So i was given a welder...

[BrokenBiker]

you may all remember that I had both my welders nicked a while back. since then I have been without a welder and have been using a mates tig set as a stick welder for most things.

anyway, one of other friends, who wanted to learn to weld, but gave up after a few days as he got burned a bit on his arm and deemed it too unsafe has donated me his mig...

unfortunately, it is another sealey mightymig100. atleast I know what to expect from it though. it will do for now to get a few jobs done that have been waiting. few neighbours want bras made for their shed doors to make them harder to get into, been a few more break ins over the last fortnight, and have a few small brackets that need repairs or alterations. the mig should be plenty capable of that

so, for the time being, im a mig welder again. thinking about making a few decorative pieces and selling them to fund a better welder but unsure of what to make as yet

I know a few women who'd be in the market for welded bras to make them more difficult to get in to.

Ahh, but have you got a long lead?

BFO bolt cutters should deal with the bras

I wish someone would donate a welder to me......

I sold my Clarke 151TE when I packed in my greenkeeping job and only have a wooden shed to work in now - I didn't see it being the safest activity/part-time.

I weld in a wood shed. its only a 6x4 but has served me well. set a few bits on fire a few times in the summer but in winter it seems to be fine. have lined it all with a dpm and now seems impossible to burn the thing. had a little play with the welder earlier, must say I have had better welds out of a crap machine, but that was using gas and solid wire. forgot how bad gasless was
