This is the most informative welding video I think I've ever seen on any channel so far. I'm retired now but still like to learn what I can from experienced guys like you Carl. Good job (wrote this halfway through, don't let me down on the overhead cause it's coming up right now!) Btw your buddy Brent coulda used your help making some tooling for his power hammer the other day lol. I made a point to tell him too....thx for the video bud.
Yeah, when I go visit him I’m going to see if I can’t make his days a little bit smoother
I told him also!
Yes I've watched millions of vids as well I've been welding for about 30 years and he did it spot on I really enjoyed it and am going to watch it again
@@MakeItKustom HEY CARL WHATS UP ON THIS VIDEO THERES A PERSON CLAIMING TO BE YOU (YOUR CHANNEL ) SAYING YOU WON A PRIZE TO MOST OF THE COMMENTERS ?!?! SEEMS TO BE A SCAMMER PLEASE REPLY PLEASE DO A P.S.A. TO ALL YOUR LOYAL SUBSCRIBERS THAT THIS PERSON IS NOT YOU AND DONT REPLY AND DONT GIVE ANY BANK INFORMATION ETC. ETC. THANK YOU IF IT IS YOU LET ME KNOW ✌🏼
Glad I found your channel. You're such an incredible and humble artisan and an awesome teacher as well! I couldn't ask for anything better.
I've been welding since I was a 13yo farm boy . I took 4yrs of welding classes in high school, all stick welding. I wasn't good enough to be a certified welder, but I have done a LOT of welding over the years. I didn't use MIG until I was in my mid-thirties and have yet to use a TIG machine. I'm now in my 50's (and probably as old as Karl's Dad), but I found myself smiling and nodding my head throughout this entire video. This young man seemed genuinely excited to share his knowledge and did a bang up good job! Thanks Karl! Subscribed.
Damn started at 13 and then 4 years of classes and still never good enough to get certified? You should’ve just kept all that to yourself. 😂
@@King-oj8hr You should try not being such a dick
I was thinking the same thing bit odd no?
@@King-oj8hr 🤣🤣
I watch and follow quite a few welding channels, and I must say that I have never learned so much in such a short amount of time. Karl, you have considerable talent and are a natural teacher. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together just for the benefit of your followers. Also, excellent camera work 👏.
Thanks so much Peter I’m so glad to hear it!
After 50+ years of mig welding I thought I'd watch your instructional video on how to do it cause I just might learn something useful. I was right. I learned a lot!! So much depends on the rhythm plus the sound of the welding in creating a proper weld! Thank You, JD
Great video Karl! I've been a diesel mechanic for over 45 years doing maintenance welding of all kinds and learned more about proper mig technique in your 1 hour video than anywhere else. Really enjoy your channel and have recommended it to all my gear head friends. Keep the vids coming!
My opinion , Miller is a much better machine because it has more fine tuning than the Lincoln welder. One good thing is I see you push will mig welding. I have been welding well over 30 years. Nothing wrong with your techniques.
I agree completely. Taught welding in high school because my metal shop teacher was only versed with wood-? Just out of school went to work for a guy who had 5 semis and 3 bobtails that had homemade chaindrag systems to unload- then they weren’t commercially available, so we built and repaired everything in his dads farm shop. Stick was what was available, so everything was stick welding then. Later built mobile home frames, then got into helicopter and aircraft repair. Frames got me introduced to MIG, and the aircraft got me a tiny bit of TIG experience. But this is a youngster who has all this knowledge and gives it away for the world, suggesting that a click is sufficient in payment. What a wonderful time to be here!
As a bodyman of 31yrs, I’ve had very little formal training even with ICAR classes regarding welding…it’s sad. But your video Karl really filled in some gaps for me as to the finer points of welding. I always got advice from other bodymen, and that there way was the best way to weld, but it never looked perfect. I appreciate the you using the gifts God gave you to help others. You have free will my friend, and I’m happy with your decisions to help others. My thoughts and prayers are with you ❤️🙏🙂
I like what you did there David "filled in some gaps" agreed great help.
Gaps .. good one !! 😂
It has been said many times before I watch many welding videos but nothing comes close to yours for fully explaining how and why. Thank you so much for these incredible videos you present. Not only welding but watching a true and rare craftsman demonstrate his talents is a joy to watch.
Would be interesting to see a cross section cut of the first piece that you welded after getting the settings dialed in to compare the penetration of push/pull/whip and pause/straight. Thanks for the tips
Best mig tutorial I've ever seen. You explain things in a way that even I could understand and that's saying something! Well done Sir!
Excellent video mate, super informative! The Dice look awesome fantastic job though the numbers on the dice are wrong, each set of opposing sides should add to 7 👍 Love the channel and your content is always fun to watch. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Excellent videos! I feel like I'm learning more in 30 minutes than I would in 3 months of taking classes. Thanks man!
people need to stop for a second and realize this man is giving us this content for free. thank you for this its amazing
I’m a beginner in my mid-60’s. I’m also an aerospace engineer that has designed and structurally analyzed welds in mechanical design. This is by far, the best teaching video for migrating welding that I’ve seen. Congratulations on a fine presentation and teaching job!
Love all your videos Karl!!!!
Absolutely great video!
Thank you for sharing!
Good stuff to know, Thanks !!

Excellent video !!!!!
Excellent video thanks
ENJOYED !!!
Very informative , thank you.
You're so awesome. Thanks
Great Job!
I completely agree on the vertical welding. If you are angled up, it's going to be a bulky mess. If you angle downward, your weld is going to be more uniform and beautiful. excellent tips, Karl, thanks! Man, I haven't thought of this stuff in so long, I'm really enjoying the walk through on mig welding!
Great video👍👍
Awesome video homie. Great information. 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
So informative
I've watched a LOT of welding videos. This is the best. By far. Really well done.
Banger as always Karl, thanks again!!
Excellent

Great video as always , thank you !
Super video Karl
Awesome video, thanks a lot for the Mig lesson.
Thanks for the tips Karl!
Great tutorial I learned so much!
You do beautiful work, much appreciated.
This was the best welding tutorial I have watched so far. My skill level is hobbyist at best. About a year ago I bought an EMAX 165E MIG/STICK miniwelder. Stick max is 2.5mm I use satincraft reasonably successfully. However learning to mig weld was pigeon poo. Watching your video, I GET were I'm going wrong. You have explained so thoroughly, and will give me the confidence to improve. I wear multifocal glasses and seeing my puddle has always been my weakest aspect, Along with a TBI from being severely rear-ended 11 yrs ago. Getting in to a comfortable position, and stamina to continue is where i have to go slower and pace myself. Even though i live in Australia, you will be my goto teacher. I now find that i learn better by watching, rather than just being told how to... Thankyou
Great information Karl and Elio
