TIG projects
Anybody have stories of projects they had to do when learning TIG welding,
or other exercises to try when learning it? I had no problems with 14 and maybe even some 16 guage carbon steel, but struggled with anything thicker (1/8" and up) and keeping up the fill rod rate or not changing angles of the torch as I moved along a weld. Obviously I need to practice that with a spotter again. I really had no idea what was going on for some reason. |

Watch Jody's videos. I learned a couple of things just yesterday doing that. http://www.weldingtipsandtricks.com/ |
