Is there going to be a video on how to "T" the Argon and Helium together? And show the difference it makes? I watched the video where it was mentioned that there may be a video on this. Did I miss something? Ready to watch and learn. Here you go :) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvk8rH05AD...

Ready to watch and learn.

Got the original tig finger and the XL showed up today. Can't wait to give it a try.

Looks really good.

Thanks.
I don't know if I'd call it a calling, its fun at times, I like my 9-5 job. Think thats what lets the art thing be fun. Like my '66 stretch cab pu project better at the moment.

Greg, there's a facebook group called "The Workshop". It's about crafts and craftsmanship, with metal arts being a major focus, and a fair reperesentation of woodcraft. It's pretty new, and still defining itself. Are you familiar with it? If not, and you're interested, I'll pull the link ...

would you be willing to share the name of the book with us? Here is a pic of the book. I have found this book to be a useful tool in the art work I like to do. However it is not an only source of information, trying with many failed attempts (school of hard knocks) has been the strongest learning t...

Two more. Couldn't resist.

Big thanks Superiorwelding for the info on loading pics.
Along with killin' it at work with never ending tig work I like to play a bit in the home shop and dabble a little on this stuff.
You never know unless you try.

Totally dig your motor mounts.

very very nice how did you shade the mountains? I used a propane torch to gently heat the metal to get a nice golden brown. The branches on the trees are painted. I've recently purchased a big thick book on a gazillion ways to treat steel to get the desired color you want with chemicals. Here's ano...

A few years ago I was going through hard times financially. I was listing anything and everything through eHay to get some extra loot and noticed metal art. Thats all it took. Since then the 'real' job has become more stable so the art work is a fun when the feeling comes kinda thing. Pics of a piec...

Thanks for the comments guys. True the world isn't fair and I do feel blessed with the job I have. The 'real' job I have (tig welding) requires to maintain a high level of quality. Parts get penetrant tested and xrayed and other assorted tests. On buying the best machine for home hobby and side jobs...

If I'm not mistaken the 280DX being a newer design is capable of lower and higher settings than the venerable 200DX. Thanks for the info Bill B. This is whats sooo great about this place. I've been to the local welding shop several times inquiring about various machines and not a peep mentioned abo...

Hello Fellas, I've been a hobbyist for 20+ yrs and preform tig work on titanium castings for a living. Thick,big,heavy pour it on type of stuff. Sheet metal work is what I want to get a handle on. Thin, build up some welding skills so sheet metal doesn't warp uncontrollably. Have studies, purchased ...
