[@Mtlmshr]

Well after 33 years as a Fabby its so fricken cool to see a woman Fabby that's so into it! Where were you in my life 30 years ago!! Rock on girl!!!!

[@palabrisas]

I suscribe. It pleases me to know that every day there are more women integrating in the field of construction, and especially in the field of welding. Women to power !!! Greetings from the Basque Country (Euskal Herria)

[@daxinventor3542]

Everybody has a gift and your gift is going to make you a fortune. Thanks for the video's.

[@robfielding100]

I loved this! I’m an English Longbowman. I would really like to give welding a try. You are the prettiest welder I’ve ever seen 😊 … they usually have 2 foot beards😂. Cheers

[@BarbieTheWelder]

🤣😂😜 Thank you!! Definitely give it a try if you’re drawn to it! I have a free guide on my website that will answer any questions you have in getting started!

[@gerbos87]

Hello Barbie, Thank you for your site. Just found you on Utube. I am a 63 year old retired male Nurse. Have been Gathering Info on Welding table builds. Enjoyed your videos. Your Dad must be proud. I have a 30 year old daughter who's just finishing her MSW. I'm sure I'll write again, Kevin H.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+kevin hortens thanks for taking your time to watch and write! 💙👩‍🏭

[@stevebanjo197]

Barbie , Love your videos , I spent most of my career as a field mechanic for a Cat Dealer , I can only weld good enough to get by when repairing equipment. I have learned tons from your videos !!!! My daughter also works in a male dominated profession, she is very good at taking ego driven comments with a grain of salt. She has taught me a lot about a lot of things :) Please keep making videos and working as a welder !!!

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+Steve Banjo Thanks for your support and for raising a strong young woman!!

[@stevestewart7808]

Hello! I'm a novice, a "newbee", and an "old geezer" to boot! This project has given me a LOT of inspiration. I watched your story and am REALLY impressed with the determination you've exhibited to reach professional status. Keep up the GREAT work....I'm a solid "Barbie" fan now! Keep these super videos coming please....

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Thank you kindly! Happy welding!☺️💙👩‍🏭

[@davidmays7102]

wow this woman can do anything. very creative

You honor me! Thank you so very much for the love! I appreciate you!!☺️⚡️❤️‍🔥👩🏻‍🏭

[@trrond]

I need to get back to make art again... So inspiring to see your work...

[@PropNut]

I like your personality, you can't fake that!

[@BarbieTheWelder]

☺️

[@stephendickinson9145]

I like your work and videos. I am starting to make some scrap art too and your step by step instructions are very helpful. I found using some welding magnets from Harbor freight helps hold the pieces together so I can spot weld easier

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Smart! I’m happy you’re finding the videos helpful! What’s your favorite one so far? What project would you like to see?

[@kerrijodierberger]

I listened to your story about how you got started plasma cutting and welding, you mentioned you had absolutely no support and no one believed in you, but you knew in your heart what your passion was, and had this talent in your soul. I’m amazed at your story and your talent. You have proven all those people wrong. Good for you. I have a similar story, with no support and became a car painter, but because it was mainly a mans world and women weren’t in this line of work no one believed in me, but I proved them all wrong and followed my heart and passion. I am now retired and am interested in plasma art and welding. I watch your videos and give me inspiration. I’m 58 years young and love learning new things. Thank you for sharing your story, and very beautiful artistic talent. Love your passion. Always be true to yourself, and believe in you, never ever listen to what people say you can’t do. I love to bow target as well. I only fish, but love to do archery.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

I’m proud of you! 🤘🏻☺️💙👩‍🏭

[@buddycraftsman]

👏👏👏👍💯 This is a great idea and looks awesome❗ 😎👨‍🔧

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Thank you Buddy!

[@philbaumgaertner2275]

I started MIG welding 2 years ago, and wish i had seen a video like yours much earlier :-). Getting a air driven "die grinder" was a big step forward for me - so much easier to control. Didn't know about the pencil grinder - have to try that one as well. Thanks for the video - well done. Pretty sure you meant stainless steel "silverware" but glad you clarified :-)

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Thank you kindly Phil!! Happy welding my friend!!

[@thetwogardens6048]

Good Project , Ill give it a go !

