Ok, I have a confession. I'm a lurker in this thread!
So, here is some TIG love for my fellow welders. Cheers.
Mild steel sanded and then cleaned with a 3M pad. Red electrode, Argon at 12 to 15, Tip ground down to a point with clean 100 grit sanding wheel, and some welding rod I found laying around the shop. 1/4" plate with Amp setting at 100, Foot controlled heat between beads.
And by the way.... Scott you are getting pretty good. Take note everyone, practice, practice, practice.
