agreed, but just because you might be a good stick welder, doesnt mean you can be a good TIGer. ive seen first hand, people who can stick weld decently well, pick up a tig machine and look like bird **** on pipe. to become a pipefitter, you have to go to school for FIVE YEARS....90% of which is welding. TIG is a total art. any retard can mig weld. stick takes alot of time and practice.......but TIG....either you go it, or you dont. 2 handed welding, walking the cup, controlling your heat/gas/cup size......its not for everyone.
