Hey I'm in school for welding at Milwaukee Job Corps Center and my whole trade watches your videos. They help us improve majorly and pass each weld examination. Thank you for you participation in helping us get better at what we like to do best. You're awesome and please keep up the good work!!!
Thanks for these videos. I just passed the 7018 3g and 4g 1 inch structural steel test last week. With these videos and the help from my instructor it ended up being a breeze. Now I'm hoping to learn how to run 232 flux core so I can test for that in the near future.
Just started welding school and the part about "I can make it..I can make it .) Is just so true 😂 You are the finest welding instructor and really a natural teacher man, thanks alot for your videos they'll definitely help me pass my tests.
@@come1atmebro Oh wow, haven't seen this got replies. Yes I am, found work instantly at one of the biggest sheet metal fabrication companies in the world and I've worked my way up to being a supervisor here now. Learning welding was the best choice I've ever made in my adult life.
I've been welding 50-plus years, and I still pick up goodies every time I watch one of your videos! THANK YOU !!! (I like to use an 8' 4awg stinger extention for vertical and overhead. It doesn't wear your arms out so quick!) Bill, from Tn. 🇺🇸
I can't begin to tell you how helpful your videos are. I've already done the flat test and passed my certification but I'm going back to another school to finish up the 3g/4g tests and start MIG/TIG as well. Keep them coming! :D
Also, having a clean/new lens helps a lot too. After doing overhead a while, the lens gets grimy/crusty, eventually making it hard to see. Made all the difference for me!
The names Wes. I have been watching you for 2 years have commented and learned from you and I owe you a debt of gratitude for my own success. I just graduated college at Loyalist College in Ontario Canada . 2 year Welding and Fabrication. I achieved my CWB All position SMAW and I have a Flat MIG Ticket as well. like you said it makes a big difference whether my kids will eat or not, and now I am raw goods looking to go and stick some stuff together. I knew next to nothing about Welding when I walked into college and my teachers are a mix of great backgrounds from a metallurgist and hot forge masters degree holder from india, to a woman theory teacher who has worked all over the earth in the military and aviation industries to mention a few, we have fabbers and mobile welders from the pipelines. I love everyone and the community on here that you attract is top class! Thanks Bro! ps: friggin tig finger rocks dude!! I have 2 small and 1 big and play with different setups. very worth it!!
Terrific video. I have major issues with overhead 7018. The main issue is that I'm blind in my left eye. The other problem is with stick angle and setup. I was always taught the straight stick as you showed at the beginning of this video. This setup made it very difficult for me to see the puddle and arc length because of the distance from my test piece. I will try this setup in the future. Thank you.
I am an engineer and have a home shop and several welders. Watching these videos is so great for even those of us who are not career welders. Really great content and dialog. Thanks Jody!!!
I watch a lot of TH-cam , this guy makes the best videos I have seen, does not waste time or d time. This ought be the model for home videos . So many times videos waste sooo much time. EXCELLENT.
when I did mine I took the arm off tacked it to the table and laid on the floor and easily did the 4g in the most comfortable position possible...all sparks were going away from my didn't get burned, I was in a simple carhartt longsleeve.....I learned welding is about comfort...you cant always be in the most comfortable position but if you learn to put yourself in the most comfortable position possible for that weld you will never lay a bad weld.
Jody, Great vid! Thank you. I was welding under my truck and things were going OK. As you know there are flashes of light, smoke etc. I ended the pass but noticed that there was still some flickering/smoke going on. I flipped back my helmet and discovered that the rag in my breast pocket was burning along nicely! A few pats and I put out the fire. Took the rag away too! LOL Eric
Thanks to your viseo on 6G pipe test i was able to get enough information to take my 6G test and land the job! I failed the test but i had full pen on the root and the supervisor was impressed with the fact that I'd never ran on pipe befoe and did so well with the root. Keep the videos coming!
Great job, as always. I wish I had these videos a few months ago when I was taking all of these tests. The video you did have out was massively useful in producing a passing plate. Thank you, sir!
