New 408 build finally started

Ok I’m back from my hissy fit.


While I took a break I refreshed my memory on welding aluminum. There is no way I could tig this so I put my aluminum liner in my mig welder and hooked up to my 100% Argon bottle on my tig welder. Now in the mill I was certified to weld up to one inch steel plate on both stick and mig welding but that was over 11 years ago. Only during my last five years of Millwright work was I even allowed to weld as we had Craft separation till they gave us 1.00 an hour raise and trained us to do each other’s Craft.
