Teaching myself Tig welding
So i hVe wanted to learn to Tig weld for a decade. So i was finally in a position to invest in a machine. I have Mig welded for 15-20years now, still just OK since i dont do it enough. So i practiced Tig welding for weeks on steel since it was cheap. I learned alot and bugged alot of members. Messed up alot of tungsten and melted a few pair of gloves. Today i finally tried aluminum. Man it was FUN!!! To me it was a bucket list day. So freaking excited.
I bought myself a welding table from northern tool then i messed up the top so i got a 1/4 plate for the top if it which helped out a ton.
Here is the table before the plate
With the plate
First attempt welding Aluminum. It is 1/8 thick
Here is another pass. Stopping ans starting a few times trying to feed the rod correctly.
I still need a ton more practice but everyone has to start somewhere
