Teach Yourself To Weld With This Video!!! (How to Mig Weld)

[@TezzysRevenge]

I asked a guy to teach me to weld once. He said "okay, here ya go! Don't burn through the metal!" I was so excited to try it that I ended up burning through the metal. Now that I've seen your video, I'll give it another go lol

[@DirtLifestyle]

I hope it helps! 👍

[@Jiggles666]

That's how my uncle taught me, sure i burned through a lot of it but by the time i was done he was able to wack my lap welded 1/4" steel plates with a sledge hammer and he said "you pass"

[@troyc333]

I like this guy better than some others I've watched. He communicates well and explains the reasons why he does things.

[@dreamassassin2689]

I am a welder, good advice on a lot of it.. but also good to note that you push your puddle a lot..mig is forgiving, but best way to learn is to do it... dont jump ahead of the puddle and dont think of what you are going to do even an inch ahead, keep your mind on what the puddle is doing then and there...good video......

[@jaymanxxxx]

that's my prob. with welding.

[@FarmerFpv]

@@jaymanxxxx He just explained how it's done, give it a shot, that's what they teach in trade school. You can practice all you want, but if you pick up bad habits, all that practice will be useless. Typical of what most people that learn on their own, I been there. But there are some that are just naturals at it.

[@primoknoxville]

Check your puddle.

[@chuckcurtin]

Nice video. Very informative. No BS. Good quality video. No stupid stuff. I'm just an old guy who bought his first welder. Never welded before but always wanted to. This (among other videos) should get me started dicking around in the barn. Thanks

[@big3fan916]

I'm impressed - you made it through the whole video without saying stacking dimes lol

[@DirtLifestyle]

Lol

[@generalgrievousproductions]

@Madden Declan it’s not real

[@sylvanbowyer341]

Haha! Word.

[@1Chuck4U2C]

I’ve been welder for over forty years and I’m still learning. practice, practice, practice. Started out gas welding , then stick, then wire feed, of course wire feed has made everyone a welder. Dream it Build it. Good gift trying to teach others, if the dog doesn’t get off the porch it doesn’t get to play.

[@ericwid]

I agree, I've got 30 years in myself there's only a small percentage of people you can actually teach to weld. It's kind of an art form

[@twwtb]

You are right, there is no substitute for turning on the machine and practicing, and learning how to 'see' the puddle and what is happening there. Loving your channel, thumbs up all day long.

[@sailawaybob]

great video , my Dad was a welder but sadly never taught us kids how to weld so i enjoy the information i get off here .but like you said practice is so important.

[@jessedavis4699]

Great video! I am a 40 year welder and this is exactly how I teach people to weld. I don’t overwhelm people with too much information. Good job and keep up the good work!

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks buddy👍

[@kevinlamarr1424]

I think the most important part of the video is to get people started. Other people spend more time showing what they know and what they have than how to get started. I can get started with a 110 harbor freight or the Lincoln stick I bought on market place. But now I know enough to start.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Awesome man! Glad to see you enjoyed the video!

[@ROgletree]

I’ve been wanting to learn to weld but didn’t think it was something I could do without a hands on instructor. Thanks for the video. New subscriber here.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Do it! You can learn alot from videos on KZbin and they can point you in the right direction. At the end of the day your skills will be built with hours of welding experience. It doesn't matter if it's in a class or in your garage 👍

[@chunckychocolate1231]

This is honestly and truly the most understandable and best explained video on welding I’ve seen.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Awesome! I'm happy to help!

[@chriscollier9373]

Great video my welding instructor taught us this step by step almost 2 years ago! Granted he brought in the sciences of the art but everything is spot on! Keep up the great work and I enjoyed watching you the most in the BJ video series

[@orangepickel2]

My Guam Trade and Vocational Tech School welding instructor was a retired Navy Chief Petty Officer who created the U.S. Navy's nuclear welding program, how he ended up retired and teaching on Guam I will never know. 1973 night classes. My brother was the first 2nd Class Petty Officer to be an Instructor at the Navy's Nuclear Advance school. Was also a certified Nuclear Welder.

[@MrRmga420]

Great video as always. Personally I prefer straight c02 over 75/25. It seems to burn hotter and it’s cheaper and more readily available to buy. Another thing to consider is that any time you leave your puddle like in the whip and pause style, it introduces contaminants in to your weld. The shielding gas protects the molten metal from the air around it. The best method is your “C” technique. Manipulating the puddle side to side, pausing briefly at each side to ensure proper fusion. Always staying in front of your puddle. Circles can trap slag and other contaminants in the weld also, compromising the structural integrity.

