Oh sure, another kid born with a tungsten spoon in his mouth.

I see those welds and just cringe at my own. Superb!

walking the cup?

I've noticed you guys talking about walking the cup... could you kind of explain how to do this technique? I'm always trying to find a more comfortable way to tig..

Holy [email protected], I haven't even laid one bead yet, but I believe I can tell a goodun when I see one. Is this about as good as it gets, and what I should be aspiring to? Very nice work...

Welllll, maybe if it was O/F welded, right Aaron? Actually I can hardly believe all that weld with such little apparent warping. I can't help enjoying a finished project. Good job! Still, how long will that last? It seems like there would have been a better way than 20 hrs of fab and welding. The roll cage where all those joints meeting in the middle seems like a week point. Any cage builders out there? I'm probably wrong

alha thats defenetly some nice work. some of his aluminum looks like it could use a lil more seat time but in general its all nice work. should you aspire to that level, shore. should you expect to be at that level soon, probly not. getting a solid TIG weld is much easyer than getting a solid good looking TIG bead. it takes time to get it right, much longer than MIG thats for shore. as long as you are not rushing and are willing to put in the time to get it right, you should be able to produce similer welds, eventualy. how soon depends on you and the amount of time you are willing to put into it.
my aluminum welds are solid but still in need af dressing up a bit, but i'm working on it when i get the chance, and am in no hurry, slow and stedy will get a nice bead apearence. consistancy is the key.
