THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! Check out the next episode I mention HERE th-cam.com/video/hj84fNT0RoY/w-d-xo.html 💎💎💎Take a FREE online Tig class on my website HERE👉 www.pacificarctigwelding.com/
Number 3. The apprentice at work has asked me to teach him how to tig. I gave him a rod and told him the exact same technique you did. Said to go home and when he is watching TV to just run the wire back and forth and when he can feed it consistently I’ll show him the rest. Glad we have the same idea!
Great info. This was my major issue as I was concentrating on filler rod dab and forgot about torch. I Made a simplistic ball bearing rail from a toolbox I could clamp to the table which was parallel to work piece and a wrist pad attached to it. Helped me so much in my early days till I got better and didn't need the rail anymore.
Super info as always! Definitely agree with the wish for more videos on mild steel. Love that you've started to use more than one camera but have a tip for you from a video editor. It's a bit distracting that you always look at the frontal camera throughout the video. Feel free to talk to both cameras as you film and choose the one you're looking into as you switch scenes during editing. Like feeding filler, it's easy if you're comfortable and practice. Many thanks for all your help.
I mean do you even need to feed 1/8"? The rate at which you feed the puddle on these thinner materials doesn't require much filler or hand movement at all. Especially an outside corner. In my mind 1/8" should be used on 5/16" and thicker material. tappy tap tap
Dusty.... ALWAYS 1/8 filler? I want to weld .090" or .060".... would you still use 1/8 rod for such thin material? I guess it would be FILL and CCCHHHHHIIIIILLL?
Stand off distance is important because of the inverse square law... The inverse square law states that for a point source of waves that is capable of radiating omnidirectionally and with no obstructions in the vicinity, the intensity "I" decreases with the square of the distance, "d", from the source. Or mathematically I=1/d², so the intensity of the arc "I" decreases based on the distance between the work piece and the Tungsten based on the distance squared... this makes for an exponential degradation of arc intensity due to the squared term
Thanks for all your videos I am learning just watching them! I have welded a lot but never with tig I subscribed, and I’m gonna keep watching all your videos. Thank you so much for even talking about the little things. MIKE
I will say... i bought several gloves off of amazon and even black stallion heavies but..... HIGHLY RECOMMEND Defiant Metal. I only have the tig gloves but im using them for everything (which isnt the best idea probably). They have been so good.
this is actually operator bad habit when they learn welding. when I'm welding both of my hand is floating in air is a habit. if I'm welding standing vertical or overhead i don't need relied where to rest my hand.
I'm sure you have already covered it. But I haven't come across it. Can you do a video on material prep. Not fresh clean coupons. Actual real welding scenarios. Like adding a few tubes to a rollcage to meet new rules. I'm just getting back to tig welding after years of welding structural steel. And I swear I over look how clean the material has to be to get a proper weld with tig.
The one that you can get at the lowest cost. It does need to be a weldable alloy. This will basically be any of the 3xxx, 5xxx and 6xxx alloys. Basically if it is an extrusion it will likely be a 6xxx alloy. If it is a piece of plate or sheet it will likely be 3xxx or 5xxx thought there is some 6xxx sheet out there. There are only minor differences in how 5356 and 4043 filler rods act. For practicing and learning, you don't really need to worry about weld zone alloy dilution. hth PS: Unless you go dumpster diving at Boeing or Airbus, you don't need to worry about picking up any 2xxx or 7xxx material.
Keeping a white knuckle grip on the filler makes you shaky. Took me a really long time to figure that out. Seems like that would have been common sense but it wasn’t
Thank you for admitting that you don't like to slide your hand. I have tried many times and have the same problem of eventually hanging up on something. It's frustrating
Thank you for these tips, they came at the right time. I'm going to try aluminum tig for the first time today! Thanks again for your informative videos.
I always learn at least one thing from your videos that no-one else has ever mentioned in all the courses I’ve attended or videos I have watched over many years. And it all makes perfect sense.

This is a great video!!
Great video Dusty. I definitely need more practice with this.
Always good to watch .
Thanks for the tips LARRYMOORE

I am learning to Tig weld and I'm doing weaving can you give me a tip to get my toe straight

Superbes instructions de positionnement et d'avance de métal d'apport .
Merci Mr Dusty
Dude, I'm also in Victoria. Do you teach this stuff in person? Like a "night class" or anything like that? 👍

would you please help us with over head 4f ? and some 4g

Hi, what's the best grade of aluminum to practise tig welding on?
The one that you can get at the lowest cost. It does need to be a weldable alloy. This will basically be any of the 3xxx, 5xxx and 6xxx alloys. Basically if it is an extrusion it will likely be a 6xxx alloy. If it is a piece of plate or sheet it will likely be 3xxx or 5xxx thought there is some 6xxx sheet out there.

@@paulkurilecz4209 Thank you so much for that information that is really appreciate.
4:06 HAHA . Can you make some videos about Tig welding alu castings ?
Thanks for the great tips!! Is that one of the optrel Helix helmets? How do you like it? Been eyeing them for a little while now. 😍
Keeping a white knuckle grip on the filler makes you shaky. Took me a really long time to figure that out. Seems like that would have been common sense but it wasn’t
All comes with time
I dont like stoping untill all rods used long welds ill lay rods out so just keep going on heavy rods 3.2 and up
I wish you would make more Tig welding videos on mild steel. I don't have an AC machine and don't have access to aluminum practice pieces.
Excellent video! I also LOVE my strong hand table, it was a game changer!
Great tips! Dusty. As always thanks for your help makes self teaching manageable!

Thanks broooo
I want to learn TIG welding and that was very helpful, thank you.

Love my weld porn gloves . Will try others
Thank you for the awesome training!
Good morning I’m from Fresno ca. thanks LARRYMOORE
My man Larry!
