How is everybody?
My name is Collin, I live in central Mississippi. I've had a Miller welder sitting in my dad's garage for a long time, never thought twice about it. About three years ago my uncles were building a trailer hitch mount/bumper and asked me if I wanted to have a go at the stick welder. Loved it! Started using the Miller mig sitting in the garage, loved it even more. It came in handy on this motorcycle project I have been working on. Don't know all the ends and outs of it yet. Recently got my hands on a Miller Diversion 180. Been doing a lot of practice runs on scrap aluminum, nice beads but know consistency. Can't figure out how to do edges without them melting. I have a few projects coming up where the tig is needed. Carbon steel exhaust pipe for the bike and a battery box. I'm sure this the place to hone on my skills. Good Day.

Welcome to the forum Collin.
Get some pics of your welds up, and we will try to give you some pointers.

Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

Collin,
Welcome to the forum! Get those pics up in the TIG section for us to see. I would focus on the flat welds and once you are comfortable with them, then try the edge welds. They just take a little more finesse that's all.
