Vertical Stick Welding for Beginners | Lesson #1 | Run Your First Vertical Bead

In this lesson, I'm showing you how to practice vertical stick welding using nothing more than a piece of scrap 2" x 2" x 3/16" angle iron. You don't need expensive equipment or a welding school loan to start building real welding skills. The goal isn't perfection. The goal is getting hood time and building the muscle memory that every welder needs. If you're new to welding, grab some scrap steel, strike an arc, and follow along.
