The Guy Y'all OUGHT To Be Watching

admin

I've seen enough crappy "how to" videos for a lifetime  Seems the most popular are the ones put up by folks that really don't do that well at what they're doing, but people seem to like them for some reasonWatch the rod motion, rod position, and the PUDDLE.  This is what it's all about.  I love this guy.  If you need to learn technique, this is the man to watch!Pure beauty!!Very nice!!!!!!!!!Note how you don't see the droopy "pause at the corners, and let it run" weave??  Pure artistry!!!!!And something for the beginnerYou may not like the guy's sense of humor, and you might not like to see someone who's better than most of the others, but you sure gotta admit that he's on top of his game.  Mediocrity is like a plague, don't get caught up in it"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

I know some incredible welders.Old Iron workers-boilermakers....60 plus hour/week under the hood guys. I've never seen anyone any better than this Res guy.Known many just as good It's like comparing great guitarists or sax players.One is honestly no better than the other. It's greatness expressed in different ways. This guy is a maestro.Last edited by Burpee; 03-12-2014 at 06:16 AM.Bubble gumTooth pixDuct tapeBlack glueGBMF hammerScrew gun --bad battery (see above)

If you need to learn technique, this is the man to watch!Pure beauty!!I agree with you Samm!  Being only 25, you'd be hard pressed to find someone with the talents and certification tickets that Travis (FieldRes) possesses.  He still has not taken 38 of his YouTube videos down yet, and anyone interested would do well to download them before he does.  Such well rounded welders like Travis are not ubiquitous.  He is a true master of his craft, and I have missed his presence and humor.MagicHat

Reply:I am going to try that this afternoon when I go to do some welding................Going to go with the swing.Just to funny.
Reply:Very impressive!
Reply:I loved Travis's videos.  I Checked his YouTube Channel every night for new videos as I still do hoping he will come back with a new one...Myself being 24 years old and learning how to Weld Pipe downhill watching his videos really helped, I think more on a Mental level cause he had fun with it and wasnt always serious.  But still a talented amazing Welder.I know he's a member on here "Thorton", if your reading this Travis....  For Heavens Sake make more videos, I miss the hell out of them! Every time I strike a Arc I crack up laughing cause I Go At it with a little twist!

Reply:His vids were awesome. Guy has got skills out the ***.Too bad he quit. Sounded like he was disapointed in the number of views/subs.  The hell with that! His vids were quality and most guys watching were after that. Maybe he didnt have thousands of views like some, but they were good. And the funny ones were funny as hell.  Welders are like dogs!
Reply:The man is amazing. Love the humor. He's a down to earth guy that really knows his shlt.
Reply:The video about getting out of the truck is great!

Reply:Yeah FieldRes is art!  I've been a subscriber with him from his beginning.  Sadly, his last video he said he was done with YouTube.  I hope like a good rock band, he does a "reunion tour" and comes back.  Many all miss his great videos!!!!!Lincoln Power Mig 216Lincoln AC/DC-225/125Miller  625 X-Treme PlasmaMiller 211 Forney 95FI-A 301HF 91110Victor Journeyman O/PMilwaukee DaytonMakita  Baileigh NRA Life Member
Reply:So, what's with FieldRes?  I haven't seen enough of his stuff to understand his problem with YouTube.  What's behind his "on" and "off" again video presence?  Someone please enlighten me.  I really like to watch his videos (when they are available).
