Thank you. It takes practice and a good machine I use a Lincoln Precision TIG 275 with pedal. I use a water cooled Weldcraft torch. I used a 7/8 straight cup. For anyone starting out on TIG i suggest using 2% thoriated tungsten(red band on end). Its the best all around tungsten for newbies. Then work up to Tri-mix (cream band). Never buy pure tungsten(green band) its not all that great for anything.

Anyone can msg me on AIM if they need any help with welding questions
