Love all your video's. Never see much on 7024 or as some called it "drag rod." Used it a lot when welding during my apprenticeship many moons ago. Also used it with my, now gone, Lincoln tombstone box. At 73 I still enjoy welding projects and doing repairs, mostly as a hobby. MIG, TIG, STICK, Plasma cutting and full set of torches. TIG is now my favorite and recently welded a SS pipe to SS Harley Rotors for a flag pole.
I think this is great! Im a 62 year old retired certified welder, and it just galls me that the welding industry in general has been on a totally misleading PR campaign trying to lead young people into the welding field by featuring metal artists and motorcycle builders in their ads and articles! Now I’ve ALWAYS been a Lincoln man, but even ARC magazine that they produce was full of this kind of stuff, and totally overlooked the type of job that the vast majority of welders do! For every metal artist out there, there are hundreds if not thousands of guys welding structural steel, cross country pipelines, general fab and repair, etc, and making these young people believe that they’re going to be making a great living in an air conditioned “studio” making art is an outrage! Setting them up for a short stint in the industry is what they’re actually doing! When reality finds them laying in the mud welding on a broken earthmover or welding structural steel on a 95 degree day with no shade in sight, when they were lured in believing that art or motorcycle fenders in a climate controlled shop would be their destiny, most of them quickly move on to fast food management or something similar! Thanks for attempting to restore reality to an industry that can only be described as false front!
To be fair though, is there really any industry not guilty of a similar practice? Yes, it highly unlikely that a 19yr old is going to come out of school and be the lead fabricator for a big budget race team. Nothing says that same 19yr can’t save up over a few years, get the space and equipment to build and sell those things himself. It’s even easier in todays world to market yourself on Instagram, Facebook, etc.
To be fair though, don’t pretend like companies actually care about their people. They’re simply trying to bait folks in because they’re perpetually short on workers, and people will fall for it. You described yourself how it’s not necessarily a glamorous job, and if we want people to bow down and be slave to the capitalist overlords, then some light brainwashing is the cheapest and easiest way to accomplish that
Nothing new, I am afraid the due diligence needed to become a successful welder fabricator is not shared by most welding schools and most definitely most students are unaware of the mistreatment by industry using too many weldors as cannon fodder. The management is only looking for fast and cheap. I am a long retired woman millwright / welder / fabricator. So is my husband. He would never recommend repeating his career path though he even taught a College level TIG class. His average student had no interest in anything but the shananigans as seen on TV on " Monster Garage " and the likes of other programs. I was trying to find a welder for a company and couldn't find any. The company owner said " any GIBBON CAN WELD ". THAT IS PART OF THE PROBLEM. Don't have easy answers but I still love the work. My impression is that in Europe things are better. The employers MUST SUPPLY PAPA SUPPLIED AIR WELDING HELMETS to protect employees. Better pay and benefits too. Sorry for the rant but I love welding and the products it can provide. Stay safe all.
Man I totally agree just graduated from the Houston campus of Tulsa welding school as a certified welder and nceer certified fitters. Everyday I see recruiters selling these false promises too way too many Men and women my age only after you graduate do you realize that you don't need those certifications to get a job it's really just the experience itself. I couldn't agree with you more on this topic
Yeah I know what that's like man I've had a lot of friends a certified welders and I'm just a stove builder I don't want to weld that much it's too hard on your health. But on the big picture and I'd want to tell you that everybody is going to machinist the welders every talented person there's a few people left that said all the machines up there pretty sharp but the rest of us are just kind of getting dumb down and paid less we don't care if you're a certified welder just push this button when you think it's gone off track with the robot arm. It's not just the kids in the industry it's pretty much robotics has taken away all the jobs like welding and machine shop. Instead of a certified welder you'll be a machine operator.
Well done ! What amazes me is how many shops don't have a common stick welder machine ? If I could only pick one machine ..... It would be a stick welder with a big box of 6011 rods . LOL !
Love your videos Jody, not into welding much these days, but your videos are just so informative and well put together I never miss a chance to learn a bit more from you. Cheers!
Awesome ! My boss started giving me some projects recently so I'm welding every saturday with 7018. It's challenging for me since the factory where I'm working is filthy hahah ! Thanks for the tips, Louis-Fred Quebec
Wish I had this when I first started. It's awesome what you do, Jody. I've learned so much from your channel and at least think I'm successful. So thank you again.
Hey Jody, I'd love to get on board with this course, but it's 20 below and going to 33 below tonite in Northern Ontario. Just a little to cold to be trying to wield in my unheated garage. Maby you could offer this up again in May when it kinda warms up. Thanks from the bush.
Thanks for sharing with us Jody. Looks like a great class to take with all you need to get started right in the welding field. Stay safe and keep up the great information. Fred
Thank you sir for sharing this with us all and I've been wanting to get into welding for awhile now and have so many questions I don't know where to begin asking nor do I want to overload this comment I guess the most basic question I could ask is what in your/everyone who knows opinion is a good rig to start learning on as far as Mig goes?. I really want to learn not just for a hobby but eventually when I have enough money go to school to learn to gain a career in welding. It took me too long to figure out what I really/honestly wanted to do but this is it for sure so I thank you again for the information and tips on everything you've covered. Have a great rest of the weekend and I hope that all is well with you and yours good sir. 🙏🍻
