[@1mawesomel1kethat]

you sound a bit like Robin from Emkay, your voice is amazing

[@raymond_rayder]

I like the combination of raw stuff and post-operation commentary. The videos are awesome in pretty much every way.

[@DeathclawJedi]

Agreed a little raw footage comment here and there shows what he is thinking in the moment and adds a nice touch to the video.

[@alessandropru]

I agree as well!

[@devoid42]

Same I like the random in person commentary sometimes for the "right then impressions"

[@Digital_Dairy]

Yes I think the combination is both more organic and well thought out.

[@tatertots-n-soup]

I think someone can be a better producer when it is easier to put out more quality content easier versus harder to create professional content slower and more frustrating. I think we all understand time vs money. And your time is better spent in the family and adventure instead of extra hours in the edit room. If paying for an editor then that changes everything. This is your channel and your content. If get so burnt out you cant direct. Then take your family to the family and relax and play while providing some act for them until you urge to grow again and ideas will flourish once again. Yes this is your job and it takes alot of time and with less viewers as the youtube platform has changed. Altho its all about routine. It is more about relationship of that routine. The people want to feel important to you. If that is achieved they will not need to fight for your attention and a harmonized community will establish.

[@DarianWallace]

You're the first person on KZbin that I've seen actually stating the cost of the work. Great stuff

[@tsarworkshop5366]

for the same work in Russia its about 100$)) sad story of my life)

[@psineil]

Make the videos however you like. Just keep making them. I learn a ton here and appreciate your effort.

[@seanalexander9531]

+1

[@kevintaylor113]

I second the motion, keep’em coming! However you choose to narrate your content is cool! Just like most repairs or projects they don’t always have a script or instructions and getting 60 grit rough cut is sometimes best!

[@robertshelton3796]

Hey, let me add that I'm really really really happy with your transparency about pricing. I watched your video on that, I know not all shops will be the same, but getting a vague idea (is this 100s or 1000s) really helps.

[@jlibb099]

I like both styles, the nitty gritty and the more polished voice overs

[@paulgorie2103]

True down to earth content. Not just flashy insta worthy weld porn. This is the kind of thing you would come across more often than not. Well done Justin. I always love your videos.

[@therealq10]

Best channel on KZbin. Thanks for all the years of learning, man.

[@therealq10]

Follow up: I like the raw and the voiceover parts.

[@vladimirpodlesak]

Justin, any content from you, regardless of raw or voice-over, is valuable and much appreciated. Thank you!

[@sushia.f.1809]

Your content helps so much. Honest, to the point and not worried about sugar coating. Keep the press man.

[@thegeniuspower9149]

im 21 its been about 6 months i picked up my first welder wich is a mig flux core welder that i use regularly as an hobbyst. the real difficulty its not the operation of welding wich if you get used to the movement and the speed its pretty easy to learn. but the preparation . only seeing this man putting so much effort into preventing cracks and failure into his welded parts really inspires me to continue learning the job. so many stuff to learn

[@TankManHeavy]

Lol real brother, I'm 1.5 years into welding at college MIG/TIG/MMA(Stick) and you soon figure out the hard way that welding is 90% prep work and 10% welding. Still love it though, keep it up! 🙌

[@bobsmith1101]

It;s all good brother. I like the mix of the over lay over the video and the in-process narration.

[@Lawrench00]

Awesome addition to your work! Love to see some real life repairs being done along with the little details you shared. Both styles together works for me.

[@daysend1341]

I like the mesh up of both. The raw and voice over for more in-depth info. Great video

[@robertshelton3796]

I actually like both. The overview commentary is informative and the candid commentary is -- well -- candid. Thanks for sharing, and PS: I'm a degenerate welder

[@kiaenigmaadventures]

Def like both in the videos! Love you being so humble with your skill and work, not many are as honest as you are!

[@skysurferuk]

I'm a retired Brit Boilermaker. Been doing this crap all my life, successfully, I think 😁. Never had the technical support I needed, & your explanations are tying in with my experience. I'm having a lot of "Ah! So THAT's why!" moments... Great content, subbed. 👍

[@redgadget6569]

I personally like both, I’m still learning how to TIG weld. Thank You

[@Marco_My_Words]

About the raw footage or voice over: I enjoy a little of both. The voice over makes it seem higher quality while the raw parts build a certain sympathy and connection to the viewer.

