Hi,
I want to weld some aluminium, unfortunately all i got is a smelly old MIG, i intend to eventually save up enough to buy a decent TIG welder, because most of the welding i want to do is like the ole high school G-clamp project, only using m4 thread instead m14, precision stuff, or rather just really small and no place for a workshop sized mig.
ANyway, im well aware of the fact that an ignition coil will not produce an output capable of making reliable welds on a large scale or even reasonably to any degree, but im only messing around, welding a few chunks of aluminium together, gouging, and maybe welding bolts onto sheet metal, i had some legitimate reasons before but ive totally forgotten them now, anyway, my question is, what is the best way to use an ingition coil to do tig welding?
I definitely intend to use it for gouging sheet metal, and i have kilos of graphite here to do your typical graphite gouging, but how can i configure it to give it the best chance of success in welding aluminium?
Again, just tiny little stuff, nothing huge.
