MIG Welding Basics For BEGINNERS!! How To Set Up Your Welder + Tips, Tricks & Techniques!!

Excellent instructional video. I don’t even qualify as a beginner but look forward to experimenting with your techniques.

About ten years ago I wanted to learn how to weld I asked my friends many said they would show me they never did I wish you would of been around I got a book a mig welder the 135 and a stick welder after spending a 1000 dollars lots of reading I set about trying my skills I did good and over the years I got better but you my friend have shown me some things and I look forward to learning more thank you

Excellent video thank you

I love this!

I really liked you video on setting up the welder for beginners. I am a beginner and tried setting up my Century welder and tried welding. My welds are horrible- a lot worse than the worst weld you showed. I’m going to try setting up my welder again using you suggested settings and weld. In your opinion is it better to learn welding without gas or with gas? Just curious to hear your opinion. I have to say your technique produces excellent looking welds.

I'm an untrained novice. Thank you for this video. I'm constantly around welders who speak gibberish. You dumped it down for me.

Great video

Very helpful video. Can't wait to binge watch everything I can. Got an mx5 to weld 😅 Paid 750 for a welding class. Learning more here.

Great tutorial. your teaching skills are equally fantastic.

Loved your video brother. Wish I had gotten into welding when I built my rod. Always farmed it out. Now older, not so wiser, I bought a 110 and a 220 Lincoln, similar to yours and having fun with it. Might just hafto purchase another project now. Leaning more to a rat rod, lovin’ that look. Thanks again…

Ever have the trigger feed stop working?

Excellent video. THANKS!

Great video!! I appreciate you sharing your skills,and knowledge you’re a very talented metal worker

Thank you

Thank you. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong before the video. Love the whip and pause

Thank you.

Your a good instructor you explain things so we understand

What settings I need to weld metal kitchen chairs

What's the gas set to

Thanks!

Ah I see it hooked up to the table🤙🏾

Do you need to hook up the ground clamp??

Artistic welds and what a GOOD TEACHER! Thank you for a lot of very useful information.

Just starting my welding, but I would probably understand more if I can see what the tip is doing when you are doing these welds. Like chasing your beads and like that.

why is it still in dots ?

Great video! Info/Time ratio is the best possible.

That's a nice intro to mig welding. I haven't done it yet. I didn't see a bottle of gas there, so I don't know how you adjust the flow of the gas.

Great instruction,thanks!

Love it, been planning a flat bed project, and it's been a while since I welded. This a great tutorial..

Thank You Dude. Georgia Mad Mike

Now I can practice welding without going to school hats off learned in 15 minutes

Im a structural steel MIG welder-fabricator. Doing a bit of back and fourth motion if u know youll blow through is fine. Cursive technique on low settinge is good for filling in gaps before putting on the proper weld. Constant speed straight push will give the most penetration. I like to move along and pause and look at the top of the weld and match it all together for a perfectly straight run. Any other techniques wont be strong enough on thick metal. And btw if ur wondering, i only use the cursive technique on low settings for filling in gaps not in the proper welds cus it wont be strong enough

Yes, sir I have viewed this video before, and it is always refreshing to refresh. As in your video regarding flame cutting with a cutting torch the process was easy to view being shown through the welding lenses and this demonstration would be easier for the beginner to see the actual weld puddle being formed and moved along the piece. It is actually the same process as gas welding (well duh!!!!!) and when one see's the welding puddle and the tap,tap,tap of the filler rod into the puddle one can relate that to the actual mig welding process which is as you know a faster way of welding as opposed to the gas welding process although the two are the same. A very good instructional video. You had a good teacher when you learned how to weld. I stress for people to take a good welding class: it is something that will stay with a person as long as they do not get rusty.

Ohhh!!! Thank you

I am a beginner on welding and I really enjoyed watching this video from you and alot of good information and I like to continue learning from you and thank you for sharing your video

i don't know much much gas flow i need and this video doesnt help there.
so I downvoted.

The best 👌

You speak my language. Thank you!

bro taught me a year of welding in 22 mins props good sir🫡

I must say our miller 252’s loooove the vertical down underhand.
I never thought of the vert push. Gonna try that out. Excellent video too.

Man, I’ve never welded and probably won’t, but I really liked your video!

best video ever made

Thanks for the video, I own a Lincoln I have never used it.. but I’m interested in learning about it. I would like to used to fabricate a tri-bike . I believe I learned a lot.. I will try all the techniques and which works for me .. thank you for making the video

Am gone as a welder!THANK YOU.

Great instruction, thx.

Awesome 👏🏻

Very good video . Very good video .

Make It Kustom.. You said 75% CO2 and 25% Argon. You sure it's not the other way around? Mine is 75% Argon and 25% CO2.

MMMM bacon.

Hey awesome video. I wemt to welding school when i was in Votech when i was 17. I'm 34 now and i had a car accident 6 years back which erased my memory of certain things.
This is helping a lot, and i think its one of the best explanations especially with things like, visual, sounds to help newcomers teach themselves welding.
Can you do a Flux Core E71T-11 vs E71T-GS version of this video?
I think most people just starting will be able to afford Flux Core and 3:1 welders.
In fact im planning on getting a YesWelder 3:1 with Fluxcore/Stick/Lift TIG.

Its expensive if you dont get affordable welders.
The Welding Jacket, welding helmet, Thick and Thin MIG gloves, welding blanket, rods/wire, slag hammer, welding clamps, welding magnets, practice steel and coupons of various thickness, dust and gas respirators, welding shoes and appropriate FR jeans/pants.
And thats just starting out.
