 why?
     I should add that I have very shaky hands.  when I attempt to  tig weld
 I have problems maintaining an arc and controlling the filler rod with much
 precision. I thought that a torch might not be quite so critical of my
 condition.

   I saw a coot that had parts welded with one of them and during
preflight checks the aileron fell of in his hand do to a weld
breakage.
  The weld had no penetration and was just stuck on the surface.
  No substitute for a tig.