[@markharrisllb]

I’m very much a hobbyist, I look up to weekend warriors as my status is so low. So far I’ve successfully hard faced a cheap anvil with stick welding I was quite proud of and mig welded a router table which even impressed my wife. For me as a rank amateur I’ve quickly learnt that 90% of my welding occurs before I even switch the machine on, it’s all about clean and tidy surfaces. I’ve also become quite proficient with a grinder and my cheap spray gun. If you’re bald buy the bonnet, it’s friggin painful getting spatter on your dome. I’m still using the big heavy gloves, I know a lot of more skilled welders prefer the tig gloves but I’m not confident enough yet. Great video, thank you.

[@InCountry6970]

I know some welding and I have done some weldong for years and this is the best instructions I have ever seen. Better than the old guy I learned from. Great video

[@theplinkerslodge6361]

Really great share. I like the idea of, "OK, go do some welds." Come back for more info in increments. Great approach.

[@Zapo9668]

Just bought my first MIG welder thanks to your influence.. Super excited to get fabricating.

[@kylelewis3504]

I'm an amateur to say the least so this is awesome to help me get into it more!! I appreciate all the videos you make and all the hard work

[@DirtLifestyle]

Good! That's the goal! I have folks tell me all the time that they want to start welding and that was the reason I made this video! I hope you can take away a few nuggets of information from this and start building your skills 🤘

[@whiteshayne92]

Being a welder/fabricator for a living this was an incredibly well done video, the C and circular pattern are the ones I commonly use welding anything from 1/8 all the ya up to 3/4” plate for tow plates, this was a very informative video and should be shared everyone for anyone trying to learn how to weld

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks alot man! I really appreciate it!

[@howardcliver7894]

I just bought a Miller 211. Learning how to weld so I can do as much of my fab work myself as possible.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Nice! Congratulations on the new welder 🤘

[@stevehughes_5733]

Great video! I'm in the early stage of my welding journey and found this informative and extremely well presented. Thank you! 👊🏻

[@forreststrong797]

The hardest thing for me was learning to breathe while welding for some reason I got used to holding my breath while welding. Then when I moved onto longer welds and more difficult things I had to train myself to breathe it was the hardest part of learning to weld for me.

[@twwtb]

Same here. It's like suspended animation during the weld.

[@consaka1]

I bet you are really good at holding your breath though. ;)

[@BertMackFilm]

You'll make a nice wife one day. J/K :)

[@rollzolo]

[@tankbeast8480]

No joke

[@thecrazygentleman1942]

I have never welded before but I understood you, great advice and I’m a child. I want to start doing welding.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Good! Glad to help! It's never to early to start learning these skills.

[@craigmonteforte1478]

on trash days i ride thru the neighborhood and pick up all the steel bed rails n sure its not very thick steel but what i like about them is they are very easy to strip with a hammer and a sawzall to get free angle iron which comes in handy for many projects and stores easy stacked on top of one another those are my welding practice parts very good beginner video

[@almurray292]

I'm an old Fart retired Heavy Mechanic, and I gotta say, your Vids are clear and concise, easy to follow and very instructive, The younger guys will benefit greatly from your Vids. Keep it up Young fella, you've got a Career in teaching waiting for you, Well Done.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thank you very much!

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Cheers Nate..I must have missed this episode and just found it whilst looking for welding projects that I might try and do soon. Just bought myself an industrial welder for almost nothing and now working through some issues(hence why it was a 'steal'..) Up to now been flux core welding which has been an 'education' especially as it was bought from a 'German owned grocery chain' as a discretionary purchase years ago. I'm not sure it has done me any favours but I did weld up the rear end on my Land Rover and have melted a fair few good things with it. Anyhoo back to the present day and you now have a different 'shop' and home and still pursuing your dreams...keep up the great work if you see this one day..Be safe

[@alvinturner1086]

Hi Nate, i follow several people on KZbin that are involved with the off road and overlanding life style and have for several years. Your channel is the only one I have subscribed to. Great content and great delivery. Keep up the good work. By the way I am flying the DL Logo on my jeep. Thanks Alvin

[@DirtLifestyle]

Wow man thanks so much! Very happy to see such a positive comment. Gives me even more to push forward with KZbin shenanigans 🤘

[@raymondtriffett6210]

This is the best by far, clip I've seen on welding. Easy to follow and the right info well done dude.

