    That’s nothing a good wash job can’t fix.

    I took welding every single trimester of high school... By senior year it was basically ""build what ever you want, and repair anthing in the school shop that needs it" class. The last class of the day my final trimester before graduation was welding... I went to work at a weld shop instead.

    Thats like an engine with a healthy layer of dust, oil, and grease... You never wash it off, it keeps the leaks to a minimum amd the rattles to a dull rumble.

    I forgot to answer the other part of your question...

    Yes tig welding is more advanced. Most welding requires only one hand to do. But tig requires both hands and one foot. One hand controls the torch, the other hand holds and feeds the filler wire into the puddle, and a foot controls the amperage to the torch via a foot pedal. As you can imagine, tig welding requires excellent quardination... And that is why it is probably my worst process, its very difficult for me to keep both hands moving properly while still creating a good weld where it is actually supposed to be.

    I dont fig weld the same as guys that do it all the time, ive developed my own rhythm and method. But because of this method I also struggle to "stack dimes" as they say... I shake to much and use 1 or 2 less anchor points than the traditional method of "walking the cup"... I generally free hand the torch instead of walking the cup.

    This guy has some amazing welding videos, ive learned alot about tig welding by watching hus stuff, but he does all welding processes.

     
    JoeyJunk, MACK E-6, Feedman and 6 others Thank this.

    We went to the B12 Tourney in KC a few years back and can confirm that TTU excels in their selection of gals for their dance squad....save for the one male that joined them. 20180308_184202.jpg
