Welds look great. I welded for 3 years in college and I never got very good at tig because the place I worked for mainly speced mig welding. Just a thought: What makes Tig welding preferable in these applications?


cosmetics, control and thinner materials make tig the best option. you get a much cleaner weld. you can weld stainless and aluminum with mig, however there is a lot of setup involved and the quality is pretty crappy in comparison. tig is a lot easyer and it looks great.