[@DirtLifestyle]

Thanks man 👍

[@kcscustom9759]

Nice job great mig welding basics video! There are actually some good 110 welders out there. Most of the time yes 220 is definitely better and more convenient, but I mean my 110 Forney can burn 1/4” in a single pass no problem with great penetration. I’ve used this welder to fabricate many parts for my truck including a headache rack out of 1/8” & 1/4” steel. Bumpers out of 1/4”, plus 3/8” where they mount to the frame. 1/8” side steps. A handful of different brackets. Some 3/16” skid plates. A few other little things. And I am now working on a brush guard using 3/16” & 1/8” wall tubing & 1/4” plate. And a stainless steel auxiliary fuel tank. Its been a great machine I have accomplished a ton with this welder without *ever* overheating it. In my opinion it is perfect for the moderate welder like myself.

[@hoganmaughan3273]

I'm glad you said this! Cause it's exactly what I was thinking. I have a Hobart Handler 140 that's 110v and it's been doing a great job on C-notches in lowered truck frames, and I've been burning together a 3/16" plate off-road bumper for my '72 Jeep CJ-5! It hasn't let em down yet, and was nice to get when 220v wasn't an option for me to get access to.

[@gordgoroth]

Not to mention everyone has 120v, not everyone has 240v.

[@kelpf0rest]

One of the best first introductory video to welding! Thanks!

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

that's what I do when I weld with my mig. I go in small circular motions, and when I'm trying to fill a gap I use the C motion back and forth from side to side, and it does a good job of adding material to a space; you're basically just building on the weld material as you cross a gap and drag the puddle as you go as you say. I usually only use the back and forth motion when I'm stick welding. When I was 15, that was 41 years ago, I started out on brazing steel with Oxy/Acetylene, I had to start on a flat piece of 1/8th steel, and when I was able to make a nice uniform bead, I was allowed to advance to brazing two pieces of steel in a T shape. I had to braze 4 layers; the first in the corner; the second on top and the third on the bottom of it and them I had to make a beautiful laced bead over it all. Only after I had mastered that, which took a week of going to class every night for a couple of hours, was I allowed to move to stick welding, and I had to start with a flat weld on some 1/8" steel laying a bunch of beads next to one another, and only after I had then looking beautiful filling a 3x5" plate with perfect beads was I allowed to advance to vertical welding, and I was hung up on that for about a week when a piece of slag got behind my safety glasses, and I had patches over my eyes for 2 weeks. I never went back and finished the course, and I wish my dad had pushed me to go back and finish. I've been wanting to get back into doing it, so I can do some things and I started out with a HarborFreight Chicago 125 flux welder, it's only 125 volt, I'm really motivated to get a real mig welder that uses 250v and gas 75/25. The Chicago welder is okay for very little! I was really thinking about getting a Lincoln multi process welder until I saw you using the Miller. I'm not sure what your Miller ran you, but Lincoln has a basic multi process welder for around 1,400.00 dollars; capable of Mig, Tig and stick welding, and they have one that is nearly 6,000.00. I'm way too rusty to even think about spending 6K on one lol, but watching you build the rack for you 3500 RAM really inspired me to make a smaller version for my Chevy Silverado 1500 WT. Because I would really like to put a rooftop tent on it and get out to the lake this summer and do some fishing! I grew up fishing as a kid; because mom loved to fish, so I have some really great memories of camping at the Desoto Ben lakes up North when we lived in Nebraska, and even at some of the small lakes down in Oklahoma. you really do some great welding, in my humble opinion, for whatever it's worth. Thanks for sharing all the how to videos. I like the round tubing you use for racks and bumpers. It gives a nice look. I liked the way the rack on your Land Rover turned out. The dimple dies give a nice look while adding a little strength. That's new for me, I didn't know it was making things lighter while adding strength. Really learning a lot from your channel, so thanks for sharing all the projects!

[@wes11bravo]

I'm on the verge of getting my first machine to do some frame work on my '01 TJ. This was a concise and encouraging video, Nate. Appreciate it.

[@onetruebob_tj]

Thank you so much, Nate. Watching your fab videos and seeing what you been able to create you've motivated me to take a welding course and buy a welder. Keep doing what you're doing! Please and thank you. 👊👍🤘

[@DirtLifestyle]

Awesome! Very excited to hear that I'm giving someone some motivation to fabricate! This is a life changing skill that is worth every second that it takes to learn 👍

[@joerivs80]

Saved this video. I’ve been learning to weld the last couple years at my job but it’s only a few times a year. I’d like to get my own welder and practice myself.

[@stevej6824]

Love the new intro. And some great basic advice to help get more people burning their own parts together. You kept it simple but extremely informative. Good job 🤘

[@ki113rkkrclips9]

This is encouraging me to take welding class next year for high school

[@mixter7]

I didn't realize the tacking was so important. In my haste, i made some crooked welds, but now i know why. Great video. You get right to it, without all the inconsequential stuff. Keep up the good work!

