My Welding Side Hustle

This Jody kid is second to none. Very easy to understand and I would love to have him as a teacher. He makes you want to listen for hours, amazing person.

Man, I was watching your videos when I was in welding school back in 2013 I’m 33 years old now been in business for almost 8 years and I still think you are one of the best instructional welders on YouTube. Glad this randomly popped back on my feed. Don’t know how it hadn’t sooner, love seeing your videos.

TipsandTricks has been...and still remains to be the premier welding channel. Bob Moffat deserves an honorable mention but Jody is the best. Period. Thx for years of tips sir!

great seeing all these older clips, makes me think back to when i was starting out as a welder. every day after getting home from a 12hr shift i would watch videos of yours and i enjoyed them all and i sure did learn a lot from every one of them. i wouldnt be where i am today if it wasnt for you. (and your tig-finger!) youre a great person and the best teacher. thank you for all the lessons youve given us.

been watching you for some years off and on think you were one of the first Welding channels I’ve watch And really right off the bat knew You were the Man ! Just clear , respectful, straight to the point , And knowledgeable Bulk of my welding experience has been heat exchanger / vessel shops A little fabrication, some shipyard , and a little field work

Jody, Thanks again for another great video, my side hustle has become removing broken bolts and exhaust studs, it pays most of my bills .

You are honestly the best. If someone was to work alongside you they should pay you in gold!!

As a welder who has welded many of these kinds of parts as well as multiple types and base metals for pressure vessels, I can tell you he does a nice job demonstrating and explaining these welding processes. I also built my own rotating fixture using a tig pedal for speed control. I often have each foot on the pedals for both current and rotation control, as well as the tig torch in one hand and the filler metal in the other! I was also the choice of many machine and welding shops until I retired! Praise God for the gifts he gave me to raise my family!

Glad you touched this topic!! I just got some overflow work and piece work from some small local shops 👨🏾‍🏭💰🔥👍🏾

Wow thank you for sharing. This video has been invaluable to me already a couple times in my self taught welding/fabrication. Rewatching many months later provides a different perspective.

You know I've been watching your videos for a long time when I recognize almost all of the past clips! Excellent as always.

Watching your videos (as a super novice hobby welder) gives so much insight into how a person could truly make a career out of it with enough time and practice. Your knowledge is off the charts!

We Love you Jody!!! ❤

Your videos are a tremendous service to the world of engineering. Your videos show countless practical attainable applications in welding. If it weren't for you, I'd have never learned to weld. I'm more in management now, but when we get new designers, we show them your videos and give them some hood time on the in-house equipment so they can know what it's like, and make use of the fine fellows who perform the actual welding work.

Hi Jody, another great video. I really enjoy seeing them.

Me and my grandpa used to watch your videos 10 years ago. A lot of nice memories came to mind, thank you!

It's 6:00 a.m. here. I'm starting my day and happy to see your work man 👨. Thanks for the video.

This was great to look back at all the old videos of yours that taught me nearly everything i know about welding!!! thanks again Jody!

First time watching one of your videos. If this video was about having a side hustle. In today’s American broken economy and a 20% drop of employment in this manufacturing sector, I hardly consider this a side hustle. Being a manufacturing engineering for 15 years you do a nice job in demonstrating your procedures. Great video on welding process and assembly.

Love it! As a newish hobbyist I appreciate seeing all the different processes and applications. I can't imagine there are many people skilled in so many different areas within the vast field of welding. There are far fewer still that are willing to put it out in a video format that benefits so many people. Thanks!
