here's one i just did today. its 1.75x.120 dom. the fitment on the notched piece wasnt the best and i could have cleaned the metal up quite a bit more. i'm using a red band tungsten, 3/32 filler, at about 90 amps. let me know what you think, and what i could do better!
basic rule of thumb on steel is around 1 amp per .001" to get proper penetration. looking good for starting w/ tig!
