Hi there!
I'm an artist desperately looking for a small upgrade of my solder-gun. I would love to weld 3MM thick flat bars to create frames. Strength is not too important, only welding artworks. Don't want to go full-on welding, I do not like the workflow. Recently I noticed "cold welding" or "tack-welding". This is exactly what I would like to do. This is an example:
I don't want Chinese quality though and live in the UK. Completely stuck. Ideally I would like a TIG welder (?) and convert it to a "cold welder" or "tack welder". In that case I have a proper welder in case I feel the need to give normal welding a go.
It's nice and clean and I love how you can control the welding by a "handheld gun" rather than foot pedal or continues cycle.
Can I just buy a TIG welder and implement a circuit braker so I have a control button? Also: In the link above there doesn't seem to be a "welding stick" at all. Is that integrated in the "gun"? This is also exactly what I would like. Do all with one hand basically.
Thank you, I would really appreciate any help and understand I might insult some people by not wanting a proper welder. Don't feel comfortable with it just yet, that's all. And don't need full penetration strength...
Thanks!
