That guy is literally a living example of a national treasure. Too bad he works alone. He needs apprentices so he could pass that knowledge to future generations.
Thank you Steve Morris for such a great video.
50 years of work and is in a peaceful place in life.
😅😊oooo😊 of 9
Well he did train all the other guys in the country that can do copper welding, I’m sure he’s trained more than a few in different types of welding
Learned more about welding on Steve Morris Engines than on any of the welding channels on TH-cam
Thanks and wish I could have learned this before getting fed up and quitting all my jobs
He gives knowledge all the time, have worked with him multiple times..
I've been a welder for 38 years now and this guy's knowledge is gold. When he says you never stop learning he's 100% correct and I just learned a bunch today. Outstanding.
I started gas and stick when I was 10/11 mig at 14 and tig at 18. I'm 50 now and feel like it's the first time seeing a tig machine when I see him talk in videos.
Same thing man. What an awesome wealth of knowledge and experience.
@@ClimptonDiddlehopper
Well keep up the learning........Thermite next 👍👍
I started at 21
Stick (Gasless) level 1
Mig level 2 - 4
Mag135 2 - 4
Tig 2 - 4
Now 40 level5 Thermite (Railway)
Next is Deep Sea level 6 (Don't actually want!! due to Diving Bell fears)
Coded welder BSE standard
Steve, please help this guy get a channel. This content is amazing. What an incredible artisan.
Always learning has's been my moto too.
I'm may not be a welder, I've actually been a carpenter/cabinet maker for 25 years. In my time so far, the most problematic people have been the older guys that think they know everything. I've actually been prodded in the chest and told "I've been doing this 40 years, not to be told by you what to do" for them to then mess up right in front of me.
Technology and techniques have changed so much in my relatively short lifetime, only a fool thinks they know it all.
Been welding for over 45 years and this guy had me paying attention. He needs to be putting out far more information as he is a treasure of knowledge.
Oh yeah I was taking notes lol I learned a lot about aluminum in aerospace actually started with aluminum I remember way back my buddy saying a shortage was coming , I remember thinking how. I like this guy
I want to start welding aluminium too. Should i aim for a tig machine or one of them spools?
Depends on what your welding. A spool gun generally wont produce those beautiful uniform clean welds like a TIG . A used squarewave TIG is a easy starting point. @@snorttroll4379
If he ever quits welding he definetly has potential for a great podcast. Such a calm voice, could listen to this guy all day.
100%
I just hope I look half as good as him at that age, I would figured he was in his 50s maybe
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a welder his age look as healthy as he does!
@@technicaltyler6312 I wasn't even that but now that you mention that it seems even more impressif
As I was listening to him, I thought what a fantastic welding teacher he would be. Hell, I'll be his apprentice. And, we're the SAME AGE.😀
69 years old and still working 12 hour days. Can't imagine he does it because he has too. Just a true passion for welding. The reason he is the best.
yeah, his life is welding. Pretty shure the bank account dont need more money, just does it because he loves it and proud of his work, as he should be.
I tried taking a couple years off when i was 34 and it was lame, not working makes you feel worthless and you're afraid to spend money,. Best to find something you enjoy doing.
His shops across from mine. He’s the man. He does crazy work and doesn’t mind helping us weld up anything we need on our equipment
I might’ve missed it but where is he located? Inkster and Romulus are neighboring cities to mine
Plymouth
Learned more about TIG in one Steve M vid than I've learned in hours watching other vids.
It isn't just his knowledge, he's one of those rare, natural teachers who simplifies everything, keeping what he says to a minimum, while still conveying a full message.
People who teach, but don't have a total mastery of the subject waste lot of time & create confusion w/ less concise explanations.
Only met a handful of people like Chris in my life, but each time, the experience has created a desire to spend time in their presence, just to soak up knowledge.
Thanks for sharing your day w/ Chris w/ us; can hardly wait for him to visit you.
GeoD
He’s actually MIG welding
@@GardenGuy1943 Who is? Didn't see any MIG welding I'm familiar w/ being done... MIG involves automatic wire feed; pretty sure I saw welding rod in his hand. Also, nobody refers to the MIG gun as a torch, since it isn't.
TIG welding is analygous to gas welding, while MIG welding is more akin to stick welding.
@@GardenGuy1943yeah, no he's not. He's TiG welding.
