We can all agree that if your gaps and fit ups are rough you’re gonna have a tougher time. I appreciate these guys for making that clear.

[@benjigray8690]

Thank you for posting an interesting video. There's no such thing as stopping learning, or trying out a new technique if you're interested in your subject, or wanna do a better job.

People call 7018 drag rods cause that's more of a correct way to do it. You can push depending on scenario. Such as vertical up.

[@daniele3275]

@@Bo2xpro generally speaking any angle that allows the slag to deposit on the bead is good I do like to pull the puddle not push But vertical you have to push , but gravity help you to control the slag

Jed, do you weld in the push position instead of the drag position? Thanks.

[@rafigutierrez4708]

Anthony Gonzalez he was pushing the rod. I was taught to drag.

[@ronshekelson]

Your rod angle look like you were pushing the electrode instead of dragging it. I usually drag the rod toward me and hold it at a 75 degree angle. This way I can see the workpiece and get good penetration. Get more arc shots next time. The most important part of welding is the timing and electrode to work gap.

[@courtneyburnett6232]

that's bad practice it is possible to trap slag like that.

[@abrahamjasmine]

This was awesome !!

[@JTimberB.45]

Why did you push with the 7018? And I was always taught to weld from the corners out

What's the hourly rate for oilfield structural rig welding

[@gamingnz452]

So question bro, I'm from New Zealand working as a rigger welder (iron worker) we follow Australian standards for welding (aus/nz standerd) why do you push with 7018? I was taught when it slags you drag. Also on that I'd personally weld the inside of the beam as one weld, why do 3 separate welds? Iv always said there's no wrong and right way it's upto what the welder feel comfortable with and the end product...

[@NineTwo_JQ]

One thing you forgot to do is grind up your baseplate and the edges of your Ibeam . By doing that you also get a nice clean weld with out spatter..... That’s how I do it in Australia 🇦🇺 🤪🤪🤘🤘

[@flagpole974]

Not a ground clamp. Just a different style of stinger.

[@MRTYREMULISHA]

That was helpful guys, do you prep your peaces like that or do they expect you to weld over mill scale and rust in the field ?

[@Lofinoesfino8888]

Are you pushing or dragging???

[@crptguy7]

Was that a push on 7018?

[@derbin4048]

You're pushing the rod instead of dragging... Just personal preference or is there another reason?

[@okayyallrightt]

The spatter is from arc blow. You can move the ground accordingly.

[@benjigray8690]

Thank you for stating that I was going to ask a question , like how much influence does the positioning of the work lead have on the end result' Very few welders think about the direction that the current takes , and very few speak about the phenomenon called "arc Blow".

[@derrekbraveheart3268]

It's better to be specific and say "7018". Not everyone knows that L H means low Hydrogen.

[@codybreeding3653]

But from another angle they should know what LH means if they are reayly trying to be a welder or they should for sure know what it is if they are welders

@@davidnieto936 depends what region you're in. Here in Chicago the starting pay is 50% for apprentices which is about $24 an hour plus your benefits. Once you go down to southern states, the Unions aren't as strong (Republican run states) and the journeymen make less than or equal to Chicago vicinity apprentices. It's a great career I've been a union ironworker for over 20 years and worth it for me.

[@JacobSchofield]

We are mostly down hill welders so I like watching the puddle instead of trying to look behind a rod. Just a comfort thing.

[@mexi9787]

Jacob Schofield true but when you welding structural pieces it’s a different world from downhill pipe welding but you being the Pro you are I’m sure you know the difference . Just saying to us that Weld Structural all day long instead of pipe pulling is the way to go ! Keep up the good work but god Damn Where is Bob 😭🙏🏽💯

[@Bo2xpro]

He's pushing it and his welds look horrible. 7018 are drag rods. Only push depending on scenario such as vertical up

[@dawooddawood3067]

From your which country

[@johnw.peterson4311]

Never tack, start, stop, or connect a weld in a corner, why? Because it is almost impossible to remove all the slag and if x- rayed you WILL have slag inclusion thus failing to weld to standard. How to avoid this? Start your root knowing you must weld through all corners before breaking arc and plan accordingly.

[@acyclictiger]

what do you mean? isnt the slag gonna be the same if it was in the middle of the bead or of it was in the start/finish :/? and some people told me to tack the ends so It can absorb more heat. but can you please explain, thanks :D

[@ramiroperales5934]

You can start the wrap around first. And run the bead to tie in and if you're good enough with tie ins it won't be noticeable it'll look like a complete bead.

[@gavinboucher4166]

I believe fillet welds do not get x-rayed and full pen moments get visual inspected under 3/8 thick and over would be the xray inspection per aisc standards for structural welding.

[@johnw.peterson4311]

Fillet welds do in fact get x- rayed. In addition, a visual inspection is a totally separate issue. That stated , welds can be deemed a failure if not to visual standard and/ or if a failure to x- Ray inspection depending on weld criteria needed.

[@gavinboucher4166]

[@slagle89]

Exactly what i was thinking. "Pushing "🤔🤔 i mean you can but... And also to get rid of the spatter you just got to lower your amperage slightly. Guys out there that think they can just crank it up and burn it in. Go right ahead but there is such thing is the perfect amperage,rod angle , and arc length. Of course travel speed to. But the heat is all part of it to

[@robertdelecki9710]

When we weld on buildings u set your welder and run your leads sometimes 2 - 3 floors. You learn how too weld all positions at the same amperage. Now shop welding obv is different
