Love your videos. At 74 years old, I have learned so much in the TIG arena from your presentations. But dude, every time you say "oxidization" I cringe! with respect, the word is "oxidation." Thank you for your videos!
The man is a freaking Neurosurgeon! The patience and control is so next level, 10s of 1000s of hours leading up to awesomeness.
Thanks so much man! I appreciate you watching!🙏🙏🙏
I am a local n.van based tig welder. I never made the leap to artistic welding until I watched this. Very inspiring! I am lucky enough to have the skillset already. I am excited to go draw some patterns out and try some art welding. Very cool! Thank's for the inspiration.
I’ve been working with metal for 23 yrs and I get so excited when I learn new things. I just found your channel and I can’t wait to watch more. Thank you.
Thank you for watching! I appreciate it a lot 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks man. My background is in structural welding so some of these techniques are a no no in my field but always wondered how you guys in the artsy field got those colors. It's dope!
Dude that is sick! I’ve been tig welding ally for years but would love to get back to stainless. You’ve got super sweet welds
You are a monster my friend! The best tutorial I’ve seen in a decade. Thanks for your generosity, sharing all these great tricks.
Thanks for watching! Check out my latest episode HERE🔥🔥th-cam.com/video/FpaDdDRMeyc/w-d-xo.html
I learned a lot watching dabswellington on the gram on how to get colors as well by the way he moves his torch on post flow. It’s pretty crazy how something in one industry is frowned on and is super cool in another. Cool video dude!
Pretty cool hey? You could do the same weld 100 times and probably never get the same colours. All totally random, makes the art pieces even more special for how unique they are. Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for checking out the vid!🍻
From a beginner experience, my first machine was manual and second was electronic, If i were a teacher id have my students aim for a manual machine first machine. I’ve had my automatic (one dial) machine for little while know and i can get by because my first manual (8 dials) machine. Changing settings in the middle of a weld was sooo helpful compared too doing all that with a single dial. The difference in using a single dial for your weld settings compared to an allocated single dial is nigh and day..one is a conscious the other being subconscious, obviously the subconscious being the multi dial.
i watched many videos, but i would say starting with a manual machine gave me the most understanding welding.
Very interesting with the travel speed and torch angle, definitely something for me to practice, keep up the top work dusty 😁👊
Like I said, you can do a lot with basic settings, change a few variables with technique and you can create some magic! 🍻
Another awesome video Dusty. It's great that you have so much fun doing these videos.
Love the positivity, keep it up.
I appreciate the heck out of you my bro!
Trying to tig an exhaust pipe. Good video before I start. Thanks!
Awesome! Happy you enjoyed! Have fun!💪💪
Keep the tip of your filler rod under the post flow also to stop the end oxidizing then you'll have a clean start to the next weld without snipping the end off
Man, you are... amazing! you know tricks like nobody knows, even professional welders they didn't know this! Congratulations for video, you really are... AWESOME! Respect for your passion, for your time wasting for this video! You make people to learn some weld secrets!
man, finding your videos has been awesome! Just picked up a 3-1 and got a tig torch in my hand for the first time! Local victoria boy also, well east sooke, but still... keep it up, cheers!
Love your vids Dusty!! Surprised nobody picked up on that plate vibrating as she heated up, lol! First time it happened to me I thought something was majorly wrong, lol. Great explanations on everything dude!! Rock on!
Haha right!? I actually planted my pinky finger on it with my filler hand to make it shut up 😂
In the future i want to do art with this so its really helpfull
I am starting welding school in a month
When I weld, what I’m doing looks almost exactly the same, my results however, do not haha
Heat and gas levels? The right setup?
thanks for all you do to teach us!
Thanks Dusty...those of us with DC tig only rigs like the steel vids...
nice info. Hope you’re well brother.
Marc awesome! Happy to get these episodes out! Another one next week too!
saving up for a everlast tig machine now to start learning. been watching your videos lately. Amazing work.
Me too. Definitely aiming for an Everlast
Might want to look at the primeweld225x. Had my eyes on these. They are decent and come with ck worldwide torch.

