Was just thinking " There's something therapeutic about watching a guy weld" , then 8 minute in the relaxing music started up. Good stuff. Appreciate the vids.
I’m a traveling welded for 6 years now, done pipe once and I sucked at it. But I swear watching your videos makes me feel like I could do it no problem lol. Great stuff
Although I do have some questions I would love to have answered, I’m used to the new Miller machines with a digital readout for amps so on “150 range” at “40” would that put you at 60 amps or is my math wrong ? That seems low but again I’m not a pipe welder. Also Welty don’t you get all of your slag out of the way before restarting wether it be ‘10 rods or ‘18 rods? Seems like an easily avoidable fail point to me just by wire wheeling your slag? I can’t say Thanks for the videos enough. You’re a huge help in the welding world not only for me but also thousands of others.
Just found you. My first thought was: hey, Paul Williams (Singer and actor). Then as I watched you weld I recalled how soothing the sound of stick welding is. I grew up on a farm stick welding in the 70's. Later moved to mig and Tig. Each has its place and in fabricating too many kids discount stick when it's probably the right method.
LowHy for me is all about making it slick. Great video Austin, thanks for giving of your time to help others, you shine a lot of light, and clear up a lot of questions. In all that we are, we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us. Always help those you can, and be kind, Like Austin!!
It was glowing hot. Air movers pull clean air into a pipeline and draws the flammable gas or vapors away from the weld area. It’s to keep the flammable gas away from an ignition source. 🔥
This video was really helpful because I always struggled when I was testing out in MIG, or “STICK” welding on pipe, in Vocational School Welding program!! Keep doing what you’re doing, because it’s VERY HELPFUL!!!
For Exxon structure pipe we ran 7018 1/8 stringer 5/32 and 3/16 fill all up hill and cap 5/32 and 3/16 down hill with a hot machine most of our pipe was 1.5” to 2.5 “ thick love 7018
theres no doubt 7018 are easier to weld with and restating the importance of cleaning on restarts very helpful good video thanks for the time you take making them and i also appreciate the fact that you dont find it necessary to swear on your channel that means a lot to me .
My goodness the way you freehand it is phenomenal, I just recently been working with 6inch black pipe and lemme tell you it’s hard to start from the bottom and finish at the top of the pipe. Always gotta rest my shoulder and arm on the pipe. Will perfect it just have a week doing it at my trades school. 💯
one thing ive learned during this video, is you being an actual pipeliner, and this was a "test" i thought i should be worried about my welds in the field where im at now, but comparing what ive seen here today, and what i do in the field, im not so bad for a ole rookie pipewelder! Thanks for that. Because ive been worried. It dont all have to be gorgeous, it just has to make it.
Great job Austin, restarts and outside the rail. You do a fine job of showing how to work within the lines and using 7018 for capping. I'm learning things I feel are important to doing a better job with MY welding for me. Thanks for sharing. Fred.
Brother, You run a beautiful uphill bead with that 7018 rod, keeping it in the puddle and no whipping the rod. I was a Maintenance Welder 24 years, mostly 7018 repairs on whatever machinery broke at a Can Plant.
There are some things that I hope you might have time to make a video about. High low. I'm guessing it's all about alignment but how to get things aligned etc. Root pass key holing out, what to do when your fitter hasn't made the gap constant etc. Thank you for posting.
Austin, been meaning to mention to you. I was in Oklahoma for a day and got within 20 miles or so of Stillwater. If I would have had more time I would have reached out and came and met another fellow welder. Next time I will for sure!!. BTW, Oklahoma roads still suck!! Lol
I miss doing this process asme pipe welding on pipe Un fortunately I got stuck in the mud with low paying dead end production tig stainless steel welding on air units for car drying system's I guess I need to be grateful been steady for 8yrs now can't complain.
HahahaI think everybody forgets their ground sometimes, I get to go weld some pipe at the Nestlé plant Monday hell yeah I can’t wait! Been watching the last couple videos I miss welding that part on the same I haven’t been on pipeline in a long time
My father in law had given me a couple of welders over the years and I had never gotten around to trying them out until last month. After getting over the adrenaline rush of burning metal with my arch nemesis electricity, I have caught the bug. I've been watching everything I can on TH-cam and I started binge watching your channel a few days ago. Thanks for taking the mystery out of welding and helping me find a new passion.
He has all the gear, which is most important.plenty of room, and most of all, he’s very comfortable. But at the end of this, it’s a good stoving rod that’s required, as cheap ones on the market, makes it all the more difficult for the welder. Nice finish, but personally, I would have done the cap with beads, because I think it looks neater. Some inspectors don’t like the weave. But hey, your good.🏴🏴🏴
Picked up on your "arc striking" technique: stick it where you want to strike while your hood is off and then you put hood on and "strike" by "unsticking"…clever. At least that's what I think I saw you do. I also noticed you literally freehand the root…I'm gonna try that. Been noticing that doing the root downhill benefits from some down pressure on the stick…you seem to literally be resting the stick on the root face. I also noticed you fully lay your ass down when starting at bottom which is my weakest point in 5G…I'm gonna try that setup when I get out of school where I can't lay down and have to try to have good visibiliy by torquing my neck 97 degrees…and I still have to kind of guess what's REALLY going on in that puddle down there 😃
funny fact every welder that used 7018 3/32 wish it was 24" long. McKay rods have less flux on them than Lincoln good bad ? i like McKay. learned i been welding to cold for years up the amps and move on thank you
I didnt know about 8010 rods. I always used 1/8 6010 for root , 2nd and 1/8 7018 for cap on bore casing. Is it common to use 8010s for 2nd pass and 3/32 7018"s for the cap pass on all pipe or just this small pipe? Thanks and great welding!😀
Austin Was wondering If you use sound as well as sight to do your bead . When I was doing it sound played a big part in running beads for me . If it looked good and sounded good 99% of the time it was good . 7018 I would fill just below flush and then cap. Over full one would have to dance pretty good so it wasn't ugly. Still wondering if you have tried the pipe saddle scribe I sent. Would make a good video if used right. Another good video
Not sure if I heard right, did you say 150 amps for the 3/32 7018??? If so, that's not just a little outside the amperage range but quite a lot! Can you explain why? Thanks again, great videos.
hey austin, i was just wondering what lens you we’re using in this video? i was looking into trying out the tradesman lens from arcone but i was wondering what you use