Excellent videos! Question, I have almost always used a whip line with my Bernard twist lock electrode holder especially when doing critical welds that don't need to be balls to the walls in speed. You're able to bend the rod in any position needed and always have a tight grip on it. Just wandering your opinion on the twist lock holder and why I very seldom see you use one. One other thing is, overhead welding is one of my favorites especially welding heavy equipment when you can lay on your back and reach your work without hardly extending your arms. It's like getting paid to weld while laying in bed. Nothing better than being comfortable while welding no matter what position. Maybe a vid on making up a 10' light weight whip line that may be very beneficial to a lot of your viewers. Thanks, Ed K Cleve. Oh.
Sir im from Macedonia Balkan i see the stanfard of weld its same its not like in Italy or Albania you are the master who make to learn evrybody . Thanks for video im a welder 21year. Thanks!!!
I Am Going To Take A 4G Weld Test To Get My Certification For A 4G And All Positions. Also, Thanks For The Help. This Helped Me Get Into Tulsa Welding School And Pursue My Dream Of Becoming A CWI. Thanks 😄👌
I took a vertical and overhead test last week at a shipyard but I'm still waiting on the results, the guy told me they had a big backlog on tests and the anticipation is killing me. I'm pretty sure I crushed the vertical but I lost my body bracing on the overhead filler pass and ended up with a good sized slag pocket that I wasn't allowed to grind out. He told me they looked good enough for me to retest if they failed the bend. I haven't had a full time welding job let alone a cod job in 8 years so the praise I got on my finished pieces felt great. I feel like a boxer coming out of retirement to take back the belt.
could you do a overhead open root 6010 root 7018 fill and cap I'm really struggling with the root. your videos have really helped me thanks for the time and effort you put into them
I'm 66 yrs old now, farmed for around 20 yrs. did some welding now and then, mostly repairs. I've never had any real formal welding education except touching on it while in school for mechanical engineering just out of high school.
I have really enjoyed watching Jody's welding videos I have really learned a lot. He is an excellent teacher makes me wish I had taken up welding years ago.
Just a quick comment I put the lead over my shoulder with a down loop that way the lead weight is constant I get a better weld Using this technique JMHO Good arc ing
I am a small welder (in school, did light art welding before) with metal and have shattered both arms a few times. My teachers keep yelling at me not to drape it over my body because the flowing current. I check the lead for any exposed wire before I drape, but they keep telling me not to :/
Jody, can you tell me some different technique's that can help me hold my arm straight when welding overhead, I seem to have an issue with either moving my arms too much Or shaking and I really need to pass this overhead test in about two weeks… Help!
I am trying to get my D1.3 LA city cert, shielded metal arc welding. Light gauge to heavy gage.... 20 gauge !!! Galvanized... I still can’t get it, vertical up fillet t joint..... hope u can make a video... thanks
Thanku sir! On my 4g test right now and been having problems with it digging halfway through the pass🤬 going to try that angle when I go back Thursday 🙏🏽
What is the trick to keeping the puddle from falling back down while you're over head welding....I can't seem to get it right do I have to much amperage or my rod angle is wrong....I am using 1/8" 7018 rod
Hi Jody, I know you said hold a tight arc and find the right amps, but what would you recommended? If I would run 125-135amps for a flat position do you think its wise to run a touch colder or hotter? Do you have your own comparison on this how to? Asking because I get a lot of "dripping" of the puddle when I try doing what you've shown. Keep up the nice videos, there enjoyed. Thanks Pidge.
Hi I live in South Africa and we are being thought how to weld but instead of standing we have to lay down especially as we do our overhead welding so I would like to know what is the easiest way to do an overhead welding while laying down on the ground?
what are the downsides to just running stringers?? I have always been taught to just run stringers but you like to oscillate a lot so what are the advantages and disadvantages for both??
The disadvantage of stringer beads are there width you have to hang out a bit longer in your weld puddle to get a wider bead and sometimes that won't work when welding vertically or over your head.
I have a few questions, how much of a land are you using on your beveled plates and, I was taught to use 2 1/8 passes on each side, but angled like a fillet in a T joint for the root pass, but when I cut my backing plate off I have slag entrapment right where the center of the bead is do you have any advice on this
Hey, I'm currently in school at Arclabs in Piedmont South Carolina. I'm stuck badly on overhead stick v grooves. I'm running a 1/16 gap with feathered edges at 82 amps. any advice?
Hi Jody, I am torn to whether I should go with a HTP invertig 221 or a Lincoln Precision tig 275? I will be doing mostly aluminum and stainless welding. It would be much appreciated to hear your thoughts, thank you.
