Time under the hood will make you a better welder. Keep up the good work.

[@mattfogarty8144]

Nobody was great from the beginning man just keep burning and i dont care what process youre running theres one things you need to remember with all types of welding ride the puddle aka go slow enough and stay in it the biggest problem im seeing is youre going too fast

[@kenswitzer4133]

I learned to gas weld when I was in high school and learned to follow the puddle. This has not been as hard for me as I thought.

[@mattfogarty8144]

@@kenswitzer4133 very similar to gas welding im in the same boat the first process i did was also gas welding

@Bob(FrankenFab) You did pretty good for your first time. As they always say -- "practice makes perfect " and "Roman wasn't built in a day". I am sure that camera makes it awkward to handle that torch as well. Would be like trying to weld with a bowling ball chained to your wrist.

[@bobhigginbotham9035]

Whoop! Whoop! Twisting ain't easy!

[@kenswitzer4133]

Looks good to me. I am a beginner my self. Seeing the puddle like that is outstanding👍👍👍👍💥🤙🏻😁💥

[@philipxj18]

Fix it. It makes for a more real world experience. In the real world you have to fix it. Always practice how you operate.

[@ForestWoodworks]

Bob's mistake is pro compared to what I can lay down!

This is a awesome video I've Been Welding for a while finally learned to Weld pipe now I want to learn to tig thank you guys for making this helpful video it gives me a piece of mind knowing that as long as you're trying someone out there is always will to help you learn awesome video

[@bobhigginbotham9035]

Thanks for the feedback

[@richpitty]

This vid is ok I’d get rid of twisting the rod it’s not necessary and is confusing bob. Everyone has little things that are diff but I’d check out Jodi from welding tips and trick his advice,vid’s and lots and lots of practice has gotten me a lot of certs and $ tig welding I’d so much fun once you get over dipping tungsten it’s an art form and a ton of fun. Wait till you start doing 8” stainless pipe or inconel it’s so fun it’s not even work good luck in your welding journey don’t be afraid to practice straight beads till you run out of wire and keep doing it. All about practice

[@calinsandor9518]

I've tried vertical down on thin sheet metal and works fine, much more stable arc/puddle than mig or stick process and more controlable.

[@vpolarbear]

Bob, Learning is Awesome! I believe if you ever Stop Learning you Should just Quit!.I like to think that I learn a little Each time I Weld Something. Every Welder Starts out running Seagull Shit before Beads. Then it gets Better! If im in the presence of a Master Gluer I Always use that time to Ask Ask Ask questions to Learn to become just a little Better! you Guys are Amazing! Weld On! have a great Day!

[@bobhigginbotham9035]

Thank you

[@kustehnik]

👍👍👍

[@timholmes8395]

I never considered twisting the filler rod to add to the root pass 🤔 but I liked it and I'm going to give it a try

[@simonsiron887]

Loved the video man, keep up the good work. Can I use 6011 for open root work? My inverter can't run 6010 and 6010 rated machines here cost 4grand at least. But I want to practice open root groove welds but I can't use 6010 so can I use 6011

[@CASHCRZZY1]

Great video just goes to show practice is your friend . I’m going to go grab my tig machine and practice more because I do the exact things that Bob was doing . Nice to see vid

[@mrsawbladehead]

Quit crying you big baby! Paul had me at 6G starting out! :0 Paul is a great teacher!

[@arcjunkie]

Thanks for the humility! Bob you impressed me my guy!💯 You live and you learn! Never stop learning! Weld every day!

[@lloydcastleton]

I need to learn all things TIG lol so don't worry man, you're not alone 🤣

[@blueweld75]

BOB CRUSHED IT !!!! Bob is new to tig! Its ok to be a beginner. In fact its great! You will just get better. Paul is really comfortable. This is great. Have Paul teaching folks. He isnt worries about the camera. He is focused on teaching Bob and having fun. I bet Paul has taught a lot of code welders how to do the things. Just record Paul teaching somone he can joke around with, and it will be great!

[@GRich120]

I love seeing Bob, who is a master at his craft, jump out of his comfort zone and put it all on the line with Paul. Very informative. Two thumbs up boys! 👍👍

[@bobhigginbotham9035]

Thank you!

[@tonyjackson4099]

Are there thinner gloves you can use for TIG? I feel like he needed more dexterity in the hand feeding the wire. I think this would be especially true for beginners. Then once you have the technique down the loss of dexterity caused by the thick glove becomes less of an issue. No?

[@causewaykayak]

He did OK and you make a super double act. Entertaining and educational. Thanks you Both!

[@bobhigginbotham9035]

Thanks Paulie!

[@LifeSavingDefense]

Thank you. I know you felt nervous about this but it’s perfect for newbees to learn from. I’ve flux core mig welded for a few years .. without gas …. mainly because I bought a strait argon tank by mistake and never bothered to change it but this week I was going to buy some c25 -- $378….. Cheaper to buy yeswelder inverter DC tig and use the argon so … it’s in the mail. This is the only way for me at the moment to move into tig and stick so it is what it is… My mig is too strong even on 110 for my truck bed with rust above both wheel wells .. I did the left side and it is actually pretty dang solid but still has a couple of micro pin holes. Time to clean that up and move to the right. I could and may use body filler but that’s cheating…. I enjoyed the challenge which is vertical 22ga metal rusted in an upside down 3” wide banana but I’m stubborn and patient so it will get done. I could braze it but where’s the challenge in that? Keep up the good work

[@redlock1815]

Bob reminds me a lot of myself right now haha. That feeling of dejection when having a hard time getting good welds, even to the "aah!" When you mess something up 😂

[@danhufferdoutdoors]

Thanks Bob for being real.

[@MightAsWellK5]

When you twist the filler wire is the motion like a windshield wiper changing direction or a continuous circle always in the same direction (CW or CCW)?? Very helpful video!!!

You are new baby in tig welding try more and more practice for success

[@welderleekoreanwelder4273]

gooooooooood

[@jimhowell4937]

Dude, my vertical up look like that I’d be pumped. Free beers on me.

[@adamdalton9804]

Why would you not use high frequency if you have it? That makes no sense to have it on lift tig. Is anyone on this channel actually a qualified welder. Seems to me like a bunch of hobbyists.

[@jeepwk6.5L]

You sound like the hobbyists with that statement. “Qualified welder” would know in the test packet they don’t allow pulse or high frequency. In most cases the test are taken without a foot pedal. Lift arc is typically ALL your going to get in the field…. Shop cat.

[@seanalexander9531]

Oh dear. 🙄

[@RandomGuy0987]

TIG is like surgery, you need super super steady hands. It's not easy.

[@jasonwood7340]

Good video, I enjoyed the good-natured ribbing =)
