I'm very much enjoying your adventures with TIG welding.  I recently tried
my hand at welding stainless with a new TIG unit, and was deeply ashamed
with the mediocre results.  I welded up a flexpipe for the exhaust on a
Syncro, but it looks to be assembled by two five year olds melting grey
crayons with a magnifying glass.  I fully expect aluminum to similarly
bring shame and family dishonor to my shop.  You go right ahead and keep
raising the bar that much higher, 'cause I've accumulated years of hubris
which gets stripped away by the sting of envy and self-loathing
