Since the woodworking part of the desk project is complete, it’s time to move on to the legs.  Metal was chosen as the material.  This means welding.  I have not had much time to spend with a welder since moving into this house.  I haven’t TIG welded since June 2017.  The welding cart was pulled out and argon was hocked back up to the AHP Alpha TIG 200.  Soapy water was applied to all the fittings.  Bubbles were made and a wrench was used to eliminate the bubbles.  The bubbles were little leaks which showed the fittings needed to be tightened a little bit more.  Everything is dusty and needs cleaned.  Soon there will be welding.
