The fact you give this information out so precise, organized, and FREE makes you my hero
Fact
The number one reason for protective clothing is to prevent any current to flow into or through your body. Never put bare skin on a project when welding. PERIOD!
Just starting to TIG weld at age 62. This video was a very good starting point. Informative, nicely paced and a presenter with a friendly manner. Thanks. I shall be your student for as long as it takes.
Ive been tig welding since 1962, and have listened to a lot of instructors and wannabes. Your series of videos give better information.....(solid information)....... than any other that I have seen or heard. Good Job. Newbees need all the quality information they can get..
I am a bit embarrassed to admit it, but a few years ago I purchased a tig welder. Try and try as I could I just could not get the hang of adding rod to the puddle and moving at steady pace. Hell I had a problems establishing a puddle! The end result was always the same. Welds looked like a dogs butt, The metal was cooked and I was very frustrated... My new tig welder sat there for two years and was a constant reminder of my failure to gain basic skills to learn how to tig weld.
At the end of last year I promised myself that in the new year I would learn how to tig weld. My son stopped by the house and gave me pointers on the basics of welding and it made all the difference in the world.
Within a few days of his help I saw one of your welding videos. You covered all the same basics and mentioned using 3/32' tungsten. I had been using 1/16" and realized I was upping the amps to melt the rod but also cooked the metal! Lastly, you said...I was trying to decide if I should mention this, but I will anyway. If you can't see the puddle you can't weld!! Too funny but true. I bought a clearview hood and it made all the difference in the world. The end result is I am now able to consistently weld without making all the past mistakes. I have confidence when I weld. If I have a problem, I can diagnosis the problem and correct it.
So, if you are just starting out, know that if a guy who is just south of 70 can learn to tig weld so can you!
Dan would you mind helping me out with some info? I have been practising my tig for about 6 months and the biggest challenge to me is not being able to see the puddle easily. I am interested to know what hood you selected? I have still got my first hood and it isn't that great I dont think. There are so many on the market that how would you know which ones represent an improvement? Would you mind telling me which one you ended up getting?
@@simon9447
Is your hood an adjustable shade auto darkening? And what amperage are you welding at?
Awesome man keep it up
Dan Moreton .
Thanks for posting this.
Thanks Justin for your valuable videos. The fact that you don't annoy with loud heavy background music is a definite bonus. You are also a very talented welding, and this is coming from some one who started a mechanical apprenticeship in 1963. Love your work and will endeavor to watch all of your videos. Cheers from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia.
Wow. I have never gotten so much down to earth, simplified , and quality information as from this guy. I’m blown away!!! And I’ve watched a ton of Tig videos. Thank you, from all of us.
The Fabrication Series! gives this information out so precise and has an awesome Intel man, Thanks for your videos
I love your no bullshit approach that cuts through all the crap that's out there on CZcams. This is just what I needed. Thanks.
,, n..
Thank you so much for this video #TFS! I asked you for this quite a while ago and was concerned you had forgotten. This was everything I needed to get into TIG. Again thank you so much. It means a lot coming from a reliable source.
nice to hear a no bs discussion about the basic equipment staying "calm" during the initial work with the setup!
The best twenty minutes I've spent in a long time. Thanks and keep them coming.
Love the videos man. You Have a natural sensible approach to teaching, words and advice that make sense and honestly easy to remember. Good job
Best starter, new TIG owner video I have seen, Thank you!! I needed a lot of the information you posted
thank you for taking time uploading this video. happy new year~~appreciated
Amazing information, I've watched this video several times and I still learning some details. Congratulations.
Wow! I’m just about to start tig welding. The info in this video answers everything I wanted to know. Thanks!
Man I appreciate your approach to videos. Clearly you teach - you’re good at it man!
I was so excited when my first everlast welder arrived at my home. I have learned how to weld a bit and am loving it
Amazing video! I've been eager to learn welding for a while, and this actually helps a lot
Very clear, very concise. An excellent starter video. Thank you for taking the time to make it so full of useful information.
Merry Christmas Justin, and thank you for all your videos. You are one FANTASTIC TEACHER. Thanks a million!
The best No BS intro to tig video i have seen on youtube. Subbed! Oxy, Mig & Stuck for 40 years and now I'm looking to buy my first tig this year and was looking for information... think its time to binge watch your channel.
Best info and guidance for tig welding...period.
Thanks. I didn’t know where to start, but this video did give me the confidence to get going.
I've been watching all these videos for over a year while saving for my TIG welder. Really great series. Appreciate all the info and keen to finally get started welding myself
Great video with great info, thanks for taking the time to share. Cheers
Great vid!! Getting my first TIG in a few days!! To the point with no BS!! Love it !!
