So, hello there. Absolute newb although I do confess to learning oxy when I was at college. (Does that make me bad?)
Been scanning this fine site for a while now and have to say it is full of great stuff and nice friendly people.
Mr. Weldequip, purveyor of fine goods and advice, has sold me a Portamig 181 . Happy about that, should arrive on Thursday with any luck.
Why learn to mig?? easy answer, VW!..
or to be specific a 1972 bay window camper. It's a well known fact that when they designed the early VW's it was part of the brief to make them rust. True!! honest , all part of a long term corporate plan. VW actually have majority shares in all welding equipment manafacturers!! So as you can clearly see there were some shrewd customers in office back in the day!
I will of course post some pictures and my first ever practise session, no matter how badly it goes
Cheers
Tim
