My names Matt Urch and I own and run Urchfab welding and fabrication.
I specialise in custom automotive fabrication from building roll cages to complete one off builds.
I built the worlds most unique and oldest drift car known as the drift rod which can be found on my channel.
So if your into grinding, welding, fabricating, drifting, going fast etc, your in the right place!
In this video I'm showing you how to find those sweet mig welder settings that everyone is looking for!
Thanks for looking and check out my other fabrication videos for more tips and tricks.
I came here new to welding, and left with a masters degree in cooking.
Hell yea lol
just need some eggs and toast and we are set. Guess we got to wait for those videos
Haha classic
Get the bangers on.
🤣🤣🤣
If you smell sausages when your welding take your mask off & make sure your pants aren't on fire.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
I was using a 4” grinder and saw a flickering light out of the corner of my eye, I stopped grinding and looked down to see.....my frikken trousers on fire. No word of a lie. Burnt all the hairs off my shin. LOL
Tinkertime I watched someone drinking ad welding in cut off jeans. They were welding and caught the threads of their jeans on fire. Not the best choice of clothing for welding.
Sausages fantastic :-D
LMAO
That sausage analogy was actually fantastic at describing what you're looking for in a good setting combination.
Im never going to look at my ‘sausage velocity knob’ the same again 😂😂😂
My wife keeps asking me why I wear a welding helmet when cooking breakfast.
lol
38 years old. Decided to change my career. Started welding school a few days ago. Mix of beginners and more advanced students. Add to that the loud ass vents and demonic AC (Texas) it’s hard to hear. Instructor goes from beginning to advanced info without warning leaving me a bit lost at times. In the classroom it’s one instructor and 15 students. At least here i can watch some videos after I get home to fill in the gaps from school and it’s just me so it feels a little more one on one. Thankfully I’m not paying 150$ to RENT a video 😑 (school books ain’t cheap). Thanks for making videos.
Stick at it buddy, Cheers
The1MrE1980 your the US me !
Makes you wonder whether you're getting a better welding education from your physical lessons or here on the tube provided to you for free by a good guy with a talent for making stuff easy to understand and memorable? Respect to the creator.
Feeling quite lucky to be in New Zealand. My mechanical engineering course was 100% free due to a push in trades after COVID-19 and my tutors are very caring and helpful. Mix of beginners and advanced as well with a great age range (youngest in class being 17, oldest being about 55) and on top of all that they help us to get an apprenticeship in an area of engineering of our choice at the end of the course and there is no short supply of those in NZ, especially for us females lol.
I plan in doing that as of now! How did it go? Still welding?
A very informative video for someone who hasn’t used a mig welder before like me. Explains how the controls on the welder unit affect the weld. Very good
His way of explaining this is amazing. This is exactly what I was looking for!
When using thin sharp metal with jagged edges avoid adding red sauce from finger
Man I love the sausage frying pan explanation, I've just discovered your channel via your 100E build & love your work and enthusiasm.
Urchfab is a guru teacher, "bacon and heat ....." makes it so clear. Thanks
Great analogy, very informative and dead-pan humour, at the same time .
Good analogies and taught in a way that makes sense to me. Outstanding! Thank you.
Weirdly enough I've just been frying sausages and they where popping like crazy, 2 of them split right open so now I'm off to buy a mig welder, see if that doesn't get me a better sarney
Thank you. I had to do some repair welding after a 10 year lay-off. Your guidance was excellent and brought back all I had forgotten.
Out of all the videos on MIG settings on KZhead this is the first one that actually made sense. Your analogy of flame/sausage is brilliant. Thank you!
You did a decent job explaining how the find the sweet spot using the two controls, “voltage and wire-speed.” Your Sausage analogy was hilarious 😂. I’m hungry now for some breakfast sausage links with maple syrup, yum!! 👍
I was wondering where this was going at the start, but turned out to be a decent bit of knowledge. Thanks Sausage! 😀
As a beginner, I was able to control my sausage velocity after watching this video, thanks!
I've been intimidated by welding and no video could help me understand the settings until this video! thanks a bunch bro
Thanks for the video! I’ve been looking at videos like this for a while now. The sausage velocity and heat of the frying pan really makes sense to me! Thank you!!!
If you can master the sausage velocity you will win at life! Cheers
David Seguin ......yes now we want to eat ,,,,,,,,
Thanks. Had a MIG welder in my garage for four years, now I have the basic knowledge on how to use it. So starting tomorrow practice practice practice. Thanks
Ha ha! Same! About 3 years for me. I unboxed it when I first bought it and fed some wire through then put it away.
Thanks for the video, just got my first MIG and been struggling to dial it in properly so this has been really useful. Keep 'em coming!
Awesome video thank you! Started factory welding bridge matts at 18 yrs old in 1978. Mig welding!
Great way to explain it as sausage in a frying pan, definitely a super helpful video, thanks!
my first ever welding vid. great stuff. subscribed!
