[@tuckerjustice2232]

first video I’ve seen about sanitary tubing that is actually worth watching.

[@BlueCollarDrew]

Not much content out there! That’s what inspired me to make this.

[@jondavidmcnabb]

AGREED!!! DUDE KNOWS HIS SHIT!!!

[@Altruistic-Viking]

@@BlueCollarDrew hi, I hope you don’t mind answering a couple of questions, being a skilled stainless steel welder I’m surprised to put it mildly, have watched multiple welding vids 3 things seems to repeat regarding Americans welding and I’d REALLY like to know why that is… 1. Argon as purging gas ? It’s unstable and uncontrollable unless you have hours to patiently wait. 2. Discoloration on the root, in Europe we have a color schedule to follow, especially in any applications involving food, water or other consumables, even a slight yellow color isn’t approved, you do not have something similar?? Looking at comments it appears that an almost black root is acceptable 😮 3. walking the cup, and foot pedal why ? I’ve never seen any other than Americans doing it like that… of course I’ve tried and practiced the techniques but it seems irrelevant as far as a good end result. 4. No slope down when stopping a weld, alarm bells are howling 😳 crater prevention is one thing but protecting the hot surface is another, are you taught to do things this way??? Not telling you what to do, I’m just baffled and curious 🙏 Thank you for doing a good job teaching others

[@Cptnbond]

As a young aspiring welder, this was fantastic. Please continue with more tips on sanitary welding. Cheers.

[@liamhumm6785]

FINALLY. Someone who knows what they're talking about when it comes to food grade sanitary welding. Great stuff keep up the good work!

[@lukeholm88]

Really like this video. Just wish it existed when I first started.

[@tysonlws]

Great Video Drew! As someone who has been in the food grade industry side of welding/fitting for over 12 years now, I found your video brief, concise, and accurate on all topics. 10/10!

[@BlueCollarDrew]

Thanks! Its great to hear feedback from someone in the industry..

[@victorlopes8341]

Do you have a email my friend.

‘Don’t hit the Subscribe button. That’s the best way to tell me you don’t like my content’ 😂 I subscribed immediately.

[@izumimarcelo]

Great video man! Nice content aswell the way you present it. Keep up the good work

[@bradleyfjackson]

This might be the best welding video on KZbin.

[@6pekXX]

Great content and well explained! Thanks for sharing !

[@ForgeGiven]

Great video! I appreciate your no-nonsense way of explaining the details. I would really enjoy a walking the cup tutorial from you. I've been learning multiple industries for 18 years and that is one I haven't done yet. Gotta stay flexible on the left coast 🤣

[@jacobcreech6287]

How can I like this video twice

[@theabsentmindedprofessor8357]

This would have been most useful around 1999 when I retired from the US Navy as a tig welder, I welded Stainles, aluminum, inconel, and high carbon steel, did a massive amount of heat treating and annealing, along with some bubble work with magnesium and titanium. I worked on burn cans from Pratand Whitney Engines as well as tail pipes from EA-6B aircraft and everything else in between. I was looking for a specific fields to get into but had no direction as to what was avaliable out their. This part of this Video alone is Golden. Thank you and what you are doing is incredibly valuable to the aspiring welder in today's world. Great content!

[@thedpfteam2423]

Great video man! Definitely following.

[@adamsheffield4704]

Pharma grade sanitary will usually be done with an automated orbital welder. Hand welds in lower criticality process lines or where the weld head won’t fit.

[@austinmckenzie3688]

I wanna see the trailer video and the purge video. This was a great video

[@Prettynoise]

Let's see a purge vid as well as what you take on the road. Great info and thanks!

[@nickstachowiak5717]

Awesome video, thanks for making it. Your video was loaded with good intel. Thanks!

[@OVERCAPITALIZE]

Loving this. More sanitary videos.

[@chriskoon5620]

Thank you for all the information, very helpful. You should definitely keep putting information out there. Good Man

[@jorgeamoranto]

You are one of few that I’ve seen that also doesn’t weld with gloves on. Keep it up buds.

[@1stMolten_Alchemist]

Totally down for a purge video! Excellent welding content for anyone who's inspired by pro tips. Thanks man!

[@scottmurphy1563]

Great video! Thank you for posting💯 I am currently learning on my own to tig weld sanitary tubing at work. You're video has been the most informative by far. Great angles of the welding process also. Thanks again!

[@catsmoothies3414]

very helpful thanks for sharing your experience.

[@misplacedpawn]

Informative, straightforward, and very helpful. Thanks a ton man!

[@levijeska8961]

Great video! Was half tempted to do a video of my own. But you covered everything a guy needs to know

[@laddcraner4170]

Great content!!

[@ieatslag5947]

This is a suuuper solid video. Glad it was recommended to me.

[@johnw4590]

Straight to the point! Excellent video

[@grumpycricket]

Fascinating! I learned so much that I didn't know about sanitary welding. I'm a tool & die welder, and I've welded hydraulic piping at stamping plants on occasion. I've always diy purged, now I can up my game ... thanks! ... and subbed!

[@donleejr7624]

AWESOME THANKS!!!!! I DO THIS IN MY SLEEP!!!!!

[@noride11]

What a treasure trove! Thanks Drew

[@ironc5194]

Deff looking forward to the purge set up haha!

[@rockyrodriguez1340]

Please keep making more videos on this, as many as you can, even if it’s on tips on how to feel more comfortable kneeling anything that has to do with sanitary tube and pipe I’m all eyes and ears!!!

