Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Great content and video! I can appreciate your work and teaching ethics. Much of your "rambling" hits home with how I operate my self-employed dog training business. Thanks for the effort and looking forward to seeing what's on your horizon.

thanks Greg for your time and efforts. It is appreciated.

Keep up the good work! Your efforts are appreciated 👍🏻

What is the name of this black rule?

As soon as I read the title of the channel a long time ago, I knew it was going to be gold. Just honest no frills wisdom about a topic I enjoy and appreciate. Thanks for sharing your time with all of us.

You are just the kind of guy I would want to have a beer with and shoot the shit on a friday evening after a long hard work week. Keep being you! BTW I learned alot from your channel too.

Your content is deeply thought-provoking! - "Trust in your potential to lead your journey."

Thanks for the behind the scenes look into you and your channel. Your wittiness and view of just the project and hands makes the channel unique. I guess finding an article with your picture helps me picture the person behind the voice. Keep up the hard work, I appreciate it. I've been able to build a few things and do some repairs since finding your channel. Thanks for all your instruction and inspiration.

Ya know Greg? I've been keeping an eye out for your tat and an ear open at the harbor freight for your voice. Looking mainly to ask you about everything you covered in this video. That and you try to convince you to test drive my ginormous transformer welder. And maybe buy you a ginger beer. Thanks for the explanation and the inside info on what is what. Some day om actually going to makes a video after I record the content instead of breaking my phone and losing the footage. You missed the other revenue stream though... Patreon! A lot of people have patrons donating 5 bucks or whatever s month. That has the add up quick!!! You gotta get you some of that! (I Hope this doesn't get demonized for that tag line infringement...)

What a comprehensive overview! But I missed one thing: How did your first videos "get found"? How did you get your reach? Was it regularly uploading stuff? Was it "right topic at the right time" ?!

That’s so damn true. Love that last few minutes. Very true and wise words ! 🫶🏼

Good morning Greg. Your channel is and will continue to be a success because of your ability to educate people and make it understandable, educational, and fun to learn. I know that I said educate twice but I'm old so... Anyway, you are doing a great many people a huge favor by what you do and how you do it. God bless and have a wonderful day. 👍👍🙂

So many things to say and appreciate the honesty and big thank you for the efforts you have and do put in for “us” essentially.. But Certified RUclips Welder… I need these for my shop to give to the costumers who like to tell me all the facts they “know” 🤔 too eventually find out they seen it on RUclips hahahah!! Click bait words or US/Canadian terminology, not same Down Under Australia 🇦🇺 Silly duffers.

I think affiliation with other YT channels is a speedy way to introduce grow, giving a very powerful synergy. The down side is that you run an education and somehow boobs and entertainment are rewarded higher. I like your style , Man to Man/woman talk and down to earth . Thank you for what you are doing.

Something that bothers me form the start of looking at all this tests... OK... something failed, and something else did not.. But.. what was the max stress that it resisted, before it start to decline (top of stress/strain curve) ? After all... when you have part, you frequently do not care did it hold, if it's bended. And then, max stress on the linear part of stress/strain curve it resisted is one that counts.. Ok.. max stress is not exactly top of elestic (elastic is lower), but it's next best thing cos you do not have equipement to measure deformation.

What or who do you call or do when OSHA needs to be reported? Just asking

How do you know I’m not drunk? Why else would I watch. Thanks for the electrifying content.

Interesting, ESAB in Australia is CIG (commonwealth industral gasses) esab and coloured blue. I just bought their blue venom 190xf. It's a single phase inverter multi function machine

Hold on time out! Metals have the push or pull in them ALREADY....is this an against like back to back or against as to oppose? Time stamp 0:42 me jumping the gun sorry 😮

Accidentally got into flux core because I got a cheapo mig and wanted to test it out before getting a bottle and regulator that would cost almost as much as the machine. Absolutely fell in love and never got round to setting it up for gas. Flux core is amazing.

I'm just going to say I am 7:22 into this video and I've already learned so much - as a noob - this is exactly the video (or series) I needed. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I appreciate it. 👍👍

I'm as surprised as a very surprised thing. My introduction to arc welding was a three day course about 25 years ago, and for the whole first day we were getting rod angle drummed into us without any explanation of what difference a few degrees plus or minus would make. Soon after that I started working occasional repair and fabrication on MIG and forgot all about stick. Now in midlife and trying to learn stick at least to some reasonable degree of proficiency, regretting that I didn't get these kind of insights back when my brain was more absorbent!

Thank You for not resorting to CLICKBAIT or any other form of cheesy ways to gain or draw in views. The majority of us are finding your channel and subscribing because we are all seeking knowledge and inspiration. Your content and video titles are what attracts us to your channel and I’m sure many would agree that your style is like hanging out with a buddy and not about BS content! In short, you inspire us to be better people and welder/fabricators. I for one applauded your entire approach and find it quite refreshing. Thank You

This is so much more educational than just reading the theory that says "because reasons".

