What’s My Favorite Welding Rod?

hey taylor I just started practicing downhill and the root and hotpass and fill with 6010 I do great, but when I use the 5/32 pipeliner 8010 it seem to always get stuck for me on the side and bottom of the pipe. What are something than could cause that? I run it at 130 amps so I don’t believe that’s to cold.

ima young guy in the game nd the best piece of advice i was ever told frm my og coworker "sometimes for a youngin you just gotta shut your mouth nd listen to the older generation to get ahead in life" nd thats why i watch these videos for tips nd tricks

I worked as a maintenance mechanic for many years. Like an old farmer,I got used to 6011, 1/8 inch for everything. Clean, dirty, rusty, muddy, in the field, any position.

There is something about this that transcends mere work. The look of the arc is mesmeric.

I've mostly used 6013 , grew up unsupervised uneducated, 6013 was about all we could get rural Ireland

That arc shot is spectacular

My favorite welding rod is the last one of the day.😊

I LOVE THIS CONTENT PLEASE DONT STOP

Nice video, Not to long ago at work I was criticized about trying to stick weld everything. I suck at Tig , seldom Mig but 7018 well that's my thing. Thanks again

Watch were you’re going and remember where you’ve been. Amen & Thank you

My first time watching this guy. Great presentation and delivery. I didn’t know Billy Bob Thornton could weld. 😂.

Great videos Taylor. I’ve been welding for over 30 years. I rigged up in 06 and been pressure welding since then. I’ve done a few small pipeline jobs but mostly been doing facility new construction. I started teaching welding a few years ago and I love it. So I’m in the field for half the year and teaching the other half. Thankfully it’s been the cold half. lol. You have a great style and ease of explaining what you’re doing. You’re helping a lot of people in and out of the trade. Ive had a couple of stingers like the one you have. Amazon calls them European style electrode holders. I’ve been using the Stinger V for the past 10 years now. Love that stinger. I just wanted to say hi and tell you I appreciate the work you’re doing.

Taylor's Life Lesson Episode One. "You gotta watch where you're going, but you gotta remember where you been."

Over the years I've welded with a lot of different processes, oxy acet, stick, mig, dual shield, tig, subarc, yata yata. My favorite rod is probably 7018 (so long as it's kept in a hot box). Some of my co-workers used to marvel at my overhead and vertical skills, to which I'd reply, it's all about mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter. No, seriously, if you are able to relax and not stress out about the position, it all becomes a lot easier, and your welds will reflect your state of mind.

I don’t even weld but i find this guy very interesting, has a great voice and cadence to want you to listen in. Larry

I’m barely a recreational welder. Self learned, though be it not very well. I’m learning a bunch from your videos while enjoying every minute. Thanks.

Thanks for all your time and effort sharing your impressive knowledge and insights
