[@VampireSultana]

I’m a welder & fitter. So hearing that you’ll be learning how to weld, makes me excited. The first most important thing you need to know is safety. No skin showing, or you’ll tan easily by the UV. Second is comfort. You need to be comfortable, if you’re not comfortable, you can screw up easily. With SMAW, which is stick, it needs to light up like a match, just strike it. Make sure you also remove all the flux after you’re done a weld, like once you finish a bead, clean it, otherwise you could end up with flux inside the weld, and it’ll weaken the weld itself and cause defects. Also, WELDERS TRICK!!!: 1/8th of an inch away. 1/8th is a welders lucky number! You need to work on your tie-ins, plus your speed, but that’s all I see that needs work :) I’m extremely happy to see that there’s no undercutting!! You’re a lot better than a lot of new welders that I know!

His hood is called a pancake hood for anyone thinking it looks “homemade” it’s handy for welding pipe because it’s lightweight and because of its design it keeps any sunlight from hitting the back of your lense...one of my favorite hoods, killer welds🤘

It’s a lot like running the perfect bead of caulk Matt,that was the best piece of advise I got when I was learning

[@austinmiller5118]

“I can weld but I can’t weld well” I’m with you on that haha

[@sean7797]

As a full time welder he learned alot!! Plus welding on a curved surface for your first time i give him props, im pretty impressed!!

[@joshminnick4612]

Ugly but strong t-shirt with a picture of the welds 😂😂 that’s what we need

It’s all about the practice.just grab a bunch of the scrap bits and practice practice practice! Once you do it for a while you see how much more handy stick welding can be on a farm or ranch . Great video

[@DanGarey]

Guy weldings like "please try more you're paying us by the hour" lol

[@tamaraspink4201]

I don’t know how Matt can be so cheerful when his brother is so ill. Plus his brother has the same upbeat attitude. They have great temperaments, both of them. Inspirational, in fact.

In Germany we call People like you the Bruzzler of the backyard “Man what a weld”

[@ShaneJMcNair]

Not bad for your first time stick welding, it is a little tricky, since it's a feel that you develop over time.

I'm loving Brandon's face shield! Absolutely stunning! :D "A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't!" ;)

Its called a pancake hood
