I'm a total rookie at welding, don't hesitate to criticize, that's how I learn and my skin is relatively thick. :sieg:

#1 -- SS is EASY to weld....

#2 -- OUTSIDE corners are easy to weld...

#3 -- Try doing that and not warping it... look at that big flat expanse and you won't see much warpage.... NOW THAT'S TALENT!!! :welder: :trophy-1302:

Half of it I learned from reading your replies to my grumbling.... Just sayin' !!

Lateral-G has been awsome for feedback on working through my learning curve on TIG. I'm glad to see so much positive feedback and experience being shared by the more experienced members on this site for guys wanting to expand their skills. Even though I'm a "professional," I've been expanding into areas that I've never personally done. I've always been at shops with guys that handled specialties like TIG when i needed it. Now that I'm solo I either learn it myself or am stuck subleting it which can be :bang:

Anyway... my ramble is to say thanks to everyone. I'll post up pics of some current TIG work from today... still not perfect but waaaayyy better.

Revved,

So when you first thought about TIG did this thought cross your mind?
"I mean really, how difficult can it be"

:D
