  • Your welding is studied very much. I considerably improved when I practiced like you. I do not understand the words in Japanese (Okinawa), but am studied very much just to look.

  • I am an apprentice welder and greatly appreciate these videos they help me learn and practice on my own time as well as at work!

  • Awesome!!!

  • I appreciate the all the info and the time you put into these welding videos and the website.

  • Jody, thanks for your great videos. I find myself watching and re-watching them. I am not a welder by profession but have done some training on TIG, especially aluminium. Just love my welding! I wanted to know what lens filter you are using on your video recorder. I want to take some videos of my own welding and that of a friend. Can you help me with this?

  • I'm always impressed with those pretty welds. And BTW, I bought a TIG finger and that sure as heck makes aluminum easier to deal with. Need to make a "TIG glove" out of that stuff!

  • Thanks, now i understand a lot more about TIG welding. I came here looking for info in stick welding, but now am itching more than ever to get myself a mig or even a tig one day.

  • Thing I've learned from Tig welding is that it helps you watch the puddle a lot more than most other processes. Being able to watch the puddle and learn what the weld wants (to cold/hot, to slow/fast) makes the difference between being able to weld a great looking/penetrating bead rather than being another Joe Smo welder that can lay a bead but isn't the best

  • It sounds to me as though TIG for aluminum is more versatile and maybe a little slower compared to MIG for aluminum. In skilled hands it looks like TIG gives a slightly better appearance. For production work that is doable with both, would MIG be preferable in some situations?

  • @tboost007 Thank you!!