My old dad said about the same as you, “it’s not what you make, it’s what you save”. Bless you for what you do, and I’m not even religious. Great content and I can tell you’re a working man. Thank you

Great video, and your conclusion was spot-on about the negative commenters. I wonder how much money is being left on the table by Google/RUclips's poor selection of ads that I have no interest in and hit Skip as soon as the option is available. Google likely knows me better than anyone and should be able to better target ads at me that I might have some interest in watching. Instead I get so many ads for online anime games which are right up the alley of most ~60 yr old guys who watch welding channels (ha!), or the same solar panel ad a thousand times over, etc. It would seem Google doesn't know me at all!

Awesome video! Great insight and thank you for sharing!

Hi Greg, Thanks again for all of your time and effort you put into these it really does help me become better. At one point you say, had to do a lot of manipulation forward and back just to keep it from blowing through. My question is, is there a way you read the puddle to see it's getting close to blowing through or you just know from experience that you need to go forward and back to reduce the heat to keep it from blowing through?

Great work as always, really enjoy watching your videos and learning from you.

Dude you provide great content. I would happily submit to a mid video advertisement if it would help you out in any way. The content is worth it for me.

Thanks for this Greg.

Here's some ideas for QFTB: does metal have water in it that needs to be burned off prior to welding? Can you make an acceptable weld downhill on a frame? Cut frame perpendicular or diagonal to weld?

Great video and you make a tremendous impact by helping other people learn about welding. I greatly value your knowledge and all your contributions made through your channel. Many thanks Greg!!!

Where do you buy your steel? I buy my steel from a small, cut to length supplier near me. Their prices are very reasonable. They have a drop shop, where they sell short lengths. Many cities in the Midwest have suppliers like that. You may try searching for a cut to length supplier in your area and see if there are cheap options.

Too bad you’re not a hot chick with a big rack. You could wear a shear top and pour water on yourself and get a million views every couple weeks. Ridiculous! In a few years when they gain some weight, they’ll wish they knew a little something about root fusion, or hydrogen embrittlement. They won’t have any skills to fall back on except flashing their cooter. I like your content, I’ve learned a lot watching you, keep doing what you’re doing Greg. Your channels one of my favorites. Thanks.

Thanks for doing everything you do. It’s helping me finish my apprenticeship the way you explain stuff just makes sense. Cheers

Thank you for all of the content you provide as well as the positive insight that you share. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your channel since the first time that I stumbled across it. Congratulations on the growth an I always look forward to the next video 💯

Best of luck, Greg. You’re a good guy. It seems like you’re paying it forward without saying you’re paying it forward. 😊

Greg thanks for putting it out there Your channel has helped me be a better welder Fabrication videos would also be of interest to me Looking forward to your next video!

Thank you very much for sharing.

Agreed informational vids are beneficial to help others learn. the comedy are ok but those make more money for the creator than these.

My welding "side hustle" is edging close to full time employment

Having made instruction type videos, I can confirm that a normal 15 minute job will take at least 45 minutes when you try to record it. And cameras will fail when you stop looking at them. This is why I often suggest 2 identical cheaper cameras (often used and a couple generations old), that second angle can really save your bacon. Look at the Trex install video on my channel, about half way through the "primary" angle shut off. And with multiple cameras, make certain both are recording audio, again to save your bacon. Suggested cameras: used Panasonic G85 up to used Panasonic GH5. Yes you can still use an old GH2, I have two of these and some parts cameras, they are OK but not really suggested anymore. The GH2 will need hacked firmware! Another possible starter camera is Sony ZV1, a lot of camera for a pretty decent used price. The Fuji X-T5 that he talks about is really nice, but not where you should start. If I was doing more "stuff", I'd probably step up to a Fuji X-H2, I already have Fuji lenses from my old still camera (X-T1) so the cost to entry is " lower" for me, and all the lenses I have for the GH2 can be adapted to anything "full frame" or smaller. Broadcast television is my background.

Speaking of time...I rarely comment...but your reasons for doing what you do are so commendable. Cheers from a Canadian welder.

Thanks for this video. Very inspirational. Thanks for your other videos and the replies you sent me. Starting to do really good welds now. Thanks again and best of luck for the future.

Thanks for this detail, I appreciate the behind the curtain view. I’ve learned a lot from your content, mostly how much I have to learn yet, and would love to see woodworking content some day. Thank you

Just found your channel a few days ago, totally hooked and tremendously grateful for the effort and information you put into your videos. By far the most informative and thorough welding videos I've seen anywhere on the 'tube.

Time for a face reveal! Y'all like this comment if you agree. Im betting our boy has one hell of a mustache.

This is the first time I've seen what is involved in running a YT channel. It has a lot of interesting information for someone who wants to get into it for fun and profit. Thanks for being upfront about it. Your videos have inspired me to create a welding "training course" for myself where I have tried to follow along with all the different processes you have shown over the last few months. Since January 29 to be exact. I have made lots of fillet welds filled with overlapping beads in all four positions (flat, horiz., vert. up, overhead) with mig, flux core, 6013, 7018, 6010, and 6011 rods. So far I've filled over 30 of these. I try to practice for an hour or two daily and write in a notebook the things that I've learned. So, yes you have helped a lot of people become better and more confident welders Keep up the good work. 👍
