I struck my first arc in 1971 in shop class. By 1979 I was a licensed fitter welder, I retired this past August 2020. Great career choice. My 21 year old grandson is currently nearing the end of his welding school. :)

im self taught. i work in IT (but love to fabricate). i start my arc on a scrap plate clamped to my job piece. gets the tip clean & hot, this makes my first contact easy and predictable on thin wall tubing. i have a $90 stick machine and zero training. these videos make life easier for anyone that lacks a teacher or experience💪🏼

[@cwoodside907]

I took 3 semesters of welding in community college and had a natural knack for it. 13 military years later, I’m soon restarting my youthful trade as a professional welder in a U.S navy shipyard. My weld instructor showed a “push and twist” arc start technique. Think of a 90 degree perpendicular axis with your electrode & wrist. As you come in for the first contact, “push and twist” the electrode. That 90 degree twist can help eliminate a potential electrode stick over the conventional match strike or scrape technique. Depending on the thickness, he also bent his electrodes in the stinger about 90 degrees. This gave the stinger more grip within the clamp to help from sticking or added tension to help pull it out when you did without leaving your electrode behind. Thought this was worth sharing 🙂

[@nicholashillikergod1stmini214]

Great info I'm gonna try it! Thank you sir

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

This is helpful, as well as your other tutorials. I actually did my first welding project at 10 yrs old with my father who was a welder for 35 years before retiring. He learned how to weld in the army and when he got home, he went thru an apprenticeship. We used to take trips to the junkyard for interesting items to make into animals. I had my bucket and after it was filled with goodies from metal pieces to large nuts and bolts. I made crickets, turtles, and all kinds of creatures. Dad is long gone now, but every once in a while I'll be thinking of him and I'll get a whiff of his cheap "Money Maker" Cigars and it brings me right back to those early years. Thank you pop. Your tutorials have really helped refresh my memory and it is like riding a bike- you never really forget how to ride...

[@paddydukes4889]

I'm really glad I stumbled upon this channel. I started working for a construction company as a fleet mechanic last year, and while I had experience with MIG over my past decade in automotive dealerships it was nowhere near enough welding experience to keep up with the workload here. Our higher ups were supposed to send me and another of my coworkers to welding classes to get up to speed, but staffing shortages in our shop and money shortages in the company kept us tied to the shop in order to keep things going. I was going to sign up for welding classes at our local community college just to get it done, but Covid restrictions made the wait list 8 months long at a minimum. I tried teaching myself stick welding but it did not go well AT ALL. This channel has taught me a lot in just a short few days and helped me to work on my weak spots and learn A LOT of new skills, all for just the cost of my time. So for that, thank you, Tim. You're doing a great job and I hope to learn more from you in the future!

I agree with “D”, your attitude and approach are SO much better than 75% of the welding videos out there. It seems like almost everyone talks down to the audience, but you don’t have the, “ I’m a pro and you are lucky I’ll even talk to you!” Arrogant attitude. Thanks for your vids Tim!

[@derekdeemie2074]

Awesome channel brother! A little over 20 years ago, I was an iron worker. I sanded, painted, and loaded flatbed trucks for delivery. Then I began being taught how to weld. The second morning I was to train, that sad day 9/11 happened. The next day, I was laid off, never to return to my welding journey. Now, I'm old and trying to teach myself how to weld. I bought one of those cheap little 20amp to 120amp welders and have attempted to practice at night. Two separate times, about 20 minutes each, all I managed to do was stick the rod to the piece, melt the piece, or turn it into Swiss cheese. You're right, SO frustrating. So I have KZbind the topic and luckily I found you. You seem easy to learn from and not a dick like I remember the iron worker teaching me was. Thank you for this video and this channel! I think I will learn a lot from you.

A lot of people don't know that you can also preheat your rod by touching the table or your work with the rod straight up and down and keeping pressure for eight to ten seconds, or until steam has released from the rod. It will stay hot for a minute and will be less likely to do a blow out on material thinner than your rod and also make a smoother looking finnish weld bead.

This is my first time using this electrode welding, i am a retired Chef's from Las Vegas, Nv. US now i am in Thailand, i don't like to buy wood for creating a table or other kind of furnitures because wood in Thailand are not 100% perfect there are tiny holes in it covered by saw dust that seems to be perfect but this are the tiny nest of a termites, i have to learn welding because i can create a metal furniture & on top of this, termites don't eat metals, i practice each time i have free time welding & i prefer my study from your website, i created me a portable sink using metal like 1cm x 2cm x 13 meters in US they used inch, also i created me a rest area by the farm using metal & cement but the surroundings are termites colony, i like your video, thank you for showing me more to master this kind of profession

[@haigjansz5643]

Great video, even after I have been welding on and off over 25 years. I find a new electrode on a new weld is more prone to sticking until it has been struck and used a little. After is is warm it is much easier. I also find rubbing the end of a new rod on the concrete helps to get the flux off the edge and enables the strike.

[@webosm6494]

I had all the troubles mentioned when i started. :) My biggest problem was the length of the stick and to keep it stable and the right distance from the material. Solved it by holding the rod in the middle, much more stable and striking an arc and a nice bead became much simpler. Then i cut the rods in two for the same reason. After a while it becomes easier and full length rods are no problem anymore.