Great points for an experienced chef taking up mig welding! Very informative, thanks.
Your analogies and comparisons really help make sense of a lot of things unclear to a rookie like me about welding and voltages and beads etc.. i am self learning and using the university of KZhead and forums for lots of advice and tips. You explained things in a way I understand and can relate and compare to. Subscribing now and I hope there are more videos like this to get me past the beginning stages of learning to weld. Thanks again for the video!
You explained this well I’d try this now confidently
Great video, made it all clear. Basically, if you’ve gotten to the balls, pull back on the sausage.
From this day forth, I will always refer to the wire speed knob as the sausage velocity knob. Perfection.
Been welding for about 4 months, thankfully most of what I've welded has been dirty and rusted so I can weld clean metal like a boss. Great video btw
"Sausage velocity knob" Never calling it anything else.
If someone had explained it to me describing everything as food then I think all of what I was taught at college may have stuck a bit better.SAUSAGE VELOCITY!!!
Its all about the sausage!
It's all about how fast u shoving your sausage into her.... brilliant!!!!
Sausage Velocity is a very important issue now. We need a Sausage Velocity Awareness Month.
Knob... : )
If I turn down my sausage velocity, I could have less children.
It's cleared up which setting does what, now I need to go and try it out. Very clear and informative for a DIY welder to understand. Thanks.
Great MIG Vid ! You cracked me up with the sausage analogy but the vid did a great job on showing the feed speed and voltage setting, and what a weld should look like. Thank you
Brilliant description man, thanks. I've always seen welding as a dark art, like witchcraft, but now I want to give it a go. Cheers.
Wife walked in and with real enthusiasm asked me if I was watching a cooking video.
Pmsl. Brilliant.
Very well explained. For a never-before welding guy this is pretty good basic stuff. I'm signed up for classes but this puts something in front of me. THANX!!!
The frying pan and the sausage was a great way of explaining the basics of welding
You are an outstanding teacher, very well done indeed. Thank you
COMPLETELY AGREE. Epic job. 🤟🏼❤️
I laughed harder than I should have at 4:55 - Sausage Velocity Knob
This video explained some of the many, many things I'm uncertain about before starting my first welding project. I feel a lot more confident about recognizing good or bad in my work now, so thank you! As for the consistent sausage metaphors, I bring this from elsewhere on youtube: Five out of fiiiiive! Bup-bup-bup, BOP-BOP.
That was both useful and entertaining. I've yet to get my sausage right, but I've got confidence for another go. Thanks for sharing.
Never thought of using a mig to cook my breakfast! Jokes aside fantastic explanation
Had to give it a like for the "Sausage Velocity Knob"
I was very sceptical, talking about frying pans and sausage and the monotone delivery. But it was very good, thanks. Confirmed what I thought I was doing wrong today.
Watching you tube during covid, I like your description of the weld being a sausage. I’ve always been unsure of welders, not anymore. Thanks.
Excellent vid - thank you
I am a product of the 60's when we would get burnt on are regular basis and I am not talking about welding. This dude would fit right in on our corner. Whoa.......
sausage velocity knob... haha they didn't teach me that at college
Helped heaps thanks! My sausage looks awesome now :)
Just learning. Your sausage analogy is great. Cleared up a lot of questions. Thanks. I'll subscribe and look forward to more.
Thanks for the video. I took a welding class, but looking at shape and sound for getting a good bead is a help!
Johnny Depp as Jack sparrow the pirate welder

It's the Ali G init ! I'm trying to learn mig & wish I was as good as you.
The term your looking for is Penetration- where the weld “Puddell” or pool, is hot enough to include the depth / gauge of the parent (base) metal.
I think this video is the best one I have watched up to now and sausage and pan analysis has given me the best way to understand it.. thank you
SAUSAGE VELOCITY KNOB! This is amazing thanks for a jokes yet informative video
awesome video!! Comparing to food.. sausage velocity
I'm sitting in the garden having a toke and beer learning that mig welding is like cooking sausages. Hold my beer. Subscribed 😎
Sorry mate, no way am I feeding my sausage into frying pan!!!
I always try to put my sausage in slow... ...Strong analogy!
life is all about how you feed the sausage!
So he's telling me I've got too much sausage then & not enough pan
Great video. Really helpful information and a very clear visual demo of the difference each setting makes. Thanks! I’ve got to do some practice but I’ll be restoring m old Subaru soon and this video will deffo help when I come to weld up the rear arches :)
Really good explanation and well demonstrated.. learnt more from this video than any of the others.
God dammit I was laughing at the start of this you are fucking funny my friend. Wonderful video, thank you for taking the time.
no problem, glad you liked it. Cheers
Came here for the anecdotes, stayed for the sausage 😂. This was truly the best and easiest to grasp explanation i have come across, great work mate!
