This is maybe the 5th or 6th time I have ever TIG welded so take it easy im learning.... I got to the point were I had so much stainless and aluminum to weld and didn't really have anyone around me that could do it for me. They either didn't have the time or just couldn't do it so I ended up getting a little Miller ac/dc machine and a nice torch to teach myself.

I was originally going to just paint everything myself but my local powder coater gave me a good price on everything and being powder is more durable then paint I just went ahead and had them coat the parts for me. Did wet black and wrinkle black.

This is my first attempt of big welding aluminum... I had nobody who could do it for me locally in a timely manner so I just said screw it and bought myself. I watch more youtube videos and practiced running a bunch of beads on a scrap piece. All this was done in ONE day. Anyways started working on my cold side...
