Fabtech 2016 is November 16,17,18th in Las Vegas...and I hope to meet you there.
If you want to look me up and shoot the breeze, I will be hanging out for an hour on wed the 16th from 11am to 12noon at the Strong Hand Tools booth N2324...
and Also on thursday the 17th I will hang out from 11am to 12noon at ESAB Welding & Cutting Products Booth N4529.
. ..in this video I am stick welding uphill with 7018 electrode on a 2 foot long tee joint.
3f vertical Tee. 1/4" thick CRS. Miller Thunderbolt ac/DC stick welder I bought used off craigslist for 350 bones.
When I first struck an arc on the tee, I heard a super load buzz...Even though this machine had a pretty loud buzz, this time it was much louder than usual.
I looked at the miller operators manual and saw something called "noise adjustment screws" and I knew that was the problem.
These screws had loosened up to the point where the amperage crank wouldn't hold a setting.
After I unplugged the machine and tightened the screws a bit, it got a lot quieter. - Jak na to + styl
Jody I give you full credit for the reason I got my welding job in the army! I'd love to meet you at somepoint, maybe next year, everyone at the welding shop knows of you and you've helped us all! Big thanks SPC Bowen !
I am a young welder trying to survive in the high pressure construction corporation I'm in. luckily I've excelled and everything has been going great. I've learned from your videos and I thank you for providing great tips and tricks for us welders.
WISH I could meet you at fabtech Jody, one of these days. It would make my life. Thanks for everything you've taught me & thanks for another video . You've made a big difference for a TON of people
I have a feeling we will meet one day. Looking forward to it
Thanks Jody. The butterfly weave is so ingrained in me for uphill I would struggle to do an uphill stringer without forgetting and weaving.
Hey Jody you and I are the same age and I have been welding just about as long as you have and I learn a lot from your videos you are the man!!!
I was dragging a lot of 7018 40 years ago in Ironworker apprentice school. Brings back memories. Thanks for the video.
When I was in welding school we used donald duck/mickey mouse for our toe count, which is quite amusing when you walk up the row of bays and hear a chorus of out of sync welding students chanting "donald duck, mickey mouse" over and over. lol
Thanks for helping so many of us. Many times I've used your videos in my classroom. (Ramona Highschool, San Diego). I'll see you at FabTech. Have a good day!.
I started watching your channel years ago when I was getting started and now I run my own steel fabrication shop
Jody another awesome video. Thanks for sharing. I am impressed you could stay down that low for so long. I'm 52 and my knees and back are toast from all that. Makes me want to get back in the shop and make some sparks again. Then I try it and realize that chair feels really good pushing paper. 😃
I would have never guessed your age at 59. Good going young man.
i wanna be like you🤗
Hey Jody, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but if you weld away from your ground clamp (hook it to the bottom of your piece) you can prevent getting ark blow. You build magnetism as you weld up the joint and it become more noticeable as you approach your ground. Great vids and keep up the good work.
great video, thanks for taking the time to make these videos. great content. and thank you for not putting ads in your videos
Nice one Jody. I used to struggle so much with vertical uphill 7018, but after years of practice and watching you, I seem to be much better at it now. I had to weld up a crack in a butt plate on an 8" bore cylinder the other day. I couldn't use the pipe rollers because of the transfer tube. I basically did two vertical welds, starting at 3 and 9, and working up to the 12 position. It was ground out deep. Used 1/8" for two passes then 5/32" for a nice wide cover pass. It turned out awesome! Always makes ya smile when you can lay down a good looking bead. 👍🏻
Inspiration, I'm in my first welding class and I am doing great! I cant wait for the day to put the skills I am learning in the booth to the test out in the field. of course I have many more classes to take but I am in love so it's fine. {:
Abom79 you two should do a project together. My favorite machinist with my favorite welder.
i go to a career center ive been welding for only months i can do the cert with 3g open root 7018
@@chrisjones6165 same here, although for welding I like Bob Moffatt a lot as well
i know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any tips you can give me!
ive always had problems with verticle stick...but ive gotten waaay better always wondered why plate blew through at the top ...guess i wasnt letting my plate cool alil at the top...love your videos man...helped me out alot.
