My first ever TIG welds. Field mower repair

I needed to repair the wear strips on my dads old ford field mower. After using a torch and banging my head against a wall thinking how much faster, easier, and CLEANER a everlast plasma cutter would have been to get the job done. I decided to at least have a little fun. My bro has his linde tig welder setup at my dads shop and even though i can hold my own with my migmaster or stick weld i wanted to give this TIG thing a go. Hooda happened to be there so I had him set the thing up and talk me through the process. heres pics. I was taught how to torch weld as a youngster (it's almost a family requirement) so with a little brotherly love talking me through (breathing down my neck:P), I was able to fumble my way thru. I see iit as a lot "busier" than other types of welding, and a heck of a lot cleaner. I'm excited at the possibilities this has for me. What do ya think?

That looks a lot better than my first time trying to TIG weld. I ended up with more holes than a block of swiss cheese.:D:D:D

Thanks, dude, keep in mind that I had another guy looking over my shoulder talking me through it the whole time, I dout that I could have done that well on the 1st go without him.

That is not bad at all for the first time tig welding. It took me forever to be able to run a bead!

That looks really good. I was able to run a nice bead except I think I moved too slow because my bead was not really flat.
