It never ceases to amaze me how I learn something every time I watch your videos.

[@907jl]

Great tips! Big fan of Pledge as well. Works great on motorcycle helmet faceshields too! I learned of it, from the helicopter pilots that flew us to job sites. They used it on the windshield of the chopper. Made it easier to clean off the splattered bugs, dust, etc.....

[@adambergendorff2702]

People ask me all the time to help them learn tig welding. I always send them to your channel first because of videos like this one. great info, and clear explanation of why you do things the way you do!

Funny thing happened while i was in the middle of this class. My order from Furick came with REAL cups. I installed the Jazzy set up so far , then my welds went from black/grey crappy no matter what I tied. 1st 3 passes with the Furick cups were perfect color and nice small heat affected zone. Only will ever touch the cups that came with Eastwood unit for junk steel, or toss em in the china junk can. Furick was one of your best top 3 tips at least.

this guy is about the only guy i have seen that knows what he is talking about!

[@74willy81]

Good tips on every count, as usual. Thank you again for sharing the knowledge.

[@LivingMyBoostLife]

Just want to thank you for your videos. Theres loooads of TIG videos out there but yours just always seem to hit the spot, as if you've been watching me struggle and made a video just for me 😂 Keep at it! Cheers

[@paulenespika9119]

I went to Fabtech! (I live near Chicago) I bought a pair of pink Defiant Metal Tig gloves and a set of cups from Michael Furick. He even gave me a short "lesson" on welding inside aluminum corners. These are not one of my strong points right now. Whenever I mentioned your name, people only had good things to say about you. Myself included. I couldn't believe I walked the whole show without sitting down! Not too awful bad for a pair of legs about to turn 70!

[@kevinwebber2822]

Fantastic,thanks so much Dusty!

[@arthurowens9160]

I’m really enjoying the oldies while working on my bathroom.

[@rsdaarud]

Fabulous! You are the Teacher of Tungsten.

At 1:35 plus - look at your foot as you press the pedal down it hits the electrical connector. Eventually you're going to have a problem that will drive you nuts trying to figure out (intermittent electrical contact) Should ground out the piece that hits so as to prevent future problems.

Lemmon Pledge smells like weekend chores as a kid.

[@kaywhy1337]

Congrats on continuing to grow your channel man. I have been watching since the early days and always learn something new. Keep it up 👏

[@ratdown5]

Thank you for the tips.

[@MadeOfSteel_eBikes]

I found comfortable to lay straight objects going from middle of my torso away. Little offset is needed but when you pull with your bigger back muscled its more stable as motion only happens in one way

[@nightheron714]

I laughed at the cartoon gauge pointing at "All the heat in the universe." I may never have gotten to all the heat, but I've certainly reached temperatures appropriate for forming a star and a few orbiting planets. 🪙

[@umahunter]

Lol never heard of the pledge thing I've been using novus plastic cleaner and polish my neighbor gave me used for motorcycle windshields works great I'll have to try the pledge and see if there's a difference 👍👍👍

[@Bakanelli]

3:53 I HEAR YOU 1000% 👨🏻‍🏭

[@stevejanka361]

Another great video, always real world techniques. Thanks.

[@andyb7754]

Very good tips, thank you.

[@Mikael5732]

Very informative video. Thanks. 20 years? Wow. 👍🏻

[@gregwilkins7649]

Great info Dusty.

[@markevans1127]

Thank you for all the info you are agood teacher.

[@danshafer4979]

Great video Dusty, thank you so much 🙏

[@squarefour1]

Thanks. Great SIMPLE video. Great info

[@piet8803]

Great video.

[@robriley8008]

superb info as always😁

[@mgsoar8249]

Do you ever use a switch and have any tips for that over the foot pedal in the UK most work places use a switch trigger over the foot pedal?

[@bobprice9244]

I'm always welding piping roots. my arm won't allow me to to walk the cup so I glide along. I grab the torch from mostly the top and my fingers glide along the pipe. maybe it's the ove gloves that help with that and I don't feel any heat.

[@benjamin1031]

Dusty! How do you have such beautiful balls? I feel like I missed the memo on how to prep your tungsten the way that you do with the shiny ball.

[@bazkeen]

Nice tips 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bulletproofpepper2]

Thanks for sharing.

