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.
