My instructor tells me to chicken wing your elbow as you’re coming up the side and especially going up over the top. You gotta get your elbow up in the air so you can keep your rod angled properly. Also angle your rod pointing down in the stinger helps too. Once I figured that out I started getting some nice fill passes. You basically always want to keep your weld pool trailing just behind with that oval or circular shape. If you don’t see that shape then you know you’re probably not angling the rod properly. I always like to do some dry runs so I can watch how my arms and rod are positioned before I strike my arc that way when I’m welding I just think about how my arms were positioned when I was doing my dry run. This helps me personally. Before I would “get lost” as I’m welding. Once I strike the arc and it goes dark I start to lose my spacial awareness it seems. So by practicing it beforehand while the lights are still on helps me to visualize where I’m at on the pipe when everything is dark. Since using this method I’m starting to be more confident which shows in the quality of my welds.

interesting, I don't move my elbow much at all on tig. Had an instructor once that would come by and hold your elbow still if he saw you chicken wing. Trying to train you to only use your wrist. I've seen guys make beautiful welds either way.

Thank you for the knowledge. Sending you Positive vibes from Orlando

[@TherealMandingo]

No you don't have to that's definitely on stick and mig Tig you can sit there and melt it in. I never do and haven't had one fail from tacks

[@CloveHitchCory]

dude takes the torch off the part super fast 🤣 4:48 5:43 8:43 9:50 No post flow needed

Thank you for your video. Have a good one bro.

[@zoozolplexOne]

hi mate, cool demo !!! thanks for sharing

[@brianbeaubien7371]

Great video thank you

[@samuelandrew3517]

Nice one 👍...please what Amp did u use on ur rooting

[@theweldingbeaver8261]

90-110

[@nokuthulangcephuko]

My problem is I'm loosing balance with my torch tell me the best way to hold it..

[@TheDjnacer]

good job

[@kxrch2108]

Thanx friend

[@420International]

What were your settings ?

[@Cjz_backup]

He did say 115-125

[@caloybitangcor7495]

Thanks

[@williebateman3613]

Bad azz bro thanks 🙏 love

[@sergiogomez8265]

Can the dude not run 7018?? Why not show him weld the Lohy??

[@hotboyej13]

This guy can not weld 😂 should not be an instructor at all

[@tjaydagreat]

@@hotboyej13 he isnt an instructor. He sits in an office all day. He is the training director. I used to see him everyday and never seen him weld until I seen these videos. Eric, Jon, Chris, Mr. Freddie and Zach were the instructors that taught me how to tig. Jack is pretty cool though.

[@sz7564]

with what Amp of the first pass?

[@zachtaylor7369]

he welded the root at 115 and the hot pass at 125

[@sanatanpradhan6523]

Nice

[@carlossalazarjr9506]

What kind of coupons and thickness

[@snowkracker]

How do I get more build up on the inside of the pipe for root pass? What amps are you at for root?

[@that_guy89x89]

Push your rod in a bit more

[@TherealMandingo]

Or put less land and only do a very small weave running up the wall causes suck back also higher amps run hot move quick I get about 1.6 to 2 mm on the bottom of my reinforcement

[@TherealMandingo]

Also check your bravely lack of bevel or to much bevel will cause problems

[@porterporter5506]

Keep your tungsten just between the edges of your bevel, and get a good feel for pushing and always read the puddle

[@porterporter5506]

70 Amp on 2". But I'm sure 6" is more forgiving because of heat displayed and also rod and tungsten angle. You have to adjust much faster

Brasil glória a Deus

[@sanatanpradhan6523]

Super

[@blake8120]

Makes it look so fuckin easy lol

[@tomrox8921]

what wire size did you use for root and hot? thank you

[@theweldingbeaver8261]

Looks like 1/8 to me, no way to tell off video tho

[@WeldersIncLlc]

Good videos

[@mikeymoney8676]

What heat did you run your root pass at?

[@ryanmcguinness7898]

I never understand why they go through so much effort in these videos yet forget to tell you what Amps they use hahaha still a good video tho lol

[@mikeymoney8676]

@@ryanmcguinness7898 for reals i can see the technique i can see the machine i like the other info temp gap size rod things like that

[@Rubenen]

@@ryanmcguinness7898 cuz it’s all about preference for the root I do about 100-110 and hot pass -fill 145

[@joeyyelle8450]

Why would I want you to show me how to run a root and hot pass only. We all know what the finish product should look like we are coming to you for the steps. I found no information in this video valuable it’s felt more like showing off mediocre welds and information that would be considered common sense to most welders.

[@TragicXE]

Same I’m in Tulsa right now trying to find out how many passes I need for the fill and cap and how much amps I need to use for the stick but I didn’t get any of that let alone at least one demo how to run the bead

[@hackler323]

If you ain’t back feeding you ain’t welding pipe

[@kwent86]

It does take more skill to backfeed, but its much slower than laywire. I wouldn't laywire a 6g pipe this thick, but I know it is possible. So I would say the opposite. You aint weldin pipe when you get run off the job for taking all day on a root while another welder is throwing them in 5 mins.

[@kevin98fut]

@@kwent86 its slower if you dont know how to backfeed, its possible to weld it fast while backfeeding
