I was half outside, in the Wind welding this, but yeah, some fumes when you smell them you just know there not going to be good, I end up going and getting a mask.
Will admit though, some days you do end up feeling crappy but don't pay much attention and just keep working.
Probably the better ones out of all the joins.
I can't believe I'm saying this but... I thought stainless steel was hard and the "worst" but this is on the list now at least for abit.
My amps were way to low and had so much slag not making it strong in the middle, turn the amps up... Magic...
Yeah, it is. We don't realise it but we are very lucky here and take a lot of things for granted but I don't know any different, only been to Australia, twice.
General area? East coast.
Brought a house not too long ago and don't really like how much the Windows open out.
So looked into getting window security latches fitted similar to this friction strap fitted, but smaller.
At a cost of $30 (£24) which would be $60 (£48) a window, say you have 20 Windows in your house by...
Interesting, yeah, I think the issue is it's for a farmer, who doesn't want it pretty just put back together, so I got told to not worry about grinding it just weld all the pipes back together so it holds.
I think it is just me wanting to try make a good job out of it but the pipes are abit...

I've used a couple of folders, not sure about that one though.
I've used an older one which was quite heavy and a modern one both folded in a way where you clamp the metal down by square sized weights, with a weight plate that comes up and you can bend to 90 degrees and so forth by how far you...
The weather? Hard to predict as usual, it's summer over here but many complaints because it's been more rain and cold than ever, mainly cloudy then hot most days though.
Hope you enjoy your time here, where Waikato is, is a nice area and the main city is Hamilton.
As far as I've ever been on this globe is Australia twice. I don't think I would ever go to any other country to sight see probably only to be on a work visa once I'm qualified and see the world that way as that's how most people in trades seem to like to get there experience and be able to get...
Indeed. Often you try move away from the fact of leaning on walls and things because depending on where and what your welding there might not always be stuff you can use to lean on to steady your arm, which then you use your other arm and your body to comfortably prop and hold your welding hand...
