First of two parts showing the cutting out, notching, jigging, brazing and TIG welding vs MIG welding processes involved in the construction of a recumbent tricycle frame. For the sake of brevity only key examples are shown. The music is from "My Favourite Guitar" by George Golla with apologies for the ugly industrial noises over the beautiful guitar work.

MIG, note the weld at top is more elevated than TIG.

TIG example

TIG, note the top bead is almost flat and better integrated into the material than MIG
