I was sitting in a restaurant in Musanze (small town in Rwanda) on Sunday and there were a couple of lads doing some fabrication work in the car park. When I saw their kit I just had to take some pictures. I looked at them, kitted out with cheap plastic sunglasses for eye protection, then their kit and crossed myself. They laughed.
Now I have a serious request. If anyone reading this has an old arc welder they no longer use at the back of the shed, then donating it to a Rwandan will give them a lifetime of work. I am back out here in Feb with 30kg of spare luggage allowance and I have a contact at an NGO who would be able to pass it on to a suitable recipient. I usually take clothes and even the odd manual sewing machine, it all helps. I've no idea how you would get it to me but we will solve that problem later. So if you are interested in giving someone the gift of employment, please get in touch.
Btw I'm not a scammer. I've lurked on this forum for years, mostly on the MIG side, but that sort of kit is way too complex!
Regards
Simon
Take a look at their kit. I watched them fix it after one of the cables caught fire and they just carried on....
