Stan-- Beautiful beads, just one ? why do the beads in the top pics look like they are laying flat or is it my old eyes can't see right

Very nice work Stan. Glad to see you have not lost your skills since the show! Thanks for sharing.

Looks like the first pic was done with steel "odleo", on thin stock.This the beauty of tig, I weld sheet metal and have got to make it into the LWS and get some 0.040 e70-s6 filler because I have been using mig wire twisted back on itself in a pinch and you get such a nice flat even weld that their is minimal grinding, a person could almost start the weld with filler on a butt weld and pull the filler away for an autonmous weld.
Like to see how you finish aluminum on inside corners, finshed butt weld ends and some pulsed thin stock if you have the time.This is where I have some problems.
