Thanks for sharing. Tremendous skills and the ability to put those skills into action. It gives us mere mortals something to shoot for anyway.

Dynomutt · 06-01-2009, 10:37 PM

OK now you're just showing off.

That kind of talent is almost disgusting.

Very nice work on all of it.

**N2TRUX** · 06-01-2009, 11:10 PM

Daaaang those are pretty beads. Are you sure that's not photoshopped?

4cefed · 06-02-2009, 01:20 AM

Is that pulsed at all? There is like no HAZ thats killer. Whats your torch setup (cup size, lens , tungsten etc...) How many amps?

I can vouch for the welds not being "photoshopped"... I don't normally get "weld envy"... but I still can't make my TIG beads look that perfect!

Twisted Minis · 06-05-2009, 12:36 AM

Ya Brooks makes it look too easy. Definitely has some serious talent.

jlaird · 06-05-2009, 09:33 PM

everytime I see welds like this, I think of this post. Very interesting...talking about the strength issue...starts about 3/4 of the way down the post. Let me know what you think about it??

I'm too a certified welder my self so i know exactly what type of weld should be put into action for the type of project that I'm tackling..

That guy is very much correct in what he is talking about, continues welding is the way to go if you are a pipe welder, heavy steel builder, or in areo space. those fields usually are under a tremendous amount of stress or pressure...and are required to have 100% penetration where build truck here not skyscrapers

Honestly i would have to write a book to explain everything

Musclerodz · 06-06-2009, 12:36 AM

There is only a few other people I have seen weld this nice. I have been gas welding for years, never have stepped over to mig or tig, only played. I am waiting for my wife to finish her BS in nursing so I can go learn how to run a machine correctly.
