    damn brody good shite! i started welding in middle school and kept doing it through high school and thought that's what my career was going to be. life happened and i went a different route but i've always loved welding and how the finished product says it all. I own a couple businesses in home building and home inspections now but i still love watching a beast welder. good shit young homie, i'm sure you're an inspiration to alot of young bucks coming up lost and wanting to learn a skill. In this day and age and all the bs going on its good to see the trades keep this country running. Much love from your neighbor in SA!

    Nights sucks, especially for a welder. I used to X-ray welds at night and when I would come in before the end of their shift to setup, some welders would wanna give me their phone number so I could call them to let them know if they passed or busted. I hate letting guys know they busted. But I’m just doing my job at the end of the day.

    I'm 69 I'm an old Retired pipe fitter, When I started out as a young man 45 years ago I didn't have any schooling either I learned everything by trial-and-error, Some of the old timers would show you And others were hateful bastards, And when you got better the good guys were on your side the haters hated you even more, I was left handed But I could really well with either hand, The young guys gave me the frigging nickname golden arm, Don't Like being bragged on, Just Babbling, old guys we'll do that. You are at your very worst welding when you're taking a test, Out in the field you can use the cable for your arm or file, Screw the video take the test get the job, You can always voice over. Good luck young man God- Speed.

    • @jeepwk6.5L
      @jeepwk6.5L Před 3 lety

      Depends, some factors.
      Do you want gas/diesel or electric?
      Are you planning on using it for field work like pipeline?
      Do you have 220 or 110 capabilities?
      If you run tig are you ok with lift arc or do you need functions?
      Do you plan on running it for a few hours or non stop 8-12 hrs a day?
      There are plenty of cheap options, and brands like miller, Lincoln, esab, Hobart are always great welders but are never budget friendly.

  • @gavenaguilar7611

    Quick question. I’ve watched plenty of details on welding. I’ve seen how to weld first hand and I was a pipe fitter for quite some time. What would be my advice if I can only pass with GTAW? I can’t handle stick welding on small pipe like coupons and such. Probably 1-3 inch pipe

    The stainless pipe looked way to hot. Maybee it dooesent matter on the test. But in the field you should not let the pipe be so hot that you have a lot of colure. And in the end off the root you can have alot of holes in the tape and have good flow on the purge. Nice job you are skilled.
