Tank welding Tiggerific

*Disclaimer*

I have never welded aluminum before.  I have not used a tig welder in years.  This was my second time.  I am a self proclaimed proud-to-be booger welder.  This was a challenge.

Headin' there.

 I love my fruit trees but I wish I had one of these trees like my mom and pops.

Gettin' down to business.
Time to turn a cap for that hole.

 This lathe is so much easier to use....

 Done.

Fillin' holes.

 Ryan showing me how its done.

 This was my best flat weld after a little practice.

 Tank is done but not pretty.
I picked the worst thing to try to weld on my first attempt.....

Headin' home.
