The guy that taught me to REALLY weld... he handed me a file and a grinder and said: "These are the tools you will use the most. Learn how to use them." 25+ years later... I can confirm. I spend FAR more time grinding and prepping metal for welding than I do on the welds.

@@paulkurilecz4209 Been welding for 10-odd years, easily 80-90% of the job is preparation. Getting the parts you need, breaking (bending) them as/if needed, surface cleaning, work space prep, dry fitting and tacking parts in place to ensure everything fits correctly, replacing parts that don't because someone screwed up somewhere in the chain (happens more than one realizes, usually blame the engineer or CAD person). And then, once everything is together, then you weld out. After welding, you've got more surface cleaning, weld dressing/grinding if required, adding additional parts that could not be added before.... The process just goes on and on depending on how complex or large the part is, but it's very easy for me to say that, as a welder, I spend maybe 10-15% of my working day, actually welding. The rest of the time is spent either inventing new curses while getting parts to fit together, marking parts before assembly, or waiting on parts to be made.

I passed my mechanical engineering apprenticeship 50 years ago. Our welding instructors were brilliant, and prepared us for a lifetime of engineering. Your instructions in this post were spot on, you have weld preparation which often took longer than the welding to do. Having the amps too high can cause undercutting, which can result in a weakened weld. Good post, thank you. 👍

None of it was strictly necessary for the overall point of the video but it really just goes to show the care you take in your craft and definitely sets your work apart. I'm a terrible welder but I spent a lot of time working in a cabinet shop so I can manhandle a DA sander like it's nobody's business. This is such a throwback to that time.

I felt this 😂

As a self-employed landscaper who repairs his own tools and equipment, I've got first-hand experience in how my own bad welds have failed under load (not to mention store-bought stuff that was never welded properly to begin with!), and learning to correct my mistakes. That makes me very frustrated when I see these KZread Shorts/TikTok "welding" videos, and even I, as a self-admitted non-expert, can tell everything they're doing wrong! Which leads me to one very penetrating question: WHY CAN THESE PEOPLE NOT LEARN TO RUN A BEAD!?

Great video. I did tack-up on a cut-to length line so all my welds were removed. I never got the knack of putting down a great bead, but I never get tired of watching a great welder work.

My Grandfather Erik used to be a welder, all the way up to his passing in 2007. I myself am not a welder but I have always wondered what the career is like, this is a great video looking into that. - I would never have thought about adding a bevel but now you showed me, it makes a tone of sense, it kinda reminds of how when you use epoxy, you want to rough up the surfaces to make sure the glue adheres better (a smooth surface = less adhesion thus a joint that can break).

Man, if you ended up with a diploma in welding engineering, metallurgy, appreciation of stress analysis and weld design, you'd be unstoppable. I always respect and admire guys coming off the shop floor who are proud of their craft. As a welding metallurgist, I find them to be best guys when it comes to having a very good handle on structural integrity. Can't weld for shit, but can tell what would happen to your fatigue life if that undercut or porosity isn't addresed. In some applications, grinding of the weld toes and excess weld metal or reinforcement is a must, lest you want to be dealing with stress corrosion cracking in austenitic stainless. Not so important on a carbon steel hardtail rig.

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your online classes for free. I figured I'd watch one and see what I thought and it helped me decide to finally go buy a MIG welder and start learning! 😁

I know it's not welding but all the sanding and stuff too is very helpful as well

For some reason making a groove for the welds that need to be ground off never occurred to me, but it makes so much sense

I like how he spends so much time explaining how to grind it, which can be as important as the weld if it's a cosmetic part.

To be honest, i love working on wood in USA especially Japanese style connection with no glue, nail or screw but when i retired, i stayed in Thailand, woods in here are so expensive it cost me arm & legs & the prices are so outrageous that sometimes there are tiny hole where baby termites had live inside & they excavate it into a powder, i made up my mind to use metal in making household furnitures like a homemade kitchen or bathroom lavatory or sink, metals in Thailand are cheap & everything came out on recycle scrap metal melted & reform it into long 1x2x32 meters in different sizes, this is where i started & learning how to hold an electric welding equipment & connect two metals together by the use of welding electrode, i check every welding channel to learn more & i am fascinated from your program how clean & straight on your work & so organized your metal table is for welding process, thank you for showing me your educational video & subscribe from you channel

Amazing tips here. that miter trick? Simple but mind-blowing.

