Thanks Austin, I really enjoy watching you stick welding so much. You do and awesome job explaining what needs to be done then showing us how to do it. Stay safe and keep up the good teachings. Fred.
Mr Ross sir, I’ve been really getting into your youtube videos lately and you’ve been inspiring me to be a better welder, I struggled on verticle uphill on 1/8 rod for 7018 and seeing your video on welding hinges for gates really helped me, I just happend to have a competition for ag mechanics in the state of California for state finals and I placed 2nd in the state on the welding portion because of my vertical uphill on 7018 and other welds and just wanna say thank you for inspiring me and motivating me to be a better welder i can be
I love your cat and your addition of him in your videos. The first time I saw him, I thought it was my cat that I had to bury last December. Same color hair, same face, even the same cut off tail. My cat got his tail stripped from a greyhound dog and we had to have it amputated. That cat had more personality than most people and he was good for me and my wife. He always seemed to know when we were needy. Thanks for the great videos. I just stumbled on your channel 3 days ago and I love it.
Hey Austin great video. I’ve been welding for 25 years and what helps me when putting pipe together is using angle-Iron. That decreases all hi/low. It’s just what I do. Keep up the burning rod. Doing great.
Awesome video loved the close up welding shots rod angles and explanations hope to see more videos of the whole build. Love your content. Keep ‘em coming Austin 👍 ☕️
When fitting 10’ or less joints, I found it easier for me to use 3 jack stands total. The center jack stand on the weld itself. I find it easier to square/true up the joints to each other. May or may not work for everybody. Just something I like to do. See what you think.
I always mooned a pipe. If you have a full moon when you look down the inside of a pipe you are straight. The outside of a pipe is hard to tell. Gun barrels used to be forged with hexagons so they could make them straight.
Hi Austin, am new to your channel. I like the way you handle the project. I do project my self and I thought I mite mention the way I do pipe welding. I do have stands just like you have, the only difference I modify where the pipe rest. I made bracket with 2 ball bearrings and weld it on top of stand. I rest the pipe on the stand and now I dont have to get on my kneas to weld the bottom part of pipe. I just slowly turn the pipe around. Keep up the good work. Paul from California 👍
Austin, I’m surprised you don’t use the less expensive process of oxy/propane for cutting. I dumped acetylene (becasue I don’t weld with that process ever) and have never looked back. Yeah you go through more 02, but that’s cheap compared to a cylinder of acetylene. Propane lasts about 4:1 large cylinders of oxygen. It’s much cheaper and cuts through everything. I was originally hesitant and had a slight learning curve to find a neutral flame, as it’s a little different than finding a neutral flame with acetylene. But now I love it and will never go back. Plus with oxy/propane, you don’t have to worry about the “1/7 rule” when discharging an acetylene tank.
I'm a Mig and Tig feller, have been for 14 years...but like ya say....a puddle is a puddle! I'd like to dive into stick and flux core as well. I know I can dive right in....just figurin' my next move!
Dude your honestly great for this 100% even when you run out of ways to explain it you just get to it and it shown in your work what you meant. Its the blue collar way for sure🖤🤣
What ya say on learning to vertical 5/32s? For me I think it makes running a 1/8 way easier when you learn how to carry all that metal. Mild steel and Low Hi. Just thought I’d ask what you think.
One 10 lb. can of your finest 5P+ please! Edit: Hey man, thank you for making welding videos, I’ve followed you since your lining days. The welds look great but why downhill with the 5P? I learned downhill but as soon as I was confident enough running uphill I never looked back. Your time is your most precious resource, rotate your work and run four to twelve o’clock, time and back saver!
I have not used a lot of different roads, 6011 and 7018 have always been my go to for repairing the equipment my family owns, most of the time I find my self using the mig welder cause its so much easier, if I am in side that is. Is there a lot of difference using the 6010 over the 6011.
Hi Austin, I was wondering if you could do a review on the left dial and the right dial, like when would you normally turn it up or down. Also how do you set it to use for remote. Do you leave the right dial on 0 and the left one on a setting depending the size of pipe? I have a SAE 300 mp and I’m still a bit confused when it comes to those two settings. I’ve been searching for a video that gives me a better understanding but I haven’t found one. I just want to be able to understand my machine a bit more, it was a big investment 😅. Thank you very much
When I see you or others burn 6010 it doesn’t seem to spark and splatter near as bad, but when I run 6010/6011 they are like sparklers. Maybe it’s the camera, filtering it out. 7018 burns so nice and smooth compared to 6010. But watching others burn 6010 it doesn’t splatter near as much (so it seems)
@@haroldphipps3457, no doubt it’s faster downhill but the weld bead is thinner and your slag inclusion is greater because your constantly fighting gravity pulling unfrozen slag into your puddle. Learn uphill and never have to grind or “patch” over a section again.
@Nick Dee I understand that. FACT remains, damn near 100% of pipeline welds are done down. I prefer up as well. I have always been wondering why pipeliners weld down. But I've never been a pipeline weldor.
Just curious, but when welding steel so thick, why don't you use 5/32" or even 1/4" electrodes since they're thicker and would need less passes. I'm not a pro welder just curious I'm also assuming your welder can put out enough current.
So I'm thinking of making pancake hoods and I want to make them like the steve fenton hoods. Never owned one but what materials are they from. I've only owned sarges and the og pancakes
So why downhill as opposed to welding uphill on this pipe? Does it really matter? Ppl always tell me weld uphill but I weld downhill most the time. I’m working on learning how to weld pipe. Your videos have helped a lot.
Is it me or did you not sound like Jerry Lee Lewis when you were talking to your cat on the welder, if you're gonna be in the shop doing nothin you might as well be using the welding machine not sleepin on it. 😂
What do you run your acetylene/oxy on? Like, on the gauges? I always end up having trouble getting clean bevels. They have all those cruddy little cuts in the bevel.
I’d just charge my hourly rate plus whatever materials I needed if any. I usually would charge at least a 2 hour minimum possibly more depending on the situation and location of the job.
@@Royalewitchee Manipulate your rod more not necessarily faster . Get some plate run a cap on it with either rod in the vertical position running down hand . let the plate cool between each rod . You will see they burn different and look different . Arc length and rod angle are important
Pipe is measured on the inside diameter. Tubing is measured outside. Not a big deal, but when you've done it one way for 50 years, it really naws on me when you say it backwards. Sorry
"I can't help myself, I got to fix the bug hole"
Taking pride in your work. 👍🏾
That freakin STACK of steel tho 🤤 jealous lol keep up the content Austin 👍🏻 been watching you for a looonnggg time ol buddy

