Learning to Weld DVD
Hosted by Rick Russell

If you are going to modify your Jeep, knowing how to weld is essential. Experienced welding instructor Michael Vanvakaris teaches Rick Russell exactly how to weld the right way, using an Underhood Welder. The interaction between them keeps the video on a practical level and holds the attention of both the first-time novice and experienced welder alike. This video assumes the viewer has little or no welding knowledge and begins with the basics on the safety equipment needed. Once the safety gear is reviewed, Michael explains to Rick and the viewers the difference between a “good” and “bad” weld. Then it’s on to preparation, electrode types (rods), striking an ARC and welding patterns. ARC welding is the main focus with chapters on MIG and TIG welding. This video is full of examples, including viewing actual welding patterns through a filter. You will get to see firsthand the endless benefits of owning an underhood welder. It can be mounted under the hood of your 4x4 or in the back of your utility truck. Running time approximately 105 minutes.
