Recently I was TIG welding an aluminum ladder rack repair using my AHP Alphatig 200X. Almost cooked my pinky. Just received my TIG Finger from you. What a great little invention. Protects my finger and provides a smooth sliding surface.

Hi Jodi. I look forward to your videos. Man I wish I had these videos when I started welding in 1967! Here’s a thought, why not mark your tig fingers to differentiate them from the knock offs. Maybe color stitching, a stamp, a small pressed clamp style piece of thin metal like you sometimes find holding a new pair of socks together. Wish you the best.

good technique. just like i remember. brings back memories.

Thank you. Any stick welding stuff is great.

Thank you for the info on different techniques in running the 6010 root pass! Wish this video was available when I took the 6g years ago. Your videos are above and beyond some other welding vids. Can’t wait to see this stick test finished out. Maybe I’ll get the desire to tack the coupons up, that have been staring at me in the corner of the garage, antagonizing me and try it again!

I haven’t welded pipe since trade school but I sure do miss it. Thanks Jody for the video. God bless.

[adamswelding]

Tips watch the keyhole and don’t step out too far or too short! And keep the arc tight enough you don’t see light on the sides of the electrode!

[Ztingjammer]

Thanks for putting down time and effort to show us good techniques. Oh btw, I love your TIG-finger. I was surprised as to how good it actually works.
