Jamie Hyneman On Welding in His Workshop

- The high shelves lining the walls of Jamie's workshop hold storage bins with build materials for every possible occasion, but the shelves themselves are fascinating as well. Jamie talks about how he designed and built these shelves himself--not with woodwork, but with welding.

Nah that's ok.
Nope, I’m good
no thanks
@@wyldelf2685 I was reading the Wikipedia article on Jamie the other day and he said he hasn't been in contact w/Adam for some time back in December 2021 😓 they have a sort of professional respect for one another but it seems like they aren't really close friends or anything. I wonder why that is 🤔 Jamie is way cooler than Adam and it's not even close 😅 but they make good content when they work together. I guess I can always rewatch old episodes of Mythbusters
Interesting of all the comments about the relationship between these two guys. Just because they had a hit show, and worked together, doesn't mean they're best buds. How many workmates do folks have, that maybe they work together great, but don't go bowling together? It could very well be their relationship doesn't need "fixing", maybe we all just need to respect their right to decide for themselves...
I love Jamie, instead of saying "Yes, we use these because they are the best ones in the market" he says, "Yeah, they sponsor us so we use their stuff". His sincerity is awesome.
This is so true. They were never shy about talking about the behind the scenes stuff and I really appreciate that about them. Very genuine.
It’s the law
@@richardc5100 this isn't a promotional piece. He doesn't have to disclose any of that on this video.
@@richardc5100 No it's not. This isn't a sponsored bit, he can say whatever he wants to.
Hobart is Miller's DIY and Farm line now.
Built on the same line as the Millers.
I suspect the big Millermatic is the one they owned before the sponsorship.
Hobart is good stuff.
Man, I really wish Jamie stayed with Tested. At least for short infrequent videos. I love his broad knowledge on a seemingly infinite range of topics.
Agreed. I just think he prefers working and doesn't like the finess of social situations. Socializing is difficult for some people. He's given a task, he does it, no complications. Makes sense he'd retreat to his projects over being on tested.
I presume that being a celebrity would cut too much into moustache maintenance time. Walrus impersonation on that level must take a lot of upkeep.
He just simply doesn't like working with Adam Full Time. He's been open an honest, he likes his solitude.
@@CoryMcIntyrePrsnTech Yes, but even your most dedicated gearhead loves talking about his toys and methods that he's having fun with from time to time.
it's crazy to see the old M5 shop, the Mythbuster nostalgia is strong, I wish Jamie did more videos of him doing stuff in his shop
I hope that one day Jamie decides to make his own CZcams channel and puts up random informative videos or whatever the heck he wants. Listening to him is fascinating.
I'd listen to him talk about his trip to the grocery store. I guarantee It would be a success
my favorite part was when and how Jamie said, "yeah you can read the manual."
Pros read the manuals. NEVER ignore the manual. ALWAYS read the manual. It's informative and keeps you safe.
One of the manuals that came with my welder had more stuff on electrical engineering than my HS education, which was pretty good.
RTFM always.
Sometimes it's translated from Chinese and not worth trying to read.
Unfortunately, modern manuals are generally more about limiting liability and less about actually teaching or informing.
@@kw9849 true but the information is still there.
If you think you know better than the people who made whatever it is you’re operating, 9 times out of 10, you’re a fool.
Jamie needs to have a show dedicated to just simply how-tos when it comes to things like this. I do similar stuff all day every day, he's just got a faster and easier way to do it, which is invaluable knowledge to me. Hell, I'd pay to have this sort of thing on TV, invaluable educational material.
this is the best document so far about the wild Hyneman in it's natural habitat
It's hard not to admire people like Jaime who knows what he loves, works hard to be good at it and turns it into a living.
Stunned by the fact that after 66 years on this rock, I finally understand how Mig welding works. Everything that Jamie explained makes perfect sense, and I'm thinking that, "Yeah... I could try that..." Wow... Welding... A new skill I could grow and add to my repertoire. Thanks Jamie!
The first time someone explained welding to me and I understood it on the first go. Jamie is a natural teacher: calm, collected, very methodical, takes his time, no nonsense approach. I can understand why Adam exacerbates him sometimes xD
Corristo89 He is like driving school teachers, they have that same calming effect!
