I have had to use welders a lot in my life with no real training. Now at 63 I still am awe struck at this kind of talent. Never had bad failure but what I did was not pretty. This is an awesome site you have here and it makes me want to get back into it on a hobby level. Thanks a whole bunch.

Aunt Nancy done kicked me out i was heading over there so much

I don’t know if you guys know how much you are helping with these videos but I’ll tell you they really help a lot. I’m 66 and weld a little on pipe pens and implements and just for fun. If you would have told me when I was young that I liked welding I would have laughed. I’ll never be a pipeliner but I like to do something to the best of my ability. I’ve been watching several different welders videos for about three months and you can’t believe how much I improved. Also the little tips about working really help. I’m glad you guys are sharing your knowledge.

merry christmas everyone. take care of your families. be safe .... work smarter AND harder. lets make 2014 the best year ever.

Jody I'v been welding for 35 years. What your doing is great. When my guys don't want to listen to me or if I don't have the answer I rely on you for back up. Your modesty goes a long way.

Thought your welding tip on holding your pinkie and thumb together was great. I shall be trying it. I have added this video and now subscribed. Thanks

lol I'm 70 now and still love welding, I was xray certified on the buckeye pipeline and had other certifications. still I admire skilled welders such as yourself and hope to improve my skills and perhaps teach a lil bit to the young guys who say they want to learn... we will see....thx again.

These vids are awesome. I really appreciate you making them. I have learned so much and just wanted to express my gratitude. You helped me make things i didn't know i could make!

that's so amazing, it's my first year in the intitute of applicated technology, i study metal construction, these videos help me to grow up my knowledge about welding. thank you again,

Jody, I have watched many of your videos. It is one thing to be an "artist" with the work that you do. It is another thing to be able to share it as clearly detailed as you do in your videos. I have edited down 100s of hours of videos so I know and I truly appreciate ALL of the extra effort and time that you put into your work to share it with the rest of us. Merry Christmas!

I loved to stick weld! only mig welded 2 times and I sucked! I love the weld pattern you make! my dad who welded 3 shift at the mine said if you do it right the slag will lift up in a curl and just fall off! like it did for you! great job! welding large projects were like Zen meditating and the hours fly by!

It's always worthwhile watching your videos. I've learned so much about practicing hand and arm movement before actually lighting up. It makes a big difference in the results! Thanks for all of your efforts to share your expertise and a Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I have been a mold maker my entire life and welding goes hand in hand and your videos are some of the best I have seen thanks for the always learning new and better ways of welding.. quote: when you think you know it ALL is when thos people STOP learning..have fun welding as I always do.. lol thanks

Awesome welds there! And for the first time in my life i'm actually getting close to that quality. Thanks for your videos! I needed to fix many things i had been doing wrong but lack of rod control was one of the biggest.

Love your videos theyre extremely helpful. i just graduated welding school and i used alot of these videos to help improve my techniques. Thanks for makin these and im lookin forward to see what new videos 2014 brings! And merry Christmas!

Jody: Found you and your store stumbling on eBay. Your efforts here are huge to us guys that weld for the bright lights and fumes. Ordered your "big pack" and I'm tacked "welded" to your DVD's. Many thanks and please don't stop sharing with us. Your down-to-earth comments are great!!! Listening to your side comments are like standing next to you in the shop. Your no "BS" about welding and set the book aside ...and get at it.... is huge to hear. Makes me laugh and learn at the same time. And that makes the best teacher/instructor you can find. Many Many Thanks.

This is one of the best videos' I have seen since the first time I started looking for welding tips on the net. I compliment you on your through glass video and then showing your position and technique at the end.

Happy New Jodie- you've brought me a lot of enjoyment this year.

Great quality video with excellent audio. Most importantly, great information. Thank you

aussie50 sent me over here, nice idea to strike up on a part to be welded, never knew that tip..and wow when that slag is removed it looked so nice

I have to thank you, sir! I'm trying to teach myself to arc/stick weld and this video helped me a lot! I will definitely use most every part of this video while using my two car batteries and a salt water amperage controller to weld a patch on my 1979 Goldwing's mufflers. Everything about this video was helpful! Seems to me, after watching you, that welding is a lot like sewing. Your video just made it click somehow. haha THANK YOU!!!

Merry Christmas Jody! Thanks for all the work you do on these videos. They have been a tremendous help!

