Welding thick metal to thin metal can be tricky! Today I'm going to share how you can weld thin metal to thick metal without blowing through. This comes up a lot when you're using premade lightweight gates and many other situations.

    Having been a heavy duty mechanic / welder for 35 plus years I have seen many struggle with trying to stick thick and thin pieces together. It’s a bit tricky yes but as you just showed and explained very well. It’s not that hard to do with proper technique and a little practice. Important to concentrate the heat to the thicker piece and just let the weld puddle flow to the thinner material great video again 👍

    Thank you for taking the time to teach things like this im a rancher that has no experience in welding but because of your videos have been able to build my own cattle corral and head chute and pipe fenceing.
  • Put the heat on the thicker metal and allow the puddle to wash over the thinner metal
  • I ain’t nothing but a ol mig welder but I still enjoy watching you talk on these videos
  • A Ross I’ve been watching you for a long time now and I realize that I really have gotten a lot of input from you and a lot of information has helped me along the way now I’m ready for that school that you were offering so I’m gonna look into that here real soon buddy thank you very much
  • You are a natural Teacher Austin. All the best from Australia
  • @aborntexan
    Excellent video. I really enjoy how you explain what you are doing and why. I learned to weld in high school way back about 30 years ago! Could have used some of your tips over the years. Keep em coming and I'll keep watching!
  • That's so cool that you realized that these lessons are relevant to our trade. I've worked with 100's of welder's in a 45+ year career. Learned what you just did long ago the hard way. I'm very impressed with your whole gitdown. Your make em not break em, approach to teaching is the right way. Myself learned how as a helper until good enough to test out. Political philosophies have destroyed jobs here in California. You ever need a assistant instructor or any kind of help please holler
  • Thank you Austin. I've been watching your videos for a very very long time since you came out and I just want to say thank you. You taught me a lot All. I'm just starting to begin to get in welding and it'll be my birthday next Friday
  • Now that's how y'all put hinges on a gate the right way. God bless, work safe. 😃

    Thank you so much Austin. That just fixed my whole week!! That puddle footage and explanation brings back so many memories I can't hardly explain it.
  • @thomaslecour2462
    What an awesome dude willing to share the love of welding the right way, I only wish everyone practiced the joy of life god allows. You are the best, very proud to subscribe to your blessings
  • Thanks for sharing with us Austin. That was awesome today. Always learning from your videos. Fred.
  • Man your videos have gotten really good. Hopefully one day I can get this youtube stuff figured out too.
  • @JonDingle
    Here in the UK, "thin" is anything under 2mm or roughly 1/16th of an inch. So anything above that is weldable without the risk of blowing a hole as soon as you arc up or make short stitch welds.
  • I learned to weld while working for rumpke. Replacing bottoms on dumpsters and roll offs, you learn to weld thick to thin. New to old essentially. Had to hold fluids otherwise it's a 10000 fine from the EPA per can. I learned real quick
  • @azizaviation
    Great video simple instructions right to the point
  • Excellent material!!!! Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina!!!
