[@ForgeGiven]

Hey Dusty, thank you for all of the great content. I would like to see how you would approach the same situation that a customer challenged me with. I welded some ⅛" aluminum brackets to ⅛" plate. The challenge was that each one had a single flare groove on one side. I respect your work and would love to see how you would weld that out.

[@BitterClingerGodGuns]

Curious why your online program focuses on aluminum? Just getting start tig welding myself and have been practicing primarily on carbon steel. Is aluminum a better place to start perhaps?

[@LutherBaker]

Let's Goooooo!!!! Those pics are so familiar! XD

[@martinfarrow2825]

Hi Luther would you recommend this online program.? Thanks Martin (uk)

[@bonovoxel7527]

I see the progresses between them good job dude!

[@zmotorsports62]

Thanks for making the transition to mild steel. The majority of what I do is in mild steel or chromoly and this has been helpful. Thank you.

[@ls2005019227]

When I first began TIG welding, everyone told me how difficult aluminum was to weld....... BALONEY!! I truly believe that mild steel is more difficult than both aluminum and stainless; to do well and make it look right.

[@rniejx4219]

100% agree. Aluminum welds like butter when you are setup right. Stainless is easy to do if you have gas coverage. Mild steel is tough, especially repair work that has been welded before.

[@jsshayes1]

Finally mild steel. I am always looking for mild steel videos from you. Thanks!

[@tinkeringinthailand8147]

The new TIG welder I got a couple of days ago is DC only, as most of my projects involve mild steel, so I am over the moon you covered this. I have been practicing the basics of firing up a spot and running a bead without filler today, and man it is hard, as there are so many variables involved. Your channel has really helped me understand these variables and I hope I can someday produce some 'Stacked Dimes' like you. Thanks for your teaching (from an English teacher) 🙏

[@nathancole8188]

Keep at it. I bought my first tig welder combo cheapo unit from Amazon about 6 months ago. Then about 3 months ago bought the primeweld tig 225 acdc machine so I could also get into aluminum and have been practicing any chance I get. These videos have helped me learn soooo much and it didn't take long before I started to see positive results. Have people asking me to do alot of welding work for them already. Every little bit helps. I've already found the limitations of my equipment and have started upgrading.

[@joeolejar]

I only have a DC TIG welder, so all my practice has been on mild steel. I appreciated your insights on this video.

[@philthyphil3324]

This is exactly what I needed. I found that I am using not enough amperage, leading to me moving too slow to get the puddle to form, and not enough filler rod, causing excessive heat input.

[@coreyandnathanielchartier3749]

The tips and philosophy shown in this video is invaluable for anyone who has hit a roadblock in their progress. "The machine does exactly what you tell it to do". Sounds simple, right? Sometimes 'simple' is the hardest thing to understand when you're struggling or frustrated. Go back to basics, and practice. Prep, settings, patience , and if something isn't working, stop and figure out what it is.

[@abriolwage1079]

Been looking for mild steel vids. One or two more now and then would be much appreciated. Thanx for the vids dude.

[@chaz1488]

I work in a factory setting doing production welding of fuel tanks, and all we work with is mild steel. A lot of what I do is repairing holes and fixing bad welds from the robots, which is just mostly fusion welding, sometimes I have to grind out and reweld areas. So I'd like to see more tips on mild steel if you can please.

[@GeorgeStavropoulos-ss9to]

Really glad you touched on tig welding mild steel .. good to hear that it's not just me and that it is tricky to weld with ... they are not as pretty as your stainless welds.. as a hobbyist who is building a hot rod I'll mainly weld in mild steel .. frame .. body .. etc .. then some stainless for exhaust.. love your the info on your channel has helped me a bunch .. keep it up .. cheers !!

[@ddudl001]

Happy to see some DC content on your channel Dusty! Good stuff

[@klac1024]

Please keep a mix of aluminum, mild and stainless video's coming. As always, great content. Thanks Dusty

[@nickberry8182]

please do more of these mild steel videos. im beginning, and im sure like a lot of guys, i don't have 220 access so that limits the machine i can run, which limits the material i can work on. all your videos are super informative but i am unable to apply any of it because i dont have the ability to weld aluminum, but i can weld mild steel all day, its much more accessable. anyways thanks for the videos man!

[@Crash__Davis]

Thanks for this cause I'm currently in school and in TIG class we are only welding mild steel. I appreciate it bro

[@mrsargentful]

Perfect Dusty. I mainly tig weld on my project car which is mild steel. This was helpful. IMO opinion I would like to see more video with mild steel... maybe even aluminumized steel? I appreciate it!

[@LynnTwinCustoms513]

I commented on one of your previous videos about how I recently purchased a TIG machine! Just wanted to let you know your videos really help guide me through some issues I was having starting out as a noobie. I have a long way to go but I am enjoying the learning process! Only thing I regret is not buying or trying TIG welding sooner. Appreciate the time you take out of your day to help us out!

