God bless you sir, I've been welding for 20 years and alot of experienced welders take joy in watching beginners struggle. it's takes men to show boys what manhood is. I've always been one to help and I really believe that is one of the things that set the best apart from the job scared guys. Love to see anyone get better at their craft. Your awesome brother

Hank Jr I agree ! When I started welding a Missouri Drydocks back in the middle 70’s there where some guys that would show you a few tricks but most of the would not show me little tricks of the trade to help me get to journeyman and it took me years to get there so when I got there I began teaching the new guys as soon as they hired on and most all them became journeyman in about a year or more

Hello Bob ! I'm a 70 year old disabled Vietnam vet, and have been learning welding, so I don't have to send out my work as my son and I build cars. I truly appreciate your excellent instructional videos, and my welding has improved a lot faster than I expected it to, due to the help you, and some others have published. Myself, and I'm quite sure, the other veterans who watch your videos, enjoy and learn quite a bit from the wonderful help you provide. THANK YOU !

I raised 4 sons alone and told them to help your neighbor when you can, I guess he was listening,according to all the letters and phone calls I received pertaining to his way of helping others. My grandma always told me that you will never get rich helping others but you will die a wealthy person.

Thanks for the video Bob, to many people think they have to buy these very expensive welding machines to TIG weld and the reality is all they need is a buzz box, argon bottle and TIG torch. I weld off my gas drive all the time, its how I learned to weld years ago. you learn arc control very quickly when you have 200- 300 feet of welding cable drug out threw a paper mill, you cannot be running back and forth to the truck to adjust amperage when your welding Stainless pipe.

AC or AC/DC the younger generation will call them old fashioned transformer machines, down and dirty straight welding machines not an inverter machine. For AC on aluminum you can get a HF and your off and running. Simple and works great.

I learned how to weld with a Lincoln AC-225 back in high school. Did a bit of DC welding around the ranch with a Lincoln "Pipeliner" unit, but never really knew the difference since they both seemed to work the same for the steel pipe we were using for fencing. 20 or so years ago, I stumbled across an AC-225 on Craigslist and I've used it for a lot of things, including 200+ ft of steel picket fencing built from scratch in my backyard. There's some things that I really wish I had a TIG unit for. Is there anyway to adapt the AC-225 for TIG or must it be DC?

Any tips you have on dialing in the settings for different arc characteristics.

I must have had my old stick welder for at least 30 years and it was anything but new when I bought it. It's survived years of storage in a leaky shed and literally being stood on when it got in the way. I swear I could run a small truck over it and it would continue to work! It only goes up to 150 Amps, but that seems adequate for my needs. Several years ago I bought an almost identical TIG torch with a view to using it to TIG alongside stick, MIG and oxy/ace. I now have no excuse to delay - other than changing my Argoshield Lite (argon/CO2/O2 blend) for pure argon. Maybe have both? Thanks. You make it look so simple, but I think I'll find it isn't when I start; just as I did for the other methods of stitching two pieces of metal together.

I weld aluminum with a similar set up using an old Lincoln AC/DC Ideal Arc, the old 'bullet proof' last forever welder with the rounded top. To weld aluminum use 100% Argon, use copper to ball the tip of the tungsten electrode and to avoid contamination of the electrode always initiate the arc on copper placed next to the base aluminum to be welded. For copper a flattened 1" [or larger] hard copper tube coupling works well. At home I rarely weld thin aluminum, it's hard to justify spending $2K on an AC Tig welder. I also own a DC Mig with spool gun but it is best used on thick aluminum. Excellent informative video, thanks !

Retired Boilermaker(35yrs), I used to teach the apprentice how to weld "without" using their wrist or elbows to lean on. Lesson 1 show them how to walk the cup with the electric off, once they got the idea then I would turn on the power, just like the old timer showed me, learn how to weld without leaning on my elbows or wrist.

Any tips for "tapering out " to prevent crators at every stop? All the vids I've seen says go up the side of the bevel before you snap out you don't always get a bevel to snap out of especially on the cover Pass.

Once you get to the end of your pass, try and angle the torch tip to the edge of the weld. Say you’re tig torch is at a 45* while welding, as you get to terminate the weld, angle it up and away. (Slowly) You’ll see the puddle diminish. Just try and guide it to the edge as it’s getting smaller. Hope this helps you out.

Bob, I'm having problems blowing holes in thin wall tube. I'm only using 50 amps on 14 ga tube, but it seems like as soon as I get a puddle, I open a big key hole.

Funny how you have a ventilation for welding fumes, we make brackets for. Can't name them but you know who, they make cranes as well for maximum extention on smoke vents. I really like that fact about my workplace 😁helping welders stay healthy and cool all over the world 👍🏻🌍😘

We used to fill a 5 gallon bucket with distilled water and drop a small submersible pump in to use a water cooled torch. We had an old acetylene hanger to shut off the gas. using a copper scratch pad was useful for avoiding marking up an expensive part (Tool & Die welding).

Well it's funny to run into this vid. I am setting up a rig for my buddy, with a few differences. I am using a Miller thunderbolt AC/DC machine. But I am using a normal power block for tig welding using a water torch. I am doing this because I can use a much smaller torch head and smaller tungsten. I was lucky I was a Heliarc, Tig welder for 40 years, never had more fun at any job I had.
