TOHCan: I'm going to stick with the TIG. I did it for a living for about ten years. I don't know if you're familiar with the product, but I welded metal hose; VERY thin material, I'm extremely comfortable with the process. Thank you for the advice on warpage prevention. It was not a big issue in the work I did, but certainly something I need to be aware of. I appreciate the pointers. Funny you mentioned cutting some sheet metal into strips and butt welding them. Back then, that was one of my tests for prospective employees who claimed TIG experience.
