The zigzag technique involves moving the electrode back and forth in a zigzag pattern. Both techniques can be used for vertical welding, but the choice depends on the welder's preference. As for puddle not dropping down, you have to develop the necessary skills and technique to maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed, which helps prevent the electrode from sticking or dropping down.
Support hand that you welding with, with your other hand, good thing to practice in the field, unless you got something solid to rest your hand on, but that’s less likely out in the field .
this is great the only question i have is how do i not cause the puddle to drip and get hard i have this happen all the time and i just want it to not cause those rocks on my weld
Thanks, always a pleasure watching your work and listening to your advice and tips. How does one get started working for themselves? Any tips? Would you recommend using a good quality multi purpose machine?
Hey Mike, thanks for your comment bud! To answer your questions; start your own business and apply for the jobs as a contractor by hand if you don’t have welding rig. That’s the first step to get your name out there, the rest is up to you and your skills. If they like what you do, they will call you back or recommend you to someone else. As with current economic situation, welding machines are big investments, Multiprocess machines are good for shop environment, but engine driven machines are way to go if you’re bouncing around with your truck. Stick and TIG setup, that’s all you need, you can do piping or construction work.
Hey bud, sorry for late response, just saw your text. Not sure if I had that option but definitely know what you talking about, to be honest I didn’t use that much, and thanks for the tip. 👍
Starts narrow ends up wider at the top. Tie ins are lumpy and you are welding over a fully blended root pass. I would like to see a cut and etch, I reckon there is a fair bit of undercut in that run.
Hey bud, thanks for your comment! I see you got a good eye to judge welds but you have missed two important things, and you are wrong about one! 1. Starts narrow because it was used a different weaving technique 2. There is no root pass as this is a Tee steel beam scrap metal ( but you noticed that, right?) And this is not an open root procedure, as the title description says Zig-Zag wave bead technique. 3. No undercuts from bottom to top ( you can zoom in if you like) So the tie-ins are not important on this scrap metal as the focus is here on the weave bead technique.
By the way good for you and trying to show people a skill which is extremely complex and at it top end complicated beyond most peoples comprehension, it takes decades and decade to learn the craft completely
for me going that slow side to side just did not work,for days i tried. and then i said fuck it and did what i gut was telling me so i went alot faster side to side and the result was a solid pass with nice penatration. dont know why dont care, i passed PF
After seeing this video I am now certified for AWS D 1.1. Thanks brother.
Happy to hear that brother, congrats 💪
Proud Of You Legend!!
Kontinyu,. Berapa Amper..
I’m in welding school and I was having a hard time with this until I seen this video thanks bro you saved my life
Thank you brother, happy to hear that 👊👍
awesome, thanks, Soundtrack is mint too
Coming from someone that’s certified in tig mig and stick structural and otherwise I love this video.
Great Video..Watching all the way from Africa..
Great music, great welding technique video 👍 really enjoyed watching
Thank you! Cheers!
From strike to the puddle, I understand this video, thank you.
More stick welding videos please
Very UNDERRATED video
Superb arcshots
Appreciate you for putting subtitles, and especially in a variety of languages! Explanation helps a lot! 🤩
You very welcome bud, thanks for your support 👍🍻
Underrated TH-cam channel. You're pretty good at welding, I hope you get more subscribers!
Thanks bud for your support 💪🍻
Exactly what I needed...
Awesome you got subtitles. Good video
Amazing video and very helpful! 👏🏻
Glad you think so!
What amps ?
Awesome video!
BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! Very helpful
You are very welcome 🙏 happy to hear that 👍
Good job my friend
👍🏽 Great video.
Thanks bud
Very nice ...very interested in your content one profession thank you for share.. greetings from Indonesia🇮🇩
Thank you my friend 👍

How come a triangular weave isn't required as it is for mig vertical up? I mean why doesn't the weld roll back down?

Are you doing a “U” shape pattern? Or just straight zig zag lines ?
Hey bud, I’m doing zig-zag.
Any tips on how to keep a steady hand?

Play with amperage and see what works for you, also your travel speed. I showed you how in video you just have to apply. Just play with settings.

does your machine have a hot start feature? i crank mine so i can get seamless tie ins!
good vid man
Hey bud, sorry for late response, just saw your text. Not sure if I had that option but definitely know what you talking about, to be honest I didn’t use that much, and thanks for the tip. 👍
what do you have it set to for your hot start? and what about arc force or dig?
That music sounded like Jim Staford, especially the guitar in the song Spiders and snake.
Can you do a b pressure test demo how you tack root and fill cap thad be great
Hey bud, thanks for your suggestion, and I’ll try to make that happen. Can’t promise when exactly but I hope soon.!
How much power need this vertical bro
Depends from the welding machine, but try around 88-91 amps with 3/32 rod.
How can we pay that Sodor is a professional welder I have more than 14 years of experience Spain and Italy and France God bless you and thank you
Gran Maestro
Great video!👍Can you make video doing the same thing , but with 1/8 rod?
Yes I can
No amps?
It’s a very first thing that appears in the video!
What angle are you using for weaving I'm in a welding school at moment and would like to implement your technique
Is that a zigzag?
Yes it is!
Hold on the sides don't be fooled by the middle
Zyg zag co to znaczy iść nawalony od prawej do lewej
If I understood that translation good, yes
Kolay gelsin 👏
Izin nanya om 🙏
Ngelas plat 5 Mili vertikal
Amper berapa
Pake kawat las RD 4 mili
hey mate try pulse stick. you would like it much better
With more amperage , that should be perfect . But , it's a good job ( from Belgium ) :)
Yes, you are right
Next video 4g root & cupping sir. Thanks
Soonest I got chance, sure, why not.👍
بسیار عالی گفتی
Очень красиво
Thanks man!

Correct
Okay
Seam just alittle cold,