Thanks for showing the proper welds and methods. I had never taken the welding in those videos seriously, just the “intended” step. And more for the conceptual cuts for the bends to be welded and not for weld technique. Like origami, and making an example fold but nothing in particular and using tape or dot of glue to hold it for the photo op.

wow an amazing job. Full of tricks and details, so practical. Thanks. My boss and I like your videos alot.🤝

Excellent Vid , Cheers Mate 🍻

I have a question, can you explain when or why you would (walk the cup) vs the regular dab style. I've been watching alot of ur videos and other random shorts. And I see both styles. I recently got a machine but haven't started yet. And I'm curious of the 2 methods.

I am in no way shape or form, a welder. But, I have been lucky enough to be present to watch some insane welding up close. I have watched some very skilled people weld together 3 inch thick steel plates together to make roughly 80,000 lb massive bulkheads that seal up reactors for submarines. And let me tell you, the insane amount of bevel they make before the 42ft long welds (plus or minus depending on boat class) is mind boggling. So... Much.... Weld.... Awesome vid!!

A soft backer interface helps a ton with dishing and keeping rounded edges uniform. If you're into this type of stuff.

I have never welded anything or had the want to weld anything but after watching this video i feel like i could weld decently well and find welding pretty cool

As a professional custom cabinet maker I appreciate how you explained your sanding and grinding process. 👌👌👌🤘

Great video and welds! 😍😍😍

Hi from the uk From my perspective if you have to grind a weld off to tidy the appearance then the weld was most likely a poor weld, a good weld is a thing of beauty to be shown off. I know its not welding but look at the late 70s Harris magnum suzuki frames they were bronze welded and truly great to see Keep up the good work

I like that the grinding/sanding thing is similar but logically more intense than working with wood

Never seen your videos before, but I definitely saw that Sumerian Record sticker, good taste ;)

my brother-in-law was a boat builder/welder and his welds were beautiful like a pro and like you he prepped his areas as well i knew this much but i've always wanted to learn how to weld but cause of his job he had no time to teach me. so what's best for beginners? TIG welding, arc welding, MIG welding? I thought TIG welding was the best option for any welding period or am i wrong here? does it really matter what type of weld you use for any projects?

I've suffered from fibromyalgia since I was 19, soon turning 44, intending to become a licensed professional welder via a special course over here in Sweden. Good video - I have the right stuff in my head already and look forward to the future, I called BS and facepalmed at those viral videos that give no regard to treating the material before or after. If I didn't know any better I'd say they explain a lot of tofu-dreg incidents.

hey Man, nice video. FIrst time viewer. I think I would have really liked to have seen a strength test between the proper welds like you did, vs the fake welds. just really drive your point home

interested layman here. this video is like a work of art, truly everything wrong and right about the internet wrapped up in a neat little bow. (that being, genuine people with love & care for their craft, and grifters)

Nice video, an eye opener for sure. Consider one friendly advice. Too many people think they are welding gods, and there is too many "I"s in the video. It's not a sales channel it's an educational one

I have no need or much interest in welding. But I am very impressed with your videos. You are an excellent teacher.

Just out of curiosity, would the same bevel prep be helpful if you are doing OA welding?

what camera/ lense are you using to take video of the welding. I've never seen such clear closeups of welding like that

Is there a reason that the tungsten tig looked rounded in the close up shots of welding, I always things it was supposed to be sharpened to a point for best welding?

thank you for the lesson from your video, good job sir 👍👍

This is such a niche video subject; I have no idea how I ended up here. One second I'm watching Bobby Duke make a banana knife, next second I'm watching a video about welding.

General question. I learned how to weld, and I know you somehow need to dispove the heat into the meaterial for a proper cooling, but what If I have top weld at a spot, where the heat only can dispove at one direction, and there is a huge risk of the weld and material just floating away, because of the bad heat dispove?

If it was the cap, what he was doing is cleaning the oxide layer off using the Argon that comes out of the torch. Same idea as purging the oxygen out of the inside of the pipe using Argon.

while watching, i noticed that your TiG welder has a round tip on the end of the tungsten rod, why is that? i am asking since when i was working with welding, i was told to keep a sharp point on the end so the flame doesn't start to wander.

I can't weld very well but I can spot weld. I used to make bolt heads into french keys occasionally by doing up the bolt, drilling a off-centre hole bevelling the hole really really good, grinding a nail point flat and tapping it into the hole, chopping ot off and spot welding it in place before undoing the bolt and knocking it out. One thing i learnt. If you forget to bevel the hole, you're buggered

Good explanation when you weld with tig, mag system but welding with electrode or with KEMP things are little different

To be honest your welds look so nice if I had you do a job for me, I would probably ask you to not grind it down, the neatness and consistency adds so much interesting texture to the work, it's beautiful in its own right.

why use scotch bright before the sanding? i was under the impression sanding removes more material than scotch bright.
