Yesterday my bud, who is a good mentor and friend was repairing an Al offroad bike frame for a guy. He set up his large in shop Miller TIG welder, watercooled. The item was powder coated so he took a lot of time to remove that and then with me watching up close he welded a broken cross brace back in... he has welded on this frame at other places before. He showed me a few tricks and handed it to me, and on a piece of scrap of course. I did ok, and it reminds me some of heavy soldering or brazing. I blew it out twice in about 2 inches of practice. Using the foot pedal and manuvering the tip and watching the rod...big fun Ya don't touch the tip with the rod that messes things up big time. Well like all good things it would take a lot of practice to get steady and good at this. For a good ex: Go see HappyBob and his boat accessories, TIG, hmmm that R sumthin.Last edited by PapaLion; 04-18-2010 at 09:35 AM.Lincoln Power MIG 215Lincoln WeldPak 3200HDLincon ProCut 25Lincoln WeldanPower 225 AC/DCIf all else fails... buy more tools

Reply:All you need to do is get comfy and dont panic...Stay away from the coffee..Tig is done with your arms in a as most comfortable zone as you can get...Use anything to get that way..It's like drawing on a sheet of paper...Comfortable hands....right?Don't be afraid to use a say block of wood to rest your hand on to get the torch in a comfort zone that you can work with...Be at ease.Go with the flow...No need to panic..Now just do it....zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.
Reply:zap.....itis amazing what happens when you get confy and relax. in the beginning, I was always a bit anxious when I would tig......and as funny as it was, I would forget to breathe. lol. without realizing it, I'd strike an arc and was so focussed on the arc that I never realized that I was holding my breathe.
Reply:Thanks guys, I'm going to keep practicing because it is a very keen thing. Don, my bud, looks 1/2 asleep and sitting but I was kinda' wired I'm going to hang around anytime he uses the Miller and see if I can get a few minutes on it. ?

Reply:P-bear,I'm a newbie at TIG but it's getting better.Zap is spot on re comfortable position...if I'm holding the torch by the handle and my hand/arm is unsupported, the weld looks ragged and the probability of dipping the tung is way high. If I'm holding the torch sort of like a pencil (up close to the cup) and I'm resting my arm on something, the weld looks a lot better. I make a few practice runs with the torch (just move the torch...no heat) to make sure the path is clear with no hang-ups.I've also found that if I loop the cable over my shoulder it takes the weigh off the torch and I can move more smoothly.Also....work piece at the right height...chair/stool at the right height...get comfortable. And like you, I was holding my breath but now I'm starting to relax.I don't know if this is correct but I get the tung right up close to the weld...1/16" to 1/8"...so a steady hand is a must. I'm 58 and a avid coffee drinker so I need a the help I can get.I still have a problem with my torch hand glove getting hot. I'm using Tilman deerskin gloves so I can feel the filler rod but they don't have much heat insulation. I tried some heavy "welding" gloves but couldn't feel anything...torch, filler, nothing. Plus, those gloves got so hot one of the fingers caught fire (remember the cigar scene from the Mel Brooks Frankenstein movie).

Reply:if you weld the filler to the tung you will have to stop and fix it, then it can cool down...works for me..i can tig weld with no glove on the torch hand...

Reply:get comfortable and steady. another big thing is setting your stick out right. If you use a shorter stick out you can usually rest the cup on the work piece. That's the difference between constantly dipping your tungsten and being able to keep a narrow gap.

Show the welds, don't cover anything up, leave it a skeleton... hmmm what Al? if U want it shiny 5051 maybe but it'd be bar stock I guess... 1 /8" x1 3/4polish it before , or after? anodize it.

Oh no, not enough fusion in the root you say? and Blink it snapped apart like a booger weld. Damn my feelings were hurt. But I kept it up and no more Blinkies.

Reply:It was about 107+ this afternoon, but I was in the shade and having fun with 6010 and a little 7018. The Miller fume extractor is brand new to the College, and I get to try it out first; that thing is GREAT!!! No fumes, none. very kool. I am in the breezeway, don't care much for the welder itself but who cares for a coupla weeks... and the course is a lot of fun. Wednesday we get to do a lot more, today was ... ~see if you can stick the 6010 electrode to the nice steel. or set the tip on fire like a match. I was able to do that very well... then it was see if you can drag it along the steel... that went poorly, this is actually my 2nd piece of practice scrap making buttons and such. the Prof is still laughing at the first one... so it'll take a lot of detail and practice. For me, my big problem is to get up to SPEED, I like to dawdle with MIG but 6010 is really not into that I find TRAVEL SPEED > Mach II There are about 16 booths, so I could be set out here in the breezeway most likely anyways, we have 18+ students.

Reply:Class is kicking my butt IF I say IF, I were paying for the materials I'd be broke by now... but slowly and surely the 6010 and I are making friends... not good friends just friends. I have seen about a bucks worth of dimes stacked by me so far I'm doing fine in the written tests, Safety 100% and about 85-90s on the rest. BUT, that does not transfer to the shop yet at all. We have a sub for a week (the retired dept head, Our teacher is gone to a welding contest in Kansas City with some students),This fella is also a good teacher and friend of mine for 20 years... and is good at explaining and showing me my errors... so it goes along. I am behind on the topic projects but so what... I'm here to learn 6010 and 7018 and correct positions and technique. Very slowly there may be light. It is very much like learnig to play guitar... when I play (and I'm just pretty good. no whiz kid).. some guy will say for ex: "how do you do that all at once?".. I like 2 and 3 finger bluegrass acoustic picking, Doc Watson style stuff.. and I have to recall that I spent more than a year regularly trying to SLOWLY get that down... just to be able to do it at all, much less do it well. So this is similar, practice will be needed and practice with a point. I am doing the exercises over and over till I want to puke, but absolutely needed in my case, I'm obviously not a natural Maybe a few pics Sunday if i can.Gone to San Diego for a few days of rest... enjoyLast edited by PapaLion; 06-16-2010 at 07:23 PM.Lincoln Power MIG 215Lincoln WeldPak 3200HDLincon ProCut 25Lincoln WeldanPower 225 AC/DCIf all else fails... buy more tools

Reply:Got up before dawn, went to the ranchita/shop, fed and/or watered everybody (7 goats and 25 baby chicks and 4 hens and a rooster, 100+ Birminbgham Rollers, and 90 young pomegranate trees)... and then pulled out the WeldanPower 225, checked the oil and gas and got out my 6010. Suited up ( I'm safer now anyways), then, I took some scrap and started in. First, it is 6010 1/8" Radnor which has been dissed a bit here, but for me in this case it seems easier to start than whatever we're using at school. Next, is it my wishful thinking??? seems much better overall. I think the W/P is working well and for me, much better than the Inverter based machine at school. I'm still lousy... but the effort seems more relaxed overall. Tomorrow morning I'll hopefully go again, it gets to over 100 by ten AM and sunny... so that limits the fun a bit. practice makes perfect... well I"m just hoping it gets me thru for nowLincoln Power MIG 215Lincoln WeldPak 3200HDLincon ProCut 25Lincoln WeldanPower 225 AC/DCIf all else fails... buy more tools

This takes me a good 45 minutes each so I've got 4 ready that saves me a coupla hours in class. I guess these are "coupons" of a sort, not for a test just to use for the projects in class.
