- This is an inside look at one of the many videos I created for Welder 101! This welding course I have been working on focuses on showing you the basics of MIG welding and sharing my welding experience over the past 30 years. There is more than 10 hours of video showing you exactly how to weld in Welder 101. We launch on September 19th and I hope to see you in there!

What project would YOU weld together?! Comment below
mad max,s v8 interceptor
The iron rod is my favorite build so far. And would love to build a custom welding rig like that and make it work in the cold state of Minnesota.
DEUCE N HALF MAD MAX/END OF THE WORLD VEHICLE.
Learning to weld would be awesome in itself! Then my first project some bad a- bumpers for my 05 Cummins.
Since we live in the Mountains, a project similar to the Old Logging Truck you guys did a couple 2-3 yrs ago....Something Big and Loud, Gear Drive Transfer case with PTO for pulling yourself or others out of trouble but mainly to skid logs from a ways off the Trail to the Truck for firewood or "other" uses or projects.
A stump puller of a Diesel to put power to the ground but still be able to get to and from the Mountain Trails in a hurry if need be, of course really Tall but narrow rubber to get you through snow, mud, rocks as well as relatively smoothly down the Highway. Fabricate storage for all the tools and cables and straps a guy might ever want or need. Make it preferably a 1940's vintage Truck Cab to start with and incorporate it into a pkg. that looks like it was built that way clear back when but for whatever reason they didn't lol. Fabricate places to carry all my Chainsaw/Bar combos that need to be secured during travel to and from the woods. Maybe a vise on the bed that can be used to clamp the Bar to facilitate sharpening the chain on the saw. Maybe even a electric bench mounted Chain Sharpener when you start dulling the chains in the rocks when bucking up the logs ?
Of course a generator for power would be a needed option as well as a rear mounted cable winch to skid logs from the back as well....it would be like the ultimate off road rough country logging truck. Make the shifters out of old logging tools and the interior door and window handles out of similar items....kinda like a hopped up old skool but functional everyday useable bad ass to the bone log getting machine!
That is exactly what our Son and I would build and get honestly hundreds of hours use out of but like alot of guys....money to do all this don't grow on trees so it will just have to remain a dream project I figure but man just think how much Father/Son time our boy and I would get out of building and using something like this.....see I guess we kinda go against the grain because our Son and I have a great relationship and really enjoy working on things as a team.....It's because of this I have been lucky enough to be passing on all the knowledge my Grandfather took the time to teach me....I am now passing on to him....he's already a decent Blacksmith and Welder....were currently working on his very first complete Small Block Chevy build from tear down to start 'er up....he's learning everything to piece together a really strong Small Block using all early GM swappable parts....327 crank in a 350 block the right rods and domed pistons, how to find a good set of 202 power pack heads and how to do a complete rebuild of them plus how to port and polish, remove the pressed in 3/8" valve spring studs and install threaded 7/16" studs for bigger and better springs that can handle a good size roller Cam...you get the picture I'm sure Steve....I even had him build a Holley 750 double pump carb from a big box of spare parts I had....we have already tested it on our old K-5 Blazer he drives and he did a fantastic job.....I had to do very little adjusting to it to have it running like a new one.
Thanks Again Steve for all the fantastic Videos we really enjoy them.
R.C. "Charlie" Hill and Son.
P.S. sorry the post was so freakin long.....lol.
Thanks Steve !
As always straight up honest stuff.
I am in my early 60's My Grandparents Raised me and my older Brother and Grandpa worked for Mobile Oil building Bulk plants and later Gas Stations....I could honestly run a Cutting Torch before I could ride a Bike ! My summers were spent someplace in the West and Mid West from Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, etc working with my Grandpa....so I fully understand and appreciate where your coming from and your doing a great thing here my friend.....greater than I think you might realize yet.
Thanks Again.
Been to Welderup many times and have seen the stuff that Steve has made. Steve is definitely a real craftsman and a super cool guy. He has taken his time out to talk to my wife and I when we have been there. If you are thinking about taking his welding class then its a no brainer. Just do it and you will be grateful that you did.
I love the welding truck and that style is very cool it has everything you need for a welding project
nothin better then a metal glue gun
Love your chanel man!
Wish I had this kind of inspiration when I was a kid to go be a welder.
Better late than never I guess
From all the car guys on the world you Steve are the best because of your rust art. Keep them coming mate.
Thanks Pixo Bixo, for your comment. It's appreciated!
Steve i want to thank you! I finally got started on my obs rat rod project i got it running and done alot so far and i have you to thank for the encouraging words awhile back so thanks man
Your Welcome Brody, It's nice to know that what I do helped in your Rat Rod project. It's creative and keeps my brain thinking all the time.
Steve, where did you go " Man" I've been waiting for " New Content" for a Month Allright I'm Glad your Back, " No Harm, No Foul "!! Dean( SC)
I love those stacks on your welding rig.
I love the WW2 era too.
That welder is just like the Lincoln "torpedo ". For uphand joints I like to use a 6013 for the root pass, it's a little softer than the 7018 so it burns a deep pass, then the 7018 for strength and it's pretty as long as you can weld dimes!
A man with his tools and his toys. A good welder is worth his or her weight in gold. I am terrible welder but I am a very good designer.
I finally finished my first rod build and much of the inspiration came from your work.
That is awesome!
I'm building the same thing from scrap and a f350 with 460. I'm using my girlfriend's phone but got excited seeing a project like mine.
Welding is the best thing you could do for yourself. I myself got into welding back in the 70s I was to broke to pay someone to weld my junk together and along the way, I made a few bucks. I'm happy I did.
Mr. Darnell and WelderUp crew
Just started my first year apprenticeship schooling this week. Only been welding for just over a year and looking forward to every year from here on welding. When I came across your tv show years ago, it struck two cords for me. Creativity and machines. When I need to get some creativity juices flowing, I'll watch some episodes. Being a welder you start to realize what you can all do and build. A lot of things you shop for, you can now build yourself for half the price; shop press, stands, mag drills, mills, lathe, etc. Love your content and the amazing builds you folks do.
Thanks so much for your comment Twowheelshredder, It's nice to hear.

