As an instructor who is covering this material you did a wonderful job. Sent the video to some of my students struggling. Appreciate the feathering mentioned, because it is the most important part for new hands to do. Slows them down and helps the tie in. Keep up the great and informative video.
I learned a lot from this channel 10 years ago and ya’ll just come on a little too strong. Relax a bit, learning how to weld is not a race. It’s a marathon.
Im the !diot tht Started Out on 240v & 1/8 rods for EveRything..... (While wearing shorts & Sandals & No Glooves...) & Yes i Got BuZZed & BurnT a Few Times.! Ruined lots of Sock's.! lol -I was thinking i didn't wanna Not Be Able to Weld Something/Anything... But come to find Out, most of the thing's im welding is fairly thin Steel... So i was Burning Holes Like cRazy.... And Still Am Often...... moRe poweR......haaa
I am taking my test in the 19th of April and we only got two days to practice for each position, I think I’ll be fine with the flat and Horizontal but the vertical and overhead is giving me a difficult time. It’s a difficult test
Learn how to work the rods and understand where you are putting the heat. Stick welding is an art form with just over 30 years as a Boilermaker welder I love stick welding in any position pipe welding is my favourite for sure. 🇦🇺👨🏭

Very helpful information….but say you are an amateur with just a buzz box with say 6011…are there any tips for balancing all those variables when you have bigger gaps in power?
Learn your machine and pay very close attention to joint preparation. Since you have large amperage gaps, you'll have to adjust your joint prep to fit your machine's capabilities. Once you start welding, the only thing you'll be able to adjust your rod manipulations.
Fantastic job. Even with a video, the added character makes it a lot easier for beginners to feel comfortable taking in what you have to teach. Also we need a return of Bob video!
You've gotten used to welding against gravity. Now that gravity is helping you are just (probably) welding to slow for flat. Turn your settings down to compensate for that. I know I suck at explaining. I can't think of an example to help. But think about the difference of welding uphill compared to downhill. 1 goes against gravity and the other goes with gravity
I'm having trouble with starting the root. Am I supposed to start off the tack, long arc, and then push rod down right next to the tack to create the keyhole? When I do that my rod snuffs out. Is this the correct starting technique? Do I just have to adjust how long I hover longer to warmup? My amperage is 80 or so with a 3/32 gap and land. I find that by just adjusting the amps, I need 100 to not stick, but itll just blow a hole after a cm of welding.
My Actual Welds are Pretty $hitty....... I feel lucky that i can even sEE the Puddle at Times... I blame it on my 1 shade Non Auto Helmet... So i got a 10 instead of an 11, and also added a cheater glass which i find is great Btw... But sTill, i don't see $hit till i Strike the Arc... And the lil time between seeing with ur eye's, to flipping down the visor or hood, i end up not striking exactly where i wanted because am moving or something... -I did buy a $70 auto helmet at 1st, but the damn thing never worked right from day 1, i never even got to use it for welding, so i smashed it & bought a cheap 1 shade pipeliner Helmet..... (And No they Wouldn't Return.! They Only Said-Sry to Hear That... 3rd Party on Amaz)
Im currently in trade school and this video has helped me more than my instructors have in the 4 months I have been in school.
Very good teacher. Informative and fun 💪🏾💯💯💯
Thank you! Means a lot 😊
You ate teaching the root pass just as my instructor taught me 25 years ago!!
I learned in '98 too
Ain’t much changed!

Will do!
Best tutorial one 6010 open root on TH-cam
Wow thanks! I’ll put that on my resume now 😊

How would you do it?
Where's he "coming on too strong"? That's ridiculous. He's simply stating the correct way of doing things. He's helped me as an instructor immensely.
Not act like a nut for starters.
You're a good teacher 💯
Thank you!
Good stuff right there. Fun, informative, and factual
Thanks! Means alot
This was very informative for me. I didnt understand keyhole but I do now, thx to you!
Thank you for the thorough explanation.
You’re welcome!

You make it look so easy, I've been going to school for almost half a year for it and I still can't get my roots right. Always burn through.

It’s a difficult test
That was an excellent video- you did a very nice job of explaining, really, how to weld with 6010 overall.

Can you demonstrate 5 passes on a horizontal schedule 40 pipe weld please ?
I have this video done inside the weld app!

As an underwater bather, I want to know how much he gets paid.
I’m struggling in school, I need help
Is 6010 root harder on flat? I don't have an issue with overhead or vert. Flat is not being friendly.

replace your fire alarm battery!
Lol that’s the sound of the banners. Now I can’t un hear it 😅
Does 6011 work for open root as well?
Excellent advice
Yes! The video I’ve been waiting for 🙌🙌

Ur gonna have to bite the bullet n buy a nice auto shade helmet, it will change your game. Good luck
How much current do you want?
Me : Yes
Awesome stuff. Thank you for your time
That’s very good info Thanks
Great teaching by example.
bud... there is no getting a new plate, fix the hole.
You can't fix some 😮
I'm 45years old, is my age too late to learn stick welding and make a career out of it?
@@kyzercampos3658 your not too old. It might just be a little more painful. 😎
Excellent explanation nad video
This is a awesome channel 🔥
Great video guys
Don’t think your allowed a to grind anything unless it’s a wire wheel for the test, at least in Canada.
Great vid
Thanks! And yeah it varies company to company in the states.
very good
