    a while back… like 4 years or so i ran out of filler wire while working on a site, putting in st/st balustrading so all i could find was st/st cable 4mm 7*7 which i unraveled into single strands of about 1 mm thick and even thru they were not straight i found they welded just fine! to this day i just use all the cable off cuts to weld with . if you have big holes to weld up you dont even have to unravel the cable

    nice video! this really helped me in finishing the butt joints at the ends of pipe bombs im working on. quick queston, is it dangerous to weld the pipe while i have the explosives and ball bearings already packed in? i wouldnt want it to blow me up in my workshop!

    Thanks for the tips bro! I just recently started a job as a welders helper and im trying to learn as much as possible as fast as possible. Your website is by far the best one i’ve come across! I cant stop reading all the information on there! The info is great!

    Thanks Welding Tips . I hang my hat on sheet metal fabrication . Most of what I weld is thin( .063 or less ) I get a cheap pair of cotton glove and cut the index , thumb and birdie finger out.

    Offshore welders earn $2,775.00 per 84 hr. work week. If you would like to go weld offshore, send to me your email address.

  • ghostynoises:

    @manofmagic64 what kind of weld are you doing? I typically make corner beads on mild steel about 3/16″ wide. I find 75-80 amps plenty for that. Perhaps you’re too hot and it’s causing you to feed faster than you would otherwise need to.

  • manofmagic64:

    well when i weld stainless…i got it set up at 120…and the steel filler like sticks to thge pool and i have a hard time feeding it in easy…any ideas?

  • freddytk421:

    Thanks. I tried that thing with the rock and I’m pretty sure it gave me cancer with all the white dust all over the place. I didn’t get your response in my inbox because you didn’t hit reply, I just happened to come back here. Thanks again.

  • weldingtipsandtricks:

    they do make dressing tools for grinding wheels,,,but unless you are about to make some x ray inspected welds or something, it wont hurt to just leave the wheels alone…

  • freddytk421:

    do you know any tricks to get the grinding wheel clean enough for sharpening tungsten if you have already used it for steel? I don’t want to go to the store or buy another one. I was thinking of grinding a rock from the yard and wearing the outer edge down a bit. do you think that would work?

  • raptureorbust:

    Tell me about it, i’ve been in fab shops for about five years now, N. Texas has some pretty low pay for welders, $11.00-$13.00 hr on avg. need to get into TIG, and relocate.

  • 429psi:

    when you feed the rod forward using both these methods, are you actually dipping into the pool, or are these methods just to gain more wire infront of youre hand so it doesnt get too close to the heat/torch? Thanks.

  • 7628739:

    remember that the tip needs to stay in the puddle. show the method in action

  • ScreemWriter:

    “i know all about cancer and all that crap”

    haha

  • javelinjoe:

    Well ur glove is like 2 sizes to big!

  • beast36001:

    gloves are good, not with production, why work for bottomfeeder production wages anyways,?

  • Bgkgtjh:

    hehe ” I know about cancer and all that crap, but”… :P

  • Trip772:

    man those gloves seem nice i was using regular stick welding gauntlet gloves lol and i love tht wire feed method tht seems so much easier thank you so much

  • xjnate5150:

    It’s simple. If you claim to be a production TIG welder and can’t feed wire properly, you’re not a production TIG welder. I’ve seen many really good TIG welders not know how to do this. It’s sad. The way I learned it perfectly, other than a shitload of practice, is that my old welding teacher sent me home with a stick of weld wire. He told me to practice while I was watching TV or some shit. It works. Im 28 and can weld and feed wire better than ANY veteran 50+ welder that I’ve ever worked with.
