A very good TIG welding technique for pipe and a few other round shapes is walking the cup. But its good to be also be able to freehand.
Sometimes there are obstacles that prevent walking the cup. For those occasions being able to prop with a tig finger can help.
Other times, a part has smooth machined surfaces and job specs will not allow the scratches from the ceramic cup.
Walking the cup is primarily a technique used for pipe welding but I have found a few other uses for it like a run of 50 round parts I welded in my shop a while back. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Best thing I ever purchased was your TIG finger , Thanks for the TIG fingers and Video Jody.
If I had a Tig I would buy a Tig finger I wish I would have bought a Tig and not a Mig
marble head I still use mine for MIG too. Especially on thin sheet metal. Where I'm really scooting along.
My lovely girlfriend just bought me two regular and one XL TIG fingers for my birthday, I can't wait to put them to use! 👍🏻
just picked one up hella excited to use it.
I am a union pipe welder. Weld all day , every day.....the tig finger is worth it's weight in gold. especially when the guys are doing hot welds on small bore.... They always want to use it. We put em' down on the tool list. let's see if they come in.
“It did come out ok”, shows perfect looking weld
As soon as he said that I went straight to the comments
i think he meant ok as in it worked well
Cuz this dude’s probably the best tig welder around.
The reason he says that is because tig welding breaks you're ego.
You have to realize you suck.
Even a pretty good beginner looks awesome to a stick welder.
But the better you get the more you can pick out that's flawed. Because it's such a perfect (theoretically) process
Idk about that one I seen some crazy Tig welders@@dazdavis7896
55 Gallon drum analogy is actually really intuitive! I instantly got it when you said that
Now I'm no professional welder but, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you have welded before. Great video and instruction. 👍🏾
I really appreciate the camera quality of your videos. The biggest part of learning for me is visual, to be able to see the subtle changes and details in the welds as they lay in helps me understand why I need to do certain things.
I have about 33 years of welding exp, alot of that was TIG. I can walk the cup as you are showing, but you are a lot better than I am man....very good videos too. Thats righteous that you share the knowledge....way to go.
Good Video....I'm a retired welder and find your vids very good. You certainly throw down some beautiful welds...TIG finger is a good design... any welder that doesn't have TIG fingers really is missing the boat ...
I've had the same Tig finger for 4 yrs and no complaints. This man has given me alot of game.
I haven't picked up a tig torch in 17 years I've been under the hood stick welding the whole time.. I got to tell you your videos are extremely helpful and very much appreciated! I picked up the tig finger and I am very happy with it. Thanks for the videos...couple more weeks I should be back on my game looking almost like those great welds of yours 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 thanks again!
Thank you for always setting a good example for welders and instructors alike.
The day after tomorrow I have job interview.... and the company expects hiking the cup, running the cup.... I am scared! Watching your videos I feel confident, man! You are the best! THANK YOU!!!
Not only did I learn a new technique I also walked my fingers over to your site which is very nice by the way very impressed so much so I just spent 400 on some wicked products which are hard to come by... simply wicked I love it
Dude.. that was like the simplest most efficient way to explain walking the cup.. i have had a hard time with learning tig and this was very informative.. thanks for walking to taco bell to show us how its done
Beautiful bead man... I just started welding a couple years ago. Started off welding Here n There, but over time, and plenty of practice, I am now my company’s welder and I love welding. Really enjoy your videos. Very informative. You are good at explaining things. Thanks!!
This has been the best and most informative channel on TH-cam. Thanks Jody!
Excellent demo of walking the cup. Very easy to understand. Thanks
Ok, I can't count how many hundreds of videos about welding and you just showed and explained in real time more than any video I've seen to date!
Most are like time-lapse on the torche so I could never judge how fast they were moving and adding filler until now! Thank you so much for a superior instructional video and videos! I have a stick and a mig but was wanting to get into tig and yours was the topper offer number 1! Thanks for all your hard work! Now I just gotta figure out which tig I should get on a small budget but not so budget its junk
Keep up the great work!
Thanks again!
I'll second that. Brilliant product. Appreciate the mm conversion too. Great job.
Those arc shots are still getting better. If only I could see as good when I weld as I do when I watch you weld. The welding equipment manufacturers need you for some consultation for their videos. I have not seen a welding video from anyone else that is even in the same league as yours. Since I only TIG occasionally, it's always a great refresher to watch your videos and see how it's supposed to be done. Thank you.
