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??

What size rod are you using? Does someone help you to lift them? Try this.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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.
