Nice job brother!

Looks slick man I hope to get to that level one day

[@articz267]

Yo g! This is sick, I weld pipe on a daily basis but not this thick wall. How do you get to do the four passes so uniform? Do you draw a line or something in there to follow? Sick job brother, greetings from Spain!❤

[@2freshgarage184]

@@articz267 i don’t draw any lines I just use a weld lenses that allows me to see very clearly and it helps me keep it more uniform. The weld lenses I use it called a vintage view black daliah with the shade 11 version . I would highly recommend it💪

Nice video !!!

[@2freshgarage184]

Thanks bro, glad you liked it 🙏

[@kevtech733]

Good video. It is to bad you work for a company that does not provide a Positioner. I have worked for companies like that to. Makes it hard to get the work done easier and faster. You did a nice job 👍🏼

[@2freshgarage184]

We have some roll out wheels but since I’m younger I take the in position welds and allow my older co workers to use the postioners. I usually weld in the refinery’s so I don’t really have a problem welding in position. Thanks for watching 🙏

I see you bro! Subbed to the channel. Let’s get it 💪🏽

Good job bro what was the gap ?

[@2freshgarage184]

@@chappa876 like a loose 1/8 gap

[@whatthedeuce091]

Here's my 2 cents to anyone interested... When you're tig welding carbon pipe, make sure to use ER70S-"6", not ER70S-2. It's a night-and-day difference, especially on the root.

Great video but steel doesnt contain moisture.

Are you stupid or stupid? It clearly does if it sweats…..

[@threestrikes8262]

Don’t get me wrong very nice Weld. But why would you Tig a 16 inch heavy wall pipe all the way out? You should be jumping to stick weld after the first three passes of Tig.

[@2freshgarage184]

@@threestrikes8262 the welding procedure we have for these pipes only allows for TIG to be used . That’s how the customer wants it basically

[@threestrikes8262]

Got you, cause normally something that thick will use GTAW & SMAW process. Still nice weld.

[@2freshgarage184]

@@threestrikes8262 I was on the oil rig offshore and had to do a tie in on one of these big pipes and the operator was telling me they prefer Tig because it causes less sparks than a stick weld which reduces the chance of fires that could also be a reason the procedure is just Tig.

[@threestrikes8262]

That makes more sense why they would have you do the GTAW all the way out. How long you’ve been welding.

[@kevtech733]

The Procedure dictates how it is done.

[@johnjohnstonee]

Never seen 4 beads! I feel like being a welder is impossible.. I learned to walk the cup when I went to a welding school and practiced from all the different angles/ positions etc but knowing how many beads , the amps, wire, gap size etc seems impossible to learn … I don’t think welding is for me

[@javierchavez5911]

We love it man it takes practice and dedication to the craft. Just like any other profession

[@zmx1-]

how’d you get this job? i’ve been looking for some like this.

[@2freshgarage184]

@@zmx1- you kinda have to be like a g-40 welder for a company that does refinery turn arounds and has a shop whenever they have pre fab work .

[@zmx1-]

@ do you have any advice on where to look? i’m from the dallas metro area but im willing to put myself out there for any job that does this time of tig pipe welding

[@brianharris8115]

Please, you are still wet behind the ears! Only give experience if you have 30 or more years under your belt!

[@2freshgarage184]

@@brianharris8115 I’m just showing how I weld it so far every X-ray has passed I don’t see why this video wouldn’t help others. Maybe you should post a video and show us how it’s done
