Walking the cup is a tig welding technique and its a good one.
Mostly used on pipe but occasionally comes in handy for other jobs too.
If you have ever walked a 55 gallon drum across a shop floor, you understand how it works.
In this video I found some scrap pieces of 303 free machining stainless and chucked then up in a turntable and made a multipass weld walking the cup.
For a total of 7 passes.
I brought you along for the ride and filmed almost every pass.
It is my sincere hope that someone passes a welding test, gets a job, gets a raise, or is better able to support their family as a result of watching this video.

Your the man. I've never needed to walk the cup since I'm not a pipe welder but I'd luv to learn. I use so much of what you done on this channel at work. Helping me become a better welder. Thank you so much for making these videos!

[@ichooselife9033]

The thing I love most is how quickly you get to it, even though you sell your own product you don't take too much time away from the teaching. Much respect, I've learned lots from your videos.

[@Omnihil777]

I'm from germany & I learned SO much from your videos, you really increased my production quality and speed with your tips, especially stainless TIG and (former) difficult angles. A HUGE *THANKS* to you, your content is really important to many people. You *ROCK* !

[@ericlong3792]

Thanks for another very instructive video. Your arc shots are beyond amazing. My walking the cup has came along way because of you thanks.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

thanks , glad to help

Just turned 15 and I’m trying to learn how to weld and your videos have been helping me greatly, thank you.

[@gregwatson5183]

I just graduated welding school and i am very green still. Just started at a local fab shop and I was hired because I know tig your videos have helped me so many times

[@leelotungal819]

I'm in a welding school in scandinavia and they're telling us about Tig fingers etc. Jody you've made it worldwide with this! Good job!

[@ronaldreeves4720]

One of the very few weld videos that don't blind me with a bare arc. Well done. Nice, infomative and correct technic

[@MrCarttbone]

Hello Jody, I just broke out on the pipeline today and wanted to tell you thank you for all the information you have given. You have helped me achieve my goals.

[@sebytro]

I'm interested to learn how to weld, but on basic level. I'm watching these videos of yours and it seems like art. It's so beautiful, it's so evenly shaped and relaxing to look at. Thank you!

[@PANTYEATR1]

thankful for Mr. Jody and his continued service to the ppl

[@ThisOldTony]

nice.

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

thanks Tony, your videos are awesome

[@sledsports]

I'm learning from Tony also

[@АндрейКлименко-к7ы]

@Jim Alley That's funny!

[@3dpyromaniac560]

@Jim Alley you were talking about our uncle bumblefuck weren't you?

[@archmasterone]

@@sledsports Genius, both of them.

[@MrAirbleed]

I'll called you weldhero, you helps many people with these lessons. Huge respect from indonesia

[@williamsavory5274]

Hey Jody! thanks for the videos. You taught me how to tig weld on the internet! I have never done stick or mig but from your videos I have made workshop tables, aluminium boost pipes, stainless exhausts, Jeremy schmidts' grinder. Many projects so thanks again from Northern Ireland!

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

thanks for the good word.

[@michaeldankert1962]

Good Lord, those are some of the finest TIG welds I personally have ever saw. What I wouldn't give for my welds to look that good, fine work sir.

[@curtisjackson3445]

Beautiful demo

[@fliron892]

I just got two of you last week. Man it help so much my hand do not get hot at all.

[@FourMaxK1]

Excellent video! I have only a minor knowledge of welding and have never done any, but this video gave me a great visualation of what truly happens. Thanks.

[@txdocprich_8404]

I absolutely love my Tig finger and the XL. Just welded my bumper with Tig on the outside, 1/8” 7018 on the inside. Tig Finger really keeps the fingers cool. Just don’t touch the Tig finger(on the outside) after using it in a hot spot, don’t ask 🤣

[@jerrychan1471]

Thanks to many of your videos, I now have a TIG machine and genuine TIG finger XL and am ready to rock!

[@droy333]

"shameless plug" ?? Enough of that!! Proud plug for sure mate!! Plug away!

