I've been TIG welding for about 3 years now. Currently getting into pipe welding and working towards being able to complete a 6G test. This channel has taught me so much and made me realise that there is so much to learn in this trade. Excellent video.
As someone who would like to get into tig welding, bending the filler rod for better sight is something I haven't seen, heard, or learned from any other video. Thank you for teaching me something new.
Bro, honestly one of the best channels on TH-cam!! Never a wasted moment here. And yes we want all the vids on all the materials and all the weld joints 😂
I want to say you're an artist, but you said that yourself straight off. I really appreciate how much you love TIG welding. I love what I do too- an amateur. In French, that means lover. I believe that amateurs, who work out of love, once they get good enough, do the best work. A pro would have their desire for a quality outcome compromised by practical business concerns. That's why I am not in the motorcycle fixing business. I would always want to dive too deep, do too much, and most would not want to pay. I am grateful for your straightforward, insightful videos. I have TIG Welded for 27 years, but it is only a small part of what I do, so my skills have developed very slowly. Thank you for the leg up.
Thanks for explanation and the tips, my kindness was today not to a stranger but for my wife, I weeded 20 yard overgrown garden bed. And I can tel you,… I hate gardening,.. she was pleasely surprised and asked my why is did this for her. I explained, she told me to watch more of your videos! Why,… we have a Hugh garden.
Always badass Dusty. Can’t tell you how many times your voice has been in my head as I’m welding on this 66 C10 project. No doubt some of the best welding education in the industry🔥👍🏼🔥
You have beautiful welds and a great attitude towards teaching people to better themselves in welding. You are handing down your knowledge for future generations. I'm 50 and still enjoy watching and learning. Keep up the great work and teaching.
Dusty, thank you. I'm so looking forward to signing up and taking your class this winter once I clear a bunch of projects this fall. I'm taking a much needed break on projects now as I'm just so tired of the heat this summer. In the meantime, I'm binge watching and re-watching your videos in the comfort of the cool A/C. 👍👍😎👍👍
Wow thanks for listening to my comment and making a video about this. Very helpful. I was trying to weld the opposite way (i.e. over the pipe instead of in front of the pipe) as you were doing. I think bending the rod is a good tip. I was awful at this at first but am slowly getting better. The more I practice I've been doing the better I am and making corrections to the torch as I move a long the pipe.
The tip for bending the filler rod out to keep your hand out of the way made a huge difference for visibility for me. Thanks for the great video as always
Nice work love how u haven't hidden ur stop starts quick buff gone good tips I rotate from left to right with riser to keep torch angle constant. Love ya work inspiration to us all. Love how u show what ppe to use too. Alli no good made me feel wierd for a bit couldn't put my finger on it respiratory protection key. Chur legend as allways
I’ve been a Ali tig welder 16 years now . Welded for Aston Martin . Harley Davidson ..Airbus . and Ryanair the list goes on .... very good weld 👍 be good see it on 1.2m 🤣🤣🤣👍
Very nice job. Glad to have you back, even if it was a short video. Enjoy all your welding. I learn something new every time. Thank you. Take Care and Stay Safe. Bob
Dusty, your videos are very inspirational. Tig welding is difficult to do after carpal tunnel surgery. You make it look easy.keep up the badass videos. 😎
Nicely done. How about an extreme fillet challenge. Fillet weld a fuel injector bung (extruded aluminum) into hole drilled into an intake manifold runner (cast aluminum).
Wish you had done this the other month. Just completed an adult L2 TIG aluminium welding course (UK) and had to do this as one of my test welds on ally where it was destructive tested for penetration, this would of been a help when I started.
Just binged most of your videos! Just picked up tig welding to help fabricate custom parts for my 78 camaro drag car build on my channel. Tons of info! Really enjoy how in depth you explain things, any chance of doing some lift or scratch start tig welding? As some of us don’t have HF start