Corristo89 Except he is dead wrong, hot glue is nothing like welding. Hot glue doesn't combine with the base material, a good weld with proper penetration will be indistinguishable from the base material and is sometimes stronger than the metal being welded. It's not difficult to explain he just treats his audience like they are 5 which is a good thing I guess because people are so daft these days.
+Lupus Mechanicus I both agree and disagree with you. Yes, the physics and chemistry of welding and hot glueing are very different. But in use it has many similarites. Like the grip is somewhat similar, a bonding material is kept withing the grip, and it is melted by heat and applied to the surfaces you want to join. I believe Jamie knows the physics and chemistry of welding, but he must explain it at a level that's appropriate for the audiance. That includes kids and people with little knowledge or understanding of technical matters. And keep in mind it was Will that first made the comparison to a hot glue gun.
Havar Eriksen Sorry I disagree, metals was a requirement at my middle school and an elective in high school. It is usually not the brightest kids who take it but they get a full rundown of metallurgy and 99% pass. This video was solely centered on welding he could do a little more than degrade the practice by calling it hot glue.
Otherwise you get people like Coristo89 that think they understand welding but there is about 100% more to it than was divulged in this video.
A genius can make the complicated simple While Still Explaining All the Parts.
+Lupus Mechanicus A little stuck up, aren't you? Did I ever claim that I suddenly understood everything about welding? Jamie said that there was a lot more to it than that, but those are the (very) basics. And this was never meant as an instructional video for welding. If that's what you're going for, then there are dozens of those here on CZcams.
But he got me interested and made me realize that welding isn't this weird craft only very few can actually do. If you're just going to weld to pieces of steel together to make a frame, then it's not exactly wizardry. Some learn it in school, at their job or in courses, others just start welding and are learning by doing. Welding gas-tight tanks? That's another thing entirely.
The hot glue gun was a decent analogy and it's basic principle is the same: Making two things stick together. Of course a hot glue gun uses an adhesive which won't necessarily stick very well on the material and doesn't fuse with it at all. Glueing smoothe plastic together is almost impossible. MIG welding is visually similar to using a hot glue gun, but TIG welding is technically a lot easier.
But this is how you start teaching: Reduce it down to the very basics, outline what it's about and then work your way up. If you get all "It's really hard and if you think you're starting to understand, then you're wrong!" right off the bat, then you're a bad teacher. I'm sure Jamie could go into more detail if he wanted to. But then again, this video was more about how he uses welding to make his job easier.
I don't know why I'm watching this after welding for 11 hours today.
Same here I have no idea why I watch welding videos when I get home after doing it for 10 hours a day
elijah rarrick yeah when you already know everything he is talking about and then some but it’s Jamie hyneman so you just keep listening
@@micahlatta1792 exactly. been welding since im 13 yrs old yet love hyneman explaining it
feels like we are 12 years old.. and looking in a company to see what kind of work they do there
Lol
I literally cannot get enough of Jamie teaching... about anything.
I have never seen this man appear so calm and pleasant before.
+Mr. Toolsofrenewal Adam's not there making a mess.
I'm really grateful to Jamie for doing this video... He's answered so many questions I had about his organizational skill, design principles and welding info all in one video.... Thank you, sir, I"m inspired.
I learned MIG, TIG, and arc welding in 7th grade. Everyone should know this stuff. Thanks for demystifying it!
dude is so awesome and honest. would be a interesting boss, tough but fair and knows his stuff and could explain anything and everything that a child could understand
Fantastic video. I'm re-entering the world of welding. Was a stick and gas welder back in the 70's in high school but didn't keep it up. Recently bought an entry level MIG welder and a acetylene set ups. The new masks are fantastic.
I could listen to Jamie talk about things like this for hours!
+Dan iel Same here, Hell I have been for the past 4 hrs lol
Dr. Phil's creampie lounge
, To each his own, I guess. I would love to have him as a teacher.
Ive has monotone teachers. Jamie has inflection and emotion that combines with a clear pronunciation and clarity of thought that many people could only dream of having.
@Dr. Phil's creampie lounge That's because you're a wigger with the attention span of a gnat.
