Ya know, I don't always take TIG classes, but when I do, I leave with X-Ray certs on 2" pipe :)
Haha, I picked up another welding certification the other night, and I now hold 4 of them... This one was a lot of work, I got the pipes as clean as I could, ran a laywire technique on the root (@ 105 amps), then wire-brushed the crap out of each pass before the next (just because), and then, hoped for the best...
I found out shortly later that the pipe shot perfectly clean... I was pretty thrilled... And then after it returned from the X-ray lab, we sliced it up and bend tested it...
And these were the results...
This is one cert that I really wanted to get... And its only my second X-ray test, EVER (first one I did, was on titanium)...
I honestly dont think this TIG pipe stuff is very hard, its just a steep learning curve, and it takes practice.
Anyway, I just thought I'd share.
It was on this very forum that I decided to explore my randomly-discovered interest in welding, only a few short years ago. And you all have always been there for me, so I just wanted to thank everyone for giving me a "push" in the right direction.
Things are going well, and school is starting to wind down, I only have one more class left to take. And then, its job-hunt time! Yeehaw!!
Haha, well, thanks again guys. Hope you're all doing well...

Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that ‘quick look over’ before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
