Mike, I know a lot of fitters and pipeliners, Best welders in the world, They tell me to Weld with them, I'm working on this great skill!

Hey Jet thanks for these videos man. Gives me a firsthand look at what welding on the job site looks like. God bless you brother and keep smoking 🤝😎

Great video and great welding ... I can't understand why commenters have a problem with what you were approved to use. Great video

Perfect weld and the best portrait filming i have ever seen.

brin, Thanks for your comment, I'm trying my best, I've been using an android phone, Since I started this KZbin channel, I just shoot from the hip. Brin, I'm glad it's working, for teaching these men and women about structural welding in the iron worker industry, Have a great weekend

that little move he does at 3:49 is very impressive to me. i struggled so much to keep my hood up when i was starting a bead and to watch this man do it effortlessly is pretty cool.

[@gurjindersingh199]

Very nice clean welds on galvanized. Mine aren't good if I don't grind it down to bare steel. Keep it up sir

[@jetweldingllc4691]

Gurjinder singh, Thanks for the comment, You can well like that, And not use a grinder, Turn your heat up, 5/32 7018, I run it at 150, I whip and pause , On galvanize, If I'm not Penetrating, That means turn your heat up, You should be able to cut through it, And work your rod whip and pause, Half Moon's, Keeping a good quarter inch bead, You'll figure it out, Good luck, Have a great day!

[@Godzilla32]

I weld fire sprinkler systems and back when I first started the galvanized pipe used to be the worst to weld... You live and learn as it's not that bad after a lot of years of practice.... shit to breath through while welding though, I don't recommend large dosses of it.

Tweco & dinse connects what’s the difference?

@@sloppyjonuts9162 , Happy New Year, I been using Tweco Ends For 35 years now, Lenco Been around for some time, I have 2 boxes of lenco in my truck but when I need ends I'll go and buy Tweco, That does show how much I love that product, Have a great day!

[@FeedYourAR]

@@sloppyjonuts9162 Tweco is a brand of welding equipment , dinse is a style of connection. There are multiple styles of connections when you hook up to your machine such as dinse, LC40, and others based on your preferences and amperage needs. Tweco is a brand just like Jackson, or Stinger V. I personally like and use the Tweco Tong T532 stinger or electrode holder( proper term). When selecting a stinger it is really based off of personal preference, I have used many different styles and brands over the years and prefer the Tweco Tong because of the way it feels. It suits my style of welding especially in the way that I hold the stinger when the rod gets down to the end, by allowing me to keep my hand far enough back from the weld and not scorch my glove and shrink the leather, but still maintain the angle that I need to get a proper weld.

I have no support when welding I’m new as well how should I hold the gun and how do i use my other hand as supporty

[@jetweldingllc4691]

Kevin, I would use a clamp ,and use that as a rest, You will figure it out, It's all trial and Error, When you're starting out, Stick welding in this video, Right angle is everything, When running the automatic, The goose neck angle is everything, For all the years that I have done this, And the video I made yesterday with the flux core, You could see I welded over 8" continuous, You have to have a Strong upper body, Leverage on anything, Using your elbow, Whatever it takes, And then you'll be doing it free hand, In the structural end of things, Everything should be done freehand, Thanks for your comment, Have a good weekend!

[@jetweldingllc4691]

Kevin, I was checking the video out, I'm using my elbow for rest, Or a pivot, I'm welding left handed, see my right hand support, And then whatever I do, You'll figure it out!

Excellent deduction flapper wheel even better ,cleaner arc zinc produces erratic arc while burning out 6013 much smoother , but I recognize he is also pushing rust out hence wire wheel suggestion on point.,👍💪✌️🤔
