BlueJeep, Thank you. Yes, I am using 1018 sheet metal. I am using MIG. I have a TIG but need to get some smaller tungsten for doing sheet metal. Just have not had time to mess with the TIG on sheet metal too. I would have loved to go to one of those sheet metal workshops you went to. I love doing sheet metal.

I really enjoyed the workshop, and I learned a TON. Questions like I've asked you I never would have known enough to ask before. Ron says he uses 1008 DQ steel on all his projects, saying it's about 20% easier to work than 1018 (but kinda hard to find). He also says he uses 3/32 orange tungsten for most everything...sheetmetal to 1/8" plate, steel and aluminum. I've had a TIG for a while now (too embarrassed to say how many years), but due to family and time limitations...I haven't spent much time practicing. I'm forcing myself to now though, and I'm really liking it.
Keep up the great work!