I have a couple of TIG fingers that I use for all of my welding and I put my buddy onto them too.
Every second of this video is candy! Thank you!
wow, what an excellent explanation that simplifies the walking the cup technique, rolling a 50 gallon drum, awesome skills fella, i am soo jealous of your skills.
ooohhh.... finally i got to see what really happens around the arc while tig welding. Nice shots, thank you very much.
Nice to see you do not pulse the wire, which i always do. Now i try to learn to walk the cup, thank you
The tig finger is literally the best invention out there for tig welding I even use it for flat welds and just slide my finger on the table just because it slides so smooth instead of getting hung up if you were to drag your glove. Smooth = consistency.👊🏻 thanks Jody for your awesome invention 🙏🍻
It's a treat to watch a pro like itself tig welding. Thanks for all that you do jody
3:05 this was exactly what I've been looking for! thank you sir
Awesome video! Again thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with every one Jody. I buy your tig fingers alot...i think they are the best thing since sliced bread lol. I know my old tig welding instuctor orders them in bulk lol. I know at work every day i got to make the choice of weaving freehand ,dabbing or walking the cup... Your videos helped me when i was in welding school and still help me now. Your tig finger just helped me pass a 3G open root tig test! Thank you so much for your videos and products. You are helping welders out all over the world !
This is like watching dancing, to a particular rhythm. Very elegant when one treats metals in this manner , that is with great respect. I always thought that the duty of education is to take away and remove all the clumsiness mental and physical clumsiness with which we are born. Not many people eradicate their physical clumsiness, but a good welder certainly does and suing my experience I can say, sometimes even better than a surgeon! May sound surprising to some, but it is true and I shall not go into details. Congratulations for this video.
Jody thank you for all your hard work and dedication you’ve put into the craft. If it wasn’t for you, I would of given up on welding. Thank You Jody!!!!!!
I have learned so much watching your videos and i will even go as far as saying more than i learned in school thanks for the vids and keep them comming
Thank You!!! Your my hero haha, if been struggling for days on my welding assignment. I'm going to use this trick and see how things turn out.
Looks good for a kid
Glad to come a cross this I just bought your tig finger off Amazon thanks
I'm 78 and going in Monday to take 4 different tig tests on pipe stainless and carbon been pipe welding 55 yrs
just bought a set of tig fingers. theyre working great for me so far!
Walking a drum is such a great explanation for someone who's barely ever welded anything.
Great video with really good photography. I used to work with Boilermakers and Pipefitters. Fitters walk the cup -Boilermakers don't. Those fitters made the prettiest welds you can imagine.
Great instructional video! Thank you for taking your time to share your knowledge!
Awesome job Jody, as usual!!
Just order the TIG Finger!!! Super excited to try it out, I'm sure it'll help me pass my welding test!!!!
You've really sold me on the tig finger, I will definitely buy one!
So beautiful close up , Thanks Joey !!!
Thank you Jody for your videos, they have helped me become a better welder. 👍
I really enjoyed watching the last welded with the pre heated pieces and the you comment on how it could have been better, to me if I could weld that good I would be the happiest guy in the world!
You make it look so easy. I'm in my last year off night school and this year we are learning to weld pipe. I'm struggling with walking the cup but with your tips I'll get there.
The tig finger has saved me like 10 fingers. so thanks alot!
Fingers are good to have! Regards from an Stockholm welder!
Northern Sweden Welding am from South Africa and am a welder but am short with a tig finger I have on idea how to get one
This video was super helpful, thanks!
Felicitări ! Lecții adevărate la sudarea prin procedeul tig / wig .
where i once worked walking the cup was only permitted on schedule pipe work.all machined surfaces regardless of quality had to be done free hand, and after watching some of your vids i think i have been running my welder to cold and going to slow.tommorow im going to crank it up and speed up.good vids jody i learn from you ...thanks .10 points keep up the good work
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing Jody. I can't wait to start fabricating my own exhaust system!
Incredible looking work. Looks like a piece of art!
i weld for 21 years was a very good job and nicely explain thank you
The 55gallon drum analogy is spot on!! I wish I had been told that when I was learning
Solid video. Fast, to the point and good camera work.
