TIG Welding with Stick Welder
Did you know that you can TIG weld with almost any DC stick welding machine?
It's called scratch start TIG and its DC only. But still very useful.
I bought a used miller thunderbolt AC DC stick welder off craigslist just to make this video along with some basic stick welding videos.
There are also lots of small inverter stick welders available that can also do scratch start tig welding.
And most of them cost less than what I paid for this used thunderbolt.
One of those small welders is shown below

TIG welding with a Stick welder is very common in construction for pipe welding as well as sanitary stainless tubing.
In a pinch, it also comes in handy when you need to do a small stainless tig job.
