Thanks for your videos. Im relearning to weld i forgot how after 10 years unfortunately
Thanks.
Brandon I made the comment on mig welding. Drag deeper penetration and forward less penetration. The one thing I don't get is with stick welding it's opposite? Yes I graduated with Associate degree in welding and machining. I was the top graduate from my class. That was in 2015.
I think the difference would be the flux coating on the rods and the possibility of inclusions.
Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down? It is so clear and helpful in showing you exactly what to do. Thank you, Brandon!
Thanks man I appreciate your support :)
Somebody who cant really learn how to weld .after such easy explanation.
Thank you!
Dont let tht bother you, people are evil these days, lets go brandon.
Right on man! Thank you! 👍 😁
I've been welding for years but still when I put this on for my old lady who is learning,I actually learned quite a bit more myself 👍💯 thank you
Thank you very much! 🙏
Talking about a good teacher!.. 👍
Thank you very much! @ Caleb Lafleur
I'm glad you are here to teach I think you could teach a blind man to weld just by sound
Awww dude I appreciate it!
thank you very much for taking the time to pass on your knowledge. I'm only a hobby welder but I get a lot of fun out of it.
C Womble welding is a lot of fun! Thanks for watching! Stay tuned, i will be adding more videos to this series next week.
You sir by far have made the best introduction to mig welding fundamentals. Thank you so much 👍🏽
Thanks man! I really appreciate your support and your comment! 🙏😁
That is what you call tutoring the skill of MIG welding, one an easily understand. Thank you for sharing your videos !
Thanks Robert for the great comment! I appreciate your support!
I’ve been welding for many years. It wasn’t until I watched your videos that I learned some very useful info that helps me fine tune my “ welding “ . Thank you.
Thanks man! @Joe Bob
I am in Australia top learning video. Never to old to learn after years of welding thank you
Mike Lambert thank you and you welcome! :)
Thank you. I’ve started learning MIG and seen a lot of videos already. Love your calm approach to this. I got some good tidbits to add to my practicing out of the video.
Thanks Michael I appreciate your support!
Please get a airflow mask, protect your lungs and ears as well as your eyes and skin . Good luck.
Im Working at a fence company where I'm learning to mig weld. This video was extremely helpful. I appreciate it.
Thanks man! I appreciate you watching and commenting. I'm glad I could help!
Thanks for a very informative video. I have just recently bought myself a new MIG welder. I have not had a chance to use it yet as I had to get an electrician to put in an 15 Amp power point for the welder. My old one which I burnt out was only a 10Amp unit but when used at the end of a long extension lead overheated, but it was good practice but it has been so long since I used a welder, I will have to learn all over again, so your videos will be very helpful. I especially liked the way you demonstrated the sound of going too fast or too slow. regards from Rural New South Wales,Australia.
Peter Cunningham Thanks man and hurry up and get that welder rigged up! It's a great hobby! Thanks for the great comment! Cheers!
Just watched this 5yrs later 😂, anywhos it taught me a lot great pointers
Brandon, first I subed. I just bought a mig welder and did my first ugly weld :) Your approach to teaching basic skills is so appreciated I feel like sggesting that you make it a part of your channel to regularly teach skills, lingo, settings, etc...I've got a million questions as i'm sure many of us beginners do ! I am certain you could also reach many who hesitate to buy a welder but dream of making sparks in their garage. Good luck with the channel and thank you.
Patrick Boudreau thanks for the great comment and suggestion Patrick! Be looking for some upcoming videos with these suggestions. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the sub!
Aesome video! Thanks for taking the time and effort to recall and share your learning experiences.
Your welcome and thank you for your support!
Hey Brandon, came back to watch this video for a refresher! Picked up steel today to build a headache rack for my truck. Hope it comes out good!
Good luck brother! Let me know how you made out!
I did a little welding today in Ag class and my buddy taught me a little and I learned pretty quick. At first it looked like crap, then got better pretty quick! Not perfect at all but better. I’ll do some welding tomorrow and had to watch this video so my dad doesn’t flip out on bad technique! So thank you tons
Glad I could and have fun!