Ive learnt a lot from you. Thanks Jody! Greetings from Sardinia
I have regulars and xl here in Finland, thank you for good videos and products!
Excellent camera work and editing. Very in formative, and the great production values really set this apart from the average TH-cam instructional videos. Well done!
Nice work! Great video, the close up shots are perfect.
You make me jealous every video, you are a master. I try to hold my breath when doing any welding to keep it looking nicer. Haven't heard you mention this that I can remember.
Jordy I like the way you walk the cup.am a boilermaker in Zimbabwe and I need to Tig weld like you.keep it up
Wow! Thank you for making this video!!! Super awesome technique!
Subscribed!!!
Great video, great amount of good information!
great technique; I use in my advance tig class 2451 in Houston
Beautiful welds- A true work of art...
That weld at the flange is so beautiful
Very nice video. Beautiful shots. Beautiful welds. Years ago I welded what felt like miles of tube for the dairy industry. Walking the cup was a skill the pro's pro always had in their pocket. Like anything else worth doing it takes tons of practice. I learned by running a strip of masking tape around the tube. The cup leaves a mark on the tape so you can see how even.... or wonky your path is.
doctor tig welding :) full respect for video .
You make that look so easy, your good at welding.
you Sir are an artist!
You are inspiration for all of us!
Amazing camera work!!!
I’ve found your videos to be very informative and helpful when setting up and using my welding equipment. I’ve been practicing your welding techniques on scrap metal to become more proficient at welding so I can build Street Rod frames, engine and transmission mounts. Thank you Jody!
Another great video and explanation of technique.
Just a small " Thank You " beautiful teaching style" Loved It'
Much respect to the fellas that do this, the place I work at see them all the time fabricate stainless steel tubing into pipe joints for evaporater system at tomato processing plant anywhere from several feet in diameter to few inches amazing when seeing how perfect the beads of weld are to know it was done by hand not machine it's an art form
Man that is some beautiful work
Smooth welding as always Jody. Great video
Thanks! Great tips. Very well done videos!
You've really perfected getting a damn good shot of the arc on camera, I've never used TIG but I don't even see the arc this clearly with my own eyes (through a mask) with my SMAW or MIG welders.
Awesome video! That is some pretty welds!
That is just absolutely beautiful welding
Jody, your videos are great. Thank you for sharing your welding knowledge and all the hours you have spent under the hood. It shows. I will use this technique as I am a ship builder on the west coast. Mostly hard wire vertical up, overhead 8 hours a day but when it comes to S.S water lines, I will practice and apply. Thanks! oh and i am visiting your web page and buying some of your DVD's :) happy welding my friend
Thanks for the info! , def going to pick up that TIG finger!
I like this, Tig welding leaves a very appealing reveal. Your work looks like fish scales. After watching this I want to try Tig welding
@ 9:05 "And it came out OK" OK????? Are you kidding me! That's one of the nicest welds I've ever seen!!!! You sir , are a master of your trade!!! Well done.
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge of tig welding!
Your "it probably would have looked a lot nicer if..." still looks a hell of a lot better than anything I could do. ;)
That's amazing " I love watching stuff like this .....
Thats really awesome welding. Great videos
Great stuff!! I will be looking for a TIG finger soon!!
This was a great video. I wish you the best
Wow amazimg. .learnt so much. Ibam a qualified welder. Awesome
Jody you make it look so easy
Thanks Jody!!! I would like to add that when walking the cup, you need to take care that you don't have too much dwell time on the toe's of the weld in order to prevent any undercutting. As soon as the puddle touches the toe, roll back towards the center of the weld. Your videos give an excellent view!
Your sales techniques eventually worked. Bought the TIG finger set. Should have bought earlier. Really good
Bro thank you for your video I learned more from your videos than any other videos on TH-cam thank you and yes I did subscribe.
I wish walking the cup was as easy as you make it look Jody! 👍🏻
It is actually easier don't make a big deal out of it ,been doing it since the sixties on nuclear plants and others
Thank you so much sir for yours easy teaching. It was really helpful to learn .
My welding teacher uses your videos
You one good welder...!!!
Thank you! Tomorrow i will try to weld better :) Today i finished learning oxyace welding and had tig in my hand for the first time
excellent arc shots
