I've been a member of this forum for a few years now , I joined up because I wanted a few tips on how to mig weld - thanks largely to the help advice and tutorials I found on here I have been able to stick bits of mild steel together with varying degrees of success. I'm under no illusion that I'm a master welder and fully understand that I will probably never be done learning this dark art.
All that being said I have always wanted to "give TIG a go"... I've just about decided on the tig set I'm after (either the esab buddy tig 160 or the thermal arc 175 te) they seem to be the two that will do what I want them to do and come in at the money I'm willing to spend.
My question to you fine folk is : what tips do you have for someone like myself looking to start out???.. no formal training, just the will to listen and learn.
Cheers all... and thanks in advance
