    It is a pity that Macks videos are not
    organised in a chronological order.
    John on the other hand needs to relax. He reminds me of Lurch.

  • kristinmcknight:

    Yes, you can do that with 60s :) that’s the cool thing bout em.

  • bigdonger111:

    are you actually gonna do any welding

  • bicycleabused:

    i personaly have been told and taught that you should interupt the weld and if that a 60 series rod my instructor has told me u make a puddle then take it away let it partially cool and do it over and over again and in the end it should look like a stack of dimes tipped over

  • jonhy2x4:

    ummm dude silly question u can get optical lenses for welding helmets, you can wear glasses while welding and same with contact lenses use shade 11 lens in my opinion but it all depends on the type of weld u running like 300 amps use shade 13 but mostly personal preference

  • whompo:

  • AlexMadsen87:

  • KillaBackRattler:

  • snocamo154:

    If it is not safe to wear contact lenses while welding, what about regular eye glasses or bifocal eye glasses? Are they safe to wear while welding? Just bought a small welder and want to learn more about techniques and safety before I use it.

  • freddytk421:

    Nice bead! thats a good one I am going to use that one. I have searched all over for welder jokes and couldn’t find any do you have any more?

  • freddytk421:

    look up killabackrattler he has a video on here and has the best weld I have ever seen. I would love to see you produce a better weld than this one. I seriously doubt you could even come close or call him those names to his face.

  • freddytk421:

    I have a harbor freight 120v stick welder and I love it too. and I agree with you cyberwelders are the biggest punk ass bitches Why are they so critical?Why do they care if other people can’t weld? All the haters don’t even have videos on here to back up what they are saying. If they are good welders I’m sure they can afford a video camera. I guess they just got out of a welding class and want to show off what they just learned in school. I have some videos on here but I don’t criticize others

  • speedoking199:

    yeah, fuck the welder haters. I have a little clarke 120v and i love it. but seriously, FUCK THE HATERS!!! >:(

  • bold1970:

    just started a course…………on my first lesson,2 nights ago,the instructer said NEVER WEAR CONTACT LENSES WHEN WELDING,use a vacum close to the weld to take fumes away from you,im finding these vids a great help……good luck,let me know how your finding it.

  • trevorwinton:

    and you are illiterate…

  • stalkersas:

    and u are a big showof, a teller, and an asshall, rasist and nationalist. rude, but true judging by your coments.

  • stalkersas:

    i managed to lwarn to start and keep alight an arc in 1 hour :) just do as the gui says, light it like a match, keep a 30-45 angle and if this dun wark, busst the amp a lil more. also i saw that if the amp is too low, the metal rod melts inside the tip of the electrode, and the flux remain like a ‘cup’ up around it, this making it throw mani sparks and stop verry often

  • klinkontriton1:

    Dude your such a fag. Quit hating on us welders, or go eat shit and die.

  • watercolorist7:

    I am considering getting into welding for a career. I am concerned about damage doing damage to my eyes and impairing my vision down the road. Also the respiratory issues. Can you guys tell me whether these things can be almost completely avoided or not??? I am a visual artist so my vision is very important to me, Any advice and information would be much appreciated, thanks.
