Love drag racing !! I usually don't go for idols, but you got to admit John Force is the GOAT.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I 100% agree!!!!

[@user-so2sg7me8r]

Great tutorial. Finally at the point in life I have time to learn some new things and welding has always been on the top of my list. Going to take those 7 steps and start practicing this weekend.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Awesome, good luck. Thanks for watching!

[@miguelsouderado3459]

Thanks for taking the time to document and share your expertise. Came across your channel searching youtube university for some helpful vids and this content is exactly what I am looking for. Liked. Subbed. And expect some comments to hopefully drive up that search algorithm. Many thanks and keep the basics coming. i hope to be mig stacking dimes in a few months with enough practice. Thanks for the help getting started.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you for supporting the channel it's greatly appreciated!!!!

[@marklamb9377]

Trying to find a good video on just basic welding is hard. That video was great, and it was to the point with the seven steps that you do. Thank you

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Awesome thank you very much!!!

[@peadenl]

I am not a professional but I like your sawtooth technique when I glue stuff together. Particularly when the metals are different thickness so you can put more heat on the thicker side. I have a Millermatic 230 but that Arccaptain is pretty impressive. I learned how to patch up tobacco crates with an old stick welder. We used to only have one kind and size of rod that we welded everything with. I was amazed when I grew up and found all the types and sizes of welding rods available. The small rods made welding the thin sheets so easy without blowing through. Then I got a MIG and it made everything easy. Great video!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Awesome thank you, I've been welding for 28 years with a millermatic 185, then arccaptin sent this machine to me and i was super impressed for the money!!! Im like you I learned on stick welding then discovered mig andI was hooked!!! Thanks for watching 👍

[@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms]

[@timothysund9798]

Good information, I needed the reason it was spitting and sputtering. Troubleshooting is where I get frustrated.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you for the support, if you have any questions just ask.

[@teabelly1565]

Great detailed tutorial thanks, Problem I have is that I start the run ok then wonder of my line laying down a nice bead no where near the joint to be welded. This is because I cannot see my welds, I am going to mount a flashlight on my welding hood and see if it helps me see where I'm suposed to be welding

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thanks for watching, I made a video that may help ill put the link at the bottom of this comment if you want to check it out. That flash light works pretty good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHbQaZJnq5Jnra8si=rg3SW11OTd1N606D

[@RJLM330]

I have 0 experience welding so I appreciate your detailed explanation. I plan on taking a welding class soon but will continue watching. That was a clean weld how much difference would it make if you used flux core in how much cleaning you would need to do. Thanks

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you very much!!! Flux core is a little more messy, kinda like stick welding and is more geared to thicker metals. But I have made a video on flux core welding sheet metal. I plan on doing some flux core videos this year. Any suggestions?? Have a Blessed day!!!

[@kradikt666]

Sawtooth is my go to work the material...cant straight bead to save my life

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Im with ya on that, I always saw tooth it.

[@raymondbeecher9641]

I like ur videos but I have to reverse it all because I'm left handed

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you, I can tig left handed but not to good on mig, I need to work on my left handed mig!!

[@chiefwraps7711]

why are you not beveling your metal end first?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I usually do on anything over 3/16" alot depends on the joint.

[@kradikt666]

Can you do a video on welding pipe to a flat surface please?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Yeah no problem Ill try to use that for next weeks video!!! Thanks for the support!!!

[@jraposo911]

Should be similar to this video😊

[@kradikt666]

@@ACDesignsGarage sweet thanks I've only done it a few times. My boss said you're a smart guy play around with it figure it out

[@tonyman5417]

Lincoln 180 dual multi process or arc captain. Which would you recommend? I want to make sure i make a wise investment. Thanks

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I 100% understand that. Ive never used lincoln before, im a miller man so I cant say for lincoln ,but yhe price difference you can almost buy 3 arccaptins lol. The arccaptian has all kinds of upgrades, spool gun for aluminum, tig welds stick welds and mig, hard to beat, but I dont want to steer you wrong. Sorry if this dont help, but so far ive had nothing but good luck with the arccaptian!!!

[@tonyman5417]

Thank you for your honest opinion. Will keep you posted and thanks for the videos. Very helpful for all of us rookies.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

@@tonyman5417 awesome thanks, let me know if you have any questions!!!!

[@robcanthandlestupidy9249]

Excellent simple techniques , Great help ty

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Thank you for your support!!!!

[@user-yp8ky8us3s]

Why are you pulling when you have the ability to push.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Its just easier for me, I tend to get a taller weld when pushing for some reason.

[@crosley62]

Why does everyone who makes these how to mig weld videos always slip the gas set up. The most important part.

[@ACDesignsGarage]

I thought I put it in, sorry, I get in a hurry sometimes lol. Thanks for watching!!!!!
