Hello Everybody !!

Just joined this forum as I bought a Castotig 2002 ACDC and a cheap Mig welder for training.
A good occasion to practise my english, so please I do apologise already if I hurt your eyes ...

Little experience in ARC welding from school, sometimes MIG welding at work for not-critical parts ...

Thanks for accepting me here !

I know we spent a few days touring on the bikes round that part of the world, France, Belgium, Germany sometimes difficult to know exactly which country you are in, almost as fun as Austria / Italy in the alps. Perhaps general locations like Flanders or Tirol are better than countries.

If you prefer location ...
Let's say south of Brussels, a little town named ... Waterloo !!!!
But ... should we change city name after "***********" ?


Hey, funny, when I type "***********" without spaces, it is automatically replaced by Brexit !!!

Welcome aboard...I did quite a bit of work in Belgium in a past life many many years ago...always had fond memories of eating mussels and fries with a great glass of wine....the good old days!

To be fair there are very few countries in the EU that I haven't worked in I think...Luxembourg is one of the few I think...although maybe I just forgot what I did there!
