Well the boss at work is finally teaching me tig, I had a small touch of it in a welding class about 6 or 7 years ago but nothing after that. I’m excited can’t wait to get good and beable to sanitary weld some of my brew gear. Think I might run something by my boss since we have a crap ton of tubing for scrap if he would mind if I made a project out of learning and put together my single tier brew stand once I feel alil more comfortable. I’ll keep updating this thread with progress pics of my welds, so with out further adieu pics of me chicken scratch for first time on a tig torch in a long time lol
Did you back purge with argon? Or did you use one of those fluxes that is designed to prevent sugaring?
No back purging at all just regular
Flow of all argon, just some scrap steel we had laying around the shop, regular filler rod and red wrapped electrode, Think i might buy a set for my own personal use of the purple or grey wrapped electrodes we will see. Going to keep working to get some beauty dimes going in my future
This is what I strive to be laying down one day
Weldporn? There truly is an Instagram feed for everybody.
You can’t tell me that nice colorful weld isn’t sexy lol
Yeah, evidently . 
More practice
I have a buddy on my local off-road forum that’s a fabricator. He does stuff like the Weldporn image above.
That’s some skills right there my mig work isn’t that pretty but
I’d say your mig work is pretty damn good!
I have mig welded structural and misc metals for the last 25 years. Never did get into tig- not in our industry but the welds photographed are nice and the author should be proud!
More practice
And the rig I’m using
Some more practice from last night will have up what my day included tonight
Looking pretty good!
It would be fun to do some of that type of thing again. Maybe someday.

Long day of welding 22 sleeves
Looking good!
Those look damn good
I tried TIG back in 80 and 81. I was not very good but could lay down a mean MIG bead.
Now once the shop slows down time to run by my brew stand project by the boss, shouldn’t be a problem seeing how we have tons of scrap 2x2 tubing around the shop
