Today we are going through some more gasless welding tips and tricks using flux core wire and looking at 4 ways you can spot weld thin sheet metal. Each one takes its own amount of practice but over all the methods are fairly simple. So sit down, follow along with me and enjoy the show!

You’ve delivered a LOT of teaching very casually in such a brief welding video , Thank You.
Thank you! I hope it really helps!
Your flux core welding videos are awesome. Many beginners such as myself start with flux core because we can use the machine right out of the box. It's great for a hobbyist or DIYer. Thank you for your time, NightWrencher.
Exactly right, thank you!
Thanks for these videos. There’s not a ton of FC content so yours is welcome to this beginner.
Much appreciated! Theres more to come, keep an eye out!
Awesome vid and tips thanks! I'm going to have to spot weld new floor pans in my f body. This will help.
Hope it helps! I've got a new video on sheet metal if you havnt seen it!
I bought a gasless machine recently as I plan to weld 3/4 inch 14sgw square tube this weekend to build a frame for a table to sit my cnc. Great info, thanks.
That should be a piece of cake 👌
Thanks for all the videos. I've been learning to hobby weld. Started with smaw and just bought a flux core machine. Your videos have been great!
Thank you! There will be more to come!
Awesome instructional video, thanks!
Thank you! Hope it helps!
Thanks for the video, you break it down well
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Thank you for the great video. Its been very helpful especially for hobbyists who cannot easily access shielding gas. Will practice before starting on my project.
Love your training videos NightWrencher! You make it easy to understand. Thank you!!!
You are awesome Bruh. I’m still very much a newbie at welding… and this was super helpful. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 ✌️✌️✌️✌️
Nice presentation. 👍 # 27 Stay safe, Joe Z
Thanks man 👍
@@NightWrencher You're welcome.
Another highly informative video, awesome! 👍👍👍
Im goin to spot weld my 240z floors tomorrow this is goin to help ... thanks for the tips
Good luck man! I have a new video on welding sheet metal too if you need mote help
Good video....always had an issue with welding sheet metal....will try the technique soon to patch a metal wheel barrow that has some rust holes.
Thank you! I hope it helped!
@@NightWrencher NO!...Thank You!...it will definitely help!
Good video
Thank you sir!
Great vids! Dodge truck bed quarter panels, do you recommend the flange type tool (CENTRAL PNEUMATIC Air Punch/Flange Tool) to prep for lap weld to get a better finish instead of just putting it behind original panel? So much controversy out there between lap and butt welds. I just started welding just to fix these body panels and want my best shot at a nice finish. Thanks!
Hey man, I have the same tool, works really well for thin gauge sheet metal but anything thicker than 20ga and it struggles to put a bend in it. For body work its really a toss up between the 2 processes. The issue is that you dont have access to the back of the panel where dirt and debris get trapped with a lap weld. The issue with a butt weld is that the area becomes a hard spot and shaping a welded bead becomes difficult. Ive had the easiest time with lap welds personally. Whether its a flanged lap weld or just a piece of sheet metal held from behind, never had an issue.
Good work ! What welder did you use ? Liked and subbed ✔️
Great videos, simple to understand. May I ask what guage wire are you using? I am a beginner welder and its difficult to not burn through. I was using .030, then went to .035 and I am gonna try .045 next. When welding body panels we have no heat sink behind it like your table. Settings are all the way down and I try to move quickly. Thanks Night Wrencher
For sheet metal, the thinner wire is best because it takes less heat to get it to start flow. Body panels usually need to be tacked in place in a criss cross pattern to prevent warping. You dont need to run beads across sheet metal. Just keep going around the panel and adjust the gaps as nessesary until its welded all the way around
okay.... this guy means well, butclearly isnt a pro(in the video i mean, his reply here is pretty good). thin metal, needs a thinner wire, ypure going in a hotter and larger weld puddle direction, by increasing wire diameter. try 0.023 or something under .030 size, itll work better than the 35 or 45. get the thickest piece of steel ypu can find/buy, half inch plate if possible, as a table/heat sink, the heatsink realllllly helps. you probably wont be able to do continuous welds, bit a couple seconds spot/ plug weld shoulpd work. get a wire brush and clean the area before ypu weld, for each 'stitch' down the joint ypure welding this way, it must be CLEAN, no paint, rust, sometimes even mill scale (the grey/black coating over the bare steel. thats oxidation, and contaminates the weld, and makes it spatter much more. lookup 'weldingtipsandtricks.com' that guy is a professional of decades of experience. get some nice 1/4" stuff to start learning on aheet metal is very unforgiving, it burns theough before a beginner can react really. good luck mate i love welding and hope it works out for you!
Wondering what wire speed your set at?
You want to back off as much as you can without it interfering with the weld. On my machine it was about 95ipm.
Friend please help thank you
With what?
what is the best approach for welding small things ie.. something like this kzhead.info/sun/dryRmqqvcJmed30/bejne.html
Great info thank you, but what is it about Americans and the phrase "we're gonna go ahead and...". It's like a weird habit!
Its not a habbit, I'll break it down for you. "We're"- you(the viewer) and I "gonna go and..."- going to continue to the next task which is... etc. If the word is the complaint of the word gonna. Its no different from using the words "innit" from british english, "amos" in spanish, "ничё" in russian, etc.
great video. no shitty, condenscending attitude. just the facts.
I appreciate it bud 👍
