Hi.
To cut a long story short, I am restoring an old narrowboat and need to do quite a lot of repairs and new fabrication welding. I intend to do as much of this as possible whilst the boat is on the water. I will only be welding the top half of the boat as the hull work will be done when I take the boat out for its inspection etc.
I'm new to welding although I did quite a bit when I was an apprentice toolmaker, mind you that was 35 years ago.
Can anyone give me hints and tips please especially around the safety aspect?
Also, can MIG welders be run successfully off a generator?
Many thanks Dan
