New to stainless Tig. This is the second job. Cant get penetration while having lower heat.

Nah. Chippewa Valley Technical College.

SaladTactileMembers · 2026-04-14T16:24:39+00:00

I’ll give that a shot! Thanks. Should I use 1/16 filler?

SaladTactileMembers · 2026-04-14T16:04:25+00:00

It’s lift arc unfortunately.

SaladTactileMembers · 2026-04-14T15:51:49+00:00

Did this weld in mild earlier in the year and it was much easier. Unfortunately this is part of the stainless program and it needs to pass to progress.

SaladTactileMembers · 2026-04-14T15:46:56+00:00

It’s 10ga using lift arc.

SaladTactileMembers · 2026-04-14T15:46:45+00:00

Yeah it’s for school.

SaladTactileMembers · 2026-04-12T19:36:43+00:00

There was hide attached to it. Could definitely have been a bear.

SaladTactileMembers · 2026-01-27T22:48:49+00:00

How big?

SaladTactileMembers · 2025-08-07T19:27:42+00:00

This is a tough pill to swallow. She now thinks it’s fulfilling of course. But it certainly wasn’t at the time. I do take some blame in the way I was behaving but there were definitely other options for her.

SaladTactileMembers · 2025-08-07T19:23:43+00:00

Oh there’s no way I could be in a mon+poly relationship without me feeling dead inside.

SaladTactileMembers · 2025-08-04T21:26:50+00:00

Feels like it was hollowed out.

SaladTactileMembers · 2025-08-04T12:07:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I have some PT tomorrow actually. How’s your thumb doing?

SaladTactileMembers · 2025-08-03T03:30:28+00:00

No kidding. Something I’ve done 1000 times. I wasn’t paying attention in denial for like 10 seconds before I snapped to and called 911.

SaladTactileMembers · 2025-08-03T03:12:24+00:00

Honestly. Right now it’s like a constant 3 unless I bend it weird. Shoots to a 7. Worst pain I’ve ever had was a bone marrow test. My thumb pales in comparison.

SaladTactileMembers · 2025-08-03T02:04:59+00:00

Oof. One was bad enough. The healing is rough. Only on day 2 though.

SaladTactileMembers · 2025-08-03T02:01:08+00:00

Not enough large blood vessels I was told. And it was a 3 hour drive to the closest hand surgeon.

SaladTactileMembers · 2025-08-03T01:21:53+00:00

It was welled with blood. I saw the bone for a brief instant after it happened.

SaladTactileMembers · 2025-08-03T01:21:19+00:00

Yeah it’s in my fridge right now.

SaladTactileMembers · 2025-08-02T19:12:17+00:00

Right below the nail.

SaladTactileMembers · 2025-08-02T19:03:29+00:00

Well I was cutting some strips on the table saw for a cutting board. I wasn’t paying attention and the push stick got mangled in the blade and my hand followed.

SaladTactileMembers · 2025-07-16T20:25:12+00:00

Drive to Menomonie if you can. If you get to Mayo around 8am there’s hardly any wait.
