Stupid question from a dauber...sigh..
Lets say I want to tig an upright cylinder to a flat plate. What is the best way to do this in an unbroken, cosmetically pleasing fashion?
Im having some difficulties getting a good looking weldment whenever I try to do round Stuff. I can do..say a quarter way around or less, have to stop, turn it, weld more..turn etc.
I see all these really pretty weldments and cannot duplicate them. Same of course with MIG and Stick..but now with TIG..its become more important as Im working with thinner materials with more cosmetic need.
Its to the point Im considering making up a slow, variable speed welding fixture to turn the work via motor drive..though the grounding issue has yet to be figured out.. and this cant be used on stuff like say..exhaust manifolds and whatnot
Hints? Tips?

Yea, they shall scorn thee all the more. Rejoice in sharing what you have to share without expectation of adoration, knowing that sharing your treasure does not diminish your treasure but enriches it."