What kind of volts and wire speed are you running out of that Miller squirt gun when you are doing those 2" fence or railings? Whe learning new things it's best to ask the pro's.
I am not a stick welder but definitely appreciate the pointers you give. I bought an electric 205A machine to practice welding with and have a good generator to push it. The thickest I weld is 1/4" because it usually fence and gate stuff. For me smooth is fast fast is smooth.
@@mikedavis1714 Can you please give me any advice for 6010 open root overhead? All I hear is keep it pushed up in there, but it still doesn’t turn out right and gets out of hand. I run it at 85 amps with 1/8” gap and land.
85 amp with a 1/8 gap is pretty hot. I would try a 1/16 or 3/32 gap at that amperage keep your rod 90°with the plate or pipe your welding or I like to lean my rod angle slightly toward the direction I'm traveling and it should open up a slight key hole, if your key hole gets too big just scoot your rod back into the puddle for a second and it should fill back in and continue dragging your rod from there, it may require you to step back and forth a few times to close up a big hole but the main idea is to not come back into your puddle for too long or you will have a mess. As far as pressure there is no need to push too hard, if you can imagine making that same pass standing up in a flat position were your looking down on the weld basically the weight of your arm and hand is all the pressure you need if you can mimic that on the over head you should be pretty close, but practice is key sometimes it takes weeks or months in some cases to get it right. For me I practiced every chance I got and tried to watch others as much as I could, I weld pipeline so any downtime we had I was practicing and letting x-ray shoot my welds
@@mikedavis1714 I’m not allowed to alter the gap or land. It has to be 1/8” for both gap and land, and we were told to run it at 85 amps using a 1/8” E6010 electrode.
@@mikedavis1714 This school is training us to go by procedure and all the welds are uphill…no downhill welding in this program. We are using Miller XMT 304
for use old timers you changed hoods for the spatter i get that. do you run the same lens tho 10-12 shade??? for me its 11 on 60s and 10 on 70s your thoughts thank you again
Question, not a pipe welder but I'm using pulse mig on plate. Is it safe to grind every pass like I'm always told grind your toes a bit so you don't see any defects silicon deposits. It feels like i weld grind weld grind for xray as well. I overthink that part only because i just wire wheel silicon usually not go as far as some people where I'm at who grind every single pass down 50 percent of their bead. I kind of scuff the welds and try to clean my toes because apparently lot of people failed because of lack of fusion in their toes.
thats a cool grinder stand , I'm GONING to make me one , are those electrodes 5/32 , i have always had trouble with 7018 and seeing you welding with 7018 it looks awesome , i guess i need to practice more with 7018 , when you grind your weld is it to smooth it for hot pass and why
so while on jobs do they tell you what rods you have to use? if so why? .. i always thought "youre the welder, they hired you, so youd use what you choose"
Arkng outside the bevel will create a hotspot in the surface of the pipe from the instant temperature change if it's bad enough overtime from the pipe being under pressure and depressurized it will crack at that point
@@TundraCamburg yes sir I sure have was one of the first things we learned in welding school Tulsa welding school 1990 arc marks on a piece of pipe cut it out and put it through the Bender we used to test coupons on it damn sure split
7018 you want more of a U pattern for the fill pass instead of a stepping motion, and let the slag freeze the puddle where you want it. wish I could trade some uphill knowledge for your downhill as my pipeline beads look like poo. great video!
@@shaunlehman9158 he said in the video that he hasnt done a ton of 7018. everyone has room for improvement and its by sharing knowledge with others that we can all improve. I've been welding for 12 years and I am still learning new things every day. I dont take it as an insult but rather prefer people point out different techniques, and then I share what I know and that way everyone gains.
Man, that's what we did in our stick pipe class in school all night long. 8" sch 40. We did all our passes uphill thought. 6010 root with 7018 for the rest, 1/8" rods for every pass. Roots for me were 75 amps while hot, fill and caps were 95. Wish we welded pipe at work... I miss it. Quick technical question Austin, what's the name of the song at 8:15? I know you've used it in a couple videos before and I love it, but it was never listed in the description.
Question, why switch from 6010 to 8010? Why not start with 8010 for root and hot or root 6010 and hot, fill, cap with 7018? I ain't trying to sharpshoot anyone, I am just curious.
That's typically how pipeline procedures are wrote. 6010 root 8010 hot pass and 7018 fill and cap. Some make us do 7018 from bead to cap and a few do 6010 root and 7018 hot pass fill and cap, its all gas company procedure, but the procedure Austin used is pretty common for most gas company's that have an uphill code
Can you go over the differences in rod? Mostly I use 7018 for what I do. I think it welds easier than any other rod. But I would like to know the differences in how 6010,7018,7010,and 8010 weld. I am not real good with 6010. I seem to stick it allot more than 7018. 7018 I don't think sticks that easy. But I am really curious about 7010 and 8010. I have never used those two.
7018 usually u just have to drag 6010 etc those are more of a rod u have to mess around with so ur beads can look nice those 2 rods u will use a lot which I say u should master those first
@@raulll0441 I have improved allot on 6010. I figured out a couple tricks that seem to help allot. They are not always the most pretty weld but I have never had one fail. I usually cap with 7018 unless its thinner material. I have never had to test for the welding I have done either though. I am surprised I didn't have to be certified to weld bracing on a crane runway but it was a easy weld procedure all except body position and room to get in there.
I have also always used 1/8th, I got some 3/32 7018 to try that out on some thinner material. !/4 inch with bevels. It's a floppy rod. It's hard to control the rod because it bounces so much. It doesn't help that I am kind of shaky.
Hello, I would like to know your experience in welding from top to bottom - electrodes 6010. Specifically, what movements should the electrode. How to weld fill and cup ? Especially on the vertical section, because it is known that this place lags behind the rest. And so that the roller turns out convex and not concave? Thank you.
Hey man, I'm going to welding school in a few months. I want to get a machine now to just try and get a leg up but I'm nervous about developing bad habbits that will hinder me once school starts. any advice?
Ya don’t worry about that! As long as you are willing to listen and open to learn you will break those habits. You will break the bad ones if they are hindering you from making better welds. Your desire to make better welds will allow you to be open minded and try a technique that produces a better weld. I hope that makes sense. Practice away! Weld weld weld! Start welding ASAP!

