Gunsmithing Student New to the Forums

Hi,

I am a gunsmithing student at Lassen Community College and have been learning to Tig weld as part of the program. I have only been Tig welding for about six months now and I am slowly getting the hang of it. Our instructor has been showing us Jody's videos and they have proved to be very helpful. Just wanted to say 'Hello' and introduce myself.

Matt,
Welcome to the forum! Gunsmithing is a interesting thing to me. At first, I could never figure out why gunsmiths needed to weld. Share some of your work and experiences with us when you can!

Greetings. Welcome to the forum. Some of the most beautiful welds I've ever seen were done by a gunsmith.

A man with a gun can readily convince you that his welds are beautiful... :lol:

Welcome, Matt!
