Thanks for the positive feedback on the welds. This is where the Tig really shines as it gives you such great control. I still burned through at the corners but it was great practice. I have to do another box for the up/down switch and speed control dial which i will share later.

place the box so that the corner can be welded downhill, find you some scraps to practice on, no longer then that seam is you should be able to apply some filler at the top and drag in all the way to the end of the joint.

my motto with welding is no sense in putting it on if you gotta rub it back off (I hate grinders)

I'll try that tonight on the last seam.

Sometimes that grinder can be your best friend
