HOW TO MIG WELD FOR BEGINNERS

[@salvagedsteelstudio]

I came here new to welding, and left with a masters degree in cooking.

[@annethrasher5783]

Hell yea lol

[@n2cable]

just need some eggs and toast and we are set. Guess we got to wait for those videos

[@nathanjames1514]

Haha classic

[@nathanjames1514]

Get the bangers on.

[@jeremyjohnson1872]

🤣🤣🤣

[@troydavies3225]

If you smell sausages when your welding take your mask off & make sure your pants aren't on fire.

[@oldbrickm]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[@tinkertime7165]

I was using a 4” grinder and saw a flickering light out of the corner of my eye, I stopped grinding and looked down to see.....my frikken trousers on fire. No word of a lie. Burnt all the hairs off my shin. LOL

[@whatfreedom7]

Tinkertime I watched someone drinking ad welding in cut off jeans. They were welding and caught the threads of their jeans on fire. Not the best choice of clothing for welding.

[@matthu6852]

Sausages fantastic :-D

[@joegomez8257]

LMAO

[@sabergermd]

Out of all the videos on MIG settings on KZbin this is the first one that actually made sense. Your analogy of flame/sausage is brilliant. Thank you!

[@noahguy562]

His way of explaining this is amazing. This is exactly what I was looking for!

[@Xpp.]

Im never going to look at my ‘sausage velocity knob’ the same again 😂😂😂

[@The1MrE1980]

38 years old. Decided to change my career. Started welding school a few days ago. Mix of beginners and more advanced students. Add to that the loud ass vents and demonic AC (Texas) it’s hard to hear. Instructor goes from beginning to advanced info without warning leaving me a bit lost at times. In the classroom it’s one instructor and 15 students. At least here i can watch some videos after I get home to fill in the gaps from school and it’s just me so it feels a little more one on one. Thankfully I’m not paying 150$ to RENT a video 😑 (school books ain’t cheap). Thanks for making videos.

[@Urchfab]

Stick at it buddy, Cheers

[@killemall69]

The1MrE1980 your the US me !

[@PKWeaver74]

Makes you wonder whether you're getting a better welding education from your physical lessons or here on the tube provided to you for free by a good guy with a talent for making stuff easy to understand and memorable? Respect to the creator.

[@mariecocker8992]

Feeling quite lucky to be in New Zealand. My mechanical engineering course was 100% free due to a push in trades after COVID-19 and my tutors are very caring and helpful. Mix of beginners and advanced as well with a great age range (youngest in class being 17, oldest being about 55) and on top of all that they help us to get an apprenticeship in an area of engineering of our choice at the end of the course and there is no short supply of those in NZ, especially for us females lol.

[@infamousnova]

I plan in doing that as of now! How did it go? Still welding?

[@devinbalasi7296]

I've been intimidated by welding and no video could help me understand the settings until this video! thanks a bunch bro

[@jewishman2687]

Thanks. Had a MIG welder in my garage for four years, now I have the basic knowledge on how to use it. So starting tomorrow practice practice practice. Thanks

[@dangenovese8905]

Ha ha! Same! About 3 years for me. I unboxed it when I first bought it and fed some wire through then put it away.

[@irishlad8797]

A very informative video for someone who hasn’t used a mig welder before like me. Explains how the controls on the welder unit affect the weld. Very good

[@iainharrison6675]

Great analogy, very informative and dead-pan humour, at the same time .

[@Dikka0]

Man I love the sausage frying pan explanation, I've just discovered your channel via your 100E build & love your work and enthusiasm.

[@johnashcraft2724]

Good analogies and taught in a way that makes sense to me. Outstanding! Thank you.

[@joannebutler5759]

I think this video is the best one I have watched up to now and sausage and pan analysis has given me the best way to understand it.. thank you

[@davidseguin638]

Thanks for the video! I’ve been looking at videos like this for a while now. The sausage velocity and heat of the frying pan really makes sense to me! Thank you!!!

[@Urchfab]

If you can master the sausage velocity you will win at life! Cheers

[@felicepassaseo9954]

David Seguin ......yes now we want to eat ,,,,,,,,

[@theguitargamer3372]

Been welding for about 4 months, thankfully most of what I've welded has been dirty and rusted so I can weld clean metal like a boss. Great video btw

[@tinkertime7165]

My wife keeps asking me why I wear a welding helmet when cooking breakfast.

