Thanks for the comments. I'll try to get some more pics up this coming weekend, (when I get some more argon gas hopefully Friday).
, yah, 3/4" plywood on top of a 45 gallon poly trashcan that has a slanted top.
Yes, I'm using a tig machine on this. I do on most of my aluminum projects. Been welding aluminum since I was 18. 1st metal I ever learned to weld. And was using a spool-arc with helium. You talking about hot! You had to be moving when ya hit the trigger to keep from blowing up the material. It was 1"x1"x 1/16". Old feller that taught me said if I could weld that, I could weld anything . It was known as "spray arc".
I've got a Miller 252 also (mig for steel, stainless, and aluminum). But haven't found a spool gun I wanna spend the money on yet. So i just use it with regular mig lead for steel. And gas for everything!
