    I'm female and don't need to know this welding stuff but I often saw my father and men welding with all this flashing stuff and wondered what the MIG welding they said they were doing involved. I thought there was just one kind and had no idea about types of wire,gases,machines involved. 5his guy is pretty knowledgeable about MiG welding and very practical, "hands on". I learned something new here. In case I ever need to know about MIG welding. To add to my mental stash of interesting "miscellaneous information".
  • Man I was already stoked to learn how to weld and after watching your videos, It all makes sense and only strengthens my faith in my decision. Thank you for all of this!!!

    Wow! That dual shield makes a sexy weld (looks like E7018 for wire feed). Thanks for clarifying all this Tim!