Very nice. When I started doing aluminium round parts it was a bitch. Trying the follow the contour of the part while keeping the bead/fillet in the same place and trying to the tungsten close. All this whilst tying to keep some consistency in the bead. It does just all come together with practice but a lot of practice. These days I can even tig standing up with pedal whilst wrapping myself round an awkward part 😂😂. I like the bent rod trick! I’d kinda developed a method of moving back and keeping my head to the side to stop myself head butting the rod as I come round. I weld towards me sort of thing. I’ll give you method a go, it’s good! Also can tell you’ve perfected a good method as you know exactly where to light back up as you restart the bead to keep consistency. That’s one of those advanced things that a lot of people don’t realise. Nice work and a definite subscribe from me.
Very cool man, now you’ll have to step up to the stem after you’ve used the lathe for those angle glass cone issues; oh where were we tig welding.......yes ✌🏽🇦🇺
Really enjoying your videos. I do have one question because I’ve seen you do it a lot and it contradicts some of what I’ve learned on other channels. Why don’t you let the post flow cool down the end of each bead? I can see where it grays out each time you stop and from what I’ve learned, that can be minimized by increasing post flow and ensuring you don’t pull away too soon. Awesome videos!!
The grey spots are from the cleaning action on re-start. Aluminium is such a good heat conductor that it cools plenty quick enough without gas post flow. Look at the "button" at the end of the final pass. Nice & shiny! Completely different to Stainless Steel which is probably what you're thinking of.
I always set my tungsten stick out so that I can drag my cup against both pipes and I keep my rod in the puddle, even when I stop to reposition. PS. I do suck at dabbing, I always hit my tungsten. This technic gives a food-grade weld, plus it's cool to have your rod sticking out of your bead. I tell people that I paint with "hot lava"
Would love to see a shot of you torch hand and general position for this. Did you manage to get round in just 5 sections? Will definatley be trying with a bent filler, thanks for the tip.
I weld almost all the time .065 SS tubing. I do a lot of coped T joints. My biggest problem is undercutting. Would be nice to see a video on this issue. Thanks
Decent welds. I have an extra problem. I only use a thumb switch. I still get great welds because I've been doing it 25 years. But I foot pedal would be so nice
Dustin awesome video. You r welding so good. I cant find a video on TH-cam that some one weld and have a camera looking at his pedal while welding. I want to see how to use the pedal right according to whats going on on the bench. How to modulate the foot the right way. If you need an idea for your next video, please think about it. I would appreciate it. Thank you
Great job ! Now stick an open can a beer in that pipe and stick a whole chicken over it. Place it on a grille with lid closed. Cook for an hour or so. Best chicken there is.😁👍
Absolutely love your videos! Super new to Welding. Couple questions; Do you have any videos explaining your indoor welding setup for fume extraction? I live in Minnesota and am concerned about my argon and c25 bottles being stored in the cold in my un-heated garage.
I do remember him talking about his setup in one vid regarding fumes and whatnot but I don't know which one. Also the first weld shop I worked at stored their gas cylinders outside when not hooked up to a machine ,this is in southern Ontario all year round.
@@mikeyamashi awesome thanks for the reply. Yeah I had a feeling he probably covered it already but I have been watching a ton of his videos and haven't come across it yet. Thanks for the info on the shop you worked at. That makes me feel a little better about this upcoming winter. Cheers!
I’m trying to weld 1.6mm alloy with 1.6 tungsten and 1.6 filler rods, I’m in a wheelchair and can’t use a pedal , how can I maintain good heat but without it heating up too much as I go along and blowing out??
Is there a reason not to use a table that can rotate, ( by pedal for instance) or would this mean grounding issues and or not having the piece properly centered?
@RK. I built a 3'x3' table of cast with a steel potters wheel with shallow grooves machined in it with a lathe to make centering easy. The ground is provided by flat flexible battery cable held taut on the shaft under the table by a spring. Motion is provided by the left foot moving the "kick wheel". It works great.
I have to do exactly this at work, as well as some corner to corner welds on 10ga. I can only set amps with no pedal, what's the best way to go about this?
I looooove your videos, they are awsome and i learn so much from you... Maybe you can show me how to tig weld aluminum without tig pedal? I dont have pedal and i have problems with heat building... Thanks and stay awsome:)
I appreciate you watching!

