    Aluminum is a hard way to start but you picked up pretty fast.

    Like said, you can see the improvements from the 1st to 2nd project. I know you have not had the unit long, I am impressed.

    Keep the projects coming.

    MD,

    Nice job, that aluminum can be tough, you see that first "wiggle" and it's too late!!

    When our welder was teaching me to TIG aluminum, he would have me tack together a three sided box, (two sides and a bottom) and then have me weld into the corner to drive the heat that way. This would teach me to watch for the "wiggle" and lay off before everything blew out. This was great way to practice for a novice.

    On a side note, I watched this guy TIG two gum wrappers together, he had talent!!.
