I got to weld with the TIG for the first time last weekend. I will get some pics up. We started on aluminum. I passed my first objective, butt welds in horizontal position, and am working on the lap weld. I am amazed at how much filler rod has to be put into the weld with AL compared to steel. I am still trying to learn how to feed the wire with my thumb and forefinger instead of stopping and getting a new grip on the filler rod. Like 69lt4 said though, the school has great facilities and equipment. They have 20 TIG welding stations with either Miller Synrcowave 350's or Lincoln Precision 375 machines. I can't wait to back in there this weekend.
