Professional Welders React to RIDICULOUS Viral Videos

[@Jeffrose_]

The aluminum foil plugging the new guy in. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

[@hanswichmann5047]

Hey no shit! I welded at Electric Boat just downstream from the base in the late '70's. Another reason I love this channel... Thankx..

[@staffanakerhjelm9780]

I was in a weldingclass with lots of young guys, so i pulled a little prank on one of them. I replaced the tungsten in his tighandle with a piece of stainless wire. He tried to weld and ”poff” the stainless wire was gone. He took it out, sharpened it, put it back. And ”poff”…. This repeated a few times until I laughed so hard he heard me…

@ 11:40 in the clyde side ship building yards back in the 70's they had a 4 foot welding rod 1/4'' that would self burn but held up at about 40 Deg with a simple cross stand the welders would have 2 or 3 burning at once welding decking plates .........

[@flatlinesup]

That high budget baller logo coffee cup tho... LOLZ

[@samuraidriver4x4]

The lack of contamination from the wood you mention at 12:35 might still be there in the form of some extra carbon in the weld. Then again the flux probably takes in most of the contamination anyway. One thing that's also notable is due to the wood burning it probably takes away most of if not all the oxygen so it might even be a good environment. I have put ductape between the ground clamp and the work when the new guys weren't looking often enough. Welder here, no trol🤣

[@mick2935]

I wonder if you could actually measure impurities in the weld or if it only contaminates the flux. If there is any contamination happening it would be nice to see it tested with a ceramic or concrete brick.

[@samuraidriver4x4]

@@mick2935yes you can do metallurgic analysis on the weld material to check the composition. Further more X-ray and/or ultrasonic inspection can be done to check for things like inclusions.

That’s some funny shit, even a year later. I’ve opened some piping systems where they used all-thread to “Fill” the gap. Prank wise, I’ve seen guys adjust the amperage while someone was welding. We did used to screw around with others vehicles back in the day. Large zip tie on the drive shaft, rocks in the hub caps (Ford Econoline dish hubcaps), anti-seize in the inside of the door handle, even a re-wire of the horn tied to the brake pedal.

Great video I’ve been waiting all week for this and not disappointed made me laugh Thankyou 👍👍keep up the great work

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Great video today Tay and the gang. 😂😂😂 so funny. Can't wait to see more videos soon boys. Can not wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends fab On. Weld on. Keep making. God bless.

[@dylanwatson98]

I liked this video! Just found your channel, and I'm new to welding. I have been having a hard time finding info on shipyard welding. Steve, I appreciate the bit of insight. Keep em coming!

[@Avi-716]

Jody on KZbin should be able to hook you up with any process you would be running.

[@bradpendleton5675]

As a fitter at a shipyard, our standard joke would be leave to the welders to fix. It is frowned upon. If you left a inch and a quarter gap weld the welder would hunt you down and cuss you out, then tell your boss. A good fitter takes pride in his fit up.

[@keenanhosking659]

Yeah do the video of trying those. Great video super funny.

[@smitty71XX]

The crusty covering is called slag. Can’t believe you didn’t know this. Really 👍🏻

[@flintironstag2381]

Shop welder for 30 years here. 1- Id be a bit pissed if i were welding. 2- I tried welding on a painted part (it was 3/16 thick). I was hoping id be able to burn the paint away as I welded. Needless to say, it didnt work. One of my many "let's see if this works" failures 😂😂😂. FYI, I had my mask ON the whole time. Thats something i NEVER DID 😂😂😂. 3- That was HILARIOUS!!😂😂😂 4-OH hell no! 5-Yeah, first "MIG weld" was so full of porosity! I'll add that the wire speed was way too high 😂😂😂😂. That was a good trolling job! Somebody who never weleed before would probably believe him, especially about the "chipping rust off the weld". 14:50- Damn, that must have taken forever to fill in!! This would work in a job shop setting where there's no xrays. In fact, he'd get a thumbs up for creativity!😂 Welding inspectiors arent usually in job shops from my experience thankfully. Im left alone to do my job.

[@davechretien9301]

LMAO, Some really funny things going on here

[@mikecurtis2585]

Always fun 👍! Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!!!!

[@mikegant9764]

Love your Videos, Thanks. P.S. ScoMo (Scott Morrison) is no longer Australias PM.

[@scorpion2005765]

Try the stick welding wood trick on your channel! Make an entire show of welding hacks!!

