welding looks good IFAICT - I have a 10min presentation on how to take a close-up picture if you're interested?

Now, It's 11.55 an I'm just back from the pub.

Have I got to go to Specsavers tomorrow,

or is it the beer.

Hi, looks a lot better than my first attempt, is it an inverter type youve got or the propper TIG set? Ive just got an inverter but found it drank one of those hobby bottles of argon in about 15 mins, is yours anything like that??

paul

not beer not eyes bad camera for close up shots

andrew

is a semi pro tig set with hf start running with a big bottle of argon.

What size rod are you using? Does someone help you to lift them? Try this.

rod is 1.6

pete not sure on you other comment

I love TIG welding- have only done it with steel but I intend to learn Stainless/ali pretty soon.

Timf, where did you get your kit from? And how much?

Cheers,

James

Sorry about that, on my screen the weld in your picture is 5" across. I used TIG many years ago on 16g boiler frames but I doubt if I would have the coordination for it now. I used oxy-acetylene for a long time, still have a portapak in the shed but the mig rendered it redundant.