When you listen to someone who Actually knows what there talking about makes it 100 times easier to grasp. Learned a ton on this video
@GardenGuy1943 No, he's not. He absolutely is TIG welding. TIG stands for Tungsten Inert Gas, T.I.G. He mentioned "Tungsten" is the electrode and "Helium" and "Argon," both of which are inert gases.
Watch the video again.
Not too often you find Steve at a loss for words but in this encounter he is so busy absorbing the knowledge he’s a little in awe.
Master welding class
"CAUTION You Might Learn Something" - This video was the perfect example of someone being mentored, and all that viewed benefitted. Kudos Steve
What an education from a world class master welder! Thanks Steve for bringing Chris's knowledge to us.
Lol, I'm betting Steve just found some "stuff" out......
I have been welding my entire adult life, 73 yrs old.
BY FAR the best video you have done!!!
I LOVE all your videos, but this one IS the best!!!!
THank you to you for posting and Chris, for his
willingness to share the knowledge!!!
This may be your best interview video ever. You actually let the guy talk and explain things his way. A good interviewer doesn't talk much.
This is the best video yet I do welding repairs myself and this guy is incredible with welding knowledge. I enjoy welding aluminum I use helium too it takes a 200 amp welder turns it into a 400 amp machine. Wish I had a good teacher like that to learn from....
You priced helium lately? Its $1000 a tank in Ohio 😮
@@ethanbruss26 Down here in FL helium for 330 cfh tank is $2 k + if you can get it. I've been using helium for balloons 30 lbs tanks for home owners.
Yeah kinda sad he works all by himself. Sad thing is he’s going to take a lot of knowledge to the grave with him. I rebuild stainless and aluminum semi tanker trailers. It’s really difficult to find individuals that can pick up repair work quickly rather than normal production welders.
This is cool
As a retired pipefitter I can tell you this guy is a true craftsman. Maybe even a magician. LOL! World's greatest shop teacher.
I’ve been watching TH-cam welding videos for years. This guy is at another level. It’s like watching a virtuoso musician. Absolutely feel like I’ve been brushed by greatness seeing this guy.
It would be amazing to see a video where they go over Steve's machine together and explain the setup process and run some tests together. What a wealth of knowledge Chris is.
That man is virtually irreplaceable with all of his knowledge. And he seems like a nice guy too.
Thank you for making this video, Steve.
Joe
That's the saddest part of him working alone.. No one is absorbing that knowledge on the daily
We were introduced to another "The Guy". Thanks Steve.
of all the shoes being made , engines being fixed , kittens being petted , this is by far the best video I've seen this year of any subject and educational
Quite a privilege to be able to document an ultramaster craftsman at his work. The quality of Chris's work was stunning, and it was really good photography to capture the details of it. But the knowledge Chris displayed was even more stunning, and obviously was the foundation of his skill.
This is the difference between a welder and someone who can lay a bead. Understanding every aspect of the process from start to finish before you strike an arc. I've been welding 28yrs and certified to weld mostly anything but copper, Never tried but now I want too. I've never had a days schooling but started working for a older welder when I was 14. He taught me a lot and owe him my career. Chris is that caliber of man as well. Thank you for teaching me more about the passion of loving what you do.
I learned to weld in a university-affiliated middle school - though they didn't call them that, back then - in the '60s. Basically stick, brazing, cutting, soldering, and some small-scale foundry work.
Nobody did mig - the machines were too huge and too expensive. Only the Government and large corporations could afford them as well as the footprint to keep them. Most of the large corporations did contract work for the Government.
I don't think there was such a thing as TIG, back in those days. Not that I know of, anyway.
I have welded for most of that time, up until the last 20 or so years. I can lay a decent bead, but what I know could fill a thimble. I'm still fascinated by it, and people who are really good at it.
This has got to be one of the greatest videos ever made on welding. It deserves an Emmy and a Oscar for best documentary!
Chris Razor is a national treasure. Thank you Steve for introducing him to those of us who did not know of him!
I was thinking the same thing. Thank you, Chris, for opening our eyes.
What an absolute incredible guy after 50 years he is still so patient and obviously loves the job, it’s rare now days I wish I had someone like this to mentor me through my job as a mechanic there are so many things that die with the person cause people don’t care anymore. Awesome video keen to see the next one, leaned something once again. 👍
I love watching someone who is an expert in their field doing their thing, and Chris is great at explaining things too.
