Hi Guy's
I am currently a non-welder but I have a potential project, houseboat, looming and I need some advice. The boat is in need of some repair and alteration to make it into a pretty decent houseboat. Knowing nothing about welding but keen to learn and take on as much of the work as I can I intend to get myself on an evening course or two. So the first of potentially many questions, as the project progresses, is: which system is going to best for my needs Mig or Tig?
I would think we are looking at a minimum of 1/25 inch steel. Mainly patching here and there and when a bit more proficient a bit of structural work. Anything below the waterline will be left to those who weld for a living… for obvious reasons!
Cheers
Paul
