- I just wat you guys to share the knowledge so you guys don't struggle like I did. {Maybe if my channel was more “appealing to the public” I'd be able to help more of you guys out and get the info out there for yall to use and learn from my mistakes. } EDITED* 🤝God bless yall and lets get ready for this next oil boom. Also don’t forget to watch Pt1 of this video in which I cut and prep up the saddle as well as tack it. Peace out guys and thanks for the support.
Another good video. Appreciate all the shots you did on this!!
Shout out my boy Marco for that. He used to be my helper back when we pipelined. Now we work together he’s a plant operator here. So he knows exactly what to record. Thanks to him this video was a bit better than the others. It’s hard to make quality videos when it’s yourself doing all of it. I appreciate you noticing the difference brother. Salute
Good fit
Well in the throat first suck it up A lot tighter so that’s a good move if you don’t like the gap me the gap wouldn’t bother me I like a pretty white cap anyway used 5/32 6010
Nice video. Where my welding journey began. On the pipeline. Brought back a lot of fun times to my mind. Then moved to structural steel. Now maintenance tech. Being the only one on my job to have ever been certified. Guess who gets the important welding jobs. Get up the good work
Good stuff man 💪
40yrs of tunnel pipe and im impressed with your work and attitude,,,,,,, work hard, play hard, stay hard!
🦾thank you sir
Stay hard💀
Dudes got a steady hand. Nice job
🫡
Awesome
Welding travels me around the world as a contractor
Keep it up
That’s awesome brother. Thanks for dropping by.
Nice weld young man, brings me back to the old school. Ivy Tech 86-87. I could almost smell the weld, nice. ✌️😎👍
Thanks for watching boss.
Just need 3 more months of welding school bro your videos help me a lot🤙🏽 keep working hard bro!
Thanks homie. That’s what this channel is for bro. To help the community out.
Nice looking weld young gun. Good technique, uniformity and showmanship.
Thanks boss man.
Not a welder,man.Been around it,I’m an electrician for 30 years.Your video popped up on my TH-cam feed,watched the whole damn video,extremely interesting.Keep up the good work,looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for watching brother. I appreciate your support man.
thank you for passing down some knowledge. keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching
Great video bro. I’ve been wanting to practice this exact test. Now I got some good pointers and a guide on what to do.
I’m glad it helped brother.
Great video bro ! , Pipeline welder here and still watch videos about welding In my spare time lol. Around the 13:15 mark you can see your ground arcing out , I always clean the slag so it can sit directly onto the metal it really messes with these newer machines especially the ones that are trying to sense the arc (pipe pros and the Mp from Lincoln ) Saludos

Puro Pinche Piliner!!!!! . I’m Native out of New Mexico and worked with a bunch of prim’s in West Texas. Good stuff slick
Thanks homie. I miss the life style 🙌 salute homie. Stay up out there on the patch
Eres Chingon my little brother have welded pipe in my 36 yes of structural steel your a master of your Craft keep it up Orale

Grande loco
Gracia carnal. Saludo
Pretty cool and great work brother!!!!
Thanks man
Was very useful great welding
Thanks Hubert. 🦾
Esta chido tu rollo bro!!! Me ayudo bastante tu video! Dios te bendiga 🙏🏽
Que bueno carnal. Me da mucho gusto. Saludos
Aprendiendo mucho de su institución de educación para soldadores, gracias por entregar en forma desinteresada sus conocimientos, saludos desde Arica Chile
Gracia carnal. Aprecio su apoyo. Saludos
Make sure y’all watch this in 4K.
Amazing. Ini baru mastrr weld. Good job brother 👍👍👍🤝 indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Hey bro that was a good video , i do alot of cutom fabrication work anything from tig mig or stick on heavier jobs . Grew up in it , i learned a few good pointers from you on that video next time on stick i will put it to use. Nice work man. And homeboy said grind rust in that situation your burning in , i agree with you i guess he didnt see the bevil you put on it
Thanks brother.
Nice weld bead brother take care later.✌️
@@jeffreyreano3814 thanks homie. 🤝
Looks great 👍👍👍👍👍👍💯
Thanks
Well I was fixing to give you a tip lol then you started doing it good job man
You want to give me the tip? Bro you gonna have to try a date first. You’re moving too fast.
