  1. Jody, watch your videos every week and love them. I was a production welder for GE and a boat builder a lifetime ago. Never did any Tig welding. I now have an AHP 200X and I am picking it up pretty fast, thanks to you. Learning from you is like taking an online Master’s course. Keep up the great work and thanks for all of the help.

  2. Hi Jody

    As always, I appreciate all your hard work in educating us part time welders, sure wish I could make my welds as pretty as yours.

    I don’t wish to sound ungrateful but I am not sure what happened on this video it looks like you cut it short, must be my mistake cuz I’ve yet to see you make any….lol.

    Thanks for the instructional lessons, can’t wait to see the rest.

  3. Hi Jody,
    Thanks for all your videos. This on answered a lot of questions for me. It’s always a challenge to get the right welding current on these types of jobs!
    Bet,
    Rob

    Hey Jody
    Just wanted to send you a shout out and say thanks for the video’s. I’ve been learning so much from your segments. Absolutely love them. I’m getting ready to retire from my office job of 30 years. Prior to that, I was a welder in a shop which welded a lot of pipe for the petro industry. Lots of hard facing and specialty welds on stainless pipe. I’ve always welded as a hobby as used it as my stress release. I plan to do more as my time frees up. Love your stuff and just wanted to say thanks
    Carmine
