Been playing with the new TIG a lot... Started to build a cart for the welder and my plasma so I can move stuff around easier...plus it's a big practice piece to get some seat time under my belt

My best analogy for how it's going so far.... It's just like playing golf.... One second I lay a nice/decent bead.... Get alittle confidence... And then the next one looks like a pile of bird crap and I want to check the torch into the lake some of the welds on the cart look pretty damn good for a beginner... And others look like hell..,

Feeling decent on the butt weld..., still struggling with fillet welds.. Keep blowing through the upper section or getting a decent puddle flowing..,

Sometimes I feel like I'm getting more time grinding tungsten vs actually welding..
