After realizing I have the equipment to TIG weld aluminum I figured it was time to learn how to do it. Since I'm a welding inspector I know what the characteristics of a good weld are I had a good place to start. Not to mention I've spent many hours watching welder position and technique. I also have a decent knowledge of machine settings. Anyways, I only worked for about 2.5 hrs at it on Saturday and another 2 hrs or so on Sunday. Saturday was just practice on a piece of plate and random thin wall exhaust pipe. I have pics from Saturday but not from Sunday yet as I'm not done with the fmic pipe I welded on.

Here's my cold pipe fabbed up just not welded up yet
