That boy Rico badazz! I want to have one on one with you in the future to help me out with some stainless 🔥

[@TheWeldLab]

Stainless is my specialty ! Keep in touch got something big on the way !

[@Gasher92]

As a weld inspector, it's dope seeing guys that care about their work quality..

[@TheWeldLab]

thanks for watching 💯

[@oscarborjon6112]

To me the root is easy for me heck 29yrs of welding it should be easy. It’s Awsome that you show other people how to weld. I love to show other people myself. Keep up the good work bro keep on keeping on. 🤘🏼

[@TheWeldLab]

Yeah man I enjoy teaching people feels very good

[@gilbertoescalante5809]

I’m currently a student at Dickinson high school in their welding program. I appreciate everything you post and take your time to explain it. Much appreciation for sharing your knowledge . Keep doing what your doing .

[@TheWeldLab]

Thanks homie and good luck at your welding school

[@TheDnlnext]

Good to see you helping others. As a non-welder, I find your videos interesting, helpful, and makes me want to learn for fun.

[@abrahamHTX]

Badass when I was in the field as a welder helper I came across a lot of welders that was salty about teaching they helped or fitter. So good soul big bro.

[@cupwalker24.7]

I wish I had a freind like you around when I was younger coming up . I rode solo.... before people welded to survive or cared about welding because of money .. I have been through so much hell in my welding life and career but having a buddy like you around when I was younger would have raised my spirits so much .. . I'm not that old but I'm a diehard welder and I ride with my welding family ... Listen to this man he has a huge passion for welding and his career , we love welding and that clean money we all have to have to survive 🤣🤠🦅💪

[@TheWeldLab]

Yes brother I’m all for helping and motivating everybody who is trying to do better in life when I was a helper I really appreciated the few welders who where willing to help

[@sparksmobilerepair4025]

Great video! Glad there are more guys out there that are willing to help guys learn the trade.

[@TheWeldLab]

Yeah brother it really helped me out a lot and I appreciated the older welders trying to teach me there skills ..i feel like I need to do the same and get the next gen ready !

[@TheWeldLab]

Thanks for supporting the channel homie much appreciated

[@kirstenspencer3630]

To our friends outside the United States. The field downhill of pipe is used to prevent excess heat ( joules ) as going uphill can be done SLOWLY which overheats the pipe and even when it looks good the alloy of the pipe ( HAZ heat affected zone ) now may be compromised. With downhill the weld puddle will spill over the rod and have porosity. Heavy schedule 160 wall may be welded uphill as the heat is absorbed by the massive thickness of the pipe. Preheat and post heat needs to be monitored on carbon and the WPS NEEDS TO BE FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER. You will be called back for more work if you are known as a heads up welder. Watch your argon lines so equipment does not get park on top and stop.your purge.

Good stuff Ricco, I'm not a welder but i own two of them and i enjoy welding scrap steel in my garage. I always look forward to your helpful tips.👍👍👍

[@gargar8196]

With carbon pipe it depends on what code 1104 or 31.3 I’ve welded carbon where any suck back on the root had to be repaired. Depends on the owners and what they will let by and the code

[@uniquetouch2816]

My man Rico. Thank you for the videos. It is so nice to have someone like your explain what your doing and willing to help us and give us positive encouragement and not negative sh*t that a lot of people do. Much respect to you. Wish you would come to NJ and open a school here. I would be interested in partnering the start up cost you would just have to teach it. No welding class within 100 miles of me and i know tons of people who want to go. Just cant make it happen with their jobs they currently have to hold before they can get certified welding

[@jeffreyplumber1975]

Great Channel and informative. done a lot of fitting and layout but not welding myself. really love everything piping

[@TheWeldLab]

Yeah me to I enjoy fitting and laying out also

[@jakebennett1047]

This is the second time I've been watching your good videos I also appreciate your good comments and how you're teaching skills are going as you're learning the trade I appreciate those good skills that you teach as you are doing your videos also when you have a chance get a bee stinger rod holder because they're one of the best and that's what I've been using for the last 16 years

A video on what passes x ray would be great bro

[@TheWeldLab]

10-4 !

[@jeffp7776]

Get yourself familiar with the code you are welding in that is what passes x-ray. It's all in black and white. The codes are vastly different on every type of inclusion. One thing they all have in common is a nice clean weld is a nice clean weld. Practice and stay focused and you will not have to worry about failing any NDT not just x-ray.

[@DanielRodriguez-eg7em]

This what I need bro I never got pass that root. Appreciate that video I apply your advice as I practice

[@TheWeldLab]

Glad I could help!

Hey Rico! I had no doubt that you would repel the unemployment truck 😎😁. This was a great tutorial video, so thanks for the tips buddy 👍.

[@TheWeldLab]

thanks for watching wade ...im getting laid of this week finally heading home

[@506curtis]

Yea man here in Alberta Canada. The pipe code is anything above ground is all uphand. Then most stuff that gets burred in the ground is downhand. I would be nice to be able to run a downhand root and hot pass but that's not how they want it done here.

[@ElizabethSanchez-gs6kl]

Man ur so humble...God bless

Way to lay it down man, and keep that knowledge passing on. Gotta keep the future of our trades strong. Good stuff man

Now on your stainless tig welds, are you scratch tig welding off your SA 200. Is there a tig kit that you can set up with a pedal? I have a ranger 250 and there is a pedal option with it. I've looked up tig kits for certain welders and the information is very vague. You do lay some good welds tho. I like your videos. 💯

Honestly hes kinda right, if you can run uphill which is a bit harder u can def do downhill. Pipes all bout the fit, if the fits good everything else goes like butter
