Mr TIG Will be doing videos using Everlast welders and here is the very fist one

For the TIG beginner, this is a pretty good video to get one's feet wet in the terminology and technology. The car guy did a good job asking for clarification and getting additional information what most common viewers might ask. I like how the green was really prominent but I think he understated just how important some of the features of the 185 are as the 185 has a remarkable range for AC balance and frequency for its price point. People love to see welds and welding. I was a bit disappointed he didn't show either in this video. I suspect he'll get into those in the next two(?) in this series. Oh, he inaccurately stated the 185 can be used for stick welding. Not sure if this will affect anyone. Look forward to seeing more!

I agree with you .. but it will be 2 more videos coming up with actual welding

Of course it could be used for stick welding. Any constant current power source can be. It just doesn't come equipped for it, so you would have to do a few things to make it happen. But if was the only machine you had, and you needed to stick weld, you could.

Welding voltages wouldn't be optimal. Stick voltages should be higher than the voltages you would use to TIG.

He sounds like he's teaching a kindergarden class. I like Jody Collier's videos much more.

Eric is the mechanic and it was mostly done for his YouTube channel EricTheCarGuy. MOST of Eric's audiences never TIGed before

[Rambozo]

He still sounds like he's teaching a kindergarden class.

If I ever need to teach a five year old, or maybe an 85 year old, I know where to send them. I couldn't watch more than half way this time. I guess some people might need that level of instruction, but then again, some people just shouldn't weld.

I would agree, but I think this is aimed at total n00bs. I'll wait and see what happens in the next one.

This is constant current, voltage is a function of arc length, the operator has control over the actual welding voltage and it will vary depending on technique. Hook up a volt meter and watch or video it while you're stick welding and have a look. With generator welders or drooping transformer welders you even have some control over current by manipulating the stick, something that inverters have to simulate with software. It's nice to have, but not required. Hell, many trailside repair welds have been made with a couple of car batteries and some cables. It's all about run what you brung.

Kinda like Rod and his car batteries and coat hanger wire! LOL

[sportbike]

I agree Zoama....5 minutes worth of information stretched to 17 minutes.

People have different styles. Wyatt comes from "This Old House" school of teaching. Jody's from the Tim Allen (Tool time) school of teaching. Both have their place. People learn differently.

[zoama]

Being a fan of This Old House, I don't think I've seen an episode where they did the show from an empty lot beside the house and never mentioned the actual house or even looked toward it.

Actually, according to our demographic information provided by youtube., the viewership on welding drops off significantly after only a few seconds. Most of the time it peaks during a discussion of "how to" and the actual results of the weld for a 4-5 seconds before sliding back off. Only thing I can figure is that it gets repetitive after about 10 seconds or so. The best Idea is to have a blend.

one more ..

one more ..

I liked this one more than the first. I think the beginner would get a better appreciation for what's involved and how it would be applicable to them. Wish they put a mic on Eric. The voice volume was a bit hit and miss - like it was in the first video too. I can see the guidance about the HF starts confusing people too. Touch but don't touch. I can see viewers wanting to see the next one for tips on adding filler.

[zoama]

If the machine has HF there's no reason to touch the tungsten to your work... at least he didn't have the guy practice turning the knob this time.