That hot pass shows why we run airmovers for 30mins after a weld is complete. The weld looks good, btw!!
Please explain???? You cool it off prior to next weld?
It was glowing hot. Air movers pull clean air into a pipeline and draws the flammable gas or vapors away from the weld area. It’s to keep the flammable gas away from an ignition source. 🔥
The arc from the rod is more of a source then the hot weld.

Loved the stow motion bit 😂 slick it bud
It’s still amazes me as a welder after all the years of welding we still forget the ground🙃😆
1st thing you do (starting out) is that clamp your ground clamp on 1st before you do anything else and try to remember that when you start your day.
I never pipe welded before ,but I have learned a little from watching your videos.

best regards to all from Venezuela
I do a lot of high pressure steam and that is the procedure 6010 1/8” bead and 7018 3/32” or 1/8” hot pass,filler,and cap
Is your root uphill or does the WPS specify which direction?
It’s uphill bead to cap
I miss doing this process asme pipe welding on pipe Un fortunately I got stuck in the mud with low paying dead end production tig stainless steel welding on air units for car drying system's I guess I need to be grateful been steady for 8yrs now can't complain.
Vertical up only in certain nations for pipework or downhand when rolled
I tested out on 6g 6p root arc 80 hot and 7018 fill and cap then same on a saddle then did same with cellulose all the way
Hi Austin thank you for great videos very informative learned a lot
Good luck good job sir thanks for share your video very nice 👍 👏

What setting was your root pass ? Also setting for hot pass. ? Setting for cap. Thank you
When you finish the root pass why do you grind it ? And what are you looking for when grinding ?
New to arc welding one year in, I’ve seen many welders lay down on a wooden pallet is there a reason for that?
What’s your amperage roughly set at for the root pass on this 8”? What’s the wall thickness. Thanks for the great videos!
for use old timers you changed hoods for the spatter i get that. do you run the same lens tho 10-12 shade??? for me its 11 on 60s and 10 on 70s your thoughts thank you again

Slick welds man, when running 7018 on the bottom of pipe, what do you do to keep it flat instead of drooping down if you know what I mean
With 7018 overhead welds just like flat.
keep it moving. don't stop or start on the bottom.
You have to start and stop on the bottom! 7018 don't run downhill

6010 and 7018 for the cap
When you put the rod into the electrode holder i see you bend it.. what is the reason for that!