[@buildraceparty]

Super cool. Love the mini quiz way of teaching. And I’ll be doing a lot of mild and 4130 too. Thanks for making these!

[@stefanm5636]

Dusty thank you for this video! Keep up upload more videos about mild steel,carbon steel, I know it is big topic, but let us beginners know some more abou those metals.Thank you in advance.

[@beauchang4741]

I started [and am still very new to] tig welding with mild steel because it was cheaper and a little easier to get... I had no idea it was a trickier metal to deal with and thought I was doing everything horribly wrong lol this helps put my mind at ease that at least I was working proper technique and they weren't half bad after all (though there kinda far from half good lol)

[@willbraswell4906]

Thanks!

[@Jeff10Moab]

Hey Dusty, Thanks for the mild steel tips! That's all really great information. After all this time trying to learn on mild steel, I always thought that it was supposed to be "easy" when compared to aluminum. I'm glad to know that it does take a little skill and technique.

[@jacobwells618]

I 🦆ing love your videos GD!! I still struggle with mild steel and information like this is amazing‼️

[@GoldGune]

I just found this channel and absolutely love seeing your work. I’ve been doing aluminum for 2 years now and moved across the US to get some actual training with a technical school. Seeing this work reassures me that hopefully one of these days I will stack like this!

[@tommygoofy]

fantastic video and extremely well explained and helped in class a lot today

[@andyb7754]

Thank you for your videos. Can't wait to get back to the summer house and start learning to Tig better than I have been.

[@DonnyBwelding1]

Good questions Luther ! and good work my brother in arc ... Keep dabbin steady ! Respect and positivity

[@nefariouscj9791]

all i have to work with currently is mild steel so this is very helpful! Thank you as always!

[@wirefeed3419]

This is the exact video I have been looking for. I used to do Oxyacetylene steel welding and thought Tig will be an easy pick up. I learned very quickly how Wrong that thinking was.

[@hpk4917]

Peanut butter, all i can think about is peanut butter 😆 Thank you Dusty. Greetings from Austria 👋

[@annmdarwin4273]

I will start my TIG Weld training on Tuesday 🙏🏼

[@Rdjohnboy007]

Absolutely great contents. I think your KZbin is top notch and I've learnt so much. Even though I only do mild and stainless your knowledge and the way you explain stuff is perfect for someone like me who is still learning. Fill and Chill my man. Keep up the good work.

[@dandahermitseals5582]

Looks good. Im an old teamster boilermaker n fitter. Built hundreds of pipeline and shipyard fabricatioo. All stick plus years if mig but no tig. Just got the.new modern equipment so at 80 years old Im anxious to get this down. Subbed abd will be a very good student. Dandahermit

[@RonJones-k4p]

The peanut explanation was awesome bud.

[@garysgarage101]

I quite enjoyed this video. Nice for a change than the usual Al and SS all over the internet. Let’s face it, most of us can only afford the cheapest steel and are much more likely to start and learn on mild steel. I find most of the welding projects I do end up being mills steel so your coverage here is very welcome.

[@danshafer4979]

Thank you for doing this video, great tips 🔥🔥

[@GroundedConceptsLLC]

Love your channel brother 😎

[@logandellow4041]

Thank you for showing off mild steel, I'm currently taking a 2g Fillet weld on 1/4" by 3/16" Tee joint for a weld cert at my current job, Stacking and filling with enough filler rod + properly penetrating has been a bit fickle. I already passed the same test on stainless steel but carbon is giving me more trouble, would love a video on it thanks.

[@mattlee007]

Most of what i'm working on is mild steel, so thank you i've been following you for a while and this one has helped alot, cheers! I'm still struggling with the concept of amps etc heat etc. I just have a DC, Push/ hold a botton and go, no control of the ramp up and down process, there is one dile to set the amps (period) i seem to have mine much lower than most videos i watch, just don't understand that process, working on a budget so can't afford a better tig machine, so any light you can shead on this would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.

[@larrymoore5394]

Nice video thanks for the reminders about mild steel Larry Moore

[@michaelwelch442]

If you had an additional course for mild and stainless I’d buy it

[@caleblong1730]

Great video! Thank you!

[@patricksalmon3494]

Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo très instructive

[@oldwheels817]

Awesome vid! Glad to hear mild steel is finicky

[@gloorfpv1801]

Didn’t learn that at weld school 😂,,, you’re videos are really well done 👍

[@dankuchar6821]

Great, now I want some peanut butter

[@tnmonty501]

Been trying to learn toting on mild steel , accidentally found out tungsten electrodes don’t make good filler rods 😂😂 ( picked it up on accident)

[@c4mthegre4t24]

😂 I hate dipping. Stresses me out

[@BasedBidoof]

thanks for the tips

[@crvpt1kk]

What filler rod do you use with mild steel and what do you keep your Amps at?