I have never welded before and wanted to learn Mig welding so that I can do my own welding on my vehicles when needed. This video was great, I fell like I can start practicing at home now. 👍
Excellent video and presentation showing a beginner's intro to MIG welding. Very well put together and explained "how to" throughout.
Thanks for the great compliment! 😁🙏👍
Great video... I tried welding without a video and had some questions after... your video answered them all . Thank you
Glad I could help Thanks for stopping by!
I’ve just purchased a gasless mig and the info on your channel is amazing.thank you for your precious time kindest regards tam 🏴❤️🏴❤️

Glad I could help!
I REALLY needed this lesson. Thank you! Stubbing has been a problem for me. Now, I know what to do to correct it. Again, thanks.
Thanks Lloyd im.glad I could help and thanks for watching!
Good on you mate. Very well done. You gave a novice like me confidence. And that’s an even better skill. Thank you.
Glad it helped! Thank you! 🙏👍
Thank you Brandon, great video and tips.
Thanks Miguel!
Absolutely Incredible instructor, man your good!
I appreciate that!
No I mean it for real you should be an instructor you would Get out to the young People that are coming up.
That really means a lot George. I try to teach others in the manner that I like to learn. I appreciate hearing that it's being received well. I hope you have a great weekend!
Very instructive video. I've got an everlast mig welder myself. I learned a few things from you.
Awesome and thank you!
Brandon Lund I have watched a lot of welding videos here on KZhead and I just want to say how refreshing it actually is to watch a video that's not a sell out. Either by trying to shell out products like say a random statement that I've NEVER Heard before like " THIS IS A INVERARC 200TLP from our friends at HTP America" Can't remember where I've heard it before but I'm sure it's also about plasma cutters and so on. Also not begging for patreon donations. I have subscribed liked and shared it because it is a video that's been created and posted for the benefit of the viewers not your pocket. Don't get me wrong now. I have absolutely no issue with people making money off of KZhead videos or patreon not at all But I do have an issue with people who use every means possible to get money. Like doing shell videos with clock bait titles then ask you to become a patreon and then try to sell you things while asking you to like share rate and subscribe. I will link your video on my channel as a video for people to watch in order to learn from. Hence the name of my channel
Can You Learn this from KZhead Thank you very much for your great comment! I have been known from time to time to endorse a product or whatever but it's only because I truly believe in it and I don't want my viewers wasting their money on stuff they might not need. It's funny you mention the comment about the invertig and I know what your saying. My viewers want educational content, not an infomercial disguised as a build video. I will do my best to see thats what my viewers get. Thanks for the kind words and trust this channel will always keep it real!
Brandon Lund Not a problem mate. Credit where credits due. I believe 100% that it you find a product that is the same as a million others but this is the best of the bunch then sponsored or not if you honestly do believe that then by all means sell away as it is of great benefit to your viewers and if you get a free tool of a bit of coin out of it then so be it as that would be an added extra for you. Not a reason for saying it. But love your channel and your vids mate. Keep up the good work Cheers Pat
Great show! Positive attitude!
Thank you very much!
Just what I was looking for, perfect explanation, thanks!!
Thanks!
Thank you Brandon!
I will be learning how to mig weld with my everlast welder soon!
It's good fun Lucas!
How that welder going for you?
super great tut! Thanks !!! I feel totally confident to start the sparks!!!
Thats awesome man good luck buddy! 👍 @Diego Forest
These videos are so helpful! I am starting Rowanty next year in Welding and want to know a few things before hand! THANK YOU! 💯👍👍👍
Thank you Vxerox! I appreciate your support!
Great tutorial, Brandon! Thank you!
Thanks man!
G, day mate, have just subscribed to you’re channel. I liked you’re simple and straight forward explanation on how to start Mig welding for beginners, top job. I took up welding in 1970 as a hobby and still love welding to this day. I help out teaching newcomers to welding for free and really enjoy doing it. I have completed numerous welding courses at Technical Colleges over the years to get my qualifications. I’m also a qualified Fitter & Turner and also teach, for free to newcomers the basics of that trade as well. You’re approach of teaching is very similar to mine....simple and to the point. Keep up the good work, l look forward to watching more of you’re video’s, as l am not too old to keep learning from others, like yourself. Nobody knows everything. Brian from “down under”...Australia. Hooroo matey...
