Sewing With Fire Welding

Using the Chronos 1.4 high speed camera with Helios lights. If your weld starts sound like popcorn… this is why 🍿🔥

Common MIG issue when learning:

Wire feed too high for your voltage = wire stubbing into the puddle instead of melting clean.

Result: spatter + ugly starts

Fix:
Turn your voltage up until the arc smooths out.

Small change. Big difference.

7/8” MULTI-PASS FILLET WELD 🔥

This one’s all about control and consistency.

Running a multi-pass fillet weld at 7/8” size, working from the bottom up and stacking each pass with intention.
If you rush the bottom, the whole weld suffers. Take your time, let each pass support the next, and carry that puddle smoothly right around the edges.

When your buddy asks for two quick tacks… don’t let anyone talk you into that 30 minute project.

Those two hours could be the most draining five days of your life

If you know, you know.

Share with your buddy who always says “this’ll be quick.”

Don’t Weld Without This PPE

This is the minimum PPE every welder should have on before striking an arc.

No matter your experience level:
Beanie/cap
Safety glasses
Respirator
FR shirt
Gloves
Steel toe boots
Welding helmet

Simple gear that prevents serious injuries.

5G Pipe Weld – 3” Carbon Steel (6010 / 7018)

Running a 3” Schedule 40 pipe in the 5G position.

Started with a 6010 root to keyhole and tie in properly, then stacked 7018 for the fill and cap.

This is the kind of weld that separates beginners from pipe welders.

Let me know—would you run this uphill or downhill?

If you’ve spent any time welding, you’ve probably done every single one of these 😅

It’s all part of the learning curve—and every welder has been there.

The struggle is real 🔥

Skills Ontario 2026 showcasing students stepping up and putting their welding skills to the test.

Competitions like this build confidence, skill, and the next generation of tradespeople. Respect to everyone who competed 👏

One small mistake can fail your entire weld test.

If you leave a gap, slag gets trapped underneath the plate — and it WILL show up in your bend test.

This is one of the most common issues I see with students.

FLUXCORE -Push or Pull is the question of the day. Is this just preference or does it actually make a difference. Some say pulling will give more pe*******on and with a slag producing weld you should probably drag.

We put 5 popular brands to the test:
Lincoln Excalibur, ESAB 55, Linde, Pro Star, and Linde Sureweld.

If you weld, you’ll definitely notice the difference.