Very nice welds there Jody! You always look soo comfortable welding with 7018's. One problem I have always had is loosing that comfort zone when moving around the job, and not maintaining that correct rod angle. I haven't commented on your videos very much, but I do watch many of them and have picked up several good tips from you. Thanks man!

which electrodes is best to use in connecting 2 pcs of 6x6 tubular for my main post??..i will appreciate the answer..thanks

you have taught me alot and have got me through some technical and support just want to say I appreciate your videos

I'm just stuck in a job running wirefeed while I wait to go back to school for pressure welding and these videos are so good for me to keep up my knowledge while I wait for class to start

Yeah I'm trying to teach myself welding so you are going to become one of my favorite YT channels. Thanks.

thanks jodi > your comment 'im using two hands to demonstrate this 'cuz its a job i traveled to be at...' out of all the tips in your series > the best real world 'instruction' ive ever heard.

Merry Christmas and thanks for the numerous great videos... Time spent learning is not time wasted!

Highly qualified. That's actually like music. Beautiful welding. Hats off to you.

These are so fun to watch because I'm a retired welder. It's still the same pattern of welding with 7018 other we called it low hydrogen rod. You younger learners pay attention to this man and follow him because you will learn lots! Thanks for the vedios.

Again, lots of great information here. I am really liking the way you tell what and why. Thank You.

This Video made me admire you; beautiful TIG welds covered with flawless stick. You're awesome

I am a CWI and been a pipewelder for years I use the same techniques when I do my socket welds. Good vid and advice.

Thanks for the video. I like the reality factoring you bring in. Being an engineer with the Canadian Navy (I welded when the guys let me have some fun) I have always welded with two hands letting the young stokers showing off with one hand, backward and all. thanks again.

Thank You for sharing your knowledge. I've welded on and off for 40 years on my little farm projects and my heavy equipment but always seem to learn something from you. I've never had to have welds tested but they get a pretty good test in the field and they hold up. I hope to get to tig someday too. Not sure I can justify a 4th machine though.

You're a good teacher. You explain things well.

Merry Christmas Jody - I learned a lot from your videos. Thanks.

Thanks for the videos threw out the year, some of the best I've seen. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year

Have a Merry Christmas Jody, thanks again for the videos to keep me sane while healing after nicking the tip of my finger off in the table saw! Can't wait for some hood time now that my gloves fit again! It was the weirdest thing too, as I know how to use one safely and have never had a problem in almost 30 years of owning it. A huge bobcat came out of my barn and distracted me for a millisecond and one little touch was all it took to put a 30 degree bevel on my pointer finger, LOL! Could have been so much worse, so I'm grateful for that too.

those were some nice beads! I will definitely follow your instructions, and tips! Great video, thanks for the info.

Your vids are an excellent source. Thanks for sharing your skill.

Jody, Always good information ,love that 7018,goes on like butter.

Very nice welds. I miss welding. Someday I will have a setup to do it again. Thanks for the videos!

thank you for all your tips and tricks you helped me pass my red seal here in Canada

Respect from Moscow.I've seen a lot of videos of yours.Thank you!

I love those Lincoln 7018 Excalibur rods. They run a smooth arc and it makes a good clean weld beads.

More great stuff Jody, I used the pinky to thumb the other day on a long mig pass and liked it. I think I will practice it more it is very useful. Thanks for the great video's.

Excellent video!! Tecniques are top notch as always, learned a lot from you guys!!

I love 7018 rod yes it is harder to use when you first learn but when you master it it is hands down the best rod to use. I like to use it on big pipe and sch 80 xh or 120 I use it to fill it seems to save me at least two passes of 6010 and after I got used to it I caped everything with it to the point where using 5pt just seemed a lil harder to use and I felt as if they were ugly caps but it was just me. Love the videos they are the most useful professional and you can apply the tips to every day welding tasks. Im a certified welder got my own rig and work in the oil fields when ever I want lil tricks or tips I go to your channel keep up the good work

thanks Jody, been hooked over a year now, get get enough! thanks again Merry Christmas!

Thanks Jody, I was waiting on you to upload more SMAW Welding vids, Happy new year

Hi. It's really a great job your'e doing. I'm an AWS D10.13 Certified welder. I'm very impressed from your explanations and really admire your work. Thank's a lot. Martin.

i been watching your videos for years , finally set up commenting. thanks for the vids!

You make stick welds look better than tig welds! Nice job!

BTW, fantastic video. Truly excellent instruction. Welding seems to be an art of so many fine details as well as learning proper technique from the get go. Metal is such a fascinating material and I'm not sure I'll ever get tired of looking at molten metal, no matter how small the puddle ;)

Este tipo es de los mejores y sus videos increibles... en pocas palabras es muy Chingon... Saludos de Mexico. Gracias a usted he aprendido prendido tecnicas muy buenas para el Hobie... Namas q como es en ingles no entiendo casi nada... jejeje... Saludos...

