New from Alberta, Canada

[NVW]

Hello

First off I've farmed for 30+ years and have repaired, modified or built my own equipment.

I've welded for more years than that but only professionally for about 15 years.

I hope to learn from all of you and maybe pass on a little I know.

Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of talented people here. I lived in High River area of Alberta for a few years. Still miss it.

Hello, Just found this forum this morning. Been fruit farming in Ontario for 30+ years. Have had a stick welder for most of that time but only have average skills becase I just don't get enough practice. I'm thinking about getting a used tig welder, and from my research it looks like a Miller syncrowave 250 is a good choice. I plan to teach myself to tig weld just like I've picked up the other skills I have. My question is, are any of the instruction DVDs on tigwelding any good? If so, which ones? I realize that tig is quite a bit more complicated than stick, so would I be better off if I took a course or got an experienced welder to teach me?
Thanks, Bob

Thanks for the welcome

Farmer, High River has some nice scenery.

Weldor, after all it's Canada, tough to keep warm.

canujun, a video would probably help but there is nothing like personal instruction. If you have oxy/ac welded there are similarities.

Peer pressure has forced me to say welcome from, yet another, Albertan. Glad to have you.

And I know how hard that can be for a Canadian. (wife, and her family)

Thanks for the welcome guys. Even if in some cases it came grudgingly.
