I swear to God these videos are a lifeline. I may not understand that class what's going on but I can replay this video a 1000 times for slow people such as myself. I understand you better than my welding teacher
Perfect timing. We're going over blueprinting at my college for the welders cert. Our blueprinting teacher is hard to follow and this took him 6 1/2 hours to explain. This, this is far better and detailed. Thank you!
I saw part one yesterday and today we went over them at school. Lots of people didn't really understand them but i sure did. And tomorrow we have a test. Thanks for the videos.
I applied to a welding apprenticeship at a local (But major) welding company, and got my second round of group interviews including a test on weld symbols. This is seriously helping me out with studying!
I have a weld test tomorrow involving structural steel since I found out about this weld test last Saturday I have watched all three videos countless times and have taken 10 pages of notes these videos have help very much for preparing me for this test thank you so much ps great instructor skills you made it very simple to learn
I'm learning welding symbols for the engineering side of things. It's really nice knowing how the guys reading the plans think and how they see everything. Much more informative than a technical book. Thanks!
Thank you sir for all you have done in your days as a Marine, a Welder, Steel Worker, CWI, and an Instructor! Also thank you for all the time you have spent putting together such great instructional metal working content! I have thoroughly enjoyed all that I have seen thus far and taken many notes from all you have given your time to offer the world of metal working. Please continue doing what you are doing! So that with your help I along with many others will always be better able to continue to strive for excellence by doing everything within our power to make every weld better than our last!

Man as an ex welder fitter due to a work injury I wish i had access to something like this when I was in the trade, sure would've made things much easier. You've simplified it well, good job.
Thank you. I'm going for MIG and right now with this shelter in place order I really need my instructor because this blueprint work is kicking my butt.
dude! my man! and amigo. here. in the states. translates blanco, negrito, y, cafe... so ? rite? you remind of of two of my favorite teachers. as a kid i knew they were genuine so i should be quiet and listen. and i did cuz momma aint raise no dummy. i im 49 now and if its ok with you, i talk too much but dayam you are university level and that should be mandatory! rebuild is imperrative and you have to be on a team that has to begin... PERIOD!/if you can friend. you are a kick ass instructor!
Been a garage door guy professionally for 20 years and an amateur weld for 18 years. I have a text book on print reading for welders,tried to get into it but with no application I kept it but shelved it just in case. Well,in case came knocking. The market is flooded with "garage door guys". Pay sucks because no one wants to pay you for what you know. I missed my GI Bill because I had a wife,kid ,house. State picked up the tab for school and I'm going to start 10 Jan 22. I picked up my books and their text book for print reading forking sucks! Between you and the old text book I should be ok. I love the content and instruction so far! On to part three. I wish I could show you both books side by side ,the new one goes over remedial math,welding processes that is all fundemental stuff,fasteners and tpi,pitch. Odd "print reading" book. Very little actual symbology and definition. 51 years old and not a real welder yet I can tell this new text book sucks! Merry Christmas everyone!
this is so good, this man explains everything perfectly, even tho english is not my mother tungue language, i understand way more then in my weld school classes and its short and understandable. great work people!
These are great dude!! Best on the internet hands down keep em coming seriously these help alot, iam a fabricator welder and I dont know all the symbols cause I dont use them all every day.. thanks redbeard!!
Dude I'm starting a job that has very intensive prints. I cant tell you how nice this is that you're putting this out. Perhaps I can learn this stuff after all. Thank you.
I got my welding certs so now needing to learn the weld symbols. Probably should've learned the symbols beforehand. Good detailed video, learning a lot
haha loved the analogy with the elephant, "how do you eat an elephant? One step at a time", another knock on a very informative video can't wait to see more educational goodness.
I wrote most of the basic symbols yesterday I’m gonna study them and maybe see if I can get them printed today and maybe laminated and hang it up for everyone
Sir!!!! Thank you so much for your teaching how to read a welding symbol pls.sir continued to teach .like me as a Filipino welder herei in Diego Garcia
Amazing Videos for Students and Lecture Instructors but I have one recommendation, the Symbols written on the board can be written as a script to fully understand the meaning of each Symbol if it's needed in writing for exams or seminars, and thanks anyway
Thank you, I wish I had digital copies of the books and symbols guide you have it's hard to get by and use physical manuals especially since I live in Europe.
Good presentation. You should add some qualifications. There are weld symbols for contract documents, weld symbols for prequalified processes and weld symbols for qualified welds requiring a WPS. Contract documents will indicate PJP or CJP groove welds. The steel detail (shop drawings) will select the appropriate weld and show them on the shop drawings. Prequalified welds have limitations. Example: The one sided butt weld is only prequalified for 1/8" maximum material thickness. The detailed weld symbols should be on shop drawings. Prequalified PJP and CJP will indicate process, angle prep, tolerances, and process. Qualified welds will require a WPS and a PQR. All ASME BPVC welds are qualified welds.
Good info all around. One correction is you said that all around isn’t used commonly on fillets and that you only see arrow or other side. All around fillets are used all the time. Using your first example of the HSS to baseplate connection would be a good example. If you use the top view you’d have a weld all the way around. Other side would be inside the tube. Other examples: socket welds, tabs like lifting eyes, any situation where one member is shorter in length than another. Good job overall.
You do a great job explaining. Well done. If there is a field weld symbol, is it a must to weld in the field or can you weld that portion in the shop if it’s possible to do so?
I use to get paid big money to teach structural engineers weld symbols now its free man I'm glad thair was no utube. My motorcycle collection would have suffered lol.
I'm curious about when / where PJP (15:56) would be used. Seems like it leaves a crevice and an invitation to corrosion? Maybe this is for welds that will be cut / ground out later, or something else is going to be welded back there?
I think I'm getting this other side stuff. So what happens when you turn up for work, you have a brief with your line manager, practice on some off cuts to dial in your welder to the specs?
ifell3 depends. Everywhere is different, I’ve been some places that don’t have symbols. I’ve been to others that do. I usually grab some scrap and set up a similar joint to what I have to weld and get dialed in. Then again, some places have a WPS for specific weldments.
I clicked on part 2 with the idea to head over to the videos description and click on the link of part 1. But nope theres no links to previous and next episode. We need this. Please add
Nice video, bro. Easy to understand and clear. Just a question. Around 21:35 when you say the little welds will be covered up by a .5 inch fillet after the engineer tests it. Is blowing holes common when doing thick welds? I am just a student and I have blown plenty of holes practicing stacking FCAW beads. It just slightly blows my mind that I am gonna have to do things without messing up.
I guess i have a theory about the designations of "arrow side" "otherside" other side is always where you need a tack so the shrink force on the arrow side doesnt pull the weldment up under 90 degrees.
You didn't get into the flush, convex, or concave finish like you said. Also a supplement symbol is the letter G. To tell them after you put in the groove weld, request that it be ground flush. But all in all, great job with this segment.
@@GodslilRedneck23 no problem. You're right in my wheelhouse with these videos. Major portion of my work is building for big yellow. But also for others also. There are standards, but be ready for thinking outside the box by engineering. 😏
How do you know if the rectangular symbol is a backing bar or a slot weld? I thought the weld symbol at 12:15 meant there was a slot + v groove. can you not have a slot and v groove on the same reference line?
20:20 filling in of the groove weld......that step is not on the any of the steps? or is it implied by the 2nd step? I gather the single V symbol is a weld symbol, not just a prep symbol?
Maybe i missed it but you have the field weld symbol that you covered but you passed over the combination weld symbol and thats very close to the field weld symbol.
I don’t know who could dislike this video, the man is spitting some great knowledge.🤦🏻♂️
I swear to God these videos are a lifeline.
I may not understand that class what's going on but I can replay this video a 1000 times for slow people such as myself.

