Hey Zoama, I agree, Jody's videos are the best. I have watched a buch of them.

Thanks for that video, I'm not sure I've seen it.

fdc, wow that's not what I had in mind. lol I'm sure welding outside has it's ups and downs. Hadn't thought about those crappy weather days.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Richard, I definitely agree with the "work would be done by the time you dialed in the mig". Can't tell you how many times I've been trying to weld a nut onto a piece of tubing or some such thing and pull the trigger in the mig gun and bam there's too much filler already. I'm banking on tig to let me really get parts the way I think they should come out. I'm sure the more I practice on the mig the better I'll get with it also. Just seems to me that tig is going to be better for some things.

Thanks again guys, I appreciate the welcomes and input.
Steve
