Five torch tools, I would not be without

[@dc85337]

Here is another trick - that I use everyday I do mostly woodworking and some welding so this trick works for both. Get a 1" flat niobium magnet and a washer (or a thin sheet metal cut to shape) and put the magnet on the inside of your shirt, with the washer on the outside. You have magnetized the washer. Strongest you can buy works best. That means that you can just slap your soap stone/pencil (wood or plastic but with metal clip) to it, take it off mark whatever and slap it back on. You can tell how high/location you need to have it by the number of times the magnet sticks to your metal project. Works equally well with screws that are always just somewhere else. (holds a lot of screws, nuts, bolts, btw).

Great idea!

[@TulanePass]

Jose getting in every video and im here for it

[@TaylorWelding]

That’s awesome. It’s getting to where I have to go. Find him to get in the video. My numero Uno amigo.

[@houndsman406]

The Curv-O-mark is very handy for coping beams too

[@scottjune3554]

Wuts up, Jose. Thanks for keeping Chris straight, man

[@Blackopsmechanic338]

Your talking and Jose is getting the work done. 😂😂. Great tips and advice. Peace

[@denniskalivoda]

Chris, always, always watch your videos.

[@wayneallen7916]

The only thing I’ve ever used a tip drill for is drilling through my fingernail to relieve the pressure of a blood blister. Probably not medically recommended but, it works very good!!

[@calvinfroisland4246]

Koike makes argon quick connects too that lock and are high quality for all you tig welders out there

[@TaylorWelding]

Yes they do. I didn’t realize they’ve been in business for over 100 years making really cool stuff.

[@jacemason9907]

Just stumbled across your channel. I've been welding for 15 years and still learning every day. Love your videos, keep em coming!

[@SirCarlosMusicBMI]

I Love it when you do the best that you can do in everything you do. You’re definitely a professional at what you do. Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸

[@AndrewDock]

Keep Jose coming back love both of y’all together. Keep it up man.

[@GARRETT-FAB]

Been in business for 7 months now, I have about 5 years of fabrication experience and really enjoy the videos.

[@johndoe43]

Those drill tip cleaners can be great for mig tips when using aluminum wire.

[@gunnerlrr]

The only problem with the medal template is they take up so much room. I’m limited to space in my rig. Curve-o-mark is a must have for all welders in my opinion. Great advice your the man.

[@ebk304]

You are the man! We respect & appreciate you brother.

[@shawnhuddleston1796]

I remember that aluminum bar from when I was your helper lol

[@andrewbennett6412]

Really enjoy your videos. Check out the b and d marking soap stone. They are very thin and come in a brass holder. Never have to sharpen soap stone again and it clips right on your pocket. Was a game changer for me. I bought three of four of the brass holders and a whole box of soap stone to refill

[@area46241]

I like that angle finder would be perfect for the fullerene frame I got going together with my 80 Amp stick. Awesome channel in the pines!

[@zenabu80]

I was watching Austin Ross and he uses 1/16 soap stone. I got some from his store and tried them. The 1/16 thick soapstone has become my favorite soapstone to date. You can get that thin line and don't need to sharpen it ever.

[@cheffsolo7739]

Great video . Can you leave links in the description box so someone new to this welding life can find it ? Thank you

[@TaylorWelding]

Yes 👍 I’ll try to start doing that

[@Jim-p9e]

Such awesome information! I’m a welding instructor at a career center and we watch your videos a lot. Thank you🇺🇸

[@TaylorWelding]

That’s cool! thanks for letting me know. Where is your career center at?

[@waynespears5664]

Very helpful just knowing these tool exist,would love to hang out with you for a few days of learning.......................................................Fort Worth,Tx

[@neilheriot2361]

That soapstone trick is slick, I normally just use the soapstone holder but that is quick and easy.👌

[@MrBigman12391]

My dad doesn't speak English and wants to learn more, it would be amazing if Jose could maybe translate

[@thedub9031]

Maybe you could translate for your father.

