    Add another one to the greatest hits playlist. Watching your process helps answer a lot of questions I haven’t even thought of to ask yet.
    Also, I got TiG Button for Christmas and to anyone debating whether or not to make the investment, do it. You will have no Regrets.
    Thanks for feeding us great content.

      I picked one up about a month or so ago; wish I'd done it sooner, and I don't even weld in awkward positions!

    • @scottymakerdude3827
      @scottymakerdude3827 2 года назад +1

      I have a hard time since I’m older to coordinate the foot pedal with my welding. I have to sit while I weld, so the foot pedal takes a front seat to what I’m welding, and sometimes it’s an inconvenience.

    I prefer to place a 1/8" diameter dab of torque seal at the edge of the fastener as opposed to a bead across the entire head (as the instructions show). Much more pleasant to look at and still functions as intended

    Whenever I put my TIG torch over my legs, it usually burns though my pants, and I get a burn mark in my calf.

    • @6061
      @6061  2 года назад +2

      @D C
      -Turn torch away from leg
      -Don't weld too long unsleeved if you are using high amperage. Put sleeves on or use sunblock.

      It's used so you can tell if fasteners are staying tight by a quick visual inspection. It's used a lot in aviation on critical fasteners that can't be loose. It's all over the place on helicopters.
