So I decided to have someone show me how to TIG weld. We have a few of them at the shop where I work and got some advice on how to use it. I did a few practice welds when the guy was here, and this weekend I welded some drop down sides on a Stainless shelf I want to put in my kegerator.
What a dream! Only the air compressor was off so I could not finish the shelf, nor use the plasma cutter to trim the next pieces. The weld was smooth and round and I only needed fill on the corners.
Only real problem was that even though I only welded a few inches, the light was bright enough to give me sunburn on my arm between my short sleeves and my gloves. I never the burned like that using my MIG welder at home.
