Cheap Harbor Freight TIG Welder Set Up

This is a how to set up / DIY / homemade tig welder system. If you are a beginner / newbie like me, before you throw down the big buck to start tig welding you can go cheap and see if you like it. I have a Harbor Freight inverter DC stick welder. The other things you'll need are tig torch, argon gas, tungsten, filler rod, and maybe some extra consumables. I picked up the welder and gas tank from local classified ads. Filled the argon tank and picked up some filler rod and tungsten at a local welding supply shop. I am not endorsing any of these products I am simple linking a couple website to give you an idea of where to find stuff.

Here are some links to all those items:
