Watch Stick Welding from The Welders Lens Home Study Course

[HitachiHenemaru]

I noticed that this video was from 2008, do you still use that speedglas helm or did you upgrade to the newer one?

[cutout69]

I meant to say use a rolling ground clamp!

[cutout69]

how many times did u arc strike the inside of the pipe from using a rolling ground clamp!!! Dummy! you couldn't fit a sharp stike up a dead dogs ass and please learn how to properly weld before putting videos on you tube and embarrassing yourself!!!!

[cowboy4219]

thats why u don't let welders fit lol

[Rcflyer553]

Ggggg sounds pretty good don't it haha lmao

[randinoble]

suprised you didnt try a 2 hole that fit up !!

[psychetron762]

Kudos to you sir, for wearing safety glasses.

[ztetnies]

Auto darkening helmets are a god send. Trust me he isn't kidding its a small stick you gotta keep in place. The worse thing you could do is miss the gap, and weld on the piece its self.. But mig is usually easier but the helmet still come in handy.

[USPhotoRecon]

will welding hardened steel on an old ford pickup truck frame weaken it? if so would it weaken it allot or an acceptable amount?

[ztetnies]

@USPhotoRecon Depends what type of welding your doing, and what your welding, gap? metal to metal? etc.

[way2easy2love]

to much talking

[m1n1moto1]

hello do your prefer mig welding to arc

[airjapsp]

which electrode are you using? What is your tolerance?

[airjapsp]

what gauge are you welding?

[Rtfarmer87]

@godsmack no it wont

[hilo5555]

SCAM ALERT!!! this guy is a idiot!! WHO HITS A FLANGE W A HAMMER! WTF!!

THEY DONT SEAL IF YOU BANG ON THEM!

Btw m tread Does not give refunds on his videos he sells. But he does give a lot of bad advice you will have to unlearn. Things that lead to failed weld inspections. i know because ive seen and done it correctly. I dont have problems

I'D LOVE TO HAVE HIM SHOW CURRENT CERTIFICATIONS. I doubt he can produce them.

[BtG1647]

@hilo5555 your an idiot pipe flanges use a high grade rubber teflon sea to compensate for informalities in the metal also i've never seen a guy weld without using a hammer to level the metal but i can say he didn't adjust his gap properly to compensate for the shrinking of the weld as it cools

[dougspair]

@hilo5555 I've done a good bit of flange work...I only use a copper hammer there..and 6016 for root is usually required...I don't know what this guy is using..but most all the 6010 (5P) is sort of red..

[dougspair]

@dougspair ..I meant to say 6010 there...not 6016..which doesn't exist

[dougspair]

@dougspair ..This guy sells videos...? I'm 64...been in-out of welding for 30+years...I still don't know everything, but this guy doesn't seem that professional, compared to others I see on here with learning demonstrations...Especially with the car sitting right there...swarf from abrasives, sparks getting on windows...just my opinion of course... Then I thought he said something about 'buttering' up the root bead...you won't usually be doing any buttering on a root bead...

[hilo5555]

[Schutterspeloton]

So no welding gets done in this video

[godsmack8807]

to beat an arc burn on x-ray just get a welding rod wet and rub it across the burn. the flux will hide it from x-ray lol.

[Nicolai4973]

dont u get a electric chok if u touch the welding rod?

[wack0zacko94]

@Nicolai4973 Technically yes, but the amps is so low you will barely feel it, sticking your tongue on a battery and getting that tingle will be more of a shock :D

[2thoma27]

You are welding far too hot! I could do that root at 60. The colder you weld the less porosity etc you get. A hammer is not a scientific measure. I'd have this tacked in seconds. You're not a pro welder.

[prblack10]

@2thoma27 I would like to see you weld there chief.  You have know clue what you are talking about. The best welders I have seen burn very hot. This guy seems like a good pipefitter/welder.

[wabbles323]

@2thoma27 yeah u can if ur using 2.5mm rods

[teampnirules]

@2thoma27 You're just scared of keyholing. Practice up and you'll be putting in root passes that actually tie in instead of just sitting on the lands.

[teampnirules]

@2thoma27 You're just scared of keyholing. get a little more practice with higher amperage and you'll put in root passes that actually tie in instead of just piling up on the lands.

[burningeyes101]

less talk more weld

[hangoutsumtime]

I got a arc inverter. Im wondering if i should run 6011 on DCEN? thanks, very nice vids btw

[28tonybr]

This is good I'm just started in the field.

[co2010mw]

geek

[sz42781]

USE YOUR PLUMBERS EYE

[cramner2]

at 4:05 you blew threw. turn the heat up lol,.jackass.i've stick welded one time and i can hear that

[sz42781]

one time I was welding schedual 5 stainless 100 ft underwater and I struck the arc outside the path and I got my check.

[docstruthers]

@sz42781 at least you're still here

[tangnatalaga]

It gets boring cuz the video does not get to the point right away. Too many talking and all that.

