I'm glad people pointed out that his method is flawed in the comments so that nobody welds incorrectly. But the question stands: why are so many people who already know how to weld watching a 'How-to Weld' video?
Have a t plate weld test coming up, thought id get some more info on how to approach it, guy can weld but for an instructional video I would have gave better examples.
thank you for this.. I'm new to welding I'm a retired Marine I was an Artillery Canoneer. but u can't come blow up entire city blocks in the civilian world so now I'm signed up to get certified as a welder at my local community college here in California so the way u showed this helps ALOT
This weld was a few years ago, made a reference to 500 subs, he is now at 10,000 subs. Yes, this particularly bad welding is not a secret, HOWEVER.. The man has a good attitude and with that anything is possible. Good luck.
I say this not to be negative, but to stop anyone from learning this the wrong way. I was a welder almost 19 years ago and worked in a shipyard in Sabine Pass, Texas. I only worked there for about a year, mostly stick welding, but also a good bit of MIG. I worked with galvanized and regular old steel plate (galvanized smokes a fair bit and is not great for your respiratory system - old timers say drink milk afterward). My boss was Kenny Cotlong (maybe Cutlong), he told me I was a good welder but I should be an attorney, or engineer, or doctor... something using my brain more :) To Kenny, thank you sir! No matter the materials or positions welded in; the weld examples shown here would be fails. Your first weld had too much under-cut, and that is not a safe condition. You would also not weld over the poor pass, but grind it out and re-weld properly. Anyone looking to be a semi-decent welder should either: A - find a welder who can spend a few hours with them, or B - take a few classes at a local welding school. It is not rocket science but does take some real patience, and you HAVE to develop some muscle memory to adapt to the stick continually shortening. Also, you have to 'see' the pool as your weld moves forward. If you see undercut, you have to adjust your speed or the amps. Anyway, cool to see people welding on TH-cam. I miss it sometimes, but most of the time I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY that I don't depend on it for a living anymore! As a side note: One morning a guy took my whip & lead while I was gone to the rod cage to get supplies. When I realized what happened I went and told Kenny about it. He just looked at me with disappointment and said: "Well go knock the fuck out of whoever took and get it back". I proceeded to locate my missing whip/lead, which was easy to do because I had 'customized' my whip with crazy colored paint. I walked up to the welder who had it (he was welding at that moment) and yanked it from his hands. When he lifted his hood and started yelling I knocked the fucker right in the jaw and he fell down. About 15 minutes later I was called to the yard foreman's office for a talk! He told me that assaulting people was not appropriate behavior and that if I did something like that again, he would have to let me go. I told him (Roy was his name I believe) that theft was also not an appropriate behavior, and the next time I could either knock the fuck out of the guy or call the police. He said I should talk to Kenny next time before I went off punching people..... LOL, LOL. I never gave Kenny up for being the one who told me to go pop the fucker! WELD-ON, you leathernecks!
"Can you guess what is probably going to be the most common weld you're ever going to perform?". Why do you think I clicked on a video titled "Fillet Welds" dude? I'm glad I read some of the comments first as well. Saved me wasting 11 minutes of my life.
Yeah idk man, im sure the guy can weld enough for hobbyist tasks, but when you make an instructional video you should make an effort to give good examples and make sure your doing everything properly.
I just started learning but when I try fillet weld I get a fat bead on one side and still have a gap and doesn't touch the other side even I feel im weaving both sides. Thin plate metal with 3/32 6013 at 75amps. any tips?
Why are you using 90amps? Our welding instructor taught us to use 115-120 for flat and horizontal. The amps you are using for horizontal sounds like what we used for vertical. We used 85-90 for vertical. My machine ran a little cold so I used 100 for vertical and sometimes 125 for horizontal but 120 was usually good enough.
God explanation and honest on your own mistakes - it is an example how to show that mistakes can occur even if You are experienced welder. One suggestion - to keep your health safe do not breathe within welding fumes without good ventilation or filtering mask - it may cause cancer or other health issues!
Let's say I have very long metal bars to be welded together, how do I position and stick them togehter to make sure they are in perfect position before welding?
Grind each end at a 45 degree have a gap between both, tack them together on a flat table use a straight edge to make sure they are straight. First pass use a E6011 rod, grind and brush the pass. Next weld a E7018 rod until it is filled. You may want to grind the weld smooth. Do not cool with water the weld after the first pass or the last one. Doing so can make the bar brittle and can crack or even break easy.
Filling down fillet welds back to square? Can anyone tell me why I can't do this. I have been arc welding these fillet welds and filling down again for a few weeks, beveling each time but the problem is when I file the weld down the part basically falls off with no penetration. It's 8mm steel with a 3.2mm 7018 rod. I've ordered 4mm rods to try out but I can't see what else I could be doing wrong. I've obviously played with amperage, ground connection, 2 different welder machines and its always bright clean steel. The wrong rod or is it my welding? I am quite new but I can do just fine joining to pieces of flat bar and grinding it down. Just the fillet welds once ground don't seem to hold any strength
