Can you sell rust these days,Ron.
Iron ore is about $140 per ton

Ron continue with gasless welding for now until you have got some experience of settings and welds,anything after this can only be better ie using the gas because the gas is the most expensive part.
Did you get a auto darkening helmet?
It seems if you pull the trigger at the same time fully & hold it, then it arcs
Well laid my 1st few gasless welds, just to get used to the helmet & holding the torch, it's a lot harder than I thought.
That's priceless Ron, really made me laugh thanks You have to move the torch forward and keep it at the correct distance from the metal as well but that will all become evident as your journey progresses Best of luck with the Transit and keep plugging away.
Had a go on the van & yes burnt a couple of holes here & there 2-3mm, but they were easily fixed , got me hammer out underneath to ensure I got decent penetration as I guess the MOT man may do the same
Can't wait to be able to do proper beads I am proud off.
Looks like your patches need cleaning more 1/2"-1"minimum,are you using a flap disc or just a grinding disc?....also the welds look cold although yer pics are cr*p .....what settings and wire size etc?
