I just got my Miller TIG welder and was wondering if there was anyone on here that might teach me how to use it?? i have just been playing around with it for now, read some things on line but would like to get some guidence from someone. i had someone that was going to show me but cant get a hold of him....

Best thing to do is practice lots. I have taught myself as well as that is. I would never weld something and trust it like a bike frame or something. But I do a lot of exhaust and other stuff. Mines a MIG though. I would love to learn TIG.

Another good thing is reading on it. Finding out about how metals work together and heat ranges and stuff. I think there are a couple of awesome welders on here that do it for a living. Isn't Bordnbill one?

Here is a cool site to check out on alternative welding styles. This guy lives in Oly and I have seen his stuff. Check out the videos.

Green929rr actually welds all the time, might want to hit him up. Or I can talk Jeff at Fine Finish into hosting some kind of clinic if you really want to get in depth.

That would not be me. I don't weld. I have a buddy that does it for me.

Yes sir have and have used a Miller S/W180 tig for years....

I can show you the basic and trust me that a real good start.

I am a great teacher as long as you take notes. Welding has to be done weekly or you loose the nack but it comes back very fast with a little practice.