I wasn’t sure about the cooking thing to start with but now it makes perfect sense. I understand the problems I’ve been having and how to fix them now. Thank you so very much. Looks like I’ll have some beautiful cooked Bangerz from now on
Imagine this guy teaching a sex ed class.
popping and banging
Thank you for a really well explained demo, very easy to follow.... i hope i get better results now :-) Sausage Sizzle ?? Cheers
This is a super informative video and love the relating to cooking! Thanks for sharing!
Very good. I just upgraded from an arc to a mig. Didn't do any practice or trial with settings, just jumpped straight in. Made a hell of a mess but now know what I did wrong. Hot enough but way too slow on the wire speed. Will actually have a practice on some scrap now and get a nice bead going.
Thats my main problem.. I feed the sausage in way to slow..
He had me at bacon. Kept thinking about bacon while hearing sausage
Very good presentation. Good explanations, and it was great to see actual examples of wrong and rights. Thank you. I learnt a lot.
Best beginner video I've seen yet thanks from the USA
I had to go and have something to eat after the start.
You had me at bacon
SlammedHemi 😂😂😂
I think I finally understand what signs to look for in this confusing weld jungle. Thanks man.
Once I got past the surreal all-day breakfast, this becomes a very good informative video. Well done and thanks
is this a cooking show? sounds like ready steady cook
Brilliant video though for me as a beginner - joking aside
Thanks a lot for sharing, you are really great at explaining and showing!
Big help!! Wire was burning back into the torch today. Now I know why! More sausage required
Nice informative video for a complete welding newbie like myself..... much better than overexcited yanks.... Jesus ....
When I've MIG welded I've noticed the technique or the angle and the direction and the voltage and the wire feed speed all.matter...
Great video. Great explanation. I think everything finally clicked for me with you explanations telling and showing the differences of the extremes and then zeroing in on the correct settings.
Thanks, happy to help
Your analagy is on .I was a 6 G welder long ago ,and needed to find a welding job. And the new boss wants to see some welds . But I forgot a lot .and I mostly stick welded. Thank you .
...i'm hungry now
Hahaha. Sausage velocity knob. Try to use that in a different sentence. You've earned a like!
Fantastic video mate. Well filmed and very clear for learners.
That was a really good explanation, thanks for the upload
"Sausage velocity"... if you find my sides, please let me know!!!
Great vid , just one tip to make you better , dont hate me for this , im helping you , ok you need more energy and enthusiasm in the tone of your voice , that low energy sets the tone for the video , you are the video brother your tone and mood is the tone and the mood of the video , an exciting and energetic video has a very excited host , im not saying act like a blibbering fool im just saying up your energy level and keep an excited tone even on days when your kinda down , you cant let that show , ever ...Great work man thats why im tryna help a guy like you has what it takes .
Thanks, I appreciate the comment and your not the first to say it, Ive missed out on opportunities for that reason already. believe it or not I do actually make an effort when I'm filming to be more enthusiastic but its something that really doesn't come natural at all. When I get some things sorted out I will probably have a bit more of a spring in my step but until then its gonna be monotone all the way, Haha. I do take it on board though. Cheers Matt
I like the presenting style, it's not all "hey, ho, cowabunga!" and tells you nothing, keep it up Urchfab, if anything a bit more lackluster may be better.
Hogwash! Everyone is trying to sound like some phony salesmen these days. This guy just speaks like a straight shooting everyday Joe and I think it's better this way. Keep it real!
Great video! Very helpful for me to improve my beginner welds. Your monotone and subtle sense of humor are refreshing. Shooting for a “perfectly cooked saw sawj.”
He's a Brit, for crying out loud! We don't do "televangelist salesman"! Thank goodness!
Many thanks, this was a big help with my welding 👍
I’ve always went with the sound of bacon but I can honestly say your frying pan analogy (as funny as it is) definitely helps ! Thanks
Can you still weld ok using Linda McCartney vegetarian sausages? :)
That's all I ever use, no pigs were harmed during this welding!
I have just got a Sealey mightymig 130xt from my uncle. Its unused... what wire and tip shall I use ? 0.6mm with 0.6 tip or can I use a larger 0.8mm tip?
You should match the tip size to the wire so 0.6. cheers
Thanks. Keep up the good work ! You mention in one of the videos about another video which covers servicing and setting up a mig. Can you post me the link please as couldnt find it using search
Jonathan Colling i dont think u get the right sizzle
Next should TIG Settings for Dummies ..........
Urchfab is definitely the top dog at MIG; but Steve gets my vote for TIG (at Pithy Bikes) - though he would be the last to claim it: kzhead.info/tools/qQaFLkweCgviyj_E0VEy9Q.html
Thanks for this video, this is something I have always wanted to try, so am ordering a welder at the end of this month., Thanks again.
Nice beginner lesson thank you. I have not tried welding since about 1978 when I worked in factory in Wales making car parts. he steel erector give me a try with welder them days. I would have liked to continue but I was needed on spot welders instead.