Another damn good video I enjoyed watching.
Thanks brother. I appreciate you watching. 💪
Great job 👏
For any new guys @16:03 when he mentions a metabo blade usually that just means a cut off wheel.
Thank you
Nice video Bro! Keep up the good work!✊
✌️
Fire ass content!!! Barely started teaching myself but man.... Ain't none to some knowledge!!!
Thank you fire watching brother.
I am definitely not a pipe welder I've done a few small pipe fitting jobs and can make it look ok, I've never taken any kind of pipe test, and for some reason i was thinking the branch was supposed to tie in to the inside of the pipe which blew my freaking mind. I'm glad i was wrong about that. I don't know why i thought that lol it looks almost like an olet weld. Which makes more sense 😵💫
That’s exactly what the branch test qualifies you for. Damn O-lets. 😂😂😂
Another awesome video by the way boss.
@@botsbass842 thanks for watching budd
Slick welds man, I could use those tools you posted tho so I can burn rods on the miller
🫡🫡🫡 extra entry brother.
@@VantageWeldingmuch appreciated sir🤙🏽🙏🏽
Looks great for what ur working with....
Yeah. That pipe is pretty much junk trash. I rarely use carbon steel where I work at due to the corrosive environment.
Damn sight better than I could do👏
Lookin pretty good bud
Great angle
🤝
Undercut and cold lap. I see you welded uphill on parts of this branch. That’s a good way to bust a test.
Nope nope and nope. Try again 😂😂
I’ve literally been busted on a branch test for this. 🤷♂️
@weekendwarrior4271 😂😂😂😂
Great video. Thanks for the info! Can you share the calculations you used to lay out this branch? What are the 4 numbers?
Used a template bro. Didn’t lay this one out. You can watch the video. It’s the one I posted prior to this one. Thanks
@@VantageWelding thanks 👍
Great content!
Thank you sir
Good job brotha
Mga ganyang pipe gustong gusto hinangin nakaka injoy kasi mag welding
Good video bro you need to star a welding school 🙏🏻
Thanks brother. Perhaps soon brother. Thanks for watching.
I’ll probably start some 1 on 1 lessons on call soon brother.
@@VantageWelding let us know
Goood stufffff
Thank you sir
nice video sir.👏
Thank you friend
Wish i chose welding as a career path. I hate sitting in an office at a desk listening to patient complaints and keep a quality hospital. 10yrs nursing. Current quality control director. Blah. Boring stuff. My brother are all trades workers. They all weld like my dad. Me, office rat. Lol. Idk one thing about it. But, looks fun burning rods.
Very Good 😊
Thanks
Nice vid thx!
Hello brother
Hope you and your family are doing great.
Could you please tell me the model of your miller welding machine ?
Thanks for that comment buddy. The miller machine is a max star 210. One solid little unit.
Yes welding requires brains
Not really to be honest budd.
Yes sir throats first 👍🏻

A shortage of quality welders is actually great for all of us. Supply and demand big bro. we can demand better pay and better safety equipment.
"Demand better pay etc." Great theory Ol' Mate.
Good luck there.
I started getting formal welding lessons from 1971 onwards, and around 1980 I started to get some $ recognition for my abilities,.
The drilling and mining sectors are some of the few places that can afford to pay good welders something like the money that they should get payed.
I could really have a nice ol' rant here, but I'm pretty mellow these days.
My main point is, anyone who does a job well, should get paid well.
Oh, and another point, I appreciate your making these "no bullshit " videos.
The video quality is great, and you use everyday, easy to understand language.
Thanks for dropping by sir. I appreciate you watching.
You a beast bro I fk wit ur work especially the fabrication videos I be gettin tips from
I appreciate you bro. Fabrication is king bro. Like my boy hector said. Welding will get you a check. Reading a tape will keep you employed. That’s a quote to live by. Fabricating>>>
Learned a lot from this video bro , you think you can follow up with a 6010/7018 branch?
You’d probably won’t run into one of those unless you’re putting a bead in with 7016 bro.
Ik this video is old but I’m learning how to weld pipe I’m at the point where I can get a decent root they just come out a lil flat. On my tighter gaps I’m running it between 80-90 amps with 90 dig, hearing your say you had yours at 60 percent made me think is that why it’s coming out so flush should I have my DIG lower while staying in between those amps or keep my DIG high and turn my amps down?