[@Self.reliant]

The lay down stick rod with the blocks works with 7018 rods. The melt rate and feed tate are so close you can do this without issue

[@ArniAtlason]

I laughed so much thank you for this video. Me working on a fishing ship as chief engineer I have never been able to make beautiful welds but they did hold the 10 of tons that they needed too. Try to weld on a ship rolling in middle of Atlantic ocean in middle of a storm and ocean sea raining over you. I can tell you NOT FUN but doable.

[@jschatvet]

You said “the” tik toks. Kinda like my dad says “the facebooks”. Welcome to old age 😂 (I do it too)

[@THANATOSIXU]

For the tig welding of the pipe, from was I was shown and taught is that the initial weld would get ground down, refilled and ground down until it is deemed acceptable. Personally not how I would do it honestly, bc thats a major PITA to deal with…

[@Fumingzeus]

Can’t believe you only have 11.5 thousand subs, I think your channel is excellent, there’s something for everyone, something different every time. Big big 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Felice_Enellen]

Give him time. He's really only getting off of the ground. For reference, you made this comment about 11.5k subs two weeks ago and now he has 16.7k. Hell, he might have 20k by the time you see this.

[@christopherbeattie3126]

My boss used to unplug my argon and run propane through my MIG welder. Porosity then a flame thrower😂

[@jonwaldrep3984]

So the block of wood trick is probably 7024 it's just a high deposit rod for big fillets and stuff

[@veejaybomjay8145]

Hi John, this is called "firecracker welding" in my region. I used to show it to the new guys all the time. I learned it from the old timers about 50 years ago. I also used to turn off the acetylene during a flame cut and amaze the newbies when the cut preceded normally. Yes, 7024 is best for firecracker welding. the wood covering is not needed but the quality of weld appears better with it.

[@tambaurorastation756]

The 1.25 gap would never pass a bend test. Good gap fill, but never pass an x ray test. Also never filmed him doing the overhead gap fill.

[@garyradtke3252]

Not making it because of cockiness is true in every profession. I am a mechanic and run into those that have a photographic memory and memorize every spec of the machines that interest them but when confronted with something not in the book they just stare at it in bewilderment.

[@soulsharts]

6010 electrode's flux is partially comprised of wood pulp, so it's not too outlandish.

[@Avi-716]

lol, we disconnect grounds while fucking with eachother on Nuke sites. Definitely happens in professional settings. Even more so, sometimes it's intentional. When putting in a root, not wanting to leave a fisheye, you can disconnect the ground, and it should be a solid pullout. Works 8/10 times. I've shot welds doing this. An example would be like repairing a root, having to tie into an existing section of root that doesn't have great pen, borderline suckback, and you don't want to run out your puddle applying heat and might suck it back.

[@joshwelch8288]

Good video,your out of shirts!! Lol im sure your well aware, can you add 2xl to your sizes? I didnt see it in the options? Ive gained a little weight the past 2 years :( sad face. Thanks for the vids! This is the first time ive seem that stick welding wood trick. Maybe the wood didnt contaminate the weld bc the fire was consuming oxygen? Idk just my thoughts. Pretty cool. Im a fitter and welder, now machinist at a structual steel fab company and the fitters for the most part are more worried about getting the columns/beams built quickly then they are with where the tacks are, Or how they look. I would love to have steve teach me to tig weld, i mean i can stick to peices of metal together with tig but its not going to look pretty. Unless i turn on the pulse setting lol. Id like to work with both of you for a few months i would learn so much. I dont care how much you think you know theres alway more to learn. And i have plenty of room to grow. That poor prime minsiter lol. Flash burn suuucks. Gotta try that aluminum foil trick :) edit: i legit wrote about (theres always more to learn) before the end of the video when you guys said the same thing lol. I was like AAAHHH No way!!! I just said that!!! You guys are awesome!

[@gettinbentfabrication9137]

Hahaha I'm a pipe line welder and I have bought alot of exotic animals with welder money 😅

[@Icehand531]

Thanks to teach me because i try to be a welder when i go to a college

[@bpdp379]

Where can I get that panda with the SAW sticker?

[@LiftArcStudios]

armtheanimals.com!

[@Dreyno]

Milk does nothing to help. Either wear proper PPE, grind away the galvanised and weld on a windy day or don’t weld galvanised at all.

[@lavonmarshal3127]

I think your welds look alright

[@73trippn]

Please hit up Frank to sponsor your video for this subject.

[@Kawika88]

Along with Professional coffee makers…

[@richardmalone6805]

A professional welder not knowing what flux is?

[@Felice_Enellen]

I was shown how to do stick welding ONCE and I knew he was trolling about the "rust". How could any accomplished welder think he was serious?