[@danielharrah9984]

I pretty much like the style that gives me the most detailed information and you usually make that happen so carry on

[@Volvith]

I like the raw footage, with the interesting live highlights. Pretty much a combination of the best bits of the two, entertainment from the raw, information from the voiceovers, would be perfect. ;)

[@atubeviewer4942]

Im not an experienced tig welder so I personally like the narration you do, otherwise I wouldnt know what to draw my attention to and why. I also like the cost breakdown you do. Its been a while, glad youre doing well.

[@gloryautomotiveservices2578]

I too prefer the commentary over raw.

[@edsmith3948]

My favorite is the raw, with voiceover where more detail is needed. They're all good, but raw tends to have more entertainment value.

[@Lapiz_34]

I really like the combination of the voiceover and the raw footage, keeps it interesting

[@tomthompson7400]

youve a good balance on scripted and non scripted , as it is is just fine it lets everyone know whats going on . And even better you share the actual time taken and the costs involved .

[@hawkertyphoon4537]

I work in IT and Tip my Hat to you Craftsmen. Your work holds this world together - quite literally!

[@gutlass]

I liked how you augmented the overall video with the insert of unscripted footage. It highlighted your thought process, which is helpful.

[@Tea18236]

i love the raw unedited stuff and the voice over. pls keeping doing a combo of both

[@revell7156]

I'm a sponge and your info is water. Voice over and raw data are both great. Thank you.

[@cameronnelson8593]

I like the post commentary because I have a major hearing loss and I can hear you a lot more clearly you’ve helped me learn tig welding

[@Frenchiezy]

I enjoy having the raw footage. Helps understand your line thinking and troubleshooting

[@mikedmt]

I've been a subscriber for a long time. This channel taught me how to narrow the 8.8 under my project car, which AC/DC Tig welder would work for my budget and next I'm going to rewatch the time attack cage how-to to get my bender dialled in and a cage in the car. Super glad to see a video that kind of gets back to the roots. I'm stoked that the Tig school and goods for sale are going good, for sure. But this is the content that I personally tune in for. Thanks for the hard work!

[@Ryan-hf9qz]

Uncut footage is always good, it's nice to see your reaction as a human

[@henrymorello186]

Sir, it is always a pleasure to watch your presentations. A lesson is always learnt, no matter what knowledge I have gained in my 56 years on this earth.

[@Helloimethan08]

I prefer this video, showing the raw work that actually goes into repair.

[@Preen59]

Love both the scripted and unscripted stuff mate. Really cool!

[@waywardson4940]

Please keep details and raw stuff in the videos, post op commentary is awesome too. Great videos, VERY informative and you do an excellent job transferring your wealth of knowledge to us your loyal viewers. Please keep making these videos. I find them HIGHLY valuable.

[@OifelOifel]

I like to see all the steps. For one you see the worl put into it, two it is satisfying to watch a pro work. 👍👍👍

[@divinedragoon4743]

I like both raw commentary and post commentary. It's very entertaining and feels more organic.

[@ericjon262]

I like both the voice over, and the raw footage.

[@TheUncleRuckus]

I like the combination of the unedited with voice over like you did with this video. 👍👍 I know you said you didn't want to buy lesser metals for the fix, which makes sense but, I was wondering is there a reason you didn't use the metal from the pipe you cut from the part in the beginning of the video?

[@theodorenickel7462]

Love you vids. My wife says I am addicted. Keep the comments and the humor, they keep an instructional vid alive.

[@micheallandreth6624]

little bit of both is nice for the commentary it keeps it real while also being educational

[@chriswatkins6222]

I honestly would like to see a combo of both cuz it’s what I like to do and would like to see more of what goes on behind the scenes to get that perfect part

[@stephengriffith1605]

I liked the combination of both and it’s always hearing it raw and uncut Keep up the great work I need to go back and look at the lower hertz video to get some better knowledge of aluminum welding again. Thank you for another great show. Stephen

[@jimxiong04]

I like the mixture of both raw and voice over. Thanks for teaching

[@VoidedWarranty]

I like both commentary styles. I like learning from voiceover but I like raw stuff for longer sitting on the couch entertainment

[@chrisbutterfield8743]

I like both honestly. The unscripted is nice as it sometimes captures the thought process at the time, and the voice over is good for overall concise information.

