Too many damn experts on the comments page. Listen to what the man is saying and if you disagree share your input or make your own video. Don't start name calling, because all the man is doing is sharing his knowledge.  I don't know much about iron work or welding, but in my field the cocky ones tend to get killed. Good videos, thanks for sharing!

We call it earth also in the UK (where English was invented). He is from England, so i guess that explains it.

WARNING those Overalls/Coveralls he is wearing are British Army Mechanics ones they are NOT flame or fire proof and if exposed to any heat or sparks they will melt and stick to you just like a shell suit. After serving for some 16 years in the British Army as a Vehicle Mechanic I have first hand experience of this plus I am also a qualified Welder-Fabricator. There are some far better videos on here please do not take all this person is saying as gospel, take a look at weldingtipsntricks on here

It is not advisable to do MIG or (GMAW)welding in the wind.

Innershield or( FCAW) process would be the correct choice outdoors.

German dialect, which is a mixture of Low German + Danish + Celtic + Latin + Normon French + Spanish + Greek = all came together in Britain making it English. If had been "invented somewhere else it would be called German or Swahili or maybe Japanese......

@west7productions Wow, what a smartass.

@Tatjana007 Not to burst your obviously well informed intellect, but English was not "invented" in England. It is actually German dialect, which is a mixture of Low German + Danish + Celtic + Latin + Normon French + Spanish + Greek = English.

Usually Carbon Dioxide for mild steel. Basically the gass forms an inert shield around the weld to stop it from oxidising. I understand that it also has an active function to give deeper weld penetration.
