Default My welding thread, starting collector mockup!

Hi everybody, I had just graduated Hobart recently and decided to buy a new TIG machine. I am into the honda scene immensely and plan on doing some side work on manifolds/ aluminum work. I bought a Diversion 180 and have no complaints thus far. Anyways, here are some pictures of some welds I've done.

I had finally made some time to go out in the garage and practice a little bit, I have only been TIG welding for about ~3 months give or take. I practiced some scrap exhaust lying around.






Left joint is autogenous right with wire

Ive been really trying to get my ripples consistent, ill upload more as they come. I'm trying to get the ripples down before I start a manifold

Sorry for the crappy IPhone pictures, ill use my nice camera soon
