Jody, you are definitely the OG CZcams weldor! I've been watching you for years, and buy stuff from your site when I can. Im just a hobbyist welder, but your lessons, information and commentary have helped me tremendously over the years. Thank you so much for the work you put into the welding & fabrication community.
Thanks very much
The guru of welding, hi from Australia. We learn a lot from you and teach the tricks at school
Love the video!
To my welders out there, if you're not using a prop, you're not living!
Store bought or homemade. Get one in service! You can make one with a couple pieces of tubing, a nut and bolt, and a base plate. All stuff I'm sure the majority of us have in the scrap bin...
As a welder I learned very early that one of the best tools you can have is a simple set of chain vise grips. The chain will wrap around what you are welding giving you a steady rest and it's easily moved to new positions as required. I had single chain grips, double chain, triple chain and quadruple chain grips in my tool box. If necessary you can even link them together for additional length. When welding large diameter pipe or small vessels a good tool to have is a short length of angle iron with a small diameter pipe (Say 1 or 1 1/4" diameter) welded to it at 90 degrees along with a small come along. You set the angle on the pipe like a vee block and warp the come along chain around and back to itself and snug it up loosely. Place the vee block where you want it for support and tighten up the chain. This support will hold literally hundreds of pounds without slipping or moving and can quickly be re-adjusted to a new position. I've used this tool to weld up to 72" diameter piping with no problem and my roots and surface caps looked like I was sitting at bench.
One of the keys of getting good consistent welds is good solid supports to keep you steady. A good welder knows this and uses it to his advantage.
Mr. Collier, thanks 4 coming back to the CZcams community. I do not think you know how many people across this planet you have positively influenced, especially me. I am employed with an art gallery and art mounts have 2 be secure. You have definitely helped better my welding.
Well thanks but I never really left CZcams. I am still working on welderskills.com with several other instructors but also post here
That MK positioner is awesome. Pretty tall though, it definitely helps to have something to prop on. ABC's of Welding!
Excellent video. One of the things I have been doing with my students is a whole lesson building the tools for TiG welding.
Thanks Jody. I appreciate this guidance. "trying to pay attention to the three main things that make TIG welding go better... a tight arc, not too much torch angle, and keeping the hot tip of the filler rod shielded"
I’ve used props , clamps as a prop. This is a well thought out and executed prop.
Thank you for the video
Thanks for all your teaching Jody.
I learnt to weld (home gamer) stick and then lift tig just from your videos. Wanted to do aluminium, had a bunch of people tell me it was too hard. After about an hour of mucking around with the AC settings got some good results. Good fun. Thanks man 👍
Once again,thanks for all your tips🤗😎🤗😎
Been watching these videos since 2010 probably the best welding advice I’ve ever had, learned a lot and appreciate it Mr Jody, grabbed a few sets of TIG fingers over the years, I use almost every weld 🙌🏼🙌🏼🤙🏼
Mr Jody I have been welding for 40 yrs owned my own shop all those yrs I am now retired .I watch your videos all the time and still after all these yrs I am STILL learning from you!!! Thank You for you Knowledge (BTW I own a Few of your tigfingers Had them for years )
Keep up your great work .
You are the You Tube Welding OG .
Lesson learned, point well taken!
Thank you JODY!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Propping always keeps my shaky hand steady😉
A good homemade prop is to use EMT conduit. Easy to bend and they have couplers for mounting and connecting tubes together. I have several different degree's of bends at different leg lengths. You can combine to create the best rest for the job
True Godfather of welding. OG al cienon no cap 💯 👏 🔥
Thanks, Jody! I have the strong hands setup, which works well if it's set up so that the magnet has good mechanical advantage. I may try Roy's home made rest as well; here (as for the strong hands) I'd suggest threaded knobs for quick, secure repositioning
Thanks for sharing with us Jody, excellent set up for sure. Fred.
Good to get regular content
Learnt alot from you years ago
Keep em coming 👍
Im not a welder. Ive always wanted to be one. I just never put forth the effort, due to life, laziness & lack of funding. All of that said. I learn a lot from your content sir. Thank you for sharing your master craftsmanship with the world.
That's everyone's excuse 🙄.
@@AlphaFlight Hahaha. Yeah it probably is.
Great video! I really need to get or build a prop.
It seems to me, a joint of some kind you can adjust and lock at the base or in the bracket on the vertical of the prop would make it even more versatile.
Then you could tilt the prop arm and give it some angle if needed.
Love it! Nice shots, Great tips!
Great job, thank you brother. You are so talented
Thats looks like it might work out just fine
Thanks Jody!
Always brilliant 👍👍👍
You are best welder in world
Been thinking about getting some of the cast aluminium handrail fittings and lengths of handrail tube to make an adjustable rest. Maybe have a vertical on my bench with a cast t piece connector holding the horizontal with the grub screws swapped for bolts with bar welded to them to handles.
That’s about as simple and adjustable as I can think for a non mobile application.
Anyone have any other ideas or improvements?
Thanks
I would suggest DIY, having bought that strong hand tools support from your site 10 months ago
The wing nuts don’t do a good job holding the bars where you left them
I love my jazzy 10 cup! probably 80% of the time it's perfect for what i'm doing, and i get almost colorless welds on stainless. today i had to break out my xl cups to get into a very tight corner, which would have been easier if i had a flex-head torch and i could have used the jazzy 10.
Very nice
Will uppdate mine soon
Bravo!!!!!
Wether positioning parts or an impromptu rest they make life easier.
Jody why you haven't used the yes welder mig-250 pro.
4:40... Roy has a lot of undercut. Anyway I for sure am building one
Ive always thought a prop like an oversized Noga flex indicator arm would be perfect.
cool
Maybe someone here can help me out I’m pretty new to welding so sorry if this is a dumb question, why won’t my welding wire come out “centered” or straight out of my welding tip?
Smooth tig finger plug there lmao 🤣
Wish I had some spare money for one, inflation in Baltics has been fucking me hard
🙏
👍👍👍
What? Being comfortable actually is a good thing? :)
👌👍🥇
