Thanks for the information. Really helps me figure out what I'm doing wrong.Just got my first mig welder. Using .035 flux core wire and no gas.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Awesome good luck, Im hoping to do some videos on flux core soon. Thanks for watching!!!!

My problem is seeing the weld. Do not know what is safe shield settings to protect eyes so think I’m doing good but results are scary. Sad part my dad and brothers were iron workers😢

[@ACDesignsGarage]

As for shade numbers for Mig I use #10 to 11unless your running high amperage around 180 or higher. A good way to tell if your lens is not dark enough after you weld your eyes get tired if thats the case jump up a number higher on the shade. Ill drop a video link below I made a while back on seeing your welds. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHbQaZJnq5Jnra8si=hjp14swljUvy-nyV

Dont look at the bright arc. Look just behind it at the puddle.

[@georgevossen3846]

Thanks

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks for watching!!!!

[@Isaiah-lp2gz]

On another video you mention you prefer dragging the electrode vs pulling. This video you were pulling all the welds. Please explain. Thnx. Awesome video btw.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you, draggin and pullin is the same, pushing and pulling is different lol I just call things different with the same meaning lol thanks for watching multiple videos!!!!!

[@morgansword]

I weld one way and others will weld another but bottom lines are the penetration, and using a proper gas for your wire or materials placed together. I can't with a lot of success weld a pop can together an not get some issues plus I like to push as to pull on my welds... depends on angles and the thickness of metal I am joining

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I need to try the drink can sometime, I've always wanted to try but never do. It looks very challenging!!!

[@rtkracht]

Thanks!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Man I greatly appreciate it, Thank you!!!!!

[@Dave-lw9lx]

Thanks 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you!!!!

[@garyhelms1889]

Just before you begin welding is your tip (the wire that is) touching the surface or "almost" touching the surface??

[@ACDesignsGarage]

You can lay it on or I'll have it pretty close, just as long as you don't have it a long ways away no more than a 1/4 inch at max.

[@immytay65]

What about too much gas pressure?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Yeah I was debating putting it in there, I had to narrow it down from 10 to 5 lol

[@Papa-gr2zi]

I’d be interested if there is a way to determine correct flow without a flow meter. A flow meter is on my wish list. Thank you and take care.

[@RexAndrew1]

Good information. How about showing what happens if you don’t clean the dirt and rust off the surface well enough?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I may do a video on that thanks!!!!

[@SaulGonzalez-pe2ie]

How do you keep your welds so straight?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

You can layout lines with soap stone or chalk!

[@jimmckinstry4788]

How to see when meg welding. I have a real problem going in a straight but weld

[@ACDesignsGarage]

That can be a tough one. Ill link a video on some tips below that may help you!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHbQaZJnq5Jnra8

[@franksocia5974]

Now would anyone do any of this I was with my dad at11 so I can’t say I knew this at 13 Could tack

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Youd be surprised, I just posted some pictures of the house we stayed in and the welds looked way worse than this lol

[@jjclarkson3261]

Can you show us welding a rusted exhaust pipe that wants to blow through? I last used a washer to hold and join, then two straight pieces of muffle clamp U-bolts (cutting off with grinder) to provide structural strength. It was tricky.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Sounds tricky, I may try to do a video on it if you want.

[@kradikt666]

I like how you are still working the material and trying to stay in front of the pool with the cursive e

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you!!!
