Thank you, I am glad you are finding the shows useful.

Thank you. This was very helpful to me as I am a real newbie and am making a welding table using square tubing.

I was a welder for 14 years, started on mig, and progressed to tig for a while as one company I worked for made vending machines, which I made the front panels, and required both mig and tig welds. Before that I made farm gates and sheep hurdles on a piece work basis, so it was fast paced stuff, using 2x1 on one end and 2x2 section on the other. The tubing was round and fairly thin gauge mild steel, so in order to weld quick without blowing holes, you had to be quite skilled to keep up the pace. Nice work. Mig welding has to be the easiest of all welding.

Very exciting!! I'm strictly a 2D artist, but this looked reasonably straightforward and I actually gasped at the post-grinding reveal. Extremely cool, thanks for the demo.

Brad Cornelius Thank you for that. I can feel your enthusiasm!

I recently started welding at a local shop and all we do is MIG weld square tubing just like what you showed here. The interesting thing is I live in Israel and work with two Arab guys who while very helpful and friendly, don't speak English. We all speak very basic Hebrew, but basically I had to learn by watching closely, and a couple days of practice on scrap tubing. I found this video to be both very helpful and very reassuring.

Just found your channel today! You dobra great job. Very clear instruction! Nice to see!

Just a note: the metal doesn't bend because of heat 'drawing' towards a side. The metal goes on as a liquid, and as it cools to become solid, it contracts (shrinks) - which is what pulls the metal toward a certain direction. Cheers!

Thanks for watching. If your having trouble seeing, I might suggest you get a "cheater" lens to put in your welding helmet. This will add magnification and hopefully help you out. You can find them at any welding supply store. As far as getting comfortable, try using both hands to hold the MIG Gun (or whatever electrode holder you are using) and prop your week hand on something to steady yourself. If you take a look at some of my stick welding videos, I describe how to get into a comfortable welding position. Good luck and thanks again for your comment.

Thank you. I just bought my welder and am going to build a nice cart for it. This helps. Thanks

Brett D Thank you, I'm very glad you found it so helpful, and I appreciate you're letting me know that.

Nice video and nice weld job. I'm a mechanical designer by profession and occasionally design structures using square and rectangular hollow steel shapes (ASTM A-500). The biggest problem with joining these shapes is that the outside corner radii can be quite large. This creates an issue for the flare bevel joint in that the fit-up might leave you with an excessive root gap. What I generally do to mitigate this problem is introduce a piece of flat bar in between the two hollow shapes. You weld the flat bar to the side of the one piece, laying in your flare welds. Then weld the second hollow shape to the flat bar. You can either butt weld all around or bevel the flat bar or end of hollow shape and weld all around.

Wow! That's nice welding

Very interesting and informative, thanks.

Nice video -- thanks. But there are a couple of things I was hoping to learn that you did not show here. First, how do you cap the end of the tubing? Second, do you need any special welding technique when you put together two pieces of square tubing at a 90-degree angle by beveling the end of each piece to a 45-degree angle?

Hi there, that's a really great video. Thanks for making it so clear and easy to understand. I have a question if you don't mind. I'm currently still learning and have just done my first set of butt welds. They looked ok but the penetration was poor. . . You could see the heat discolouration but you could also see the two joins and no weld coming through. This was easily resolved. . . I simply added a root gap and am now getting the exact penetration I need. However. . . I do my first steel tube weld next week and I'm unable to up the settings on the welder as I'm already at the max. setting. So as I can't have a root gap is the only option to grind bevels to leave a 'v'? This will be a table so good penetration is essential.

think focus. nice video

+WeldFever Yes, nice video. My next welder is going to be an Everlast MIG welder. I've been stick and tig welding for a while now and its time for me to pick up another welding process. I'm trying to learn as much as I can.

I liked the welding you did on that square pipe,I bought sections of that pipe at Home depot and I guess I bought all of it because they don't have it anymore.Where's a good place to buy this kind of piping from?.I need it to finish a skeleton flooring system I'm building in the back of an elcamino? Thanx for any direction you can point me in...

one thing i noticed...I was told to always push when you mig weld.....i was told just lately to always pull when you weld with flux core wire. I noticed you pulled sometimes on your welds and they still turned out just fine. I weld mostly with flux core on high tensil galvinized pipe. Most of my welds are verticle. Whats the best way to weld them? So far Ive never had a weld break but a person can always improve, either on appearance or strength or speed or even just making it easier.

