Hi everybody

[Hunnybunnywoowoo]

Hello and happy new year to you all.
About me!
My name is Scottie and my surname is my username. Hey it was a funny idea and the deedpole web site got my £30 so thats that over and done with. Strange but true

Why am I here?
Years and years ago I did City and guilds in Gas and ARC welding overhead upright ETC . And for years I have dealt with my trusty Oxford and a bit of gas.Now comes the time for some upgrades so with that in mind I just bought a new toy

Thermal ARC Fabricator 181i with the TIG torch and Argon/Argon-CO2 mix Brand new in the box Yes I know it`s not the best but a nice hobby welder.

New to MIG welding so i spent 2 days in the shed working/practising getting my head round it. Made some really nice welds and am loving it.

Now TIG thats the issue I can gas weld so I get the principles BUT I`m struggling with the TIG

I`m hoping to be a valid member on here to not only learn but to assist in anyway I can.

Oh I also run one of the last of the LEZ compliant MK3(top gearish fame Hilux`s left) But thats another story. I love Metal,hate wood and love mud fun

So please be gentle with me I know what forums are like I was a moderator on a Hilux owners forum/club till recently

Welcome to the forum, it's always good when members plan to get stuck in and help others.

Regarding the surname.. common as muck up here, there must be at least one Hunnybunnywoowoo family on every street.

As for the surname Yeah common as kryptonite here too

But as said it`s true and the laughs/grief it gets me on RAMS etc at work .....Was it worth it? Hell yes I make people smile on a daily basis . And thank you for your warm welcome

Welcome to the forum, seems a bit excessive changing your surname to your username

Hi. Are you using the argon co2 mix. If so stop, you need pure argon for TIG

Sorry new here and trying to do multi quotes NOT yet mastered that

No I bought 5% ARGON CO2 for the mig and Pure Argon for the TIG. I have the issue of burning the tungsten so looking thru the FAQ`s on tig