7018 you want more of a U pattern for the fill pass instead of a stepping motion, and let the slag freeze the puddle where you want it. wish I could trade some uphill knowledge for your downhill as my pipeline beads look like poo. great video!
He pipe lined for 8 years I’m sure he has it figured out..
@@shaunlehman9158 he said in the video that he hasnt done a ton of 7018. everyone has room for improvement and its by sharing knowledge with others that we can all improve. I've been welding for 12 years and I am still learning new things every day. I dont take it as an insult but rather prefer people point out different techniques, and then I share what I know and that way everyone gains.
And you get a little cup holder for your coffee
Ok were
I like that hood where can I snag one
Man, that's what we did in our stick pipe class in school all night long. 8" sch 40. We did all our passes uphill thought. 6010 root with 7018 for the rest, 1/8" rods for every pass. Roots for me were 75 amps while hot, fill and caps were 95. Wish we welded pipe at work... I miss it.
Quick technical question Austin, what's the name of the song at 8:15? I know you've used it in a couple videos before and I love it, but it was never listed in the description.
Kobe!
Hey Austin how is your back ?
7018 is smooth and is a lot better looking on the cap than the 8010!
Question, why switch from 6010 to 8010? Why not start with 8010 for root and hot or root 6010 and hot, fill, cap with 7018? I ain't trying to sharpshoot anyone, I am just curious.
That's typically how pipeline procedures are wrote. 6010 root 8010 hot pass and 7018 fill and cap. Some make us do 7018 from bead to cap and a few do 6010 root and 7018 hot pass fill and cap, its all gas company procedure, but the procedure Austin used is pretty common for most gas company's that have an uphill code
Austin, do you like a Tigerhood
What Amps did you run all of these rods on
Can you go over the differences in rod? Mostly I use 7018 for what I do. I think it welds easier than any other rod. But I would like to know the differences in how 6010,7018,7010,and 8010 weld. I am not real good with 6010. I seem to stick it allot more than 7018. 7018 I don't think sticks that easy. But I am really curious about 7010 and 8010. I have never used those two.
Turn your amps up. The higher amps keep the rod from sticking after a scratch start
7018 usually u just have to drag 6010 etc those are more of a rod u have to mess around with so ur beads can look nice those 2 rods u will use a lot which I say u should master those first
@@raulll0441 I have improved allot on 6010. I figured out a couple tricks that seem to help allot. They are not always the most pretty weld but I have never had one fail. I usually cap with 7018 unless its thinner material. I have never had to test for the welding I have done either though. I am surprised I didn't have to be certified to weld bracing on a crane runway but it was a easy weld procedure all except body position and room to get in there.
I have also always used 1/8th, I got some 3/32 7018 to try that out on some thinner material. !/4 inch with bevels. It's a floppy rod. It's hard to control the rod because it bounces so much. It doesn't help that I am kind of shaky.
Hello, I would like to know your experience in welding from top to bottom - electrodes 6010. Specifically, what movements should the electrode. How to weld fill and cup ? Especially on the vertical section, because it is known that this place lags behind the rest. And so that the roller turns out convex and not concave? Thank you.
I want to get a stick welder any recommendations
Как у тебя получается варить сверху вниз 🤔🤔🤔
Can you make a video going uphill on the root.
What size the gap?
What thikness do you use for the cable. .?

Hey man, I'm going to welding school in a few months. I want to get a machine now to just try and get a leg up but I'm nervous about developing bad habbits that will hinder me once school starts. any advice?
Ya don’t worry about that! As long as you are willing to listen and open to learn you will break those habits. You will break the bad ones if they are hindering you from making better welds. Your desire to make better welds will allow you to be open minded and try a technique that produces a better weld. I hope that makes sense. Practice away! Weld weld weld! Start welding ASAP!
@@arosswelding awesome thanks man! Any machine recommendations? I'm on a bit of a budget at the moment (school aint cheap) lol
Хорошо сварил😉👍💪 .на руси не хуже варят💪👍😉
What are some drilling rig companies that hire welders?
You seem like you're practicing your welds to go back on the pipelilne.