People don't realize alot of our national treasures aren't wearing capes or on Tik Tok. They are guy like this in shops who have mastered their craft and are so good at it, it keeps the wheels turning for things like SpaceX,Nasa,Military, Etc Etc Etc. Guys like this are the ones kids should be looking up to. They are the backbone of our nation, unsung hero so to speak.
Steve, one thing I learned and I'm in my mid 60's. Never stop learning and be humble at all times. Chris has shown you and the rest of us some great information that wouldn't be taught in a classroom. Thanks, Steve
When this gentleman lays down his torch for the last time, the world will be a poorer place for it. What a genuinely skilled and knowledgeable craftsman he is.
Thanks for the video. It’s like having a cheat code!
Man's a master of his craft.
And his elocution is fantastic. He makes it incredibly easy to understand.
Truly hope he has an apprentice
From the discovery of helium in Kansas to Chris in his shop enlightening the world with the backstory on helium shortage is quite fascinating. The purity of the gas makes us think, garbage in, garbage out. Makes perfect sense when one knows the cause & effect. Without guidance, many of us are stuck in a cycle of keep doing the same. Notice how Chris didn't peen a single bead between passes? There's no benefit to peening AL between passes. This was an excellent video and we definitely learned a few things so thank you for sharing the trip!
Once helium is released into the atmosphere it floats away into space. That's why they have to keep producing it.
@@MrGlenferd That's common knowledge.
Steve.. Please send him an appentice to train, and a camera to document his life skills. Truly a national treasure
As a farm welder and production line welder this was the best info from a world leading specialists! Thank you Steve
This man is so good and you can tell he loves what he does and that's why he is the best at his craft. I went to welding school and thank goodness I had a very good caring teacher and always thankful for the extra time he spent teaching me. This man is a master welder and a very kind hearted man . Thanks for letting us see this .
When Steve keeps trying to figure out in a round about way what's in his secret blend of gas 🤣 That guy is pretty awesome!!
Probably just a custom helium blend to get more heat.
Nothing secret about it, helium mixes are extremely common, and necessary when welding thick aluminum. A high helium mix for example, will make a 200amp machine weld like a 300amp machine simply because helium's thermal conductivity is much higher than argon's.
The same can be done using Hydrogen to increase the arc energy efficiency to weld austenitic stainless.
Well worth the visit and interview with Chris the Actual Master welding technician, thank you Chris and Steve!
This has to be the greatest welding video of all time. You have a man in Chris Razor with massive experience on the tools just quietly take you through it. As a non - US person, I see Chris as one of the archetypical American "doers" like a Henry Ford. He is so understated but clearly has so much knowledge. No wonder people beat a path to his door. I would! Steve thank you for showcasing Chris - I just sat there gobsmacked!
That man is a living legend in the welding world, people will talk about him a long time after he is gone. Awesome dude right there, a true master of his craft!
Chris is awesome! What a superb example of a human being who knows his trade so well!
Very interesting post Steve-the helium story was fascinating-no need to go to college kids-get a trade-work hard-succeed…
What a great Video Steve, holy crap...50 years of welding, the guy is an absolute genius....loved this video
I'm only 10 minutes in and this is one of the best videos I've seen.
Can always count on Steve to give us the best content!!!
I really love that this channel maintains an educational aspect to everything.
Ive welded on and off all my life with various equipment and processes. Learned more in an hour than the last 5 years about it. What an honor it would be to be this man’s successor and just learn all he wants to teach.
Awesome video Steve. Love this kind of video where I’m learning and following along. Now to go burn something.
5 mins in This BLOKE is a legend at 69 years young, looks like he has another 50 years to be honest. And his morals OMG
no mistakes, cleanest shop, Come Down Under buddy, we need good Welders too lol
Thanks for sharing this bloke Steve !
The copper welding blows my mind . I've heard there was one guy who could and ........bam here he is on Steve's channel . Insanely cool
Razor has been doing my work for years. He is the absolute best welder I have ever seen bar none.
That was an incredible video ! I recently retired from a 30 year career in mechanical maintenance at a Nuclear power plant here in Ontario ( largest operating site in the world) , and I can totally relate to all the information on this video. Really looking forward to Chris taking a look at your machine and settings. Many thanks Steve and Chris.
You are right Steve--we did learn some stuff today--thanks !!
I could watch and listen to this welder for hours. Ive already learned so much. I would definitely sign up and pay for a day of learning with him
I’m a pipe welder, watch how he adds rod constantly feeding rod and satisfying that puddle. Very impressive. Also the way he adds all the way around his arc! Crazy!
