Quick Low Cost TIG Filler Storage Tubes

The first film of 2021! Just a short one outlining how I quickly whipped up some inexpensive TIG storage tubes to keep my short filler rods clean and dry when not in use.

I'm still pottering in the workshop through winter, but it's too cold to stay in there for long!

I've had one or two viewers ask me what I think of my new Andeli 250 Amp TIG / MMA welder. Asking me to review a welder would be like asking someone who can't drive to review a car!

I don't even rate myself as a novice welder. Here's the proof...

That said I'm really pleased with it so far. I've a long way to go, but already I can manage a relatively clean controlled weld than needs little or no dressing afterwards. It produces no showers of sparks threatening to set the place alight, it's small and light enough to not clutter up my already overfilled garage. It has HF start, ramp up and down, pre and post gas. When I get there it will pulse and it will stick weld should the need arise.

Time will tell how long it lasts, but I'm not a heavy user earning a living from it -so hopefully a while. I couldn't justify the additional cost of AC for aluminium at this stage (the next model up). That might be one for the future...
