Hello,
Im new to the forum and I guess this is the right place to post this.
Has anyone had success in building the TIG welder on this site?

I am waiting for a couple of half bridge 200A IGBT modules to arrive and have a pair of honking great transformers each rated at around 100A and 21-0-21V. Rectifiers are no probs and I have some nice big Evox Rifa caps for smoothing. Just need a torch, earth clamp, argon, regulator etc.
I also have a nice oil burner transformer and have made some tungsten spark gaps. Just waiting for the doorknob caps to wing it from Russia and the HF start will be sorted.
I can TIG weld, so this will help with trouble shooting at the end.
So has anyone had any joy in home brewing a TIG welder along these lines?
Thanks in advance.
Matt.