Thanks for the vids! I love them you are one of my favorite youtubers!
great video. had to weld some stuff the other day with a Miller stick machine and this really helped! thanks.
Thanks Jody, I learn a lot from your videos.
There should be more "foot to butt" action in this world, a million years ago, when I was young, I learned to repair lawn mowers from a guy that would crack your knuckles with a wrench if you put your a hand in a "danger zone" ... I know not to put my fingers in pinch areas.
Thanks Jody! love watching your videos
Hey Jody, My name is Arshad. I'm a welding Instructor from South Africa ( Cape Town ) I don't mean to be forward but just a pro tip for your 3F welding. Try holding your toes a bit less, move a bit slower over the center and keep your weave a bit tighter and that slag should just fall off! (~^, I have learnt so much from all your TIG videos. Keep up the good work champ.
Thanks very much. I will try that
You are an artist person in welding. I always see the videos very well. On the idea, I also do a very good welding technician. I have a lot of experience. Thank you ...
The old school way works the best!reminds me of when I was in boot camp.
Hello Jody, Richie here
Thanks for the videos, I will go by booth N2324 to shake your hand.
I´m traveling from Panama, been following your videos for a few years now.
Thank you Jody for your videos, I'm in school right now and I'm currently in a welding class. I find myself always going to your videos to make sure I'm doing something correctly. Thanks again and I really enjoy the videos. 😀👍
Nothing better than good old stick welding! Man I'll take stick welding over MIG or TIG...Just because it's fun and so versatile
Great job Jody !
great info. its been 35 years for me to. just starting to weld myself ty
Thank you Jody. You are great man.
Jody, you're very humble for a pretty awesome weldor. Regarding the welding fumes, Miller makes a really low profile respirator, can't come up with the part number at the moment, but I'm sure a google or Amazon search will reveal the mystery. Also, I put a little fan right behind me. I have it behind me so it doesn't blow anything around too much where I'm welding, but it keeps my welding hood ventilated and the smoke going away from me. Doesn't take much either and the cool air sure feels nice on my ugly mug.
Great video! I believe everyone wanting to learn to weld, mig, tig, stick or any type should always start learning the basics with basic stick welding. Many feel it is the toughest to learn and maybe so but after learning the basics all other procedures come much easier. Many times you can find a used machine for $50 or less, buy the Lincoln bible, and you're off and welding. Thanks, Ed K Cleve. Oh.
Great advice right there. I agree!
I use nothing but the pipeliner welding helmet. There is a respirator from miller that fits great underneath it. I had to mig weld a ton of stainless making mining equipment. I used that and it worked well and was as comfortable as you can be wearing it for 10 hours with a beard.
You did a fine job! Thank you !!
as usual, great video!
Another great video Jody! I am a new "hobbist" welder, and have been watching your videos over the last few months. I just ordered a AHP 160ST, 10lb of 3/32 7018, and 10lb of 1/8 7018 from Amazon. I am ready to start "padding beads" with confidence after watching these videos. Thank you so much!
That little ahp welder runs a 7018 great
Don't forget to run some 6011 fast-freeze as well, the whip and pause is a good skill to have for root beads on tough fit-ups. Plus if you get good with it you can even get a 'stack of dimes' look to your welds!
Ill keep that in mind. I intend to eventually learn tig as well, but I want to get good at 7018 first. I will mostly be welding 1/8" thick carbon steel tubing, angles, etc. so the simplicity of stick welding has a lot of appeal.
I'd recommend 6010 instead, but the new inverter machines don't like running it, so 6011 is as close as you can get. My main usage of it is for tacking things up before welding it out with 7018. It is much faster because it doesn't form a slag cap on the tip of the rod that prevents easy restriking like 7018 does. I fell in love with 6010 back when I learned to weld at the tank+pipe outfit I worked for out of highschool. It's a very forgiving rod that helps you get things done when conditions aren't perfect.
Jacob Faulkner for 1/8 in thick materials I'd Tig over stick. Use thicker material for padding beads and what not on stick
Jody, You asked for comments about the stick weld video. You bet, more stick weld videos. Thanks for your videos. When I get around to my tig welding feature on my 3 in one plasma,stick, tig, chinese inverter, I'll try your tig finger.