[@lorenwegele7517]

Great video Jody. It's been almost 30 years since I last did tig work, so I'm living vicariously. I can think of lots of times in those years I could have used the tig fingers for other welding applications.

[@briansilver6196]

Iv been a sheet metal worker, fabricator welder, doing mig and tig for 30 years now and I can't weld like you can 👍

[@richmac918]

Damn, those are some beautiful welds. Have never TIG welded but have heard the term "walking the cup" a number of times. Now I know that it is actually walking the torch cup and how to do it.

[@sekoubadoumbouya5947]

The best weld tig

[@gillybiggy]

Just starting to get into tig welding. Love watching your videos wishing to be that good one day

[@velocityacoustics]

You make it look so easy. This is what practice and years of experience are all about. Beautiful welds. Thanks for the videos.

[@simonni4483]

Because of your videos I bought one of those wide base combination squares Thanks man

[@NSW]

Allways fun and educational too watch your content.

[@angelaprater2679]

John here you make it look easy and very good looking weld just outstanding welds.never rig would love to just stick work for me

[@spelunkerd]

What I find amazing about your welds is the consistency. I wonder if anybody has drawn a correlation between handwriting and welding skill.

[@jasonmoffatt9961]

I know that my handwriting improves after a string of days with the tig torch.

[@benlee2765]

My handwriting us unreadable and i can't weld for toffee so i would agree with you.

[@CPI99]

I have horrible handwriting but a great artist. My welding instructor has been teaching for 30+ years and I'm the only to ever get an A+ in his class!👍👍 Hoping to get some work when I graduate.

[@Dejv1704]

I from Poland and i work like tig welder . Yu mister you are my inspiration , perfect welding , esthetics , great job , sory for my bad leanguage . Pozdrawiam Pana :)

[@TB-rd1ow]

Make a video about, why you would adjust the cfh, and how much cfh you would use in different applications. Love the videos!

[@flacko5894]

Tig welding looks so satisfying

[@elimartin5105]

Your as good of a teacher as you are a welder

[@tankatomicmccallum4348]

this kit setup is so badass I purchased one. Perfect for a job site

[@MrGiggy4u]

The good Lord has gifted your hands. Thanks for sharing.

[@dimehigh]

The Lord gave him nothing, he welded, and welded, and welded.

[@GarySmythe]

Man oh man this guy is talented! If I was a young man I'd want to be a super skilled welder like the guy in this video!

[@jacemusgrove3073]

Even tho I've only stick welded and little at that. I appreciate you showing in detail the process and practices. It's very helpful!

[@floridasaltlife]

Sweet, Love seeing a new WTAT video show up...

[@frankbennett8877]

I am not a welder but quality work. Enjoy watching

[@johnhilder1100]

JODIE the king of welding instructions, go Jodie go.

[@RocketMaster2]

I'm not even a welder but this was fascinating to watch and learn. Thanks.

[@perfectox]

You, Sir, have the best arc and puddle shots I have ever seen! Great!

[@vitaliimedelian4643]

I have been watching your lessons for years, I have learned a lot from you. Thank you for your channel.

[@davidjeremiahmullins3548]

Jody..... I LOVE your videos..... I'm learning from EVERY one.... Thank you

[@rjbaby9786]

It's almost time for me to buy a new tig finger. Work in a fab shop and have used it for about a year and it's just now starting to wear out. Great investment!!

[@bishipc117]

I’ve always been curious about how far my stick out should be. In this video you’ve described it it should be roughly the same distance as your cup size. pretty awesome. I’m actually going to give that a shot tomorrow and see how it works. This has been a challenge for me. Thanks for all the tips and help.

[@zandatsu07]

wow Tig welding is so clean

[@roygough5071]

That's a very tidy weld, you make it look so easy.

[@RoudlyJeantinord]

Wow. Welding at it's best. Most beautiful welds have seen

[@johndoe-nh9sh]

Some skills there, fair play my friend.

