    Hello from new member

    Sup guys. Ive been a stick welder for 5 years welding mostly structural on marine barges. I just ordered my first Tig combo unit and am more excited than anything to get to use it for the first time. Everyone I work around has some experience with tig but I have actually never used it. I been doing lots of research and have been relying on threads like this to help me out. I think ill know what Im doing, but im not about to get cocky. Keep us updated Spark Plug. Im sure ill encounter some of the same problems. Good luck.