After watching the neighbor do a quick weld, I did just what you said. I bought a cheap one and started playing. I've made all sorts of cool stuff.
Adam: Today I'm making a prop gun from cyberpunk 2077!
Jamie: Today I'm going to weld a bracket.
And somehow they both present it in a way that we would be super interested in it
And so here I am wanting to learn how to weld a bracket so I can build a jig that will allow me to hold material used to make a prop gun from cyberpunk 2077. Strange and wondrous are the ways of makers.
I used one on the trail . LIFE SAVER! It kept us from being in the cold for an extra day waiting on a geny and a welder. Not to mention the trail was blocked by the rig. I was really impressed, almost shocked.
Journey man welder here. Please wear gloves arm coverings and a proper mask when you weld especially if you intend to do so more than once. Welding produces powerful harmful UV light which can cause serious damage to skin and eyes repeated exposure to high power UV light raises risk of skin cancer. Be safe out there. Otherwise Jaimie is pretty spot on with all this.
We use all Hobart stuff...two Millers in the background.
Hobart = Miller
Hobrat is not miller. They are both owned by the same company but they both have completely separate engineering departments. Imo Hobart is a cheaper welder more for home use.
@@MadMetalShop Yes, Hobart is Miller's economy line..
Miller is for drinkin and lincoln is for making money for those drinks
Yeah, yeah right. I suppose if you don't know any better.
Really love that table. It's the right size for standing, narrow when you need to save space and expand or have two tables when you need it, and because it's sqaure steel tubing as oppose to wood construction it's pretty sturdy. Could have one of these in my garage and still have space for my car.
can we talk about the fact that there is 5 boxes labeled food... and only one says fake.
wow
I'm pretty sure they've got a couple labeled 'dark matter' xD
For the zombie apocalypse. Like now.
9:20 Only some welding masks are dark enough for eclipses. The darkness has to be a shade 12 or higher, so most masks will still let damaging amounts UV light in.
My automatic helmet goes to 13.
@@scotcoon1186 thanks for sharing buf
I've a friend who was in a welding training course and the trainer messed up with the mask somehow, and he literally lost all vision in one eye and like 80% in the other. It's come back a bit now but has been like 5/6 years and he's still suffering big time over it.
Your demonstration regarding shelf items and such, is far more entertaining ( and I assume that is rarely what you and the Savage man are ever attempting to do ) than introducing the concept of the "glass age" for Corning Worldwide. Welcome back HyneMann!!!
Always wonderful to see Jamie show up in these videos
I could've sworn you said you were going to show us how the shelves were assembled.... would've been interesting for those of us that want to learn welding and need some new garage storage :)
Very interesting, also pretty amazing that they made all the shelving by themselves in a few days.
Awesome, I love this series. Make more, please!
Thanks, Wil, Jamie and crew!
I can now say Jamie Hyneman taught me how to weld.
That's actually really encouraging. I've always wanted to learn to weld, so mig welding looks easiest.
Just got to get a decent one, some basic gear, figure out what I'm doing, and then go do the 6-week course for a qualification in it.
Jamie explained many things very well. Thankyou for this. Still good in 2018
Thank you for sharing this knowledge with us Jamie and Will!
not even gonna cap, but i swear i am the best at stick welding, ever since my metalwork teacher taught me, the first time i welded he was blown away, and now i am addicted
That battery welder is awesome!
Much better than getting 3 car batteries from your buddy's trucks and linking them together to arc weld.
I'd love some plans on that nesting work table...that's awesome!!!
Weeeell....the inner table is 1 inch less wide than the outer table. The outer table has 3 sides. The inner table has 4. You're all set.
Cool, I know Jamie isn't a fan much of publicity these days, but I love stuff with him in it.
Never realized how many products Hobart actually makes. I work in a meat department and we have several Hobart machines. The main one being our grinder. Our old Hobart grinder crapped out so we had to order (over night) a brand new one. Cost our store.... well... A LOT OF MONEY. Let's just say well over $9,000. And now I learn they make portable mig welders. They must have some damn smart and talented engineers working for Hobart.
