Tig Welding Kicks Butt

admin

Started Tig welding in school.  I must say im impressed !  Its a really easy process to weld with.  Now im not as good as some of the pros here.  But for someone who has just started I dont think im too bad.The foot pedal gives ultimate control over heat imput to the puddle.   I think Tig and Stick are my 2 favorite methods of welding.   Anyone have any tips for getting that stack of dimes look ?   I want to see if I am capable of getting that look !

Reply:Hi,  I'm With David, Much rather see a nice smooth even weld with just the markings from the weld pool. Cheers  Gordon.
Reply:It's nothing but practice.  It's all about getting in that rhythm and and doing exactly the same thing every time.  Stop, dip, move... stop, dip move...
