Great use of the glue to show the process
Thank you. Getting the speed right really helps to know.
Good training. Excellent teaching aid with the glue
The glue was a great example. Now I know I am going to fast.
Thanks, very helpful!
I really like the example with the glue. It helps a lot!
Thanks!
Great instructional video,good job😊😊😊😊
Hey bruv. I appreciate your content. Thank you for creating and sharing your knowledge and experience. Also, you’re gonna melt that GoPro!!
ayyyyyyyy 🤣
You can be a good teacher..you have teaching skills that most good welders do not have..you understand the beginner’s way of welding very much and you clearly expose the mistakes.i myself as a beginner understood why my welding was messy by watching your video..and after such clear explanation i dont think im gona make the same mistake of running a weld too fast again..thank you mr
Hey thanks! It means a lot
Thankyou Jess. I appreciate your candid dialogue. I’ve subscribed!👌
Thanks!
I've been thinking about getting one of these welders to learn with. This was so far more helpful than other videos I've seen.
Thanks so much! I'd 1000% recommend it. Wait for one of those sales when they go for $130
Always remember what my welding instructor told us students in the first week (1986) practice, practice, practice! Jess a very good video presentation.
Thanks a bunch!
Thank you I will try all your recommended tips...have to repair a hole in my jeep door after I get better at flex core welding.
Oh man I wish you the best. Those automotive panels are terrible to work with
"Just do it over and over again until you don't suck." I've got lots more doing it over and over again to do to reach this lofty goal. 🙂 Thanks for the video.
Thanks! I've got a ways to go myself 😂 especially TIG welding. TIG terrifies me
Please , make sure you have all the required welding equipment , Safety Goggles , Helmet , Head scarf , Fire resistant long sleeve shirt , Leather apron , Welding gloves , Jeans and Leather wook boots . Then there are tools , but I'm not going to get into those . If you want to teach and train anyone how to do certain things , Be a good example and show them how to do it properly . I know you mean well , but too many people are getting the wrong information and are going to hurt themselves or others doing things unsafe . Example ; Someone comes by snd stares at the arc and later on complains about their eyes hurting . I have to constantly remind people not to watch the arc . People like to see spsrks ! Hopefully you will use all of your safety equipment . I'm didn't get everything at the same time , just one thing at a time and eventually I have them all , oh yeah ; Respirator too , to protect your lungs from the fumes . Thank you for the video . 😊
Darwin awards man, idk. I accept all risks. I do weld outside and hold my breath while welding. This video is mainly to push people to try something, and if they're smart they'll figure out why sleeves and gloves are important
@@JessLehmanThere’s a difference between accepting the risks and putting yourself at risk. You have a lot to lose. It is it going to be a matter of if you get injured, it’s going to be a matter of when you get injured. You deserve better than that. Treat yourself better than that.
Glad you didn’t speed up the video, it showed the true speed. Man, am I going too fast! I worked in various foundries and have many burns, so I wear gloves to weld.
Brilliant video for thin metal 0.9mm using this continuous weld, would it warp the panel, so would it be better on and off on the trigger, like spot welds. Thanks
Yes! With any sheet metal the consensus is not to weld the entire length of the panel. Take your time, don't weld too much at once. The heat causes it to warp quite quickly.
Actually that was a pretty damn good way of explaining it. Good job man. And for the guy that talked about stick out, you’re wrong and this is correct. More stick out when flux core welding.
I stopped using the HF wire to using the better wire from an actual welding store recommended from them I've noticed a huge reduction in spatter , good video
I'll be sure to give it a try. Thanks!
Im new to welding, however i have done oxygen/gas torch cutting for awhile, and the travel speed seems a very similar thing, dont wanna be to fast or to slow, gotta be just in the middle or you wont get a usable piece
Good luck on your welding venture! It opens up so many possibilities
I loved the way you show examples from the glue.Your a great teacher .Can you do a tutorial how to weld 2 pipes exhaust together ?
Thanks! You mean like you slip one exhaust pipe over the other? Or both pipes are exactly the same size and you can't slip them over each other?
Your welcome.Do tutorial on both would help me so I would have an idea which one works best.I gave you a thumbs up !
Awesome, let me see what I can do!
I have a video uploaded for you sir
Sweet, your the best .Can you send me the link and thanks..
Can't scare me away from it. Gonna melt that camera.
How about some safety gear, like gloves?
#mybodymychoice
@@JessLehman I mean, sure, but we're total beginners here, we don't know better. Increasing risk of melanoma from UV is not good, not even talking about getting sunburnt. You can take off the PPE when the camera is off :/
I just rewatched my own video and I did talk about wearing gloves. My obligations are met.
