I enjoy your videos every week. I’m wondering if you can show “repairs” to things that break or wear out, where the only way to fix it is with a welder. I enjoy the Aluminum stuff as I’m about to tackle some aluminum on an upcoming project.
Regards,
Jim

Hey Jody.
Thanks for all the aluminum tig tips especially! I have a lincoln square wave 175 tig welder without all the pulse luxuries, Could you show some aluminum welding using this machine? I’m currently practicing on 1/8th inch but welds trying to get the kind of penatration that looks like a weld bead on the back as well.Buy the way, I bought 3 tig fingers, they’er vary handy!

Hi Jody once again i thoroughly enjoyed watching the weekly video alsways very informative, have a query,am doing a bit of car restoration normally do my weld in panels or rust repairs with oxy acetalene fusion welding was wondering can the same results be acheived by mig welding with silicone bronze mig wire, if so would like to see if you could give a demo in one of your weekly video’s cheers Bert

Mig brazing as we call it in Europe is normally used to repair modern vehicles built using high strength boron steel. It normally runs best in an inverter mig machine with pulse settings (something that has an aluminium or stainless program will probably work well). It requires spotless steel, and normally a small root gap when but welding.
There is a lot of info on the UK mig-welding.co.uk website and forum, I suggest you take a look. Also it might be worth sending a message to a user on youtube ‘restolad’ from NZ, he has mig silicon bronze bodywork experience.
Hope that helps

Jody, Thanks for the great video presentations. I have learned so much in a short amount of time. I am currently doing a car restoration and my Millermatic 211 mig welder has proven to be very valuable. I am looking to add a TIG unit to my shop and want something larger than a hobby machine as some of the work will be on heavy aluminum. Do you have any suggested units I should consider?
Any help is appreciated.

I’m building some aluminum fuel tanks for my air boat. I built 2 last winter and sold them but I had a lot of trouble welding them. I was told I should of put argon in the tanks while I was welding them. Could you tell how to Tig weld them the right way? I really enjoy your videos I watch them every week and the Tig fingers are Great I use them about every day.

More stick videos. I’m a millwright in a mine, and we don’t even have a tig rig in the shop. We do some hard wire, but 99.9% of what we do is stick. Also, most of our welding is done on crap that should be thrown away, not repaired or patched so it can do one more go ’round. Some insight and tips along those lines would be really helpful. I’ve got a stick/tig inverter at home thats “decent”, and a lot of your tig videos are helpful when I’m doing repairs for relatives, but I try to keep them at bay when possible. My money comes from being able to re-attach crap metal that more akin to rust molecules holding hands. Did I mention more stick videos? By the way, everything you put out is worth watching, keep it up!

Hey jody great site and videos nice to see the different styles used in the states some rods not used as much in the uk 6010’s have fallen out of fashion for one have you ever done much stainless with the stick nice down hand but sorts the welders out when out of postion even more so on pipe would love to see you go about a say 6g schedule 40or80 argon root stick fill and cap see how it differs to uk styles cheers for now rob

Always look forward to your videos. Thanks for the consistent flow of information. I’m sure it will pay off if it hasn’t already.

Thanks for tip always use filler rod when welding aluminum,also filling the gapped end on the seat bracket very nice.
Keep the great tips coming!

I Learned a whole lot of things about welding on your site.thank you so much for all the effort. Can you feature a TIP TIG process. I just came across on it online and it looks like its the new evolution of welding. Iam a US Army contractor here in Afghanistan.Armour Welder/fabricator.Thank you.
