I wasn't being mean! I was just surprised... as in... OMG! NO!

I think the polished food grade SS exhaust on the '32 cracks while I'm sleeping!

It's hard to tell from this pic.... So I'm going to ask just to make sure <devil is in the details!> I ASSume that you're grinding your tungsten the correct way?? This is a question for ANYONE that is TIG welding and grinding their tungsten. There is a right way and a wrong way. Rather than me try to explain it here --- it's far faster to watch this video.

Most people hand hold the tungsten and roll it between their fingers ---- but try chucking it up in a drill motor.... and run the drill motor while pressing gently against the wheel... rolls it nice!

Remember to turn your gas down. The first time I ran mine I blew right through it at 15 CFM.

Don't have half an hour on a traditional weld yet......

First attempt was tacking stainless 1/8" rod lengthwise to 1/16" sheet w/ gas at 13CFH......I was having trouble finding a torch angle that wouldn't over-cook the rod. When tacking the ends it worked great.

I do like the added visibility. Hopefully I'll get some time in the next couple days to practice on more traditional welds. Everyone knows I need a LOT of practice. :sieg:

Well I have been playing a bit and I think I am getting close.
Next I will try with back purging.

Weld looks great Greg!

Yes - back purge will take away that sugaring and make for a clean inside the tube.

Nicely done!

Thanks Greg,

I'm still playing, I have a set of headers to make and I want to leave the welds untouched, I like the fabricated look.

Nice....

And -- just because I see the Sharpie there... that reminds me! Don't try to mark something up with a Sharpie and TIG around it --- pencil either!

In other words -- if you've made a line on a part - clean it off before you weld.
