      Which part are you having a problem with?

        The similarities you posted maybe? Biggest difference is that you are heating the metal to liquid with either a flame or electrical arc. There are obvious differences in techniques but either way you are melting metal with heat and adding filler as you do so.

          Maybe I should have replaced that "it" with oxyacetylene(gas welding)?

          Otherwise I am really lost on why you are confused.

            I'm pretty sure you're just lost.

              It always possible, but every teacher I have ever had starts new TIG students off on oxyacetylene. Im not sure how holding a MIG torch with one hand as it spits out filler and stays at a constant amperage would teach you a damn thing about TIG welding.

                  I've been mig and tig welding for years it just came easy to me . I worked building com data electrical enclosures for years. We did everything from stainless , cold roll, galvanized, aluminum . It was a good way for me to learn alot of different types

                      shit, if you want to make money welding, just get on a pipeline crew... $40-50/hr burning rods w/ a DC welder
