I like the yellow path visualization before you actually show the welding path. For a rookie like me, it’s a great visual aid. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Tetracarbon]

Bret Lambky agreed. Somethings are verbally explained in videos but the yellow drawing makes the idea very clear.

Thanks bro. I'm 72. Amateur welder using arc welding. Just purchased a mig. Your vid is excellent. Thanks again.

[@ttman6197]

My school sucks my teachers never went to detail about the distances and the pattern it needs I learn by asking everyone that’s more advance then me taught me a lil a about welding I felt like I’ve been doing all of this on my own but with you I feel more complete with the lessons and ways to weld right

[@BigSarnt]

Mr Jody, I would like to thank you personally for your video and experience. I am being trained (so-called train, we're just given scrap and told to weld - but we are on the clock so that's cool) on welding trailers. I wasn't getting the best consistency on my welds so I looked at your videos. They specifically said to push and whip with the wire, but I decided to use your method and pull instead. Instant change. Better control, better consistency, and I know the weld penetrated extremely well. Thanks a lot.

[@j.kino.nutrition]

Was getting frustrated today and then i watched your video and it completely changed the way i do mig. Thank you so much

[@jamariuswhitson9752]

Thank you man I went to a free program for my weld certificate and they treated me with no care and little help so when I show up to these interviews I’m left in a blind spot about a lot of stuff but your whole page on KZbin has been saving me

I've studied welding for a few years now but I never considered how much a proper ground matters with MIG welding. I learned something new today.

the use of your left hand is the best I have ever seen, gives total control.

[@MrNKenn]

Thank you for making this! I attended welding school during high school, welded a few year and learned CNC (Mill). This brought EVERYTHING back! Thank you for helping people out here!

[@larrykent196]

Just a rookie here, sure like what I see. Practice is the key and I like you style of explaining the process with importance of good penetration over looks

[@jrcll7856]

i never stop learning watching and listening to your videos

[@MN-co3um]

Jody now even my kids know you :)). What they don't know is how I came across you back in 2011 when I was struggling with purging some 16" stainless pipe for Harrods in London. with your tips and tricks I did a good job and bought a nice little car with that money :). Also learned from you how to do a vertical fillet MMa ... I should make in one day a list on how many things I learned from you . Basically that job started me off on deep sea, high pressure projects. So thanks a lot for teaching me how to make loads of money. Keep up the great work you do. God Bless you and your family.

You are maybe the only professional that I have ever heard say that you get more penetration pulling mig. And I totally agree!!!

Hello from the Tajikistan 🇹🇯🇹🇯🇹🇯🇹🇯🇹🇯

[@Soldaduragal]

To me you are the best youtube teacher welder. My welding students are crazy with your videos, even without understanding english, they use the automatic subtitled translator and It help them a lot. Your quality videos are improving since I become your fan long time ago. I think that you could increase your worlwide audience by adding some kind of overlap information in scientific notation(1/8"---3.2mm). The AWS Welding Handbook recomends to use scientific notation as a means of share knowledge arround the world. God job teacher!

[@michaelanderson7182]

I liked the fact of all the good information he gave it was clear and to the point as it should be

[@michaelanderson7182]

Nice job thanks for your advice and teaching you help us to improve in mig

[@hellersonracingengines5792]

I generally use the “v” technique for downhill, great penetration and clean controlled edges. I used to weld 11 gauge downhill mostly 12” at a time non structural so id play with settings and just make it pretty. Roughly 18 volts with a slower feed rate, never disappointed.

[@ManCrafting]

Love the video on this. The close up of the puddle and the graphic showing the pattern. Makes it very clear what is happening. You going to WBC this year?

[@jarredspillman3059]

Love the videos! As well as the podcast! Could you possibly do a video on inner shield 233 wire. A lot of ironworkers struggle getting certified on this wire. And that’s the test that will certify all of our members on all flux core wire. Which is a the majority of all structural welds. I know hundreds of people I’ve met out in the field that watch your videos. It would help a lot of our members get more information on the wire. And welding with a drag angle on a verticals which is so strange lol. Thanks for the videos! Keep up the good work!

[@نجمالسماء-ع8ر]

Hello, I thank you very much for this valuable information in the field of welding and thank you again for drawing the graphic lines that illustrate the way the wire moves. I hope that there will be a translation into Arabic so that I understand what it says and learn from you more experience😘😘😘

Excellent Video on MIG/MAG Welding. Good Presentations. Keep up the good work.

[@ericmann1506]

On the vertical up hill weld did you turn the setting down to the next welding thickness and go 10% less wire feed speed or just turn to the next lowest?

[@chrisgreer5181]

Thanks for showing how to weld according to the chart. Tough stuff right there. Me and my work partner weld all day every day.... it's hilarious how we had a discussion about tip to nozzle end clearance just the other day, him having his flush like you do and mine being about 3/8 distance like it should be... I'm sure there's no correlation between that and his tip getting trashed every other day while mine stays good for about 2 weeks.

C'est un profésionnél j'aime les profésionnél dans leur domaine ❤

[@jonwoody3572]

Jody , by the 2F weld why you go first up forward. (+ 3.04 min ) On the other side of the pond we learn always (I = 30 years ago) first go down forward because you can drag " dirt " under your weld. First down and than up to fill your undercut (banana shape movement ) Same when you weld from left to right you go anti clockwise by circle movement and never clockwise because you can drag " dirt " under your weld (imperfections or silicates ) But like always a good video = Best welding youtube channel

[@leonhough5932]

Welds look really good. Do you lower or raise your wirefeed speed for overhead?

[@justinhall8318]

Usually for overhead, I turn the wirespeed up a bit. Due to the fact that gravity will pull the weld down a little bit making it sag, so the higher wirespeed punches the weld up in the joint and keeps the weld flatter. Also, like he said gun angle is just as if not more important than wirespeed. Too much angle either way also affects the looks and penetration of the bead.

[@leonhough5932]

Ohh gotcha does it do the same for uphill

[@justinhall8318]

@@leonhough5932 Yes, I usually use the same settings for uphill as I do for overhead. You wanna punch into the joint and keep the weld as flat as possible.

[@leonhough5932]

It took me a minute to get the hang of it lol

[@josephmagedanz4070]

Yey thumbs up for a bit of MIG, do like a change from the TIG this and TIG that!! Only because I cant afford a TIG!!!

ifell3 you can buy a Klutch st80i tig welder for around $280 at Northern Tool. Plus $250 for argon bottle,$20 regulator (Amazon) and $10 filler wire. The welder comes with tungsten. It welds good to start you out.

[@ifell3]

@@ethantroy311 They got good duty cycle on them? But my guilty pleasure would be more for aluminium tigging!!

[@ethantroy311]

ifell3 well the st80i is not AC so your stuck with mild steel and stainless. I can’t recall the duty cycle at the moment but it’s never stopped on me so far. I would also like a tig that could do aluminum as well.

[@gtgodbear6320]

I was trained as a repair welder fixing robot errors. I wasn't properly trained or certified. I practiced during break times so it looked like I was a natural when being trained. So they left me to wing it and figure it out on my own. It always passed inspection so I guess I did it right. I had to get a pacemaker so I had to end my welding career. I really wanted to get certified.
