[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 50493, member: 751"] I consider it more of an art.I did a little mig welding on thin aluminum sheet.Not a good idea.Worked but it was ugly.Tig with a water cooler torch is the way to go on thin sheet metal.I wouldn't consider it a beginners area.Aluminum is really easy to blow holes in if it's over heated.If you can get scrap and practice on that to get used to the heat settings for a given thickness.I'm sure you can do it with a little practice and the correct equipment.
