do you dab the filler rod into the puddle like you would on a pad bead? or do you just leave the filler in place and just walk over the filler?

If your teacher doesent know about walking the cup, then they arent teaching. Just saying.

Is that stainless filler rod youre using? The rainbow patina sorta reminds me of stainless is all

thats great thecnique. i was just wondering why dont you use a bit more amp on the second pass? i always heard that makes a better fusion. does it ruin the properties of the metal? what do you think?

[kazodrummer]

you have the best welding videos!!!! thank you so much for your hard work!

[spinnerr]

Thankyou Jody, that was a great video ... I love the closeups of the welding action ...

[nickolaguez]

Er70s2? Your such a bad ass jody. Switch up and go left. Good idea on welding to an edge instead of from. Never thought of that

[deonnieuwoudt]

Thanks mate! Can't wait for my Tig finger to arrive in NZ...

[spelunkerd]

Oh, yeah, one more question. Do you use a bright light to illuminate the field of view to try and reduce the high contrast that happens when you strike an arc?

Thanks.

Hi, Jody. I'm interested in how you get such a good video of the welding puddle. Are you setting the video camera in manual exposure mode, or do you use auto exposure? Do you use autofocus? Do you protect your camera lens from splatter and light with a welding lens on the camera? Does your welding lens over the camera have an autodarkening feature?

Thanks Jody another great vid I LOVE THEM

[LS1Cobra]

Love your videos, very informative to a novice welder like me. I wish I'd seen this video a few weeks back as I did my first overhead TIG weld. A very awkward angle to work on and difficult to find a good place to rest your torch hand against. I went free hand as I haven't done much "walking the cup" but if I had seen this vid i probably would have got a much better result.
