What was your latest Alu welding project?

[Gonsenheimer]

Hi,
the last weekends I studied my new TIG AC Welding equipment.
It is real fun ! I did several lessons, tried with AL MG and AL SI , and now feel comfortable to start a first project, - but there is no.
Anyone some good idea for an aluminium welding project, what did you recently weld?

Thanks for your inspiration and ideas

My most recent was filling in the chunks I took out of my outboard motor prop. Just slowly filled in the missing aluminum and filed the prop fluke to match the other flukes. Of course this is a 25 up motor so balancing the prop wasn't a big issue.

What machine did you get?

What machine did you get?

It's a chinese AC/DC 200A 220V welder which can also do plasma cutting. They are sold under various brands in several colours, see here:

Nice, looks like it has all the good features. I have yet to weld any projects yet, all just practice beads for me. I'm thinking of starting with a tig rod holder though.
