TIG WELDING JOINT REQUEST! (NEAR FAIL..)

Today I do a new type of episode where I do a Tig Welding Joint Request! And I pretty much botched it. All good though. I had a viewer send me a message, asking if I'd give a demo on a specific type of joint... So.... Challenge accepted! I give a demo on how to plan my weld, direction of travel, how to tack, start-stops... all the details I take the time to plan when doing a project. Unfortunately it just turned out kind of.... sucky. All good though, that's the way they go sometimes. And I'm happy with the info I could provide anyway, so all in all I hope it helps someone.

Thanks for checking out this vid! Check out another recent challenge I did here🤙🔥 kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2euinemf61-orM

[@charlesperry1580]

Dude, you are a pleasant soul. World needs more of that for sure. Great, honest content.

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Charles thank you 🙏 I appreciate that a lot. I’m having a blast doing this, and love keeping things positive and light in a trade that can seem a bit stiff at times. Thank you so much for checking my vid!🙏

[@kevinaponte7078]

I agree 100 percent we need more kind people who are teaching the world in all things thank you dusty

[@Whooperguide]

Thank you. I wouldn’t have thought to top feed. That was a great tip.

[@marcinkreczman7640]

It looks absolutely sweet as you say. Loads of people weld,but you are special - it's in Your blood. 🤘😎💁

[@agpilot4972]

I get this joint quite often and I struggle with it too. The heat seems to get trapped in the corner and it's hard to keep the arc tight without hiding the tungsten behind the cup. Glad to hear I'm not the only one that struggles with this one.

[@sledsports]

Great job. You are a pleasure to watch. You are the kindest, modest, and humble man on this planet. Glad to see the Canaweld as always. Little guy could of used a smidgen of helpium (helium) on that heavier piece of angle. You made it happen perfectly.

[@russelldahlberg7717]

Great vids, I like how you show the welds in real time, it really helps get a feel for how fast I should go. Thanks

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Cheers my friend!

[@paulhatch7759]

You make it look so easy. Thanks for showing in real time. I hate that when people speed up the video.

[@HawaiiGoesFishing]

Great to see an inside corner being welded, along with the wraps around the edges. Thanks!

[@olegvelichko1659]

Thanks for the positivity, man. Really great vibes from each of your video. The "random act of kindness for a stranger" is a really big deal, especially nowadays. Stay safe out there, and thanks again for the hard work you do and the positive message.

[@chobiefrank2909]

Dusty, Always pick up some great tips from you. Thanks man. You're the best. Andy

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

I appreciate that Andy. Glad you enjoyed:)

[@daveyab4889]

thanks man i am strenghtening the frame of my car transport trailer and it has a lot of these joints to weld so it is great to find such a good video that explains these joints i also like all the explanation

[@garthbutton699]

This is a real tough joint to master and you did it well thanks for the video.

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Cheers Garth!:) Hope you are well my friend

[@camdenknowlton9028]

Great video as always! I was interested to see how you would tackle that inside corner. Last week I had a bunch of those same joints on some stainless legs for a table. My approach was to start in the very inside corner and work my way outwards for each side, switching hands for the other side. I wasnt that happy with the way the very inside corner turned out and how the welds were going 2 opposite directions instead of making it look like one continuous flow like you did here. Thanks for posting Dusty! 🪙🪙

[@tig376]

Pipe welders don't get inside corners! 🤔😂. Good video! You put 100% into your work - pushing for perfection!

[@pergustafsson5481]

Just started some TIG welding after weeks of MAG and just loving ur vids, taking in everything i can learn of ya! :D

[@blickster_4568]

You do any car performance things? Oil catch cans? Intercoolers? If so that would be an amazing video if you were ever up for it! Amazing videos! One of the only tig guys i watch and learn from!

