G'day everyone,

After a bit of encouragement from a few people after my last project, I decided to get myself a TIG welder. And by TIG welder I mean a TIG torch for my stick welder. My welder can be converted to DC TIG using the 35/50 DIN connectors and some ARGON. I wont be able to pulse weld or weld aluminium, but it will get me on track to relearning TIG. i haven't done it in about 7 or 8 years, and what I did do was a shop class in high school, so its not like I have a huge amount of experience there.

In this video I will also be making a TIG torch holder and TIG wire stand to hold the torch and suspend the wires to make it easier to handle. i have only owned the TIG for about 4 days as of writing this so you'll have to forgive me for my quality of welds.
