Tig welding tips, questions, equipment, applications, instructions, techniques, tig welding machines, troubleshooting tig welding process
Awhile back Jody posted the video on the concept of a small tig box using BB's to act as ground and argon dispersion. Was there ever any follow up on the concept. Also would stainless steel shot work instead of BB's?
Not really, because the idea is that copper coated bbs wouldn't stick to your weld. I thought that copper shavings from a lathe would work pretty well.

quadrod,
Jody, Roy and myself worked on this project and Jody did two videos on it. Not sure if you have seen both of them.
Part 1

Part 2

I will tell you, it works very well for what it is intended for. If you have any questions on the boxes I will try to answer what I can. Roy and I both have a second box we made but they have never been shared. This box concept is actually used, minus the bb's, in the aerospace world and it is pretty cool.

Just gather all your pennies to fill the box.quadrod wrote:Can get 5lb of copper shot on the bay for $40.00
Thanks for the reply's. I don't have a specific project yet for the tig box. Heck the box is a project in and of its self. I got one of the ti practice kits to play with and will use the tig box for that first. I can't fill the box with pennies, I need all my pennies to get the materials for the box. I could use a suggestion on how big and how deep to make the box. I have seen the videos of Jody making the box, thanks for the links I will watch them again.

I would like to see your version of the box when you make it. Always looking for new ideas.
