You want to protect hot metal using the inert gas for as long as you can reasonably do so. That is why you should point the torch at where you have been rather than where you are going. Well that’s what I’ve always thought after watching others weld. Nice to see the idea bear out. I think the reason for the “e” is that you want to melt the metal in the region of the outer e shape but that creates a dimple in the centre of the bead so you drive through with the middle line of the e to fill that. 🤷 Those welds look awesome!

try this crap on 1/8 " and get back to me . Its very hard for me to weld thin metal , thick metal the welder does it for you

I’ve been welding for almost 20 years and have always been told not to do any motion when mig welding because short circuit transfer already has poor penetration. The welds look nice but not something I would do when welding something I want holding anything on a car or truck.

Thanks again for taking the time to show us more. Really appreciate the time work you guys put in for us. I weld forward chasing the heat zone with backward C's , old stick practices. Practising this one in my head as im typing.

I can't believe how nice and slow and steady you both weld. I almost always feel so rushed. I could watch you all weld all day

Great video, thank you. I sure wish you would show each weld rather than just talk about it.

Man .every clear I use flashes wayyy faster than that u look so at ease there

I started with a metal thickness gauge and the settings under the hood for that size , i found a lincoln sp100 that a closing dealership body shop threw out cause the fan made funny noise , it had a cigerette celephane stuck in it 😂 , got me a 75 25 tank , .30 wire , its not a bad quarter panel replacer ..

When we have the car body mounted in the BBQ rack, it's time to reinforce the cabin, floor, doors, pillars, panels, fenders and hardtop to today's safety standards. After all metal work is reinforced to protect the driver and passengers in a crash or rollover (the crash cannot penetrate the cabin), we continue the rest of body/ chassis reassembly. Two mechanical custom changes will improve the safety: 1. Substitute the straight steering column with a modern crash absorbing steering system. 2. Install modern disc power brakes on all four wheels. 3. Finishing touch: install seat belts and air bags. Result: Five star safety equipped classic with tougher structure and durability. New classic car show category: Safety Customized classic. It will be more expensive but the superior classic will be safely driven for thousands of extra miles. Thanks

Superb video👍🏼

Guy is good

Learned more about Mig welding in one hour than any other video or my own table time. Eye opening.

I like the HF tig gloves for most welding. If I get into "production" where things get hot I have thick gloves. Most the time.. I don't have the convenience of clean metal or simple positions. And the need to just get it done. So choose a setting and go at it.

I watched a lot of mig welding videos. This is the best by far. Thanks to both of you!

Raising lows by on-dolly slapping/hammering works great, but I can't explain why! It's counterintuitive that hammering or slapping on-dolly in a low area would raise the low area. I say this because the low area is stretched as the result of some accident, and hammer/slapper on-dolly only stretches it further! I'd think that we'd end up with more stretching after the on-dolly work? Perhaps that is exactly what happens, which is why we follow up by shrinking with the shrinking disk?

My helmet kept undimming when i was welding... Changed the battery and it didn't help... What seemed to work was when i smashed the helmet to pieces and went to the store and got a new one.. hope this helps

Hay Travis , thanks again for another great well explained video , this is right on time for me thank you

I hope he starts a RUclips channel his welding is top notch to say the least and hey Sylvesters was on point with just the little help imagine in a couple months what he could obtain!

There's folks that are born with a master skill and then there's us that have to learn over time this guy is a sculpture maker with a welder this was awesome to watch.

Where is the sleeve he's wearing from please?

Awesome mig know how. Gonna try it. Thank you!!

My challenge to use epoxy primer over dry 180g prepped acrilic paint? From what i hear it can be done right?, & i should paint on the epoxy primer, then after a 15 minutes flash time, spray paint my color on. It should spped up production.

If i wear out a precision tool because it's used as a scribe.. I buy another. I don't need the precision of a 200$ tool. The 30$ work good enough.

One of the best mig welding videos I have seen thanks for all the effort you guys have put into this one😎

Takes a lot to post your imperfections and learning. First video i have seen, great material. Subscribed!

Awe the teacher has become the student . . . . . good for you that's how we learn mike is a natural and great instructor

Great video! Thanks for the mig tips, very well detailed explanations 👍

Awesome video, thanks. butthole equals cold.

Travis, watching your discoloration from the coupon you're welding changed dramatically when Mike corrected you. I am left handed and owned my MIG in 84. I welded stick on the farm, I can't wait to "Listen" to the rhythm and laugh if you will, I found myself practicing those movements at the table! I am retired! Love MIG Master Mike. What a humble dude. Thank you for shedding "Light" on this topic.

Mike!!! ⚡️🏆

You rock

Great, great video, will be watching a second time, so much info. Probably the best mig video I've seen. Thankyou.

niCe, love the little details!

Wow. I’ve seen dozens of welding videos. This is spot on. Headed out to the shop to try these techniques. Thanks for all your videos.

Oh boy.! Have I got some bad habits to lose....... Thanks guys, I learned a lot...

Great info 👍

Since I build and manufacture 66-77 Bronco frames, I really appreciate the fantastic welders I have 👍

Overhead welding you need to increase wire speed to push the puddle up so it doesn't fall down into the tip. For anyone who wants to get better. Get a stick of 1½" or larger angle iron. Say, a foot or two long. Set it up so it's in the "V" position. Then spend hours running beads. 1st bead in the groove. Then a bead on either side, and so on and so forth. Run a bead the entire length, don't stop. Don't get caught up in having to weld pieces of metal together. Learn how to run consistent beads. Play with different torch patterns. Play with the heat and wire speed as you fill the valley up. Take notice to how it sounds and what the profile of your weld bead looks like. When you can fill up multiple sticks of angle iron with consistent beads. You can weld. As a Freshman in H.S. I spent hours welding scrap metal together. Similar fashion as I describe above. Filling gaps, valleys, whatever. we'd weld scrap together until it was 6ft tall lol. Besides the normal shop class work, I did this over 4 years and by the time I attended WyoTech. Was already a really good welder. I just had to adapt to sheetmetal. Learn on thick stuff because then it's just a matter of turning the settings down. If you can't lay good welds on thick metal, you shouldn't be welding sheetmetal. It's going to be a frustrating time.

I wish I could weld 1/4 as good as both you guys. My mantra is "Make it stick and grind off the ugly" ! LOL! Tomorrow I'll be out in the shop to try these tips. THanks!

MIG like TIG looks nice, but it's probably not getting the correct amount of penetration. It's "good enough" for aftermarket parts I guess since it's become the norm now...

Mig Master Mike : a true Master !!! Thank you ! I wish I had 1/10 of your skill.

Great video, guys. Lots of information to absorb. It is always easiest to learn when someone knows what they teach. I know that may sound foolish, but if you've ever had someone try to teach you that doesn't know 100% what they are teaching, it really makes a difference. Thank y'all so much for what you did and what you showed. God bless and y'all stay safe out there.

Awsome info 👍

Great video I think I'm gonna have to contact Mike soon and see if I can set up one on one.

Great video! Thanks!

This never gets old thank u

Ithought the same thing. Is it penetrating into the root

I would like to see his welds cut and etched to see what the penetration is. Easy Off oven cleaner will etch the metal enough to look at the weld kernel. It looks like a lot of build up on the surface. Thr welds are beautiful. Excellent tutorial, thank you.

Great vid thanks 😊

Good post. Interesting conversation and a lot of good information.
