• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Hey all,
Just picked up my first Tig welder and am looking forward to improving my skills. I’m an avid motorcycle and auto mechanic looking to add this great skill to the list.

I look forward to conversing with you.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the welcome. I am on my search for tig consumables, do you guys have any favorite places to purchase from? Local or online?

Cheers,
Brian
 
Here in the Hat I use Western Canada Welding, they have good people here and I've never lifted my eyebrows at anything I've bought, well......... except for my auto darkening helmet. but I only have one pair of eyes : )
 
Cars/ Motorcycles, me too. Had to stop the motorcycle thing yrs ago though, back problems. Just lately had an opportunity to turn/make axles for the neighbor. He builds/restores a bike on every winter. I have never tried tig, I shake like a leaf. Two hands on the mig for me!
Welcome, Todd T.
 
Welcome from Vancouver Island.
I’m also looking to add TIG to my capabilities.
What machine do you have?
