When you say “ it is real life weld and and i am gonna show you “ i really get motivated and encouraged, because you know every time someone shows you their best welds and you weld and the result not like theirs, it really make you down and you say i cannot be welder. So i really love your saying and showing us real life staff
Wow, thank you. That means a lot man. I hope I don’t let you down. Because I plan on showing some ugly ones. One of my biggest pet peeves is people showing only their pretty Welds. Everybody has ugly welds. Thanks again
Don't be a stranger man! I know it's hard, I just got back from a 6 month job of 6\10's, couldn't even imagine doing YT vids and working at the same time, much appreciated content.
Laying in that first one is always tough. Putting a bead of 6010 in that tight corner first makes the 7018 bead over the top easier. Great video as always.
Yep, would have been a better production with good audio, but the photography was really nice. I really like the close up of what is actually going on. Thanks for the nice video.
Yes Chris! I'm missing your welding videos much more than the ones with the finansial stuff! And learning how to get better in a trade, equips you with a skills which in my humble opinion are one of the biggest investments you can have! God bless you and your family!
I give you a million dollar tip for passing your test. Clean your plates well remove all mill scale from the backing bar also before you begin! Don’t rush over heat the work piece most important clean slag and clean slag take your time on the restarts. Carry over your beads to the backing bar. Don’t be in a hurry
I'm just about to make a rack in the garage of a friend of mine and I'm gonna use angle ~ 2" × 2" × 3/16" for the verticals and horisontal frames for the shelfs, for which I'm gonna use 3/4" plywood. I think to use 3/32" 7018 and I'm gonna have a lot of short fillets and butts in overhead, vertical and horizontal positions. Overal dimentions are around 13' × 9' × 2'. My question Chris is, should I bevel the ends of the members (with some landing) or not? Thank you in advance!
Hi Chris, do you have any tips on how to steady your hands and position when welding 7018 uphill. I weld 7018 in every position and get great welds except for uphill. My hands shake so bad, and no matter how much i practice i cant seem to get any better at it.
Great job! I've always used 5p or 6011 for the first pass. But all in all, it was a great presentation. I've also known journeyman welders blow that last 3" out trying to get to the next weld. Bad habit..
Thanks for the video. Too much heat, arc blow and undercut are usually issues with my 7018 verticals. I am starting a project I’d love your input on. A 60’x62’ corrugated grain silo that they want a 10’x10’ overhead door cut into. Any thoughts?
Great question. That weld really was too big. It would be considered a wave for sure. I’m not sure why they do that. In my opinion, it’s no big deal as long as your flux isn’t drying up behind you. But it doesn’t matter what my opinion is. If they won’t stringers, you got to give them stringers.
Many moon's ago the Navy sent me to "high pressure plate welding school at a shipyard on the east coast, all we did was vert and horizontal overhead" stringers, no weavywobbly what so ever, all 3/8" V'ed w/ a backer plate. the reason they told us not to weave was the risk of trapping slag. I did as ordered and got my thumb print on a piece of paper three months later. I think I suffer from 7018 vertical PTSD to this day over that ordeal 😳@@TaylorWelding
Have welded for your ex caliber 7018 rod is the only rod to use very good welding rod 7018 very good video. Go up and hold each side. Don’t worry about the middle and I will get enough well for 75 years very good welding away 6013 7014 570 1811 018 312 Roding.
How about telling us what makes it too hot? You keep saying it's too hot but I can't see why. It looks fine to me... a little too much build up but, not bad. What am I supposed to look for, to be too hot?
Sorry for the bad audio. Spur of minute videos are what they are. If you have any questions or good video ideas please leave them here.
I had a heck of a time in welding school because I always got the base metal too hot. I didn't think I was ever going to pass my plate test.
Need in&outs on getting a better down hill cap.
No problem…love all you do Chris….Paulie
@ thank you PAULIE

Most welders act like they never have an ugly Weld. we all get them. I’m glad it was encouraging. Make each weld better than the last.
Thank you! The best vertical 7018 arc shots I've seen. Awesome!
I agree with you on the best video of the weld puddle . Absolutely the very best demonstration of vertical welding. Awesome, Great video.
Glad you liked it!
Yes, great close-up arc shots! Many thanks!
Your are by far the best welder ive seen in my 60 years of welding
Wow, thank you. That means a lot man. I hope I don’t let you down. Because I plan on showing some ugly ones. One of my biggest pet peeves is people showing only their pretty Welds. Everybody has ugly welds.

