Hello all from the halifax area of West Yorkshire, im here as a total newbie. Well i have welded before but it was over 20 years ago and my brain cells have taken a beating since then so consider me completely weld thick.
Welding is one of those things ive always wanted to learn but just never found the time or funds to do so. Well now is the time.
Im a very hands on bloke and turn my hand to anything so i am determined now to learn the skill.
My main focus will be aimed at car repairs and custom work such as creating my own boost and exhaust pipes etc. Obviously this will mean working with different metals so i will need help in a few ways.
What type of welder to start out with?
How to set up for different metals?
Even things like tips on holding parts in place while they are being welded.
I like jags and jap cars so obviously sill repairs will be needed at some point lol but a big part of learning to weld will be so i can do custom pipework for myself and fabricate parts as i love to tinker / modify things.
I would love to be able to do this myself as i can do pretty much anything else already. And the pride of a job well done by yourself is worth more than anything else.
Thanks in advance, im off to get reading
