welding videos has been brewing for a long time, and when <a title=\"1927 Ford Roadster\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Garage\/pikesan\" target=\"_blank\">Pikesan<\/a> asked if I&#8217;d be interested in doing something with MyRideisMe.com, that was the final straw!\u00a0 Although it&#8217;s taken almost a pair of years to finally have something to show, I think you&#8217;ll enjoy and hopefully benefit from the series.<\/p>\n<p>After I started the Welder Series <a title=\"Welder Series on YouTube\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/welderseries?blend=2&amp;ob=1&amp;rclk=cti\" target=\"_blank\">parts assembly videos<\/a> on YouTube, people began emailing to ask why I weld the way I do, and to please offer some tips.\u00a0 I was flattered that people were even watching the videos, let alone asking me for welding tips!\u00a0 From the beginning, they were never intended to be welding tutorials &#8211; I was just putting parts together!<\/p>\n<p>Basically, in these videos, I&#8217;ll be bringing you into the Welder Series shop and blabbing away about welding.\u00a0 The videos\u00a0 will be loosely broken down into categories based on whatever aspect of welding I feel like talking about at the time.\u00a0 I might even slip in some general shop tips once in a while&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>What I won&#8217;t do is tell you what type of gas to use for which grade of steel, recommend what tungsten to use, what heat setting to run for different material thickness, etc.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not a welding supplies salesman&#8230; I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;d be happy to answer those questions for you.<\/p>\n<p>In this video, I focus on different ways to hold a tig torch.\u00a0 Notice I didn&#8217;t say &#8220;the best way&#8221;&#8230; the best way will be the most comfortable for you.<\/p>\n<span class=\"vvqbox vvqyoutube\" style=\"width:575px;height:355px;\"><span id=\"vvq-7927-youtube-1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CYRDnc5UbEY\"><img