I typically push vertical up welds, however, MIG welds can be either pulled or pushed. Makes very little difference in penetration, that's all.

Matt Leigh "if there is slag, you must drag"... With Flux core wire feed, and with stick welding, always pull the puddle. If you are pushing, you will contaminate the weld and bury slag in the puddle.

@WeldFever

10 жыл бұрын

Sure, it's pretty simple really. You just use a grinding stone on your angle grinder and knock down the high spots of the weld material. Knock it down just before you it the surface of the plate, or in this case tubing, so you don't put a gouge in it. The, take a regular sanding disc, or a sanding flap disk (as I did) and finish the job to a high polish. The finer the final grit of sandpaper, the better the high luster finish will be. If you don't know what some of these items are that I mentioned, just google them and you'll get a ton of pictures and info. Hope this helps!

WeldFever I suppose you would just learn from experience, but how do you know for sure that the penetration is deep enough to allow for the grinding of the high points without weakening the weld? I'm afraid of grinding the weld too far and not realizing that I don't have much actual weld left to be a strong joint.

Nice video. You may want to work on your camera focusing in your close shot's.

Great looking welds. The main problem I have with welding tubing is trying to keep things square due to warping. Any hints? Obviously the longer the material then the more apparent the warping is but am I better with lower current and voltage or raise it all and move the gun quicker?

@WeldFever

10 жыл бұрын

What I usually do to counteract warping, or pulling, is to lay down some weld on one side of the piece first (like a long tack, or perhaps a few stitch welds, depending on the size of the material), then I weld the entire opposite side. Lastly, I go back and weld the original side and this usually seems to do the trick. Alternatively, if the part is small enough, you could but some clamps on it, or if too big for clams, you could tack to your welding table (temporarily) while you fill in your welds. Thanks for your question, and thanks for watching! Make sure to check out our website at www.wedfever.com and join the forum for more welding discussion!

Hey weld fever great video. I've never, never used a welding Machine before, what machine did you use for this weld? I've been looking to buy a welder I was looking at the miller's and lincolns but would like to hear from an experienced welder. Thank you. John

I love this channel - thanks! I'm buying my first welder (perhaps welders) based on your Longevity MIG 140 and Stick 140 recommendations. I've never welded before. I'm a garage hobby welder, and my primary goal will be to weld square tubing as you've done here. If I take my time and prepare my metal surfaces carefully, do you think I can achieve these results with these 140amp welders? Does it make a huge difference to step up to 160 or even 200amp welders for my applications? Thanks in advance for any advice.

If your machine doesn't have it, go to Hobart's web site and get a copy there. Good luck!

I want to learn welding strictly for home projects and repairs. I do not want to do this for a profession. Where could I go to learn this type of welding?

Close to Tuscaloosa Alabama

For the filet weld you said that you went in an up and down motion. What motion did you use for the butt and flare bevel welds? Thanks!

I just got my first MIG Welder in the mail this week (Millermatic 211), I am brand new to welding, mostly been a wood worker but always wanted to get into this. I need to go get some shielding gas next week and some steel to build a cart and welding table. My question is this: when you grind down the weld bead for "looks" at the end of the video, doesn't that weaken the weld joint and subsequently weaken the strength of how much it will hold? Thanks.

@WeldFever

8 жыл бұрын

+choprpilot76 It all depends on the type of weld and the skill of the welder. If you get good fusion and complete penetration on the butt welds, then added reinforcement will not add substantial strength. This may be true of the flair bevels also. For a fillet weld, removing the weld would be catastrophic, since the weld bead is integral to the welded joint. In terms of a decorative piece, or something that won't hold much weight, it probably wouldn't make that much of a difference. Hope that helps, though I know it's a lot to digest.

Thanks for this very informative video. Quick question: Do you use .024 or .030 wire for the thin wall square tubing? Thanks again!

Any tips on how to join the corners as the railings will be a decorative piece? Mitre the ends to make the 99 degree corners?
