Do you need something welded or are you asking about the process?

The process

The process

There are so many YouTube videos to watch. After a hr watching them you will know what to do and not do.

Did a lot of tig welding years ago with a really nice Miller unit. I miss it.

Looks like it take a lot of patience

Never had a single class. Never joined 2 pieces of metal together without some sort of purposely chosen fastener.

Know what not to do is:

“Don’t start welding your own stuff”.

I can guarantee beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’d be the guy fixing things until they’re broken.

I do envy those with the proper patience and focus.

I have both a stick and wire welder and do enjoy using them. It can be welding up a trailer frame or putting a new cutting edge on a buckets I find joy in doing it.

I purchased a Oxy-acetylene setup about 5 yrs ago. Best investment I think I ever made.

So many uses especially if you have any equipment that your working on.

Can't be stuck if its liquid!

Had Oxy-Ace since going to work at 18Yrs. old, Have a couple of Plasma cutters that work really good

Patience....Practice and make sure to have a good helmet.

not tig welding, but working on a little project myself. using a millermatic 212 with the aluminum spool gun, not the best welder, but learning as i go. one thing i have figured out is you dont rush if you want to get better. each weld i try to make better then the last one.

currently building window well covers for the place. had them quoted by a local shop and they wanted almost $5000 for 4 of them. I will be in considerable less then that by doing them myself.
