  • There are a lot of woodworkers and furniture makers out there that would like to learn how to weld and add working with steel to their arsenal (so I've heard). So while I was in Asheville, NC collaborating with Johnny Brooke from Crafted workshop on a Live Edge Coffee Table build (Linked Below), and welding up custom Hairpin Legs (also Linked) I took advantage of the opportunity to get an informative video for the second channel. Let me know if this series has legs!

    Neither of us are welding experts by any means, and since most of our projects are woodworking based, we thought it would be helpful to share what we know and some of the common problems and growing pains we've faced on out own welding journeys.

    Advice : Start with a stick welder. It's cheaper, give good results, and will make you learn welding. After few years you might change to TIG or MIG, or you might stick to stick welding ;) . A 160amps stick welder cost about 250$. And sticks are cheap.

    Sounds like we actually know what we’re talking about! This turned out great dude, wish there was a video like this when I was getting into this.

    MIG is Metal Inert Gas and considered a separate process than Flux Core. Both machines function the same but require different techniques (drag/push) and Flux Core leaves slag so you'll need a chipping hammer and it'll be a bit messier more like Stick.

    Thanks for the video. Could you make separate video about the finishes, where you compare how they end up looking. Also for what kind of usage the are best for, outside, rain, snow etc?

    I love this video. Keep making videos like these. I happened to stumble on this video and it was the perfect timing. I just purchased a multi-purpose welder as I am wanting to learn how to weld. And this video answered so many questions I had. Especially about wire sizes and what to get. Hope you do more of these videos in the future.

  • @michaelpangilinan_
    @michaelpangilinan_ Před 6 lety

    OH man! Thanks for this! One of my goals is to learn how to weld, but I was a little fearful because it seemed a little daunting to start. Thanks for the information! Hopefully 2018 will be the year I get started! Love both your channels!

  • @southcumberlandwoodworks312

    Dang guys, two thumbs up. You answered all the questions I had about getting into welding plus a whole lot more. I’m going to sit down next weekend and play through the whole thing again, taking meticulous notes. Thanks for a great intro to welding

  • @stumptownwoodworks
    @stumptownwoodworks Před 6 lety

    This was fantastic guys, so good. Can't wait to get a welder. Have borrowed one in the past and welded as a kid. Plenty of times where some custom metal legs would really set a piece off.

    I'm a woodworker almost exclusively, but I have a new in the box welder sitting in the garage. I think this inspired me to break it open this weekend.

    Awesome video guys. I plan on having my brother in law, this summer, teach me how to weld. It's something I've wanted to do for @20 years. My ex-husband was a boilermaker but never wanted to take the time out to work with me. So now I WANT & CAN do anything I put my mind to.
    I really enjoyed watching you two. You should make more videos together.

    @thedrizz1913 Před 6 lety

    Great video, I don't know if its natural progression or if you've all influenced me but I kind of wanted to start dabbling in metalwork. I'll likely scoop up that Chicago Electric with a 20% off coupon to see if I like it/can do it! Thanks Mike and Johnny!

    • @ModernBuilds
      @ModernBuilds Před 6 lety

      Right on! I've been pretty happy with it so far. I think that definitely the natural progression of things.

  • @amely8393
    @amely8393 Před rokem

    hello, the better machine will be fluxcore 125 from harbor freight, this is a much better welder than the black one you showed, for about 170dlls gives you a lot better ranges for welding

    Do either of you (or anyone in the comments) have any thoughts on getting the 125 Chicago that works with 110v?

  • @truth-ox3wz
    @truth-ox3wz Před 3 lety

    Maybe good for something in your garage, but if don't know how to weld then it most likely won't be structurally sound and highly unlikely that it would pass a break test. I've been welding pipelines for over 20yrs and am still learning every day.

  • @tancakar8987
    @tancakar8987 Před 5 lety

    so i think i will start with mig welding with flux, so i don't need to have a gas tank i am assuming its better then stick welding arc welding i guess.

    Hey Mike what’s your podcast called!?

  • @jacobstordahl8288
    @jacobstordahl8288 Před 6 lety +1

    I'd recommend not welding with just right angle magnets. Generally, the magnets should only be used for holding your material in place while you add clamps. The magnets aren't strong enough to stop the expansion and contraction of the steel from throwing your work out of square!
