I have to come clean, or clarify - the TIG welding on the stainless was done by friend. Trust me, I am still struggling with TIG on stainless, the arc is so small, I have trouble seeing and gauging puddle size. I'm a bit better on aluminum, and I did the aluminum brackets on the muffler.

But I am practicing every day, after a few thousand more hours I might be able to make a neat small bead on stainless :)

Next project is to make a rear bumper out of aluminum. I'll use the MIG welder for that.
