Welding Tips and Tricks is a good podcast to listen to when wanting to learn to weld a little better. The experience they have is outstanding, and can help us hobbyists from making mistakes. The episode I am referring to now, they talked about engine driven welders. While I don’t have one, they mainly talked about small engine maintenance. Most of us DIY types have a few small engines to maintain. So, on a sunny afternoon, these three were drug out and ran for a while. Good thing, as two of them didn’t want to start easily. A tip I heard on the podcast was to get gasoline without ethanol. I will get that next time I need to buy a jug of gas.

Hey, I’m just a computer guy that usually drives a desk all day.
Being able to have a good looking weld has been a goal. I recently started TIG welding again as a result of the desk legs. More practice needs to happen. It’s muscle memory that needs repetition. What challenges me, and what separates the amateurs from the professionals, is knowing what settings to use for different types and thicknesses of material. Experience and practice will make it better.
