Sun, 14 Dec 2025 01:24:29 +0000

In this video I will be sharing 3 tips on how to strike a welding rod for beginners. Some, including myself, have givin beginner welders the advice of "just strike it like a match" but over my 17 years of stick welding experience I have learned that it is actually better to Not strike the welding rod like a match. So in this video I share 3 tips to help beginners strike an arc with out getting as frustrated. 1. get comfortable. Not just stance wise but welding gear, shirt, hood and all. 2. make sure you have a good ground connection. 3. be gentle.
