Everything You Need To Know About Welding | How To MIG | Workshop Diaries | Edd China

Each time you weld, you honor my late father. My father invented the current mig/mag nuzzle with the patent nr: 4956541. RIP my dad, Ossi Hiltunen.

I know it's mean to say, but it's such a relief to not have a Mike Brewer barge in to interrupt "class" to talk about money. As really this is very instructive and educational.

Edd, I've been watching beginner welding videos for a while and this is exactly what I needed - clear, structured, and focused on what you need to know - you nailed it!

What a great bloke, engineer and presenter. He is so well liked on here, I can't see why the TV channels haven't signed him up.

When I was an hourly employee for Caterpillar Tractor Company in the early 1970's I learned how to first stick weld and then went to mig welding using submerged aic where the shielding is caused by a granular flux that is deposited at the same time as the wire and it melts to form a slag just like stick welding and is one of the hardest to learn because you cannot see the weld puddle and you have to judge it by the glow thru the flux. Before moving to being a machinist I learned and mastered out of position welding including pipe and overhead welding, aluminum and stainless steel and even friction welding. All things that helped me later on as a quality analyst for failure investigation.

This was legitimately better information than I learned from My welding instructor.i would love to see a tig master class.

Welding has seemed like a dark art to me for years but this video has made it far simpler and more accessible. Thanks Ed.

As my boss said when I was learning to weld - if your weld sounds like frying bacon, you're doing well, if it smells like frying bacon you should reconsider.

My dad was a certified three position welder back in the day. Video brings back lots of memories. This is absolutely one of the best tutorial videos on welding they I have seen. Great job Ed and team!

Man, this video came at the right time. Yesterday i bought inverter welder from Lidl/Aldi so that i could learn welding from my father, my father has 40+ years experience with welding a lot of different stuff, mostly in welding water turbines, screws and so on. Today i finally tried and i am happy that my father is teaching me welding. It was my life goal for many many years. Obviously my welds are not great, i am too fast from what my father is telling me but hey, i am learning and eventually i will be making a good enough welds. Live and learn.

I'm starting out trying to understand welding before I buy anything. This is the first video that has made real sense, so thank you.

Ed is a genius for picking a Range Rover to restore on his channel. Even with a team of 8 men working full time it will take about 436 episodes to finish.

And this is where Edd shines! He explains so well, like no other! This is why he is always so interesting and enjoyable to watch. This video is going right into my metal shop folder! Thankful for you brother Edd!!!

My MIG night class instructor was an ex REME Master Metalsmith. He explained that it is vital to remember welding is just an electrical circuit. As such, good contacts are crucial. So, make sure your earth us attached as close as possible to your work & ensure the connection area is clean metal together with the area to weld 👍

I always walk away with knowing more than I did watching Edd videos. Bought a new welder and cannot wait to dive in. Been on my bucket list to learn. It seems to be therapeutic to me while being creative while actually repairing something or improving a part. Thanks Edd. Love your content. ❤️

Been welding for a couple of years semi professionally, taught myself what I know from various youtube videos. I learned a few tips from this, probably the most informative YouTube welding video I’ve watched

Absolutely wonderful to see you back. I've been looking for the confidence to get started on welding, and I think this is the thing to do it. I would never have had the confidence to start working on cars in the first place if I hadn't seen you making it look like something I could actually do all those years ago, so thank you so much for continuing to push me forward!

Ed is a brilliant teacher and should be elevated to Professor Ed (status) by now. Another great and informative video and I look forward to more of these in-depth subjects.

Best explanation of welding types EVER 👍🏻👍🏻

Welcome back stranger! Never get enough of your workshop enthusiasm. Rather than producing a one size fits all, how about a faster moving less detailed show with a monthly workshop going into the Edd detail that we love? Would rather have a two speed workshop than no workshop at all. I love to see your skills applied in projects but as a frustrated spanner I could listen to you talking nuts and bolts for hours. Keep safe. Keep broadcasting. Your brand is unique.
