Buying a Tig Welder & Taking a Class**

I learned on an ancient Miller TIG machine that was the size of a 21 cubic foot refridgerator. After a few years of welding I bought a much smaller new miller 200 TIG and what a difference! The key to good TIG welding is proper shielding and meticulous prep, not like the mud gun that will blow through paint and everything else. As I get older I find my hand isn't as steady as it used to be and my welds suffer, frustrating. Once you start TIG welding you wont want to MIG anymore, you may have the urge to redo the welding you have already done. Don't do it. :violent1:
