I’m not very experienced with tig welding but try to watch as amny of the videos as possible. How do you keep you tungsten sharp? It seems like I cant get the hang of not either having metal stick to the tungsten or having it burn back. If you could help I’d be grateful

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to peen the weld beads while they are still hot ?
Or is that just for heavy machined parts of 4130 or 4140 ?

Peening is a sensitive process to relieve stress. It can work against you if the application is overdone and cause cracking also. Rather than stress relieve you can actually set up stress fractures. Following correct pre-heat, post-heat and interpass temperatures is a better way to go. There is so much more to welding then running a bead. A welder has to be somewhat of a metallurgist also or one can cause more grief than good fortune.

Great video’s. I watch everyone and have learned a great deal. One thing you leave out frequently is information on what machine you are using, setup and consumables. That information would be invaluable to viewers. It is easy to see what you are welding, but being able to correlate that with what setup you are using each time would be even more useful to me anyway.
Keep doing what you are doing and I will keep watching.

Very nicely done Sir. I am a structural iron worker/welder by trade but I do side work in my garage at home and most of it is tig. A lot of this work is with aluminum fuel tank repair for big rigs. I would just like to say that I have watched a ton of your videos on all processes and have taken in a lot of great knowledge and insight that you have shared. I’m very greatful that you take the time to make these vids and go into the details and reasoning behind certain processes and practices that come with welding. I plan on growing and taking on more work and eventually becoming self employed. Watching your vids have helped in part with giving me ideas on tools, machines and personal equipment that would be strong investments to aid in making jobs more efficient and of better quality. And you and I both know that if you do good work you stand a much better chance of making things happen in business. In short I would like to thank you for sharing all that you do- it takes a great deal of time to make these videos I’m sure and I’m very glad that you do.
