Aerospace TIG Practice and a Hack Fixture

Jody Here, 

Around 33 years ago the company I worked for asked me to certify over a 100 welders to mil standard 1595a.

That was the standard in place at the time for Aerospace welding, so there were two things I did right away.

#1 I submitted a tooling request to get some fixtures made for testing..#2 I got my CWI...Then a bulletin came out and there was a pretty tight deadline to get everybody certified... so my boss said you need to start tomorrow. 

I hope this video does you some good, and inspires you to get out of your comfort zone and/or practice on some new/different techniques. 

In this video I used one of my new Navigator Gas Lens kits. I get a ton of feedback on the type of kits folks want to see, and this by far was the most requested setup. We have clear and ceramic versions available for PRE-ORDER, just in time for Father's Day Weekend. IF you end up pulling the trigger on any of the 4 new kits, you will also get a free TIG Finger when we ship out your pre order (on/before 7/1/24)

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there.
