Practice practice practice. And you'll be laying dimes in no time.

Btw I sent you an email about parts a week or so ago.

Dang....looks like my spam filter has been working overtime? Sorry about that! I've got to go on an all-day parts run tomorrow....so it will probably be Friday before I get back to you on your order!

Yeah....practice is right!....I can get a super nice looking weld and it seems everything is just going perfect......and then my next weld it seems I forgot everything and it's a disaster. Feeding the rod with my left hand is probably my #1 problem.....serious lack of LH coordination.

Yes, it is TIG.

I use this for the filler rod sometimes. Really helps me.

That looks like something that would really help me! If I just grab the filler rod and advance it by moving my hand toward the weld, I do fine....but once I run out of room to move my hand any farther, I get into trouble. Trying to feed the rod by using my fingers to slide the rod thru my hand is a disaster. I'm either jamming the rod into the tungsten or to the side of the pool where it gets stuck to the plate or I get so distracted by trying to figure out how to get more filler rod thru my fingers that I forget what my right hand is doing and dip the tungsten or stop moving the torch and the next thing I know I have a pool the size of a nickel.

Thanks for the link....I did not know that anything like that existed!