[@sydtamashiro8155]

Awesome! I like how you explain with show & tell demonstration from start to finish. I haven’t done any utensil type of art work yet, just ordered a lot of utensils from eBay. Not a metal artist but I recently did a hex nut & a turtle project, which to my surprise turned out great, and my wife decided to keep them both. Aloha & thanks for sharing your how to project.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

☺️☺️☺️

[@skkfor]

Waaaay cool and nicely done. I'm a long-time woodworker recently converted to a metal art welder. Enjoying it immensely. Never expected to like it SOOO much. Many thanks for the vid!

[@stephenpayne1121]

Hi Barbie! You've inspired my daughter to create some pieces from forks and spoons! My question is about spot welding stainless steel forks and spoons with flux core wire on the MIG welder without the use of gas. Is this possible? If heard differing opinions. Any thoughts you have would be most appreciated! Your projects are so creative!

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Tack welding with flux core works just the same as gas mig, just more smokey 😉

[@earlc5990]

Love your brain...it's kickass

[@TheReviewKing909]

Can you tell me what machine and tools I should buy if I want to learn how to weld yard art? Also do you have a video with a step by step instructions?

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Depending on the size of the art you want to make.

[@cjdavis825]

Great job.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+clark davis Thanks for watching!💙👩‍🏭

[@billylatham9183]

Keep on Keeping on , GOOD JOB!

[@laurapackard3243]

Silly question. For someone who has never welded, is there another technique to provide the same stability in connecting the metals? I don’t suppose soldering would do the trick? And if not, what (Inexpensive) beginner welding machine would you recommend? Thank you in advance

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Not silly at all!! amzn.to/3oXbNVm is an inexpensive and easy welding machine that will allow you to weld a wide variety of projects!

[@bobprice9244]

I've done a lot of flatware art. It's really quick. I prefer Tig welding over mig welding because the welds can be .030 wide.

[@BladeforgerKLX]

Very very nice!!! FYI, I just ordered the horseshoe book from Amazon, promise to review it (if it's good, which I suspect it is), and followed ya on farcebook, and subscribed to your youtube. Thanks for all the cool videos.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+BladeforgerKLX Thank you!😊

[@darsimowery8562]

I’m interested in trying some of the silverware sculptures but know very little about welding. I have a Harbor Freight store not too far away. Was wondering what kind of welder to use and what settings you use?

[@BarbieTheWelder]

A mig welder with gas that runs on 110. amzn.to/3qz6adA

[@gravedigger5279]

Awesome

[@chrisgrimyser2643]

Hi Barbie, If I recall correctly, did you say you use a tumbler to clean parts to remove something so they are not toxic when you weld them ? If so can you briefly touch on that subject Thanks and great work and thanks for teaching us some of your skills

[@navarromercedes8369]

!!Excelente Muy bonito!! Muchas gracias por compartir tus habilidades genia!!. saludos.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Thank you kindly

[@jayvonosinski5706]

Very much enjoy your videos... thanks . What wire do you use on the silverware? We ER70s-6 work?

[@BarbieTheWelder]

I use .030 er70s-6 It’s steel wire but will weld stainless steel silverware. When I’m finished I use a clear coat spray paint made for metal.

[@Vatsek]

Very nice project.

[@williamcorrea1082]

Hi, did you use Argon or any gas for welding ?, or just the MIG machine?

[@BarbieTheWelder]

75/25 with the MIG argon with tig

[@machinesmotorcycles5511]

I like it

[@oceanpout5232]

That was aewsome

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+oceanpout Thank you!😊

[@faustinomartinez6744]

Excelente muy hermosa, tienes la herramienta necesaria para tantos proyectos,saludos sigue iluminando.

[@tapaniturku9324]

You have to eat with your fingers as you make great artwork from your cutlery at that pace🥰💙

[@BarbieTheWelder]

🤣😉

[@Ghost6466]

I can't wait to try this. I wonder if my wife will notice the missing silverware?

[@BarbieTheWelder]

🤣🤣🤣she will if she’s anything like my kids who definitely noticed!🤣🤣🤣

[@ytkealoha]

Can you mentioned amps and wire speed etc when you do these? Great work. Thanks!

[@JR-qz3zt]

Re Silc, It totally depends on what welder you have, what size wire you are running, what type of gas you are using and a few other things. I always suggest using some similar size scapes to tune your welder if you are a beginner and just trying to figure it all out. Hope that helps.

[@casper1240]

good vid thanks ive done a lot of welding with mild steel etc only jut started welding cutlery findin git a bit tricky any tips ?

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+casper1240 TIG weld and only use stainless steel silverware. Silverplate wont weld for nothing!

