Welding Lesson 01: Flux Core Welder Tips and Tricks

[@LouisBarry-wc4qv]

Best welding training series I have seen on the Web.

[@anthonyherrera8600]

Awesome. My son, 14 yrs old, and I have taken on welding as a bonding project. We have been watching a lot of YT videos. Thanks for all the info.

[@Alex-et1bb]

Turning on notifications you have the best tips out there

[@splitarrow1]

I’ve started watching your videos to help learn to weld for an upcoming project where I want to build my own square drop camper from the ground up!

[@keithFecht]

Good Morning, I'm a beginner welder and enjoy your videos, i like that your a straight shooter and cut no corners , I've been trying your techniques out and they seem to work for me. I own a Harbor Freight 125 flux core welder that i picked up really cheap then watched your video on it (it did make me feel a little better about it) i do know good tools help with your quality of the work but being a beginner i didn't want to spend a lot till i knew if i going to stay with it. But anyway i love welding and please continue to post videos. Thank You Keith--

[@keithFecht]

Good Morning, if i won your welder giveaway i start by building my own welding table, Thank you. Keith--

[@BP77BM]

I would love a new multi process welder. Thanks for passing it on!

[@bmbc6391]

I would love to build a go kart. That welder would be perfect. Thanks for the info!

[@Butch-fn2xr]

You really put out some good information

[@Louis-op4zj]

This bloke sounds just like the project farm fella.

[@-DIYPRO-]

Project farm is awesome so I guess I'll take that as a compliment!

[@joefarmer4238]

You're not wrong 😅

[@mobiletj4850]

Need it for a few projects

[@VaughnHuffman]

You had some great beginner tips....like lifting the corners and lower the settings on the thinner corners.

[@Gary-fn4ui]

Great video! I'm a millwright apprentice and if I had that welder I would use it build a whole new shop!

[@flacobaracus5935]

Slowly learning by doing simple projects around the house. Currently working on a modification to Dad's tablesaw by adding a router table and plan on making a firewood storage rack. Your videos are great for the novice-keep them coming!

[@wojo1034]

Just getting into welding and love your channel. Birthday is in April and looking for a multi processor. Love the lessons! Thank you for all you do!

[@fredclark4033]

Some great tips on using Flux core wire. I do mostly repairs, so I run into many different types of metal and thickness. When welding only a few times a year it's hard to get proficient.

[@-DIYPRO-]

Congrats to wyominerjoe for winning the welder giveaway!!

[@cynthiacaudillo5822]

What happened to our review???

[@ivanortiz1846]

This would be great for those pending gate projects. 🤔

[@brianhowe8896]

Hi great channel with clear unhurried presentation. New to welding but hoping to make a fishing trolley eventually.

[@-DIYPRO-]

What review?

[@mitchelleward6251]

I started welding 6 months ago and your videos have been extremely helpful so thanks for the help.

[@c0t1]

Good tips on starting with joints that don't move as much like the corners on that frame. That's a cool welder - would come in handy for a bunch of projects I need to finish!

[@jacksloan3516]

Wow if I won the welder, I would weld, yea that's what I would do, weld. Definitely looks like it would be an upgrade from my Titanium Flux 125. I have some projects that I am working on for my Side by Side that that would be a help with. Of course, it could almost go without saying, I would continue to watch all your videos slamming that like button for the wonderful insight you provide, and I would have a new welder to apply all this plethora of knowledge. Was that too much? No seriously I could use the welder, keep up the good work, like your videos.

[@loudelpinto9291]

I started welding a few months ago, I came across your channel and you do a very good job of explaining each step! I've used your suggestions and improved not only my welds but my confidence. Thanks and keep the videos coming!

[@elgkas9928]

Old timer here slowly getting into welding as a hobby. This would be a great intro machine for me to continue to practice and hone my skills. Even if I am not picked, it is very nice of you to give the welder away. Keep up the great content

[@phoneman510]

So many things to learn about welding, your videos are helping me to take the plunge and try to fix my old boat trailer myself. I was looking at a mig welder, but now after watching you weld with a flux core machine, I think it would be perfect as my first welder. I like that your videos are short and to the point and you explain why you do it a certain way. Thanks for sharing your time with us.

