Well, got to watch some "Youtube" of "Mr. Tig". Went out and did some basics he suggests for newbees in Tig mode. Yes, lots of patience, Tig is slower and more precise than stick, mig.
Next is to learn more about tungsten types and "Lenses", then on to ALUMINUM.

Some vids by "mr tig" are quite bad.
Look at all the coments on mr tig's smoker build video on welding web.

I would stick to Jody's vids on
weldingtipsandtricks.

I cannot say I disagree with that statement. A newbie can glean some basic information about TIG welding from Mr. TIG though. He's a better source than a lot of them out there.:shocked: Personally I think Jody hits it on the dot most times and I don't have to FF as much. To each his own .

.... He's a better source than a lot of them out there.

That's for sure! So much bad info out there. I feel sorry for those that might not be able to tell the difference.

Thanks for the reference vid's etc. At his age, patience is the golden virtue to learning!
I remember in my teens watching a friend "Heli- Arc" Harley side cases that were cracked, he made lots of money doing it. Recently talked to him about it, he said today's machines, filler metal etc. have taken tig to the outer limits.
As with all metal work repair, a taste of metallurgy doesn't hurt'

Back to Arc !
