Hammer, I;m with you. Jody puts a lot of time effort and expense into this endeavour so I give the dude two thumz up just for the effort he puts out in addition to holding a job and taking care of a family.

Add me to the list. I've been on a lot of welding sites and seen a bunch of You tube (where I first spotted WT&T.com) and he is the best to watch and listen to.
I'm just an interested hobbiest, but if I were a pro, I'd be here still.

Yes, Thanks Jody. I like the way you weld. Straight forward no BS. I wish I had gone to welding classes earlier in life. I apreciate your videos they are very informative and give me something to shoot for.
Lots of tools to make things.

Darn, I can't understand how I missed this thread earlier. I like to chime in my admiration whenever a thread like this shows up.

Jody has certainly helped to improve my welding skills and technique with his instruction. It is much appreciated. He knows how to get straight to the point and the areas for emphasis. By showing his own (minor) errors it is easy to relate to his instruction and we "less than perfect" welders feel a personal attachment to him.

He is the kind of guy that one wishes that he lived around the corner.

My Turn!
I feel like a kid at Christmas when his videos show up in my inbox! The manner of instruction and the video shots of the welds are unmatched! Jody, you really need to write a book and get this stuff down permanently!
I have learned so much from the message board and this forum as well!
Thanks Jody!
Perfection is impossible, but if you strive for perfection, excellence is obtainable!

I cannot help but say I agree whole hardheartedly guys. Jody puts in simple for forgets the gobblety gook that others try and dazzle you with and bang you have to facts. I appreciate that. I also have to say I love the tig fingers that I got from ya. I pull them out when ever I fire up a welder now. Thanks a bunch Jody. Have a beer on me brother.

Nuts where is that buy me a beer button? I can't find it. (Other Sites have that Jody would be a way for guys to show you they appreciate the hard work you do)

Jody,

Just a quick note to say thanks for such great videos. As a fairly new welder (less than 8 years experience) I find your tips and tricks videos very helpful. Thanks again

We often hear so many negative things about the Internet. For sure, if you are looking for crap, y'll find it! For me the Internet is a vehicle of intelligence and knowledge (I wonder how I could do without in the past...) Thanks to people like Jody and all the others who contribute to it by sharing their know-how. Thanks to all!

I also would like to say thank you for the work you have put into your web site & videos. It seems to me that there just isn't a lot of guys in industry that want to show new guys anything usefull (maybe they are afraid of being showed up if they tell their secrets). Im a recent grad of a JC welding school & I only THOUGHT that I knew how to TIG pipe when I left there. Its prety clear to me now that my instructers couldnt give me an honest apraisal of my skills in welding pipe because, (through no fault of their own) they have spent way more time in classrooms than in industry. So, again, Thanks.

Hi Jody
I am only starting out in the welding game and I want to tell you that when I found your website it was the best thing that could have happened.The videos are so informative and easy to follow and in plain simple language that everyone can understand. It makes all the difference to someone like me to be able to see in detail how it should be done and to where I need to get to.So a big thank you for all the effort you put in.

Regards
Leatherwelder