OORAH!
you guys go above and beyond to help people learn about welding i'm a journeyman welder in alberta and im learning lots from this channel
This guy is the best most thorough clear lecturer and explains perfectly thanks for all the effort it really helps
Great information! Every welder should know how to read blueprints and interpret welding symbols.
Excellent breakdown! I took over a decade off from welding/fab and this has been a great resource to get spun back up!
I have a steel design test today and you explained this better than our instructor, thank you!
Great stuff here guys. From a long time fabricator turned drafter, this is gold!!
Si wey loco
14:10 we've had a lot of columns lately with these, and a lot more to fabricate, now I have a clear understanding of it. Very helpful.
Man as an ex welder fitter due to a work injury I wish i had access to something like this when I was in the trade, sure would've made things much easier. You've simplified it well, good job.
I'm working on groove rn at Lincoln tech in Arlington tx and I'm doing pretty good
I’m actually at my cwi seminar watching this. You’ve helped a great deal thanks💪🏽

Thanks. I'm really enjoying this series.
Love the vids would of helped so much when I was a kid starting out.
Awesome information. Thank you.
Thank you for the video. It’s really helpful information.
U r the man
Perfect explanation
This is great info. I needed a refresher. Thank you.
Thank you so much teacher you are the on the West .
Well done young master! Great vid! Keep 'em coming.
maaaaan .. I am an undergraduate engineer and Iam learning from you .. you're soo cool
Excellent sir & thank you from India

Can you do a tig root laywire technique in 6g position
Where can i buy what this fellow showed in the video? Have recently caught onto and have been learning a lot from these 👌👌👌
Very help me understand.thanks
I have learned sooooo much!
very use full for beginner
hey, Jason nice video bro. good exposure on welding
Very helpful good video
For single and double V prep at 17:00 time mark ,are those a bird's eye view of the butt joints?
I clicked on part 2 with the idea to head over to the videos description and click on the link of part 1. But nope theres no links to previous and next episode. We need this. Please add
Love the videos
3/8 is multiple stringer passes. Also I have once had a part with unequal legs.
Thank you for the info
The last weld you discuss, I think all around symbol si not required. Because both side are given weld and not the same welding symbol..
Hello! Just gonna ask how can I download the quick reference guide. I just joined and subscribed. Super love the vids!
When determining the angle of the V bevels, would you use an angle finder to measure the given angle on the print?
My friend thanks for your effort