[@Cementdog22]

Thanks for the video, I practiced earlier today and after watching your video, I think I know what I was doing wrong.

[@matthewstone2199]

I stumbled across your channel while I was trying to decide which multi-use welder to purchase. You channel is awesome and very helpful!

[@ApKNJ]

Thanks again for these vids. If I win the welder, I'd love to compare it to my current cheap welder and learn how different machines perform,. Then I'd probably donate one to someone else to learn with.

[@davidfrey8361]

I’ll give it shot. I’ve been wanting to get into welding for a long time, but never had the space to work. Now that I finally do have a decent workshop, I’ve really been eager to get a basic setup where I can learn and practice as much as I can. Your videos have been a big inspiration and make these techniques (and the equipment) feel a lot more approachable. Looking forward to more, thanks!!

[@josemasolis]

Awesome job on your channel. I'm a hobbyist and I would like to get started on welding. I'll definitely keep watching your videos for more tips and "how to's", thanks.

[@darrylferguson8353]

Side boxes on my tool box, but this would be great for learning other welding processes. Thank you for doing this. Keep up the great videos.

[@17sgt]

Need to extend my trailer to fit my motorcycle. This would be perfect for my needs. Great video, keep it up

[@bowhunting1013]

Just started welding about 2 months ago , I bought a Lincoln weld pak 125 and I love it , from the first weld I was hooked , keep the videos coming and god bless

[@ctfleming85]

Great tips presented seamlessly, thanks! And thanks for the chance at winning a new welder!

[@eugene5438]

Great video, thanks!

[@SattlerDave]

Your videos are to the point and informative. Nice looking welder giveaway

[@sancheazy]

I just bought a Titanium 125 and am starting to do some small projects for stuff at work. Harbor Freight is great because i can try out new skills without breaking the bank. That multi-process welder would be great for bigger projects.

[@perceptionpressurecleaning9948]

Learning to weld glad I came across your channel!

[@dkdavek2513]

This is the second video of yours I have watched this morning. Great tips. Thanks.

[@anthonyherrera8600]

Any tips or videos on welding expanded metal with FCAW?

[@marcmercado2085]

Currently using titanium 125 flux drum HF. My welds are…. Disappointing and burnt thru 1/8 steel. Major learning curve. Still improving. Always wanted to weld and watched welding videos for over a month before pulling the trigger. It’s definitely skilled labor. I’ll be making deck rails whether or not I get prize. Thanks for the great video!

[@ramblingryan6466]

Just bought an off-road truck - looking forward to welding up some bumpers, rock slides and racks - and just came across your channel looking for welding tips. I think I'll stick around :)

[@Gunner_Smith23]

It’s nice to find someone that makes videos that are actually helpful. Keep it up.

[@samlee5705]

Welding is I wish to do and fear to do too for long time , your videos make it easier to get all things I need and understand how it work, now I start from MIG and TIG to make cargo rack for my Ford F250 truck , thank you!

[@naturaljuicers3676]

first time welder great tip keep them coming the best you tube welder to learn from

[@tylerwoodard1910]

Have watched a bunch of your videos and have learned so much in a short amount of time. Would love to win the welder so that I could build a heavier shop table than I could buy.

[@1larrys]

another awesome teaching video, explained the way it is easy for me to understand, thank you Sir

[@braddiesel1813]

I have been watching your videos for quite sometime now in hopes to get some inspiration to start welding on my own. Thank you so much for taking the time to give us all some great tips and tricks before we blow all of our hard earned money on simple mistakes. I hope to start welding soon!! Just need a welder now.

[@jamesrichardson1901]

Getting ready to do a frame for a small garden trailer, so the info on the order of operations is helpful. Outside corners on mitered joints are a pain. I'll try turning it down.

[@JOEZEP54]

Looking to make a mini yard truck from a couple of lawn tractors. This would be of help. 👍# 44 Stay well, Joe Z

[@robertfoster6445]

I liked that you talked about corner setting needs to be turned down one from suggested setting, I never thought about lowering the setting on corners to avoid burn through. Nice welder, I would use the welder to make my first square box.

[@macEboy]

Thanks for yet another great learning video. I look forward to picking up my welder and starting a few projects like this one. Simple framing would be nice for some industrial-looking photos in our home. Thanks again!