YES! Thank you for putting this video together. Very good, and detailed information. All wrapped up in one package. And, I just got my first torch for my multi-process for Christmas.
Amazing! That's exactly the kind of introduction I was looking for! After watching 10 other videos this one finally answered all my questions. Thank you!
This is the most informative and digestible tig video on CZcams. Thank you very much.
Cheers mate, watchin from Australia and been so helpful so far. You make it simplified for people trying to over complicate it..
Really helpful - most importantly by telling us what DOESN'T matter. Clear, concise and effective. Thanks.
This is very helpful! Thanks for assembling this video
Thank You and Merry Christmas!
Great information and Justin delivers it well! Thanks
What an excellent presentation!
I like what you said about using a furrik cups, etc, to mask results. I feel the same way and I'm glad you said it. Keep it up!
That definitely helped me because I was getting swept up in the gas lens and fancy cups propponents on the internet. This will make my decision on what welder to buy much easier and hopefully my start in TIG welding will be a good one.
Subbed! Love your plain honesty.im new and you told me exactly what I needed to know.thank you
I went through SOOOOOOOOOOO much tungsten and argon when i was learning to tig. Argon and consumables are a must!
Dude - I love your no BS style. that is SO helpful to those of us who are just starting out. I have learned so much from all of your videos and am trying to work out when I can come to LV and attend a class or two. Thanks for all you've done for the trade.
Sure appreciate the instructional videos you folks produce. Decided I wanted to learn how to TIG weld and you folks have been my "go to" source for info. Thanks again!!!
Thanks Justin, another brilliant informative video
The second video I've watched of yours both are excellent. This one will be the gold standard for reviewing as I learn to TIG. Thank you - Van
I am a beginner as far as tig is concerned. This video is just outstanding because it just lays out the basic bits and material to get going with tig. There’s absolutely none of this stuff about you have to use “blah blah” or you’re a dummy and you won’t be able to produce any sort of weld. It’s the best introductory video on tig welding that I have ever run across. Will this video make you an expert, nope. But it will simplify the overwhelming number of choices to get you started.
This is a goldmine of great information. Thank you!
I love how straight forward this guy is, thanks for being blunt and honest
Love your teaching technique very down to earth also love your attitude towards teaching keep up the good work.
Thank God I found this channel 🙌. You just saved me so much time and research
Great video Justin! You explain stuff so much better than 90% of the welders out there! Thanks for the video and keep them coming!!
Two weeks ago i got my first Tig machine, did an unboxing and started to teach myself! Perfect timing :D
In my opinion the best video on utube for intro to tigging. Thanks.
This information is Gold for a new welder like myself. Can’t thank you enough for putting this information available.
Brilliant delivery, no nonsense.
That was an excellent lesson for me; I am fixing to start TIG welding in September, and this will definitely help me. Thank you.
I've been mig welding for years and now I finally want to get into tig .... ive been watching your vids for a few weeks now and you give really good info for the beginner... 👍👍
Thank you Justin for the tip.....I will apply it right now!!!
Thanks! Good stuff for someone just about to get a first TIG!
Super helpful video it answered a lot of questions i have had on the subject. Great work.
Thank you SO MUCH! This is perfect for me. I just mail-ordered myself the cheapest AC/DC inverter-based welder I could find that didn't seem like a piece of junk (Eastwood TIG 200). I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail, so this video was absolutely *perfectly* timed for me. I was just starting to figure out what to put my beginner TIG shopping list, and then BAM! you made it for me. Love the videos, merry ecks-mas, and as always, I look forward to your next one!
I only recently started TIG'ing, so no surprise I've landed on these TFS vids. I wish I'd actually stumbled on this one prior to my first few days, b/c I would have been setup 3x faster and had 100% more confidence (and less anxiety). Even now being into it a little, so much to learn, and really love the way you present the info. Somehow you always manage to speak exactly to questions I have in my head.
I’ve been in the trade for ten years now but haven’t been full time on the tig except when I was welding pipe. I’m looking for a cheap tig machine for my garage to bring in some side work and found this video. I have to say that you’re spot on with the hood discussion and I agree with your big cup logic 100%! Keep up the awesome videos dude!
This video was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
fantastic video.... Thanks Justin.
Great video Justin even though I knew this info still good to know or recommend to someone starting out. Merry Christmas to you and your family
To be very honest, I regret not looking at this video in July when I originally purchased my mig/tig combo lol. I had to get someone to tig weld some exhaust portions of my car (custom fabricated exhaust piping, but I need to learn how to weld...i didn't have everything, so instead, I got a friend to weld up the parts for me). I plan on changing that up this year and learn how to TIG. I digress, great videos, I loved watching this. Welding certainly is not my career (I work in I.T.), but learning it seems exciting and would open the doors to multiple things that I cannot wait to accomplish when fabricating. I already have extensive knowledge with cutting on a torch and various methods of bending steal and fabrication (I like to mess around and build things), but never fully had been able to learn to TIG. I liked watching this content, keep up the great work!
