Taught my cousin how to lay down some sweet welds. In just a couple of hours he went from only being able to burn through to running some beautiful welds. Now it’s just a matter of time and consistent practice before he becomes a real pro! I hope I can share the same knowledge and skills with all of you!

Still can’t wrap my head around tacking. If I tack on the very sides I am fine. But if I tack about a millimeter from the side it just burns through. Settings are 120 amps 120hz 3 seconds post flow. 1/16 blue tungsten 1/8 aluminum. And I realize I went too cold in the second pic

I am having an impossible time tack welding. It just burns through. Here are my settings

I made a lil something for my dad to celebrate his 80th birthday. He was a machinist by trade. Completely made out of stainless except for the cap which is copper. I TIG'd the entire thing, including the copper cap. A big thanks to @Grant Pratt for the info he shared with me regarding TIG welding copper. Anyway, let me know what y'all think 🤔 😄
