But there is room for improvement...Practice and patience will be good to you..Keep it up! ...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:wildcat,i think that is very good tig work,you have used the edges on both sides perfectly,and your weave looks very neat and uniform if you got that result with dirty metal,it can get even better cleaned. pipefitter
