I actually posted my first thread in the TIG welding section as I didn't notice a new members area
Anyway, I'm Greg (probably guessd from the name!) and spend a lot of time restoring rusty VW's with my Clarke 135TE MIG.
I served my time as an Engineer in the Aerospace industry, and although I wasn't a welder by trade, an oppurtunity arose to learn TIG welding, which I jumped at! I worked on an INE machine and soon after I was coded, doing various welding op's on Rolls Royce turbine engine components.
In that time I made alsorts for myself, exhaust and intake manifolds, oil bottles, expansion tanks, even made an aluminium intercooler!
Since then I've changed job, coding lasped over a year ago, and I miss TIG welding or more importantly the things I could make with one! Sooo I'm looking at buying a setup of my own (theres a post on it) and any help and advice along the way!
REALLY great forum btw guys, I've learned loads just browsing over a few topics. I hope I'll be able to make my own contributions before too long!
