[how2krushkings]

One step closer to attaining the official man card

-Learn to Weld- *check

[phnxrain]

LOL great video ! Thanks !

[alwayslongboard]

could i make buggy frame out of it

[jortve95]

Could you please make a video to show how to weld with electrode? :)

Need some tips, because the school i goes on, sign me up for a welding competition :)

Hope for tips!

Nice vid, great tips!!

[snakebelly420]

Thinking of going to school for welding can anyone tell me what they thought about it??

[beavis6363]

4:46 to get to the point.

[wroughtirondude]

I wish I had a Hobart. Don't buy a lincoln. Nice vid fellas

[wraptorman700]

Do i need a safety helmet to watch this video?

[Nickydoodle2222222]

nice video. very imformative.

[fernandinhofcb]

is there a .032 brass rod

[thehighstrung]

I think you guys are assuming we know more than we do. You told us to set those dials but you didn't say what they are for. Also, where are you supposed to place the ground? How close or far is it supposed to be from the work area? Is the ground supposed to be directly on the piece you are working on or can it be somewhere else on the car that touches that piece? If you are working on a car do you run the rist of blowing up the gas tank if it is metal? Please explain.

[ankofon]

so.. zombie barricade approved?

[Okinawapajero]

What would you suggest as the best/cheapest mig welder to buy for someone with 0 welding experience? Also do you NEED to use an inert gas? What happens if you don't use any?

[TheSeanman23]

This is a very informative video,thanks, but I still have yet to get a welder and helmet.

[xrillo281]

iHope i dont get flash burn -__- lol .

[ageshero]

English?

[raneve23]

What's the model number of that machine

[evilestloki]

Not a bad video but I would suggest 30-40 cfm on the gas pressure and perhaps a little more detail on machine settings as opposed to "well the weld didn't break so its a good weld" bit. :-D

[vivalaresistanc]

Why do you want to remove the rust before you start working on the piece of metal?

[motorztv]

@vivalaresistanc The metal has to be clean of everything before you can weld it. That especially includes rust.

[JonnyFawkinBoy]

@vivalaresistanc so u have a clean weld the cleaner it is the better it adheres

[KingOfTheBeyond23]

All I need now is the welding m'chine.

[huwbertoo]

I thought it was great, fairly cheesy but I found it entertaining and informative and I'm guessing that's the purpose of this video, awesome work. Subscribed :)

[138fishers]

What's with all the haters? They're welders, not professional TV hosts. Good job guys, thank you.

[biazzio]

great ideal here, welding has changed since grandfathers time and now it is attainable by just about anyone with the ability to learn. If you want to do a video series or specialized welding from the most basic to High frequency Aluminum, give me a call. I have taught people to weld for the past 20 years, and have many individuals working in the trade. Excellent public speaker, and with a flexable schedule.

[DonzoacPvP]

I'm a freshman - and going to take Welding... Any tips on beginner stuff? If so please inbox me (: Will Subscribe to you.

[HeadSHOT604]

@DonzoacPvP It's not hard you just need to practice to get it right to make a flat nice weld weave back and forth in a arc, and practice before doing a real job.

[dippidop]

Hmmm... amazing that he can weld motorz so well, yet mysteriously forgot how to weld for this video.

I found this quite informative, but Extremely cheesily presented.

[motorztv]

@dippidop Thanks for the feedback. It is definitely meant to be an overview of how to weld, letting the average Joe know what is involved from the equipment and safety standpoint, then giving them a quick intro to actual welding. We hope to have more in-depth episodes in the future showing different techniques.

[dippidop]

@motorztv

The content of it is excellent, but saying each others name alot, pretending not to know anything when you clearly do and asking questions when you know the answer is just annoying.

Its much better if you explain it, rather than play the "i know nothing, please tell me" person.

Instead of Person A saying "whats this and how do i do it?" then person B saying "well person A, this is so and so......." Just introduce it to the viewer and explain it.

Thats my thoughts anyway.

[246goku]

the real deal where's the penetration? that's what matters, is not the welder is the machine, not enough power.he needs a multiplaz 3500

[moufolie2]

interesting video, but i have to admit the entrance of Brian Karas made me laugh and i dunno why lol

[oSHOLLIVERo]

thumbs up if you think chris can really weld better than that other goofy fucker

[alfa999er]

shows and movies...blow torch and helmet

real life... wtf

[motorztv]

@alfa999er What does that mean exactly?

[alfa999er]

@motorztv in shows and movies, it looks simple... blow torch and mask. I am trying to learn how to weld like a pro, and i never understood how much of an art it really is. If you weld a lot, you will probably understand what all of this means, ... but not for a newbie

[soccaman847]

@alfa999er this is MIG welding not traditional welding....

[overkill1123456789]

@alfa999er yea what the hell does that mean..?

[syedfathi]

Thank you.Really help!

[vampire847]

YAY now when i get money to buy the equipment i can learn how to weld=3

[BeansCanTalk]

sun burn and slags sound great to me!