Hobart is everywhere! It is nuts. They make some really good kitchen equipment and sanitation equipment. Their welders are actually really good bang for your buck welders too. Not the best, but for the price they are hard to beat often.
Grinder and paint, makes me the welder I ain't.
@nuff said It makes me wanna come all over.
My go-to phrase
Bondo.
It'll polish out
@@barrackobama5470
I wonder where he found a welding hood that fit a seeing eye dog.
Very interesting. I just learned more about welding in this video then I knew before.
+McRocket then you must've known NOTHING about welding?
I didn’t realise how much I miss Jamie
Excellent intro. I will be buying a welder in the fall, and this gives me the confidence that, with a little practice, I can get some simple projects done. I took welding classes decades ago and the helmet visor was always an issue for me. I will be buying one of those neat new types!
Welding is intimidating. Your first welds are going to be ugly. But like anything else, it takes practice. But if you're just looking for a solution, ugly welds are fine. The beautiful welds is where you find the pros.
Aluminium is great for making custom tables for greenhouses. It is super easy to cut and drill, you can bolt it all together and you dont need any special machine or tools really. It never rusts and is strong enough to hold pots etc.
"I can practically fill this whole room with table surface." thats so great lol
I could listen to Jamie explaining things all day long.
I love welding. If any of you are in high school I definitely recommend taking metals class if they have welding in their course... it's a very awesome experience
Jamie is a legend. I grew up to watching him, Adam Savage, and Bill Nye. My heroes :D
Some
Omar El-zayatie *Same.
+Viking War Pickle *Shame.
+Dillon Flannery I lolled but he helped a lot of kids get interested in science. He's a "MR. Wizard" of his time
What? Bill Nye the fascist guy, poser scientist?
Excellent point. In addition, an auto-darkening hood won't auto-darken from sunlight. It takes an arc to trigger the LCD's electronics.
Jamie is very relaxing to listen to. x)
Wanted to say thank you for making this video. Found it very informative. I always had wanted to weld but was a little afraid of it. Watching this video gave me the confidence to go out and purchase a cheap unit and try it out. Hope to see more videos like this in the future =) - Rick
Most people wear gloves but Im okay with the pain
+slenderfiles six Had a giggle at that one too, only because im the same :)....and iv suffered for it just the same.
+slenderfiles six Where there is no sense there is no feeling - what a pratt.
+David Richards spatter probably only causes minor burns on skin
+Scott Phillips only third degree burns.
probably only causes minor burns?
im guessing you havent tried welding anything other than tig.
and that pain comment :)
some people might actually think thats the case, but unless you want a nice tanned skin after one minute of welding, i suggest putting on some protection..
6:32 "We have all Hobart stuff." Huge Miller directly behind the little Hobart haha
I will never do use of this but I still really enjoy learning about it.
look awayyy! *looks away* that looked really easy
+Xienixnlpsc 100 welders and only 1 shield....
Stupid
finally watching a Jamie video on Tested!!
Jamies workshop, is like a huge playroom. with all the toys and gadgets you will never need.
Thanks Jamie! I'm going to school in just a few months to learn how to stick, TIG, and MIG weld and this helped me a lot and i appreciate the encouragement!
+Tommy Cochran Good luck with it, dude. A bit of advice: "Stick" Welding is called Arc Welding. TIG stands for Tungsten Inert Gas. MIG stands for Metal Inert Gas.
You'll feel like a god when you get good at TIG Welding. The beads look so freaking pretty.
Also, make sure to take notes on what Amperage and Voltage you should use according to the material and thickness. Very handy when first starting out.
Thank you for the advice dude, appreciate the support!
Very hard to explain an art like welding to someone who is has no experience in welding. Good job Jamie, anyone who's looking into welding I would recommend starting off with Stick, it's hard to master and it will set you up for success.
lol Hobart sponsors them but he has mostly millers
true but imagine a chevy commercial where all you see is gmc's driving around they have the same parent company but its still would be a little strange
steven bloomfield it would be because none of the chevys are actually running
They are both the same company.
Hobart and Miller are owned by the same parent company. When Hobart was sold, anti-trust regulations required division of the company to avoid creating a monopoly. The light/medium duty Hobart lines went to ITW and the suitcase feeders and heavy industrial (now discontinued) lines went to Thermadyne. Hobart and Miller machines often share parts, with Miller leaning more to industrial equipment.