Every machine is different brother. Remember under code, root needs to be just a bit over flush.
Are you supposed to bevel the riser all the way?I thought the throat only got a bevel and the ears only got a slight bevel?
Yes sir. Slight bevel. I beveled way too much but we still managed to make it work. Throats you need a steep bevel and ears not so much as the torch will do most of the work.
De lujo! Excelente video saludos @jay weldina
Quionda carnal. Muchas gracias 🫡
I don't know about you but that ground arcing out like that will have a big effect on the weld.
Yes sir. In a real life situation I don’t recommend a cheap ground like I had here. It was the only ground clamp I had as the other rotted out due to corrosion. I need to replace it. Thanks for your observation. 🙌🙌🙌. Thanks for watching budd.
@@VantageWelding your weld's looked pretty good with a small machine like that wish i was back out there welding stuff up again with my rig.
Hay un electrodo lo cual queda asi el cordon de soldadura AC-1 (6011) de buena calidad...el que la aplica tiene que tener buena habilidad en el pulso...lo comento por soy de familia de soldadore y conozco el rubro...se aplica, avance de arrastre retroceso y avance quedando la forma escamoso... muy lindo... un arte en seber aplicar este cordon...Saludos 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱.
Tienes razón colega. El 6011 es más común con soldadoras AC. Pero igual se puede soldar con DC. Saludos
With my 600 amp Hobart I weld that all out with 5/32.
Good weld brother 😍🔥👍🇮🇩
Thank you brother
정말 잘하시네요!👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing, wich shade do you use?
An 11 on my pancake hood and a 10 on the tiger hood brother
@@VantageWelding yow weld as close as I do, I use an electronic helmet and, I am having problems to get used to it. I think traditional shades are the best then. Thank you so much. Blessings
Can u use a weave pass on that 2nd hot pass with lower heat range?
Whatever works for you as long as you’re leaving clean deposita brother.
Chingon!!
Instead of using the 6010 1/8” rods as you said for tight spots on that hot pass…… use 1/8” 8010 pipeliner rods, they make em 🤷♂️……. Just sayin….. still wouldn’t suggest sayin anything to an inspector
They do brother. And you are very correct. That is a killer tip, thanks for your suggestions. My very first video on here was putting a root in with a 80101 rod lol
1/8” 🦾🦾🦾
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice cap man. Do you think it would of been possible to weld a third bead on the top of the cap using a 3/32” electrode? Could of possibly helped with the issues you had at you top toe of the 2 nd pass and got an nice transition into the top pipe? Or is an 1/8” electrode the minimum you can use on this procedure? Nice vid and nice work. Keep ‘em coming
To be honest I’ve never seen a 8010 3/32 rod bro. But no, most tests are 6010-1/8” for root and 5/32” 8010 all the way out.
😎👍
What kind of welding machine are you using?
Shop machine. Miller maxstar 210. Coming from an avid Lincoln user, I have to admit…. Miller welders are better.
Orale bro gracias
Top, gostei 👏👏
Gracias hermano.
What electrodes did you use..? I'm a welder too here in Philippines..
8010 Pipeliner brother
What size rod are you running and what amps because I keep just blowing a bigger and bigger keyhole on 6 inch schedule 40 for this.
Where are you blowing holes brother? Is it seamed pipe? What amps are you using?
I’m using 1/8” 6010 around 85-95 for root
8010 5/32” around 125-135 amps brother. But my pipe was a scd 80. Close to 375 wall. It’s a lot more forgiving on root and hot pass.
@@VantageWelding I was running 7018 at around 110 amps 1/8 then I dropped down to 3/32 but I had already down a root pass. It’s just a little project for the weld school I’m in nothing that needs to shoot but I’d like to do it right
@@brodyrhode9064 keep running them 3/32 brother. If you’re blowing though a saddle chances are it’s too thin, excessive grinding, or maybe too high of voltage and staying too long in one spot. 3/32 is king for a weld like that specially since your still in school brother. No need too rush into 1/8. Truth be told, out in the field you can run 3/32 just as fast as you can with 1/8” rod in smaller pipe. The rod size starts making a difference when you start to get into heavier wall and bigger pipe.