A good weld is a thing of beauty. Don't know why I've never welded
I'm going to start soon as I've always admired tig welds and quality work on automotive stuff
Very informative, I will definitely give this a go.
I do hope that you will make a art piece like the shirt you were wearing.
Ha thanks! I love that shirt! It’s like 15 years old for me now and I still love it! I am actually making some art like that so perhaps I’ll share! Cheers my friend 🤙
You are now my favorite welder! :)
Just noticed that you leave the filler right next to the cup as it's post flowing to keep the filler clean. Good tip untold!
Thanks! Very informative and beautiful work -
Beautiful art bro!!
I just watched this video about TIG welding I just want to say thank you I've got it not oxidize anymore
dusty !! please please do a piece as per the skull art on your tshirt ! colours galore !
Great video and thanks for sharing your tips and tricks 👍🏼
Jonathan absolutely. Happy to share🤙
Another amazing video Dusty! Thankyou for all your hard work man fr fr!
Yeah absolutely! Glad you enjoyed! Cheers my friend!
Fantastic work!
Thanks so much for watching 🙏
Great demo . Thanks Larry Moore
Larry thank you!🙏
i accidentally made the perfect weld in class and fell in love with welding
Best regards from Poland. Nice tips!
LOL. Your large heat effected zone is a joke. I can get one 5 times that size and as a bonus I can make that weld so grey, you've never seen grey like it.
I've watched I think every video on youtube to fix the problem and used up all of the stainless for my project, just practicing. So expensive and so frustrating just to see you effortlessly lay down such beautiful welds. Uggghh, but thanks for posting. At least I know it CAN be done.
Very nice Tutorials.. thanks for the info
Absolutely! Happy to share🙏
Thank you for the demonstration!
Absolutely Eduard! Happy to do so:)
Damn man! Just heard my name! Lol :) cant believe I missed that 1st go, must've got a phone call then rolled in driveway or something. My homie 😎
Haha all good bro. 🍻🍻🍻
I like your video, u are very creative n very interesting n we learned lot of new thinks.
you should setup the machine and hoses over head on a sliding track . rollers mounted in a track with your hoses inside a plastic flex to prevent kinking . make the last 2m of hose easily reach your bench height . this way there’s no hose in the way and it’s suspended so as if the hose falls it doesn’t smash on the floor ! further more mount the track onto a boom hinged at the wall so it covers all the work area . believe me once you have a boom holding the hoses up you will never go back to dragging hoses around the floor !
You do some awesome work
Lol welds look great to me! Trying to figure out what’s up with my problem of extreme oxidizing right now. I with a stubby gas lense and #8 cup I need the gas set to around 50 cfh to not have the grey. Going to check a couple of things but it seems like either i have a bad gauge, a leak somewhere, atmosphere entering somewhere or maybe an improper set up. Tungsten was out just under 1/2” and moving it in Didn’t seem to make much difference. Going to have to do some diagnosing.
Awesome info. Couple questions. What is the typical gauge thickness of your art pieces, and do you use any type of heat sink to prevent warping?
First timee!! Loving it
cool tips mate, gracias!!!
Hi Dusty, thank for the valuable Video.. Now I got the point how to do it... stay safe bro :-)
use your filler rod to disturb the puddle tail . makes a spike effect .
Very informative, thank you!!
Your videos are so informative can you upload video about micro tig welding please?
Just a bit of feedback, it would be really helpful to see what your machine is doing (foot pedal control) if you could add a picture in picture so we could see this as well. I'm guessing you didn't hammer the pedal to the floor through the whole thing. That bit of finesse is huge in the outcome.
What's the bike dude? Front tire tease. Show the rest! Awesome vids BTW. Been welding a long time and cool to learn some new stuff.
Great video man!
Thanks! I appreciate you watching!🙏
You are thebest mester tig
Great video dude!I am curious though,you prefer the green tungsten so that would be pure then correct? I love those for aluminum.Gotten great results on stainless with purple,red,&black.Keep up the great work!