[@paulkurilecz4209]

Quite helpful, tyvm.

[@dragon2c-kv6ku]

Great episode. When you can would you go over vertical and overhead on .125 aluminum. Filets and butt.

[@travismorgan4249]

Glad to see you doing some mild steel. Every welder I’ve spoken to when asking about difficulty of welding has said it goes aluminum is then hardest, then stainless and mild steel is the easiest. I wonder if you think that it’s more finicky bc it’s the hardest to get that perfect weld look.

[@ryanadams5186]

I think it just has to do with the process being used. For me personally with TIG welding, stainless is the easiest, then aluminum, then mild steel. That’s just me personally.

[@christianouellette9995]

Hi, what do you tink of Everlast powertig 185 to start up?

[@walkingwithdogs8547]

Can you show how to weld thin mild steel and get great results? Would be great if you could.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

That was fun, tHanks. I know nothing about welding so it all was interesting. Actually....I've learned not to touch metal just after it was welded. tHanks for the video

[@Hajury]

Hello, I’ve started TIG welding recently and i would love to know something how thick was the mild steel he was using , what was the tungsten size + filler rod. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@degeneratewelderznation]

Sick. very clean.

[@jamesgilbert2862]

I used stainless filler on mild steel m and it seemed to blend smoothly, but what would be the problems that occur with doing this?

[@scotthumes194]

your stainless weld will rust lol probably will be prone to crack and fail

[@jamesgilbert2862]

@@scotthumes194 that makes sense. Luckily I that was just a test I did on some scrap. It probably won't be cracking anytime soon sitting with the rest of my scrap.

[@7628739]

Good teacher

[@tomthompson7400]

great video

[@reneguay1347]

Just wondering what you thought about the primeweld 225 xt thanks

[@darrellolsen1204]

Cool video 😎👍

[@stevejennings3450]

Which hand do you hold the torch in?

[@captainkirk1745]

I want,to make repairs(welding) on my riding lawnmower, where the running boards/footrest have rusted some. Can it be done with a MIG welder?

[@garthbutton699]

It's all about the rythm🤗😎🤗😎

[@danielhurst8863]

Nice example using the peanut butter.

[@chriscooper9401]

What tig cup size is Luther using

[@Gingervitis1988]

Love the videos, just bought a TIG welder. Can your online course be applied to mild steel? Looking forward to learning just won’t be doing much aluminum.

[@WhiteWRXx]

More mild steel Vids!

[@4speed3pedals]

Everyone talks about the heat affected zone and never explain why it is bad. Besides 300 stainless steel permanently rusting from too much heat, thin metal warping and discoloration, what are the other issues and why is it bad for the finished job? I know in your example you showed the heat affected zone on a plate so people can see how far it spreads but does that hurt the steel plate? I have heated steel so I could bend it quite a few times and never had an issue and that was cherry red. I hope you can once and for all clarify this.

[@jaydotseedot]

I definitely need more practice on mild steel. Aluminum definitely seems easier to see what is happening.

[@nightheron714]

Good topic, great video, Dusty. I guess your next one will be: "Tig Welding Bread: Peanut Butter vs. ER70S"?

[@jamesh9678]

My ankle is killing me, pretty sure it’s from the foot pedal. Wonder if there is a mod I can do or a better one. Maybe I’ll get used to it.

[@daryl8210]

You didn't mention. The biggest problem with mild steel is the filler rod. Try to use regular mild steel rod and it all goes for a shit. Have the right rod (or stainless) and all the spitting and porosity stops !

[@robertweinstein6441]

What about thin gauge base metal…16 guage

[@gangleweed]

That's how my welds look.....black, but they don't ever fall apart.

[@turbowett]

this dudes the chris heria of welding

[@randyhertzberg7549]

I prefer to use stainless 309 to weld carbon steel

[@donm.1068]

The Thumbnail should say, Mine and the internet's

[@udntevenknow]

its mild steel run the hottest amps you can with the thickness material you are using without warping it. people forget its not stainless you can get away with a lot more amps as long as you arent risking the warp of the base metal. obviously clean the fuck out of it first

[@awaiskarni887]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@anthellis]

The camera angle changes every time he starts a new sentence. Dude, you over produce the crap out of your videos.

[@brentlittle3305]

All videos are the same commercial trying to sell his "course"

[@gregwilkins7649]

Great episode Dusty. 🪙🪙🪙

[@ularihansen2387]

Hey dusty ! 🦾 Would like to see u how to start and finish a weld i mean upslope and downslope why is it important specialy when u dont have pedal only 4T/2T Keep up the good work 🦾🦾
