So i got the first welder couple of months ago, because for some reason I wanted to learn some welding. So I have been doing so for a while but even though I really lihe the process of TIG welding, Im having issues with finding thing to practice on. Just welding scrap pieces together isnt exactly interesting, and steel + gas costs something so id prefer making something with atleast some value to myself.
Has any of You beginners have similar issues?

So i have been welding some stupid things together. Like a something to stick tungsten in. One pipe for sharp ones and one for those waiting to be sharpened sharpened.


Also made some shop stools.

I'd probably lay another pass on top of the root pass you did on the tungsten holder. No sense having it fall off the table and break a weld.

I like the stools.

I like your approach of practice for a purpose. I do the same thing. There are plenty of projects around the shop that can develop abilities. Sometimes I want to get things done and turn to MIG instead of practicing TIG. Or I use an opportunity to learn some stick, which I haven’t done much of.