Awesome videos and information as always - best teacher ever

Thank you sir, learned a lot. New at welding and I absolutely love it

I learn so much from your videos, thanks for posting.

great video, wish I had u as an instructor when I was younger !!

Nice video !! I really like the way you weld , putting your little finger against the thumb and just turn over !! I'll try it! nice techniques!

Il just a humble guy trying to learn but i can tell this is a great video, thanks for sharing that!

WoW! I really miss the view of a good puddle. Great hand and equally great filming. I can almost feel the hot spatter and smell the burning flux!

Thanks for the pinkie to thumb tip. You can never be too steady.

hi let mi telyou you ar owesome i am hispanic and i am welder for years and the way you splane everting is verry good i still learning alot from you my name is kenneth campos i am from costa rica bat i am living in uruguay s.a keep maken mor videos tank you en greatinks

Happy Christmas Jody~ ^^..Your hand positioning is very impressive and useful for me..Thanks a lot for your videos.

You are a master! I can learn lost from you. You have a good way with words.

Nice my great sir. i love you sir.your video's are very helpful. Thanks a lot for upload video.

Good to know about porosity and how to get that out. Was doing some welding for the first time on my snowplow mount yesterday and moving up to building posts/hinges for my gate today now that I have some experience lol. Pretty much easier when you get the idea you can jack the AMps up a bit more than some recommend. Did some bear wrasslin when the darn stick was just tacking on like a bear. But, now that I am comfortable turning it up a bit.... The 7018 1/8 Linc rods at 140 Amp sound like just the ticket! Thank you!

I aspire to this mans amazing stick welding

Love that fresh / dry Lincoln Excalibur.

You are good. Very good. One day, I'll be half as good as you are..... The thumb and pinky technique is one I'll try later today. Thanks Ian

I never knew the pinky to thumb trick, Nice Vajayo! Good tips!

I have a difficult time with 7018 for some reason I'm glad I'm just a hobby welder and haven't had to do anything structural that I would be concerned about I like using 6013 and I used to use a eutectic 225 and I just recently acquired an Antique Marquette Redi Arc 180 amp AC welder and I had to make my own leads for it but man that thing runs great I've used 6013 to make some repairs on a trailer and a few pieces of farm equipment and a welded together a couple different forges and I used 6013 on all of them and they're all holding still really well

What? Thumb to Pinky? Dude…brilliant simplicity!! Thanks...

Nice to see what other welders do. I welding completely different :)

Thanks for the tips and tricks man. Really helpful

Good welding info. I like the way that slag almost falls off by itself with the 7018 rod.

Subbing you again...changed my channel name. Been welding for 41 years & have a small job shop @ home...good stuff...

"Heading off towards aunt Nancy's house"!!! I LOVE IT!!! hahahaha

Typical top shoulder characteristic with E7018's although I worked with one guy and he was the only one I have ever worked with that could put his final multi-fillet pass on and you would of thought he had used a general purpose electrode, this guy was my inspiration to better myself although i could never get the same appearance and mine looked exactly like yours. Enjoyed this video yet again although would love to see you do a flange on pipe using all positions, overhead, semi over head, vertical to incline finishing in the flat at 12 O'Clock. Wrist action is the key and I'm sure all those that love your videos me included would love to see how you go about it when using a general purpose electrode. Always gave me great pride when people would say how did you do that and keep the fillet leg size equal all round the diameter. Be easy to say practice makes perfect but I think we never get perfect just better which I'm a big believer like yourself that if you make yourself comfortable then things become far easier

Thanks for the great video and thanks for explaining undercut.

Thanks for the vid, I'm sure you've met my type before, the guy who x rays and sentences your weld !! By the look of those welds I bet you had very few DNC's. I'm a certified self taught welder and love to fabricate at home it was good watching up close like that to help my far from correct but very sound welds. Thanks

I'm in grade 10 and I've been welding for now 5 years and working at my dad's shop and we made 4,000$ today just from welding pipes. wow

Merry Christmas and happy welding to you jodi

Great great great!!! Started welding school 3 weeks ago. With their instructions and your tips I'm already on lesson 4 horizontal stinger t joints. We have covered horizontal and overhead plate. Any tips on starting and finishing a vertical t joint? Using 5/32 6010 rod I run between 99-105amps

Very pretty welds wow.

Very nice vid. I think this would explain why I couldn't weld a bolt to a plate the other day and the rod kept binding on me.Thanks.
