Your videos helped me actually be critical of what i was doing. Hope to be certified these coming months💪🤝

My son is a welder and was trying to explain this all to me and told me to watch your video. Very helpful and you seem like a great teacher!!

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I haven’t welded in two years, and I’m itching to get back after it! A lot of things in this video brought up memories of experiencing running lots of 3G’s. Thank you again.

I'm currently doing this test at school right now except it's with a 1 inch plate. I'm having the hardest time, it's like I forgot how to weld. So thank you for this.

Amperage depends on the size of the electrode your using. 7018-1/8 electrodes are run at about 100 amps. In this video he’s using 3/32 rods at about 85 amps. But always play around with the settings up/down because if other people are welding around you and drawing on the same power source, it might be what’s causing problems also. Hope this helps.

In canada we have the cwb test. There 2 place where you need to do a stop start. They actually test these stop starts

Something to consider, if you can use power tools, on the fill passes don’t strike ahead. Light up behind where you stopped and grind off that high start. You don’t have to worry about burning out your start when you do that. It doesn’t work on the cap passes because you’ll have a grind mark on the cap then.

Hi, I have a question, if I have half rod that I have used before the mechanical strength of the joint will be the same or lower than the previous weld done with a new stick? I know that in some factories half used rod are thrown away for this reason

I appreciate the video. It's really hard to find one as detailed as this one. I've been practicing for my test coming up. The only thing that was different is the guys hasn't told me anything about a backing bar. Maybe we don't do that here in Indiana. I wish we did though because how you put your first pass in is way different than the way I've been told to do it...? Hmm

Great job sir. Excellent tutorial. Tip the camera guy!

Interested in getting into welding: was wondering what that squeeky noise during the welding is? Only heard it in a few of the welding vids I've watched and wondered if it was maybe static reaching the mic or something else

I wanted to see the bend test 😊but also good notes ,,

I'm new to welding but I don't know how to configure the welding machine in 2g because the rod doesn't turn on but if I put it on the table it does turn on

Does the D1.1 expire? I’ve taken it years ago and I can’t find a valid until date on my paperwork.

Why no video of the finished cap?

How do you get the backing strap off for testing?

for your cap, was it just a Straight Pass or Whip & Pause?

Before coming to🇺🇸 in my country🇲🇽 we do all welding test with open root never we use a backing plate for welding test

Please do 4G next!!!🙏🙏🙏
