Hi! Rusty
I just got my new Lincoln 185 TIG welder, I haven't tried aluminum yet. How is the 13b manifold material to weld?

Rusty,
Don’t forget about others in the vicinity, and pets too. A friend’s dog got his retinas burned from an arc welder.

-the other photo is why I decided to spend my money on a welder, rather than on a welder. Tom does very nice work. His welding hood has magnifying lens and he welds barehanded. Well, that impresses me at least.
Looks a little better than mine, but so far mine hasn't broken :-)
Was this TIG welded? How does he keep his hand from getting that arc induced sunburn? Man, I played with my TIG welder for about 15 minutes when I first got it. I read all the warnings and such, and figured they only applied to people who did this hours a day. The only thing I took seriously was the eye protection. Of course I was in short pants, kneeling on the floor. Afterwards, I had the worst "sunburn" of my life. Lasted for about 2 weeks. I just welded an electric flap limit switch bracket a few minutes ago. It was a tiny job, but I put on the leather coat, gloves, helmet, lead cup <g>, etc. Lesson learned.
PS- Tracy will catch up eventually. Auto tune will temporarily delay him, but when everyone has it, he should have more free time :-)
