Last week’s video was a 3g mig test.
Today, it’s overhead….or 4g.
In my humble opinion, a short stickout, enough current, and gun angle are the keys to welding a 4g overhead mig test joint.

Tip for tig welding thick aluminum is to preheat. The way an old pipe welder told me that works great, especially with limited amperage of single phase units, is to take an oxyacetylene torch and turn off the oxygen producing a black flame. Cover the part to be welded with the black soot. Turn on the oxygen to a neutral flame and heat the part to be welded until all the soot disappears. The part is now at the perfect preheat to start tig welding. Works great.
Good job, and it was well illistrated.
What about a complete series on stick, with root, fill, and cap.