@@VantageWelding thanks for the tip bro. Couple more weeks of pipe and I’m out of here. Looking to get into some stainless tig got all my certs for it
@@VantageWelding what kind of motion do you do for uphill 7018 on this or would you only do downhill
👍👍
Yea don’t blame him for it lol.
I'm hoping there is going to be a welder shortage that means more money for the people that can weld lol
Nice job i aways enjoy welding it s not for everyone
You are right sir. Thanks for watching
Is a drone filming or a drinking buddy ?
Process engineer. Old helper of mine. We drink sometimes as well.
Any reason you can’t use 1/8 6010 on the hot pass? Would most branch test just have 6010 root and the rest HYP or 8010?
You have to follow weld procedure brother. I wish I knew the answer as to why you can’t. But I don’t. All I know is if you weld clean you will be 100% good
I never cared for this test, doesn't make sense that it is still used for 1104 test. Yet I only once did such a procedure, but it was temporary.
To top it off, the branch test only qualifies you to weld o-lets 😂
Sticks in my craw
Caracas que solda escrota !! Parabéns
eu não sei se isso é bom ou ruim, mas soa muito legal. obrigado 😂😂🙌
@@VantageWelding no brasil é bom elogio !!
Sua solda é muito boa !!! Muito boa mesmo parabéns !!
Knock some rust off that thing man save your ground wire one welder to a nother welds are sick keep up the good welding
Chingon
Gracias brothet
Al arrancar un nuevo electrodo DEBES hacerle "la cuchara", para que tenga una buena fusión entre un cordón y el otro. Lo haces con un disco de corte de 4' y 1/2 y una amoladora también de 4' y 1/2.
Perdón por corregirte.
🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾
No ay problema bro. Aquí aceptamos de todas criticas. Es un programa para desarrollarnos el uno al otro. Saludos 🫡
Lo único que no acepto y borro son los comentarios racistas. Que esos llegan todos los días 😂
Vertical
No it’s a saddle
Root I.d. to i.d. ??
Hu?
@@VantageWelding does the root penetrate ID to ID ?
Ahh. Yes sir. It has to. You have to catch both walls because your straps will be bent. If there is lock of fusion or incomplete penetration, they will break at the weakest point.
@@VantageWelding 10/4
En español sería buenos unos videos
Si intente primo, pero fíjese que a la raza no le gustan muchos mis videos. Así que mejor me dedique a puro inglés.
Плотнее должен быть шов, чешуйки на большом расстоянии друг от друга
Burn it up!!!
Still to much rust on the parent metal
Thanks TO you, for your TWO cents, TOO. 🫡
Unfortunately the whole pipeline thing is going to be a thing of the past
Do you drank the koolaid too hu budd. Let’s just wait till winter and discuss this topic again. Thanks for watching friend
@@VantageWelding i sure hope your right
You have a bad ground.
Yes sir.
Eh. Not too impressive.
Thanks for watching 👍
@@VantageWelding I was unimpressed at 5 minutes. So don't thank me with your sarcasm boy.
@@deetalashoma3514 sorry about that budd. Wasn’t trying to impress anyone. It’s just an educational channel open for the public to learn from our experience and mistakes. AGAIN!! Thanks for watching.
@@VantageWelding Yes, experience is the word.
I am a "Master Plate Welder", although I am not a machine. I spent around 28 years as a Welder. I appreciate your experience but in my experience I didn't do a lot of SMAW, or MIG welding. I worked in Aircraft/Aerospace. If you can TIG weld material .005 - .010 inches thick, you're hired. And TIG weld an aluminum can back together, again, you're hired. Now however, lasers do that easily.
One thing I didn't see was cleaning the weld where you left off, aren't those welds to be of X-Ray quality? Mine are, and sometimes we all fail X-Ray.
Keep on keeping on boy. 🤪👍
Thanks for watching 👍
Hey another good one . On the last cap did you have the electrode aiming more towards the top of the pipe & then let gravity build the weld up ?
Yeah bro. On the throats it was a simple pause whip puse. And on the ears where I needed a bit more metal I was pausing more up top. And doing kind of like a slight side ways j motion if that makes any sense.
