I'm replacing the wood tire rack I have on my trailer with one made of aluminum ... I've finished the design and had the pieces cut (Metal Supermarkets FTW) ... and although I could bolt it together I think I'd rather weld it.

Anyone in the GTA willing to help a brother out and do some aluminum welding for me?

TIA

Yeah, you need to find someone that can TIG weld.

I can MIG weld it but it won't look as pretty as a TIG. I also need to pickup some new sheilding gas.