[@phantomwalker8251]

allways clamp & tac the work,& spread the welds out,same as torqueing a head.these days you can arc weld just about any metal.you should arc weld,before,you buy a mig.mig is blindfold welding.

[@BamaGirl1217]

Thanks for posting this video!! I am good at soldering (thanks youtube!) and want to try learning how to weld. This is a great video for beginners, like myself! It will be useful in the business that I am in. There always seems to be a truck bed or trailer that needs to be fixed by someone who knows to weld. After I get some practice in I will be able to fix those things.

[@huntersmith8930]

pro tip for those mig pliers if you put them all the way against the nozzle with the side with the bigger gap touching the nozzle it gives you the perfect stick out length every time

[@dougenyart9243]

This is good information and if you want to start learning more you can also contact your local community College and ask if they have any classes most of them do and then you have a certification that can go on your resume

[@jimwhitman5805]

Nice starter plan! I bought my welder while I was still driving and it sat in the shop brand new waiting for me to get some time off. When I did get anytime it was either the reset hrs for my log book ( 36hrs) , and I was so wasted from running the miles. But then I ended up in a wreck and suffered a head injury and found out real quick the simple things I knew from childhood were hard to do. My head just couldn't wrap around and tell my hands to hold things. Even trying to tell my son's how to do the task was futile and so frustrating. It took 6 months of retraining my head to allow me to get outside and work on a car trailer I bought. I found out quick I'm a 2 handed welder...lol Nerves make my hands shake so I have to hold on to get any kind of nice welding done. The boys just sit back and let me work on it for a while and when I take a break they step in and finish it. They keep saying to upgrade to a better machine, but I keep saying show me more welding first. I really do want to get into the Miller brand, but we are limited in space for projects. I'm looking into getting the gas to get better welds with our little machine. Love the video and all the stuff you are creating for your vehicles. Saw this J20 and thought of yours it's called ROAMR.

[@DirtLifestyle]

I know the feeling buddy. I've been recovering from a brain injury I had from a car accident 2 years ago. Took a year to feel like myself again. Its strange relearning basic skills and nobody understands your struggling because you can still carry on a conversation. Keep working on it brother 👍these skill can only get better with time and dedication! Thanks for watching the videos!

[@cavemanjoe7972]

You can still find good deals now & then on Craigslist for used mig welders. Most of the time, people seem to think their welder is worth just as much as the day they bought it 22 years ago, but sometimes you'll see someone who just upgraded and wants the space in their shop or garage so you get a deal if you can catch it.

[@elesjuan]

OH yes yes yes yes!!! I was super sad to see you're no longer on Bleepin' Jeep and I couldn't watch the rest of your builds... Thankfully found you via a Reddit post asking what happened to you. Not sure what happened, but I really miss your videos . Hopefully you keep doing what you do on here! Subbed immediately!

[@DirtLifestyle]

[@TheParkingLotGarage]

It'd be cool to see an advanced welding tips video! You've covered the basics here & some additional stuff with the better-looking-welds video + other tips here and there. A more advanced vid would be sweet too. I love the welding playlist!

[@jeffruebens8355]

I like brazing and JB Weld for thin steel body panels, and making thick steel brackets that bolt together with grade 8 bolts where possible. See the Project Farm KZbin videos for maintenance tips for vehicles. For a hobbyist, welding thick steel might be best to hire out, because of the cost of the equipment and the time to have enough experience. In college the teacher had us weld 2 thick steel plates together, then he put one side in a big vise and hit the other side with a big sledgehammer. If the weld bent instead of breaking it was good.

Nice video. I've come to learn over time that the "whip" or forward back and the "C" technique ( if making the "C" back into the puddle instead of forward on the leading edge) can and usually do cause cold lap and lack of fusion. Also, anything over 3/16" should really be welded uphill, if it's structural. Like the channel!!

[@brianluck84]

I was taught the cursive lower case e, but I often use the whip and pause as well. I'll use the if I've got bad fit. Really helps close the gap and doesn't keyhole too bad

[@AndreGomes1987]

what do you mean uphill?

The best way is to go to trade school, I thought I was good after 5 years learning on my own, but nothing beats taking classes. Don't get me wrong this tutorial will get you going with great results for the weekend warriors at home, the guy is a good teacher. I got lucky my employer sent me to school.

Cool! In part two, can you go over welding thicker metal to, well, cheese - aka frame stiffeners to the cherokee frame? That's the one I've been practicing - and man there's a huge challenge there with poking holes (I'm basically using 3/16s and sheetmetal)

Auto darkening lids are awesome, but i do not recommend the Harbor Freight ones. I had one for a while, and it quick working after a while. It would darken, but not as much as it should. I guess maybe the knob that adjusts the darkness quick because i had it maxed out.
