Hey guys, I was getting bored waiting for the turbo installation which hasn't really started yet. So I started practicing aluminum welding. A welder friend of mine told me to practice beat on plate, and I did . The first 3 days, I was not using the Pedal because it didn't arrive yet. But I was using the Pedal on the 4th day. Here's what I came up with, I understand it's kinda like a mess and it's not going to win any award lol.


The result is a messy plate of 4 days of practicing.


Here's the 4th day with the Pedal. Just incase you are wondering, I was using 1/16 aluminum plate with 3/32 Red Tungsten, and 1/16 rod on this particular picture. The welding is an inverted Everlast Micro Tig 185 with AC/DC capabilities. What do you guys think, please give me some advice for me to move on. Thanks in advance.



I was told by 11Motors that they were busy with a Skyline GT-R, but they'll start the installation on Monday. So I'll get you guys the pics as they go, promise.
