but hey, as long as I'm not looking for Pokemon its a good day as a functioning adult, right?

Yeah, I know about cast metals. I've done stick, MIG and oxy.. this was just my first time with TIG.
My main problem was not having anything at the house to really sharpen my tungsten. Keeping the arc and the puddle under control with a flat tipped electrode isn't easy.
Keep meaning to bring my die grinder home to do some sharpening. I'm afraid the abrasive disks won't do a lot verses the tungsten... waiting on a cheap bench grinder to come in from Amazon.
I don't know about that Pokémon thing. Even my wife is playing... seems like everyone under 30 is. I never got into it back in the day when Pokémon first came out in the 90's.
