Mastering 3G Vertical Welding Position: Tips, Tricks & Techniques #shots

Note: Today's batch is unusually weak — nearly every candidate is hashtag-spam shorts or generic "tips and tricks" filler with no real teaching content. This pick is the least bad of the bunch.

The 3G vertical position is one of the harder fundamental welding positions to master because gravity is constantly trying to pull your molten puddle downward out of the joint. Whether you're welding uphill (the more common technique for structural work) or downhill (faster but with less penetration), rod angle, travel speed, and arc length all become much more critical than in the flat 1G position.

This video promises a walkthrough of 3G stick welding technique, including rod selection and angle. For a beginner looking to progress past flat-position practice plates, understanding vertical-up technique is a key milestone — it's also a standard certification test position, so the skill has practical value for anyone pursuing AWS or similar qualifications.

The instruction is in Hindi, which limits the audience, but the visual demonstration of bead progression and electrode manipulation should still be useful for non-Hindi speakers willing to watch with the sound off.

Why watch: A demonstration of 3G vertical stick welding — a fundamental position every welder needs to learn — though today's overall batch quality is poor.