I believe I subbed quite some time ago when I saw a video of a custom made exhaust manifold, as well. I don't ever plan on doing something this extreme (well, not yet at least lol), BUT I do like the notion of being capable of designing piping myself so I don't need to source expensive pre-designed piping.
very well explained and some great info thanks
A great back to basics grass roots video justin thanks heaps.Have a great xmas.
Very good information. This is exactly what I was looking for. Excellent presentation and no crazy stuff. I took a page of notes. Thanks again. Jake
I've played with TIG before, but finally bought my own. This was a perfect NO-BS primer for things that I need going in. Thanks, Justin!
I've got so much to learn! Thanks for an excellent "starter" video. It's been over 50 years since I first laid my hands on a arc stinger; now I'm going to start using TIG (if I can) and have more skills to utilize. Thanks for the great video, I learned quite a lot from it. We'll see if your advice stuck to this old codger!
Thank you so much for putting this video together, this answered so many questions and put some many decisions to rest. My favorite color is red and I found a great deal for a hundred pieces of red 3/32 tungsten on eBay real cheap.
Thanks for this info. I have always wondered.
Awesome Justin, thank you, I’m a newbie and this Chanel is providing me the real “good oil” managing my expectations and setting me up with fantastic guidance to get started and understand this wizardry , cheers
Good morning Justin. I must say you my friend are a great instructor. I have been a professional welder for 30 years and came across your site just playing on the net. what you bring to the welding trade for new people is amazing. keep up the great work. you can always learn and I have even learned new things from you. good job.

I've been watching your videos for a while and all of them are helpful,gr8 job keep'm coming bro.
Excellent video and content. I’m a know nothing beginner to TIG and this was just what I needed. Thank you.
Great video with great information 👍. Thank you!
Wow thanks for this video! Been mig welding for years but shopping for my first AC/DC TIG machine and found this video very helpful
Many thanks mate for your advises , really cool and helpful stuff.
Good stuff as usual... Have a good Christmas and New Year!
Returned my Harbor Frieght welding helmet for a Miller Digital Elite per your advice. Appreciate all the work y’all put in these videos.
So informative Justin.Hello and thanks from West Australia. So good.
Beginning my journey into tig welding this week, for the second time. (The first attempt ended in complete failure.) Thank you for preparing me so well. This time around I feel I can wade in there knowing how to set up my machine! Knowing what a weld puddle should look like and how and when to dab. Not to mention being able to purchase consumables with a degree of knowledge and confidence. And all of this for free!!?? WOW. So I send to you and your crew a very deep and very sincere, THANK YOU. Y’all rock!! Beer
on me should we ever meet.
Happy holidays from sLOVEnia 🇸🇮😊and thank you for all of the beginner videos.
Thank you for the check list of inventory items that I would need... Appreciate it!
Justin, just started welding 6mo ago. That is " I started taking it serious " and took an intro to welding at my local JC. Now ive played with ( emphasize the word play ) welding for years. But in the section of my class, when they taught GTAW, I fell in love. Now the class teaches only basic and then goes into plate and pipe. Havent taken those yet ( not planning a career change at 50+yrs old ) and thinking of perusing them just to get better. BUT in a long winded compliment.........I have learned more watching your videos, than taking ANY class. From machines to metals and every where in between. Thank you for what you do and who knows, maybe Ill make it to one of your classes, seeing were next door to each other ( CA/NEV ). Love ya brother and again THANK YOU and keep up the good work.
This is very much what I needed. Just got my first TIG machine and it’s pretty straight forward until you get into consumables. Hearing “get this and that’s it” is exactly what I needed to hear to get going. Thumbs up as always.
Hi Justin !
I followed your advice to the letter and did my first tig today with impressive results ... WOW your advice is incredible ! Well done Justin - brilliant video's and perfectly suited for every level of TIG welder.
well done , a great reference for starting out
Absolutely excellent info
Always very straight forward , I learnt a LOT watching your channel, huge thanks mate 🏆👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Justin, I got my new EXT210 last week and after watching many videos I have found yours to be the best. I finally lit it up tonight and thanks to your advice I not only survived, 😁 but I made decent progress in learning to TIG. A lot different than MIG, stick or gas, that's for sure. Thank you, Chuck.
Great information. Man, what a great teacher. Thank you.
Absolutely great video.
great video! real and straight to the point