@@JessLehman you're right, i wrote the comment till I got to the end. Anyways, stay stafe
I have that same welder but not getting spark and it’s grounded, any tips
Is it feeding wire? I had a huge issue with it not feeding wire or initiating a weld. I blasted inside the trigger of the torch with starting fluid and it fixed the problem
As someone who flux-core welds a lot.. a boringly lot.. work... my onlyish "Top Tip" would be to disregard any wire size below 1mm .. dunno what that is in American, 5 58ths or some such nonsense - flux core wire below 1mm (5/58ths?) doesn't weld gud. 1mm welds gud. Thin sheet/thicker steel - 1mm. Always 1mm... My second (2ndts) "Tip Top" would be to buy either a Yeswelder or a Hitbox machine - having bought every flavour of machine going because we use them at work & the "Let's buy another welder!" Budget is solid, I've settled on those 2 as being the best, regardless of purchase cost. My last Tap Tup is buy gud gloves. Flux core runs hot & throws off lots of hot - good gloves make it less ouchy. The lastest Hop Pip is "Wire wheel yer welds!" - right after you lay them - flux core erm, flux, is corrosive & rusts steel faster than sea water - you need to remove it pronto. There's 2 main ways - a wire brush wheel in a cordless drill (Boringly slow) or an angle grinder with a wire wheel fitted - use the angle grinder, the drill version is ok for tight spots, but would bore a hole in a rockinghorses behind if there's any real volume of weld to clean. Follow these simpleish tips & yer Granny can be running FCW like a Boss - it's just gasless monkey-wire after all. Same same but different. There's also loads of flavours of wire you can buy - most are ABSOLUTE pish & will make you/your Granny think its you, not it, when your welds look crap - its it, not you. Same Rule applies - Yewelder or Hitbox flux core wire - or Super 6 if you can get it - are the only brands I bother buying. Super 6 is my fave, but it's like the rockinghorse poo that comes out the hole the drill/brush combo bored. Scarce. Other "Hint" is treat your welds with a corrosion inhibitor - this schidt ought be pay to read.... - the World is full of "Corrosion Inhibitors" however most are like the majority of flux-core wire brands - rubbish... There's only one decent corrosion inhibitor on the market, it's expensive but it's also brilliant. Brush it on, forget about it. The hardest part is paying for it. I'd tell you what it is, but then I'd have to off you.. I've said enough. Go weld something.
With flux do i need a mask for fumes. And ×hat type from HF
Mask, a fan, or weld outside and keep your face out of the smoke. Flux smoke can cause iron deposits in the lungs
Good safety note about the iron deposits. There's some guy here on KZhead that has a couple videos entitled something like "5 Ways/5 More Ways to Not Kill Yourself with a Welder" which are full of good safety info. Got to wear a good welding helmet/mask to protect your eyes from the concentrated UV light. At HF, you can spend more on a premium auto darkening helmet than a low end (read "beginner") welder, but there's always a sale or coupon around the next corner, if you're willing to wait.
The first step is to make sure you have long sleeves and the proper welding gloves. No, it’s not an excuse to say; “I’m only tacking!”. UV exposure is cumulative. It’s cancerous. I do like the glue. It’s different.
Yessir. I accept the risks of not wearing either.
@@JessLehman sad
@@JessLehman and you should tell people that there are risks that you don’t care about.
Maybe in the future. But I think the majority of people are going to think I'm insane for welding without gloves. Which may be true. But wearing welding gloves and long sleeves is common knowledge to most people even remotely interested in learning.
maybe I am old, but I was gonna ask "where are your welding gloves?" but then I realized I didn't wear mine all day testing my little Alien flux welder I got as an early mothers day present haha
I get that a lot haha. But I just don't burn. Neither from welding nor from the sun. Allegedly cutting seed oils from the diet really puts a stop to UV skin burns
@@JessLehman yeah it has to be pretty hot to bother me too, but I was playing with my new flux welder, no gloves or leathers all day showing my son, and never even thought twice about it, because I was just tack welding little spots to see if I had the right gauge steel to weld what we wanted to fix before I got welding the real thing... so gloves meh, besides it only really matters in tig welding when you ark to the rod and shock yourself half to death in my experience haha
That's a lot of stick out - which causes more splatter. Ditto on gloves, and sleeves, flux core has a lot of splatter.
Yeah it's just hard to get a good shot on the camera with proper stick out. It kept screwing with my shutter doing weird crap
Nice, show me again. In thin auto body sheet metal :)
Not gonna lie, I think I'd rather kick myself in the balls than do sheet metal. 😂
You're cameras going to melt. You're go pro is going to melt.
Hell yeah haha
How about showing the new welders how to use P.P.E. So they don't end up with skin cancer or at least bad burns. Oh yes member don't touch it (blasting caps).
This has actually been covered but thanks

Flux weld? Surely you mean flux core weld?
Semantics
