I've been welding for a couple years. Contrary to the subject, I'm not new to the game. I've been playing for a while. I just want to hear any "tips and tricks" that anyone out there has. I want to hear everything and/or anything that you've got from a beginner level to an "expert" level. I've got guys in class with me that could/want to use all the tips you've got. If you'd like some feedback, I'll be glad to let you know how things go.
Thanks for your time,
Tanner Ray

Hey TannerRay,
If you haven't already I'd say watch all of Jody's videos on TIG welding. They are very informative for a newbee to even the most experienced. You're always learning in welding.
Biggest thing I can say about TIG welding is learn to feed the wire smooth and fast. The inch worm tech is good to start with but really has its draw backs when you get into smaller wire. If you can find a video on the three finger method or whatever it's called it works the best for me. Get some wire and start practicing while you watch TV.
