13:10 I had many problems with rods like this at one job. The 7018s supplied to me were obviously old, abused and stored incorrectly. The boss blamed my skills for the problems I was having. Bought my own brand new 7018s, and had ZERO issues for the rest of the contract. Added the rods I purchased to my expenses.

[@shermanyoung8185]

Rich Osthoff,I'm curious what was the bad brand and size welding rods you were using and what did you buy that was better to replace them🤔👨‍🏭

[@auggiesgarage7684]

Just finished up my first welding project and this video was super helpful in identifying what I need to improve first. Thanks for sharing!

[@northerntranquility1614]

Clear and simple to understand instructions. I'm having trouble of finding my hand and elbow placement. Not to mention the striking to start the arc. I stick 9 out of 10 times .🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@waynecurie71]

[@jerrychetty2524]

Wow man thanks this is just so well explained and the best introduction to welding for me with no experience at all

[@daxinventor3542]

You are really good brother. Teaching about welding is what you do well. Keep teaching and I will keep watching. Thank you for making this video. You also made me and my class laugh a lot. Good job !

[@bobw7018]

This popped up on my home page, you explain and demonstrate how to, and what happens so clearly. You've earned my subscribe. I love learning valuable and handy skills that can benefit a mechanic as well as possibly become a new career path.

[@CloneDaddy]

Thanks for this, mate. I've got my first welder coming this week. It's sure to be handy to know what to look out for before I start learning. Exactly what I was looking for. Cheers from England.

[@imtoksik]

Excellent video, straight to the point and usefull information. Thanks a ton.

[@jcruz3022]

[@JAKE3914]

Thanks Jack. I went to TWS in Tulsa in the early 80's. Jerry Griggs...Donny Apple...Tom Holland........Fantastic program!!!

[@keithjonzligad2823]

im on a training on smaw1 going in 3weeks now. i was one of the scholar that our government official had a program of a smaw 1 sholarship program. i avail this program coz i want to learn welding. im glad i saw ur channel and i leraned a lot from you. i hope you have a video on horizontal, vertical and overhead. its very important to practice til you get it right but still you have to spend a lot of money to buy electrodes. thanks for the video sir.

[@reaper060670]

Hey Jack mate.. Watching in IRELAND my bro.. This was a brilliant video mate.. I learned morte in these few minutes than I could've in hours in any classroom. I bought my 1st stick welder today. It's only a small cheap one of those inverter machines 10-80A but it'll do me for what I need to use it fro while I learn how to weld stick anyways my bro.. I will be investing in a good MIG/TIG/ARC welder in the future but for now I want to learn to stick weld. This was a great video full of hints and tips bro. Keep up the great content. Take it easy pal and salute from Dublin, IRELAND.

[@lucasandri5462]

The video is very interesting and you can clearly see what he's talking about in the beads. When he talked about the amperage setting on the machine he didn't mention the correlation to the rod dimension. I think that's a 2.4mm (3/32"?) 7018 but for someone who doesn't know it is a missing information

[@ericpelache1458]

Awesome, watching these welding videos is really getting me familiar, and comfortable with welding, these videos has already answered many questions of mine. Again awesome!!!!

[@PatrickDaGama-hi1cg]

Thanks much for video I've learned a lot i was about to give up my training finding it difficult make it

[@dave1secondago]

great welding tips bro

[@nathalycarney4015]

Thank you for your knowledge

[@samsiryani9023]

Great stuff sir.

[@zukobringas5096]

Thanks for showing ‘your fault’ on the rod tip. I did not realize tip condition is important...I keep on using them and keep failing thinking it does not matter.

[@1969darr]

Only way to learn welding is to go hands on and it takes hours to get ok at it. Welding is a perishable skill, meaning if you do not excersize it daily you will loose it. I had a 2 yr apprentice who went and purchased his own Mig/TIG and practiced everyday on his own time and dime. That kid could run a bead better than 95% of any instructor on U-tube and went on to work for the oil industry working off shore underwater and is making bank last I heard. He had trouble striking an arc with 6011 on flat and really struggled with it until the Ah! Ha! moment.