Thanks Jody!
Missed you at Fabtech. I had sent you some DMs on instagram trying to meet up. I'm so far behind on watching videos, I didn't see this until a week after. Maybe in 2018 when it returns to Vegas. Diggin' the channel and the podcast.
Good job! i wanted to know half of it! when i worked as a welder, i could only "climb up" on TIG...
great video, I enjoyed it.
I have one of those 3M respirators, I love it. but I had to go get the miller respirator to fit properly under my helmet. I really like wearing respirators where I never thought I would. I don't suffer for a week after a day of cutting grinding and welding flux core. Great video as always, I learn a lot from every video.
patthesoundguy I have one of the Miller respirators that fits under my welding hood but I found that it didn't really work as good as I hoped it would. I would suggest trying out a half mask with breathing tubes that go behind your head with screw in filters that are much better at filtering Particles and gases. Here's one kinda like what I have :P www.airgas.com/product/Safety-Products/Respiratory-Protection/PAPR/p/HONBP1201M?gclid=Cj0KEQiAzNfDBRD2xKrO4pSnnOkBEiQAbzzeQZ48BdwruP-HXWYc_XHWPOEzPctD1K0B4AKPiGAjYgQaAtcU8P8HAQ&fo_c=306&fo_k=f972ed694218cb06b6f26386dc91881d&fo_s=gplaus&SEM:Google:PLA.US:All_Items:Non-brand:pla:Airgas:PPC::HONBP1201M::Revenue&s_kwcid=AL!4811!3!151173097184!!!g!282341095154!&ef_id=WEH5ggAAACMLMa8g:20170112011246:s
Jared c wow that looks amazing! thanks for sharing that. looks like it takes the good 3m filters
patthesoundguy Every filter has what type of stuff it will filter out so I get the ones with a lot of different types of gases sometimes I have to plasma cut stuff with sulfur that burns and makes sulfur dioxide so I get these ones :P m.uline.com/h5/r/www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-21487/Dust-Masks-and-Respirators/North-75SCP100L-Multiple-Gases-Vapor-Cartridge-Filter-Combo-P100?pricode=WY586&gadtype=pla&id=S-21487&gclid=Cj0KEQiAzNfDBRD2xKrO4pSnnOkBEiQAbzzeQYn488DVcbD_Q8G_kUlXw845AsugkCRhB6qcVYgta0oaArrc8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds
tnk u so much, evry video wwas interesting love it
Ang galing mo talaga👍👍👍
Jimmy Diresta turned me on to your channel as I want to learn to weld. You mentioned in the beginning of the video that you could edit the links but not the video after it is posted. Jimmy mentioned in his podcast that he learned you could edit a posted video. Didn't know if this would help you. Thanks again for all the education you are providing.
Thanks. Jimmy is a great human being
Hey Jody check out the Miller respirator it fits under all my gear way better than my other respirators Thank you so much for encouraging people to use a respirator
Hi jody, your vids have helped me so much. The experience that goes into your videos is unreal. Would you have time to do any stainless mig? Thanks again
great video, thanks
Hey Jody!
I was wondering if you could do a video or give some tips on welding overhead horizontal, same material as you used in this video.
Regards, Tommy from Sweden.
Jody, could you please do a TIG video on using 4943 filler wire and the difference between it and 4043 & 5356.
Thank you.
KAP
Always awsome man!!!
Hey Jody any chance of doing a tig open root 3mm gap (no backing plate) 7018 fill and cap in 3G position video in the near future? Thanks
Great video thanks 👍
Thanks Jody I been a fan of you for the last 3 years. Have you tried miller half mask respirator. it fits under most of my helmets.
like i love your video especially smaw ....please post more
2020 and still educational
Learned a bit from you and a few other tubers, just want to say thanks and show appreciation because i now support my family with my hood and electrodes.
Have you tried a figure 8 for the cap? The heat dispersion makes better looking patterns and gives the same penetration as your zig zag 2 second. In this respect, the pool cools behind your stick whille you edge the sides. When finished it should look like two rows that weave as c pass stringers.
