[QUOTE="Cowcatcher, post: 3531945, member: 43171"] I think I’ve gotten better. [ATTACH=full]195346[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]195348[/ATTACH] Another thing nice about tig, you can weld/tack things without any filler metal. This is nice when you just want to fuse parts together and don’t want to build the surface up.
