try that on a stainless bowrail outside on a boat thats moving with the wind blowing while your hanging on the side of said boat with the sun glairing on your lense... oh yeah and you cant grind the welds thay have to be polished out.  - make you wanna pull out your hair!  or at least quit and go drink a beer!

tig is easy as fuck to learn but hard as fuck to master.



oh yeah and FUCK GRAINING METAL!!!  you can have that shit.

we built a stainless stove exhaust hood in a 33 million..... yes i said million dollar house in annapolis and had to grain the entire thing AFTER the rich fuck decided he didant like the scotchbright look.  mind you with a belt sander while it was installed over top of a granite countertop and wood floors that came from africa.  fuck that shit fuck that shit fuck that shit!!!!  stupid rich people.

Try hanging from a homemade rack that goes over the top of a 28 ft truss doing overhead in a less than 30 degree angle, while your MIG nozzle doesn't even fit that far in, and its 117 degrees outside.

Ooooorrrr doing verticle welds all day long sitting on the floor, again in less than a 30 degree angle smashing yourself between two square tubes to get as close as you possibly can to the weld, but yet having to hold your arms out pretty much all day in order to reach into the angle that far.

Ive got more.... Im sure you guys do to.  :)

That last one is pretty funny looking Im sure, all you can see is my welding hood. The rest of me is tightly fit into the truss.

yeah.... two days ago I dropped a 10x4ft sheet of ten gauge mild on the top of my left foot like a guillotein... (not going to use spell check).... needless to say it's a bit fucked up.

my toes and foot look like a tye dye.
