WM BLITZ VIDEO #22 Andrew Cardin Free Handing TIG Overhead Socket Weld
For me, Socket welds were something I learned how to weld on the job.
My school was focussed on getting me to the place where I could pass a 6G weld test and I guess they knew I would learn socket welds after I passed a test.
I definitely could have benefitted from a bit of socket weld practice before being thrown to the wolves but I managed anyway.
So this is a video I would have loved to have watched before welding my first overhead socket weld.
Andrew Cardin and I filmed this together and we decided to go with a TIG finger and freehand technique instead of walking the cup because its common to have obstacles in your way that prevent walking the cup when you are on a pipe job.
