Really?!  Where can I find more details about how to do this.  (My arc welder is AC only.)

You can turn a MIG into a scratch start TIG by pulling
the wire and driving a tungsten into the mig tip. You
may have to drill the mig tip out so the tungsten will
fit but leave it tight.

If it ain't forged
it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
