Here are my excuses.
Cant see through old ratty welding hood.
Welding hood fogged up.
No glasses on.
Out of argon.
Mosquitoes eating me alive.
Cant get in good position.
Electrical supply had lose connection in the wiring and I couldn't get my amperage to stabilize in one place.
(I was wondering why I was having to go up to 130 amps and them it would be too hot and I would have to lower it then back up again).
I discovered this today after I got a new bottle of gas and the welder wouldn't come on.
Need more practice as I dont weld enough.
Tig welding is darn near like flying a helicopter.
But the welds do hold and they look better than what was on it.
I also bought a new Miller auto darkening welding hood today from the welding supply shop.
