TIG welding videos or resources ?

admin

I'm new to TIG, and am a self-taught MIG welder.I had a lot of exposure to welding 0.120 wall steel a few years back and by the end of it I was putting down a pretty nice looking bead. Now I'm about to buy a Thermal Arc 185 and am looking for some "lessons" on how to TIG weld.Anyone have a video or internet link they can send me?
Reply:I'd say just go over to www.youtube.com and type in a few keywords in search. You'll find loads of short videos to browse.
Reply:I found 3 videos on the web for TIG welding.  One I rented from SmartFlix.com and the other two I purchased.  One was by Ron Covell I believe and the other I got from TIG Depot it was by Mr. Tig.To be honest with you, if you want to learn about the process, tungstens, etc. then there are pretty good for that, but each video really lacked weld time and in depth explanation for the beginner.I still forward to the actual welding parts to watch the technique once in a while, but you will still only learn the most from doing it yourself.Hope that helped!Oh yea..  Most of the stuff on YouTube is junk unless you like to watch guys pipe weld with TIG.. lol!  Not much to learn from them.Build a Barstool Racer at BarFlyRacers.com!
Reply:I actually just finished wading through all the junk to find the gems, I think I managed to sort them out pretty well and categorize them by process.  Check it out at http://www.weldershop.info/welding-videos/ and let me know if you think anything is missing.Jeff
