Default TIG Welding anyone?

I been Tig welding at Santa Ana College for the past 4 months and I'm getting good at it. With the budget cuts and all the teacher is beginning to get on us about metal usage. We now have to continue to use the same metal pass after pass witch is not helping me learn anything new. My goal is to one day open up a muffler shop with this said, IFANYONE NEEDS ANYTHING TIG WELDED PM ME, if it looks like I can't do the job I will let you know. This helps me get experience and saves you cash. As of right now I can only do STEEL and ALUMINUM. Hit me up.