One of the few materials i found working many job shops that is the bain for 90%of welders is anodized aluminum theres a fellow in florida who does tuna towers who makes it look flawless
Thanks for the great informative video your the man ,and your training the American future in the industry so you should be very proud aim a Union Electrician and do a little welding myself.
Always greatbrefreshers on the things you never use but need to be familiar with because when You need to use it it’s in your hard hard drive between those 2 ears.. ✅
Hi Jody, any chance of doing a video on welding polarity as a lot of them out there but they say the opposite to each other so very confusing Keep up all the hard work making videos All the best
I wonder why 6010 wont run on your Lincoln inverter welder? I scored a bunch of Lincoln 6010 stupid cheap but now I am worried it wont work with my welder. My welder is an off brand multi process about the same amps as your Lincoln. I thought I would be OK because 6010 says it is for DC. I guess I will have to try it and see.
I LOVE THIS!! Great stuff here!! Lots of familiar names from the podcast!! This sounds like a BLAST, going to check it out NOW!! ……well after this… Jody, after listening to and watching you I started etching my student’s welds. It started out pretty good but I have not had good results lately. I’m wondering if I can contact you to see what I am doing wrong or what I need to change. Not sure if this is a proper place to post my e-mail but I will if it is ok. Thank you.
You mentioned welding some 6011 on a portable inverter machine with a 110v drop cord. Wondering how long the drop cord was, or how long it could be ... assuming 3/12 cord. Thanks, new subscriber - Steve in Indiana.
Hi! Have you done a video on in the field stainless steel, open root purge, welding yet? I'm fighting a 10 inch 10ga. SS pipe at work, it's the high lows. I've got some highlows thst are riding 3/16 down and I'm getting it but it's very very difficult. (Using a keyhole method) haven't found other videos helping with this, Iif you can recommend one that would be greay
Great job. Serious question about stick welding. I have stick welder with Tig lift setting. Other day i accidentally stick welded with machine on Tig lift setting. I did notice way different sound and smoother arc,not as violent as when using arc setting. Will this hurt my machine,any pros or cons to doing stick welding while using Tig lift setting.
With my Primeweld tig225x, I want to run 6013 with AC. I couldn't find the setup in the manual for this. Does the stinger go in the positive side with the switch set to AC? been 35 years since I have stick welded. Thank you
Hey Jody. I’ve been watching the videos for years. Do you have a video about gap welding regular 90/10 gas shielded mig if so which one is it. Thanks love the videos
Hiya I have 175 lincon arc welder I'm using 6013 rods I'm welding in a vertical position and the weld doesn't seem to be getting a good key I've adjusted the amps from 65 up to 1oo due to the steel thickness I can forward photos on for you to tell me were I'm going wrong
Hello Jody, I have a question on electrode control. I see alot of videos where the person that is arc welding is holding/guiding the welding rod with their free hand . Is this a safe practice?
Hi, I'm having issues with this (yeswelder) machine from Amazon to weld with E6013 3/32 rods. It constantly stinking to the metal and its a pain in the neck to get it to wok.. i was trying 90-140Amp , current is 110 DC. If I'm right, the current in my home I'm talking about.. what can you tell me to get this to work.? I take the rods back to home Depot early..
Wow Jody, those weld shot look great. Been watching many videos. Wow m hoping to get a welder next year some time. ( I have other thing to buy before getting into welding)
Excuse my ignorance but what substance/chemical are you rubbing the Q tip with to show the difference? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks for all you do for us out here. 👍🏻
It's called a passivation solution. It's a type of acid. The stuff Jody uses woks almost instantly, but oven cleaner will work as well. It just takes longer to reveal the weld nugget.
Hey Jodi I have a question for you I’m in the market for a new tig machine I’m looking at a dynastic 210 or an htp ivertig 221 both water cooled any suggestions on which way to go?
You are the perfect person for a question of mine. I was recently on a job, I'm a structural welder, and I was welding a TON of angle saddles, the saddles being galvanized, to galvanized imbeds. Called for 5/16 weld all the way around, flat, vertical, and overhead. The first couple of days I was running a single pass with a 3/32 7010 and capping with a 1/8 7018, then I realized the code just called for 70XX. I started capping with 7010 and i had a few other welders question me. My question is: Is 7010 ran downhill up to structural code, and also is running 7010 uphill acceptable? (I seem to have similar penetration and the weld profile is pretty slick either way)
Is there anyone willing to explain differences between US and Europe rods? I know that there is difference in electrodes , but I am not sure what are those.
I've never commented on any of your videos and I'm sure you don't have the time to read them all. But I have to say being a union welder I have a hate/like relationship with your videos. You show great content but the question would be can you learn to weld directly online? What are your thoughts?
I always look where I'm going and at the puddle, don't really look where I've been. Keeping my arc the way I want it, then glance ahead to keep it straight. That's just me though
friend. ive watched a few of your videos here and there. please consider using a lav mic when youre talking to the camera. not paying attention to audio is not paying attention to the welding
Thanks for the memories and for getting me started in welding. Unfortunately as a hobbiest in retirement, I can't afford the subscription. I must therefore part ways and wish you all the best for the future.
Good afternoon, my name is Maxim. I want to ask you. Can your content be translated into Ukrainian and published on my channel? Sincerely, Maxim from Ukraine.