[@markevans3027]

Great video, out to the garage to give it a try. Hope mine will turn out as bad as yours. 👍😁

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

😂😂😂

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Cheers mark you killed me with that one 😂🍻

[@michaelcostello6991]

No up slope because !!! Remember some of us know very little. Thanks and another thumbs up. Mike

[@welder8942]

lets talk about pressure build up inside tube and ventilation. like you ive been in the trade for 20years (nearly) something that got me was pressure building up when finishing a joint and the weld exploding, stainless and ally. all the best uk

[@dankrier6300]

Wow...thank you so much for doing that (and you got my name right). I just got back today from a trip to the mountains where there was no cell service. You make that look so easy! One question on your starts...when you're warming up the piece to get your puddle established, are you going full pedal? I know how important that is to get a good weld going. I struggle trying to get both pieces to wet properly, and if I camp out too long I end up overheating one and making a mess. Also is your tungsten 3/32, and your filler 3/32 or 1/8? I noticed you put a bend in your rod to help with the angles. Again thank you...that really helps to see it done properly.

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

I tried! I wish I had of done my starts a bit better. I’d have gone full pedal (200 amps) and given more fill right away. Helps to heat up filler material to wed instead of working the parent material too much (like I did. Looks a bit overheated and blown out,) but happy to help in any way:) And I appreciate the idea for a joint challenge! Thank you Dan!🍻

[@marcinkreczman7640]

Same problem 😅😅 I think,maybe we don't clean the material propoerly 🤔🤔

[@jaydougxc7]

Heyyyy that looks pretty good. A few tips, aluminum likes to be welded fast. Your travel speed is a bit slow. Maybe limited by the machine amperage? A little preheat goes a long way. Great videos mate. You do some beautiful work 👌

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

🙏🙏

[@sktigwelding]

👏👏🙌🙌🙌 Great job again dusty,I always learn something new from your vids,keep up the good work.

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Nice Ryan! Glad you enjoyed. I really appreciate you checking out the vids my friend 🙏🙏

[@billwolf4512]

Thanks great to see this in real time really enjoyed.

[@alanhare518]

Stellar bro,hard position to make pretty for the best of us ! 👊

[@chrislove8502]

I love your channel and wanted to thank you for what you do. Have you done much Aluminium Tig without the foot pedal? Most of what I do is out of position, so I use a on/off finger switch. I find it to be interesting to see the difference in technique for heat control when not using a pedal. Managing the pool with speed of travel and filler input. I would love to see your take on that technique if you get the chance. Again, thank you for sharing your awesome skill and knowledge!!!

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Awesome idea Chris. I appreciate the suggestion 🙏🙏🙏

[@abelurrutia1192]

Great Job. Good video. I wouldn’t worry about , people always love to complain.

[@larrymoore5394]

Great video, and explanation. Nice work. Thanks , Larry Moore

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Thanks Larry! Hope you are well my friend!

[@weldingempire]

Awesome video, You know your stuff and you don't leave any details out. Cheers.

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Cheers! 🙏🍻

[@gregbrown9271]

Just what I needed to looks awesome to me thanks man

[@darrenpfefferkorn980]

Really appreciate your videos. Obviously very talented. I make my apprentice watch your vids lol. A major fault I can see in my own welding is running too hot. However, heat input can be reduced with travel speed. I really think if you ran a bit hotter on this you would have killed it. Ive seen some of the stuff you lay down and not going to lie I'm a little jealous 🤣 keep up the great content 👌

[@mplscycleco]

Man. You a great human. Awesome video, too!

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Thanks for checking it out🙏🙏

[@siberianok]

"I´m not very happy with this one" haha OMG

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

😂

[@noname6568]

Nice looking weld I must say!

[@philiproyffe8022]

Hi Dusty, have thought about trying to mount a camera to your shield, on the side maybe, would give the viewers the same view as you have and you wouldn't have to work around the camera

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

That’s a good idea Philip! I’ve tried a couple things like that but nothing successful yet. I will hopefully soon!🍻

[@SlowEarl1]

Really enjoy this style of video ! Nice work !

[@martydegier9279]

Great job Dusty as usual!..here's a challenge for you,next vid only weld with your right hand.

