Seeing the amps helps a lot! Thanks for not speeding up the video - i think this is misleading in a lot of other tig videos! It would be great if you also add notes on filler and tungsten size:) keep on!
Nice idea to overlay the videos. The filter rod looks a bit crazy. The cup and tip are noticeable if you think about it but it does not take away because I'm watching the tungsten.
Very helpful, i always have a tendency to run more heat on stainless otherwise the rod want to stick on dabs, but obviously more heat you start to get the grey color as you described. thanks for the video sir
It's not about amps; heat input is determined by amp and time: he used 70 amps cause it's ok for his hand, his technique and his speed; but if you can, you can litterally set 90/100 amps and travel faster... Also the grey color depends a lot on your gas coverage and the angle of the torch... If you like to bump up the amps, just try to increase the torch angle and you'll have better colors... Obviously the puddle shape will be different
@@5thStreetFab awesome man, ive never done any arc shots when i tig in my videos just a distance shot, thanks I'll have to try that, keep up the Rad work!!!!
Great video. I know you have done a video on aluminum outside corner joints, but could you do a short one showing how you start that specific weld on thin aluminum and how you get it to fuse and not create a hole and cause the metal to burn back? It’s only an issue on thin aluminum. Do you need to hold the filler rod in the joint when you start? I have seen people tack thin aluminum without filler and not have issues, but I can’t seem to ever get the joint to fuse. The beads will develop on the edge of both pieces and never consolidate. I swear it’s like they are repelling each other. Thanks! Love the videos.
In the video I did a couple weeks back I welded .063" or 16 gauge aluminum around the 11:50 mark. Didn't have the tacking on the video but basically what I do it fusion tack it quickly with either a backing bar like steel or thick aluminum. If you don't tack it quickly it becomes heat soaked so fast that it starts to repel each other. Really weird but that's probably why you're having trouble with it
I’m just a old man who watches a lot of different videos every day. Logging, welding, carpentry, just about anything interesting. If I could offer a small bit of constructive criticism I think you would by far have the best welding channel on TH-cam. During your videos you describe what you are going to do to where everyone can understand. Then you start welding and you go completely silent for nearly the rest of the video. Here is my criticism. While you are welding talk. Tell us tips and tricks to become better welders. Use your entire video to teach us. Tell us things not to do. Thanks
Excellent tutorial! I’ve been a TIG welder for 5 years and you have now taught me how to do the triple and quad weave. Stoked!

Thanks bud. I used 1/16" 308l filler and 3/32" lanthanated tungsten
I like your picture-in-picture shots, it helps bring the whole scope of whats happening together.
Thank you! It took hours of editing to get them but i thought it would help
Great shots of the puddle, I was able to see it freeze and watch where you dabbed, thanks
YES DUDE! arc shots are dope. Well done brother!
Thanks dude!

Awesome work mate your a top welder 👨🏭 yeah definitely was great how you done the different arc shots and having the amps showing as well
Weld Metals doesn't list the weave trainers for sale any more. Any idea where I could find some?? Thanks!
U do an amazing job teaching!
Thanks!
Beautiful welding man 👍. I hope I can do tig welding also.
Thank you, I love your video, please do more

No problem Gary! Ya I like it just at the point to where the puddle flows nice but doesn't disappear as you move quickly to the other side
been told if it sticks to use smaller filler. .040 is what i like to practice with on stainless like this.
@@MatthewScott when I'm doing real welds I like thin stuff like .040 but when I'm doing art stuff I like 1/16" just lasts longer and less feeding

Awesome Max! Huge fan of the arc shot. Another outstanding video 🔥👍🏼🔥
Thanks Phil I'm glad people are digging it
Love your video's always very informative!!! Do you mind sharing your camera settings for your arc shots?
ya i combined two shots together. both with an adjustable ND filter and f stop at 32 and iso at 100

Nice steady hand.
Thanks bud
Can u do it walking the cup ?
Fantastic as usual. Love the blended video. Thanks for vid.😎
Right on and no problem bud!
How do you get the patterns on there

Great job Max. Always come with the skill!
Thanks bud!
What size of cup are you using?
it was either a 12 or 16 dont remember
Sweet arc shots nice job!!!
Thanks
Great job man! Amazing skills.
Nice consitiant dabs
Thanks bud I appreciate it! But these coupons really help keep everything consistent
Great video.
Awesome work dude
Thanks bud!👊
Arc shots were really good man an was that 1/8 or 3/16
Nm its 1/4
Its 1/8" and thanks dude!
I love it I love it. Wow that osum dude.
Arc shot looks great! Any word on that give away tho...
Thanks! Reed reels won!
What's the use for theese techniques? Weldart? For actual jobs isn't just easier to walk the cup?
Mostly weldart but some people dont like or arent able to walk the cup too
@@5thStreetFab i see, apart from weldart this looks a bit tiresome if you are not at bench (i'm thinking about some 5, or 6g joint), intersting btw👍🏻
Cool! 👍
Awesone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks dude they're a blast
You make it look too easy buddy
👊👊👊🍻🍻🍻