[@alechernandez6143]

I stared watching your videos a few weeks ago and i enjoy them very much, ive been going to college for welding and i have been loving it a lot and i plan on making it my career. Ive leanrd a lot form school and from watching your videos.

[@usmcgunz1066]

Total newbie here. Looking to learn basics of welding. Your videos seem to be a great info especially for a beginner like me. Waiting to hear I'm the winner of the welder in a couple of days. 😁

[@rogerjohnson4998]

Just learned to weld and with your videos, I say I’m getting better. I appreciate the time you take to do these videos. If I had that welder, I would try my luck in stick welding 😅

[@missionman19]

Just started welding. Right now I only have the titanium flux core welder. I just put a 50 amp outlet in my garage in hopes to get a multipurpose unit soon. My first project would be to use some square tubing I have laying around to make a rolling cart for my miter saw. On a side note as a new welder I certainly appreciate the time and effort put into the videos they have helped me immensely.

[@paytonramsay4609]

I just finished a kayak trailer with my Chicago electric and it really boosted my confidence

[@johnnemeth825]

Like the way you are giving great easy to understand lessons

[@AM-ze4hr]

Yet again a well organized and concise presentation. I am surprised how much information you present in just a few minutes. Hope to see more on the various processes.

[@michaelaustin6164]

Great lesson, thank you so much i'm currently in Welding School at Tulsa- Jacksonville.

[@glenkingston9620]

Just picked up a mig welder and having lots of fun. I'll have to give this project a go

[@KE5ZZO]

My high school freshman son started welding classes in high school his 8th grade brother also selected welding for high school. The multi process welder would be a nice item for those 2 to practice on

[@johnathanakers7510]

I’m a newbee, and bought a MOVE bumper ( which I have to weld myself) for my 1996 isuzu trooper since I hit 2 deer 3 weeks ago on my way home from work.. Ya, the deer are out in force here in Washington state.. uugh..😢 So, ya, I’m really loving this channel.. thanx for the knowledge

[@JeffHuggler]

I need to learn how to weld for a job I will be starting soon. I've always wanted to learn how to weld and now I have no excuses. I will be watching a lot of your videos before I go out and buy a welder and everything that goes with it. Thank you for making these videos, I'm sure they will be very helpful.

[@davec2643]

I have to basic Welders titanium 125 and yeswelder 135 that are good starting Welders. Thanks for the videos.

[@dakotamoore3333]

Would love this for projects around the house from smoker build to porch railing!

[@hawkbox]

The timing on your video is fantastic, I'm figuring out a frame to make a step for my dog off our bed as she's getting a bit older and could use the assist. I was going to use 2x4 but this is an excellent excuse for me to practice my metal fabrication. Also, very clear and well put.

[@jordanpatin2736]

Wow you inspire me to try welding with your videos. Very informative and useful. I am thinking about getting a welder to beef up the Lowes utility trailer that I bought.

[@Ramurzua19]

Just started welding at work traveling but would be a lot of help if I could practice at home with all your videos I see! Appreciate all your tips and time you give!

[@lucbegin7334]

Loving your channel and this single video provides me all of the examples needed to make two speaker stands! Keep it coming!

[@mariodesmo]

I'm learning to weld and your videos are helping a lot. That welder would be perfect for fabricating/welding a cart for the welder! Thanks!

[@scottjune3554]

I love the fact that you're giving this welder away congrats to the recipient

[@thecook]

I have never welded but find the process of metal working fascinating and practical. Would love to dip my toe in learning the art. Thank you for your entertaining and easy to follow videos! Cheers 🍺

[@bradwinter156]

I just found your channel from the 2 tips video and explored your other videos. I liked what I saw. So as everyone says " I liked and subscribed and left a comment." To help your channel grow. The added bonus of winning that rad welder is a nice return, but highly unlikely because I am the most unlucky person in the world. If the universe had an aneurysm and I won the welding setup l would ( after a bunch of practice) use it to finish my 3 wheeler conversion to a fat tire 2 wheel motorcycle .