Marty! Thanks for the question dude! The LayZr tungstens are actually listed as ‘chartreuse’ (has to google what colour that meant😂) actually could be avocado as well...? I find them to snap up the arc so easy, and thus lasting longer with use on some big pieces I’m doing. (Releasing that vid next week hopefully...the biggest one yet) So my bad on not being clear, green-pure, chartreuse-stainless 😂 Cheers brother 🤙🍻
I love it looks amazing very dmt ish
Sup dude I find out my furick #8 helps a lot for my colors, but it all depends on my travel speed :) the colors of my bead, but all are awesome !cheers mang !! happy Canada daY DUUUDE ! 2021 in the fliping pandemic HAHAH !!
Good afternoon My name is Mike I'm a Certified Tig Welder out of Houston Texas. I'm wondering why my welds seem to have cracks between my base metal and my filler metal. I'm thinking it's the alloys in the metals. What would be your opinion.
Very helpful and interesting video, but, please, can you make a more detailed one including machine settings, depending on material thickness and stuff like that. I'm a total newbie, I saw a ton of helpful videos with lots of helpfull and useful tips. I am busting my butt to respect all of the rules and never seem to come up with a decent looking weld not even on mild steel, not to mention stainless.
I saw you using small cups and not having the slightest problem in coming up with amazing looking and colorful beads, meanwhile I struggle with much larger cups and gas lens and I'm still not even close to decent, not to mention good looking.
Us noobs would appreciate very much a total novice dedicated tutorial video. Covering the right steps to take learning and trying to become better velders, basically how to keep going with the high level of frustration that being a novice TIG welder implies.
I know this is a very long comment, thanks a lot for doing these amazing vids, keep up the good work!
first time i see someone using green rod on DCEN, i use to see them on AC machines
Hi Dusty. I was hoping you would make this video. Have been struggling to get good and consistent colors for art pieces. I thought I was doing everything right but now think the gas was set too high, 25 - 30 CFH. I have been practicing at the local tech school which has amazing machines and gas supplies so tend to set it high. Will be in class tomorrow night and will experiment with lower settings.
Awesome! Hopefully a few tweaks will make those adjustments and you can lay some colours down:) Let me know how it goes!🍻
@@PacificArcTigWelding Dusty, it turns out I was using too large a cup. Put on a #7 and got wonderful colors. Seems backwards but guessing larger cups need a lot more gas. Thanks again for your wonderful videos. I even share some with my instructors at school.
Andy
Awesome Andy! Glad you got some oohs and aahs! That’s such a great feeling:) and you’re right. A bit more gas tends to help with bigger cups. A 7-8 can do no wrong💪💪💪
I only worry about one color, green. Get it done and get paid.
Haha nice💰💰 Go get it man💪💪💪
Hey can you do a vid on how to prep dirty cast aluminium nd troubleshooting it never seems to work for me please include settings
Thanks for the suggestion jack! Cheers:)
I'd like to see a video on this as well
And me, but on new castings.
The surface colour is determined by the thickness of the oxide coating, which is rransparent, but with a thickness so close to the wavelength of visible light that it diffracts and interferes with it. This is true also of titanium. Some birds and butterflies have surfaces that diffract light in the same way. Thanks for this vid, BTW. Do you think it's possible to achieve a perfect weld of almost any colour on 1.5 to 3 mm stainless steel sheet?
Hi dusty . Is it possible to achieve similar effect on mild steel .
Do you clearcoat your art? Because to my knowledge the oxydized areas of stainless will rust much like low/non alloy steel.
This really helped
How does the weld integrity, tie in, heat affect zone and weld itself compare as color is obtained should they receive a coupon bend test.
great video!
Watching this again - curious why you selected the filler you did. Any difference in color rendition using a different wire?
Thanks brother!
Hey Marc! No, unfortunately the colours (oxide) tend to form one way or another. Maybe some slight differences with alloys and temperatures one way or the other, but pretty standard. Plus, all I had was that rod in my studio 😂
Ha! That’s exactly why I’m using 308l 😎
Happy Thanksgiving (belatedly for you Canada types I guess 🍁)
try using oils on the metal surface . very small amount of oil such as auto trans oil rub it into the work area . the slightest residue makes rainbow colours on the surface weld .