[@jdbrewer6638]

That's a nice big cup setup👍👍 all the most important cups in the same kit. I'll definitely have to pick one up. Thanks for the video, jody

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

I'll bring you one next time we shoot a video

[@Comp670]

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these vids. They have helped me ALOT in improving my welding skills.

[@blkdog229]

Thank you for another great video! Fantastic arc shots and explanation of the process.

[@mikeschmidt7980]

Nice job Jody

[@jakeduszak7075]

This video did it for me those 2 years ago. Thanks.

[@w4nt3d50]

[@combatmedic1980]

Absolutely beautiful Jody, pretty as a picture !!!!

[@michaelcostello6991]

Great video and good you repeat stuff that we may have forgotten previously. Thanks Michael

[@mitchkronowit3633]

Beautiful welding! I hope in several years, with enough practice, I’ll someday be half as good as you. 👍

[@briansilver6196]

Iv been welding for 30 years ,had plenty of codings and I can't weld as good as he can 😊so good luck

[@sundancesoza2575]

Beautiful job.

[@krazziee2000]

[@rayban5737]

[@sledsports]

Stop! I keep buying stuff at weldmonger! Lol great video as always. I'm gonna buy the DVDs for myself for Christmas. Bought to fire this dynasty 400 up! Thanks again jody. I'm 41 years old. Trying to learn all of this stuff and being proficiently is getting tougher

[@ranchlingger]

Those tig fingers are great, I have both sizes. I tend to open them up and rest my hand on top of them rather then putting them on my fingers.

[@horaciosalinas8145]

Now he can make some source of "tig arm" 😆

[@ChristosChronopoulos]

you are the best Welder

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Very nice demo. Enjoyed.

[@duncanmacleod7210]

Thats not just welding, that's art.

[@gforsyth4]

Awesome video. Got me thinking about taking a Tig Class! Thanks!

[@ifell3]

I love your videos.

[@chrisplayz253]

I've been welding for donkeys years but I still like watching your vids.. the big question is though... when are you and Bob Moffat going to do some collab videos????? :)

[@aafreenikram7862]

I am from India nice welding sir I'm a welder varry good wedding

[@mikekeele1533]

Hi Jody, time is taking its toll and, due to heart problems, i have been told to stay away from magnets and electric welding processes. While i'm only a weekend duffer, it is a part of who i am. i am wondering if there is a Faraday shield jacket out there that would get my cardiologist off my tail. Love all your presentations! Thank you, Mike

[@LuizFernando-pj4rp]

Super nice weld, Jody! Thanks for those walking the cup tips

[@Aint1S]

I just got done getting my LDGL setup together because what I'm doing is just roasting my torch fingers. I chose a long 10 for everything too hot and 6, 8, 10 short LDGL cups for short runs... Stubby gas lens are great for me usually, but man the closeness to the material really unloads the heat onto my fingers. Figured out a way to drop the torch heat itself off almost entirely. Take your GF or maybe your kids silicone hair ties, then wrap the handle of your torch by doubling them up. Nearly free and no hot hands anymore! 😂

[@erikd116]

The best out there giving knowledge on here hands down!..Thank You!

[@АлексейПлотников-ъ5й]

Nice video! 🛠🛠🛠🔩👍

[@khalidalhadidi6402]

Your videos helped me a lot in my project, thank you 🙏🏻 very much, I enjoyed.

[@Mrsecret77641]

Great skill welding

[@STEVE_M439]

That is beautiful to watch

[@bruinflight1]

Darn I wish I knew you had a store sooner; I will be ordering from you in the future!

[@harveystedham9490]

'imitation is the highest form of flattery' that's why there will be tig finger knockoffs! I will have to try one when I get back into welding although being in Australia might make it harder to obtain!

[@qalmirooble3484]

Thanks for your sharing

[@sledsports]

Ohhh by the way. The dual flow meter is great storage for your tig fingers

[@timothysvec8568]

Great video. Thank you. Man, you taught me how to weld!

[@virtualmoyda7221]

Subbed. Great angles.

[@Dmaaaain]

Holy crap that's skill!!
