This is how you weld

I was expecting him to drop it on the floor & break it for a laugh.....
Wonder if he will sell me his Reese hitch, I need to pull a backhoe this weekend?

Wow...
Why is this guy trying to show others? He clearly does not know himself.
For example: You would think he would at least get some terminology correct so that he sounds legit.... "basically you want to go up and down across there so you spread your feed out"... I think he was talking about running a weave bead... but its been proven that generally a stringer has better metallurgical and mechanical properties than a weave. Plus its harder for a welder to hide defects when doing a stringer. Hence the reason why most construction only allows stringers.
He's got a lincoln welder, he should buy the lincoln welding handbook for starters.

i was expecting him to hit it on the bench and show us that its strong, but it would have broke and made me rofl
How about a welding hood....that would be another great place to start...no?
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
The guy actually welds better then 80% of the guy's @ work
he's good alright. Im actually on the road to nh right now for an emergency leak repair. I put in a call for 2 mirror tube welders....I wonfer if this yahoo is gonna show up to save the boiler lmao

All i can say is WOW friggin wow.
1. buy a real welding helmet.
2. adjust the copper guard on end of welding gun to piece inside does not contact metal.
Those are just my recomendations.

Well... there are many ways to make a sound weld. You can adjust the electrical stick out (copper guard around contact tip), wire feed speed (arc length) and your voltage to a whole host of different parameters and still manage to make a decent weld.
This guy has not only managed to screw all of those things up, he even did a terrible job of explaining how to do it the wrong way.
Yea, I say a proper welding shield is in order as well. I don't know many welders that do good work with only one hand... unless they have a few drinks to steady themselves out.

I actually do Mig and Tig and stick one handed. When stick (arc) welding my left hand is getting the next electrode ready. When Mig And Tiging I just hold what I am welding or I steady myself.
They will push back when starting, gotta get the filler hot enough to start arcing onto the weldment.
Couple of things.........
First, it's not a "copper guard", it's a nozzle.
Second, like BB88 said, many welds are done one handed. The position of the weld usually dictates what you do with your free hand.
Third, type of weld and material thickness will dictate how much you need to work the puddle by "stitching".
If anybody was gonna rip on this guy, I thought these things were ripe for target practice:
1) No mention of cleaning off the parent material.
2) Water quenching. Usually a no-no.
3) What's with the "grind it off" statement at the end?
Obviously not meant to be an all encompassing tutorial.

It is cool to quinch a weld though, but yeah he totally crystalized that weld, not that I think he had any penitration anyway.