It’s interesting how your ART is backed up by so much solid fundamental welding technique
Thanks!
Yes please on the aluminum fillet weld video!
You have a great teaching style! I like how you focus on the technique how to start and hold ect. Simple and logical.
Good tip on the filler rod 💯
Great Instructional Video !! 🤗

🤔🤔That would be fun actually…
I've been TIG welding for thirty years still learning stuff, thanks great content
Just learning to tig, and watching you helps out
Your welds are sick ! Thanks for the filler wire tip
Very nice job. Glad to have you back, even if it was a short video. Enjoy all your welding. I learn something new every time. Thank you.
Take Care and Stay Safe.

I want to see what "insane with anger" Dusty looks like. Prob just says "Oh Darn" and moves on. Love your videos.
Hahahaha 👌 man! Totally accurate! He's such a kind badass huh! That's why I knew his channel/brand would grow immensely
Great video, thanks Dusty.
Would definitely appreciate that aluminium version of the ‘how to’ video.
Thanks again!
thankyou Dusty. great video! I want to learn how to tig. thanks again Andy
many many years of welding to get to that perfection keep it up man your work is great.
Thanks so much my friend. I appreciate you watching 🤙
Thank you so much for making this channel. I have learned so much already. Learning more with every video.
I appreciate you watching so much. Cheers my friend 🙏
Psh, bending the filler.... brilliant!
Dude, I do that all the time with smaw but never thought to do that while tigging, thanks!
New subscriber.
Thanks for your videos man. Really helps out
Grazie come sempre Polveroso!
You are SUCH a good welder!
Great video Bro. Your video content has always been great. And your video and audio quality started good and has gotten even better.
Nicely done. How about an extreme fillet challenge. Fillet weld a fuel injector bung (extruded aluminum) into hole drilled into an intake manifold runner (cast aluminum).
Man I struggle with bungs, in just steel lol.
They key is to keep the heat towards the thicker part.
idk id this counts but i did something similar, -16 AN fitting into a pretty thin cast aluminum thermostat housing
Your a pro! Thanks for the tutorial once again.
Would definitely like to see a fillit weld on some aluminum. Also would be nice to see some AN fittings welded to flat plate
Looks mint! I love your channel by the way....it has helped me out a ton while learning to TIG weld over the last few months.👌🏻
You're a champion
Never noticed the DEP hat before... guess I'll have to play them when I'm welding today!
I saw it for the first time today as well.. it's a shame they're no longer
Great video. Been welding for years and still get a lot out of these, keeping my game sharp! Thank you keep it up!
Excellent advice 💯💪🇺🇸
YES Please...aluminum example would be nice.
Nice... very reassuring. Keep it up. Please.
Nice, thanks for the tips.
Awesome video once again!! Thank you!!
Very good video 😄👍✨
Thank you
Great work Dustin 🤘
Yes I'd like to see one with aluminum
Excellent
Nice looking welds cuz!
Wish you had done this the other month. Just completed an adult L2 TIG aluminium welding course (UK) and had to do this as one of my test welds on ally where it was destructive tested for penetration, this would of been a help when I started.

Dude, I'd love to see you weld up your own welding mask, that fits factory inserts of your choice.
Very nice. When I started doing aluminium round parts it was a bitch. Trying the follow the contour of the part while keeping the bead/fillet in the same place and trying to the tungsten close. All this whilst tying to keep some consistency in the bead.

Nice work and a definite subscribe from me.
Had to do this same weld in two passes with zero penetration to the inside of the pipe and full penetration to the bottom for a certification I did
Great video Thanks
Very cool man, now you’ll have to step up to the stem after you’ve used the lathe for those angle glass cone issues; oh where were we tig welding.......yes ✌🏽🇦🇺
Yes make an aluminium tig welding one!
Can you do a training vid on setting up a Yesweld 250P W/Water cooler hook up and welding 1” Square tube 1/8 “ wall?
6:21 how strong are those parts and have you find some thermal deformation?
Really enjoying your videos. I do have one question because I’ve seen you do it a lot and it contradicts some of what I’ve learned on other channels.