[@jplcustoms1642]

I enjoy the raw footage combined with the voice over giving an explanation of what you're up to.

[@anthonysanchez3901]

Love everything about your videos but I love the raw footage I've been welding stainless for 20 years and I've learned alot watching yer videos

[@Billydevito]

I’ve been looking everywhere for a plier-hammer. I found them next to the screwdriver-chisel and the adjustable-spanner crowbar ! 😎

[@the.unhappy.mechanic]

I like it when it's unscripted, from bigging to end, it shows your real process.

[@jeremyfowler7505]

What I love is how you do repairs on a cheap turbo manifold like that and they are mad that the repair cost what it cost. Time is money!

[@rniejx4219]

I just love the stuff you show working on. So many internet tig welders show beautiful welds done on standard pipe or plate joints using fresh clean new metal, which is not at all like the reality of weld quality that can be expected on repair welds on non-standard joints.

[@MrSky084]

A combination of real time and voice over works for me! Love ya work.

[@granadojl]

I like the real world footage… regardless of voice over or live narration. Capturing the real world issues like repairing other peoples work and coming across crap to repair is real world. I am a hobbiest and come across poor jobs to repair. The cast aluminum videos you have have been helpful and built my confidence to tackle a job.

[@kc8mwt]

This is an AWSOME video. I love it when you tell the issues at hand... it keeps the guess work down for all of us that havent seen it.

[@aleksmukha7787]

Combination of the two, seeing your thought process live and unedited helps orient how you are solving the problem step by step, very helpful to apply to my own practice.

[@tune3garage]

Raw and I unscripted is a nice addition to your outstanding video productions.

[@wint3rsmith42]

Combination of commentary and real film chat is good. Thanks for loads of info again and total trenchancy about problems, mistakes and costs as always. Great video

[@user-gm4ys3hx9o]

I love the raw inputs, because your emotions can show

[@mandeladams4793]

Both styles of editing or broadcasting the messages are well done. They are clear, show a wealth of knowledge, common mistakes that can be made by all, and help people decide which road to take; open the wallet and close thy mouth 👄 to have the work done by someone else or hike up the trousers and dive into the chores and never ending rabbit holes/ obstacles to undertake the task themselves. No one understands how "quick and painless " a task is until they roll up their sleeves and give it a shot.

[@ModernBeastx1]

I like both voice over and some clips of the raw footage. Good shit!

[@shona5512]

I would usually get my brother to do all my Tig welding work, but since he's currently building a house he doesn't really have much time to do it for me these days, and I hate waiting around because it kills my motivation. So I'm just starting it myself, and this channel has been vital for my progression, there's just so much valuable knowledge in all your content. I really appreciate it.

[@Jursaw]

I like the mix of raw footage and also the voice over. I enjoy when you talk about how much you charge or how much that job should pay. An estimate is good

[@oneeyeworx]

Being half blind and Tig welding I dip my tip all the time. Depth perception is Soo much fun. Thanks for the lessons.

[@jamesbizs]

It’s never “just the tip”.

[@gillycars1775]

I love the raw reaction commentary in your vids

[@williamwatson9186]

15:11 shows exactly where you are placing the filler rod in respect to the puddle in really good detail. Keep up the good work and make videos as you like 👍

[@gianlucasabene7191]

I like hearing the raw reactions and i also like the meticulous voiceover explaining in detail what's going on! Keep up the good work! Love your channel!

[@alejonin]

Would love for you to go over the tig settings and why they were chosen. It’s a welding video after all. Learning about the cutting and grinding is cool but it’ll be nice to have short reminders about the settings.

[@ButBigger42]

He has videos on settings. I assure you that the only settings are machine on, dc, and foot pedal control.

[@Tvngsten]

I think a combination of both voice over and on-the-fly stuff is great.

[@yowie0889]

Great video. I like the high density of information in the relatively short videos - a refreshing change from a lot of dragged-out one-topic clickbait on youtube. I have no particular preference Re voice-over editing style - although I wouldn't drop the slick studio voiceover percentage too low. A combination as it suits you might be the winner.

