My first tig project

[rich74310]

Well i had to have a go at a tig welding project which is a first. usually i would get the mig out. Made the shaft on the lathe so that different core drills could be used on my petrol drill.
Then decided to tig the whole frame for practice.
Please let me know if there any good,criticism welcome

cheers guys and girls

Its looking good rich, especially the weld round the shaft, travel speed is perhaps a little fast in places, the shape and spacing of the ripples gives it away, but getting round a curve isnt always the easiest weld to do, well done.