75 amps would of worked perfectly fine, all you gotta do is slow down your travel speed and make sure you're pointing your rod slightly back towards the puddle to keep from shooting slag ahead of unwelded surface. Also ANYTHING you Weld on will look way better if you grind your mil scale off
my welds always end up on either face of the angle and almost never welds right in the 90 degree area where the metal meets.....what am i doing wrong..,..
Sorry guys, I cant see it well, in the first welding , is he moving the electrode in a zig-zag fashion, or he just did a whole straight line pointing the joint?
that’s what I did wrong yesterday on my welding course. Couldn’t get the 90 degrees welding right, it was to low amperage (180 degrees welding went smooth).
What stick size were you using. as long as you made a "cover pass" over the base, you're good to go! Thanks for sharing. I'm new to.welding & I've been practicing out in my shop most everyday. I'm have in a blast!
Just read some of the comments and some were critical of turning the amps down.. I believe since this is a training video he did it on purpose to show how just a few amps make such a difference One does not learn if someone is always doing everything perfect. Now being a new welder I would have liked to see how he tacked it also. Great video
you should definitely root bass that with a 6011, then cover pass with 7018, that had some undercut too. but you never stop learning when it come to welding, but i just wouldn’t teach if u can’t weld
Great video. I changed my welding rods to low hydration. They seem to require higher amps to get started. I did a weld on a limited piece of weld and achieved great results that I will only use the better high strength welding rods. Getting those stop and starts. How does one feel? Doesn't make me feel good so I need to rectify. Thanks for the upload.
Nice job- nice fix.Question-going to be applying for a welding job-all fillet welding-3/8 galv.I was told that the previous welder ran 800 linear feet in a day.Doesnt that seem excessive?A foot a minute in a 10 hour day is only 600 foot.Thanks.
Porosity at the end... no bueno. You cannot weld on top of it because it will make you weld weak. You have to fix the problem instead of keep going. But that's just my opinion....
Fidel Medina Thank you for your comment, it’s far from obvious to me as I’m sure it is for most newbies. When you say "…fix the problem instead of keep going…" I’m presuming you mean stop the first weld, reset your machine, length of arc or angle of electrode. But how would a newbie know it’s going wrong? I’ve only done MIG and flux core so far though I’ve practiced striking a rod and running a line, as everyone says it’s so difficult. I think I could manage a half respectable butt weld but I admit the idea fillet stick welds intimidates me. I’m just a semi retired hobbyist and I’ve never done anything remotely like welding in either of my careers.
Mark Harris Its hard to teach, 60% of it is practice and finding what works for you, but you need help sometimes and I think thats why everyone is so upset, they came for an instructional video and the guy is teaching people bad habits.
I am a beginner but when I first saw this video I immediately noticed that there were too many mistakes. Totally wrong weld! Lol I’m sorry I’m just being honest. I’ve seen very very good welding skills. Thanks for the video though m. We also learn from people’s mistakes.
If you polish off the mill scale with an 80's grit flap wheel you will achieve a better weld and a cleaner finish. All that brown mess is mill scale that burnt off during welding. Some of that mill scale will also have contaminated the weld pool and as such can lead to porosity and therefore weakness.
man, fuck you it was my first day, laugh all you want but my first paycheck i'm gonna pick me up some of those blue pills and bang the slag off yer ol' ladys snapper.
I have been welding for a while and I was always told to pull the weld and not push. Pushing away from you can make the welds uneven. Also you don't need to use water to cool down the metal just let it cool on its own, if you had just welded the peace while it was still hot turning it down would have came out a better weld. Also not cleaning out the slag leads to a bad weld you will have a contaminated weld that will not pass an inspection.
Tip : go a bit faster when you weld and also when you were done welding I saw a some under cut also when you break the slag put the chisel in angles where the chisel can break the slag.
It looks rough to me the size and thickness of the weld is inconsistent. You need to keep going to welding school. When you get better call me up and maybe I can get you in as a 3rd class welder or what it is known in the ship yard ( tacker).
As my high school instructor said, "if your weld is inconsistent, pay attention to your weld puddle, temperature, and speed" he went a consistent speed pretty much so he may have lost track of his puddle. It never hurts to practice and look for constructive criticism. Also if I'm not mistaken he probably was using a flash freeze rod which always looks rougher than non flash freeze rods. Also harder to clean too.
Welding over a bad weld is THE WORST thing you can do. NEVER do this.... one of many reasons is when running another bead over a bad weld will weaken the previous weld or worse create a slag pocket between what looks like a good weld. The issue is any pocket or void in a weld is a weak point in the weld and defeats the point of the weld. What he should have done was grind the bad weld down to the surface of good metal and then rewelded the 2 pieces. (or attempted too)
I'm glad people pointed out that his method is flawed in the comments so that nobody welds incorrectly. But the question stands: why are so many people who already know how to weld watching a 'How-to Weld' video?
They want to know more techniques. They want to perfect their art
Looking for good video for a buddy that can't weld and wont listen to me so maybe dumbass will listen to a video been welding 20 years
Hahahahahaha
Because it was on my home page
Have a t plate weld test coming up, thought id get some more info on how to approach it, guy can weld but for an instructional video I would have gave better examples.