Ps!!
You got that new hood and never flipped your darkscreen to grinding lol
Thought id pick at you a little, keep the videos rollin brother
If you are looking for ideas regarding new videos, I would like to see some stuff on distortion on flat plate (mostly trying to prevent it when welding a lot)
Is there techniques to avoid warpage on those long welds?
Thanks Jody, I've learned a lot from you.
had to do that everyday for 8 hours running multipass vertical overhead and horizontal
I always enjoyed going vertical 7018, because much of my time at work used to be running 7024 jet on floor seams in massive oil tanks, and that get REALLY boring after 100pounds of rod, LOL!
vertical is a pain, uphill with a 7018,AC,I could do it twenty years ago, I'm just not that coordinated ,anymore, some of the last trailers I built,the verticals welds ,looked terrible, I needed a DC machine, so bad, I ground some of the joints down, and rewelded them.
jet rod was interesting the first time 5/32 smoking
yeah,I'm an old guy(retired) but have to say I've probably done hundreds of thousands of these welds and this guy ain't bad at all...he said himself he's done better but he's also not doing this all day every day anymore...this is a young man's trade but if it interests you,you should pay attention to him,he's good!
great . best regards from germany
Mr. Jody I realy like your vids and I find them to be very educational, I've been working in constructions for the last 4 years or so and had to learn how to weld stick without anny formal classe, mind you I'm from Romania and there are many regulations but manny "contractors" learn to build the old fashion way, for small out of the citty jobs authoritys let us be; annyway this year I have put to good use some of the tricks and tips so thank you for that. Even thou I usualy use 6013 for 3 mm steel square tubes I sometimes use 7018 for 6 mm and up, and I weeve T joints, so I ask when should I weeve and when should I use stringers, for structural steel; so far I've been doing something like stringers when the gap is to big or some type of bodge
A little cold for my liking, but looking not bad at all, results are what counts, and everyone welds a bit differently but will get the job done. Good herringbone pattern.
thanks sir
Hey Jody, your 7018 videos helped me get the best looking uphill welds in my class. I started it about a week and a half ago and was getting ugly welds thst went in the bottom of the scrap out of shame then i kept practicing and trying to do what you do in the videos and i got welds with no undercut that layed into a t joint completely flat. What kind of applications call for 7018? I like this rod and could see myself making a career out of stick welding if i got a few aws certifications.
I always thought you turned the amps down not up for long hot passes. please explain why you turned the amps up.
could you please do some 6013 vertical uphill please stringer and weave thanks
Saludo desde la república dominicana🔴⚪🔵
nice,. is only practice. the more the better.
Hey Jody,
My current employer is an old school pipeline welder. we currently do a lot of farm equipment repair but mostly just fab stuff. whenever we have to do anything structurally, he insists on us using 5/32nd 7018. can you do a video of running that rod uphill. I am decent with 1/8th but can't seem to get the 5/32nd to stay put.
Would it be better to long ark in to the joint that way no slag infusion?
Nice welding ! When welding a trailer frame of 3" "C" channel 3/16-1/4" thickness on the walls, will a single pass give adequate structural strength or does it require multiple passes usually? Thx again!
Wow I would have never guessed you were 59! I am 46 and went through Machine Tool Tech in early 90's. We had some pretty rough teasing methods too! The Wall of Shame was quite interesting! But this was probably counterproductive by today's standards.
Hola Which is the best inverter welding machine
Hey Jody, I have the same pipeliner hood with the flip up lens. I was wondering if you had any problems with the inside of the lens hitting your nose? I saw somewhere that you could buy an offset headgear but can't seam to find one. Anyway, thanks for the videos and keep up the good work!
can a old miller ac dc welder be made into a tig set up ?
Can you do a video tig welding a 1 inch stsinles steel pipe
...Respirator...good call on that........I have COPD, although it was caused by chemicals/solvents....but still....don't need to breathe the welding fumes/smoke, especially that stainless...!
