Mads, the owner of a 44-foot hurricane-damaged catamaran, begins a week-long TIG welding practice program to prepare for future boat modifications, including a solar panel arch and hardtop.Watch He selects the HTP Invertig 251, a dedicated TIG machine, and sources 100% argon shielding gas in a 125-cubic-foot tank.4:19 Upon unboxing, he discovers a cracked plastic front bezel on the welder, which he attributes to a factory assembly misalignment.1:20 To build skill, he practices on stainless steel scrap, experimenting with varying amperage, pulse settings, tungsten sizes, and cup types, including a glass gas lens cup.10:16 He uses the machine to fabricate a replacement anchor roller from laser-cut parts, opting to use filler rod rather than the autogenous welding method found on the original component.2:18 While he successfully completes the primary welds for the roller, he defers welding the inside corners until he gains more experience.17:52
