I finished the small pedestal for the welder, worked out as I planned. I'll use it this way for a few weeks unfinished to see if any further modifications are needed. This worked out to be a nice compact and mobile workspace for welding, only an electrical connection needed. With the caster base, th...

I was able to finish the caster table last night, very happy with how it turned out, now giving it a test drive before I paint it. Very solid and easy to move around. Bottom sheet is 16 gauge, mid shelf sheet is 22 gauge and supported by a grid underneath. I plan on making a small stand to mount the...

I spent a few more hours practicing on some test plates and blocks. Now feel like I'm getting the hang of it. Almost vertical torch angle and getting better at weld pool control. Most of these welds were run at 150 amps with 15 CFH argon. Clean steel wiped with acetone works best. I have maybe 20 mi...

Thanks guys, greatly appreciated. I struggled a bit more with it last night, learned a few things, like what the weld looks like when you forget to turn on the argon and how easy it is to make the tungsten stick to the weld. I'll practice a bit more using your tips, I went back and watched a few mor...

My first attempts at TIG welding went very well, many thanks to Jodi's videos and other resources to help me learn how to set up the equipment and techniques. I am using a Yeswelder TIG-205DS with HF start, 3/32" 2% lanthanated tungsten, #6 cup, and 20 CFH argon. First picture is the first weld...

I've been a woodworker for many years, have a pretty extensive set of tools, and want to learn new skills. I can pretty much fix anything, always do my own wrenching on our cars. Even buil...
