materials for practice welding

[Wozzaaah]

Ah, that fine establishment called 'The Yew Tree'
Perhaps I need a copy of 'The Observer's Book of Trees' to go with my AA road map.

 

[Hitch]

The yew tree!!

 

[Gas mark 5]

the yew tree?
a pub?

 

[Hitch]

Ah, no..... thats what Woz thought when he came round to have some punching done.

The pub, is the Royal Wessex

The 'yew tree' is a sort of local landmark a tree in the middle of the road

 

[Wozzaaah]

Ah, see Hitch, even Gas Mark 5 thought it was the name of a pub!!!!

I have what's known as 'tree dyslexia'.
Woody, leafy things, they all look the same to me and definitely have no place in the middle of a flippin' road!!

 

[Gas mark 5]

Thank you for spelling my name right,
everyone thinks that it is meant to be gas mask 5 and I spelt it wrong!
It is gas mark 5 as in the setting for old gas cookers!

Hey, Gas Mark 5, if you haven't had any joy yet, give us a shout - I was thinking "Batcombe that sounds familiar", just drove from Frome & through Shepton on my way home, and somewhere around Dean or Leighton I saw the sign for Batcombe, just off the A361. Only about 5 or 10 mins away, so not a great problem to drop some bits off.

All the Best,
CJ

Hey thats a coincidence, I have a mate who lives in Batcombe, the chances of that!! I live in glastonbury and went to my local fab shop for some metal yesterday, if its any help its called Bannel Engineering and is located in Beckery Glastonbury (around the morelands area).

[Hitch]

A few members in this area are popping up now!!

 

[malcolm]

You ought to have a pub meet. Drink some cider together

 

[zardoz]

how can people stand not getting their hands dirty??

I always say the test of a real mechanic/tool dude was eating a bag of chips with oily hands and not going into a worry fit, after realizing you just eat the chips with your hands unwashed and your fingers are now oil free.

 

[Hitch]

Chips are cooked in oil anyway

Always wash hands before having a jimmy though

 

[Hitch]

Got a load here for you Gasmark, ready when your ready to collect it.
Rather than giving you long strips, i cut into pieces about 200mm long, so its virtually ready to practice on
Saves you having to do it!

 

[Gas mark 5]

Sorry I haven't been around (stupid temperamental computer!!!) righto-lots of things to reply to;
Country Joe-Thanks for that offer, I'm getting some stuff from Hitch but I think the more the merrier!
Olmasters-Thanks for that too,I'll see if I can pop into that shop sometime, Who are your mates in batcombe then, (it's a small place, we all know each other)
Malcolm-I'm 14 years old...(is it obligatory to drink cider if you can weld?)
Zardoz & hitch-That is my test as well, although I have to confess that last night I did actually wash me hands before lunch!
hitch-Thank you so much again for that, I'll come up on monday if that is still alright
There, Done it all =)

 

[Hitch]

Being a welder doesnt go hand in hand with cider drinking...... however, being 14 normally does
I think Malcolm is being cheeky however.....towards us 'carrot crunchers'

Anytime after about 5ish is okay tommorow mate

Youve got some 0.8, 1.5, 3, 4, 6, 8

 

[Weldingartisan]

Nice bit of 'grooming' there hitch! Oops sorry, bad taste. W/A

 

[Country Joe]

Hey, GasMark,
Looking at that list of Hitch's, I'm sort of thinking that the off-cuts I have around the place are may not be quite as useful as the pile he's put aside.
In fact, I'm beginning to think I might just set off for Hitch's yard, (a bit earlier than you, mind!) announce myself as "GasMarks driver", and get back home, maybe even before you've set off!
Nah, really, if you're stuck, send us a PM, but it very much looks as if your consignment from Hitch'll have things covered. (Assuming you get there first!!)

All the Best,
CJ

I'm already waiting outside his yard. Hurry up Hitch.

 

[Country Joe]

Ha! Paul,
It could never work - you'd never pull of the Somerset accent! That Yorkshire twang would give you away in seconds!
CJ

PS. I trust you got InTransit's consent, before using his distinctive prose!