[@joshuacaylor881]

Tip #1 is taught in riding motorcycles too- target fixation and accident avoidance

[@martinkoche4375]

Greatful for your information. Thank you

[@patricksalmon3494]

Supers bons conseils pratiques. Merci

[@lightmetalinc.6488]

Knowing to not go full rip out the gate on the pedal is helpful to know. " I've seen the way you weld, you've got a heavy foot. "

[@erik61801]

great tips thanks man.

[@nackmurphy832]

How are you enjoying the optrel panaramax? Any chance you've also used the crystal 2.0 and have an opinion on one over the other?

[@tomcoker9882]

9/11. Thanks Dusty for another informative video. Now for something that may be below what you do. Due to budget haven’t got a fancy machine, but I was gifted an almost new Thermal Arc 95S. Do you have any helpful tips for using a touch/lift start TIG? Thanks.

[@asteroidpaper9985]

Hey man I’m welding in school but right now I’m struggling on keeping it straight I start off so good but as I keep welding I tend to curve down any tips

[@Flitzer514]

How long should it take to establish a welding puddle?

[@chrisallen2005]

42

[@scottcarr3264]

That depends on a number of things, the Material, the Thickness of it, the size weld you want, welding "thick to thin". If for instance your material is 10 mm or more thick Aluminium, you may take 10 to 15 seconds to get it up to temperature before you can start to add filler. The Golden "3 second rule" for Steel or Stainless is "If you can't get a puddle in 3 Seconds, you need more Amps". Aluminium takes as long as it takes, I have been Welding 65 mm Square blocks to 3.2 mm thick angle, and Even Pre-heating the Blocks it takes a while to get the Block up to temperature and Not Destroy the Angle, I had 240 Amps set on that one. I killed one Welding Machine (It's away being repaired [I hope] at the Moment) doing that job and Burst a cooling line on another machine. You pretty much Have to have a Cooler on your Welding Machine for these types of Amp ranges.

[@Spiritof_76]

Great welding info! But 20 years welding, what are you 38?

[@kmarshall131]

the pledge thing doesnt work.

[@jcdragon77]

Position is key

[@johnr5545]

Thanks god bless

[@larrymoore5394]

Good morning

[@scottcarr3264]

Unfortunately I work on Extremely 3 Dimensional parts, and you can't get further away, you are limited where you can lean on. I'm trying clamps etc, to give me temporary places to lean on to get the weld done. One of my biggest gripes are 99% of rotators DON'T have a through Hole, they are only about 2 1/2 " to 3" deep, so if you have a 26" long Pipe job and you want to weld a clevis in the end, you can't do it in the Rotator, you have to do it in the Vice a Quarter of a turn at a time, Bugger.

[@shirothehero0609]

PSA: They don't make that specific Pledge anymore - branded "natural beauty". The "natural beauty" line is gone and they remerched/changed it to "enhancing polish". I used that one like crazy on headlights and everything so when it disappeared I freaked for a minute. But they just changed the name 🎉 Rock on.

[@2000jago]

Wow, this video ends abruptly.... :(

[@setituptoblowitup]

Arch hours,you either got em or you don't no substatue for experience,If you caint 👀 it you can't weld it👊✌️🤑

[@Whosurdaddy71]

Orange pledge bra

[@jacobwells618]

🪙🪙🤓💙

[@sherwinstaudt1881]

First of all of your real welder you would get a different machine besides that DIY. I can't believe people are taking advice from an upstart. What a bunch of BS.

[@Hamid-az]

Smell chemicals liquid 😂😂😂

[@RalfyCustoms]

Sorry dude, as soon as a video switches shot, to where the presenter is sideways on, and not looking at the camera, I'm out. I have no idea whom started this trend, but it blows goats, look at me when you're talking to me Great info tho of course 😂

[@koh69r]

I've already listed the SDS sheets for pledge. Formerly MSDS for us old bastards For the LOVE of GOD, read the GD data sheets before the news does a documentary about the people who've damaged their eyesight!! Key words 👉 prolonged exposure, irreversible damaged, toxic (two of the ingredients) I've already had to show people the SDS and have them email the parent company to verify 🤦‍♂️

[@setituptoblowitup]

Shit you just sed don't make no sense prof Read yore💩and no material data safety sheet don't make you an old bastard,I wouldn't punch in if I didn't 👀 one.lock out tag out😂