[@johnnieveight4925]

lol

[@MadeInGreatBritain]

I wear mine when I’m feeding the sausage in

[@mikesharp4033]

Thank you. I had to do some repair welding after a 10 year lay-off. Your guidance was excellent and brought back all I had forgotten.

[@glennfelpel9785]

You are an outstanding teacher, very well done indeed. Thank you

[@gailpengelly8581]

COMPLETELY AGREE. Epic job. 🤟🏼❤️

[@PeterFinch]

Urchfab is a guru teacher, "bacon and heat ....." makes it so clear. Thanks

[@sataneatcheese6243]

If someone had explained it to me describing everything as food then I think all of what I was taught at college may have stuck a bit better.SAUSAGE VELOCITY!!!

[@Urchfab]

Its all about the sausage!

[@flir67man84]

It's all about how fast u shoving your sausage into her.... brilliant!!!!

[@surveysays8335]

Sausage Velocity is a very important issue now. We need a Sausage Velocity Awareness Month.

[@mikelavigne5085]

Knob... : )

[@youtubestolemyhandle1]

If I turn down my sausage velocity, I could have less children.

[@sharonbrown1998]

Watching you tube during covid, I like your description of the weld being a sausage. I’ve always been unsure of welders, not anymore. Thanks.

[@jonathonhobbs6676]

"Sausage velocity knob" Never calling it anything else.

[@ricklord7144]

Down to earth easy to understand instruction! Perfectly done! And so is the sausage!!!

[@repairfreak]

You did a decent job explaining how the find the sweet spot using the two controls, “voltage and wire-speed.” Your Sausage analogy was hilarious 😂. I’m hungry now for some breakfast sausage links with maple syrup, yum!! 👍

[@goatie1822]

The frying pan and the sausage was a great way of explaining the basics of welding

[@bryanlatimer-davies1222]

When using thin sharp metal with jagged edges avoid adding red sauce from finger

[@justinc9777]

Came here for the anecdotes, stayed for the sausage 😂. This was truly the best and easiest to grasp explanation i have come across, great work mate!

[@ryansarath1319]

Weirdly enough I've just been frying sausages and they where popping like crazy, 2 of them split right open so now I'm off to buy a mig welder, see if that doesn't get me a better sarney

[@richardsmart2255]

I was thinking of ways to explain to my friend how to use my everlast mig welder and I found it very hard. Thank you for providing this video. It makes my job so much easier.

[@Urchfab]

No problem, Cheers.

[@TheBikerDodge]

Had to give it a like for the "Sausage Velocity Knob"

[@anthonyscott16]

I think I finally understand what signs to look for in this confusing weld jungle. Thanks man.

[@cameronstevenson5894]

You explained this well I’d try this now confidently

[@acgolem]

Very good. I just upgraded from an arc to a mig. Didn't do any practice or trial with settings, just jumpped straight in. Made a hell of a mess but now know what I did wrong. Hot enough but way too slow on the wire speed. Will actually have a practice on some scrap now and get a nice bead going.

[@peterbradley6202]

my first ever welding vid. great stuff. subscribed!

[@kimberlycooksley]

I was very sceptical, talking about frying pans and sausage and the monotone delivery. But it was very good, thanks. Confirmed what I thought I was doing wrong today.

[@danc3831]

I am a product of the 60's when we would get burnt on are regular basis and I am not talking about welding. This dude would fit right in on our corner. Whoa.......

[@InTheFaceMan]

Your analogies and comparisons really help make sense of a lot of things unclear to a rookie like me about welding and voltages and beads etc.. i am self learning and using the university of KZbin and forums for lots of advice and tips. You explained things in a way I understand and can relate and compare to. Subscribing now and I hope there are more videos like this to get me past the beginning stages of learning to weld. Thanks again for the video!

[@oldgregsdiecast]

Great way to explain it as sausage in a frying pan, definitely a super helpful video, thanks!

[@telcontara177]

This video explained some of the many, many things I'm uncertain about before starting my first welding project. I feel a lot more confident about recognizing good or bad in my work now, so thank you! As for the consistent sausage metaphors, I bring this from elsewhere on youtube: Five out of fiiiiive! Bup-bup-bup, BOP-BOP.

[@jvcantrell]

Great video, made it all clear. Basically, if you’ve gotten to the balls, pull back on the sausage.

