SHE TIG WELDS! Fabrication Shop You've gotta see!

What happens here

Once the gate components are securely positioned on the jig, a skilled welder uses the TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding process to permanently join the aluminum pieces. The video shows Taylor, a welder with three years of experience, expertly performing clean, strong welds. TIG welding is chosen for aluminum due to its ability to produce high-quality, precise welds with minimal distortion, crucial for the gate's aesthetic and structural integrity.

Goal: Weld aluminum gate components together