[@psp7784]

Awesome video! Like most people said, good content and straight to the point. Be interested in seeing your tool trailer.

[@jeretpolivka2225]

Only true video out there about this topic🔥

[@bartletscott]

[@jaykay8550]

Very nice video ty!

[@halledwardb]

Great video!

[@cristiananghel6148]

Good job!

[@sss-op6km]

probably the best video out there

[@Honeyddripdiddler]

Dude despite working all day with this shit with nobody willing to teach.... I watch videos constantly. This was exactly what I wanted... like no shifty rap music... no guff.. two videos I want are the cup walk cuz I never use it.. cuz like you said I don't know it. Was never trained and just told go go go go. And also amperage... I use the max star. On 1-2 inch I'm usually 48 amps on fittings on a tur table.... I can tell if it's too cold but ... same base lines or rules of thumbs help for everything. Cheers. I'm subscribed so pump out those videos

[@dominicgandy8360]

Really professional video I would love to watch any further videos you make on this subject Thanks for this

[@Tuesday_Gaming]

Trying to insert some sensors into a research project for college that uses stainless steel pipes to transport hot gas. The guy who welded everything to start graduated and it’s look like I’m gonna have to learn to put some pipes and flanges together myself. This video helped me out a lot

[@user-hc8xb8tm6c]

Fascinating

[@pedrolanhas4120]

No doubt you are extremely efficient and thanks for the precious information, but your welding with no gloves? YES a video on purging with Argon for S Steel tubes is very welcome. Thank you so much from an amateur in Portugal.

[@alexhernandez0003]

Nice tips

[@scotts8218]

Awesome video , I hope to see more ..

[@loganharper8054]

This could very well be the most underrated welding video on youtube.

[@nathana.keenjr.4841]

Very informative, defiantly answered my main question of how to execute while keeping post flow!.

[@krispribanic9288]

Enjoyed the video, keep them coming.

[@mattfuchs7626]

Great explanation and explaining tail off and how to avoid sugar

[@zacharytroiano4895]

[@spicelife6338]

Excellent, thank you

[@dirtbike9432]

We need a purge video!

[@WorstTasteEver]

This is right up there with the indepth look at welding tests for valuable, 'how to actually do a real job' information. Thanks for your work on it.

[@terencemcleod1341]

Great video my guy! Spot on!

[@jason-things_to_do]

[@precisionarc]

Great video, haven't done sanitary but a fair amount of pipe requiring purging and have always wanted to know more about this...subscribed! Would be very interested in how to achieve the right purge pressure

[@haxguy0]

Wow this was very informative. Thank you

[@jbell254]

Well done.

[@2424DMC]

I actually got a yes welder just to see if I really wanted to tig, I’ve since got an everlast 161 and it’s been an awesome machine. The live lift is great for this.

[@Eden_Maker]

Wow. Amazing information. I'm in the trades and never heard most of this.

[@jimking9646]

nice job

[@DudleyToolwright]

Excellent explanations. A natural teacher.

[@gerardoalbertochilisoescob174]

I loved the video 👍👍👍👍 keep it up 👍

[@ccrdns]

Very good video. You kept it quick simple with out missing any important info. Its so true "people that say not to walk cup is because they don't know how".

[@timothyhendershott9333]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Most guy are pretty stingy and guard anything that might help. Keep the video coming. Thanks again. Sparky

[@colonialroofingofnorthcaro441]

I'm a sponge for getting better and learning as much as I can, so any video you think is useful I want to see, thanks for the video and God bless and keep you in Jesus name

[@JOROZC7009]

Been doing this for 4 years now, oh how I wish you would've posted this then lol Very good video and very informative

This is absolutely awesome information. Every time I try to find info on this topic for my students there’s nothing available. Not anymore. I’m gonna be showing this video to all my students running sanitary welding from now on. Thank you so much man!

[@terencemcleod1341]

Hey Drew make a cup walking piece, I'm sure you will explain it as well as you have this one💯

[@rd_hurley]

This video is great. Just got a call last night to weld some 316 6” tube. Got some great tips from this. Thanks!

[@cheyennewhite9167]

Working doing sanitary at a brewery now. I'd love to see what you bring with you on the road. Also, any tips on getting a little better pipefitting training? I like how you lay things out with iso paper.

[@uber_na_d3r]

nice content bro, subbed

[@samcarrs]

Great info. I’m working on stainless boat rails, top and davits. I haven’t seen this process on KZbin yet. Lots of other tig videos out there on basics. Cheers

[@davidgauvin3075]

Very nice video 👍

[@justinwenger5218]

Top notch like always brotha great video

[@hanford_adventures]

i love sanitary welding. Ive been doing it for about 3 years here in the PNW

[@johnbichell8023]

Outstanding presentation. I

[@edusab5310]

Excelente vídeo Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos saludos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪

[@frederickoftel4683]

Thanks for the great tips, excellent commentary, and amazing photography. Really enjoyed the video. I just plugged in my unit, cut a 10 gallon tank and got up the courage to do my first (in 40 years) fusion weld. Making a keg cleaning machine for the backyard brewery. Any tips or suggestions about adding angle drains from the true bottom of weird vessels like old milk suction tanks? Anyhow, thanks for the great video.

[@EnriqueGonzalez-iu3so]

Awesome work ! I am a dentist but I love this kind of welding.. is amazing thanks for sharing! Greetings from Mexico

[@phillipchambers8487]