Thanks for sharing with us Jody. Looks like a great class to take with all you need to get started right in the welding field. Stay safe and keep up the great information. Fred
Love love love love mora and more for your videos. I've learned many tips and tricks from you.
Cảm on thầy con la nguoi viet nam nhung khong biết tieng thầy nói gi nhung co van tim theo moi han va con da duoc 70% han que thay oi chuc thay vui ve
In Australia we primarily use 7016's in construction
Very useful, my stick welding knowledge is lacking for sure.
Great video from an old welding instructor
Good video! Made me understand the American electrodes at last!
You should make a video tour if your shop
Master seniman api. Detail banget tutorial weldingnya ,🤝🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
this looks like a great deal.....your Welder Skills programs should do really well, good luck.....Paul
I love all you videos. I refer to them when needed. I have given friends your links and have item from weld monger
Hello,
Thanks for another useful video.
Could you share what kind of solution is used to etch cut weld?

Stop reading my mind man. I mig and tig at work, so I only play with stick at home. Was wondering the differences in polarity and rods. Good stuff
Thanks for the great informative video your the man ,and your training the American future in the industry so you should be very proud aim a Union Electrician and do a little welding myself.
My favorite 7018 and 7016 rods
Could you do a video on stick welding a propane tank? Im a casual welder but would like to see someone like you go at it.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the video🤗😎🤗😎
Really enjoyed your video and I'm checking out your web site. Thanks for making this and sharing this excellent info.

I was wondering why the Miller welding app is saying that the 6010 rod is dc + , dc- or ac. I’m not doubting anyone, just curious.
Almost at 1 million subs!!!

Thanks this is an awesome video
Thanks Jody
ได้ความรู้เยอะเลยครับ
You are the perfect person for a question of mine. I was recently on a job, I'm a structural welder, and I was welding a TON of angle saddles, the saddles being galvanized, to galvanized imbeds.

Is there anyone willing to explain differences between US and Europe rods? I know that there is difference in electrodes , but I am not sure what are those.
AC alternate current, DCEN direct current electrod negative, DCEP direct current electrod positive
Good job sharing
Good day Edwin here sorry to bother you Im building Shackle hanger brakets for a solid axle swap and im using 8mm steel
I've never commented on any of your videos and I'm sure you don't have the time to read them all. But I have to say being a union welder I have a hate/like relationship with your videos. You show great content but the question would be can you learn to weld directly online? What are your thoughts?
This is a re-run video from several years back.
I always look where I'm going and at the puddle, don't really look where I've been. Keeping my arc the way I want it, then glance ahead to keep it straight. That's just me though
Loan around the pipe please 🙏
Thank you for teach
Is this tig class on dvd Jody?
Not yet. Will definitely think about that
@@weldingtipsandtricks I would be interested in buying it.
why can`t I set up an account on welders skills
Show de bola
Muito bom,gostei muito.
Ahh viscosity of molten metals…
Maybe consider revising your title to include "for experienced welders"
friend. ive watched a few of your videos here and there. please consider using a lav mic when youre talking to the camera. not paying attention to audio is not paying attention to the welding
nice
Nice bro
Thanks for the memories and for getting me started in welding. Unfortunately as a hobbiest in retirement, I can't afford the subscription. I must therefore part ways and wish you all the best for the future.
Yeah I done welded with all of em if it's stick I welded with it
