None of these videos are recorded in a fancy shop surrounded by sponsorship banners!
My videos are recorded at working sites in various locations and welding positions.
90% of my welding projects in videos are x-rayed, and if you like to see hands-on projects, welcome!

Thumbs up for saving the day. You are 100% right about blaming the people that put him there, there's a well established system for approving pipe welders...
Yeah bro, that part was most frustrating, but you should see the cap he did 😳lol… I didn’t want to show that .
so why wouldn't you heliarc that old weld out.. can tell you dont work in nuclear reactors
@@harleyme3163 heliarc a weld out???
@@harleyme3163 Heliarc is simply tig welding using helium which isn't done very much these days, some helium in the mix is sometimes used but rarely 100% helium.
I laughed when you said x-ray 😵💫. That's crazy man good on you for having a decent attitude about it. 👍
You are the TIG doctor❤
This is so true💪😭❤️
He speaks the polite truth.
Beautiful welding you did my man! This clearly shows how hard it actually is to become a good tig welder!! The weld you had to repair looked terribly bad! You are awesome! 👍🏽
Thanks 👍bro
totally unacceptable in my jib to take more then 15 minutes to make a weld structural here, no pretty shit, we ultrasound all welds... you dont get 3/4 oon aa 1 inch thick pipe you lose your job
Excellent Doctor Tig
I feel guilty saying this, but I'm glad its not just me dont know how you could just go into ZEN mode knowing 'THAT' root was lingering under all your good strings.... loved the NO Autograph part hahaa
That right there with shocking man that had that look like rookie work!!!! But I know I've been thrown in situations like that and I've repeatedly said that I don't want my name anywhere around on that....
Exactly, lol
As i can see the preparing is very important. Thanks for this video ❤
Outstanding content!! thanks a lot.
Sorry to say I'm quite familiar with that situation. Boss throws Temps at jobs well over their head all the time
I will fix this but my initials will not be anywhere around. LOL!
Great tutorial and very helpful. It’s definitely not easy to be a good tig welder!
You got that right!
You need to give us an update on if this passed x-ray or not.
It’s actually funny that he did pass the X-ray, but report was full of indications, and the only thing that saved him was, thickness and diameter of the pipe… good thing he did because I would be the one to fix it, lol!
@@X3MTIG haha yea, always nice when you've got a big, thick pipe to weld on for that reason. Nice job getting it to pass!
*👀To be fair to the Guy that put the root in, at least He's trying. I always "root" for the underdog. I have seen too many jobs where so called "Welders" that can't weld get hired on just because they know someone that can get them on the payroll. They manage to get through the whole shut down without doing any welding at all. If you don't weld you don't get any repairs. 🙄*
You absolutely right bud, and unfortunately every site is filled with those people.
Nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍 welding bro
Was doing some spool fabs In the plant, took over for a welder (tube welder, new to pipe and walking the cup) after he put a root and hot pass in. Well I didn’t check it and just finished it up. Well I checked inside for whatever reason and was horrified to see the root. Had to GRIND into it and burn the angel wings and fix a couple spots. Learned a valuable lesson that day lol. Great video brother. Half the battle of welding is knowing how to fix mistakes in my opinion
That’s right buddy, you have to know how to fix, and be able to recognize potential problems.
how do you get your arc shots? keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
❤
After you grinded the root how much metal was left in millimeters? How you made sure the root had full penetration?
It was impossible to know if his root had full pen, and honestly I didn’t want to know that! I was just trying to get rid off any indications on the outside .
Ola Guerreiro.. Sou Tig no Brasil mais especificamente Rio De Janeiro , como é o trabalho ai De Soldador TIG ? Des de ja meus parabens pelo belo trabalho
Ya I appreciate how much you didn’t throw the guy under bus. I know 9018 9percent &12percent very hard to learn not something that you should put someone on with no experience right. Company should have not done that Welding foreman etc. it’s kind of nice that you can film your own work I sure wish I could bro . Good video
Hi man, I'm starting TIG welding and I'm wondering why are you doing hot passes 2 and 3 starting by the top one ? At school and the company I'm in, they told me to start multipasses by the bottom one who will support the top one. Thanks.
It’s a matter of habit, bottom up is, let’s say school way, nothing is wrong with that.
Could you do a 2inch 6g stainless please
Can you make a video of running a root and hot on chrome please!!
I hate coming in to mess from day or night shift. Atleast grind it smoothe and run a thin and clean hot pass before allowing another welder to see that trash. Some individuals just don’t take pride in their work. Your name/reputation is everything in this industry.
💯 % agree
In my time when to tackel repairs,always used dye check to be sure to remove all shit from root ,before start to repair😊
Do work for the company or self employed?
Love your work man !!
I’m working as employee at the moment
Is craze crack happening now?
*I'm surprised QC didn't get you to grind a little window to have a peak at the root. Why waste all that time grinding the root, hot passing, filling and capping it and X-Raying it if the root is no good.*
It was closure weld procedure, so welding foreman was with him, watching him doing root for 12 hours, lol, which is mind blowing, as I said, I don’t blame welder, but definitely foreman.
@@X3MTIG Well, at least He now has 12 hours more Tig field welding experience than He had before.
@@livepost6986 yeah, if you look at it that way, but I don’t think he learned much out of it.
@@X3MTIG Who knows, maybe He is the Foreman's "Buddy" and no matter what He does He won't get fired. All kinds of crap goes on in the field.
@@livepost6986 👆👌
Golden weld of doom.
Odlicno si ti to popravio, a ovaj prvi nema blage veze s tigom, cudo zivo da su mu uopce dali da vari🤦🏻♂️
Blage je pre blago, 😂, najfascinantnije je debili koji su ga gledali 8 sati kak se muci 🤯
One thing didn't like doing is repairing other peoples welds. But did any way. Hope it shoots.
are you in america or europe ? love the vids as always 👍🏻
Canada
Great job, so the same guy who did the root pass is about to do the cap pass?🤔👀
Exactly, 🫣
Maybe this person is good with capping and struggling with his root.
thought you couldn't burn out porosity with tig
You can if it’s on the surface, but anything deeper you have to grind out
Thanks!
You should cut through the root pass to inspect🙂
Hello buddy, what happened with hoddie giveaway? Did u cancel it?
Hey bro, no I didn’t cancel it, just forgot to publicly announce who got the hoodies. Thanks for reminding me, I will do that in community chat!
@@X3MTIG community chat? What do u mean? Have u open any discord channel or anything else which i don’t know?
@@tata2692 it’s a section on my CZcams channel
Im suprised the inspector didnt call it a cut out. If you cant see that root what are the chances thats going to pass x ray?
I know you cleaned it up and hot passed it but if he has IP or LOF i dont think you would fix that on the hot pass. You did mentioned your name would be nowhere near it and the inside of the root isnt your problem which is fair. Did it pass x ray?
That welder needs to put the torch down period
I aspire to be a tig welder of your caliber.
Not mad at the welder!! bruh when you don't know how just say so I've always done that don't care what the old timer says, lol
No good man ... no good
No good at all
My main task it to grind it all out fuckin ay
Why not taking the root out if its x rayed...you gonna have to do it anyway if fails ...but than i understand why not. .
Плохо что нет перевода на русском. Я так понял кто варил накосячил. а ты будешь переделывать?
I’ll see what I can do about that!
Список тебе что обратил внимание на русскоязычных. Хотя-бы титры поймут мне тебя понимать. Ещё раз спасибо тебе 🫱🏻🫲🏼