Yeah
It happens to all of us
@@vorsprung2330for sure
Looks good ! I thought that first run was darn good ! I am always chasing the slag peel Lol
Thanks for sharing
@ you bet thank you for watching

Thank you for the support! It’s the editing that so time consuming

You are right, I usually put down 6010 First period but sometimes they want 7018 only
Yep, would have been a better production with good audio, but the photography was really nice. I really like the close up of what is actually going on. Thanks for the nice video.
Your tip about using white out instead of soapstone helped me out.
I am glad you found it helpful!
White out?
Hello dear Chris
Very glad to see you
Please keep teaching us
Thank you

@@6pekXX i totally agree
No one is going to snatch away your knowledge and skills.
As someone in welding school who will be testing for 3G stick soon enough, this was very helpful! Love your content!
Glad it was helpful! The next video will be right up your alley

Great video- Glad you're getting the arc shots figured out.
Great video Taylor Welding! 🔥 Thank you! 💯
Good to see a video from you Chris! Hope you and yours are well and blessed.
@@SFS13-01 thank you
Another great video bud, thanks 👍
Thank you, John. Any ideas?
Oh hell yeah. Always a treat when you upload!
Thank you
Great advice!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Very nice! Love the sound of 7018 running - that Excalibur is a great running rod, it runs so nice on DC buzz boxes !
Thank you for the comment. Atom arc are as good or maybe better

nice arc shot.shows exactly how to wash in the edges
Thanks Mr larry
Very nice, not easy filming and welding
Great video
what set up are you using to get your arc shots? Thanks in advance
iPhone with a cutting lens
Thanks Chris!
Thank you!
Is "holding the toes" the key to preventing undercut with the 7018 rod on vertical up?
@@fastbusiness yes if you go over there and don’t stay long enough, it’ll undercut it
Beautiful. Chris.
I’ve always used ex caliber. Love it
Great video as always

Thanks 👍

Yes I do. I will make you a video
@TaylorWelding that would be great and much appreciated

I've also known journeyman welders blow that last 3" out trying to get to the next weld.

Awesome! Thank you!
I usually do too. But I’ve been on jobs for they only had 7018.

Box it in. Is my first thought
when you weld up hill like that are you still watching the weld pool?
awesome welds btw thanks for sharing
Yes I am! Watch where you go And also watch where you've been
Chris, what is your opinion of “weld engineers” who spec that they don’t want weaves, and want you to run stringers on vertical welds?
Great question. That weld really was too big. It would be considered a wave for sure. I’m not sure why they do that. In my opinion, it’s no big deal as long as your flux isn’t drying up behind you. But it doesn’t matter what my opinion is. If they won’t stringers, you got to give them stringers.

It is definitely hard to make your self wait.
Hay thanks I needed that lol
When is the new stubby rod saver gonna be available
We are waiting on the web nerds
🤣 that could be a long wait
Yes a new vid!
If you mentioned it I didn't catch it are you running AC or DC
Dc 7018 is a dc rod
Thank you !

You are welcome, Sabine Parish!
Have welded for your ex caliber 7018 rod is the only rod to use very good welding rod 7018 very good video. Go up and hold each side. Don’t worry about the middle and I will get enough well for 75 years very good welding away 6013 7014 570 1811 018 312 Roding.
@@BobGriff-o9s thank you Mr. Bob
Very Nice
Thanks
Biggest thing I tell people when using 7018 uphill or overhead is ......slow down! Make a puddle, and take it with you!
Where can I get one of those stubby rod savers?
stubbyrodsaver.com whenever it's up and running
👍🏻
How about telling us what makes it too hot? You keep saying it's too hot but I can't see why. It looks fine to me... a little too much build up but, not bad. What am I supposed to look for, to be too hot?
Just all the symptoms. Up in the middle. Buckshot. Hard to manipulate Etcetera
