Jody, I have been using your videos for almost 20 years now! I taught at Hartford Area Career and Technology Center I Vermont for 15 years. There is no other welding video series that compares with your content. Your use of voice-over and your expertise in videoing the weld is unmatched! I retired for 6 months and have now been teaching at Dartmouth College Thayer school of Engineering. I'm still recommending your videos as the gold standard. Wish you well in this endeavor.

[@warrenjones744]

@imwtech HAC&TC That's a good school. I live down the road in NH and know about it and have heard good things from graduates of various types. Dartmouth isn't a horrible school either😁 Cheers Keep up the teaching as long as you can. Those kids need all the help they can get.

[@philthyphil3324]

I had one year in a pipefitter apprenticeship before my company ended the apprenticeship program. I kept learning welding on my own, and with the help of your videos, and a whole lot of practice time, the same company ended up hiring me on as a journeyman pipefitter/welder. Thank you Jody, you are helping a lot of people.

[@Atupas]

This is the summary of what you have been teaching me on stick welding for over 4 years.

[@eoghanfla6343]

Ah Jody I've watched so many of your videos and you inspired me to go to night college, get my certs and start a very small fabrication business in Ireland. Thank you for all you have done, I don't think you realise what influence you have had worldwide.

[@kirstenspencer3630]

At 1:45, best advice ever " fresh out of box or ROD OVEN ". I tensel tested some 7018 left out for a couple of days. The trapped moisture reduced the tensile strength dramatically. As moisture EXPANDS over 1860 times as it turns to steam / vapor in the puddle making arc control impossible. Great video as usual Jody.

[@j.v.plogan.9546]

Had to weld a 1/4 plate this week, and it's been awhile since i picked up a rod. Used your videos for a quick refresher .. Everyone was surprised how good it turned out with 7018.. I kinda was, too. Lol.. thanks for your videos..

[@ypaulbrown]

Dear Jody, as I have written many times before, you are the 'Man' when it come to welding videos with the best content......cheers from Orlando, Paul

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

@@ypaulbrown thanks Paul

[@ea4326]

Much appreciated! I just started welding school and I watch you videos in between pauses when I get stuck in any particular problem. Really great stuff! Thanks!

[@badjeepman]

I teach at community college, your videos are always on the big screen and I encourage the students to watch your videos. I really helps when I can blow up the videos real big and slow them down so I can show them the importance of what going on at the end of the rod and what is happening

[@chenzitong1]

I second @badjeepman, but i didn't teach at a college. I had a small factory for welding, machining and minor assembly. The guys with me usually only knew mig, and with a bit of guidance and your videos, they could tig with the best of us. Really appreciate your work 🎉

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great information and instructions Jody. I'll use this video again when I get some welding time in before long. I'm still learning the hard way. I'm 79 and trying, my wife agrees she says I'm VERY TRYING whatever that means. LOL . Stay safe, Fred.

[@ypaulbrown]

old dawg, not that is a funny comment your wife made, I am saving that to my Dad Joke file.....cheers from Orlando, Paul.....the old ham, and one that cant be cured.......

[@gonzaloacampbellg]

Best teacher, Best explanations, Best videos to explain. Resuming...You are A monster. Thanks for sharing.

[@sportsfan12ast]

Great info Jody. I went through welding school and did many welding courses here in Spain. I did the very same practice samples through those years and that's how I teach friends or work colleagues that want to begin welding. The only difference is we use the 6013 rods in schools and courses but that's because they're cheaper. Another difference I see between welds here and over there in the States is, unless job's don't specifically ask for stringer passes, it's all done with weaving passes. Your explanations and videos are the best. 👍🏻

[@BIGHANDS-444]

I am currently in a welding program and trying to get my degree. It would be beneficial if you could create more instructional videos geared toward students like myself. I have been following you for over five years now, and it would be a travesty if all your knowledge were lost. If you made more videos like this one in TIG, STICK, and MIG, aspiring welders like myself would be forever in your debt.

[@44hawk28]

I prefer to use 7014, I find it is much more forgiving for position work. There is a reason why it's the only ride allowed in nuclear plants that I'm aware of, at least at one time that was so. I'll find your average recommendation a little bit on the high side just for running bead. 7014 for differential metals like stainless to Black Iron. 7018 most of my welding was done vertical uphill. Repairing the top of sea furnace at Ford Rouge at 287 ft in the air on a 10 inch wide board. That'll make sure you learn how to put decent welds down. One of the reasons I was taught to put a root pass down with no backer. You got to be handy at that stuff. Taught you how to be really steady

[@VarvotosVex7122]

I’m really trying to learn but I have a family so financially it’s tough. I bought a new welder. Can’t afford argon tank yet don’t have tungsten or any filler rods and no rods for stick. I really enjoy the little bit of flux MiG welding and appreciate your knowledge. Ty

[@wayner806]

Today I learned from weldingtipsandtricks! Thanks again for your channel.

