    Default Rule of 3's

    Had to weld up a small steel box. 4 corner welds. I remembered Jody's rule of 3's...30 pulses, 30% background current, and 30% on time. Worked like a charm. I'm glad Jody takes the time to put together his videos. They have helped me immensely.

    He does some great videos! I keep hoping that I can get a machine with all the "bells and whistles" so I can try out some of the techniques and settings that he shows in his videos.

    That website is the only reason I'm here. Jody is definitely a fantastic resource, and the only reason I heard of Everlast to begin with. Heck - I'd love it if Everlast just sent him machines to demo and post videos about. He has done some videos with the little PA140ST, which have been great to remind me that my crappy welds aren't the fault of the machine

    I can't wait until I can afford a pulse and AC-capable TIG machine so I can really get down to business melting things. Until then, I have to stick to the 'simple' end of the spectrum from what I've learned at weldingtipsandtricks.com (which has STILL been invaluable, and is frankly the place that gave me the courage to bite the bullet and just buy a machine and start sticking things together)

    All over our machines weld very well. But with a little of practice, you can lay down some nice beads and build/repair projects. Now with a heck of a lot of practice you can weld like Jody too

    BTW, I doubt he is talking while welding and that is added later A video of him videoing would be interesting, he does great work.

    I love Jody's videos, he's a great teacher and I'm sure he sells lots of Everlast welders... Mr T**, not so much, probably does more harm than good but that's just my opinion.

    And what's up with Mr. Tig's weird dance he does in the intro of his videos?