[@rickwilliam4001]

I honestly never subscribe or like anything, but starting to learn this stuff with mates and I'm very glad I stayed even though the first part of the video made me feel like it was all about food hahaha. As people below have mentioned, great teacher, the analogies do help. VERY informative, much appreciated.

[@hpt08]

I was wondering where this was going at the start, but turned out to be a decent bit of knowledge. Thanks Sausage! 😀

[@StevePhillips]

Nice beginner lesson thank you. I have not tried welding since about 1978 when I worked in factory in Wales making car parts. he steel erector give me a try with welder them days. I would have liked to continue but I was needed on spot welders instead.

[@RealKosher]

Never thought of using a mig to cook my breakfast! Jokes aside fantastic explanation

[@avidsledder]

I wasn’t sure about the cooking thing to start with but now it makes perfect sense. I understand the problems I’ve been having and how to fix them now. Thank you so very much. Looks like I’ll have some beautiful cooked Bangerz from now on

[@johnjacob688]

Wife walked in and with real enthusiasm asked me if I was watching a cooking video.

[@jasabasenara8124]

Pmsl. Brilliant.

[@rayflores1105]

Very well explained. For a never-before welding guy this is pretty good basic stuff. I'm signed up for classes but this puts something in front of me. THANX!!!

[@DIY-DaddyO]

Brilliant description man, thanks. I've always seen welding as a dark art, like witchcraft, but now I want to give it a go. Cheers.

[@robinhoodtotherescue6801]

Thanks, that helped me understand me understand how to adjust the machine to get a proper weld! I’m looking forward to my next MiG welding day in the garage to try out what i just learned!

[@KrisDebell]

sausage velocity knob... haha they didn't teach me that at college

[@theodorebowers9737]

Best beginner video I've seen yet thanks from the USA

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Helped heaps thanks! My sausage looks awesome now :)

[@jimcook3448]

Once I got past the surreal all-day breakfast, this becomes a very good informative video. Well done and thanks

[@thechaptermaster]

I laughed harder than I should have at 4:55 - Sausage Velocity Knob

[@cartousse]

Great points for an experienced chef taking up mig welding! Very informative, thanks.

[@buxvan]

It's the Ali G init ! I'm trying to learn mig & wish I was as good as you.

[@darkstatehk]

As a beginner, I was able to control my sausage velocity after watching this video, thanks!

[@mergrew0110]

Sorry mate, no way am I feeding my sausage into frying pan!!!

[@paulwalker7432]

All jokes aside ,you have helped me a great deal. I have a welding job interview today, this will get me through. thanks

[@92xl]

This is exactly why I use a custard core sausage, MIG welding is very difficult and usually ends up leaving the tip of my sausage burned.

[@tpitman]

"Sausage speed"????? That might be the wurst. I'm just started with a mig welder, have watched more than a few videos on KZbin, but I think I learned more from this one by your showing the differences in wire speed settings. Thanks for sharing. (Now off to the kitchen. For some reason I'm famished . . . . .)

[@nugletstudios]

I always try to put my sausage in slow... ...Strong analogy!

[@Urchfab]

life is all about how you feed the sausage!

[@piritutaki5444]

So he's telling me I've got too much sausage then & not enough pan

[@Waterlego]

Big help!! Wire was burning back into the torch today. Now I know why! More sausage required

[@liamflaherty7664]

SAUSAGE VELOCITY KNOB! This is amazing thanks for a jokes yet informative video

[@Absentave]

Great job breaking it down in a very simple understandable way. I have never welded before but by the end I was predicting the correct settings before you got to them. Next video should be you cooking sausage using a welder, those are the settings we are all really dying to know!

[@samrichmond9709]

Johnny Depp as Jack sparrow the pirate welder

[@northzero2390]

ali G

[@tk_clips3578]

I’ve always went with the sound of bacon but I can honestly say your frying pan analogy (as funny as it is) definitely helps ! Thanks

[@helluvatractor]

Nice informative video for a complete welding newbie like myself..... much better than overexcited yanks.... Jesus ....

[@saltifish]

Really good explanation and well demonstrated.. learnt more from this video than any of the others.

[@TheKinGJux]

Imagine this guy teaching a sex ed class.

[@davidmg1925]

popping and banging

[@johngillespie7336]

Very good presentation. Good explanations, and it was great to see actual examples of wrong and rights. Thank you. I learnt a lot.

[@asgeiryn]

Hahaha. Sausage velocity knob. Try to use that in a different sentence. You've earned a like!

