One thing I've noticed at shops that don't specialize in tig is the length
they stick the tungsten out. Get used to having the tungsten as short (in
the torch) as you can stand. Several friends that couldn't run a decent bead
were all welding with way too much tung. length.

Use of a "gas lens" helps when you need a longer tungsten.