Awesome story, bro. Sometimes you are just missing that one little piece of info for it to all come in clear and really understand what you are doing.

We always enjoy watching your videos, they're always informative and helpful.
Greetings from just down the road in Carney. I try to learn something every day. When it comes to welding, for me, the supply is endless.
Looks good Billy!!👍
Looks slick man 👍
Ross you are my favorite weldet
Welder
Appreciate sharing knowledge awesome God bless you!
Cats rock!
Классное видео мего лайк. Молодец Астин

Try keeping a tighter or shorter arc length. Also try burning a touch cooler.
You’re welding up gold bars there fella! Use those pieces up. Nice work sir.
Thanks! And thank you for watching!
Any tips on preventing those 6010 bug holes? I've had a few pop up on me randomly and I'm not too sure why.
Love the content! Thank you
6010 should be run uphill for lots of reasons. Way harder to learn but worth it.
Slightly hotter and a tight arch length seems to help with big holes sometimes.
@Nick Dee how come pipeliners run it downhill?
Speed.
But, it also X-rays when they run it downhill.

Hello fro Denmark. Love your easy to understand and learning new skills. Fuck i love that cat 🙀 🙀 cool little guy
Hate to comment on such an old video. But what brand are your jack stands. I'm just about to the point where I need to get some.
Miniature Lion 🤣🤣🤣
Im a rig welder in Abilene,Tx and would love to come up and hang out for a bit and maybe work on a project together. Been doing it 15 years as well
Ok, probably a stupid question. I have a hunch buuut… why isn’t he rolling it back and forth in that z pattern that I see so many welders use?
Just curious, but when welding steel so thick, why don't you use 5/32" or even 1/4" electrodes since they're thicker and would need less passes. I'm not a pro welder just curious I'm also assuming your welder can put out enough current.
I would normally run a 5/32 hot pass but I was just runnin all one size for fun.
@@arosswelding Oh that makes sense. The more ya know.
clamp each one to a piece of angle iron
The cat came along to aid your design
Austin for the 8inch pipe that goes in the middle when you saddle the both sides how many more inches do you give it so it fits good
Lay a piece of angle iron over the pipes
Austin will there be a part two to this video?
You bet. Stay tuned 😎
So I'm thinking of making pancake hoods and I want to make them like the steve fenton hoods. Never owned one but what materials are they from. I've only owned sarges and the og pancakes
Kev sleeping on the job 😂
I’m going
So why downhill as opposed to welding uphill on this pipe? Does it really matter? Ppl always tell me weld uphill but I weld downhill most the time. I’m working on learning how to weld pipe. Your videos have helped a lot.
Its up to the engineers. Its a good idea to learn both.
@@jackkrinkov9273 I figured that was the reason. I do both ways.
What welding hood are you using ? I love your videos

5 acet 40 oxy
@@ShErLoCkHolMez87 I’ll give it a go. My instructor last year had us use 7 / 27.
It’s all preference, just never go above 15 with acet
Miniature lion...🤣 perfect discrimination!
Kev just critiquing your blue print. He thought it was Purrfect
Good videos bro! I have a question, how do you charge to make a weld repair on a semi truck? Crack repairs
I’d just charge my hourly rate plus whatever materials I needed if any. I usually would charge at least a 2 hour minimum possibly more depending on the situation and location of the job.
@@arosswelding ok yeah that sounds about right. Thanks and once again keep it up making good videos!
What causes a bug hole?
It’s about time to change the channel name to Saddlemaster 😂
How different is the 8010 puddle compared to the 6010
8010 Rod is a faster freezing rod it needs more manipulating to weld with. 6010 is a more liquid puddle the edges of the weld will be smoother
@@bartbley1269 so on 8010 you’d have to be faster
@@Royalewitchee Manipulate your rod more not necessarily faster . Get some plate run a cap on it with either rod in the vertical position running down hand . let the plate cool between each rod . You will see they burn different and look different . Arc length and rod angle are important
Toe nailing ,bad rod or flux to heavy on one side . Good video again Austin
Interesting. Very good to know.
Where do you get that pocket protector?
Amazon
If the orange guy was still president you’d still be welding on a pipeline, well if you wanted to anyway 😜
They're building the MVP pipeline again in Virginia.
Why don’t you pipeline anymore
Pipe is measured on the inside diameter. Tubing is measured outside. Not a big deal, but when you've done it one way for 50 years, it really naws on me when you say it backwards. Sorry
