Default Made a test pipe

Well I've been tig welding for about 3 weeks now. About 1 hour a day or so.








Still not where I want to be yet but it's getting better day by day.

Thanks for looking!

I suck at welding bungs, I always get them too hot and they warp, even when I turn the wire speed and amps down on my tiny Craftsman welder. Your bung looks good (I'm expecting that to be quoted and butchered btw).

Thanks for the comments.

The machine is an Inverter fusion 200hf, a british made machine. It cost me about $1400.

Yeah I find the bung the most difficult to get a good consistent bead as the nut is flat and the tube is round so there's always a gap to work with. Getting better at it though.

I did and it still happened. When I unscrewed the plug it ate the threads.
