I finally had time to take a TIG welding class. Today was my first day learning to TIG and I was pretty happy with my first results. I made 3 test passes without the rod and the instructor said your ready for rod. He said I did better the first time then most over the 25 years he had been teaching. That made me feel pretty good about it.

They asked me if it was harder then I thought it would be and I said no, it's easier then I thought it would be. I guess my machining and blacksmithing/knife making skills made the process more understandable then coming in green.

I have a lot to learn but really enjoyed the first day of hands on TIG welding. I need this skill to build that custom aluminum speedster hardtop. Working with Porsche's its always a good skill to know.

I'm sure some of you do this for a profession. Have any of you other guys take this class at a technical school?