I’m welding a half inch plate to an I beam, I believe it’s 7014 or a 7018 rod, and weld keeps falling out my welding to hot ? Or should I move faster ?
This definitely helps a lot. Just need to pass a TIG class and do my cert tests in the Summer to get my Associates Degree for Welding Technology. Third time is a charm to pass TIG. My 3G is so much better. Pipe I need work on though if I practice to 6G I can qualify for 2G/5G/6G.

I notice every time I watch an overhead weld, it is using arc welding (SMAW). Never TIG or MIG. Is there any reason behind that? Code? Also, those readers look thick, and ...could that patch of hair up front be compensating for thinner areas on top?
Hello, I have a test weld and serve me some tips, this test is to make a butt joint in position 3g with a bevel of 60 ° and with a heel of 2.5 mm. the difficulty lies in making the root (first pass) with a basic electrode 2.5mm. I hope the explanation is understood, I'm from Uruguay and speak little English but always watch your videos. I hope you can give me some advice. Regards.
Is there any tips or advice you can give on practicing overhead. I'm in welding school right now and we have to run two beads that overlap using 6010 with a whip and pause. It seems I'm either moving to fast or long arcing and I just can't figure out how to really fix it without doing something else wrong
+weldingtipsandtricks Would you kindly do these cert test videos in which you start with a 6010 root pass. Our Instructor requires we do the 6010 root/7018 hot and cover but my root bend never quite makes the cut due to not nipping the edges of the bevel with the 6010. Any methods to this madness??? A video would be beyond greatly appreciated.
I am just RELEARNING how to weld and find a lot to be frustrating. Everyone I watch seems to run between 1:20 in 160 and using a 6013 or 7018 rod what I'm finding is they or no one is blowing holes in their metal. I'm currently welding quarter inch angle iron and flat stock together and I seem to be melting holes or the edges away from where it needs to be welded. How do I keep from dissolving my metal like a cube of sugar?
Hello, welders. I would like some advice. I weld metal buildings. I use a speedglas welding hood. Do I make slight movements back and forth? Or do I just move steadily and consistently? I have been welding for a year and I am self taught. I make good metal buildings and I can maintain a consistent bead with decent overlap and can close gaps effectively. But the rod movement always stuns me. Do I stay still? Just moving the rod forward? Or do I make slight nickels?
I notice a new rod every pass, the school I went to for my 6g frowned upon wasting rod and made us use them till they were gone, made it hard to re start the arc after stopping
thanks a lot this help me alot I used to work with wire welding and it's completely different my dad knows how to weld this kind stick weld but he doesn't have patience to teach me but the thing am seeing is that you don't remove the slag with a shizel my dad has a welding machine but it's a cheap one he say if you know what you doing it make the same work be nice is you would show the motions of every position vertical uphead down etc... thanks a lot my friend now I have a better understanding
I'll look through his videos, but does anyone know if they have no backing open root grooves vertical up or overhead. I got rusty while my school was out for covid-19, the class is literally waiting on me to finish 4g grove, and then open root 3G vert up.
That's a 3/8 structural test plate which is the thinner of the two tests I'm aware of. I'm preparing for my 1" vertical here soon. What type of welding are you doing? because for what this test certifies you for this wouldn't be considered thick.
I learn more from you than I do at school. Thank you!
Me also sir. A lot of ideas ive learned from him.
Same. My current teacher can't teach worth a damn
For real 😂😂💯
He's the reason I got so nice in welding
Fr the instructors be giving us a blueprint and saying figure it out and sit drink coffee to pass the time

Good video and good beads. For the electrode movement, is it important to do a little oscillation? Or is the oscillation not that crucial?
I just started watching your videos and really appreciate all the "TipsandTricks." Thank you Jody...For the best videos
Appreciate the detail in your videos. I also appreciate how you don't use any foul language .
"No good, no bueno.... "
HAHA love it, Jody!
I’m half way to getting certified in school, I have 3g done now onto 4g! Thanks for the tips 😎
helped me a lot watched it over and over the only problem that i learned was the fact that the metal overheats pretty quick. thanks sir
Best welding channel on TH-cam by far. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences.
what temperature do you recommend the plate should be at when starting a new bead? / How long should you let your plate cool?
