I just found your Chanel probably in the last 2-3 weeks and I really enjoy it very informative! Great real world in the field content 👍👍👍👍 i don’t weld for a living anymore and miss it from time to time so every once in a while I’ll rebuild a bucket or something for a buddy but after 20 plus years doing it I can truly appreciate your craft and have to say keep up the good work the lesson your teaching most are not taught in school and you have to do it to learn it and to anyone starting out you could be a real asset can’t wait for your next video
I am certified underwater welder. You need to use rod that has the flux treated or dipped at minimum. Normally you reverse the polarity and never get between your work and the ground. As for welding underwater you set your lead and work angle and let it burn in. You can NOT manipulate your weld puddle undewater and get any penetration.
bottom block tells it all. It's filled with gravel not concrete,I truly doubt all those cores are filled properly. Weight transfer will be a big problem.
That crazy how both sides cracked like that. Id be a lil skeptical about it too. If it had a stick of rebar in the block void along with filling it up, I'd feel less worried about it. But i believe you got it supported for awhile now...til it rusts out atleast.😅😂👍🏻👌🏻⚡🔌⚠️🔩🔧🗜️📐📏🛠️✔️🤷🏻♂️🍻
couldnt you plug a small pump up to a long hose or something and have it sump while you weld? i think if the clamp is on the post it shouldnt shock the water running through the tube going to the pump because the circuit is completed at the weld point
CB, I always learn something from your videos, and on this one, seeing you weld in a puddle of water was something I have not experienced personally. I’m with the owner…those blocks cracking would unnerve me a bit as well. Any particular reason you went with 3” square tune versus 4”? I suppose your base was the reason, which I think was a bit of genius. As I sit here its 11 degrees here in Virginia, and never got over 22 degrees all day. I can’t beleve those Amish guys were in their shirt sleeves! Keep up the good work and the vids!
Underwater welding is usually done with paraffin coated 7014, it takes a while to get used to it but it is not too difficult. Time at depth is the major complication with underwater welding, nitrogen bubbles in the bloodstream, the bends!

Thank you
In all the welding videos I have watched, I had never seen somebody strike an arc under a big puddle of water. Interesting content as usual!
Whatever it takes
I welded in the rain once. Does that mean I can call myself an underwater welder? Great video as always!
I think so!

Thanks for the info
I member them days of shoveling snow off flat roofs , and some had stones, them suck also 👌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Nice job, yes rebar and filled 3 or 4 blocks from corner would have helped. Good recovery though.
"It's probably ok!".....Isn't that Boeings company motto? 😂
Yea that's what I heard lately
Underwater welder, yep. That will work. Just like I do things, it needs to be done, you just get r done.
That's right
Привет из России.Работал на паровой котельной 9 лет,очень часто приходилось сваривать с водой ,так как задвижки не держали воду,понимаю вас.
Looks like you kept it from falling down. Ky

Under water welder....don't you need a snorkel and mask?😂
Na...just don't breathe

If you don't put rebar in the cells, motor filled is useless.
I thought filling with morter increased crush strength of block even without rebar

You could pump the water out but I saw no reason to bother with that

We used 3" because 2×4 stud walls are gonna be framed and they can hide the column inside the wall
У нас только электроды были Esab OK46
