead and verticle; the 'under the hood' time beads ya got there...like you said, pass the test, feed the family experience. the' jody' shirts are just awesome, set aside 2 large, ill catch up the tab w/ ya soon as pay pal kicks a few pesos my way.
Brilliant guy may God bless you for sharing your experiences
Thanks for video Jodie iv been having a hell of a time with my root pass just can't seem to get it. Thanks again
Cool tips sir I hope I pass my test next month I have to do the 6010 with 7018 root pass and the 4g vertical up coupon am so juiced my hands are anxious to weld.
Angel Verdin 4G is overhead
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
And i use the drag motion rather than a whip. I was told the more you whip it creates small voids between the ripples on the back and a bend test would destroy it. I use the drag and watch the keyhole and keep a crescent moon of open space between the electrode and puddle and the ripples will be tighter and the bead will be uniform in width
I like the 5/32 6010 around 155 amps, ive never ran it uphill like you do, I just stick it in there and drag it down instead of stepping it uphill
Good video can't wait to see the pipe with stick rod
Looks good from what I saw, how does the back look?
At our welding class for open root 6010 we run 83 amps on 3/8" plate, 37.5 degree bevel, 3/32 gap, with a land the width of a nickel (I prefer mine a little heaver than that though) with fleet weld 5p+ 1/8 6010 rod.
In your next video can you talk about how much you would clean your pipe prior to an SMAW test?
an excellent video this is. it helped me a lot to do better at 3G open root. thank you! here i got some questions. do you look down the key hole from above? I have difficulty to see the keyhole when I set the plate at the level of my chest like you do. and also I have a tendency to leave a depression right past the tack i start to weld on. Is it because i dont jam the rod deeply enough or travel slowly enough?
Thanks for all these videos I know you have made me a better welder with all your tips so thank you. Can you please do some downhill welds open root 6010 and some 7018 please I’m a union boilermaker and work mostly at the steel mills here in Indiana please and thank you
I gotta ask a complete noob question, because I AM a noob. Why do you join the pieces with one kind of rod, and then switch to a different rod to finish?
hey jody great vid, i\m currently in school for my second period apprenticeship. The class is SMAW heavy (our test welds at the end are SMAW 1G, 2G, 3F and 4F and GTAW 2F aluminum, 3F stainless.) i've never seen a root pass done with what seem like large steps like in the vid. obviously it works if you're showing us the technique. i usually run 1/8 land and 3/32 gap using 1/8 6010 at 100amp and arc force around 55-60. and basically keep the end of the rod right in the gap and using a kinda push and step technique. i push the rod into the gap until i feel the edges melt thru then move about an 1/8th and repeat. i basically never get a keyhole that opens up that i have to step back into. but i get full penetration and my roots hold when bent. just wondering if there's an advantage to the way you showed it vs the way i do it?
also any 3F 6010/7018 tips would be good too:)
Thanks, your vids have helped me tons when it comes to learning new stuff.
Great video, your a good instructor. P.s. nice slang scab at end, one piece no chipping ✌
awesome weld just hope I can replicate tomorrow on my cert test
Wow thanks a lot sir your vids helps ...👍👍👍👍👍
Great job I've been trying to get some tips on this I'm in welding school.
Thanks a lot its been super helpfull to me … from Puerto Rico thanks a lot
This is the guy I go to after school
can you do a video on 3g 6010 root pass and 6010 hot pass , 3 / 32 7018 cover pass and 3 / 32 7018 with 3 cap stringer beads... that's how I'm doing it at the school I'm at thanks and great video @weldingtipsandtricks
Rod angle is critical. Helps with keyholes that turn into portholes.
Have you done the 6g 2 inch video for sched 80 pipe 6010 root? I am doing B.C. pipe ticket tomorrow P7 which is two pipes. 6 inch 6g and 2 inch 6g. Good videos though, helped me out thanks.
thanks for these videos and I learned a lot from them, you are welding in ac or dc?
btw most of your videos are super helpful