[@zoranbilbiloski652]

A proper welding table and I love it,what can you tell me about those welding gloves(Power of Blue)?Nice green shamrock tattoo for good luck!

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+Zoran Bilbiloski Miller heavy duty MIG gloves that I love!! I'm super tough on gloves and these actually have lasted a while.

[@gottoweld5201]

I would like to see you make to welders welding pipe maybe with a side boom holding one of the pipe and the other on skids

[@usernamemykel]

MIG is so fast and precise, but requires gas for best results, from what I've read. Could this type of precise work be done with arc/stick welding?

[@darksentinel9304]

Looks like one of Peggy hills sculptures

[@andrewpaulson2877]

I love it,

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+Andrew Paulson Thank you!😊

[@johnprice1105]

Are you welding with gas or flux core and what amps does it go down to, watched your vid on your table i have a stailess steel table could i use this as my welding table, novice only got a welder about six months ago and since realised it's to much for thin material, like your vids you explain without it sounding like its a lecture ☺

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+John Price Gas welding. My amps won't help you unless you have the same exact material and machine. I have a video on MIG welding that might help if you're looking to dial in your machine! Thanks for taking your time to watch my videos!💙👩‍🏭

[@alejandroalvarez4535]

Eres ARTE.🌹🙏🏽❤️👌🏾

[@galaxydiscounters3344]

Your awesome:)

[@baconsledge]

I used to buy spoons by the hundreds from Goodwill for welded flowers and almost cleaned out 4 stores worth for a whole summer.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+Bob Stout lol yes me too!!! They can’t figure out why I go through so many!😜

[@casper1240]

ive only just started this and went mad buying loads of cutlery off charity shops and ebay not really sure what cutlery you can weld i tried the stick welder but it just burned up the metal,im now using the mig its a lot better but i cant seem to get the right setting (must try harder) as my teacher used to tell me .im using gasless cored mig wire any suggestions would be helpful thanks

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+casper1240 that should work as long as your have enough heat and your welding stainless steel silverware

[@casper1240]

I have difficulty recognising what material cutlery is i did some yesterday welded it with the Mig found out later it was brass never thought that would weld wierd would the magnet test work on cutlery ?

[@BarbieTheWelder]

+casper1240 Most is Stainless Steel so not on that or on silver plated only the cheaper steel stuff.

[@fungiilluminati]

What kind of mig wire are you using and, what are your welder brand/settings?

[@BarbieTheWelder]

My settings won’t help you because every welder weld at a different speed and your settings will be different depending on what’s right for you. Inside your machine is a chart that gives you beginning parameters to work with for the material thickness, the material type and your wire size that you’re using use it to start with and then adjust from there. I personally run 030 wire in a 110 mig welder The thinner wire melts at a lower temperature and allows me to weld thicker and thinner steel.

[@fungiilluminati]

@@BarbieTheWelder I meant, by brand, do you use a Miller or Lincoln or what? And by settings I mean is your wire speed 220 and voltage 15 or what? Yr es, every welder has numbers like 5,6,7,8 and can vary between maker as to what they represent but most welding rigs show the digital resign in voltage and Amps.

[@Paul-Mac]

Nice work! Do u have stainless wire in your welder?

[@Paul-Mac]

If u said in the video I missed it : )

[@omt578]

As usual, great!, kisses

[@LoriBurkett-w4q]

Can i flux core weld wire silverware with Blue Demon Stainless Steel 308LFC-0 gasless flux core MIG wire?

[@BarbieTheWelder]

You should be able to flux core weld with the stainless steel wire, as long as the silverware is stainless steel. It won’t work on silver plate.

[@whiskey7959]

Are you using a special type wire to weld the spoons together or is it just everyday wire?

[@whiskey7959]

Everyday wire meaning... a Flux Core Welding Wire or wire used for Sterling Silver?

[@Unclejohntyskitchen]

Brilliant job I'll have to try make one myself!

[@martijnvdbrakel7578]

do you use a mig welder with protection gass or one with filled flux wire ? i now solder the cutlery but wanna use a welder, i see on other youtube movies its also possible to weld with stainless steel cutlery ? thanks

[@BarbieTheWelder]

MIG with 75/25 gas and .030 er70s-6 filler wire. Silverware I’m welding is stainless steel. You can switch over to stainless steel filler wire or clear coat the finished sculpture with a Rustolium clear coat made for metal. It will keep it from rusting.