dont take this advice his weld are some shit he has undercut and terrible passes

I learn from my mistakes and I learned from this guy's. I appreciate the video.
A perfect video about not-to-dos. To learn about welding, I will go somewhere else.
Great. Good to see the enormous difference of welding with low amperage and a correct one.
I say this not to be negative, but to stop anyone from learning this the wrong way. I was a welder almost 19 years ago and worked in a shipyard in Sabine Pass, Texas. I only worked there for about a year, mostly stick welding, but also a good bit of MIG. I worked with galvanized and regular old steel plate (galvanized smokes a fair bit and is not great for your respiratory system - old timers say drink milk afterward). My boss was Kenny Cotlong (maybe Cutlong), he told me I was a good welder but I should be an attorney, or engineer, or doctor... something using my brain more :) To Kenny, thank you sir!
No matter the materials or positions welded in; the weld examples shown here would be fails. Your first weld had too much under-cut, and that is not a safe condition. You would also not weld over the poor pass, but grind it out and re-weld properly.
Anyone looking to be a semi-decent welder should either: A - find a welder who can spend a few hours with them, or B - take a few classes at a local welding school. It is not rocket science but does take some real patience, and you HAVE to develop some muscle memory to adapt to the stick continually shortening. Also, you have to 'see' the pool as your weld moves forward. If you see undercut, you have to adjust your speed or the amps.
Anyway, cool to see people welding on TH-cam. I miss it sometimes, but most of the time I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY that I don't depend on it for a living anymore!

bigcrabrob cheers bud,you cracked me up today.thanks for the tips too
bigcrabrob thanks for your advice bro!

im students technical of welding thanks for your advice
So what did you do as your job instead of welding

@@mickeysanker1547 I'd probably be doing it infield so there's no table to lay them all on.
How can I remove a piece of metal that someone else welded on . I was wondering if I could use a blow torch
Are you touching the plate with the electrode or is there a few mm gap
We learn everyday,cheers mate
thankyou for your video - great demonstration and I learned some new things
Better than my welding for sure.

He never answered. Not a very thorough video. Looks like 7024 or 7018.
@@whollenbeck8 Thankyou👍🏼
Try angling the first pass up more to help stop that undercut. Only 1/32 of undercut is allowed on structural welds. And or try slowing down some.
Just read some of the comments and some were critical of turning the amps down.. I believe since this is a training video he did it on purpose to show how just a few amps make such a difference
One does not learn if someone is always doing everything perfect. Now being a new welder I would have liked to see how he tacked it also. Great video
How is that good on the first bead? Undercut and porosity
help. when i weld 6mm plate with stick i always burn the end plates or the weld is too small. what should i do?
Keep at it man you only get better with practice.
you should definitely root bass that with a 6011, then cover pass with 7018, that had some undercut too. but you never stop learning when it come to welding, but i just wouldn’t teach if u can’t weld
Is there a gap needed to be kept between the surface of two metal while performing fillet weld. ??
Are you dragging the rod???

