Got my aluminum gas tank back from the Cajun Welder today. What a welder! Stacking dimes. This guy can TIG a beer can. I gotta have a TIG machine! Read a story somewhere about a guy that got into TIG and became an artist. I bet I could do that. Heck, can't be harder than fixing a tooth.

I guess that would depend on whether or not you were using the welder to fix the tooth and whose tooth it is that is being fixed.

I just started my welding class and the instructor said the same thing about tig - quote I heard is you could tig two gum wrappers together if you were so inclined. Would be cool, but that price tag is a little painful, kind of like a root canal...

Speaking of wierd dentists (but obviously not you Bill)...
Anyone seen that movie Ghost Town with Ricky Gervaise starring as the dentist with no people skills, now he's really wierd!
No LBC's in it but the New York city views are great.
A movie that's well worth watching.

One of the best metal knitters I ever met was a dentist who got bored with the practice, learned to weld and could lay a bead to stitch aluminum fiol pieces together. He did a three-part article for some national hot-rodder mag, I did the photos back in the day. He was an ARTIST, IMO.
Go for it, Bill!!! You've already got "the hands" for it. :thumbsup:

I agree - I bet you have the feel for that sort of work and would pick it up quickly. I know TIG welders are expensive, but I get you could get a perfectly usable one on Craigslist for less than the price of a replacement fender.
