PRACTICE!

No really, it looks good, but there is no replacement for practice.

that auctually looks really nice for just learning. it took me longer than 6 hours to get that good.

good work.

what type of machine are you using? does it not have remote amperage control?

I'm using a lincoln 185t and yeah it has a foot control for the amperage.

looks awesome! when you get to the end you wanna back off on your amps a bit. see how the metal is undercut?

I'm not sure if its just the picture or not but in the top pic... it looks like you have slight undercut on the bottom side of the weld... probably due to an improper torch angle...

But damn good for 6 hours!

awesome, i'm learning to tig right now too, it's pretty tough at first.. i'm almost as good as you and i've been trying for a couple days.
I actually like tig'ing aluminum a little better.