Well, Miller has so much higher quality that I would pay for their machines over most others even if the other was free. Atleast if I welded for a living.
After using my Dads miller TIG welder after a cheap one, the hardest part of laying a laying a proper bead was getting the thickness setting right on stuff like round tubing.
thank you. love mythbusters. i have been interested in doing some welding. nice to learn how you guys do it.
DKP3000 watch welding tips and tricks or weld.com. This video is terrible. I’m going to throw up
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how the host is ultra simplifying jamies work. and seeing jamies body posture and tone vary whence he is annoyed by him.
everything he said is right. im a boilermaker and do it for a living . any small jobs like tables shelving at home a little mig is just the ticket for any one.. the best tip is how to set up ur welder ..what ever it... we dont read manuals.. we keep notes on weld settings and what works for our own styles..and different positional welding. the same machine for one boilermaker does mean his settings will work for myself. we also weld everyday items that need alot of attention and experience. how many times you cross a bridge or enter a skyscraper or see a semi trailer or walk over a walkway . catch a bus. train or boat? see containers. mining cars. welders keep the world happening.. and safe
when setting up ur mig.. pick an amperage
then adjust wire speed as ur pulling trigger. once u get sizzling bacon,, ur good to go.. once u find that ..increase heat a little bit..and wire speed a bit more.. always better to weld a bit hotter than you think
then its learning technique..different patterns u can do with the gun..and then the positional welds u have to do. but dont let any tradesman tell u,,that we dont weld horizontal.. if we can flip the job and make it easier..WE WILL.. we only do positional welds when job is too big or time comsuming to roll over..or if its stated in our weld procedures good luck people..welding is awsum
Awesome video guys. I would really love a drawing of the basic table framework so I can do the same kind of thing in my shop.
They're asking the sort of questions I would have. I find it beneficial.
Wow that much shelving in the days, that is awesome!
It's funny seeing all the welders in the comments all offended. Tbh MIG is relatively simple, most people can do it. Not everyone can set up the machine, or get proper penetration, but almost everybody is able to stick 2 pieces of metal together with a MIG gun. People get scared away from welding because people talk about it like it's this incredibly complex process when it's not. I'm not saying welders aren't important, I'm saying your normal MIG welding is not that complex. My grandpa worked at a welding fab company, most people there were felons that couldn't get any other jobs, granted they are all in a shop and not on job sites. Once you get into job site welding, or tig, or stick, or certified welding, then it's fairly complex. But sitting in a heated shop, welding 2 pieces of angle iron together isn't that hard.
@Doc Diddles a good welder understands that you should cover your gd skin too
Jamie's subconscious reaction : "This guy has the same gene pool as Adam -.- "
n.n
I think what's going though Jamie's Subconscious would be:

I could listen to Jamie talk shop all day.
Also, love those simple and functional tables.
I love Adam. I miss Jamie though. More serious stuff is good from time to time.
I wish they would actually show Jamie build an actual table. Come on guys (and Jamie) do a one day build.
One day? We're talking 60 minutes, tops. It's 22 pieces of steel and 28 welds.
Good stuff guys. Keep them coming
I'd like to see more Jamie videos!
Me: Complains of the pain when frying something and hot oil shoots on my hands.
Jamie Hyneman: Hold my welding machine.
Jamie is probably thinking "...all the stuff we can talk about, and you want to discuss my shelving.... really?"
I learned welding in 8th grade in my Ag class using the old-fashioned way Jamie talks about here. We all got pretty good in that class, but it does take quite a bit of practice.
I just LOVE that table!
Once my workshop is built i'll be knocking up a couple myself
You're doing it wrong. You mean "knocking out". "Knocking up" is a completely different thing and is generally to be avoided.
Will: You could use the mask to stare at the sun
Jamie: Uh sure if you want to
lol
The only reason I have a shop in the back of my house, is because of watching Mythbusters.
I follow up video would be great! I have been wanting to get into welding and this brief but concise overview was great. A second video showing us how to cut and weld one of those expandable shop tables would be excellent!!!