I've gotta save these for when I take my DOT test next month!

I put the lead over my shoulder with a down loop that way the lead weight is constant I get a better weld
Using this technique
JMHO
Good arc ing
I am a small welder (in school, did light art welding before) with metal and have shattered both arms a few times.
My teachers keep yelling at me not to drape it over my body because the flowing current.
I check the lead for any exposed wire before I drape, but they keep telling me not to :/
Helps! Good stuff dude, tried it at work yesterday after receiving my LAST bald spot, helps tremendously, good stuff brotha!!🤘🤘🤘
Lune Vermeil your teachers are asses. My teachers always said “do whatever it takes to get it done” and that’s the reality out in the jobs.
I hope u know how many people you have helped and inspired through your awesome and intelligent videos
Thanks this technique turned out very handy. Lotta luv from India 🇮🇳
In the military and doing My C school this video been very helpful 👌🏼 🙂
The examples with the ball of fire in your glove and stepping on the lead cracked me up 🤣 so familiar

question. after you finished your weld in the overhead position, did you encounter any spatters around your weld bead?
The worst is a hot BB down the ear canal. Or a hot one in your boot. I was a welder for 40 years. Retired in 2005.

all I can say is thank you because of the tips I watched from you I now have my 3 and 4g certs and my 6g again thank you
What current do you normally use for overhead welding position
+weldingtipsandtricks Would you kindly do these cert test videos in which you start with a 6010 root pass. Our Instructor requires we do the 6010 root/7018 hot and cover but my root bend never quite makes the cut due to not nipping the edges of the bevel with the 6010. Any methods to this madness??? A video would be beyond greatly appreciated.
I am just RELEARNING how to weld and find a lot to be frustrating. Everyone I watch seems to run between 1:20 in 160 and using a 6013 or 7018 rod what I'm finding is they or no one is blowing holes in their metal. I'm currently welding quarter inch angle iron and flat stock together and I seem to be melting holes or the edges away from where it needs to be welded. How do I keep from dissolving my metal like a cube of sugar?
So the root pass can be that big ? Im just curious , im still learning
Hello, welders. I would like some advice. I weld metal buildings. I use a speedglas welding hood. Do I make slight movements back and forth? Or do I just move steadily and consistently? I have been welding for a year and I am self taught. I make good metal buildings and I can maintain a consistent bead with decent overlap and can close gaps effectively. But the rod movement always stuns me. Do I stay still? Just moving the rod forward? Or do I make slight nickels?
actually I am learning just . So your tips full videos are being the most important sir . Thank you . I am from Nepal
up and down hand movement at the root can be processed with 7018 electrode ??
Can you do a video on overhead with 6013 rod ? 6013 is really common over here and other types of electrodes are harder to obtain.
I notice a new rod every pass, the school I went to for my 6g frowned upon wasting rod and made us use them till they were gone, made it hard to re start the arc after stopping
the best welder in youtube...!! awesome
Could you do a 6010 root and a 7018 fill and cap? Thanks!
thanks a lot this help me alot I used to work with wire welding and it's completely different my dad knows how to weld this kind stick weld but he doesn't have patience to teach me but the thing am seeing is that you don't remove the slag with a shizel my dad has a welding machine but it's a cheap one he say if you know what you doing it make the same work be nice is you would show the motions of every position vertical uphead down etc... thanks a lot my friend now I have a better understanding
I'll look through his videos, but does anyone know if they have no backing open root grooves vertical up or overhead.
I got rusty while my school was out for covid-19, the class is literally waiting on me to finish 4g grove, and then open root 3G vert up.
what your arc force set at? For my verticals I set the heat at120 arc force at 4 to 5 depending on what I weld.
He makes it look so easy! My overhead T at the moment is solid bead but a bit droopy and too much on top
great job.... this two piece of iron are thick ... what about thinner pieces should I use same way or what !
That's a 3/8 structural test plate which is the thinner of the two tests I'm aware of. I'm preparing for my 1" vertical here soon. What type of welding are you doing? because for what this test certifies you for this wouldn't be considered thick.
Hey Jodie, just curious, what is the most certifications you have ever held at the same time?
I love your video and teachings sir. I'll like to continue my studies abroad so can you help me with directions
