Hello my dear Chris Hope you and your family are great all. Chris is have been learning from you a lot and i wanna thank for all. Christ would you mind if i sent my welding photos to you every now and then so you can rate my welding ? I would really appreciate that. If you can give me your email I would sent it.

I’m just a beginner hobbyist, but I took a couple of classes at my local community college to get started. I learned to not grip the stinger so hard. Just enough to control it. It’s not a gun - there’s no recoil to control. Gripping it hard will set up the shakes.

gripping a gun "hard" compromises accuracy. Save hard gripping for tug-o-war and such.

I've been a welder for 40 years and I still can take advice from a younger pro. You are a pro because you pay attention to what you're doing. At 73, I can say when I stopped and kind of alcoholic consumption, the overhead and vertical have been like spreading butter. Thanks for the instructions.

Chris, Thank you for addressing this problem. I like your style of teaching. I am a retired H.S. teacher, now a farmer. As I am approaching age 80 I have developed "essential tremor". Although I can not make decent looking welds anymore, I have still been able to teach the basics of welding to 3 of my grandsons. One of the grandsons has participated in welding classes at the local Vo Tech College and he got a very good instructor. During his Jr year in HS (with welding classes at the Vo Tech), he earned welding certifications in both stick and MIG. Now he does my critical structural welding while I still do the less critical stuff. I do appreciate your tips and will pass on links to your videos to the 3 grandsons. Have a great Holiday season!

Hey Chris, thank you for taking the time to explain these welding techniques to the newer welders and even the experienced at that. I wish that there were mentors like yourself in the beginning stages of my career. The teachings that you can pass onto others is a valuable asset that most other trades people out there won't easily pass onto others. I made it a solemn promise to do the same for anyone that came across my path that I saw struggling to freely teach them and not hide any information that would help them forward in there career because I know the feeling that when someone wants to protect their job, be the last man standing to feed their family people will do what they have to no matter what to do these things even not teach others to stay to the end. I met you a couple years back at the Vancouver resource conference ( I was the bigger guy/Welder who briefly talked to you before you headed to a meeting). To add to your comment my saying is that I may not be the Brightest Bulb on the Tree, But it's the Dimmest Ones That Last the Longest. Always staying Humble and Eating Humble Pie every morning. Thanks again for doing this for the younger generation or the starters in this trade. Eric the Welder

Tried two of your tips today: 1) Running 7018 vertical up, stopping and holding the toes of the bead for a full two seconds each made great improvement in undercut. 2) Holding the stinger with the lead between the pinky and ring finger does steady the rod some. Can't explain why, but it works. Thanks, my friend.

A tip when practicing take your lead and hang it up on something and leave enough lead to do your weld , it will make the the stinger/ welding lead a lot lighter and help with some shaking.

Hello Mr. Randal, first off that’s pretty cool. You’re welding at 74. Half of America can’t jump over their bed rails at 74. Could you use a sacrificial, welding glove, thick leather.

Yes to the caffeine shakes! I discovered that in SS Tig welding school. I worked midnite shift, slept daytime, got up early to go to Tig class, practiced welding 2 hrs, took a break in the cafeteria & got a 20 oz. Mountain Dew & chugged it & went back to class for 2 more hrs. I noticed my hand was like a sewing machine after the break but not before! Tried it 2 more times, just to be sure! So I learned to lay off the caffeine until after class, but just before going on to work at midnight.

Having been welding for bout 50-yrs I've tried damn near everything but my go to is to keep several 2 X 4's of drifferent lgth around and prop off of the board as it's leaning on what you're welding on and it gives you a variable hgth and positions 👍

​@@TaylorWeldingThis idea works real well especially on pipe. Say your weld is 4-5' high then cut the 2x4 to 6' or better, one end on the ground & the other on the pipe. Then just prop on the 2x4 and you can slide up and down on the board as your position changes on the pipe. Some time I'll nail a 4" piece of 2x4 to the long one and prop on it which helps as well. This works well if you're in a man lift basket also .

First and most important thing is get rid of gator clamp stingers. Get the twist type so you can lock that rod down tight. Then you can bend the rod in any angle easily and that allows you to put your hand in the most comfortable and natural position

All fantastic tips👍....... something about grip angle, our body's are kind of like a spring and has a natural position, something I learned after many years of NRA competition "Bullseye" offhand shooting, you close your eyes, point at your target and see where your sights land, shift your body till your sights land where you want them each time you close eye's then open them, your grip angle will also naturally fall into place, this is a good starting point then bend your rod accordingly (with your arm/arms closer to your body, we are welding not shooting the pipe /plate ect. .) it's all about being relaxed and not fighting yourself. after many decades in the welding field it all just became muscle memory, I just struck an arc and got it done, , The tip about grip is super important, as you stated a death grip is a shake and bake result. Ty again for knowledge you share that makes better weldors of us all.

Curl the rod end that your stinger grips just a half trun with your stinger. Then bite the curl with your stinger. There is no excess exposed rod to arc on and the shake will be drastically diminished.

I think thats about the same as I used to do. Used a 300 amp tweco and no mater what the rod diameter grab it in the bottom slot and bend 90 degrees. As you're welding you can change the angle and position of the stinger and rod on the fly.

Thanks, Chris. Your video was super helpful, I tried the pinky trick, and oh, what a difference. My stinger stays steady and my hand feels so much better. I did notice that my rod does shake in my stinger, something that I never even though about. Do you have any recommendations on what type or brand of stinger to run? I've always had a clamp style stinger, but I'm definitely open to trying something different.

my hands shake. fact of life. but one thing i found was always saving my broken tig torch leads. they'll get a hole in them or a piece of equipment will drive over them and now thy leak. but they make light lead for stick welding. also i always kept a couple different electrode holders on hand up to 400 amp rated if i was welding a dancefloor at a refinery. but take a light duty electrode holder,mount it to the old tig torch lead and it's feather light. even had some 250 amp tig leads off larger jobs for GE (huge thick inconel or hastoloy piping) that worked well for medium duty stick jobs. once you have found a comfortable position to weld from,wrap that lead around your arm so the weight doesn't hang off your hand but off more your elbow thus tiring your shoulder less. and the other tip was exercise three times a week (calisthenics ,weightlifting or something to strengthen your body,and it don't take much your body will respond and feel better immediately) and your day will be much easier than if you just sit around slamming beers all night turning into a marshmellow

I developed an essential tremor which made tig welding thin wall 4130 and welding with a stinger impossible. Doctors have developed a cure for some types of tremors.