[yourfirstmate]

Never Ever hit a Flange with a steel Hammer, use rubber or hit a piece of wood.Otherwise the flange will not seal!!

Besides that good video

[Xelicy]

dno how it is on a flange but on other crap a copper hammer is fine aswell

[Broo566]

hes not hitting the face.

[redlizzardpoker]

take your time to do shit rite

[waughwelds]

one question does it really take 9.38 to take a flange on?

[waughwelds]

is this guy a joke

[holbertshawn85]

That sound reminds me of when u put a seashell to your ear

[arnoldii2]

i don't know what yall are talking about, but there is clearly a guard on that grinder. Look at it while it'd on the stand.

[arnoldii2]

*it's

[66665555]

i didnt see any real safety problems as stated they may be on there for a reason but somebody who has used a grinder extensivly knows that littl space is never good enough grind everything lotta times you gotta manipoulate the grinder and with that shield p.i.t.a if you as me.

[drfeelnothing]

AS for guards on handgrinders...they are put on at the factory for legal reasons...in the real world you cannot get into anywhere with the things on.

[vt9205]

and there is a legal reason because of security reason

[Jumseu]

i want a tool shed like his...

[tragicalmagic]

GOOD GOD!!! CAREFUL WITH THAT GRINDER MAN!!! I kept waiting to see you cut your own hand off.

[assark0182]

lol seen your comment and didnt watch the video yet i thought yeah your cool buit when i seen him grinding i got was like wow

[Jumseu]

how bad is it??..

[Jumseu]

WHOAH WHOAH WTF!!!.....his gloves are ripped from it...

[assark0182]

its scary like cut off hand scary

[mythernal]

They make gaurds for those grinders for a reason!!!!

[hexcastanonjr]

you almost cut your hand with the grinder.

[scottmrkr]

instead of using framing square to check squareon sides wouldn't be easer to turn 90 degree and level , replum the piece you are working on?

[mdtread]

Hello Len,

I can weld and do just about anything. Scranton is a long way

from Wyoming. Is it a coal fired plant?

I graduated from Local 28 Boilermakers Union years ago so I had some good training, then got out on my own working my own rig truck in the oil patch in Wyoming. I am a Pastor of a Church as well so it is pretty hard for me to travel and just pick up and go. What are they paying in Steamtown. What are you working on? What type of project is it? Look forward to hearing back from you.

[Conrail6370]

Very interesting video. Where are you from? We need a good welder on Project 565 at Steamtown NHS. Scranton, PA. Do you now how to use cutting torches too?

Len.

[mdtread]

Thanks Tom, I don't remember cutting open my glove on this one. Maybe I nicked it or something. I did not feel it on my hand.

[tombardier]

Some good info. It looked like you managed to cut your glove open with the grinder though!

[pridemel]

Thanks for the info I like how you gave a blow by blow. Thanks again.

I am a 1st year welding student it was helpful

[csking666]

Some good info. We have a pipe fitter here today working on some 8" and I had no clue what the framing squares were for. I do now. I learned some stuff with your clips which is always good. Thanks for posting these vids

[mdtread]

No problems what so ever.

It doesn't work to well with the tig but the upgraded version of the 3 m speedglass does.

The one I am wearing is the fixed shade 10. Hormel 3 M is the best of the best. I have tried them all.

[sada3393]

@mdtread you ever use a fronius? i am interested in their welding helmets

[gdogau]

@mdtread hi the miller elite is ALOT better than ANY speedglass...in price and performance

[Thatsallfoks01]

How is that helmet for overhead?

[robreex]

nice vids very helpful for a new welder out ther

[secretsquirrell13]

i worked for a company that was a ball buster about having the bevel at a 37 degree angle and square, so after alot of yelling and being threatened to be fired i can slap a bitchen bevel on a 12 in carbon steel pipe in 5 min. but i plan on welding soon so now i can bitch at the help for not getting it right!

[mdtread]

Thanks

[joeboxeer]

ha thats pretty cool. good job man, im gonna be a journeymen when im about 24 :D im gon' be the best haha

[mdtread]

You know that is really funny.

[dezttripador]

what is the perfect electrode to use on a root , hot ,filler and cap?1/8 gap.Thanks, cool videos.

[mdtread]

That just depends on what your welding on and what code you weld under.

Usually some type of fast freeze rod or tig possible mig on the root. Same with the fill or for sure the hot pass.

Usually on the cap with fast freeze root or tig root will be a 7018 cap and could be on the mig as well or some type of flux core cap with mig possibly. Really just depends.

[mdtread]

I like the screen name. WillieWonka!

[WillieWonka928D]

Nice lincoln "buzz box" like my uncle calls them. I'm more of a Miller guy but Lincoln's really too

[WillieWonka928D]

Lincolns Really nice too. Sorry about that.

[konabiker9]