Everyone make mistakes even sometimes pros.
Sheep Dog69 Lmaoooooo
Can anyone explain what undercut is exactly
Watch these welds. It's where there may be too much heat, it gouges at the toes of the bead. It's a serious flaw, and could fail your welds
Why only 3/32 rod on a 3/8 piece I’m no professional welder, but I’d suggest at least 1/8 rod 7018.
Bubba slow er down get a pattern you like take your time and you will improve for sure good video keep it goin
hahhahaha...I salute your bravery man , I can't beat your thing man, you're the best.
I've been a welder 30 years and that is some of the worst I've ever seen. Taught people to weld better than that in 1 hour!!!!!!
I have been welding for a while and I was always told to pull the weld and not push. Pushing away from you can make the welds uneven. Also you don't need to use water to cool down the metal just let it cool on its own, if you had just welded the peace while it was still hot turning it down would have came out a better weld.

Sorda like caulking around the bathtub, pulling leaves a smoother trail.
Paul, thankyou for this Video . . . Chris . . . Norwich, England
Can u make a video on welding hazards?
Sir you can weld like the best! It takes skills to get slag inclusions with 7018 lol
thanks for the demo !!!
watching this on 2022 . . thanks for this legacy
Hlo sir what is permeter.
thank you for the vids they really help hobby welders learning the right way to do things.
Its helpful to me. Thnk u sir
after chipping there will be a groove then how to fill the groove
Stick welding is pretty fun. I really like getting my powerarc out and striking a rod. Too bad it is so smokey
thank you so much for put a filter to the camera.
220 or 110v
iwant open corner joint please
Just imagine if he hadn’t used Lincoln Excalibur rods, the welds would be so much more worse WOW
Hey how about you give him some tips instead of making fun
im new to welding and from what I have learned so far I DO NOT APPROVE OF THIS VIDEO 😂😂😂
My welding teacher once told me “ there are no bad welders ,just some are better than others “ He was wrong
Jim Murphy 😂😂😂
When Stick welding how do not whatcha the arc
Wtf??? My teacher would have lost his shit lmao
Good Job Sir
I can’t believe this was uploaded
848_ Hull_sT lol
First pass should be 30 degrees then 30 again right above that bead. Then 45 for the bottom bead. Lol thats why you undercut the top
You got adequate weld size but also had wayyyyy too much undercut. That weld would fail with minimal stress
what about vetical up
thanks really helpful
Tip : go a bit faster when you weld and also when you were done welding I saw a some under cut also when you break the slag put the chisel in angles where the chisel can break the slag.
Thank you 🇹🇷
Buy a set of gauges. There is no way thats a 3/8 weld. hell it looks low in spots to even call it a 1/4
"I don't have the greatest ventilation"
go outside then
What does the size of the weld Matter If you have a concave undercut weld... FAIL !!!
Ran too hot and too long of an arc. Too much undercut.
I'm just starting out learning how to weld with my everlast welder. Despite being new, I see what you are saying.
U fucking suck! Im a fucking weelding student
Too hot? lol any less and the rod wouldnt burn properly needs to be hotter arc too long is why its undercutt
and he should'nt have to bash the slag off, way too hot
I have no comment whatsoever. Lmfao.
Should grind that bad bead out vefore running a nother
Amps was to high. Am seeing undercut, bee bees and at the end you was long arcing.
It looks like 7018 is running with AC machine
U can walk it down n a circle motion
Rake not peck with the chipping hammer
When you have it right the slag comes off by itself.
Good job
You have no idea what you're doing, this should be a video on how not to weld.
Jon McGill 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭😭
Haha for real

Which is why YOU are here trying to learn. You've probably never welded once in your life.
It looks rough to me the size and thickness of the weld is inconsistent. You need to keep going to welding school. When you get better call me up and maybe I can get you in as a 3rd class welder or what it is known in the ship yard ( tacker).
As my high school instructor said, "if your weld is inconsistent, pay attention to your weld puddle, temperature, and speed" he went a consistent speed pretty much so he may have lost track of his puddle. It never hurts to practice and look for constructive criticism. Also if I'm not mistaken he probably was using a flash freeze rod which always looks rougher than non flash freeze rods. Also harder to clean too.
Well I guess the answer because it is the title of your video LMAO
Good video,but work on the ventilation
Welding over a bad weld is THE WORST thing you can do. NEVER do this.... one of many reasons is when running another bead over a bad weld will weaken the previous weld or worse create a slag pocket between what looks like a good weld. The issue is any pocket or void in a weld is a weak point in the weld and defeats the point of the weld.
What he should have done was grind the bad weld down to the surface of good metal and then rewelded the 2 pieces. (or attempted too)
Saba kol!!!
Is good to watch n learn we all have to go through stages in welding
Devon Phillips couldn’t agree more
Give the guy a break. He’s not baddd. His machine seems to be messed.
They say "those that can, do. Those that can not, teach" It would seem from watching this video you can do neither.
thank you for knowledge you share
