Can't speak to the divorce scenario, but I agree 100% about cheap tools and cheap filler materials in TIG welding--With quality tools and proper TIG techniques, there isn't any known ferrous or non-ferrous metal that cannot be properly welded-- I refuse to but any hand or power tool made in China, Taiwan, Japan or Korea- bad enough that most of the clothing in Cabela's, Eddie Bean, L.L.Bauer- etc is made in the orient and imported to America..RWTF