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Oooooooh Marty you cheeky bugger😂 Alright. Hitting it down now!😂

[@martydegier9279]

Atta boy,I'll even join you,as in give me a day&I'll weld everything left handed@ work..just to be fair lol have a great Thanksgiving

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Haha cheers Marty you as well:)

[@tonihernandez6405]

Nice job very clean!

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Thanks my friend! Hung in there for that one...!😂🙏

Try to keep your filler in the gas field as much as possible. That pop on re entry is the oxidation from taking it too far away. Nice work you do there.

[@kenneth6731]

Outstanding!

[@liuyunqian]

That's good weld, a little flaw. Could have turned amp up 25 amps to make it flow easier.

[@elguelo5808]

Good video thanks Man🤙🏽

[@Fortheloveofmetal]

Killer work as always! Looks damn good to me🤷‍♂️😎

[@joefowler6866]

Justin (TFS) says all you ever need for aluminum is a #5 cup but you often use bigger (#8 in this instance). Can you explain your reasoning?

[@sebfullick5011]

What does up and down slope do on a Tig machine?

[@konstantindemidov873]

В углу горелой ручкой к верху удобнее в данном месте

[@williamscott2823]

Nice welding

[@noname6568]

I'm a retired boilermaker tube welder, and I never dabed on a long run.

[@4speed3pedals]

I have a question. When you started the weld, you heated the metal before proceeding. What condition alerted you that the metal was up to temp? Exactly what should one look for? The camera picks up the arc and sorta hides the weld pool. Thank you.

[@sinisasoric5800]

somehow it looks like bit "cold" in meaning you wait tooo long when you start... most of other welders have different aproach, hit it hot and slowly lower the amps... if you can give me your point of view... nice video and wels 👍👍

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Thanks my friend! I should have hit it hotter, and more fill to start. Then the fill will wed out faster and blend a bit smoother. All good tho. I’m tempted to try again...:)

[@gregwilkins7649]

Really like the weld critique at the end of the video. When you re-center the button at the end of the weld did you add more filler? Or was that just re-melting the bead?

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Hmmm can’t recall. Probably added a small dab:)

[@michaelcostello6991]

Did you have to stop on inside corner or do you recommend this method ? Thanks Mike

[@odingamez106]

hell yeah are you gonna every show us the playlist you listen to when you weld?

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Hmmmmm. I could. I might scare some people off tho😂 I post my music I’m digging on my Ig stories a fair bit.🙏

[@odingamez106]

@@PacificArcTigWelding hell yeah

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Basically rap, metal, punk and electronic 😂😂

[@stevenbolton1096]

I'm just starting to learn how to tig and I'm working on Stainless and when I'm welding I keep getting these super bright yellow flashes and can't see what I'm doing... why is this?

[@geoffmickelson9235]

I tried to tig aluminum tube but used aluminum electrical conduit and had a terrible time I was using 2” aluminum conduit. Is aluminum conduit made of very poor and dirty aluminum material or was it something I was doing wrong thanks

[@tomthompson7400]

is this not just a day to day weld job joint?

[@outdoorzone]

Sweet demo!!! What size filler rod on that?

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Thank you! That was 1/8”:)

[@grabbabitewelfed1641]

You could have extended your tungsten and used a bigger cup/ turned up the gas a little more....

[@sofianorca5210]

Hello . My dream is to specialize and become a professional in tig welding, but I do not know what is the best institute to register in America please help

[@konstantindemidov873]

Привет, щеткой зачищая из нержавейки и ацетоном обрабатывай лучше и проще сваривать меньше грязи в шве.

[@Moparmaga-1]

Dusty don't you think you should build a dodge dart in secret & surprise whoop Joey's car next year?

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

😂😂😂

[@joell439]

👍👍😎👍👍

[@PacificArcTigWelding]

Cheers Joel!

[@noname6568]

They do make cups that would make that weld much easier!

[@noname6568]

Your students need to remember that heat rises and it makes a huge difference.
