Need to machine the other side but I have more to make before I do that.
Not sure about the surface finish on contour passes…seems a bit rough to me but I dont know anything about it.

Tig welding titanium?! … Im pretty good with the hot glue gun.
That’s a lie. I’m very average.

Kurt, do you mind me asking what type of Tig machine you use? I’m actually looking that them currently and there are way too many choices… <1k
I’m currently using an older 2016 model alphatig200. I think they offer a 210x now that’s a little more updated.
My next machine is likely going to be a prime weld 225x
I believe both are available on Amazon under $800. Ice welded with $8000 Miller machines, and these work just as good for hobby/light production.
Here’s some titanium.

The only thing I can really complain about on the Primeweld is the FAN NOISE.
The AHP is loud as well. So was the Lincoln i used to have. None of which bothers me at all.
Thanks for the reply. I have been looking at that one and the WeldPro 200GD. Both seem to be a ton of machine for the money.
I can’t wait to get my Primo finished as I want to try cutting aluminum. I never had the guts to do it with the Burley, even though others had some success. Hope all goes well for you.
I usually burn myself, and end up gluing something to the cat…

The real test will be cutting titanium lol
I don’t have a cat, but…I’ve always wanted to try gluing a piece of toast (butter side up) to a cats back.
Cats land on their feet, right?..and the toast HAS to land butter side down (law of metaphysics)…
So, if dropped, I expect the buttered toast cat would levitate just off the floor… to avoid the metaphysical impossiblity of the cat landing on it’s back or the toast landing butter side up…8^)
