Instructions are always vague for beginners. Like on new weedeaters/computer stuff. The on/off button isn't on or off but little dash or circle. I have a weedeater like that and it's hard to start, I always forget what symbol is on or off!! Still don't know what super brain decided to get rid of on/off buttons and replace with symbols I need to call my sisters boys in first grade to tell me how to turn something on!!!

Ohh, ranting on,,, oops, and got a new phone , passwords!! No more simple 0012 or my name and year born, now have to have big letters, small letters, numbers, ,,,,,
That's why I haven't posted much lately because I don't know what my own passwords are!!! Ain't technology great!! Someone can hack my account but I can't remember what letter I have to capitalize!!!!

And we bought a house!!! , 180year old stone farm house, gonna be moving in a month or two. Big move, a whopping 200 yards away!!! Lol!!

I still have troubles keeping the torch at the right distance. For me I end up "dipping the tip". I know this sounds like a great idea but with TIG welding it is not. It F's up the tungsten and the weld. I would say you are doing just fine and will only get better. I like the fact that when I weld and then grind something, if there is a low spot or whatever I can just build it up with a little weld. Rarely any need for body filler even on rounded cabs or fenders. It really surprises me how few people do this. We are a rare breed! Welcome to the club!lol

Oh, and congrats on the house! Make sure you use the lowbed to move the equipment!