[@TOMALLENJR]

I love your explanations! Hands Down!! If I had this MYWELD Welder I would be turning my MB200 into my 1st CrossKart!✌️

[@ericbowers7750]

Thank you for the informative videos! They have been a BIG help in getting me started with welding. If I won this welder, I would use it on the farm with my portable generator for repairing all kinds of things from fences to farm equipment. Thank you for the informative videos

[@pavlodrebit7157]

I've tried a bit of stick welding and really enjoyed the process, but after watching your videos, and how easy it looks when you do it, I am now considering flux core. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in such an easy to understand way!💥

[@douglasmcleish7355]

I like your approach to teaching! I am working on my vintage motorcycles. Thanks

[@dankoehler4119]

Great imfo!Good tips !Just started a year ago and your tips have helped. Thanks

[@troysullivan7826]

I am new to welding and really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work...

[@fermontalvo-gr3ek]

Thank you! Really nice video, now I want to try to make some projects with the square tubing around my house. Those lights fixtures are nice. Thanks for the welding tricks.

[@johnkrebs9357]

Just found this channel and this video was very helpful. I'm hoping to get into some welding projects this year. Thank you.

[@dearyayres8583]

Thanks for the great tips. I’m learning to weld and your videos have been priceless! I truly appreciate everything you do!

[@jgoodwin193]

If I won this I would make some railing for my stairs! Been wanting to pick up welding for a while now and your videos make me feel like I can actually do it!!

[@jgoodwin193]

I’ve been a big fan of your videos for a while now, and your channel really inspired me to want to start welding! I would love to win that welder so I can build some stair railings!!

[@jonathandeily3909]

I just started welding a few weeks ago. I've borrowed a welder from my uncle, however I would love to have a multipurpose welder like the one you are giving away. I've been watching a tons of your videos and I am subscribed. Super helpful. Thank you!

[@gb123-ej8wh]

Chop saw is best. Can get the 6” pretty cheap at harbor freight. If you need bigger occasionally get a big chop saw or use a grinder and cut off wheel. Simple stuff. If you frequently are building something that isn’t practical to cut with a small chop saw or angle grinder then you need to spend the cash on a large chop saw or a low end plasma cutter.

[@jeremygonzalez8464]

By far one of the best at explaining how to use different techniques and styles of welding. Helped me get started.

[@jjbruno49]

Been watching your videos and learning a lot. I think I'm going to try and build my own welding table. keep the videos coming!

[@markparren8697]

Very informative, I hope to get where my welds look as good as yours.

[@floppyebrokent8578]

Outstanding job! Thank you for the great video!

[@Microarmor007]

Perfect video for my first project. I'm an newbie and am learning through watching videos such as this. I want to make several Steel trellises for vines to grow on at home. A local shop sells them for $250 and up each. Heck, I can do this myself! I want about 10 trellises in total and plan to use square tube for the outside frame and cattle fence for the interior lattice. Thanks!

[@joeyw4442]

Awesome channel. I've learned so much from your videos. I appreciate you taking the time to explain things so well. I'm just a beginner and look forward to becoming better through practice. Your videos have expidited that process.

[@inventor226]

Getting into welding, thank you for the tips

[@X19-x5f]

Wow! Lot's of great info for the beginner in this video. Watching this has convinced me to get a welder and start building. Thanks!

[@gcnphilly]

Really enjoying your content. Learning a ton before I jump into my first welding project. Hope to make a kayak trailer for the summer. Welding would allow me to reinforce a light trailer that I recently acquired!

[@edstenson7764]

Looks good for my camper frame build.

[@chazgregrrr404]

👍👍 ❤ your videos

[@deadalusvariations]

I admit I've done the inside fillet welds first, but what you say makes sense about them pulling together when they cool down. I'll start doing those last.

[@Drunk_Friar]

Great video. I would use the welder to fix my trailer. Cheers!

[@mconner902]

I started out teaching myself how to weld on a stick machine but recently picked up a flux welder because it a little more handy to take along and the tips you provide are very helpful in learning how to flux welder better

[@wyominerjoe]

Thanks for the tips. I have a couple of projects in mind. A panel on my chipper has cracked that I want to fix, and I just picked up a crescent wrench at an estate sale and found that the traveling jaw is cracked. Would like to attempt a repair on that, but not my first project. Maybe you could do a video on that kind of repair.

[@chucks4328]

My first project would be actually learning how to weld! Harbor Freight sold out on the one I had my eye on when it went on sale.
