Lmao this is a good subject for impulserocket to write up or chime in on.Tig is tungensten inert gas welding. Lmao I can do it all, but I'm not the 1 to try & explain it all.
He has good penmanship.
And he can read too...lol...lol...Not that I would ever pick on ya...lol.Lmao this is a good subject for impulserocket to write up or chime in on.
Lmao I see how you is!!! I enjoy reading his articles. I think he could single handedly take down Russia with his writing abilities.
The Ukranians are doing quite well in that department already...lol...Maybe he could go after China, North Korea, Iran, etc.?...lol...lol.
Excellent advice DT.
TIG is also called GTAW, Gas Tungsten Arc Welding. In either instance, the tungsten is a non-consumable used to create a plasma arc shielded with an inert gas to puddle a weld, and filler material is hand fed as needed. Tungsten is used because it has an insanely high melting point of over 6,100 degrees F.Lmao this is a good subject for impulserocket to write up or chime in on.
No I hear you. That's why I said rabbit hole. I got over $8000 just in my welder. There is nothing wrong starting with a smaller machine. I do recommend getting a welder with gas capabilities & definitely a auto-darkening helmut. Lmao I had a old man that started me in welding, lol his famous quote was: If it breaks the ground will catch you!!!Excellent advice DT.
When I decided I needed a welder I had to consider my age and current health state. I could be out of the hobby or welding in a minute and not see it coming.
If I needed something like my boat trailer welded I’d go to someone who is a welder.
For my jog pipe…I’m good enough for now.
I guess it all depends on how far you want to go with it.
After the piece below and 75% of a 1 pound spool I graduated to my pipe. It’s been on for 996 miles and still going.
With that said… I doubt I’d trust using a bike frame I welded up.
My small grinder cleans it up pretty quick for an amateur. I use thin sheet metal around my welds and just leave the part being welded open. The sheet metal catches all the splatter… or the lions share of it.
