THANK YOU for making this video on inexpensive welding machines, three common welding rods, and the setting for each one. Thanks for demonstrating the quality of the welder, and the final product of each welding rod: the weld itself. This is by far the best video I've seen concerning how to get started with welding if you're a beginner. I have been so overwhelmed with information that I was hesitating to get started. You answered every question that I had to get started. You also have given me a boost in confidence to go out and buy my first welder tomorrow and get started. That's for making this video. I appreciate it. 👍👍

Looking for a starter 👍 good info/example showing rods and actual weld👍👍. Will probably get this one.

Hey man..i bought an inverter welder/ Arc Welding machine for 80 Euros. It came with the clamps, mask, etc and 5 electrodes/rods. I will use that for stick jobs but I also got a DekoPro Arc/Lift Tig 160A machine and @TimWelds gave it a great review so I bought it so I could Lift Tig full time on that one without changing to Stick.. I saw a beautiful Mig Welder for 199 euros I one of the LIDL stores and nearly took it but I don't need this thing and don't have any experience as yet. Ur. Video was very good bro.. Maybe some better close ups of the welds would be nice to see but it's not easy to make these videos I guess. I don't make the so I don't wa tto sound condescending my bro.. If it came out that way I apologise.. Great job man..