[@206898195311]

'Sausage velocity' isn't something i thought i'd hear today, but it make perfect sense. Thanks.

[@Sas_HeatherC]

He had me at bacon. Kept thinking about bacon while hearing sausage

[@MrHBSoftware]

my dad being a professional arc welder for quite some time in the past, welding beams and structures sometimes upside down and other tricky stuff he always says that even a blind man can mig weld....and its very true...so true that here we dont call it MIG but instead it's called "semi-automatic welding"...but millenial professional welders can be so pedantic about what they do they can make a 2 hours video talking about wire types, gas, welders, tips, analyzing a weld bead like if they are in a laboratory etc etc and not cover any of the essentials.. this looks like great down to earth tips for those common people who actualy just want to weld stuff to eachother. if you are a quick learner just grab a cheap flux core welder and a roll of wire,a cheap self darkening mask and some shit to weld and start to play with the settings...after 1kg of wire you have your masters degree on mig. as simple as that. remember even a blind man can mig weld

[@AndrewLale]

Speaking of pedantic, your comment is.

[@MrHBSoftware]

@@AndrewLale you must be one of those "welders" who can only weld sitting on a table and after one our of preparation. good luck in the field dude

[@insanebilly]

I had to go and have something to eat after the start.

[@RickRose]

That was both useful and entertaining. I've yet to get my sausage right, but I've got confidence for another go. Thanks for sharing.

[@tomfoolery40]

God dammit I was laughing at the start of this you are fucking funny my friend. Wonderful video, thank you for taking the time.

[@Urchfab]

no problem, glad you liked it. Cheers

[@gammon1183]

I'm sitting in the garden having a toke and beer learning that mig welding is like cooking sausages. Hold my beer. Subscribed 😎

[@NorfolkCycleWorkshop]

Thats my main problem.. I feed the sausage in way to slow..

[@jakemeyer8188]

From this day forth, I will always refer to the wire speed knob as the sausage velocity knob. Perfection.

[@marieedward6900]

Excellent vid - thank you

[@artderamo8053]

Loved the way you explained it. I start welding tomorrow. Time to cook some sausage!!! Lol thanks!!!!

[@WT0311]

"Sausage velocity"... if you find my sides, please let me know!!!

[@dieseltu1035]

Your analagy is on .I was a 6 G welder long ago ,and needed to find a welding job. And the new boss wants to see some welds . But I forgot a lot .and I mostly stick welded. Thank you .

[@Glendram]

Thank you for a really well explained demo, very easy to follow.... i hope i get better results now :-) Sausage Sizzle ?? Cheers

[@judeb2127]

Nice demonstration and explanation of how the settings affect the weld - only downside is now I'm hungry!

[@jonathancolling2284]

Brilliant video though for me as a beginner - joking aside

[@SecondSonWoodworks]

This is a super informative video and love the relating to cooking! Thanks for sharing!

[@kevinfrmkdz]

You had me at bacon

[@noelheffernan4417]

SlammedHemi 😂😂😂

[@realbudgiesmugglertwohatsb2611]

I didn't watch this coz i already fucked up my project but just wish i seen this earlier lm a dummy as far as heaps of things go so wanted to say goodonya for the grassroots lesson very important to have some understanding nice one mate

[@flir67man84]

awesome video!! Comparing to food.. sausage velocity

[@davidbrandt6925]

Awesome video thank you! Started factory welding bridge matts at 18 yrs old in 1978. Mig welding!

[@PtrJns]

...i'm hungry now

[@bobwickham6631]

Brilliant explanation. Just perfect for beginners like me. Obviously I need to play with my sausage velocity knob

[@benpasquale6353]

is this a cooking show? sounds like ready steady cook

[@125brat]

It's cleared up which setting does what, now I need to go and try it out. Very clear and informative for a DIY welder to understand. Thanks.

[@gunchief0811]

When I've MIG welded I've noticed the technique or the angle and the direction and the voltage and the wire feed speed all.matter...

[@nonken]

Came for the Mig advice, left with a better understanding of adjusting the depth and speed of my sausage.

[@sgoldens24]

Next should TIG Settings for Dummies ..........

[@policedog4030]

Urchfab is definitely the top dog at MIG; but Steve gets my vote for TIG (at Pithy Bikes) - though he would be the last to claim it: kzbin.info/door/qQaFLkweCgviyj_E0VEy9Q
