Thinnest thing you've ever TIGed...Showing off...

I think its safe to say youre an amateur welder with more to learn. Looks like you got the basics down pat.

Now add a real welder and some time. He'll be fine. This should be in the chat lounge.

You must admire in some respects, he was playing around. Learned something. People here got into it. No way I would use that on a job. The time he put into it, if he put that in a welding project, that focus will get him far and probably make him some money.

Thanks guys. I would agree that I have lots and lots and lots more to learn, in all flavors of welding, but especially TIG. I'm sure once I get my hands on a real machine I'll be able to further improve on my skill and technique. And no, I don't use my weldernator on any "jobs." I did use it to weld up the dashboard for my off-road buggy I'm building, but other than that it's just not suited for any real work, it's just nice to practice and play with. I think with some good equipment(and much more practice) I could make a little bit of cash on the side doing some welding for people. I made $200 over the summer fabricating & welding up some "wheel guards" for the corners of a mower deck on a mid-sized kubota tractor. The guy kept catching the wheels on stuff and ripping them off the deck. I ground out all the original welds, welded them back up, then built a guard around each to deflect things away from the small casters. He mowed all summer with it, said he even smashed them into things multiple times, and they're still holding up good. Was my first real welding "job."

The point of this thread kinda went sideways though. I wanted other people to post up pictures of things they have welded that we're really thin, really difficult, or just generally impressive. I know my weld wasn't really any of these, but I was wanting to see other's examples of such, especially if it was done with an Everlast machine.

What type of current did you get with the pedal setting?

Any more cool pictures of thin material?
