Sometimes you get an overhead socket weld that is in a corner and you need to swap hands.
Andrew Cardin uses both left and right hands for this 3 pass socket weld in 4F position

Andrew Cardin TIG welding a 1F and a 2F outside corner joint,
while we were filming this weld, we noticed the cleaning action wasn't quite what it should be so we did a separate video
https://welderskills.vhx.tv/videos/argon-cleaning-testing to show how we tuned the argon flow

Andrew Cardin came for a visit and while we were filming some routine aluminum joints, we noticed something was not quite right.
so we stopped and did some testing on argon flow rates and we both learned some things.

TIG welding Sanitary Stainless Tubing is in high demand from time to time and right now, There are several jobs going on that are hiring. One is Sierra Nevada Brewery.
Sanitary Welding means that the inside of the weld is "Sanitary" - and that means its free from contamination or rough areas whe...

This Video shows settings and techniques that would be used for a branch connection test. Yes its a practice plate but the welding techniques apply

I'm gonna use 7018 and show you some great methods for practice.
padding beads is the best way to build the skills for running a uniform bead
stick welding with 7018 1/8"

Basic build up pad with 7018. Right off the bat, what you want to do with any type of welding is get yourself comfortable. Something as simple as turning a plate a few degrees on a table can make all the difference.

Stick welding with 5/32" 7018 in 5F position, Round Tube to plate weld with Andrew.

Welding Overhead 4F position tube to plate with 5/32" 7018 is a bit more challenging than with smaller electrodes but the same fundamentals apply for the most part.
Tight arc length, rod angle, and restarts are demonstrated with instructive arc shots and body positioning.

Andrew's company is seeing welding procedures for open root 7016. Before tackling an open root pipe with 7016, some might benefit from a few practice plates. Fitup, featheriing tack welds, arc length, rod angle, are discussed.