@@WelderUpVegas Thanks for the notification guys. Once I'm done my schooling and get back to work (if work ever happens here again, Alberta is doing quite bad), I'll definitely be investing into the group.
Steve Is One Of The Most Talented Builders/ Welders That I Know. Steve, You Are An Inspiration. Thank You For Sharing Your Knowledge And Skill With All Of Us.
You are welcome! Thanks so much for your very kind words. Appreciate it! Thanks for watching and making it all worth it. Steve
I found that exact drill press i n an alley by my house! it works great i just had to get a new motor because the old one lit on fire
Great to see you back on here Steve. I will be checking out the Welder 101!
Hope you enjoy it!
Really appreciate you turning people onto trades. I was lucky and started for my uncle at Trotter Construction in college. The thing I love the most is working with family. When you hire us to build your house you get a handful of Trotter’s on the job site. Even our electric and plumbing is done by a father son company.
Great little video slammed with good history and tricks of the trade "VERY NICE"
I have been to your shop in Vegas a couple times and I have seen this truck and every time I find new cool stuff. That is my favorite truck. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything on it.
Your Welcome Andrew, Thanks for coming in!
Absolutely amazing Steve what you can build a lot of people couldn’t even imagine your vision👊
Great job Steve passing information on to your fans and people. Hope the comic comes under control so us Canadians can visit again.
You rock brother.
1952 Pontiac and 1959 Impala wagon can't wait to visit.

This dude seems cool af!
Awesome fabrication skills!
Thanks I appreciate it! It's a nice compliment coming from another welder. Thanks for watching!
Good old history of everything you have there, nice fabrication. Great video and hands off to you for doing great work 👍👍
Its like shop class ...Thanks teach...more of this kind of video please....
Im stoked my 18 year old sons goin to welding school up here in AK. Gonna be cool to watch.
I went to a ratrod car show in Vegas maybe around 2011. Gave me a respect for the rides, you guys make it seem too easy. Much respect for what y’all do
Thanks Matthew, appreciate it. Thanks for watching
I love welding, it is a blast and a half
We can't weld......but we have friends. We made a log arch. The fabricating and design was more fun than expected.
Signed....People who work with wood. (Hats off to all the Welders our there!)
Been a while glad to see you back on your you tube channel since I won't be able to visit your welder up this year from Scotland keep the video coming amazing info and builds you do 😁😍🏴 xx
Your a Man's Man Steve! True American Bad Ass! 20 year's ago a me and a friend welded a frame from scratch for a T Bucket
Always love seeing the D Rod. Such a Bad ASS ride. I know a lot of country boy welders in my area would probably love to own a truck like that one for jobs.
That truck is very practical. Love to run it.awesome job.
Thanks 👍
I've been MIG welding for years and bought a Miller TIG welder several years ago (7-8). I still haven't run a 220V line from my 200A service yet. I need to do that and start learning to TIG.
Finally. Thanks.
Wow man 💪😎 a welder shop on wheels 💯💯💯 that's an antique beast for sure..... I love antiques 💯 your masterpieces are absolutely amazing 💯💯💯💯 Big fan 👍👍

Glad to see a new video from you Steve. You giving this valuable information is worth so much more than reading it in a book! Since I began watching the show, and the videos on youtube I have taken your advice to increase my own skills as a welder. To say thank you barely scratches the surface...
Thanks George! Steve

You mentioned Tig welding on your RAT ROD. What Welder did you use? What do you use now? Thank you for sharing your gift and passions. Keep it up sir 👍
Steve is very talented and a awesome guy and amazing what he can do. Theirs nothing he can't weld that won't be out amazing
I love all your work and shows here in Kentucky...its all art
Awesome Steve,,
Thanks for sharing,
Cant wait to up skills and get cranking😜