I like to constantly feed my rod and satisfy my puddle also... 😜
Thanks Mr. Chris for sharing your knowledge, you are a true gentleman!
Since he came to you, you need to spend more time at his place to be an apprentice to him. Knowledge is power!! You’re the chosen one for sure.
The amount of knowledge packed into this video is amazing.
See kids this man is proof that you don’t need an expensive piece of paper that says you can do something! Self taught, if you have the drive, a willingness to learn, soak up every piece of information you can, and practice you can be anything or do anything you set your mind to! This man is an absolute inspiration!
But he works 12 hours a day. Say goodbye to family life, or any life outside of work.
@@hylomane Shit I worked at a steel mill before it was closed making low 6 figures working 12’s and still had plenty of time for my family to go on vacation and have a life outside of work. I’m working a 9 to 5 and have less time with my family can’t take a vacation have missed multiple holidays with my family this past year so don’t give me that song and dance. There’s also plenty of trades out there that you make a damn good living, have plenty of time off work and still make more than if you had a college degree. Some of yall just lazy or too soft to do physical work.
I've been welding for 40 years, tig for about 20, I watch a lot of you tube (all sorts of stuff) but this is the first time in a long while I've watched and listened to every bit. Captivating, thanks !
Steve, awesome video!! I teach welding at a local high school, I can’t wait to show my students this video! I appreciate the lack of swearing so I can use it in an academic setting. Please continue with the great content. Thanks again for the hard work!
There are going to be a lot of welders at work tomorrow trying something new. 😂
One of my favorite videos.... I am a "backyard welder"..lol, so I don't understand hardly any of what Chris does and how he does it, but it is awesome and refreshing to see that there are still masters in trade out there that can out-talent machines and billion dollar companies that can buy talent and resources, with his knowledge and experience. Well done sir 👏
This man is absolutely amazing!!! A walking encyclopedia of practical knowledge and skills that are beyond my comprehension. 😁😁😁I'm starting to apply for a visa to see his work live! I can't understand how you can do such great work and share your knowledge so openly. It is wonderful. Greetings from Poland and I wish you to start a YT channel.
WELDING now that was a video I have always used small cups and a WP-20 torch but today people are using all kinds of different stuff and you don't really know what's right anymore. Nice to know my setup is fine what I did learn is it is time for a new welder. I had looked at invertors but did not know what I wanted until today. Thank you
The only time those big cups are really needed is doing titanium work.
keep that in mind, I am a 4130/308 kinda guy@@TNels
@@TNels I find them useful for thin ss, too. For aluminum, I like the Furick #5 pyrex, but a plain old #5 ceramic is just as good.
That guy can weld a broken 💔 or a crack of dawn. WoW !!!
This is my first time watching this channel!
I’ve known a bunch of dumb welder, known a few artist welders. I’m always impressed when someone uses their skills for beautiful work and shares the knowledge
Thanks for the lesson
Of all the videos I’ve seen on Steves channel and taken information away from I have to say that I’ve learned the most from this one and I’ve watched a LOT of tig welding informational videos on TH-cam over the years. Absolutely awesome learning experience.
Oh man the knowledge is amazing, I'm a guy who in the early 70's built custom exhaust systems and headers with only Ark and Oxy acetylene and lost everything welding ever since becoming a semi driver, this is amazing watching and listening to two geniuses coming together in showing. and explaining all of this, Thanks STEVE MORRIS you are the man!!!!!✌
I’m at a loss for words! I can remember way back when I started welding. I had the opportunity to watch and learn from an old salt. He said the same thing. You learn everyday!
I am 19 years old machinist and i love my job as my teacher and friend used to tell me "When you love your job its not your job its your hobby" amazing guy with decades of knowledge that really made me appreciate all the older and more skilled guys
This guy is an absolute legend. What a wealth of knowledge and more than happy to share his info! Could watch him all day
WOW..! A Welder on You Tube With More Experience Than Me..! ( I'm 61, burning since I was 14 ) EXCELLENT EPISODE...!! 👏👏👏
As the old saying go's " You can't buy experience " Very humble bloke.
One of the best videos you ever made. This is so interesting.❤
What an absolute wealth of welding knowledge. Thanks for videoing this process and the secrets he is willing to share. Sounds like he is plenty busy. Thanks again, Steve and Chris
I'm not even remotely close to be even called an amateur at welding, but Chris's whole aura regarding welding is so captivating.