@@MidEngineering AH! Gotcha! Thanks for the reply.
Hey Dusty, nice video!
I would be keen to see an Alui fillet, maybe in 1/8".
Cheers Aaron.
Easy job
That Everlast machine looks exactly like my R-tech machine. I think they are actually the same thing.
Dusty
Do you use pulse when welding
Nice weld
Yes it does especially if I fling that off and lands in my lap
Where abouts on the island are you? And you mentioned that you do classes?
Awesome! Thank you sir
Thanks for this. Could you show a fillet weld around a fishmouthed tube?
I always set my tungsten stick out so that I can drag my cup against both pipes and I keep my rod in the puddle, even when I stop to reposition. PS. I do suck at dabbing, I always hit my tungsten. This technic gives a food-grade weld, plus it's cool to have your rod sticking out of your bead. I tell people that I paint with "hot lava"
Also can you explain how hertz makes a difference to ac welding
Would love to see a shot of you torch hand and general position for this. Did you manage to get round in just 5 sections? Will definatley be trying with a bent filler, thanks for the tip.
nice :) lets some some 4130 action :)
I weld almost all the time .065 SS tubing. I do a lot of coped T joints. My biggest problem is undercutting. Would be nice to see a video on this issue. Thanks
Yes, please.... I'm killing myself trying filler welds on aluminum.
I need to weld aircraft fittings on a plate for a breather box for a car project!
Would you possibly do one with a thin wall stainless tube? Mainly what i do at work but cant quite nail the consistency.
Decent welds. I have an extra problem. I only use a thumb switch. I still get great welds because I've been doing it 25 years. But I foot pedal would be so nice
Hey Dusty, a quick question what would be a good tig bench setup I'm looking for a bench and not sure what I should be looking for.
Thanks
What material is that ??
2:30 Is this really how you hold your torch?
Dustin awesome video. You r welding so good.
I cant find a video on TH-cam that some one weld and have a camera looking at his pedal while welding. I want to see how to use the pedal right according to whats going on on the bench. How to modulate the foot the right way. If you need an idea for your next video, please think about it. I would appreciate it.
Thank you
Do u ever walk the cup
I’m learning this in a class and I keep burning through my piping. Is the method more about foot control on gas pedal?
tungsten bias gets me from now and then ! do I keep the angle consistant and move in to the pipe or do I focus the arc ?
Great job ! Now stick an open can a beer in that pipe and stick a whole chicken over it. Place it on a grille with lid closed. Cook for an hour or so. Best chicken there is.😁👍
Is there a reason why you pulled the torch out so quickly at the end of your welds ? I thought you keep the torch in for your post flow.
Never welded before, but shouldn’t there be penetration on the inside of the tube?
Also, aluminum and stainless looks so awesome when done like you do it, but can you make steel look almost as good ?
Absolutely love your videos!
Super new to Welding.

I spin it on a turn table
Oh it happens
I’m trying to weld 1.6mm alloy with 1.6 tungsten and 1.6 filler rods, I’m in a wheelchair and can’t use a pedal , how can I maintain good heat but without it heating up too much as I go along and blowing out??
I think this would be more challenging with the pipe in the horizontal position like the 6g test would be. Prolly what the challenge was about
Is there a reason not to use a table that can rotate, ( by pedal for instance) or would this mean grounding issues and or not having the piece properly centered?
Yeah, may be tough to center, but with proper setup grounding is all good:)🤙
@RK. I built a 3'x3' table of cast with a steel potters wheel with shallow grooves machined in it with a lathe to make centering easy.

I struggle alloy welding only tube to flat plate welding around the tube watching your video. help me
If they were a large hole in the plate what would be the setting and procedures?
