Hi guys,
where do you buy box section from? I found a place online this week for my balustrade project but it was quite expensive, how much do you guys pay for a 3m length of 30mm box section 3mm thick?
thanks guys.

Certainly don’t want anyone to hurt themselves on it so I’ll take your guys advice. I’ll get some samples of bits and see which won’t end up in people losing fingers. Thanks guys
thanks guys, I was going to put a small bit of angle under the box sections to fit the expamet on to. ill to put-up some picture of the space when I go there later.
Hi guys,
so I need to make a balustrade for a garden retaining wall at a property I own. I want to make it out of 30mm box section and expanded steel. it will be rectangular with 2 feet (atleast) either end and possibly one in the middle. My question is how long can 30mm box section run before...
Thanks CJ. Yeah only thing i had to hand to cut it was The worst cutting disc ever! I actually ordered a nibbler today To make cutting a bit easier. I have a Makita grinder but what do you guys use to cut steel with? Grinding seems like such an effort every time and its so loud I can’t hear...
Hahaha, thanks Tom. I’m really enjoying it, I’ve been waiting to learn to weld for about 10years. I wish I hadn’t put it off for so long I might be able to do it if I hadn’t! I feel like it’s going to be very different learning on 1mm panels but I’ll keep at it. Best to get easier stuff down...
Thanks so much this is such great info. You were so right about the gas I bumped up the rate to 11-12lpm and the weld was so much cleaner and better looking. Think maybe it needs to be hotter though as it’s still not showing on the other side but weld definitely looks cleaner and better. I’ll...
Thanks so much, it was actually welded horizontally but the photo looks like it’s vertical. I’ll turn the gas up some more. What should it be running at?
I bought a welder of eBay it’s a magnum I think it’s called, it seems really good, I’ve only done a tiny bit of welding before but have done...