[@Kevin-is-here]

Thanks for taking the time to share your tips & experience, learn something new every day

[@williamthomas9463]

Another shout out for Koike quick-connects! I bought my first ones like 17 years ago. I’m still using those (both for my torches and inert gas fittings) and the only time that I’ve bought more was when I bought additional hoses, regulators, torches or equipment. They’re worth every penny.

[@Borderweldingservices]

Thank you so much! Very insightful, greatly appreciated! I watch a lot of your videos!

[@michaeledwards9690]

Excellent thank you

[@paulruiz4596]

Ive been welding for a hundred years and havn't learned a thing from you that I didn't already know ! But !!! Still watching the vids. Good stuff my friend, keep up the good work.

[@danbettney3097]

Watching here in the UK , in the welding game myself (mostly quarry work) keep the videos coming 👍👍

[@JR48Welding]

I appreciate all the tips you put out there. Took us 20 plus yrs to learn but man it sure makes me feel good teaching young bucks that have that fire to to get er done.. keep it up brother 💪 🙏

[@TaylorWelding]

Thanks brother JR! It does feel good to give back.

[@frigginpos]

I just now saw a video from you, and I'm hooked.

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

I’ve been trying to find tip cleaners in the welding sections at the Lowe’s and Home Depot and can’t find one lol who would’ve thought!

[@James-fs4rn]

👍 thanks for sharing!

[@seller559]

Great video 👍👍👍👍

[@johndeninger8905]

thanks again for another great video buddy 👍👍

[@ronniedoyle7646]

Could you show how to properly use a "rosebud", as I am using my #5 it sometimes starts doing mini explosions, then blows it self out. I experiment with different gas pressures and still every so often it starts popping. Thank you for posting the videos.

[@Truth2Truth777]

Goooo Jose!!!! Great video Chris!

[@WorldMoneyWins]

Great job brutha!!

[@rustyshahan935]

Thanks for the tips. Got to try a few of them. My uncle gave me a curve marking tool (I don’t know what the proper name is). I used it to mark miters on the ends of 4 1/2” horizontal overhead over a cattle guard entrance. First time I ever saw one used, friend of mine marked upright pipes of a pole barn. Marked and cut them at the angle of the roof pitch then welded rectangular tubing rafters directly to the pipe uprights.

[@johndoe43]

You always do a good video.

[@TaylorWelding]

Thank you

[@southernboy393]

The red and green quick connects are western brand. They are garbage. I took them apart and cleaned them. I replaced them. The acetylene one will leak when the torch isnt hooked up. Finally gave up and bought a set of the Koike brand. They are doing good so far.

[@mo-ni]

What a cool channel buddy! Greetings

[@TaylorWelding]

Hey, thanks!

[@maverickweldiing8621]

well done wont say i agree with ya on everything but good solid advice

[@CSERepair]

Amigo jose favorite emoji is 👍🏼👍🏼😁😁

[@JohnStrandt]

What you call a saddle is known to me as a fish mouth.

[@Blue_Collar_Hunter]

Where do I buy the pipe templates that are solid not slotted? Anywhere online since none of the stores in my area carry the good ones?

[@TaylorWelding]

I don’t know it seems like you could find them online

[@juniorwhelchel6337]

What is that specialty tool called Chris I'm interested in buying one

[@TaylorWelding]

I’m not sure. I will see if I can find the name

[@juniorwhelchel6337]

Ok thanks really enjoy learning from you and your videos

[@mikethompson1725]

When I was in welding school about 20yrs ago my instructor told us the torch tip was like a woman, be gentle with the holes if you’re not gentle it won’t be no good 😂 and those tip drills are a joke if you even fart when in use, you’re gonna break the bit off 😂

[@TaylorWelding]

Lol!!! Good one

[@commietube4273]

[@frankromeo4339]

Flange wizard make a magnetic curve o mark, works a lot better but is pricey…
