Let's see your micro welds. Anybody can weld thick stuff. 8-) I actually used filler on this....i plucked a couple of wires out of a cup brush and fused them together and this is what happened. Look at that heat build up on the end. At 10 amps it's hard to back off the pedal.

I did a little build-up on this corner that had worn off from use. How is my ripple spacing??

Last time I blew a hole the size of a dime on razor blades and had arc strikes and blown holes on aluminum cans because the tig welder I use doesn't like low amps with 3/32" tungsten i guess. And maybe a little operator error and lack of experience too.
A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

Wouldn't surprise me if one day I did, just for the hell of it. I mean, I have nothing else to spend my money on besides audio gear, so why not? :mrgreen:

I used to know a guy who said he could weld anything from a filament in a light build to the crack of dawn.

Anybody got any aluminum foil welds. I've always wanted to see those.

What do you want from me. I'd blow a hole in that so fast you couldn't catch it on a slo mo camera. And then if I did I wouldn't have any filler small enough. You step up and show me to do it then :lol:

Was that a little warm when you picked it up? (The classic answer is, "No. It just doesn't take me long to examine a weld...)

Crazy old drunk I worked with some years ago always said there were three things he couldn't weld.

The crack of dawn, a broken heart, and the wheels on a miscarriage...

Know what I'm doing Tuesday when I get back to school. Gosh... I haven't welded for over a week now. It's been a rough week to. A lot of wood split and moved to kill my back wishing the whole time I was sitting behind a torch or gun. It's a good thing that all I can think about is arc shots. Today it was downhill 6010 roots all day long in my head. Withdrawal will do crazy stuff to you
