Howdy Metalburner26, Yep, grinding a lump of steel is alright, but blasting it half way across the road - now that's REAL fun :) . I used to live near the...

Steve I just found this group and think your project is fascinating. I've been reading some threads on other groups about using auto alternators for welding,...
... Hello Mike B. Some time ago I took my Tig handpiece out to Steves farm and tried it out on his battery welder. There was no current limit, so we feed the...
I'm not as knowlegeable as most of you, probably, but I was looking into something like that awhile ago and learned that you need a high freq generator to...
Howdy Mike, The idea of TIG welding, appeals greatly to me, as does MIG welding. I haven't yet made serious inroads towards developing these yet, but I have...
Gidday Keith, Sorry about the rotten weather today, I had an outdoor project to complete - so, naturally, it's persisting down :( . I still have that melted...
Howdy Seikosman, Yes, I seem to remember similar details about TIG welding. Perhaps an inductor, in series with the DC feed, will be useful. This may permit ...
Hello All I've never used a TIG, but I've been told it's the way to go for aluminum and thin sheets, so I've been researching it lately. From what I've been...
Hi Here's the link I was talking about http://www.geocities.com/ftpspace1/welding.htm And heres a link to a homemade tig torch http://smithsff/did/DIYTIG.html ...
Howdy Mike, Thanks for those links. The Tig welder looks quite interesting, and it looks like I need to study up on it, so I can have a go at making one for...
trying to make a tig was one reason I looked into this group; I've used them on aluminum, stainless and mild steel and they are nice for thin stuff and making...
Howdy Seikosman, That TIG technique looks more interesting, with every passing day - I've just got to give it a go. The pictures that were shown in that link,...
I hope you can figure something out- i'm not electrically savvy enough to; after you figure it out I'll copy it; tig welding is kind of like torch welding-...

that idea with the alternator sounds simple enough even for me; guess I'll start looking for one; wonder if it would need a fan to cool it and how powerful of...
One trick for starting a TIG arc with a "budget" power suppy like a home workshop arc welder, is to start the arc on a carbon rod, like those sold for carbon...
Howdy Keith, That's worth a try. Perhaps I could make a mini Tesla coil system, to initiate the arc. At first glance, it seems like it won't be too hard to do....
I recently bought an oil-coiled welder, the insulation of the mains primary winding of which has failed. From researching the issue, it appears that this is a...
We get our windmill motors and transformers done by the local motor rewinders. They carry a good selection of winding wire, and if you want the pros to do it,...
