I wouldn't put it back in service, new ones are cheap and my arse ain't, but I'm wondering if it would be worth playing with to practice welding cast AL?



Yes, one underwear soiling averted. Not mine, this is off a brother's bike. Called and said his clutch was loose, told him I'd pick him up from work (bike is only transpo) and take a look for him. Had to work on his wife's computer anyhow...

So since I got the TIG, I've been looking at every piece of scrap anything, wondering if it would be a good piece to practice on. Thoughts?
