      Hello, I'm extremely interested in taking your course but had a few questions, Does aluminum tig welding techniques apply to stainless steel and carbon steel as well? Or how much difference is there in techniques from one to the other? I enjoy your teaching techniques and would love to start your classes.

      You keep showing gorgeous wide stainless weld beads, without evidence of a weave, while mine are hopelessly narrow. Can you please do a video on bead width adjustment on stainless? We only have a month left in the school semester and I'd love to be able to do Dusty beads 😛

    Yo, Dusty --
    Great series of videos. I watch regularly.
    I've been struggling with basic lap and corner welds on aluminum for many months. There's no telling how much aluminum I have destroyed working at this. So today I made a major step of progress -- you might mention this sometime. I recently had cataract surgery and while my vision is much better now than it has been in decades (retired, TIG welding is a hobby for me), I still found I had to grab my cheaters to read smaller print. Then it hit me: If I need them to read, maybe I need them to weld! So I got a $10 cheater lens from Amazon to put in my welding helmet.
    The difference was immediate and amazing! I didn't realize I wasn't being able to focus well on the tungsten and puddle. My aluminum welds still are not good looking like yours, but I'm confident now this will improve, and they are at least plausibly sound welds where before they looked mostly like snot.

      I found the same with stick welding, put my reading glasses on, got up close, and suddenly everything improved a lot.
      You need AC on TIG for Al?

    I have an old AC-DC HF CIG brand TIG from the 1990's , she still works (after a few repairs)...
    It's always good to get lessons on these old machines...

    Dusty thanks for the awesome channel I improve with each video. This one in particular answered a number of questions and solutions to try. Its like you directed this personally to me :) Definitely going to grab a flow meter as I think I am wasting a ton of gas and revisit my balance settings.

    Good tips Dusty, thank you. I have and use a flow meter with all of my welders and not just TIG. I disable the wire feed on my MIG (open the tensioner) and check to make sure the flow is what it says and I want (I have a Everlast the flows less at the MIG gun then what it says). Thank you for your videos, keep them coming.

    Hi Dustin, Well being an old guy that has wanted to get into TIG welding, but never took the time from my GS desk job to do more that get a good deal on what now is an antique welder. I have retired and have built a shop where I can have enough electric power available to hook up the still on the original pallet new old stock Lincoln Square Wave 255 acquired almost 30 years ago in a trade. But after watching your video for awhile, and now this, I’m thinking I may have to see if I can swap out the machine for a newer, smaller machine or just forget the fancy aluminum and stainless welding to just keep using my MIG or gas torch on my mild steel projects. So let me know if you hear of anyone wanting a new (as in never hooked up, still on its original pallet) old Square Wave 255 in the DC Capital area. Cheers, Tom

    I work on aerospace, it's my first year and I've been welding for about 2 1/2 and I use this machine and let me tell you. It sucks! Compared to the new inverters this thing is a dinosaur indeed 😂

    Try cups from Tiglab in Poland, they do special heavy-duty types for motorsport fabrication, that dont break when they are dropped. Also cost less than the very fragile ones from the well known manufacturers.

      I'm no pro in tig but I'm going to guess you're moving too fast. I just started and it looks more like mig fillets. I'm going to try slowing down and let my puddle get a bit wider.
