Paul its cheaper to learn on their gas as well as having terry on hand to correct the mistakes as you go. The correction of poor technique has really
brought my welding standard to something Im quite proud of for neatness and repeatability.
Its the tig that we stashed in the store that we want to break out and start using again.
Ive been handing out the ali welding to various people we know and sometimes we get stuck cause we need it done quickly. Got the machine just have to
skill up to use it.

Hi Mango'
On the subject of the book, just looked it up on Amazon.
The Science and Practice of Welding. A C Davis. 4 used from £1.47
Mine was £4/19/11
As for the TIG, it's not earning money stuck under a tarp at the back of the workshop is it.
I have a mate, runs a "one man band" car workshop who allocates an hour a day to work on his old cars.
Works on customers stuff till 5.30pm, stops till 6.30 to do his own. It works for him.
My advice is take a couple of hours a week, an evening or a Sunday morning and just practice with the TIG.
If you can get help and advice from your course instructor then so much the better.
You know it will pay dividends in the end.
All the best,
Paul G

practise makes a huge difference. its amazing how you go from being clumsy and non-flowing with the tig to it feeling like an arm extension. I never
thought it would get like that, but now it has.
earning money....what's that lol
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
