Looks good Scott!

When you get the hang of it - and you're on your way - you'll just LOVE TIG.

Whenever there's something to weld - I'll grab the TIG over the MIG any day.

Also for easy puddle work -- get yourself some silicon bronze rod.

Sieg-Looks Great! Nice work.

Greg,
Is the silicon bronze rod some of the custom shops use (DSE, Holohans, Troy's, etc.) for sheet metal joints just standard old silicon bronze rod such as you would use with a O/A gas welding set-up or is it a particular alloy to use with TIG?

Thanks-Wes

Wes -- forgot to add --- YES --- Gas welding SB rod uses a flux or flux coating - TIG does not.
