Project: Who here knows how to weld?

[bagpipe goatee]

The tig I learned on was an inverter welder, It was pretty cool. I've never used a "lesser" one, though, so I don't know how cool it really is.

I welded the stainless ring of a headlight with a car battery, jumper cable and the carbon electrode of a zinc penlight cell once. Other than that my buddy does my welding mostly TIG on anything and everything with HF easy start and a pedal that will crank out more than 100 amps. There is something about being an EE that the sound of the crack of an electric arc makes me a little jumpy - in my line of work it's a bad thing and it makes me jerk my hands away! LOL
