Thats tig welds. Thats a whole different ball game right there.

So much time and patience and planning out your welds and how each one pulls and cools so you dont pull the frame out of square.

I wish i had a tig and a frame table. But then i would need a bigger garage. The list goes on and on...

I learned how to stick weld in high school shop class haha. But yeah I'm stoked to learn how to tig weld.

 

[mymmeryloss]

Tig welding itself isnt hard. Its setting up the machine and all that nonsense that is hard to learn...

 

[stcopley]

That truck is sick. Im shopping around for welders now actually. Trying to learn what i can to get the right one. Any suggestions?

 

[mymmeryloss]

How much u looking to spend?

 

[stcopley]

Up to $300 since i just need something basic and gotta buy some other stuff

 

[mymmeryloss]

Good luck...

Look on craigslist

 

[stcopley]

I could go more. How much u recommend saving?

 

[TigBitties]

i think we spent 500 on our hobart, its pretty nice. but then you need to buy more stuff on top of that yet
