Oh, one thing about TIG, the UV from the arc is extremely powerful, and
will burn you the color of a cooked lobster THROUGH your clothes. So,
heavy welding jackets and other protective gear is an absolute must.

Make yourself a snood (yes, that is a word, it's even in OSHA literature) of
a piece of supple leather to cover up the exposed skin in the vee in your
shirt under your chin. That area can get lobster red. Of course, it
happened to a friend of mine. I'd never be that stupid
