  • why dont you guys make one long video instead of many short once spread out

  • You should use the angle not as you like, but what it is for. When you are pushing the metal you get less penetration because youare pointing to a cold area. If you do it on an inverse angle you get more penetration. If you go to the middle you get an average penetration.

  • lol, he called the torch a mig gun.

  • By cosmetically good looking, he means like his beard

  • @citydriver its probably because each video gets lots of views so if they had one big video they would have less views rather than having a bunch of smaller videos

  • @citydriver It actually has to do with Youtube and subscription costs. That and the shorter, less then 3 minute videos get you to go directly to their site in order for them to get hits and money. These are just a couple of the reason's.

  • @bozzza69 Well, that's obvious. lol But you can make it look good and not have enough penetration. Remember, someone who might not know how it works might think it looks good, but it may not be.

  • @Cstrife234 Genraly speaking if it looks good it is good

  • Bah who cares if it looks good. As long as it holds, I couldn't give a shit.

  • sloanert123: MIG? GMAW? and FCMAW or do you know what that is? if not its flux core metal arc welding. look it up. anyway, metal inert gas welding? really? its minorly explosive? sorry, let me correct you, there are reactive and inert gasses. And first off. If you want to have a career in welding learn all the real things, and don't forget the weld symbols. welding symbols and blueprints are. THE most important thing ever, besides a how to read a tape measure. So learn that then your good