Thanks Brian for the kind words and comment! I appreciate your support! It's a great feeling volunteering to help others. Keep up the good work! Thank you for the sub! Cheers!
You are a very good teacher! i want to learn to weld, but I could not find a video that I could follow . . .until now!
Thanks Daniel! That means a lot! I have a lot of information in my beginner welder series that you might find helpful - Enjoy :)
Great video for me as a beginner. Thx!!!
Thank you!
Great video and so helpful! Thank you! Now I need to have a go!
Thanks Graham I appreciate your support!
I'm new too welding but trying to learn by watching then practice practice practice thanks
Thanks David! 👍 Be sure to check out my beginner welding series playlist for lots of tips and tricks:)
Great for the beginner. Keep it coming.
Thanks Steven! Glad I could help!
Excellent video.... As a beginner, I found it very helpful and well presented ...
Thank you :)
Always great content
I really appreciate your support man!
Thank you for all the help
Happy to help
Brandon Great and informative. very clear and at a beginners level and real easy to see and understand. Cudos. regards Michael from Aus.
Thanks man! Much appreciated!
many thanks for this, excellent info.
Thank you very much!
Great video! I’m new to mig and this was very instructive. Thumbs way up!
Thank you @calevel florida Glad it was helpful!
Clearest presentation yet. Thanks for the information on the axes orientation of the tip. The technique shown of moving the tip side to side while maintaining the correct angles gives me a template for practice. I am assuming that the same technique holds for using a flux welder set up Ace.
Thanks acwren! I appreciate your support and the same technique works for Flux Core also :)
I enjoyed your video. Keeping making more.
I sure will! Thanks for your support!
Very informative video, thank you!
Your welcome Ned! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Good video man! Thank you
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Man! aside from the imperial units, the best tutorial so far! cheers from Spain.
Thanks man! I appreciate the support!
This was very informative for me. I just got MIG unit and hope to be able to do small home projects that mostly do not require great skill but produce strong welds.
You can do it!
best video i seen THANKS
Thank you very much!
Great video keep them coming. Thanks
Thanks Douglas!
Thanks real good information.
Thank you Joe! I'm glad it was helpful :)
Thanks rel good
Wonderful presentation and many thanks.
Thank you very much!
Awesome video 📹 👏 At the end when you said close your bottle got up from bed went to garage closed bottle 🍼 its 100 now ,thanks for that reminder. 😆
Lol @nitrofish1974 I've had my share of "oh S!@#" moments in the middle of the night. I got lucky. Last week I had that thought 3 days later. Fortunately I didn't have any leaks so I didn't lose any gas. I was worried though lol.
always learning. thanks
You bet!
Great video. Thanks Brandon
Thanks! @Jriedel13
I respect him alot just for actually caring about his health & wearing a respirator most welders talk shit & talk down on u for caring about your health which is dumb
@Nicholas Walker thanks man I appreciate it. Things are changing for the better. Now if you see someone not wearing ppe on a jobsite, they are called out. Dying in your 30's of welders lung is not cool.
Like your work and way you present it
Thanks man i appreciate it!
This video was a big help and a refressure for me thanks. Maniacal s10.
Thanks Mike, glad I could help! The "Maniacal s10" had me, so of coarse I had to check out your page. That's a nice big block setup you got there! Are you building a drag car or are you going pro-street?
Very Good tips sr, I think I learned something today 👍👍👍
Thanks! Glad I could help!
Thanks for the tutorial mate
Happy to help
Thanks as always Brandon. You're easy and pleasant viewing! Please tell us more about the "Nozzle Jelly"? This is the first time I've seen it. Wakodahatchee Chris
Will do and thanks!
Great job.. Thank you.
Alex O your welcome and thanks for watching!
Nice video ..ty ..you got a new fan.
Thank you very much! I appreciate your support!
alot of good information here for beginners. only thing I'd change is using a tap mig rather than a unit with infinite adjustability. for new guys learning it'd be helpful to teach them about voltage, wirespeed, and the relationship between the two.