[@aaronbuildsa]

Love this video Justin - and the sound effect when you decided to have the filler and the tungsten make sweet, sweet love raised a proper laugh 🤣

[@MrWetstone]

I like any thing you put out. Real world projects like this are very cool to watch. Thanks!

[@Masso1973]

You never cease to amaze me man. Definitely keep explaining what your doing during your work, learning a lot from what you say, thanks.

[@iamskoza]

i like the combination of the two. Voice over and raw! learn a lot from your videos many thanks mate!

[@SusedatLubo]

This is amazing. I remember getting my 4-2-1 manifold on my D series Civic shipped from Poland (Basically the same as the Ebay 4-2-1 manifolds, but it is 304 steel so that is amazing) several months back and people on forums complaining how you should go with the branded expensive stuff because the cheap ones leak from the 4-2 flange yata yata. Indeed the flange was bent from welding, also the hole was creating a bottleneck as it wasn't the same diameter as the tubes and third, the gasket itself was creating an even bigger bottleneck as it was smaller than the hole and showing inside the opening. The solution? Just cut off the flange and remove it altogether. Weld the 4-2 tubes together and make the whole manifold 1 big piece. No bottlenecks, no gasket leaks. It just goes to show that you don't need to throw two bags of money at everything to get the desired effect, you just need to use your head sometimes. Plus it's more fun when you make something work and basically "make something out of nothing". To me buying expensive already perfect parts and just bolting in is the same as just buying a faster car. Where's the fun in that?

[@jamesbizs]

Sure. Super easy. If you have the tools and skills.

[@sacrificialrubber779]

The combo footage is cool. Whatever works for you and your style

[@rwcasto]

I like it- very detailed. Voice over is cool- but raw is super cool too.

[@davidellison6571]

I like the raw unscripted footage! Makes it real!

[@pureblood324]

Completely raw as it happens preferably no voiceover and makes it much easier to pick up on the little tricks the trade that you have in my personal opinion

[@MarkSouthy]

Big game of how you did this video, a mix of commentary and raw audio. Also really appreciate you being open about pricing.

[@evanknoch]

i think you have a good mix of "live" vs voice over for your content. love your work!

[@RalfyCustoms]

Love the mix of raw and editing buddy, great work and Ive learned something always 👍

[@DJJ81]

This is the first time I’ve seen your channel and you do well with both voice over and in video voice. I dont know man, im just glad you don’t do the typical KZbin “wannabe cool narrator” tone. Good vid man, stoked

[@matthewpeck4016]

I love the combination of scripted voice-over with live commentary. Your channel continues to refine and your content is terrific.

[@TheChristopher1972]

I really don't care how you do your videos, they are all really good. I have learned so much from them, also I havn't been seeing much of your work on youtube. Keep up the good work

[@JCoActual]

So nice to see a fresh video! Love the raw aspect as it makes my intrusive thoughts when learning be a bit less existential lol

[@dwaynehope1689]

I like the raw footage. it's nice to know that I'm normal dabbing my tungsten.

[@juanignaciocaino]

Another vote for the "raw" thing. A nice throw back to earlier content which I kind of enjoyed more.

[@THEREALISTICWELDER]

It's a bad ass video. I like the mixture of raw and voice over it makes it more real and you did a freaking jam up job fixing those parts.

[@chriso1373]

"Weave it wide and wish it well" Nice to know after all these years I'm STILL learning stuff from your videos. Even if it's great little quips to add to my repertoire 😂😂

[@drunkennewfiemidget4251]

"My plier hammer combination tool" *is a cheap pair of pittsburgh needle-nose pliers* I love it.

[@AkPacerPilot]

It’s awesome either way, makes no difference to me. It’s the info, thought process, and how to…. Thank you for what you do!

[@Angeles-uh4dc]

Both commentary and raw footage!💪

[@ronbelldvm]

Either way works for me. Whatever works for you to keep the videos coming is fine.

[@felipao007i]

I also like both ways, raw and voice over. 👍

[@badassbanana100]

I like both the cliff notes and the raw footage. For me that instant thought diolouge adds a personal tpuch to it and makes it feel more personal, if that makes sense

[@sgtpepper4971]

Wide weave and hope for the best!! That was fn funny 😅 retired welder, that brought back memories.

[@bollera.bolljr2414]

I just started to attempt tig welding , watching your videos is helping greatly Thank You for the videos !
