In real repairs you'd use mig on 1/8 angle....

No, No.
I was just voicing my opinion a little to much.

Tig is great for clean, pristine, and perfect condition metal.....

IMO,
Mig is much more valuable a process for general steel....

Yep Dave,
You can call it....

Hey,
Glad you like tig.
Good skill to have, if you get good at it.
It has its many places. Welding on farm machinery in the wind isn't one of them. :lol:

Tig is to delicate for me....

Where did you have the flux capacitors set at? Don't over heat them or it will time warp you.
