Weldng the Tube Hurricane Challenge

[@WarpedYT]

What I used to do so the last weld doesn't blow out is heat the whole thing up and then weld the last hole left, as the rest of the assembly is cooling down it creates a very light vacuum. That has been my experience.

[@FredMiller]

Furiously taking notes on rod types on different metals... LOL! Absolutely best ARC shots on the Internet!!! Thanks Jody!!

[@sus1uk]

Merry xmas

[@ToastyCornFlakes]

Jody, I really don't understand how anyone can dislike your videos. They are SO informative and have something to offer for everyone ranging from beginners to experts. Always great to watch your videos and kick my butt back to welding during these cold winter months. Thank you!

good stuff Jody been a pressure pipe welder for 38 yrs did a shit load of tig waaaaaay back spent the better part of my career in the pipeline industry here in canada ....with that said ive always pick up some good tips from you your never to old to learn and it just proves even with all my yrs of experience a guy never knows it all lol ...thanks Jody... oh i was the guy that suggested you trying a sewing thimble on your pinky and let it slide up the pipe when free handing about 30yrs ago an old timer showed me that

You make it look so easy and relaxing. I have trouble keeping the electrode at a constant distance and at a constant speed. Its almost like I need a pen shape handle to make it easier.

[@erikhockman8590]

They make straight torches , so you can use it similar to a pencil.

[@gtxviper]

You'll get better with practice but those CK flex hoses do also make it much easier to keep the torch where you want it.

You’re really fun to watch. Every time I see your videos, I just wanna go make something or at least practice your technique! Thank you for your content!

[@pirobot668beta]

I've had some success sealing tubes/boxes by heating the entire work-piece to 450-550 F, then cooling the thing while welding the seal-hole. Idea is that as the metal is cooling, the gas inside the part will contract and so gas expansion from welding-heat is offset. Gotta balance it, else you end up sucking metal and junk into the part!

[@Kevin_747]

Nice demo. The shape and fit up remind me of the radial aircraft engine exhaust rings I've welded.

[@jrcicirello]

Good stuff Jody. I am new to welding and am learning a lot from your videos. Thank you for your efforts.

[@SomervilleMetalWorks]

Killing it as always Jody. Your tube would be a bit thinner than some of the ones ive seen on instagram. Your chrome moly clip shows how a bit more wall thickness certainly helps in getting that "look"

we also kept good attention to the seam orientation as assembled.

[@jasonsimmons6684]

That wheel in aluminum would be interesting. It'd be awful hard around that center. In the means that a guy would really have to be good at controlling the heat. I do aluminum every day and it would be so easy to drop the bottom out if ya didn't have good puddle control. Or stop and let it cool. And most definitely need a tig finger! I love those things. I'm gonna order a hoodie soon

[@wesleya.wright8498]

Very nice. I've done the cube. but that thing at this time is not doable ( I'm new to TIG welding 3 or 4 months in ) What I want to know is how do you keep the colors in your weld most of mine finish out gray. like to watch your videos I've learned ALOT from watching you. Thanks: W.A.Wright

[@tokolosh11]

Excellent video, thanks Jody.

[@rileymcfee6946]

Another question; when you are welding are melting the material and adding in the rod or are you heating the material and adding the rod on top the material to make a "cap" if you will. Just curious

So, I'm 16 and I dropped out of highschool and I'm working on my GED, I really enjoyed welding when I was in school and I want to make a career out of it.

I was wondering what I would be able to do to make a career out of welding without having access to welding supplies?

Practicing on mild steel and 4130, 55 amps is like the perfect setting when we do 1/16th butt joint coupons. I know one guy who just sets it straight at 55 and goes full pedal and it works perfectly for him.

is that 1A / per .001" rule across the board? For example, a piece of Steel .001" is pretty thin. 1 Amp seems like t would burn thru. Just wondering.

[@EquitySolutionRayRaz]

I have only welded with MiG and stick , not much of a bragger but I did get pretty damn good with a 7018 and 6011 😅from fabricating on an asphalt plant that I was operating for 8 years , My question is .. you started with those exterior seams without a tack on the inside to keep it from pulling out ? When you tig does the steel have less tendency to pull and warp out like a stick ? Cause I sort of learned that I always had to tack to keep from it bowing with the heat and such , I want to Tig and been watching your videos for a while now , appreciate your videos thanks , now I need to afford a decent tig

[@waderedsox]

take this question with a huge grain of salt because it doesnt come from alot of experience, but when ive welded with s2 and s6, the s2 feels like it welds a little cleaner and comes out a bit shinier, and i was wondering if anyone else had had that experience

[@griffon3275]

Was there something about the thickness or the steel that was different ? because I have watched a lot of your videos on welding over time and noticed that the welds on this are good but not as consistent or purty as normal as in they look like a human did it instead of your usual looks like a robot did it ? you know what I mean ?

[@DJInclined]

Is it okay to use 316 stainless filler on 4130 cromo chassis? It's all I had on hand.

[@aquaagu2]

I dont understand how you make such good controllable puddles in stainless without burning it. More heat, more gas flow?

70 s-2 higher silica content than 70 s-6 . Given the choice 70 s-6 every time, but companies rarely are willing to spend the extra money as 70 s-6 as it costs more. I was told it takes a new Qualified Welding Procedure to run -6 but I do not believe that is true as it can be considered a minor variance, as I understand it. It could be compared to a procedure ran with 5-P (6010-Red rod) but be restricted from running 5-p+(6010-Grey) this would make little sense.

[@MiklaDfar]

[@schnaps1790]

i always thought your pice would collide not explode when you weld it shut, because its already realy hot when you weld the last spot that makes it airtight and then the hot air inside cools down

25cfh is kind of excessive for welding mild, isn't it? Argon is not cheap to waste.

[@JanFlycaster]

I think you would actually build a vacuum. As the metal and gas inside the workpice is hottest while welding, you close it up and upon cooling the gas contracts and you ll end up with a vacuum.
