Jody, You’re an inspirational guy ! I’ve learned so many great tips over the years . I’ve actually shared many of them with much better welders than me . Good luck with your bone marrow transplant .You’ve got a lot more knowledge to share !
I just want to thank you so much for all the help you have given me thru your efforts. I went from a shy apprentice to a welding instructor/ supervisor for a technical college helping many, many people start new careers. I’m looking forward to the podcasts! Well wishes .
Jody. Great stuff as always.
First and foremost! Thank you and everyone that has helped weldmonger get “here”! We appreciate all the wonderful efforts and humble approach. I recently worked in a very hot climate welding hot dipped galvanized mild steel with a small miller 161s machine. I learned a ton on that project due to the cleaning, grinding, polishing and preburn to get thru that stuff! It was a very rough curve to get thru, we used 6010 to “clean” the weldzone and then finshed with 7018. Worked put really well and improved my skills on clean steel. The main point I discovered was the ambient outside temp really affected the machines amp setting from textbook. The metal was already hot to start with so it helped and the little machine ran great at a slightly lower amperage. 1st time stuff as you say, great fun and again thank you!
Jody I have watched your videos for years. You have helped me tremendously in my welding efforts. Just a home gamer but enjoy the challenge of trying to put down a good looking and strong weld. Thank you for all you have done over these many years putting out really great content. I’m hopeful this upcoming treatment will do the trick for you and you will be in my prayers.
Bless Your heart ..I worked for DELTA for 34.5 Years , Retired from there … I love Tips & Tricks ..
I am NOT a professional welder but I LOVETO KEEP trying to get better on MY little Lincoln Handy MIG .. I do not WELD everyday .. but I have bought several items from you and and I DO USE THEM..
You have ALL OUR PRAYERS and BEST WISHES for good results from your impending Bone MARROW procedure …

Hi Jody
Great first Podcast with a very relevant theme, because we all started somewhere, I think after years of putting out YouTube clips you have become a very good speaker and it shows in this Podcast the experience you have gained over many years of presenting to us, Welding Tips.
Talking about Firsts, I guess my first time sticking two pieces of metal together was when my dad helped me make a little single flue Copper boiler when I was 8 yrs old, Even though it was not Fusion welding I was brazing and joining two pieces together and I guess I was hooked on metal fabrication and welding.
My first fusion welds were two years later when I was Oxy-Acet welding steel together.
And by the way, I still have that little Copper boiler and still enjoy steaming it up once every couple of years and watching the wobbler piston turn the little wheel.
Looking forward to future Podcasts and prey that you continue well in your treatments.
went from a greese monkey on helicopters to a welder building drag car frames
time is on your side ,good luck

Jody, I have learned a lot from your videos, thank you. How about a makeing tungsten selection easer video. Thanks Chris
Hi Jody, this is Bill Ellert (WCE Designs). I sent you the steady rest a while ago and you did a nice video on it, I thank you again. I’m praying for you and I’ve got faith in your strength! I know you’ll be a marine “adapt, and overcome” I’ve been slowed down myself recently with a quadruple bypass, which was a surprise. I’m healing now and rehabbing and slowly getting back in my shop.
So again, God bless you, God protect you and give you strength and thank you for all you do 🙏🏼🙏🏼
