After seeing all of the pics of the welds that everyone had put up on here, I tried to weld a pop can the other day at school. Well, I did it!! I not only welded a bead on the bottom edge, I welded a bead on the side material as well. I blew a couple of small holes in it, but this is the first ever piece of aluminum that I have ever welded before. No practice, just I just went for it.
Not bad for a first aluminum weld, if I do say so myself.
Here's a couple of pics:
What does everyone think? The next time I get to TIG weld, I'm going to weld two can together and, if successful, I'm going to try aluminum foil. When i finish, I'll post pics.
