    Great video , and like how you showing that your welding , and giving info also putting the weld close up Good point on body positioning like that also Not like other video where people just talking about I m a welder , and blah blah blah never show them welding when they talk about I'm out here on the job welding etc . In less you watching videos from a tech school Maybe there is video out there , but I haven't found one I like your. Your is 💯 , and I'll keeping coming back to learn more

    I've been retired for 6 years but I still like to strike an arc every day. Gotta weld something. Thanks for taking the time. I worked for a weld professor who would run you out of his shop for welding down hand, but I have found if you know how to handle a stinger you can weld anything any position. Keep on doing what you're doing.

    That's a beautiful weld.
    I couldn't believe when I first discovered welding that you could join two bits of metal together to it looked like they'd never been apart. I suddenly realized that with a welder and angle grinder you could make ANYTHING!
    As an ear surgeon though I'm a bit worried that you don't wear hearing protection. All welders wear eye protection, and ears are no less precious!

    This bloke is so energetic and his weld was fast and it was a pleasure watching a true craftsman. Nearly all welds in the field are now TIG welded in Australia. Hardly any grinding and less repairs. With 6010's their is always the chance of worm holes and porosity.

    And this is how we did it 20 years ago. This weld takes way too long, the weld is closed, but take an RX of it, and you are screwed. Good for beginners though. Look how he needs to clean after every weld: he HAS to, or slack wins the game.
    Conclusion: this guy really knows how to weld with a Rod and he LOVES his job: He's not the best but he is just hilmself.

      Phil Boardman Sad it’s so poorly looked on. All they want to do is sell $3000 + machines which are complicated and not weather friendly. Those old AC/DC welders last a lifetime, can be had for $300-500 and are downright CHEAP consumables. Strange to most, I find stick easier than MiG unless it’s super thin material.

      TheWeldProfessor Thx Bro! Want to ask you a serious question. I’m seriously considering a career change. I’m currently a local truck driver in North Carolina and looking a change. I have some welding experience and was wanting to get on the pipeline. I just purchased a SA200 to start practicing pipe welding. I’m 38 years old. Do you think starting at a later age in the pipeline is a good decision? Thanks in advance

    • @kronicsoldier
      @kronicsoldier 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      can start at any age... Its the hood time that matters... IF you`re going straight for pipe.. I mean Id probably at least first attempt all position open root plate tests... here in Canada its a pre-req for pipe ticket anyway.. Once you feel comfortable running that key hole with both 6010/6011 rods and running your hot pass and cap with 7018 take your pipe test.. Pipe is expensive as fackkk thats why I suggest the plate first 3/8th or 1/2`inch plate get a feel for what gap you like most people run 3/32 or 1/8th but thats welder preference usuallly you just knock the flux of a rod and thats how you set your gap.... Dont get frustrated it takes A LOT of hood time before you become one of the good hands on the pipeline... one avenue for you may be to start as a welders helper.. and hope you get a good welder who shares his knowledge and help you try to break out. You cant just jump on the pipeline and start welding pipe even if youre a natural and can weld out a 2ìnch with your eyes closed you need to be ticketed and have the proper credentials. Here on the pipeline you must be a journeyman (there is a little leeway to this rule but you gotta be damn good), and you absolutely MUST (no exceptions) be ticketed and carry a B-Pressure pipe ticket. The Leeway comes from before they wouldnt let you test for b-pressure unless you were a journeyman but now if youre a block 2 or 3 and have a employer sign off that you work on anything round... can even be hand rails or any of that bullshit.. They will give you a open root plate you have to put the root in vertical and hotpass and cap overhead.. If its good they`ll let you do the 6g pipe test but they are a lot more picky... root has to be perfect and cap has to be perfect so make sure u blend in any undercut or anything before you try and pass visual and then you will have to torch cut your pipe and have them bend the coupons. If it breaks your excluded from redoing the test until youre a journeyman.

      KRoNiC SouLJaH thanks bro. Pipe is freaking expensive so I picked up some plate like you suggested. Will plate weld the same as the pipeline pipe?

    • @kronicsoldier
      @kronicsoldier 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I found the 4 position open root plate test harder than the pipe test. Theyre 4 different welds and all have to pass in order to move to pipe. Pipe is all one weld and its very similar, although pipe is chemically made up of a different composition you wont really notice it... You can get boiler plate but than youre going to run into it being expensive as well to be honest plain old mild steel plate is going to be harder so when you get to the boiler sch pipe or plate youll notice your puddle control is better because it takes the heat better. The main thing is controlling that keyhole in the root and feathering your starts and stops and have the backside of that root looking ace. the hot pass will push it in a little then stack your dimes on the cap to add to the aesthetics and bang your gold.

    I agree with most comments on here in which this guy has amazing energy and you can tell he loves what he does. You can also tell that the man knows what he's doing with his start stops but with all that being said, I'm surprised nobody else other than myself had noticed there was porosity in his root pass, his filler, as well as his cap had porosity. There was much more porosity in the filler pass and only noticed a few pinholes in the cap. This may be a project where porosity does not matter much but coming from a welder myself and in my opinion, it should not matter what you're doing, you should stick to shooting for no pin holes, cracks or contamination of any kind. With that being said again it still looked very good

    I miss those days of being a welders helper on pipelines. I got discouraged by my welding ability since the welder I was working with always said either you have it or you don't. Now I've been a dirty xray hand for the past 10 years and I always wonder if I could have been a welder if I stuck it out.

    • @MetalByBrian
      @MetalByBrian 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I would imagine that the welding unit has steps of circa 50 amps, so for example the first clunk will be 50-100 2nd 100-150. Then the remote allows you to adjust within that range, for example, in the first clunk region (50-100) if you set the remote to 45, that would mean the total amps is 95. That's how my 1968 reyrolle welder works here in the UK 👍
