Some MIG (spring perch)
Some TIG (home built DANA case spreader)

I bought a square wave TIG machine (Lincoln 200) a couple years ago.
I’m learning

The exhaust pipe weld was just for practice awhile back. It was done by my son's girlfriend who has never welded anything before. She saw me welding up patch panels and asked if she could try it. I showed her how to use the MIG and then let her run a few beads on some scrap steel. Then we gave her this exhaust pipe and let her go to town. Most of us know how difficult exhaust pipe can be to weld. First time out, what can you say, the girl missed her calling. She had a blast doing it.

Now you guys are just showing off. I do the put to much on and grind it to just the right look method. I'm so bad that all my fabricating had to be tack by me and a friend would stop by and do the welding for me. He was good, he could weld water!!

One good thing about sailing away from land is that you can dress how you want to.....but, I pretty much do that in my shop

Nice. What kind of welder was she using ? You obviously must have a helluva machine.
