Steel looks pretty good, and the aluminum could use a little work. Feather the pedal at the end slowly getting out of your arc, and use the post flow to fill that crater. A weld from the start to the finish down to the tacks are important. It looks like you have really good mechanical skillz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just practice a little more, and do it up!.

 

thanks man! appreciate that, anyway yeah I have trouble with a steady hand when tigging, I have to start and stop start and stop etc... cant seem to get comfortable either, kinda pisses me off becasue I love it so much. thanks for the boost!

What type of Tig are you using?

 

Looks not to bad. Yea, what welder are you using?

 

I think it was a heliarc... not sure though thanks.

 

heliarc is an old trade name for tig. I think he meant what brand you were using.
