Great to see a new face on the channel....Conseulo, this is a well done video, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.....cheers from Florida, Paul

Hobby welder from Scotland here, great video, thanks for taking the time to go over it step by step, nice and informative, clearly explained and easy to understand, great job!

Good stuff ma. Thanks for dropping some gems so others can improve and/or expand the range of their skill set. 10/10 👍💯

So nice to see the Welddotcom team growing and adding another perspective. Thank you Consuelo.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Love it Conseulo!!! Nice to see an informative video that's not cheesy 90's video 😂🖤👩🏽‍🏭

Nice one Consuelo. Nice hints. Cheers

It is good to see the channel returning to an instructional venue rather than the infomercial Chanel it had become

Very good and informative instructional video, thank you.

Hello guys. Greetings from Spain.

As our Good Friend 'Bob Moffatt' said in some of his videos, " watch your negative comments, what you may be seeing is what the camera is seeing and not necessarily what is actually there, and keep your comments polite......this channel is for sharing information and not for bashing the presenter" I agree 100% with him on this.....if you like bashing others with mean spirited comments, go to one of the other Social Media platforms that are out there and Bash all you like, For what you pay to watch this channel, at least be polite to the other viewers, as was once said in a Disney Movie, 'If you can't say something nice, do not say anything at all'......

Thanks for the awesome vid!

Nice to share . well done to welding .Hope to work together .Welding wire

Off subject here buti have a question and am curious. Have any of you ever experienced "optically illusions" while welding? Note: I'm not a professional welder and have never welded as a occupation ion. But on 2 occasions recently while welding my site picture (what I could see throughout the helmet lense) appeared to start an oval movement as if the work piece, my hand and gun started moving in an oval pattern. I stopped welding and raised my hood, then lowered my hood and started back to welding. After a couple of minutes it did it again. Anyone ever experienced this? Again, just curious. Thanks.

Jim, that is a good question, are you using an auto darkening lens? You might be seeing a reflection between the multiple pieces of glass and plastic in the hood, If it continues, I am thinking you may want to try a passive lens? If it still continues, you may want to see a doctor. I have been welding for over 40 years, not continually, but have never seen something like this personally. I have had visual illusions after a hard knock on my head that lasted for days.... I think I had a concussion...... If you see any sort of these optical illusions while not welding, definitely get to a Doctor , you might have something serious going on... I hope this helps, Paul Brown from weld.com

@@ypaulbrown Thank you for responding! No knocks one the head, though through the years I've had several people tell me that I am "not right". 😁. And yes, it is an Auto Darkening hood,. It didn't seem like any reflection as it looked just like as of you had held a picture in your hand and moved it in a oval pattern. No distortion just the oval perceived movement. If it happens again I'm try the passive lense. And it's about time for my eye exam (and I did forget to mention that I do wear glasses for myopia, nearsightedness) so I will also check with my doctor. Thank you again for responding.

@@jimjordan5630 one good thing about Myopia, you can take the prescription glasses off and put on a pair of safety glasses, as you need to see close..you prescription lens may have been giving issues.....and what brand/quality lens are you using, some, if viewed from an angle can give more brightness at edges and dark patterns.......I have the opposite problem, I need reading glasses to see close and far away.....ha, but at 69, I can't complain......I used to retouch photographs using a 10 power magnifier, I drew hair on people.....and it was on 35 mm slide film.....I had to wait between heart beats.......and you think welding is tedious....

@@ypaulbrown Putting hair on people. 😁. Yeah I guess that would be tedious! I worked as industrial carpenter at nuclear power plants so all of my glasses were polycarbonate. Not sure of the actual brand or the quality actually, other than they never gave me any problems and got replaced every year. I did have to getting them with special prism lenses in 2016 after an on the job eye injury. But I had never had that "optical illusion" before or since that one day. And only the 2 times then while welding. Have welded a fair amount but that was the only time I had the problem. Nothing before or since. After I retired I still get all of my glasses with the safety lenses. I just feel safer whether cutting the grass, using a grinder, cut off wheel of doing other things. I guess that's one thing that the safety programs did teach me. Had I not been wearing glasses the day of my injury I would have definitely lost my eye even though it was pretty serious as it was. And yes, at nearing 69 I have for years found that even with progressive tri-focals Is much better without my glasses than with, and dune things I can't see too well with or without. But I keep them on, add I said, when doing things like grinding etc. I do take them off while welding due to having they protection of the hood. At first when the illusion happened I thought I was about to pass out, only I didn't feel dizzy or light headed, and I wondered what the heck was going on. So I paused and raised the hood and everything was fine. I went back to welding and after a little bit it did it again. But then it stopped. Just a crazy kind of thing. I think I'll take my hood in when I go to see my Dr just in case he has a question about it. And again, thank you for the concern and the conversation!

@@jimjordan5630 good Idea on bringing the hood in to the Dr. ...I prefer glass lenses in my spectacles as they do not scratch as easy. The Oldtimey kind ya know......another thing you can do, is paint the interior of your hood a very flat black to reduce any reflections off the plastic of the hood, that will also save you from uv and ir light bouncing in your eye.....If you take some spray adhesive, like 3M 77 and spray a rough coat, then when dry, Krylon makes, or used to make a spray can paint called Ultra Flat Black......you will not see any reflections with that, I came up with hat technique modifying film camera in Hollywood in the 80's for extreme close up photography. By the say, never ever wear light color shirts while welding, the reflection will co right in the hood and into your eyes.......the only time I had arc flash was because of this....reflections of light behind you in the lens can also be annoying and can be avoided by putting a flap of leather or cloth on the top of hood to go over your head and behind to block light, you can get those at your welding supply for very little and the cloth ones are fire resistant....please wear a cap of some sort to keep pesky sparks from toasting your noggin......no synthetics though as they melt....ball caps are good, and so is Comeaux weld caps, I like a Boonie hat in cotton as I can cover my big ole ears and back of neck, the brim I just fold up......I do take all the ammo out of the loops first though.....I sure hope this helps, if you have any questions, please email me, I am sure you can find my address......best wishes, Paul from weld.com

I’ve never seen a speed square used as a hammer before and when welding never weld opposite corners because it will pull the box out of square, instead weld two corners next to each other then the other two corners, think of taking a cardboard box and squeezing the opposite corners, it will bring the other two corners closer but squeeze two corners next to each other and it keeps it’s shape. Otherwise great looking project and great tips on cleaning the mig gun and setting the machine

Consuelo is a metal carpenter......Speed Square [Swanson Brand by the way] is my go to tool for ease of use in initial tacking of a rectangular frame, Then the tape measure comes out and I do a diagonal measure..... by the way Mike, was that Carpenter's Name Douglas? as in Douglas Fir?

Those practice joints were terrible,you didn't tie in at the toes of weld and you have way too much wire speed, thats why your weld was way to convex.

[Beveling] the edges would fix that. When ever you run a weld without a weave you will pile up. Same thing happens on flat plates when practicing straight lines. Lots of videos on that.