Thank you Chuck for your support and kind words! I will see what I can do! :)
Great video! Very informative ......
Thanks 123 jones I appreciate your support!
Good video for my kids to watch before they start borrowing my everlast welder.
Thanks man! All of my videos are rated G- so plop them right down :) i got my daughter involved in welding when she was about 15. She loves it. cheers buddy!
let's go Brandon
Right on! 🤣🤣🤣
Great Video.. Thank you..
Rob King thank you very much!
Thanks man. Great series
Thank you very much Craig!
@@BrandonLund I just got a Eastwood 135 and I have everything to learn.
@@DjCBlaq it's all good. We all started at the beginning. My best advise, get to the scrap yard and pick up some scrap metal and just start by welding strait beads on flat plate. Experiment with travel speed and get the feel for it. Get into a comfortable position and play around with it. You will be up and running in no time. Congratulations on the new machine! Enjoy!
Excellent. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the help appreciate it
No problem 👍 Glad to help!
Very well done..
Thank you Michael!
That’s a great clean weld
Thank you @AnthonyT Rodriguez 🙏👍😁
Thanks Very good lesson
Thanks Dennis for watching and commenting!
I really like your technique u are really good teacher my many am boilermaker class 2 but I really wanted to do coded welder am from Zimbabwe Thank you
Thank you very much and I wish you happiness in your career!
Thank u so much keep posting teaching us
Nice a great clean weld
Thanks 👍
Dragging to me has les penetration. Only time i drag is when its downhill. Even flux i push on horizontal and never had had perocity. But thats just me. Thanks for sharing my man and teaching because i was once learning from videos like this! Great work my man!
I agree Caleb. Although others might consider pushing flux core controversial, as long as you stay ahead of your puddle you won't have an issue.
Big thumbs up !!
Thanks man!
Very good video well done
Thank you very much Shaun!
One video goes on about sausages, this one goes on about bacon, making me hungry these welding video's. Great vid.
hahahaha - Hope you enjoy, thanks :)
@@BrandonLund I did. Love the vids.
I'm in the UK. And I've enrolled on an adult eve welding course. Diploma in Engineering ABC, level 2. Welding Techniques. Never seen right travel from your left, going to your right? Interesting. I didn't know about 'stubbing' though, like the name for it. Great video. May the sparks be with you. Cheers.😎
@Peter Farrow congratulations on your new found interest! Travel direction is pretty much dictated by your comfort, working space, any obstructions and what's best for that particular joint in combination with torch angle. You can go left to right or right to left and be pushing or pulling your weld puddle all depending on your torch angle.
Thank you!!!
Your welcome :)
Thx. Good video!
Thank you Thor!
Tanks for you tips
Pai Jo your welcome! :)
Good stuff. Just the very basics. Once you do the basics and can make a weld the more complex stuff starts to make sense. Get out there and burn some wire!
100% Bill! Spot on! Merry Christmas!
Flux core wire don't no gas needed . Have slag u drag . Either t cool video . Mig used gas fluxcore can on dual shield welding . I'm back to music
The clean jacket is killing me...lol I know you didn't get yours from sponsors but always kills me when these guys show up with all new Miller blues or Lincoln reds and they're crisp and spotless. I'd be rubbing dirty metal all over them to at least make them look like they had been used a time or two.
D Rickard Hahaha you made me chuckle! This just brought me back to the days when we would be told that a "seasoned" guy was going to showing up on Monday to help out. The guy rolls in with all new shiny gear and everyone's like "here we go again, another idiot with no experience" lol. Your comment about my shiny new jacket just made me "that guy"! Take care brother and thanks for laugh :)
he could have at least put a few burn marks at the inner arm elbow area. you know, the really painful spot! :-)
Hahaha Been there done that! :) welding in sneakers is fun too when the molten slag melts into the top and ends up trapped in your shoe...Good Times! :)
Never mind the jacket haha..you can tell a rookie from how close he's sticking his hood in the work piece haha I remember when I started I could feel the beads heat on my neck hahahaha now I'm 3 foot away
