Not bad at all considering the time you've had it. What sort of machine did you get?

I think my experience with oxy welding is definitely good prep for tig, especially working with the puddle, tig is certainly faster though :)

Good intro tig welding video. This guy specialises in building turbo kits, does some awesome work and a gun at tuning too.

Bloody awesome gear these guys do. I have their mig and love the thing. I need to invest in a tig as some stage and have been saving for this very welder. done well Holden202T.

The TFS (the fabrication series) is a great series of videos to watch. Jason is very skilled and teaches in a very clear and simple way. is just so refreshing watch, sit down and binge his channel....

hehe

cheers

I can vouch for oxy welding and tig being similar.
I'm the director of VSH (Vlad's Spec Holden), because HSV were doing it ass about.
