Stick WELDING Basics: How to ARC Weld 101

Thanks for the video, very helpful for a beginner, I have just started to learn by YouTube and practice, loads of great advice 👍

I'm just a DIYer. When I first time tried stick welding, I happened to have 7018 rods on hand. This 7018 rods really frustrated me, 9 times out of 10 I get sticky rods, and I found it is so hard. When I changed to 6013 rods, I found that welding became very easy. Therefore, I suggest that beginners should start with 6013.

Yeah brother good video for sure. We need all tutorials to be modeled after this video.

I love no bullshit tutorials. Thank you for this video

Wow, what an awesome video. You gave great information and didn't try to stretch it out for 30 minutes. Thanks!!!

Nice simple instructions. All I want to do to start with is weld up some shaped rebar into an arch for my garden, then maybe move onto some more decorative stuff..

I am not a welder and I’m trying to learn. Your presentation seems to be just what I need. A good quick pace - not too fast, not too slow - and you don’t get bogged down in needless details and become boring. Your voice is very easy to understand and you can get right to the point. Very good presentation job! I’m a fan!

This DIY welding is 110% free educational... Its a wow🎉🎉❤

Basics for beginners! Thanks!

I'm retired and getting back into welding as a hobby. Yours and Tims videos have been an excellent refresher course! I purchased a PrimeWeld Mig-180 to play with.

You do a great job explaining everything, thx for posting.. I will follow you for sure!

Great Video, jumping directly into good stuff.

Excellent! Thank you for the video/info.

awesome video! clear and concise video 👍

Thanks for the video learned a lot, keep them coming...

Thanks for making that video. I used to be a really good stick welder 30 years ago. Recently I tried to weld a trailer hitch and apparently I can’t weld anymore. I really bodged it up.

Great information for beginners. Thank you.

I am a beginner to mess around on this kind of welding process & as a beginner nobody teaches me except on professionals on You Tube, I am so lucky that i found this channel i start with E6013, at first i drew holes on the metal i am practicing then i come up with temperature, I see the difference now as i practice each day plus listening to those professionals guiding me, thank you for sharing on your video

❤ thank you sir. As a retired math teacher and PE teacher and altogether handyman / hillbilly / part that I have to say that one of the things one of the very few things I have experienced in-depth is learning new technology and techniques. That means said I have to congratulate you sir I do not think I've actually seen a better or more well-done or efficient or interesting video when you consider those facts that are most important to me so I have to give you🎉 and a bit of a donation tiny but hey better than nothing thank you sir

Wonderful Video! I have only been welding for about 4 weeks now & your video has been very, very helpful! Thanks again!