[@mosa4688]

Man I wish my welds looked as good as your "wrong" welds !!!! Thanks.

[@adelkl5711]

thank you so much for all the information you gave in this video.

[@1000186ful]

I wish yalls school was closer to me here in Texas Houston Texas is bit of a ways from me

[@stevenlooney3621]

Great video

[@heyman5525]

Its refreshing to listen to a gracious welder who's not trying to underhandedly and condescendingly insist on his own technique and trend. He won't make a very good welding boss😁

[@Channel585]

Thank you sir for the information.

[@juanverrette1308]

✌️Preciate chu!! Iagree,as a beginner,putting in the work(practice practice practice)is essential!! 🤜🏼🤛🏿. 🙏🏿☝️✌️

[@ryancrume]

great video

[@sscbkr48]

You're a great teacher. What size stick machine do you suggest for a noob wanting to do general purpose welding.. a 160A dual voltage, 110 or just 220.. Then there's a more expensive mig/stick combo one could grow into..

[@mrmidnight32]

110 for 3/32nds is so high. I normally start around 90 and work either high or low depending how the arc lays down.

[@lindapowens6593]

Thank you, good help, work go

[@usernamemykel]

Quite good! Thanks!

[@otislawrence474]

Thank you. Great teaching. Do you have online teaching courses?

[@chadmarshall2343]

Good video maaaaaaaaann!!!!

[@osman2k]

thank you!!

[@waynepique8022]

Hi JD, just viewed the you tube vid' on " learn stick welding basics"..thumbs up...can u weld over the bad welds or do u have to grind them out & start over. WP.

[@grahammason6466]

So if you welding 3mm steel you drop your Amp?

[@pwatkinsful]

Great tutorial,

[@dariusacevedo6369]

1st time welding (used 6011 on flat) & my hand was so shaky its like there's a magnitude 10 earthquake in our weld lab, thank god just the following day i got it,

[@booboohern]

I like how he explains things so ez, for I am a simple plumber learning to weld as a hobbies happy welding to who ever reads this!!

[@dhewitt2514]

Great video 👍

[@brian559]

Great useful video ...but you didn't address why you set the welder at 110 amps?...or what size rods is best for what material etc and the appropriate amp setting under these circumstances....otherwise a very helpful video

[@AS-ug2vq]

1/8th 6013 - 80-120amps, can weld up to 4.8mm easily single pass. 110 is lower end of 7018 rod.

[@alisjs4584]

Great content

[@alforliniteaching5670]

Good show.

[@sanchoberto]

Muy buen tutorial, gracias

[@raymaharaj3555]

Very informative . Thanks

[@boricuaarecibo9259]

when using 6011 rod do you put the stinger in the negative terminal on the welder?

[@johnlewis7736]

Requirements to join Tulsa welding school?

[@Smoovajr]

I’m a senior in highschool wanted to pursue welding, I’m in a welding class as of now. I’m working on the D9.1 single pass 6” 7018 T-joint weld. And I get flux peel and perfect starts on practice but I do my certification pass and i mess it up at the end. Could you help me out trying to find a way to get this done?

[@ranjanty]

Will it hurt the electronics on my truck to weld on the frame bumper bracket even if the battery is disconnected??

[@rmbico]

Hi, can you talk Body position on stick welding especially on 6G, 4G (Overhead) 5G pipes, Thanks a lot.

[@insidelifevideos]

dude looks like he is a blacksmith in a post apocalyptic video game

[@viorelscrob6391]

You use basics electrodes only?

[@MyMotherWasaNinja]

I just switched from 6013s to 7018s and finding it really difficult to strike and maintain an arc. Super sticky even if I increase the amps. Any advice?

[@jodynickerson3545]

How is welding galvanized steel differ from bare steel?

[@AlexLopez-yv6rr]

I can now call myself a certified welder

[@shanekhadoo5132]

Great ideas .for bigginers,i like welding but unemployed anyone willing to donate a arc machine to me am fromTrinidad and Tobago

[@oazlast8844]
