I'm sold!!! TIG with the foot pedal is just like driving a motorcycle or car...foot is doing something and hands are doing something. Best welder I ever say was an old dude that worked for a ag fertilizer company in Salinas. He drank all the time and "back in the day" had a Thermos in his lunch box with a little nippy juice. The way his hands shook made the most perfect beads!!! Sad, but the guy was good...in 1978!
