After reading through this thread I don't know if I should even post mine. Some mighty fine weldin' in here.
Even though these are MS TIG welds they may more resemble MIG welds. I learned on a MIG & some stick many years ago, and just recently using TIG. I have a habit of pouring the filler to the weld. I can't seem to get the hang of the "Stacked Dime Look".

I guess I just need to find somebody that can weld and watch them lay a bead. I've had people explain the technique (laying dimes) and it doesn't seem to work for me.
BTW: When I weld aluminum, I can get the dime look with no problem.
go figure.

Thats what I need to do with tig, I can do steel and get it to go but aluminum is a whole other story (at least for me). Migging aluminum is easy though once you get the machine setup right. Originally Posted by pro70z28

KC1,
Pics are kinda fuzzy. Not bad but could be a touch hotter with a touch more filler.
All,
Here's a stainless steel turbo collector I did this week:
