Tim MitchellBeautiful work, those welds are sick. Your craftsmanship is top shelf. It's going to work as good as it looks..

Little ChiefAs I have gotten older I can really appreciate tig porn. In my metal trade I learned in the old days with a stick rod and then a mig was like magic but I have never gotten the hang of tig. Going to give it another try this winter. Beautiful work

I remember many years ago watching the bike builder shows on TV and seeing those guys tig welding ans thought I'd like to try it myself. I wound up buying a Lincoln Squarewave 175 Pro tig welder and just sat down and practiced. Read what stuff I could find to learn. Once I started to work for the chassis shop I would take scraps and notch them and take them home to practice. I'd come back in the next day and show them to the boss and he'd make suggestions to try and I'd repeat the cycle. After a couple months he must have felt I was good enough to tig weld on customers cars and off I go.
I'll admit I struggle on A/C aluminum welding. I don't do it very often and have to learn all over again each time. Hard to get good at it if you don't do it all the time like I do with chromoly DC welding every day.