If i knew how to weld / fabricate & had a sweet shop to work in ...i would be welding / fabricating so many cool things for my old 67 Fargo W200 Power Wagon and my other older 4x4 trucks ...but unfortunately i am just dreaming .
Your 🚚 Truck is really nice. Great job Sir....
Went to community college after the Marines learned to weld and never looked back, it took machine trades in high school and have had wrenches in my hands since I was a kid working on bikes and cars. My dad told me when I was a kid” buy tools and build yourself a future”

That's a bad ass truck. Bet it rides nice with those reservoir shocks. I would probably weld some kind of a single seater buggy with a Banshee engine. My grandfather always told my dad " boy if you could weld wood you would be a hell of a carpenter" he was funny, anyways Love you builds.👍
Amen brother....😎✌...we make our stuff.....
I'm in love with it
Love all your video's. As always, be safe. Peace.🇺🇸🍻
Thanks, you too!
Great advice!! Nice work! I started welding and sold all my gear. Now I have a 72 f100 sport custom 4x4 I need to do work on. Guess I am getting back into welding!!

I luv that truck 🚒🤩
Thanks for doin great videos . I like them a lot and appreciate it. U guys r cool.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Wish I could use my TiG again. Completely warned away from it with the defibrillator I have installed. Would love to sit in on a session watching an old airframe welder that gas welded chromoly tubing .
Thanks Steve
My friend is an apprentice union welder after watch this he’s going teach me
I am so motivated and also so broke , can't start on my own right now, but hopefully this will change
I've been working on my ford but i.love to build a old truck similar to what you have have built
Love the buffalo forge shear. My buddy bought what was left of buffalo forge and I used to help him repurpose buffalo forge iron workers right outside niagara falls ny
Looks way cool, I like old used stuff if it can be used and over 75 year's old use it as long as it's safe 👍🏽
This guy is awesome
Awesome thanks 🤙🏼 I really loved the old WW2 truck's as well they are so cool 👍🏾👍🏾 love to get one one day 😃🤞
Would to awesome to see the truck in person!
love that 55 man!
Love your work
I am pretty sure you said I could have that welder up truck😨jk real good to see you giving out the knowledge Steve...should be proud of the all you do ....ratrod...classic Darnell 👍✌
Great to see your making videos 👍👍 again
More to come!
Just got my TIG a few months ago... Haven't had as much time as I would like to be out in the shop blowin holes in shit learnin how but, I'm working on it...
Welder101 sure would be a nice birthday present to myself!! My birthday is the 17th and this starts on the 19th. I just have to see if I can swing the cost of it tho Steve. I’m a disabled Desert Storm Vet and I’ve got a cheap welder that I mess with once in awhile to fix things around the farm but I’m sure I’m not doing things right but I try. I’ll try and be there but will you have it again if I can’t get there this time??
Thanks Steve, I appreciate everything you do for us buddy!! Stay safe out there buddy
If the interest is great, I will offer the class again at a later date. Thanks for keeping our country safe. Steve

Brother u n ya people are my hero’s aye love ya work boi
Right on brother love all of those card but the welding truck the best I seen your sons are welders now
Very informative, Steve. One thing that wasn't mentioned about in the skill set of being a fabricator is Eyes! Need to have a good eye for detail and mostly, have the eye to see what is being welded.
Very true! The Welding School is now live! Go here to check it out: courses.welder101.com/
Your bother in law does nice beautiful tig welding awesome .
Bonjour Steve,
If you had been a teacher, I would have loved to be one of your pupils. Passion and competence are the keys to your lasting success.

Bonjour Raphael, Thanks for the kind words. It's only been in the past few years that I realized my love of teaching the skill of design, creating and building. Steve

You went to the end of your idea and you share your knowledge, you are a good man.
If I come once again to Las Vegas, I will be happy to share your hand.

You rock dude
Hell man great video. Keep up the good work.
Não me canso de assistir....rsrs.....continuem sempre, um abraço.
I welded up a brush guard and winch mount for my riding mower. Used a Titanium Flux Core 125.😝
Sol brasileiro acompanho teu canal e pra mim vc e o melhor fazendo
Rot rod
That's how I learn so fast is because that's something u wanted to learn for a long time. Wishing I started right out of high school and not in my early 30's. Right out of high school I was doing body work with my friend he did all the welding that needed to be done I was the mud Salinger and sander and knocking out dents with a body hammer
Went to a community college to learn the basics then a guy took me under his wing and let me work for him welding learn so much more and still learning to this day everyday is a school day Gene Winfield would say

3.race car frame jig .
4.ufo build all aluminum.
5.convert z4 to full tube frame with v8 style.
6.convert a highboy into a rig truck.