[KWELOFTHEFIRST1]

THE MACHINE WAS NOT DILED IN RIGHT ON PART TWO BUT IT WAS AT FIRST HE SHOULD HAVE PUSHED INSTED OF PULLING IF HE DIDNT WANT IT TO PENATRATE AS MUCH 

[MontyGarza]

thanks for the video I've been wanting to learn more about welding and this is really helpful on what kind of welder i need for the jobs i want to do

[cubcadet86]

my high school has a class for welding and i have learned every thing from you 

[motorztv]

@LIAMPOOR Glad it was helpful!

[pjayflynn]

4:39 He obviously hasn't been to Ibiza then................

Thumbs up if you agree ;)

[1973mazdarx4coupe]

shit i went to school and got a phd in welding and now its useless !

[asyoulikeitvideos]

Brilliant! I had no idea it was so simple! It's just like soldering (kinda) :)

[avbg2000]

thanks guys.. i've got a welder in my shop that i've been intimidated to try.. i think i'll give it a shot with some scrap metal

[YourBetrayalx3]

yay thanks so much :D

[cndbrn791]

if your heating thru your metal try turning yur speed up leave the voltage where it is , if it's a cold weld turn the speed down a bit, the speed is easier to play with than the voltage.

[ninja6kid]

apparently i'm unsafe, i weld and cut steel barefoot in shorts and a tshirt,ive never worn gloves in my life. i only get burned cause i always forget that whatever i was welding was molten metal only a few seconds ago...long as you know what you're doing you wont have molten metal flying everywhere.

[Horst9090]

hahahah i like ur vids man, thanks for the info, got all the points i needed cheers :)

[mikedballz2]

lmfao turn it all the way or you be leaky , waste

[love44jesus4ever]

if i wanted to do welding as a carer what do u think i should do...just some pointers im 15

[DonToplessBMW]

@love44jesus4ever  First you have to learn how to spellll the word career.

[Paradox043]

Looks useful!

[Fluidrazor]

Of all of the videos I've wanted to watch on yertube, I wanted to watch a welding video. I appreciate essplainin some of the settings and tekneeqs. Will check out more of your videos. Thanks.

[motorztv]

@Fluidrazor Glad you found it... thanks for watching!

[wrestlemaniac202]

I go to school for welding and I di some welding for some people that don't need a certification for that job and we got a saying at my school and that saying is we work behind the mask

[Paradox043]

@wrestlemaniac202 There's a welding school? Where?

[baileys60]

told my boss i could weld...

[delmarian]

@baileys60 and?

[JCVDFan1]

Anyone hiring in the Houston/Galveston region for welders? I'm a certified combination welder and pipe welder

[MiStaVP05]

Excellent video. Just the info I needed

[motorztv]

@MiStaVP05 You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[737Pilot122]

You guys need to move the gun closer to the metal you are welding, you shouldn't hear that popping it should be a constand zzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzz­zzz sound

[goriverde2]

helped me a lot =D thanks

[Stylefree83]

how come its ok to look at the flame in videos but not in real life?

[delmarian]

@Stylefree83 cause whatever screen you watch it on does not give off light that strong.

[mr1derful112]

Holy Shit," Im Blind, Im Blind!!!"

[747pro]

as i see at 7:00, there seems to be almost no penetration. should have put amps up a little more. but if thats the look you were going for, than u did it. but nce bead anyway.

[walperstyle]

lol, force of habit i put my hand over the arc while watching this. haha.

[chevyman95]

hobart handler 140

[AnubisEye009]

once i learn to weld, im so gonna make a tesla coil. buzzz buzzzz you motherfucking flies.

[987bmx987]

@AnubisEye009 olololol

[Tr0llsNeverDie]

brian looks like patric swayze. He put that piece of metal on the swayze train.

[pawlacz7]

all good but where's yours air filter mask ? :D

[carveriscool]

Welding is WAY easier then torching.

[NadehappyxD]

woah...welding takes a lot of shit haha I just wanted to weld some rails for snowboarding but wow thats a lot of requirments!

[TheHondaAbuser]

@NadehappyxD you only need a helmut and a welder.

[949dk]

and som badass gloves som times

[brysonwilliams70]

@TheHondaAbuser AND GLOVES ;0

[KingOfAwesomer]

@brysonwilliams70 honda abuser are you youtube stalking me:) I see your comments everywhere

[waltoglesby]

thats sum really heavy leather for mig weldin

[MrCoolhandmac]

I would throw the whole "paintball" tank outta your little video. Don't give any dummies any ideas. Use the right tank, regulator and gas mix.

[motorztv]

I hear ya! However it's something that Hobart wanted to make sure I mentioned as it is a viable option for welders on the go.

[ie4evafulevas]

how much do welders get paid

[motorztv]

Google "welders pay" and you'll find some good answers, including a page at Yahoo answers with a lot of good comments.

