This is the final 6010 practice plate video leading up pipe.
Now that this one is posted, I will also make a playlist of all three videos and include the 5g 6010 downhill video when it posts as well.
Practicing using plate before jumping on pipe can be more efficient because plate is somewhat less expensive and is very easy to prepare for welding.
This one is overhead using 1/8”6010 for the root and 5/32” 7010 for the fill and cap.

Overhead welding may seem a bit difficult for beginners, but with practice it turns out to be a very easy thing

[@erikdude666]

Andrew is a fricken machine. Im also consistently amazed at the video quality of the welding itself. Seeing exactly whats happening with clear instruction is the best teaching method.

[@freedomwatches2454]

Great work! Slowing it down shows those who don't know but those who do understand that it's an intuitive dance that takes lots of practice.

[@kenjett2434]

I do so much welding with AC rods trying to run DC rods is a struggle. The heat settings are so different between them and that is so important to how your able to control the puddle.

[@philipbarker7672]

Excellent arc shot. Had to keep reminding myself this is actually overhead. Great skill.

Great job guys! Andrew your quite the welder, man! Jody, loving the video quality and overall content! Thank you. Be blessed gentleman!!!

Just started learning overhead, with 6010. Very frustrating. But im still somewhat new to welding.

you boys making it look and sound so easy. i've tried welding it's actually really hard

[@permheadsatikogintoki9304]

I do welding it's not hard if u get the right training

[@colepellegrin5491]

It’s a trade that requires a lot of practice and attention to detail. It’s going to take time to find your style of how you weld. If you look around, you’ll see welders with the same technique but the welds look different. It’s like handwriting, we all know how to write words and we all learned how to do it in different ways, but everyone writing looks different. Give it some practice and try new things. Hell, when I started welding, I was taught to drag 6010, after watching some videos and practicing different techniques, I became comfortable with the whip method and I believe my welds look better and are more structurally solid. Don’t be afraid to try new things at all and know you are gonna mess up, when I first started the whip method, my keyholes were so huge for my root that I had to completely restart my joint. After time practice and advice I got better, I’m not perfect but my welds pass xrays and bend tests.

@@colepellegrin5491 that's very cool only thing giving me problem is horizontal it's like no matter hw I try it's not coming out good but I am still practising tho

[@colepellegrin5491]

Perm Head Satiko Gintoki what’s your procedure, do you do a 6010 root and 7018 fill and cap or are you strictly trying to practice just 6010 and what joint are you doing like a 2F or 2G?

[@permheadsatikogintoki9304]

@@colepellegrin5491 I use a 6010 rooting rod and 7018 capping rod and it's a 2g position and I use the c technique but it's not working so I decide to do the whipping technique

[@PipeweldingNomad]

Great camera angles. That’s exact what you want to see. Just a tip that helped me out: it can be very easy to miss your steps while you’re capping. Pay attention to the back of that puddle - if you can see a bright white shadow/c shape behind your puddle, it means you’ve got a low spot!

[@joseramirez5298]

Am I the only one that loves the smell of 6010??😍

[@shyannejohnson5334]

Another great video Jody. I wish my 62 year old eyes could see those details when I'm welding. I know the theory and have the equipment but struggle to see anymore.

Brilliant job👌👌👌

[@kenjett2434]

Overhead welding one of the hardest skills i have ever tried. They make it look easy here but it isnt i still can't make a clean looking over head although i rarely have a job where its needed. This would definitely take routine practice and a very steady hand to do well. But seeing this technique up close can help.

[@NoorAlam-xr6qw]

Excellent video

[@theralphster8492]

Great video gentlemen, haven't actually watched it yet but I know it'll be a good one, they all are !! I wanted to be the first to post a comment !!I'm just a hobby welder from the UK, been tigging for 10 years on DC, always learn from your videos Jody, just got an AC/DC set so keen to try aluminium...or if you prefer aluminum !! Dave.

[@marcotte6608]

Did you reverse polarity for the 7010? In structural we use 7010 for welding decking and I can't explain how much better they burn on decking in reverse polarity

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

I agree but sometimes a welding procedure requires reverse

So for all these rods you'll keep the machine at 90? Cause it still seems too hot an my bead isn't sticking as well.I keep dropping alot of slag.

[@jktodd1234]

Thank you!

[@slcbodyshop]

Im a beginner. Is this technique only for 6010/7010? What is the difference with 7018

[@445supermag]

Funny, if I had to have made a prediction before seeing the video, I would said whip on the root and steady on the hot pass but it turns out to be just the opposite.

[@beachboardfan9544]

Why whip at all? I weld 90 A 3/32 7018 overhead a lot no whip, you get hot stuff that falls off but there's still good deposition. Is this a 6010 specific thing?

[@apihmohd]

Andrew make hard things looks easy 😅

[@ktcgarage8572]

Jody, If you have time I have a quick question that came up today while I was practicing. I was running Hobart 7018 1/8 rods on 1/8 plate just padding beads and trying a few things 110-120 amps I really started making some beautiful welds when I would rest the flux barely against the base metal and let the rod just run dragging it I’ve seen all your videos and you talk about a short arc and I’ve never heard you say that’s bad or good to let it touch the base metal I mean these beads were perfect I could barely feel the metal dragging on the rod and just let it sink against the metal as the rod burned Good idea or is that wrong? Thank you and anyone else that comments I burned about half a ten pound box today. Haha My 6010 is getting better too Thank you so much for all you do to help us and if you haVe time to comment thank you for that too

[@chiku_adorable6549]

Sir i wanna learn welding with your good team . Could you help me?

@Willem - they are called "pancake" helmets. Sarge, Windy's, Empyre South all make them. A lot of pipeline welders and boilermaker welders use them.

[@lunevermeil1400]

Wait, straight drag no whip on 6010? Or did I see that wrong. My school has us whip 6010 100% of the time. My teacher lectured me for switching from whip to drag 6010 on some run off tabs for groove plate. Artist in welding school to make the leap to construction following my Pa's advice finally :)
