I saw that. Pretty sad indeed.
Aluminum is much easier than people think with the right equipment and prep.
and not real hard to make pretty also

I try to TIG everything at work,But its not very mobile.
I get burned all the time with the mig.Shoes,ears,arms,etc.....

I end up stick welding stainless for small repairs,That is a pain.

I do now have a sweet mobile stainless mig welded that runs off 110 or 220

Hey those kids are local, I'll need to see if I can get them to do some welding. Looks like they turn out some quality work!!!

I was doing the notch on my car and began to prep the areas for welding using a Harbor freight 4 1/2 in. grinder. I was standing holding the grinder taking a break and remember my glove getting real hot when I noticed the grinder was shooting sparks out and on fire! Had ear plugs so I coulnt hear the ruckus the grinder was making..
