in regards to the comfort, and i cant remeber where i heard it from but it stuck with me, might have been from the military, but i was told that "you need to learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable". some of the best advice i ever got.

Yeah that’s Navy Seal shit and they def need that skill. As far as welding, especially for anybody frustrated starting out, figuring out techniques on how to get comfortable make a world of difference. Better welds and less cussing. That’s my experience at least.

Great video... You make this look so easy, and it is for you ! Kudos ! I watch a ton of welding video's because I am a beginner, a retired old man on SSI aspiring to learn TIG welding. I keep returning to your channel, it's the kind of welding I want to learn, and yours is the best I've seen. I bought the wrong machine (No AC) so I'm beginning with mild steel and have some thin stainless. I'm not yet able to sign up for your class, but I want too, and will if I can get there. Thank you for your channel ! ! And your willingness to teach your craft ! ! Old man James

@Rockroxxgert 6 ай бұрын

What would be your strategy for tackling this type of weld where the plates are so large you are forced to sit on it while welding the corner. I ended up getting a small height adjustable stool, cut off the wheels and stuck a rubber ball on the post. It allows me to rest my chest on the stool yet still allow you to pivot without sliding and frees up the strain in my back.

I guess 90% of youtube welders haven't heard of a flex head or straight head tig torch. That being said, I believe you're giving very little credit to the welding community. I agree it's more difficult than a straight fillet, but with a little thought process, even a rather new to the field welder could figure that out, just saying. Personally, I weld with either hand, so situations that can come up that may be difficult for someone who can only weld with one or the other hand may find it difficult to impossible for them to weld I find not difficult. My suggestion is to learn to weld using either hand. To go even further in your career, learn to weld with a mirror. It's like learning 2 languages. Once you learn another language, you understand your native language even better.

I agree. Been welding with either hand for 38 years and now training my apprentices to do the same. Don’t mind what this guy is doing as it is helping inexperienced people to weld. I may do a video where I do a vertical up electrode welding left and right handed at the same time. This would keep people entertained trying to replicate it

@venture17fly 7 ай бұрын

I feel like most of the time in the real world overhand torching is uncomfortable at best as the part size is generally larger... I prefer to top feed and hold the torch off to the side that way I don't risk sticking the filler ( if you know you know). I've also had good results back feeding when traveling towards the pocket. Either way I would rather just weld through the corner with some 4 step, synergic, pulse on pulse and be done with it in about 2 seconds.

I'm not sure why but I always get porosity on this joint, for ex. I did a 2" tube frame w gussets flush on the bottom, I got rid of the mill scale w a flap disc and even took some acetone to it, but I still got some scatter porosity. After the joint is tacked up its basically impossible to clean since a buffing wheel can't get in there nor will a wire brush. btw this was w low carbon steel, used a number 8 cup w a gas lens @ 30 cfh 115amp, 12 sec post flow , 3/32" 2% Lan

@maxscott3349 7 ай бұрын

You shouldn't need a lens or more than 1 or 2 seconds postflow or that much gas for carbon steel. Try it with a straight cup and 20 cfh, and as little stickout as you can fit into the corner.

@tano1747 7 ай бұрын

Sorry @maxscott3349, this is bad advice... you DO need decent post flow even on carbon steel... The post flow protects the tungsten, not just the weldment. Anything less than maybe 7 seconds (depending on your current vs tungsten size) and the tungsten will oxidise instantly when the gas flow stops. Try watching the tungsten during the cool down period ... you can see it flash to a different colour and surface finish instantly the gas stops, if your post flow is too short. And yes it also protects the joint, but regardless of your joint material, you don't want to start your next weld with the tungsten all contaminated.

@maxscott3349 7 ай бұрын

@@tano1747 You may have a point about the tungsten. I never really paid much attention to it because most of the TIG I've done has been on 7000 series aluminum and on that stuff your tungsten is just always contaminated. It's not really much of a problem once you get used to it

@tano1747 7 ай бұрын

@guyfromgantz7976 you might have a contaminated flap disc... you should have one for aluminium, one for carbon steel, one for stainless steel etc, otherwise you only THINK you're cleaning the surface -- in fact you are embedding contamination into the surface roughness, and your weld will be less than ideal. The acetone needs to be applied with a clean paper towel, and you rub till the paper towel comes away from the surface without changing colour. If the paper towel is still picking up crap from the surface, then the surface isn't yet clean. My level of diligence isn't always perfect either, but if it isn't, the chemistry always reminds me to try harder next time, via porosity and general crap weld quality.

@stevesmith2171 6 ай бұрын

Try a number 5 or 6 straight cup and turn your gas flow down around 20 and turn your amps down to 100. Tack up some practice pieces and start playing around with your flow,heat,and stick out. If you're not contaminating the material you should find your sweet spot. The disc you use on it should either be new or have never been used on anything but the material you are working with. Hope this helps.

@michaelshenoy6050 7 ай бұрын

Great video. Lots of good tips. What size cup did you use, #5 with a gas lens? On your settings regarding 25% AC balance where you say 25% DCEP / 75% DCEN ... that's a bit of a misnomer (this may be a nit) but there's nothing "DC" when AC TIG welding aluminum. For every single AC cycle (no matter how long that cycle is based on HZ setting, let's say 1/100 of a second at 100Hz) you spend 25% of that cycle's time getting positive current and the other 75% (majority) getting negative current. But in neither case is that current DC or constant. Think of a normal sine wave (could also be triangle or square depending on your welder's setting). A normal sine wave spends half its cycle in the positive phase and half its time in the negative phase (50% balance). A 25% positive AC setting will compress that positive phase and stretch out the negative phase to compensate accordingly to keep the same cycle time. So for a 100Hz setting the positive part of the sine wave will be .0025 seconds and the negative part will be .0075 seconds over that one cycle. A picture would be a 1000 words here. I have a request for a video. In other videos I've seen you mention that you ball your tungsten when TIG welding. How??? I've seen some people balling their Tungsten at DCEP. Some welders even have specific settings for balling tungsten. How do you do it on your Everlast welder, switch the cables around?

@PacificArcTigWelding 7 ай бұрын

I appreciate the comment, and thanks for checking out the video. As far as preparing a ball on the tungsten I can definitely do this by flipping the terminals, but you can also turn the balance so that there is much more positive side of the cycle, I think when I get somewhere around 60% this will start to do the exact same thing🙂 I appreciate the feedback, have a great weekend!