Nice
Jody the 7018 is a low hydrogen rod. Here in Australia trade transformer machines had a second tap off line for low hydrogen rods. Effectively it was a higher voltage (from memory maybe 45 volts versus 25 volts but don't quot me on that), but reduced maximum amps line. It was designed to give you an easier start and run for a low hydrogen rod. You can run them on the normal electrode tap but it takes a bit more skill. I see your Miller machine only has the two leads, one for earth and one for the electrode. So are you just running on a low voltage setting?
I can never get 7018 rods to run right; arc is tough to keep lit and control and the slag never seems to want to come off. I don't know if I'm trying to run them too hot/cold, it's moisture issue with the rods or I just suck and need more practice haha. Any pointers? most of the arc welding I do is on used oil field pipe.
See you at FabTech! One opening left for a round of golf on Friday at 12:30...interested? Two Community College welding teachers and me...need one more!
How close is your arc gap? I tend to blow my puddle out is this because my arc is too tight? I basically keep the tip of the rod on the surface of the puddle
How can i avoid arc blow on root pass
Seeing how much you weld, it should be worth the money to get a fume extractor.
Id like to see the same weld but out of position. Preferably off a ladder or laying down stretched out
Say you're welding with some 1/8 7018s, comparing AC to DC. Do you think it takes more amps to weld 7018 on DC??
Is it easier to use 7018 vs 6013 doing uphill like this? I done some frame repair on my truck recently that had bottom, uphill, and overhead welding. The bottom and overhead went fine using 6013 but the uphill puddle just kept pouring down. I'm still kinda new at welding though I'm getting pretty good I cant seam to get uphill welds.
Hey Jody have you heard anything about pulse arc stick welding?
How long are u usually waiting for the plate to cool down before u run another pass ?
hi Jody can you tell me what do you think about snap on welder I bought a mm140sl mig welder it work great but you never talk about it in any of your videos they are very expensive but not many people purchase those welder please make a comment
hola soy soldador a prendis de colombiano me gustaría que alguno de tus vídeos fueran en español para entender mejor sus grandes habilidades te agradezco mucho att Javier
Is there any reason why arc blow tends to happen at the end of a joint? I experienced it non stop on all my vertical 7018 test coupons
If at all possible before you strike a new rod, move your ground to a new location. Arc blow is a pain, but you can learn to beat it with rod angle and ground placement.
u hold up good jody. i would never have guessed ur over 52
So how do you prevent that arc blow towards the end of the joint?
como se suelda boca de pescado con 7018
hello all. is the :triangle" progression uded too? long stop in middle and less the sides , only for first pass .? (called "chrismas tree") thanks.
I had to put off the "arc force" control on my inverter, as it added penetration but when I was in the middle and hotter I do not change the settings as I would end up with too little, and short arc made the src force active creating too deep undercuts on the sides.
I never have seen a drying ( almost "cooking" of those 7018 rods on US videos, nor their storage in heated dry boxes during welding. this is only for real jobs with radio controls and no hydrogen ? thanks .
Jody , is it posdible or too frustrating you train to that with 6013 ? up to now I have tons of drift and can only see the puddle when waving large enough do the first pass not successful yet. Do you loik at the puddle below ? heat regulation is really not easy for me with that old buzz box I use ( but no more than 3 works "daily" training and not with much help locally).
Thanks
I find answerd on the 6013 . they are uded gor schooling as they are less easy than others, so qualifying up with them will make your use of 7018 easier later.
so I train with those. the arc lenght should be a little longer, and electrode positive for first pass helps with penetration. Regards from France. ps we also have "rutil cellulose and " basic rutile" electrodes. just in similar categories than 6013 and 7018, for the second ones theyy are rutile with higher content of cellulose so they can be used descending.
Anyone have any tips on helping me out? Ive been working on practicing my vertical but cant seem to keep my weld from having a crown to it, the weld will be uniform and clean, but will always have a bump in the middle, im primarily practicing stringers at 125 amps, and am getting good penetration and no undercut, but the bump in the middle will be there regardless of how good or bad i do.
muy buen video me puedes enviar un tutorial pero en español gracias
algo mas patron?
Raul & Hedges 🤣
Creo que jody no habla español asi que a pura vista tal vez en un futuro le ponga subtitulos seria bueno hasta para su negocio si no as visto tiene una tienda donde vende herramientas y sus videos
