I have good results with the diamond ground tri-mix cream color. Pricey but works well on Aluminum for me. I'm using a miller dynasty

Re: Advice on dime stacking

Practice practice and more practice, great video Jody has about just running beads. Get a piece of 1/8" aluminum and just run beads on it. Play around spacing when you add filler and just practice. Aluminum you can just run beads on beads. The pic is 1/8" thick using 3/32 filler

Re: 1/4" aluminum weld

The pieces were small. 5"X1" 1/4" thick. Took a few hits with the hamer I know the heat build up is a lot on the small pieces it was just some scrap I had laying around. If I put more heat into it would become a melted mess. Had the machine at 150 herz then tried it around 230. With 6...

Re: tungsten sharpener

Update got the new sharpener last week. Very nice machine can adjust the angle from 10-60 degrees. And puts a real nice point and finish on the tungsten. The only thing I would like it to be able to sharpen 1/8" tungsten. But I bought it knowing that.

Re: tungsten sharpener

all three seem to have all the same features. I like the adjustable grind angle feature what are the main differences between the three? is one better quality then the other? all seem kinda close in price with the sharpie first then the tech south then the htp
