Learning How to Tig Weld - Part 2 Unimig 200 Razor ACDC TIG Welder

In this video we have a go at learning to TIG weld. I've never TIG welded before so if you're watching throw some feedback in the comments about your experience and tips for successful welding and set up.
The welder I'm using is a Unimig 200 Razor ACDC TIG/MMA. I'm attempting to TIG weld 3mm steel witha 2.4mm Lanthanated 2.4mm Tungsten and 1.6mm mild filler rod running pure argon gas.
Tungsten is ground down on a standard fine bench grinding wheel that I purchased from Trade Tools.
Consumables are from Bunnings including gas. If I get serious I'll be looking at a major gas supplier and proper welding shop to save cost and reduced my trips to Bunnings. :-)
Welder was purchased from Hare and Forbes in Brisbane. Staff are great and they have a full suit of Unimig gear.

Appreciate you sharing your journey. I'm new to welding too and it's reassuring to see that normal people do face challenges :) Not everyone is a pro straight away haha

This welder is really good. I'm hoping to do more very soon.

Good attitude mate, just getting in there & having a crack - been looking to see this machine in action.

Cheers mate. I'll get onto putting this fabrication together this week. I want to try the 'Spot Weld' function as well as trying to become better at running the TIG.