[ie4evafulevas]

thanks man

[waltoglesby]

depends on how much you want to learn you can be a trigger pull and just MIG weld easy or you can tig pipe witch is what im doing now i start tech school last year when i was 17 and still in high school. Im a senior now and been welding 4-6 hours 5 days a week for a year now and all ive covered is stick all positions and mig im just starting tig now purdy much if you got experience you can make 35-40 bucks an hours + per diem (food&living pay) if you wana make the money you gotta work for it

[gazzabrunsden]

@ie4evafulevas

here in AUS welders get between $30 and $45 an hour or you can go to the mines and get over $200,000 a year

[bluenapalm123]

I cant find 6 stars for rating..

Very professional, well spoken and informative.

top notch.

[patrikasLTL]

I want to learn how to make a technical wif' a .50cal machinegun :C

[SthealthRaider]

paintball cilinder??? on welder?? no way and i didnt see it!

[umass22]

I love youtube! Who needs school anymore? I can learn how to do anything I need to do in 15 minutes max. Love it!

[missionkid]

loool man same here same here youtube is my new school

[albeanmagz19]

@umass22 exactly, I was thinking if I will enroll myself to a class in our town who usually teach how to weld, now thanks to this video I should spend the money on the equipment first.. so good marketing I will buy now a Hobart! nice nice I love youtube

[motorztv]

@albeanmagz19 Awesome--glad the video helped!

[BasementBeginnings]

@umass22 Well said, however there are some certain very important things that can only be learned in a specialized learning environment.

[atompkins99]

@umass22 After reading the two top rated comments you just might be right!!

[TheRandomHobbyist]

@umass22 so true lol!

[GarrettJDB]

its like filleting a fish everybody has a different way of doing it

[hughjabutte]

how do you know what voltage and wire speed to put it at

[Jumseu]

i guess it's trial and error then man....

[Mr8trevor8]

it sed it in the vidoe

[GarrettJDB]

some mig welders like this one have a chart on the lid were you open it to get to the spool and Miller makes one the automatically sets the heat and speed

[James667]

This is quality stuff!

[Omega231984]

Looks brand new and HD, I'll definitely add to my How To playlist

[NFSTurbo554]

Heh! Like the Mythbusters themed opening with spelling MOTORZ with a welder

[cogrulesall]

Great show i love it, it is very informative and entertaining. the clips are just the right lenth and keep my attention.

[MeanStang08]

awesomeness abounds as always.. 4A! =D my wifes gonna kill me cause now i NEED one of these welders..  great tips.. great work Chris!

[motorztv]

thanks! was wondering where the show's #1 fan was! LOL Thanks for watching!

[MeanStang08]

you're welcome! ha! work has consumed me, i'm thinking of stopping.. lol

but seriously, these are very good first time welding instructional tips.. i likey..

[STILLENvids]

This is one of the best MOTORZ I've seen, really makes it easy to see what welding is all about, and should hopefully inspire people to give it a try, instead of being scared of it... Imagine all of the projects where welding would have come in handy!

[bigblockmustang]

Cool.. I was told to always turn the bottle to wide open because it's not the cutting torch. Wind can make for a bad weld.

Les

[08scionFM]

You mentioned in part two about how you were having a hard time seeing where to weld your butt weld. My father is a profesional welder and he taught me to use a piece of chalk or a talc stick to trace your weld line and when you strike your arc it will illuminate on the chalk line and you can then see exactly where your going. The small amount of chalk isnt enough to effect the integrity of the weld either. Thanks for the great first time tips as well.

[ReggyRay289]

Why did you disable comments on pt. 2? Great show I was glad you took it slow and showed how to begin. Don't forget about oxy asseteline (how ever you spell it) welding as the cheapest way to start welding.

P.S. So glad to see the Zoot back!

[motorztv]

Thanks for watching, and for your feedback! I disabled comments on part 2 so that all of them can be consolidated on one page... easier for me to manage, and that way everyone can read all the comments in case a question has already been answered.

[ReggyRay289]

Good call, so what are the future plans since you now have a welder? A tube chassis hotrod would be cool like the one in the lates issue of Hot Rod! or some sheet metal work first?

[motorztv]

Good suggestion! We will probably start with something practical, working with sheet metal -- such as a hood or body panel perhaps. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will help us determine where to go next with the welder. We also have a plasma cutter which we'll work with on the show one future episode!

[ddrusa]

how much is it

[motorztv]

ddrusa, check out the MOTORZ TV website's episode notes or Google Hobart Handler 140

[ddrusa]

sure motorztv

[salemcripple]

Good stuff! You should follow this up with techniques on how to upright and overhead weld (since rarely do you actually come across a situation where you can weld on a flat surface lol). Also, you should do a vid on how to restore and paint fiberglass. I'm restoring a 1967 Hydroswift speed boat. As an Automotive tech, i have the mechanical/structural part down easy. But the hull needs some TLC. And i'm clueless when it comes to fiberglass resto.

[powerbook1]

Ah I love the cheezy intro... :) Good 2 videos on welding..thx

[motorztv]

Thanks! It was cheesy, but it was fun to do!

[TheTarrMan]

good video
