Hi there i have been at my mig welding for a few months now so i thought i would show my completed projects. I am mainly trying to make or gather up most of the stuff i will need for restoring my VW caddy, i have a few questions about tools and stuff so hopefully someone can be of some help!!!
My first project as most people do was a welding stand i copied the idea off here somewhere not sure from where so if its your design thanks!!
second i decided to build a workbench as i didn't have one i also managed to bag a bargain on a vice off ebay!
Finally i have a few questions about tools, i am in the market for a basic set of tools i can use around the caddy so i think i need a good spanner set, socket set some Allen keys etc and a welder. The welder i have already and i think i am gonna buy a halfords pro tool case as i can get 15% on top of the third off em atm,

halfords pro spanners look good the ratchet ones (are the swivel head ones any use?). I have asked a local dude who does college clear out to be on the look out for a single phase pillar drill!
As for a socket set my dad has a really old draper one its older than me he says and i am 20:
don't know if it is any use? the ratchet and a few socket are broken so i was gonna replace with a new ratchet and new teng sockets for the broken ones??
liked the look of this ?
