I think what you're inferring with the scribe lines, is it gives a novice a point, after lighting up and dabbing, to move forward with the puddle, to keep the dimes consistent. Nice concept. Could be helpful for someone like me who can stick metal together pretty well in various processes, but after 40+ years of car work, my hands tremor after a few minutes of welding. Then my welds start to look like I'm having an epileptic fit.
I’m new to Tig welding and watching loads on instructional videos. One thing that I’m not getting is what makes a strong weld. There’s lots of talk about good looking welds but not as much about the strength. I get it’s great to have good looking welds but as a beginner I’m practicing but when working on an actual project, I’m not going to be perfect all the time. So what should I be looking out for, with regard to strength?
Hey dusty, I’ve been a long time viewer, and gained most of my skills through a welding machine at my university (majoring in mechanical engineering), and taught myself using your videos primarily. I’m now looking to buy myself a welder for personal use, and wanted some help deciding. I really like the look of the everlast brand. I’m stuck deciding between either powertig 255ext or the typhoon 230 (which you have). I can afford either, but I’m not sure what meaningful differences they have. Any insight?
When i hit the petal it either arcs then stops or doesnt arc at all. It was working sorta then just started doing this. I have good clamp connection and have pre and post flow set to 3 and 8. New tungsten sharpened with a new non contaminated disk and its got a good little ball on it. Ive searched the web but cant fine a solution. HELP PLEASE oh also i tried a new petal with same results.
I appreciate you watching, but when I film I just have a hangout with my audience. If I rush, my videos won't be what I enjoy making, and I do this because I enjoy it. Like I said, I do appreciate you watching, but this is how I do things in a way that I enjoy. Have a great weekend✌️
You're doing awesome! They don't have to watch. I know I will, and I also subscribed. I'm very seriously considering taking your welding class once I get all the equipment in place. Take care.@PacificArcTigWelding

Merci Dusty pour ces astuces de traçage avant la soudure,cela va bien me servir.
Your lessons are amazing. But your cinematography and production is stunning.
Very good tips as always Dusty, thank you.
Cool, happy Friday to everyone
Have a great weekend! Thanks for checking out the video🙂✌️
Use a pair of six inch dial calipers also to. Run on the edge of the pipe and scribe a straight line around its circumference
Dayum i love your consistent beads around pipes
Watch out for that undercut on the pipe side toes brother 😉.
Great video. This also works for structural welding as well.
Thank you for the video 😊
Love this. I’ve had students do this with soapstone on t-joints. It really helps with placement and consistency when it comes to travel speed. 🤘🔥
Good stuff, Dusty!
Many thanks , always appreciated.

When you use your micro file you were going wrong way. Was that on purpose?
they're draw files
Spelling might be wrong... but how it's pronounced and said
Sometimes cosmetics matter.
Why not just call it by its proper name? , leg length
Scribing a line on an aircraft part would be forbidden.
This could have been a 5min video.
Thank you so much Dusty!
A ruler governs... ar rule measures...
Stop calling a rule a ruler
I like your videos, but you talk way way too much…. just using sooo many words for saying the same thing
They told Mozart he used too many notes, so there's that.
