[ljwartuk]

thanks for reply's i needed to weld something but didnt want to leave all the weld on needed to be neat...new to this so may have been a stupid question but if ur dont know ,,ya dont know

[ljwartuk]

can this weld be ground down afterwards??anybody!

[TheBilgus]

@ljwartuk Well ya....

[kstinson]

@ljwartuk I am not a professional welder but If your doing things like body work it is perfectly acceptable to grind. If you are building something meant to be structural in nature I would refrain from grinding and rather setup the joint so the welds do not interfere with any other parts of the structure.

Always wear pants.

[CCSinventions]

off topic but what jind of tractor is that?

[MangoHombre]

Is that a Fairlane I see back there? :-) 390? 427?  Oh, yeah... nice welding.

[Slayer66642]

This is MAG welding since your welding with an active gas that reacts in the weld.

(The co2 is split up in Carbon, which binds with the metal and Oxiden, which binds with several elements in the wire.)

Mig welding is for aluminum because it is weld with only pure argon (or helium)

which are Inert gasses who dont react with the weld.

Nice tricks btw

[lars0101010]

Thank you. I'm going to do a weekend project and this was the perfect tutorial to give me the basics.

[bobbobmarley27]

love it

[QQTrick1QQ]

Nice bead but fail at 2:50 weld, totaly missed the joint.

Or is it only 1st pass?

[glblb3030]

good tips

[mitchtavio]

You should also be filling in your craters at the end of your welds.

[mrwiggles2]

Like the Ford in the background. Good welding job.

Good video.  I wouldn't say to avoid welding overhead though. I know what you mean but how do you get good if you avoid it? Peace!

[littlestworkshop]

That's a really useful video thanks.

Just FYI, the sound seems to be mono only.
