The results.......
Butt weld, no filler rod, 1/16" mild steel, 1/16 tungsten, max amps set at 80, gas at 13 CFH.

#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!!!

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
