The machine has alot to do with your success as well. I have only ever used junk tig welders at home.
I’m going to give it a try when I weld the right side chassis support in.I am far from master, but I'd be leary about trying it upside down. Main reason being is that welding gas is heavier than air and will fall away from the weld if upside down. I cant confirm that is true, but that's my theory.
That was me when I tried to hang a ceiling fan once, I concluded I was NOT an electrician!

Honestly just looking at your welds-I would have though you had previous experience running a tig welder. They look pretty good daveBTW, @RaggedGT , what do you think of my first attempts at TIG?
It’s fun Scott.Welds look good Dave. Ive been pondering buying a tig welder just so I can make an aluminum overflow tank for Dusty.
Seems like it would be easy to contaminate the tungsten that way.having foot pedal control is awesome, I have been doing all of my projects with a stick welder converted to a tig... scratch start with a tig is fun..
It’s actually pretty fun Scott.I've got to get tig welding down. There's a job opening at a huge local speed shop. One of the most sought after skills is tig welding steel and aluminum.
It’s actually pretty fun Scott.
It does take patience.
The welding videos on YouTube have been invaluable to me. I’ve watched the beginners ones several times.
I’d love to be good enough to weld roll cages and the sort.
Yeah Joe, I’m already subscribed there. Wonderful source of help.The fabrication series channel is pretty good from what I have watched.
