I picked up a new Precision TIG 185 roughly one month ago and I've completed my first project. It's a nothing special but I had a lot of fun with it. I'm starting to get the hang of torch angles, heat, and adding the right amount of filler.

Log Rack made of all 1/8" wall thickness mild steel. Feel free to tell me it looks like crap.






After I made the rack we loaded it up with wood. It seems to be holding up just fine.

C'mon man, you know those welds look gorgeous. Good job.

 

I agree. Great job!

 

Pretty nice for a month. What were the settings when you did that work?

I'm just starting to practice a little bit of TIG at my work, but only about once a week. I hope I can pick it up pretty quickly and start laying some beads down like that, nice job!

 

Thanks guys. The joints were in easy locations, it gets ugly as soon as I get out of position. I was running 1/8" Thoriated Tungsten at 168 amps but the pedal wasn't all the way down.

 

okay, it looks like crap--NOT .

looking good man.
