Did you just mention Mr. Tig You're outta here buddy

Yeah I know-not ideal but if he shows an arc and a puddle and a weld that might hold up for light repairs it is worth something. Just glad bob took over now. A lot better

Did Mr.TIG do his "stir the pot" dance at the beginning of the video? That's usually the best part.

Yeah he looks like the best day of his life is the day he was born

I kinda feel sorry for him taking on a reputation...Jody can weld circles around him.

Yeah, but he is trying to help the noobs so he deserves some credit for that. Think of him as the Mr. Rogers of tig welding instructors.

I hear ya.. He's probably cool but look at Jody and look at old Wyatt there and you can see who has been a hard worker and who....likes to eat too much.. Moral of the story...I would never hire a fat carpenter

I thought the fat thing was for cooks. I guess you don't want a hole in your roof and broken rafters

I've done some DC+ tig welding on 1/16" aluminum with 100% argon.

My good friend only has a DC machine and wanted to know if it was possible so I lit it up to show him how.

To my knowledge he has not actually used it for that since then, he just wanted to know if he could.
