I first learned about tig brazing with silicon bronze while I was moonlighting at a sheet metal fab shop.
Owner brought me a hydraulic tube from the forklift that had sprung a leak and was worn paper thin and also handed me a piece of silicon bronze filler rod. I show a mockup of that repair in ...

Teaching a friend a crash half day course for tig welding square tubing so he could weld a chair project out of square tubing

Getting full and uniform penetration on 11 ga carbon can be a challenge.
Sometimes requires a bevel and 2 passes

In this video...Tips for Walking the Cup welding a Stainless Steel flange to Carbon Pipe

this video shows hot pass, fill, and cap on carbon pipe welded to a stainless flange...not walking the cup

This video shows tig welding carbon steel coped tubing with settings, gas flow with a 10 cup, and common mistakes

The ABCs of welding are Always BE Comfortable. Finding a way to prop when you are welding overhead can be the main issue and makes a big difference. Sometimes you might even need to use a clamp to prop on . whatever it takes to get comfortable.

Whether its a vertical weld or laying flat on the bench, the same techniques apply, but getting comfortable can be the main thing. The ABC's of welding are ...Always Be comfortable

The problem with tig welding carbon steel square tubing is that is is easy to melt thru and pull oxides into the puddle. When that happens, the puddle gets weird. Pulse settings can help.

A project that brings out topics like gas shielding and electrode extension for tig welding carbon steel

This video shows the most common welds for carbon steel.
Tips for cups, settings, and some techniques for tig welding carbon steel 11ga thick fillet welds.

Dimensional restoration is a big part of aerospace maintenance.
A whole lot of aerospace tig welding is restoring worn metal.
And that often involves being able to weld a very small bead on an edge.
The thinner the metal, the more difficult it is so its good to start thick and work your way dow...

For 11ga cold rolled steel lap joints its all about torch angle and arc length.
Torch angle is pretty forgiving provided your arc length is tight.
So what is tight enough? The electrode diameter or less works for me