[@RafaelFelix-s3m]

Tanks for the tips and new equipment and very good welding techniques

[@jamescole2093]

Thank you for all the great advice!

Thanks from Buenos Aires, Argentina

[@1962mrmongoman]

i HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM YOU SIR!! THANK YOU

[@Russell_and_Rosko]

Multi-pass! You're a legend Jody 🇺🇲

[@BuddaSlim]

I’m having problem with 1/8 uphill haven’t welded in 5 yrs have to go back to work

[@juancarlosfochesatto4741]

Excelente ejemplo de un dominio total ,grasias ,

[@boricuaarecibo9259]

Great video your videos help more than you know thank you

[@Anand_sharma77]

Your video very knowledgeable

[@wnewbury4]

Thanks for the excellent video. In 1973 the instructor started us out with 5/32 6010. Was he just trying to cut down the class size by starting with 6010? I remember making big holes.

[@rodneyrtennis1279]

My Dad told me...when I could right my name in cursive...I learned rod speed, temperature and control. After many boxes of rod...I did it👊💥

[@jaydubs679]

I'll have to try that. 7018 specifically?

[@hotironaircraftshop]

You're a good egg, sir!!!

[@RafaelFelix-s3m]

Hello my name Rafael Felix and I a welder and I love to weld 7018 I loved

[@McNeillWelding]

You the man Jody

[@billmoates4544]

Good stuff, thank you for posting.

[@M4BHoward]

I want to become an instructor! I currently hold and AA in welding technology (2 years of stick/mig/tig schooling) and about a year of field experience. Not quite what you'd call an expert, by any means. But my favorite part of school was passing on welding techniques that worked for me to another student who was struggling with the same process I struggled through. For you certified instructors out there, what did the process of getting your certification look like? Is there a "time in field" prior to shooting for certification that ya'll would recommend? I appreciate ya'll's input! Also, Jody, thanks for being such a great instructor, subject matter expert, and down-to-earth blue collar KZbin buddy. Love your videos!

[@preston9412]

Probably different for dedicated welding schools but when I did my classroom teaching certificate one of the things I read about was getting state certified as a trades teacher which required at least 5 years in the field experience plus related trade certifications.

[@kylekramer4235]

Excellent video

[@TCGCARDS14]

Thanks

[@StuartCleek]

Thank you for your great videos and passion for the trade. I would like to discuss a test for our technicians that would cover fabrication skills involving welding cutting and drawing interpretation. Aesthetics only.

[@briancameron8879]

Mig,mig Tig,tig Mig...Tig is the skill set for most all jobs..........

[@kelleypack1000]

Morning watching you weld it looks easy but it ain’t easy. When I get a tight arc I’m snuffing my arc out and sticking the rod. I’d like to video myself welding. I’m going to be using my iPhone to video with. What are you videoing with and what setting to get a good arc shot. I just weld for a hobby and help my neighbor some on pipe fence and metal barns. I also want to video him welding, he’s been welding a long time. He welds everything with 7018 but his welds don’t have ripples , they’re smooth and they look real good and he’s fast. The main thing I’m asking is about my arc being snuffed out when I try to get a tight arc. Thank you

[@АрсенАгаев-й4у]

Спасибо за видео. 👍

[@highlyalloyed9296]

I've toyed with the idea of instructing, maybe as far as getting a CWE

[@RafaelFelix-s3m]

But I like the tips and new equipment in the market and v the different welding machine the Improved the welding machine and very small but good machine

[@Bakanelli]

I have been following the channel for years and it lead my to my acdc TIG hobby… now off topic do u use Finasteride(Propecia) and or Minoxidil? Thanks

[@307mtb]

Jody could you make a video on the best welting helmets for different applications? I've always heard auto darkening isn't great for tig, instead I should use a silver or gold fix shade. Just wonder what your thoughts are on the subject.

[@joaolucio6028]

[@hermantom4292]

Hello im having problem with vertical weld.7018 .1/8 rods. Heat set 120....some under cut capping..?

[@_hector__]

My first ever weld was in 2023 with 3/32 6010 and then straight to oxyacetylene 💀💀

[@samuelperez6895]

Can you please make a 4g TIG welding walkthrough, I have yet to find a good video online.

[@mikehuot-kk8rf]

hello jody i hope you are going to fab tech in Florida mike huot

[@Ca21431]

How long will 7018 last if you keep it in a rod oven? Will it eventually go bad?

[@michaelc9507]

Over cook it with my breakfast 😛

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

a very long time. But after a really long time, flux can become brittle

[@BazisDavid]

Hello I am reaching out to get intouch, I teach a little welding in Montpelier VT. Do you live in NH? I just subscribed to connect. Let me know when you have time to talk David