[@mad_mechanic]

[@ellobo1326]

I taught myself to stick weld 45 years ago with zero guidance or instruction. I didn’t have an auto darkening hood and struggled to spark an arc behind the shade. I “cheated” and exposed my eyes many many times to a very brief arc and then put the shade in front of my eyes. I burned my eyes. Several hours after the welding session, it felt like someone was grinding sand into my eyes. Was very scary. I was lucky and suffered no permanent damage. I was young and ignorant and had no oversight.

Long time since I did any welding but I used to strike an arc by what I can only describe as "bouncing" the rod tip with a slight flick of the wrist movement. It's a way to start which if you bounce too much you just start again but you avoid sticking the rod to the work peice.

Better welders have a “hot start” feature. When striking the arc, the welder delivers more amperage for that short duration. That helps to prevent the sticking you sometimes get.

[@calvinhandley2373]

Horacio Salinas No idea without seeing the welds you're asking about. Are you getting good penetration?, what's the bead look like? If you're running practice beads keep stepping the amperage, a little at a time until you start seeing signs of excess amperage. For practice I recommend welding with as high an amperage setting as you can control with a good looking flat bead.

[@shadowcard6923]

For me just starting out, I learned using a forward match strike. Seemed to work well as it preps your position, let’s you ark and drag it back to weld over, and it’s almost like the coating keeps you from actually touching the plate after. I forget where I got the trick from.

On cleaning the end of a the electrode. I keep a small chunk of concrete paver on my bench to tap on, avoids it flashing and leaving arc strikes but is also super good

[@fab-riteweldingmaher6215]

Welding machines in the USA have an open voltage preset for hot starts. The machine quickly reverts back to normal working voltage which helps when striking the arc. In hotter climates with humidity (Australia) the machine has a VRD (voltage reduction device) to avoid the welder getting a shock with damp gloves etc. So much harder to strike an arc without porosity. I usually strike an arc with the rod straight in and then change the rod angle as required. Takes a bit more practise but you get even coverage from the flux plume. Hope this helps as it can be very frustrating.

I started welding as a hobby back in the early 70's. And worked sheetmetal for 32 years, Where we had to weld anything form thin sheet to 1/2 in. But by far, Not a certified welder. I was thinking one day on brake , About the tight spot I was working in and really had trouble even seeing the work pc. Which really made the sticking problem worse. Back then we all worked on our own cars, And evern street raced a little. And I thought about how a spark jumps better from a sharp edge of a spark plug. So I started to use a set of side cutters and cut my rods to a long sharp point. When I looked close there were acually 2 sharp points on the big point. With a vally running from them to the start of the cut. And all he rods did this when cut. For me it mad it about 80 percent better to get the weld started ! ! !

[@resspls10k]

Very helpful video, thanks! A little background story. Yesterday evening I was called for an emergency repair at a caravan trader my dad and I do repair jobs for. My dad has welded for 40+ years, I'm his assistant. "Is your dad home?" - "No, he's out of the country." "We need to have this square tube welded underneath this caravan before tomorrow morning, the welds broke... can YOU do it?" - "Well, it's been 10 years since I've last made a weld, and that was MIG/MAG, never by electrode. I can't promise the welds to become pretty..." "As long as they hold, we only need the square tube to put the caravan into place the last 100 metres at the farm it's going to." Rusty metal, bent, cracks to fill up, overhead position, small space to crawl underneath, long mains extension cord to the welder. So I took the thinnest basic coated electrodes I could find, 2 mm, and gave it a try. I spent about four fifths of my time figuring out how to prevent the electrode from immediately sticking to the metal, especially when I had to re-ignite it. I was only used to keeping one distance, adjusting the wire speed and current, et voilà! About an hour later I had finally done three electrodes worth of welding. But, most important, the next day I received another call "the weld held, customer is happy, thanks for helping out". And now I've been binge watching welding instruction videos on KZbin all evening - I should get to bed now. :-)

[@ES-hm5oc]

Thank you for basically teaching me to weld, recently bought a harbor freight welder for non critical welding hobby stuff, I have run into an issue I cannot find any info on or maybe I’m wording my search incorrectly. My welding rod, 6011, has a big fizz or sparkler effect every so often. I have been welding conduit pipe very thin, I should probably use 6013 but I’ve become quite proficient at welding this stuff by striking an arc letting it sit for about one second then pull away, doing this over and over until i get all the way around otherwise the conduit pipe 1/8” probably a little less just blows out big time. Basically I’ve been learning to weld on this stuff, your direction for amps and how to strike an arc was such valuable information thank you. I have never even welded thicker metal that wasn’t round yet but after 20 or so rods I’m no longer embarrassed by my welds and even got a compliment from a trade school welder. But why does my rod act like a sparkler at times, this typically happens when i pull away and the rod is several inches away from the metal but has a big fizz like the last seconds of a sparkler

[@jimmymaracas6442]

I’m new too and you probably have this long answered by now buuut the further away your rod, the wider and more cone shaped the arc will be. Get the rod closer and the arc will be smaller and more spherical rather than cone shaped.
