    I cal mine the test monitor bc teaching isn’t happening 😂 he sits at desk. Says go weld. Looks at are lines at end and says looks good 😂😂 my computer lost its security password to log in to school internet. He said idk 🤷‍♂️ the high school kids that had welding offered in high-school are helping my old ass. Such a waste of money. I could have bought a welding machine and learned on my own at this rate.

    It is not that hard, just keep short arc. Short arc or long arc is your voltage, if you keep it short just like he mention in video "feel" the plate, it means try to keep same short arc thought your weld. First try long arcing on some plate and see how it looks after, than try short arc. You will see "wild" arc and that electricity it is not pointed where you want it to be, than try to keep short arc and you will get smooth arc whitout spater and wildness. I hope my English is correct, sorry if it is not.

    So, I'm just learning now, borrowing an inverter and just tackling a project for myself, I've come to youtube alot for stuff like this, I am a tradesman but i love to learn and try different things. I have easily watched a couple hours worth of welding videos, electrodes, amps, ac / dc and ofc running beads. Your videos just settled all my anxiety about getting clean welds on my gate, 10/10 my man, great video and very easy to understand you. camera shots showing angle are perfect.

    i remember when i first started learning stick with 6010 i was always sticking the rod or long arcing .. could not get the feed right because i was trying to focus on all variables.. arc length angle travel speed, weave / pattern... and it was too much.. so i bought an old wirefeed and practiced the other variables until they became second nature, didnt have to worry about feeding the filler... then i went back to stick to work on feeding the rod and to my surprise it just clicked... i guess i did it backwards lol.

    That's common when you first start out. One of the best ways to learn. to move with the weld is when you start and prop yourself up, prop yourself about to where you plan on finishing the weld instead of where you start the weld. Then you can reach back when you start the weld and staying with the weld will he ALOT easyer because your coming back to your most comfortable resting spot. It's much easier to pull back to yourself than it is to push away from yourself when you are trying to stay with the weld.

    I've been doing FCAW for a little bit and am just now going to start stick welding. This video is excellently detailed and I'm sure it's going to help a lot. I've found the best thing for me is to admit humility and laugh at my welds, all the while knowing, they WILL eventually get better. It helped me not get frustrated learning FCAW and it will help with this method as well.

    I have to lay a straight bead for a 1g test. I am 62 years old. You taught me to lean on something - anything. I think the view from the helmet probably matters a lot. My Yeswelder helmet has been fine until I had to see the edges of the bevels working on this 1G test. I cradled my right hand using my left hand and lowered my left arm as you do. Thought I was going straight, but when I lifted my helmet, I welded over the edge. A really nice weld, thanks to your stick videos, but over the edge. I am going to get a helmet that provides a better view.
