Hey man, thank you so much for making this video. You've earned a new subscriber. I just got a cheap Chinese stick welder from Amazon for like $90. I'm not looking to become a fabricator or anything like that. I have little to no previous welding experience, but I want to be able to fix/repair/build little things around here on the ranch without having to hire a professional welder to come out for a 10 minute solution that costs me $150. I fired up my little Hone welder today and just played with it on my makeshift setup using a bunch of scrap steel I bought from the local scrapyard, and was very impressed with how the little welder performed even with my limited knowledge and experience. I was able to run a respectable bead across some flat steel, then cut a couple of 5" pieces of 3/4" square tube with a 45 degree miter joint. Was able to tack the joint using a magnet to hold the pieces at a perfect 90 and then go around the joint and make it strong. I blew through the outside of the joint and learned how to fill in the gap with some pretty sketchy methods of arc-puddle-wait, arc-puddle-wait, and ended up with a terrible looking joint that was at least strong and solid, and I can grind it down and it will look pretty decent. I decided to google, "how to keep my welding rod from wiggling", and ended up here. I had NO idea that you could steady the rod with a finger, and was a little stymied by the fact that the shake in my hand was translating into a 1"+ wobble at the end of a new rod. So far, I'm pretty happy with my first day of welding, and even though I've managed to weld my workpiece to the table, my vise grips to the table, my magnet to my vise grips, my welding rod to every damned thing, and at one point, my rod to my ground clamp (THAT was exciting), I'm getting it figured out. Welding is something that was always a mystery to me. I've done just about every other type of craftsman work across multiple industries, but I've never really liked working with metal. I'm really looking forward to getting better at this, and I'm happy to have found your channel to help me with that. Keep up the good work!

6013 is rod used mostly (mostly) outside of the US in the developing world (or poor countries). They use it for EVERYTHING (including everything it shouldn't be used for). I know because I've travelled abroad over the last two decades and always liked seeing what kind of local welding was going on. It's invariably 6013 and sometimes 7018 but mostly 6013. What you'll never, NEVER see is a 6010.

Yes. I am from Eastern Europe, 6010/6011 are not even available. I'm not really sure what pipe welders use here for the root pass, probably 7018 on en. I only do light fabrication and mostly use flux core, t11.

Great video's. I have been welding now for 50 years and have truly enjoyed your videos. I still have an old Miller Thunderbold AC/DC welder that still works great that I bought in 1984. Anyways, way back when the Alaska Oil Pipeline was built, an old welder who worked on it gave me a bunch of welding rod they used when he came back to the lower 48. I don't recall the brand but they were 333 and 444 rods as marked on them. The 444 rods replaced the 333 rods because the 333 would crack once in a while he told me. I used the 444 rod all up about 25 years back now on excavator buckets and other heavy equipment. As I recall, it was the smoothest rod I have used, maybe to this day. The repairs seemed bullet proof too. The rods were 1/8 and seemed to be about 20 - 24 inches long or so too. Again... Excellent videos you have posted!!!!!

Also make sure you eat and drink, and don’t drink caffeine, nicotine doesn’t help thought I do vape, some drugs might make it worse also. Last thing, I know getting your hand further down the stinger gives you more range of motion, and keeps your hand away from the heat when your rod gets small, but the lower your hand is on the stinger, the more leverage you have so the end of the rod will move more with small movement or shakes with your hand. Sometimes choking up on the stinger can help. And stay calm don’t get frustrated

I recently bought a 1972 red face SA 200 for my first welding machine and have been practicing 6010 and 7018 everyday after school for a couple hours in all positions. I’ve been having trouble running 1/8 and 3/32 7018 vertical. My puddle keeps falling out no matter my arc length, adjusted heat up and down but to no avail. Could it be bad/older rods?