Omg I think it's so crazy when people who know a little about something know better then anyone else..... I'm sure anything you guys can say about welding Jamie knows already. I'm not saying he is all knowing but if you know it chances are he knows it. Maybe people should just enjoy the videos and be happy we get to see them at all....
"Hobart sponsors us"
two Miller machines in the back
They are both owned by ITW.
Hobart is now their DIY brand, Miller is aimed at (and priced) for the pros.
Up until a few years ago Hobart welders came with Miller guns.
Literally.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that noticed how often he used that word... literally.
Sir Regan I love Jamie and all, but he's not the best speaker, with all the ums and uhhs
like, he used it all the time.
Awsome! more of these please!
This is video is what made me get a MIG welder and start welding. It's true that theres a lot more to it to get proper welds, I would never weld anything crucial etc on my car. But for small projects it really is as easy as pushing the trigger
Jamie doesn't clean his MIG tips very well =O
RoxyLuffer I know it makes my OCD spike up a little bit. I'm a shop monitor/assistant to a professor at the university I go to and one of my jobs is to maintain the machines. I have to clean them all the time so when I see one that's messed up, I automatically go "MUST CLEAN" but I can't because it's on the internet. Lol
+mgpBLARG he has been using the tool long enough that he knows the clean up routines for a welding machine. I'm not certified either, and I know from my time in the welding lab at my old school how to keep them clean. It's really simple. also, I was a cleanup "foreman" in the school's welding shop when I was there for class
+mgpBLARG He's also a professional, which probably explains why they're not cleaned off very well.
***** a professional would keep his mig tips clean, a dirty mig tip promotes bad gas flow. If the shielding gas isn't there in its' entirety, you'll get a bad weld. you don't know how welding works.
+RoxyLuffer I'm sure he'll clean them when he feels it's necessary. Don't worry.
JesterNR1 You're talking about gas shielded flux core. Flux Core is similar to MIG but its not the same, there both wire fed processes but very different. Short circuit MIG is considered a cold process and generally has little penetration, it is not recognized by the AWS (American Welding Society) and therefore is not used on anything structural. Spray arc and globular transfer are however. Flux Core is much different, the arc is much hotter and deeper penetrating, Flux Core can produce very strong and sound welds, and is commonly used for critical applications. What Jamie didn't mention is that with MIG the settings are very important. Once the machines set its easy going, but knowing how to set it up can take some practice.
AWS offers d1.1 structural certifications in MIG.
You could tell his feed rate was wrong, and choppy.
7CConstitution he was doing it off hand and therefore so unstable that the problem could have been caused by shakiness, yes it did sound wrong
He probably didnt want to explain all of this too this guy whos never welded before
Jared Rippy yeah... I laughed when he said that too...
Jamie Hyneman would be the most BOSS Shop teacher of all time. You would have a whole new generation of craftsmen if he were the one teaching.
Love that table concept
Some welders got really hurt watching this video.
Why’s that?
Yeah🤣🤣
J Fitz Jamie is your average mig “welder”
I’m cringing man.....
What is up with you people? You're like a cult.
Hey Tested, Any chance you could share a more detailed description of those awesome shelves youve made with the one inch square tubing.
Tables too.
Yeah, totally agree. As a welding primer, even with a few technical inaccuracies, it gets across the important point that welding is THE most useful fabrication technique one can know, and that for welding simple projects, the learning curve isn't that great. It's a good, simple explanation to pique people's interest in welding.
However, when the video starts it seems like it's making it very clear that they're going to show you how to build the shelves. There are a million welding primers on the internet, but nothing on Jamie's unique, efficient, cheap shelf design, and that's what I really wanted to learn about. Even with the tables, they didn't really show any closeups of the joints or overall structure so that you could easily replicate the design.
As someone who knows how expensive and limiting prebuilt shop shelves can be, yet has a ton of them out in our shop, it would have been extremely useful to know how Jamie built such effective ones so easily. I'd love to see a video focusing on that now that they've got the welding primer out of the way.
kdawg3484 The most useful fabrication technique one can know for metal*
Jamie is so interesting. He’s like a monotone professor that is just expressive enough to have everyone listening
Great video, thanks
