A highly effective stick welding technique for round root welding.

Thats not a "highly effective stick welding technique," thats just the normal, correct technique.

[u/sambolino44 → u/BagOld5057]

Well, stick welding wouldn’t still be around if it wasn’t highly effective! Just like how clickbait titles are highly effective.

[u/ShamefulWatching → u/BagOld5057]

That oxy cut jig on the other hand... pretty smooth. I once knew a guy who could do smooth like that with oxy by hand, and he was a noob, and it made me jealous.

[u/Mesoposty → u/BagOld5057]

Not many welders have the flux pop off in one piece, his heat and technique are pretty dead on

[u/woodwalker2 → u/Mesoposty]

I was talking hella shit while watching him gesture to not just overlap tacks but establish a puddle and stay in it, but when that Flux peeled off like that I took it all back. I have had that happen exactly twice (in welding school, I don't stick weld)

Ai titles and post

[u/JoeSchmoeToo]

Is it the safety sandals that make it highly effective? This looks like regular welding otherwise

[u/ohneatstuffthanks → u/JoeSchmoeToo]

Don’t neglect the safety linen shirt and pants which completes the outfit.

[u/YouArentReallyThere → u/ohneatstuffthanks]

He must have SPF 50 on in lieu of gloves as well

[u/I_wash_my_carpet → u/YouArentReallyThere]

That makes sense. Was wondering how he's not sunburnt af

[u/Starman520 → u/JoeSchmoeToo]

The danger makes you safe

[u/BatangTundo3112 → u/JoeSchmoeToo]

Safety sandals are standard footwear when you're doing hot work. In this case, melted metal that i believe is not gonna hurt just a little bit.🙄

[u/Shadowrider95]

That’s a perfect stick weld! The way the slag just pops off is quite satisfying!

[u/Mesoposty → u/Shadowrider95]

That’s what people don’t understand, his heat and speed were just perfect

[u/AlmostZeroEducation → u/Mesoposty]

You have to be pretty shit not to be able to do it on a butt weld though

[u/socialcommentary2000 → u/Shadowrider95]

Dude drew a good bead.

[u/FogBankDeposit → u/socialcommentary2000]

And all it was attached to was a jumper cable.

[u/fullbucketoffuckit]

Slag dropping in between the toes does not feel good. 

[u/thisFishSmellsAboutD → u/fullbucketoffuckit]

That's where the safety sandals come in.

[u/Schowzy]

I'm more interested in that oxy cutting jig lol

Less so that shallow stick weld with no penetration

[u/[deleted] → u/Schowzy]

It's just a circle cutting guide. You can get one at any welding supply.

[u/n1elkyfan → u/Schowzy]

Here's one on Amazon

Glad I’m not the only one who welds with open toe shoes

[u/Ok-Entertainment5045]

I’m just surprised he had a mask

[u/strtbobber]

At least he's got on his safety flip flops.

[u/pkupku]

The open sandals are essential. That gives him the incentive to make the weld perfect and not have a bunch of slag flying onto his feet.

[u/RelativeID]

This guy beads.

[u/Opposite_Equal_1756]

I’m more curious about how did the camera sensor not get damaged recording this. To me it looks like a phone recording it

[u/bad-creditscore]

Nice safety boots

[u/96BlackBeard]

Isn’t that normal welding?

[u/Robstar987]

Im always suprised how precise the can do this

[u/AutisticIcelandic98]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT GIVE THIS MAN SOME PPE

[u/mschonaker]

Human craftsmanship is delightful to watch. No matter what it is. Go f yourself, AI.

[u/Obsidian_knive85]

Nice bead

[u/bumholesofdoom]

Nice to see he's using safety sandels

[u/butterytelevision]

where’s the machine