Great video, was wondering on gas type? 100% argon?
Will the colours of the welds last? Or will they eventually fade 🤔
That type of oxidation is protective yes? The kind that doesn't corrode or come off without some elbow grease?
Sick vid bro! My welds are ashy. Hahah
It’s a tough thing to dial in. Keep at it! The shine is worth it💪💪💪
Ashy Larry would be proud.
Can I clear coat to protect the coloring?
So heres something I'm confused about, when I'm trying to get colorful Welds I usually have to take the gas off of the welds within 1 or 2 seconds of it not glowing red-hot anymore. if I keep the gas covered on the weld any longer than that will just be shiny silver or maybe gold and I don't get any colors but when I remove the gas prematurely I always get pops of purple and red and blue which directly contradicts what you say, to keep the gas on for 5-7 seconds after it stops glowing. What am I going wrong? Is it not enough heat? Are my weld just not staying hot long enough?
I have ck torch flex head but my cup insulator is too big for the gas lens and glass cup. I’ve tried ordering 17 style insulators but they’re too small for my torch. Owners manual for the welder I bought said it came with 17 style torch. Any idea?
Why do I get black carbon when welding aluminum?
Can you preheat the plate? You got the colors after the plate was warm, what if you put it in the oven or used like a heat gun before welding?
Por favor permite al vídeo que haga traducción a español , gracias
My question is do you have to use stainless or can you use carbon as well
Hi
What thickness and what type of stainless works best for artwork?
What is the diferent between 'up slope' and 'down slope'? Tq...
that's for using lift arc
Is there any difference between using a fancy #12 cup to a standard pink ceramic style cup? I work with purging stainless tube and find it very hard to get colour with full penatration even when using a #12 ceramic, are the other style cups better for that?
do you dip the filler in or swipe across the front of the arc
so by using different sized cups you get different colors? or the speed of the weld?
I’m using an Eastwood TIG200 and I cannot get any color in my welds even after trying these tips, no matter what my amperage is, high or lower than it should be my welds still come out colorless. I’ve played with amperage/travel speed ALOT and still can’t get it, also I cranked the gas flow up to 40 with a Pyrex cup and still the same result, I’ve played with the clearance effect also. Whats perplexing is the same settings in AC does perfect absolutely no contamination, just to preface that I do use a different grinder when switching between ac/dc so it can’t be cross-contaminated. Anyone have any ideas? I’ll take any at this point I just want to make my turbo manifold already lmao
I was always told color change is bad and a automatic fail when doing tig. Or at least on titanium
Is this metal plate not bending due to the heat ? .
hi , can you add the link of the torch please?
Would pre hearing the material affect anything?
Maybe. Easier just to mess with it by hand- it overheats so fast...! Just send it 💪💪💪
Do you have to have to foot pedal to get results like this?
Nope! Just a more meticulous setup with upslope and downslope to get it dialled with timing your gas:)
@@PacificArcTigWelding nice! thanks for taking time to respond. Dig your work by the way, it’s beautiful man! Glad I found your channel and Instagram account! Keep up the awesome work!
So let’s say my job requires sanitary welding (dairy product) I’m assuming the science behind it, is that I can’t really do colors because I have to displace all oxygen no? I would love to make weld art but if my job requires something that will nullify I would have to find a way to do this on my own, thank you!
Interpass temperature plays into this as well unless you let it cool completely
Do you ever weld any titanium for your art? It seems to have consistent coloring from what I can tell
Yo I didn't know you were into BMX what do you ride?

I did a basic tig welding course back in 2019 for my job, made a little piramid shape as a practice. The teacher did 3 welds and i did the others. The teachers welds are gold like color and mine are grey. This with the same settings and gas flow..Still don't know what i did wrong..Probably going too slow.
too slow and too much heat into the metal i believe. i just started tig welding literally last week for welding school but within the first few welds they went from grey to a really nice salmon/rainbow color