He should do an autobiography in audiobook format, of course narrating it.
I would buy that in a heartbeat and listen to it on repeat.
Thank you Steve for sharing this gem of a video with us.
👍👍👍 Three thumbs up. Truly one of your finest instructional videos ever. I learned “ farmer” welding yrs ago. Everything is strong but looks like a bulls ass sewed up with a grapevine. Over the yrs I’ve perfected my skills considerably. But three minutes of watching the maestro Chris quickly shows a fellow that you don’t know sheite. What an encyclopedia of useful knowledge. Hope he finds time to pay a visit to your facility.
Love the Content. This incredible gentleman welder, is like the Steve Morris of welding! Content like this is truly inspirational.....ive always felt that one of the most amazing things you can do...is bestow genuine inspiration in the people who watch you!
Having that knowledge is awesome! I’m a beginner/hobbyist. I bought some 3” J bends and practiced until I could make my own downpipe on my turbo kit for my daily driver.
Sucks making a downpipe, doesn't it?
Fascinating!!! Thanks for bringing us along with you to see this master craftsmen work and talk about his love for the trade.
Did anyone notice that there was no white froth from the cleaning action??? With the helium.
I definitely learned something today, I have welded in toolrooms for 20 years as part my Moldmaking trade. Excellent!
I was a "nobody" alcohol racer & Chris welded up my titanium shield for the cage on my dragster. I have never met a nicer guy & was honored that he would stoop to help me. He also welded up my main tubes on the front end after an accident, & the vanes in my Jimmy Paquet torque converter for the Lenco Drive. What a master!! Never forgot you Chris. Thank You!
Awesome video Steve… MANY THANKS to both you and Chris for sharing!
Fun Fact:
Helium is the second most abundant element in the universe.
The price is based on who controls it not it’s rarity.
Yes but when released into the atmosphere it floats away into space.
You could tell the way he jumped on that first arc this guy is a machine!!! Amazing man, thanks for sharing Steve.
That got me too.
"Wel let's get this.....
........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
😁
What a cool guy Chris is!! So knowledgeable, but also very humble!! Thank you for doing a video on him.
This video was something else.
Such great lesson.
As someone starting with TIG welding, I can't wait for his visit and tips on the machine setup.
A living legend! I wish I was in a position to offer an internship to Chris for free and I'm 60! Great video Steve as always. Thank you
I am no SME for welding but dang! It’s clear to see that Chris is obviously at the pinnacle of welding technology. Lord have mercy. Inspirational as well. Work hard! Stay active! Keep learning! The world is your oyster.
Myself I have retired after 44 years of welding it's nice to see somebody out there that actually knows what they're doing.
Been welding most of my working life. I learned something today, could listen to Chris for hours. Excellent teacher and so full of knowledge.
Thanks for bringing us along to see this Steve! I hope this inspires a young guy want to run down this road for a living. I could watch him weld all day.
It would be cool to see an interview of Chris telling his origin story. Maybe there's one out there, but can't watch it until I'm done with this one.
What an awsome trainer! Thanks for bringing him up, I cought more in this flick than on a dedicated welding channel.
I very much like his calm, don´t panic way- it speaks to me. Amazing how far welders have come. From simple copper wind transformers to fluxcompensators...
Have a happy new Year Y´all!
What an incredible person. Such a wealth of knowledge. I've been welding for 22 years and definitely learned a thing or two
Man, learn more listening to this guy for 20 min than the last 10 years. Thanks Steve. Quality and knowledge as always!!!
what a nice smart person. now that is what our human species should be all about. good work !
I am amazed at this man’s knowledge being self taught . I had always used stick welding but now I can weld most metals . I did a Tafe course to get a ticket in stick and the instructor watched me lay beads and said to me “ you are a natural welder “
I missed this 5 months ago but just came back after the latest video on mullets old engine where Steve mentioned it - thank you Steve, so much to learn!!!
So cool to see experts in their field continue to learn.
Guy is gettin after it welding! Moves fast!
Wow, that is incredible stuff! Thanks for sharing this with us Steve!
I stumbled on this channel and Im not a motor head, but I am a Jack of everything. This video was amazing, and I learned a bunch. Chris is a wealth of knowledge, and self taught genius. Best video I have seen in a long time.
